Police report possible assault

HISTORIC TURNAROUND After a season when IU finished 12th in the Big Ten and had three players transfer, expectations were low. The Hoosiers had their best Big Ten finish since 1998 this year.

IU Coach Teri Moren takes a knee at the edge of the court during the fourth quarter of play Feb. 4 at Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers beat the Hawkeyes for one of their 12 conference wins, good enough for fourth in the Big Ten. It is the best Big Ten finish for IU since 1998.

A possible sexual assault was reported to have happened just before 9 p.m. Saturday at the 500 block of East Kirkwood Avenue, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said.

The investigation is being treated as a possible sexual assault because the victim does not remember any details of the incident. Her friend saw her exiting an alley shaking with her pants unbuttoned, Kellams said.

The victim and her friend then left the area and went home, where they called police and reported the incident at 9:43 p.m. The victim went to the hospital and had no signs of injury.

Alcohol was involved, Kellams said.

BPD is currently investigating the situation and there is no known suspect at this time.

year ago today, IU Coach Teri Moren was trying to establish the identity of her new program. Despite a 10-1 nonconference record, the Hoosiers finished as the 12seed in the Big Ten with a 5-15 record in conference play.

Now, Moren is the consensus Big Ten Coach of the Year following a turnaround that gave IU a double-bye into the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament.

The Hoosiers (20-10, 12-6) finished fourth in the conference.

Moren becomes the second coach in IU history to receive the conference’s highest coaching honor. Maryalyce Jeremiah won the award in 1983.

“This is way bigger than me,” Moren told Big Ten Network after receiving the news. “It’s a team award, it’s a staff award. The thing I’ve managed to do is surround myself with terrific people.

We’re going to accept this on behalf of our team and the incredible amount of work we’ve done thus far.”

This season has presented Moren with differences from her first year in Bloomington.

Specifically, IU will not have to play in the Big Ten Tournament until Friday, giving the Hoosiers their longest break without a game since the winter holidays.

Last season, IU was forced to play its first-round game a mere three days after its regular season finale.

“This is way bigger than me. It’s a team award, it’s a staff award.

The thing I’ve managed to do is surround myself with terrific people. We’re going to accept this on behalf of our team and the incredible amount of work we’ve done thus far.”

“A year ago, at this point, I couldn’t practice enough,” Moren said last week. “I wanted our kids to understand what we were going to be about.

It’s changed in the fact that I trust this group.”

In her second year, Moren’s Hoosiers were not expected to go undefeated at home.

They also weren’t expected to upset multiple ranked opponents and win numerous games on the road in Big Ten play.

Those expectations were set after IU lost three players to transfer and lost seven of its last eight games last season.

Regardless, Moren said she is not shocked with what the Hoosiers have done in her second year.

“This is honest-to-goodness truth, I don’t think we ever put a number on what we could do with this group,” Moren said. “We had no idea. I don’t want to say that I’m shocked because I think that takes away from our kids.

I’m not surprised by it. They’ve believed it from the beginning.”

Part of Moren’s lack of surprise is due to the sophomore combination of point guard Tyra Buss and forward Amanda Cahill.

Buss, who was named a first team All-Big Ten selection Monday, slid into the point guard spot after the

The three young men came early Sunday morning. They sprayed “Fuck Muslims,” “Fuck ISIS,” “suicid bombers” and genitalia in white paint on the red brick walls of the Islamic Society of North America in Plainfield, Indiana.

The message was disturbing and frightening, ISNA Secretary General Hazem Bata said. Even so, his main message to the vandals was “thank you.”

At a press conference Monday morning, Bata said he was grateful to the men, who had inadvertently reminded his community that every negative comes with a positive.

“I want to thank the vandals for highlighting the fact that the bonds between Muslims and their fellow Americans and the bonds between Muslims and their brothers and sisters in other faiths are stronger than the bond between spray paint and brick,” he said.

In the last day, those bonds have manifested themselves in social media posts, phone calls and letters from across the country.

People sent support from as far away as California and from as close as the society’s

neighborhood in Plainfield, which is west of Indianapolis.

Before the sun set on the weekend, a local volunteer had scrubbed every dot of paint away.

The support was not only from fellow Muslims, though ISNA is the largest Islamic organization in the country.

Most of the attendees of the crowded press conference were actually Christians.

A rabbi, a United Methodist pastor and the executive director of the Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council, Lindsey Mintz, had also come to speak and show support.

Mintz said it’s especially important for minorities to stand together in times of persecution and to work toward an America free from discrimination.

“When our children are young we can help prevent the development of prejudice from taking root by seeking out books and programs and teachers that promote respect for diversity, address bias and encourage social action,” she said.

Lindze Southwick agreed that early exposure to diversity is important.

For that reason, she had arrived at the press conference with her 4-year-old daughter, Bay Edwards, in tow.

“Why are we here?” Southwick

“I want her to experience other cultures,” Southwick said. “She needs to see differences and be surrounded by them.”

Federal Judge Tanya Walton Pratt blocked Gov. Mike Pence’s ban Monday on Indiana state agencies paying federal grant funds to local refugees’ resettlement agencies.

Pratt ruled Read one Monday on refugee family’s the Exodus story online Refugee ImForced to flee migration Inc. Syria and start complaint over, the Batman against Pence family adjusts to and John Werlife in Indianapolis. nert, the new Read their story Family and at idsnews.com/ Social Services refugees.

Administration secretary, according to the judge’s 36-page opinion on the subject.

The complaint claimed the State’s action was in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to the court opinion.

The State reasons not assisting in the resettlement of refugees is in the interest of public safety.

Exodus argued not offering social services to refugees does not protect Indiana residents.

Instead, Exodus said it discriminates specifically against Syrians, according to the court opinion.

Pratt agreed.

Her ruling grants a request for a preliminary injunction, which effectively stops Pence from enforcing his ban for the time being.

The injunction restrains the State’s claims but does not immediately or permanently dismiss them.

“The withholding of funds from Exodus that are meant to provide social services to Syrian refugees in no way directly, or even indirectly, promotes the safety of Indiana citizens,” Pratt said in the opinion.

“The State’s position to the contrary rests upon assumptions about which the evidence is, at best, unclear.”

Pratt dissected the State’s claim on the basis of prudential standing, merits, level of scrutiny and irreparable harm.

“The State’s directive is entirely unresponsive to the Syrians already here, and sweeps too broadly with the 27 Syrian refugees it seeks to deter from coming,” Pratt said.

Ruth Simcox, center, and Dave Simcox help Mary Migliozzi connect online Sunday at Nick’s English Hut. Local volunteers for Bernie Sanders along with members of “IU Students for Bernie Sanders” organized phone banking to generate voting data for the Sanders campaign.

Students engage in campaign

By Hannah Alani halani@indiana.edu | @HannahAlani

Upstairs at Nick’s English Hut on Sunday, volunteers sat in a small room with their cellphones and laptops. They were calling strangers and classifying them as such: “Strong Bernie” “Leaning Bernie” “Undecided” “Leaning Hillary” “Strong Hillary” Call after call, they kept dialing voters in Super Tuesday states, hoping they could bring “undecided” up to “leaning” and “leaning” up to “strong Bernie.”

Before IU freshman Stanley Njuguna left Nick’s, he had called about 60 voters to talk to them about Bernie Sanders. The other members of Students for Bernie Sanders at Indiana University put in their share of phone calls too, including the group’s president, IU junior Caleb Bauer.

“There’s always been a period where the people take their power back,” said Bauer, who equates the grassroots Bernie campaign efforts to the civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s. “This is a rebirth of that attitude,

of being active citizens in a democracy and making sure our voices are heard,” IU’s Students for Bernie Sanders group, which is not an official IU organization, is the second-largest campus Bernie Sanders campaign group in the country, Bauer said. The group is second in size to the Students for Bernie at the University of California-Berkley.

The group has a small executive board that meets biweekly and a core group of members who meet weekly.

The group also meets with the IU College Democrats to register voters. Together, the Sanders group and College Democrats have registered almost 200 students to vote, Njuguna said.

Voter registration, phonebanking and traveling to primary and caucus states are a big part of what the Sanders group does, Bauer said.

In contrast, the Students for Hillary Clinton group focuses more on registering Indiana voters and campaigning for local and state Indiana Democrats, the group’s president Kegan Ferguson said.

Ferguson said that’s the main difference between for-

mer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign and Sanders’.

“Hillary’s campaign recognizes that a true ‘political revolution’ is a continual process of Democratic progress at the local and statewide level,” Ferguson said.

“Not just rushing to the nearest primary state to attend a large rally.”

The Clinton student group has around 15-20 core members. Like the Sanders group, Clinton supporters focus mostly on coordinating voter registration and phone-banking, Ferguson said.

Voter registration efforts for the Clinton group can last anywhere from 2-6 hours depending on the day and event, he said, adding that last weekend, Sanders and Clinton volunteers spent three days together registering students to vote.

IU College Democrats helps both sides register voters and will endorse and campaign for the candidate who wins the nomination at the end of the primaries, Njuguna said.

According to IU College Republicans, Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Ted Cruz

have active campus groups.

IU Students for Marco Rubio’s group has about 30 active members who volunteer their time, the group’s chairman Mason Schreiber said Monday.

Group members do not meet regularly and communicate primarily through email and GroupMe, he said.

A few group members volunteered to call voters in Super Tuesday states, Schreiber said. But like the Clinton group, most of their current efforts are focused on Indiana voters and getting Rubio on the Indiana ballot.

By the end of Super Tuesday, voters in 12 states will bring the nation one step closer to recognizing its Republican and Democratic candidates for President of the United States. Super Tuesday matters because no other primary day has as many delegates grouped at once; 661 Republican and 865 delegates will be allocated.

Sunday’s event at Nick’s saw plenty of hang-ups. But there were also a few voters who confirmed themselves as Sanders supporters. Most calls landed somewhere in between.

REAL for IUSA announce ticket

By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich

With members coming from current and previous IU Student Association experiences, REAL for IUSA’s ticket has focused its campaign on building off the momentum of the current administration.

Junior Sara Zaheer, REAL president, said the student body is in a transformative place where students are speaking up and want more say in what gets done in student government.

REAL’s team includes junior Alex Trevino, vice president of administration, junior Tyler Knox, vice president of congress, and sophomore Patrick Kennedy, treasurer.

REAL stands for Representative Experienced Active Leadership.

Policies REAL has four main initiatives: Inclusive Hoosier Experience, Health and Safety, Sustainability, and Student Voice.

Under Inclusive Hoosier Experience, REAL wants to create a more diverse and inclusive environment on campus.

REAL plans to improve incident reporting and emphasize this in course syllabi.

They also want to improve disability services and the accessibility of campus buildings and to create more effective academic advising resources.

“We want everyone to feel like campus is accessible, affordable and inclusive,” Zaheer said.

Kennedy has taken charge of working to improve the IU Mobile App. “I think it’s something that, if done right, could be a re-

ally useful tool to students on campus,” Kennedy said.

In terms of sustainability, REAL has plans to make more off-campus recycling as well as improve current recycling in academic buildings. They also hope to put in more motion-sensor lighting and have more double-sided printing in printers on campus.

Knox, who is pursuing a minor in sustainability, said this initiative is his favorite.

“Whenever I’m walking on campus, there are always these little issues that I see and I’m just like, ‘Let’s fix that.

It’s not that difficult to fix,’” Knox said.

To improve health and safety, REAL plans to build off of what is already being talked about on campus.

Some of REAL’s policies for this include revamping IU Safety Escort, continuing to work for more lighting in Dunn Woods and off-campus neighborhoods, having more in-house counselors in academic and cultural centers and working to improve or replace IU Notify.

“I just really want everybody to be safe,” Miko Siewenie, REAL’s campaign manager, said. “People are worried about going to class at 6 p.m., and that’s heartbreaking to me.”

Another initiative REAL wants to implement came from talks with other Big Ten student governments. Other schools take revenue from alcohol sales at sporting events and give a portion of it to a public health program such as preventing binge drinking.

Zaheer said if REAL were to implement a program like that at IU, it would want to give a portion of the revenue to mental health programs.

“That’s such a need and

that’s something we want every student to be able to have the resources and support to do well academically,” Zaheer said.

For the student voice initiative, REAL works off the phrase “If you pay, you have a say.”

One way to increase student voice and transparency is by better communicating how student fees are being used.

A big goal under student voice is increasing the communication and collaboration among different governing organizations on campus.

Siewenie said many powerful student organizations have the same ideals and goals, but they don’t often unite and work toward the same goal.

REAL wants IUSA to work with other organizations and put their funding and their ideas together.

There’s a lot of overlapping in programming among students, student groups and administration, Siewenie said.

“They’re going toward the same ideas, but you can’t really bring a lot of people and unify them if there are so many different things hap-

pening at the same time and so many people are getting different information,” Siewenie said.

On a larger scale, REAL plans to create an avenue where students can share their opinions and be heard by the University when they are looking to support or oppose certain state legislation.

Zaheer said it would be nice to have a place for students to share their opinions on certain topics instead of just talking about it amongst themselves.

Next Steps As it prepares for the election in April, REAL will continue to reach out to students across campus to hear its ideas. By using the resources each member has, it will also make a plan for how to get its initiatives done.

Zaheer said REAL is the ticket that will use the many resources it has to accomplish its goals. For each policy goal, they have a plan on whom to talk to, what they next steps are and how to get it done.

“We are actually putting in the initiative and the work and the passion to get them done,” Trevino said.

Since 2010, IU has launched 1,966 efforts on campus to promote diversity.

Despite this, the University faces several challenges in continuing a strategic effort that makes the push for diversity more cohesive.

Halualani & Associates, a consulting group that conducted a comprehensive assessment of IU’s diversity and inclusion efforts, used web-scraping tools, surveys and other methods of compiling data to quantify and map University activities.

They determined 99 percent of IU’s efforts to be intrinsically motivated.

“We ought not to get too swayed by the quantity,” said Rona Halualani, managing principal and founder of Halualani & Associates. “This is more than just a number. What I like about this is that I can tell IUB is already in the works, because 95 percent of those efforts were centrally focused on diversity.”

Halualani discussed the assessment’s findings Monday morning in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center.

She explained diversity mapping as a process requiring the analysis of structural evidence of various diversity efforts as well as a range of personal accounts of the campus’s climate.

A quantifiable diversity effort consists of any activity or program that is not part of a set curriculum.

Events can include student initiatives, panels or any event at which inclusivity for marginalized or underprivileged groups is discussed.

Halualani & Associates received 1609 responses on the Diversity Efforts Informational Survey, which is one of the highest rates for a higher educational institution.

For their work concerning IU, Halualani also received more than 400 emails privately and reviewed more than 483 documents submitted to the group online.

After counting the number of diversity efforts made by the University and critiquing their depth and breadth, Halualani said her team was able to give a definitive ranking to IU’s level of strategic practices.

Out of four stages, four being the most dynamic and aligned through their efforts, IU was determined to be squarely in the second stage in their diversity initiatives.

“In order to improve, IU needs to latch on to the current goals it has right now, come together to elaborate on how to take action steps and have a better conversation,” Halualani said.

The consulting group had several suggestions for moving IU up a tier.

IU’s Diversity Efforts What percentage of diversity efforts target each group?

24 percent to race 14 percent to gender 13 percent to international students 12 percent to intersectionalities 12 percent in nationality 9 percent in socioeconomic status 9 percent in language 7 percent other Specific divisions focus on specific types of efforts 60 percent efforts mostly expose/inform 17 percent support 7 percent recruit 3 percent include 13 percent other Who is initiating these efforts?

59 percent mostly events 15 percent student clubs/ organizations 6 percent recruitment of students 4 percent campus resource 3 percent financial aid/ scholarship 13 percent other Proposals include focusing more diversity engagement on issues in power and justice, developing a stronger structure for retention and recruitment of minorities and focusing more on groups that are commonly overlooked on campus such as veterans and the disabled.

Halualani said a campus climate assessment every two years is a good starting point to gauge student and faculty experiences.

She also said an indepth study on departure studies was critical for maintaining high retention rates.

“A lot of the factors that lead students to dropping out has to do with emotional regulation, academic validation, having a crisis and being unable to find help,” Halualani said.

Toward the end of the presentation, the floor was opened for attendees to make comments and ask Halualani questions about the assessment process and how to use the findings to improve the campus climate.

“As long as I think we look at difference as a deficit, we will never achieve belonging,” said Valerie Grim, chair of the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies.

Halualani said she was confident in IU’s mission statements and diversity efforts and improving these practices could form a more cohesive, centralized plan for the University’s future that will guide it toward being more inclusive, welcoming and a better home.

“The goal of diversity mapping for us is to show you a picture of yourself that you might not have seen,” Halualani said. “This assessment isn’t the work.

The work actually begins now.”

Syria’s so-called cease-fire WE SAY: The violent Syrian civil war seems to have no light at the end of the tunnel The Syrian civil war seems like an ongoing saga of increased violence and bloodshed with no light at the end of the tunnel.

In order to try and put at least a temporary end to the violence in Syria, the United States and Russia agreed to a partial truce last week.

According to the agreement, the Syrian government and the armed opposition are asked to concur on a “cessation of hostilities” that began this last weekend.

Although the agreement to temporarily end hostilities seems like a positive step forward, we, the Editorial Board, are skeptical this cease-fire will be able to actually curb the level of violence in Syria.

We believe the United States involvement in Syria

is not politically persuasive enough to bring change to the conflict.

President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin worked out details of the cease-fire over the phone.

During the phone call, Obama told Putin that the goals of this agreement were to “alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people.”

The New York Times also claimed the agreement served to “accelerate a political settlement and keep the focus on the coalition’s battle against the Islamic State.”

While it is important for the U.S. and Russia to come to an agreement on their approaches and involvement in the Syrian conflict so that hostilities between our two countries do not get worse,

the cease-fire is only recognized by two of the four violent groups in the area.

The agreement leaves the Islamic State and the Nursa Front, arguably the two most violent extremist groups, out of the cease-fire.

The exemption of ISIS and Nursa make the Editorial Board doubt the effectiveness of the cease-fire and whether or not the cessation of violence will last as long as it was agreed to last.

At the same token, the reputation of the U.S. acting in good faith is also questionable.

The State Department released a statement for Secretary of State John Kerry, stating, “He is of course glad that we got the modalities agreed upon and a start date, but he

isn’t prepared to take anything for granted.

In his mind, this is not time to celebrate.”

Kerry is so skeptical of this cease-fire working out that he spoke about a backup plan to build a partition between the Syrian government-controlled area and the government opposition.

Basically, this partition would divide the presence of the U.S. and Russia in Syria.

The Editorial Board agrees a backup plan, but a partition, is necessary. The U.S. and Russia should be focused on removing ISIS from the region and not on the territorial holdings of the other.

A cease-fire may sound like a great step forward in ending violence, but it might do more harm than good.

CRAZY IS MAJORITY RULES

Wearing a hijab is not “passive terrorism” A recent United States military white paper, titled “Countering Violent Extremism,” cited that for a moderate Muslim to wear a headscarf, or hijab, is a contributor “passive terrorism.”

Passive terrorism, as delineated in the white paper, happens when “moderate segments of the population decline to speak against or actively resist terrorism.”

It hardly requires explanation that the hijab and other traditional religious attire, especially those associated with Islam, bear some unfortunate cultural associations in the U.S. A great deal of discrimination has been unduly directed at moderate Muslims who choose to wear the hijab, which is unfortunate but also a well-publicized notion.

Of course this paper started a huge online response, but much of the backlash against this white paper was focused on the fact that hijabs obviously aren’t dangerous in

any way, even ideologically.

I agree with this claim, but it isn’t the most airtight argument to be drawn up so easily here. The author of the paper could still assert that there are implications to the hijab his opponents fail to see.

His opponents could counter this by explaining how their views do incorporate these implications or that the implications don’t even exist to begin with.

It then goes back to the author, then to the opponent of the author, and on and on ad nauseum. It becomes a “one person’s word against another’s” argument that will just go in circles until either party finds reason to leave.

It’s an error of reason.

First, wearing the hijab doesn’t exclude the possibility of denouncing terrorism. If we re-examine the quote, it would seem that this exclusivity is basically a de facto parameter of their

argument.

It’s unclear why they did this, but quite obvious that they did. If they hadn’t, they would have no point to make.

Wearing a hijab doesn’t mean not resisting terrorism.

Second, and perhaps most disturbingly, the paper imparts moderate Muslims with the responsibility to “actively resist terrorism.”

No other segment of the populace, to my knowledge, has a responsibility like this, apart from maybe the Department of Homeland Security, but I’m addressing ethnic demographic divisions, not occupational ones.

I for one don’t wake up every day and think, “Golly, I wonder what I’ll do to stop terrorism today.”

But that doesn’t mean the claim that I’m not speaking against or actively resisting terrorism make me a passive

terrorist?

And who is worse, me or, for instance, an anti-terror activist who also happens to wear a hijab?

The right choice seems obvious.

In any case, the point is that the citizenry of the U.S shoulders no fundamental responsibility to fight terror, barring the exceptional case that doing so is their job or for a reason similar to this one.

The logic of it is inconsistent, and it’s built on the shaky foundation of primitive American xenophobia. This notion of passive terrorism is exactly the kind of product one would expect from an attempt to preserve an antiquated and flawed notion. jcworrel@indiana.edu

With the death of one of the most influential jurists of the century, a vacancy has appeared on the Supreme Court.

Having laid Justice Scalia to rest, the political world now turns its attention to finding his replacement.

As your high school civics teacher would love to remind you, the president chooses a nominee that must then be confirmed by the Senate. All this takes is a simple majority, though Senate rules technically mean a nominee could be stopped by 41 senators.

Let’s make sure both sides are honest on whether or not they’re playing politics.

Due to the tremendous affect the Supreme Court can have on the nation’s political development, Scalia’s replacement could shift the Court left for the first time in more than a decade or shore up conservative legal victories for the foreseeable future.

This matter becomes more contentious with an executive and Senate of opposing parties. After the news of Scalia’s passing broke, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared any Obama nominee DOA. Not surprisingly, and not incorrectly, President Obama claims that Republicans are playing politics by refusing to entertain even the idea of allowing him to nominate a replacement.

However, it is disingenuous not to acknowledge Democrats are playing politics as well. Such is the way of Washington, D.C. Democrats have argued the Supreme Court will be unable to attend to its full docket of cases, and with an even number of members, might end up with ties in important cases.

But if Obama, in his wisdom, was so worried about this, he could simply appoint a strong conservative candidate he knows the Senate GOP would support.

Both sides are playing politics and will continue to do so.

On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid held

ZACK CHAMBERS is a freshman in management.

a press conference in front of the Supreme Court building telling Republicans to do their job.

This begs the question: What is Senate Republicans’ job? Reid seems to think it is to keep business flowing in Washington.

But if we remember back to 2014, voters intentionally sent senators of the opposite party to resist Obama. If voters wanted what Reid is demanding, surely they would have kept their previous senators that had been more in line with Obama for the last six years and allowed Democrats to retain control of the Senate.

A Congressperson’s job is to represent his or her voters, and it sure seems like the voters wanted a counterbalance to the man in the Oval Office.

Showing remarkable care for the future of their political rivals, Democrats also point out that some polls show a majority of this or that category of voter thinking the Court’s vacancy should be filled immediately.

Anyone who wants to rely on polls six months out from an election would be wise to remember recent history, when another senator from Vermont was down 30 points to his rival in New Hampshire with virtually no name recognition.

With the Supreme Court having recently weighed in on everything from affirmative action to gun control to abortion, it makes sense politicians are so concerned with the ideological makeup of it.

Instead of pretending like this is some sort of high-minded, apolitical process, all players should instead be honest and make their case for why their agenda is best served either by waiting or confirming a nominee this presidential term. zaochamb@indiana.edu

WHITTICISMS

Books and beyond volunteering What are you passionate about? It’s not a question for an admissions essay, but a start to find a cause.

Many students are coerced to volunteer through the organizations. Most major organizations have a community service chair, and all of greek life have national philanthropies and required volunteer hours.

Students need to understand the value of volunteering and how it could change their own lives.

But rather than going through the motions, packing bags at a food bank or spending an afternoon visiting retired people, you should find something you care about.

IU alumna Nancy Uslan found her passion in child literacy on a trip to Rwanda. The goal was to learn more about the mountain gorillas in the country, but Uslan found herself helping children of a recently genocide-ridden country to never repeat the past.

“I’ve always been a nurturer,” Uslan said.

With a background in nursing, she expected to initially start philanthropic work centered around healthcare.

When she stepped back, she realized she could make a significant difference focusing on childhood literacy.

Her solution to the problem was to found Books and Beyond, a campus organization that works with the local elementary school children to write and publish books in English that will be sent to the Rwandan school system.

“Students need experimental learning,” Uslan said.

“When you can feel the impact, that’s where the learning really happens.”

WHITNEY KIEPURA is a senior in marketing and international business.

The project has taken hours of work in writing the stories, recruiting students to manage the organization and keeping it funded. It has also managed printing the books in Kenya before shipping them to schools in Rwanda.

Uslan planted Books and Beyond among the IU Global Village Living Learning Center with the help of Assistant Director Lauren Caldarera.

“It was a natural step. I adored Bloomington. I knew I was going to give back to a place I loved for four years,” Uslan said.

This type of dedication comes from people who are truly passionate. Spending a few hours a week is the first step to fostering an interest in a cause.

Starting with one cause helps students build relationships and foster a deeper understanding of the people involved. Finding a passion lets students move from logging hours to truly changing their community.

Uslan’s focus on child literacy has spread to other areas under her company Neu Global. The company provides healthcare and water to Rwandan villages upon the foundation of Books and Beyond.

From Bloomington to Rwanda, investing in an organization is the key to changing the status quo. @wkiepura wkiepura@indiana.edu

“They’re people that are kind of old?” she guessed.

Southwick pointed to a young woman in a hijab.

“But that woman’s a Muslim and she’s not old,” she explained.

Bay looked carefully.

“They wear the thing on their head,” she said.

It’s moments like these, these points of connectivity, that Bata said are the most important in fighting hate.

“Our main goal is to educate people,” he said, noting he was unsure as of yet whether ISNA will press charges if the men are ever caught.

“This act was not necessarily the result of hatred, but a result of fear in the face of ignorance.”

He said most Americans have never met a Muslim, but of the Americans who have, almost all of them have a favorable view of Muslims.

“When people meet me ,they get to see that I’m extraordinarily charming,” he joked. “I get that from my dad.”

He also said, like many Americans, he’s struggling to find the money to send his kids to college, he tries hard to make sure his wife isn’t mad at him and he hates sitting in traffic.

He was able to relate these personal facts while surrounded by microphones, cameras, notepads and new acquaintances, many of whom would never have visited the mosque if it weren’t for the vandalism.

He invited the vandals to come in the door next time instead of painting around it. He told them they could share stories, eat kebabs and learn about each others’ faiths.

Again, he told them, “Thank you.”

The vandalization of the Islamic Society of North America came just four days after two Muslim men were shot “execution-

style” in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and 10 days after a Chinese exchange student was stabbed in the back with a hatchet by a white supremacist in Nashville, Indiana.

Though the murders have not been confirmed as hate crimes, they, along with the other two incidents, have helped spark the dialogue surrounding the lack of hate crime legislation in Indiana.

“Adding and enforcing a law that would address crimes based on prejudice would help align our laws with our American values,” Mintz said at a press conference Monday.

Indiana is one of only five states without hate crime laws and Indiana lawmakers announced this week it will likely stay that way for another year.

Senate Bill 220, authored by Sen. Susan Glick, R-LaGrange, would have made bias crimes an aggravating circumstance in sentencing.

It is expected to die in the House due to a lack of time for a committee hearing this session.

“That kind of act sends a signal to every Muslim in Indianapolis that you are not wanted, that you are not safe,” Bata said.

“That’s what makes hate crimes so dangerous.

It’s not a crime against an individual — it’s a crime against an entire community.”

SUPER TUESDAY Today is Super Tuesday, a day during which 12 states hold their primary elections.

Generally, a good showing on Super Tuesday can lock down a candidate’s nomination.

As the country gears up for a big day in politics, we profiled locals who support each of the presidential candidates.

Donald Trump

Hillary Clinton M

ary Ann Hope was born in 1947, before the passage of the Civil Rights Act, before Roe v. Wade, before the election of the first black president.

Hope actively campaigned for Barack Obama in 2008 but now supports his former opponent Hillary Clinton, whom Hope said she sees as the heir to his progressive legacy. She said Clinton’s experience as secretary of state prepared her to step right into

the presidency.

“I support Hillary because I believe she is by far the most qualified to be president,” Hope said. “And despite what some say, she is not at all an extremist.”

Hope is an independent, but she says she couldn’t vote for any of the Republican candidates running this election cycle. Social issues are SEE CLINTON, PAGE 10

ike Potter said he feels like he can trust Donald Trump.

That’s why the 34-year-old Bedford, Indiana, resident said he supports the presidential candidate in the upcoming election.

Trump can be vulgar, yes, and even Potter said he agrees the candidate should tone it down sometimes. But he speaks his mind, Potter said.

“He’s a little bit outlandish at times, but he doesn’t seem like he’s got all those skeletons in the closet like all those other politi-

Bernie Sanders A

fter six hours of calling strangers, Ruth Simcox sipped a beer at Nick’s English Hut with her husband. Just a couple of volunteers were left still making calls.

“A lot of hang-ups,” Ruth, 65, said to her husband, Dave Simcox, 66, at the end of a long day.

One of the callers hung up his phone.

“Woo!” he yelled. “Another Bernie voter!”

“Alright!” Ruth said.

On Sunday afternoon, Bloom-

ington residents and IU students filled a small room at Nick’s to use their cellphones and laptops to call voters in Super Tuesday states.

They were gauging the potential Bernie Sanders support and entering voters’ Bernie-status in the official Bernie campaign national phone-banking database.

Dave and Ruth said they felt good at the end of the day.

“He’s the first guy that’s ever SEE SANDERS, PAGE 10

cians out there,” Potter said.

Potter said he started supporting Trump about six months ago when he began to follow the political race. He said he watched some of the debates and Trump’s honesty struck him.

“He isn’t afraid to call it like it is,” Potter said.

Potter’s political views were strongly influenced by those of his grandparents, Bill SEE TRUMP, PAGE 10

Marco Rubio B

ailee Renfro said she knew she would vote for Marco Rubio when she saw a video on YouTube.

In it, an atheist holds a camera and asks the Republican presidential nominee about whether or not he would let his Christianity interfere with his policies in the Oval Office.

“Rubio made a really great point that his faith is part of who he is, but he’s not going to establish a nation that makes anyone uncomfortable or makes anyone feel like they don’t belong here,” the freshman broadcast journalism major said. “He’s careful to make sure nobody feels like they

aren’t at home.”

However, she’s supported Rubio’s stances on not welcoming Syrian refugees and illegal immigrants, she later clarified.

“Rubio’s family represents the way immigration is supposed to be done,” she said of the Senator from Florida. “He shows that it is possible to do it legally.”

Though Renfro said she has been keeping up with the election for some time, she said no specific policies come to mind when she explains her support for Rubio.

SEE RUBIO, PAGE 10

Ted Cruz A

fter learning to respect both sides and engage in critical thinking from his time in Catholic school, the chairman of the Monroe County Republican Party, William Ellis, said he has decided that, for him, the best candidate for presidency is Ted Cruz.

“I love the way he strategizes,” Ellis said. “That’s one thing I love about candidates, even if I don’t agree with all of their positions.

Ellis grew up in Indianapolis and attended a Catholic school. One of his favorite professors, whom Ellis describes as a far-left liberal, taught

him it’s possible to have different ideas, but critical thinking is necessary to support them.

“Government is not the answer,” Ellis said. “I believe that, individually, we are all phenomenal people, and we can find our own answers. Sometimes we need help, but I’ve found that in my personal life and in my business life that if you get a group of friends or a community together, you can strategize and get the help you need.”

Ellis agrees strongly with Cruz on illegal immigration, he said. Ellis said he believes both the influx

of immigrants and the companies that take advantage of them can be controlled. The fact that immigrants are being exploited makes Ellis more upset than their actually being here, he said. Cruz is one of the few candidates speaking of accountability when it comes to this issue, Ellis said.

“It’s not compassion when you don’t pay people minimum wage,” Ellis said. “It’s not compassion when you can fire them at will or abuse them, and there’s nothing they can do because they don’t have legal status.”

‘42nd Street’ to perform at IU to deeply connect with her character, she said. On the surface, diva Dorothy Brock is the cold-hearted prima donna of the show, the character that the audience is not supposed to like.

Dorothy talks down to people and exercises her strong will without mercy, Lawrence said, but there is still a human element to her character.

“Underneath it all, she has an extreme sense of urgency and insecurity like everyone else does,” Lawrence said. “‘42nd Street’ is set during the Great Depression, so she’s not just wanting to be a star. It’s not just about the attention or her ego — it’s really about survival.”

The part of Dorothy Lawrence said she can connect with is the character’s work ethic. Dorothy will always make it happen and get the job done.

Troika Entertainment’s national tour of the musical “42nd Street” has traveled to 41 states and put on more than 120 performances since it started in September 2015.

It will not be finished until July after at least 200 more performances, including a stop in Bloomington tonight and Wednesday.

“It’s easy to go stale on the road,” Kaitlin Lawrence, who plays Dorothy Brock, said. “You have to make the choice to keep growing and learning.”

The show, about young Peggy Sawyer getting her big break into Broadway, is different every night.

Lawrence said even slight changes like deeper breaths before starting to sing can make the tour an opportunity to make cast members better performers.

Performing the same role for so long has given Lawrence the opportunity

Dorothy wears in the show is made of real human hair and cost more than $7,000. Lawrence has long red hair, but the wig was styled after her own hair.

“In rehearsals, to get my hair out of my face I’d put it up in a really high side ponytail,” Lawrence said. “My director loves my side pony.

He thinks it’s very diva, and it’s my signature thing. All of the curls in my wig in the show are off to one side, and that’s actually modeled after my own hair.”

The director of the show is Mark Bramble, one of the original co-authors of the show in the 1980s. He will be coming to Bloomington to check up on the cast, so the show will be in top shape, Lawrence said.

“It is a hard lifestyle, but to get paid to do what you love deep down, there’s no way to explain how wonderful that is,” Lawrence said. “It makes me better on a daily basis.”

Performing for college students is especially enjoyable, Lawrence said, because she remembers not so long ago when she was a student looking up at the performers onstage and knowing how badly she wanted to be up there with them.

“I want to be the example,” Lawrence said. “I hope that they are sitting there dreaming, and I hope that they know it can come true for them. I hope the show inspires them.”

A NIGHT OF NEW MUSIC Haeni Lee, Kathryn Chamberlain, Marta Gudmundsdóttir and Leonardo Vàzquez perform “Ripple Cycles,” a string quartet piece written by student composer Chris Neiner, during the student composition and chamber music recital Monday at Ford-Crawford Hall.

Although Irish blood doesn’t run in her family, Mara Bernstein said a college trip to Ireland sparked a love for the culture.

Bernstein, who works for the IU Foundation, has launched the Small Island Big Stories: Irish Film Festival. The festival, which will be Saturday at the IU Cinema, features two Irish films with Irish Gaelic dialogue and English subtitles.

As a way to celebrate Irish-American Heritage Month, Bernstein said she chose films with Irish Gaelic dialogue to educate viewers on the language.

“We’re really just letting people know that the Irish language exists, that it is alive and well and there are some great things happening,” she said.

The two films chosen for the festival include “Song of the Sea” and “An Bronntanas,” both from 2014.

“Song of the Sea,” which is also part of the cinema’s CINEKids series, is an animated feature based on the legend of the Selkies, an Irish myth of a creature resembling a seal in water and human on land.

“An Bronntanas” is a live-action feature following a lifeboat crew as it faces an ethical dilemma when it finds an abandoned boat filled with valuable drugs.

Both films were chosen to highlight how Irish people view their relationship with the sea, Bernstein said.

“The sea can be very kind, but also very cruel,” she said. “In the two films, one is a little more fun, and one is a little more realistic and mature.”

In 2003, Bernstein spent a summer in Ireland to study archaeology. She said she chose Ireland because she didn’t want to worry about another language, but soon learned about the Irish language as she switched her study to anthropology.

Years after her first trip to Ireland, Bernstein said she still can’t pinpoint what made her fall in love with the culture. However, she said

SMALL ISLAND BIG STORIES: IRISH FILM FESTIVAL Free but ticketed 3 p.m. Saturday, IU Cinema the welcoming, resilient people and the scenic view are two of her favorite aspects.

“Whether or not you’re thinking of the cliffs overlooking the ocean, or those green fields with the rock walls, and many other kinds of environments in Ireland, the whole place is just beautiful,” she said.

After moving to Bloomington in 2007 to pursue a master’s degree in anthropology, Bernstein said she quickly became connected with fellow Irish advocates in the community.

Since meeting locals such as Devin Blankenship, member of the Bloomington Irish Language Group, and Matt O’Neill, owner of the Runcible Spoon, Bernstein said she participates in groups like the Indiana Celtic Community and the Irish-American Community at IU. As a result of Bernstein’s affiliation with so many groups, the festival is sponsored by a range of groups, including the Runcible Spoon and the departments of Anthropology and Folklore and Ethnomusicology.

With a large support system as her sponsors, Bernstein said she hopes to see the Small Island Big Stories: Irish Film Festival become an annual event.

However, due to the IU Cinema’s full schedule as an attempt to be inclusive of the entire community, she said she will likely have to work on future festivals with or without the Cinema as host.

Regardless of venue, Bernstein said she plans to spend each March educating the Bloomington community on the rich variety of Irish culture.

“I think it’s important to remind people that groups of people are not just the few things that get sold on the holiday that America chooses to recognize them,” she said. “There is more to Irish culture and heritage and history than St. Patrick’s Day.”

When a girl is sexually aroused, is it true that her breast size also increases?

Yes – but not enough for you to notice.

When any human being becomes sexually aroused, their heart rate increases as does blood flow to various tissues throughout the body.

Blood flow increases to the genitals in men, for example, which helps with penile erections and vaginal lubrication.

Blood flow also increases to the breast/chest area, which can lead to “sex flush” in some people, particularly fairer skinned people, in which red spotty areas are noticeable on the chest.

The breasts can also swell slightly with arousal.

Key word: slightly.

You should not be policing women’s bodies to see whether their breasts are ever so slightly fuller

as a means of figuring out whether they’re feeling aroused.

A more reliable cue of their arousal is likely to be whether they are kissing you with passion or intensity or saying how much they like/ love/want you or noticeable vaginal wetness.

With that being said, arousal does not equal consent and I cannot stress that enough.

Some people mistakenly look for signs of arousal as if those signs can tell a person whether or not their partner wants to have sex with them.

And that’s just not the case.

Even among highly sexually satisfied and sexually active couples, there are many times when a person may feel aroused or turned on but not feel like having sex.

Maybe they don’t want

to have sex because they’re tired or mad or short on time.

They might not also want to have sex if they’re not ready.

It can’t be said enough times — the best way to be sure if someone wants to have sex with you, regardless of their gender, is to ask them.

Hoosiers playing for outright Big Ten title After rough start to season, Tom Crean is a Coach of the Year candidate

Defense improving at right time

Not too long ago, there were some fans calling for IU Coach Tom Crean’s job. Now, he might be Big Ten Coach of the Year.

Two months ago, IU was losing to Rutgers in the second half of its Big Ten opener. Now, Rutgers still doesn’t have a Big Ten win and IU has clinched a share of the Big Ten title.

If IU wins tonight at Iowa, it will win the Big Ten outright for the second time in four years, which hasn’t been done since IU won outright Big Ten titles in 1981 and 1983.

“We are proud to have won a share of the title but there is still so much more to play for,” senior guard Yogi Ferrell said. “Our focus and mindset doesn’t change. It’s get better every day.”

The team has done this without sophomore guard James Blackmon Jr., IU’s second leading scorer at the time of his knee injury.

A number of things have changed for the Hoosiers since Big Ten play started. The defense has improved, with the Hoosiers only allowing 67.7 points a game in conference play.

The Hoosiers are also scoring 77.8 points a game, which is higher than IU’s average in its last Big Ten title-winning season when they scored 74.6 a game.

Something else that has changed since Big Ten play has been the ball movement.

It seems IU either credits its success to ball movement or explains its offensive struggles by a lack of ball movement.

In IU’s 85-78 win against then-No. 4 Iowa earlier this season at Assembly Hall, the Hoosiers made use of good ball movement. This meant a balanced scoring attack, and all 10 Hoosiers who played scored. No one player scored more than 15 points.

The Hoosiers are coming into tonight’s game with the same approach.

“The trick is, everybody

The Hoosiers are one game away from winning the Big Ten title outright, and Thomas Bryant said he knows what they have to do to claim it.

“Defensive execution out there,” the freshman center said after the win against Illinois last week.

“We are a pretty good team.

On the defensive end, when we are getting stops like we did today and getting down there to get a bucket, we are a hard team to play against.”

Without sophomore guard Robert Johnson on the floor against the Illini, defense was the key focus for the Hoosiers.

Johnson, while not one of IU’s leading scorers, has been a constant on the defensive end this season. IU Coach Tom Crean has also recognized him for being IU’s best guard rebounder.

Those two things — defense and rebounding — were keys in the second half against Illinois.

They also helped IU knock off then-No. 4 Iowa a couple of weeks ago in Assembly Hall. Tonight, they’ll face the Hawkeyes again with the Big Ten regular season title on the line.

With Iowa’s loss to Ohio State on Sunday, IU earned at least a share of the conference title.

The Hoosiers kept the Illini to 47 points last Thursday and outrebounded them by 20.

Senior guard Nick Zeisloft, who started in place of Johnson, said he and his teammates had to raise their level of intensity. “(Johnson) is a tough pit bull out there,” Zeisloft said.

“We all had to bring that intensity on the defensive end, fighting the offensive end because that’s what he brings to the game every time he goes out there.”

Bryant said they made

knows what is at stake and nobody is really talking about it,” Crean said. “There is no difference in our level of work, it is as high as it has been. It’s not higher and it’s not lower. Our sense of urgency has been really high.”

The Iowa win also provided the Hoosiers with validation. Before that game, they didn’t have a win against a ranked opponent and had yet to play the Big Ten’s elite.

Now, the Hoosiers are one

win away from an outright Big Ten championship.

But there are still lingering doubts about the Hoosiers’ NCAA tournament resume.

Despite a 23-6 record, most projections have the Hoosiers as a No. 5 seed.

This is because bracket projectionists say the Hoosiers lack a quality road win.

IU is undefeated at home, but NCAA Tournament games aren’t played in Assembly Hall. IU is 2-3 in neutral site

games, but those also took place before IU’s transformation in conference play.

A win tonight could give the Hoosiers that validation.

A win could prove the team is on the next level, much like IU’s last win against Iowa.

“I wasn’t on the championship team in 2013, so I’m excited to be part of one this year,” junior forward Collin Hartman said. “We are building something special together.”

NO. 12 IU (23-6, 13-3) at No. 16 Iowa (20-8, 11-4) 9 p.m. Iowa City, Iowa defensive adjustments at halftime, which led to a dominant second half.

“Our defensive intensity was different, way better than the first half,” he said.

“We executed at the offensive end too, so that really picked it up with us. When our defense is good like that, our offense flows.”

The IU defense has shown obvious improvement from this time last season to now.

On several occasions this season, it’s been the difference in games.

One of those was the first half the Hoosiers played against the Hawkeyes on Feb. 11.

The Hoosiers led by as many as 16 in the first half, they outrebounded the Big Ten’s best rebounding team 39-35, and their defense held Iowa’s bench scoreless.

But that was in Assembly Hall, where the Hoosiers have been unbeatable this season. They’re a perfect 18-0 at home.

Not only will they have to play a top-25 team on the road, but Iowa is a team that has been upset in its last three games, most recently by Ohio State, and also by Wisconsin and Penn State, two unranked opponents.

When Iowa came to Bloomington, IU earned its most impressive win of the season. But the Hoosiers have yet to get a signature conference win on the road.

Crean said he knows it won’t be easy to repeat.

“We won the game, but we made too many mistakes here,” Crean said.

“We had too many errors defensively. We should have switched this and we shouldn’t have switched that and we have to be better at those things.”

HEAR ME OUT

COLUMN: Crean earns 2nd Big Ten title after difficult two years in between The most fascinating part of these two Big Ten titles are how far apart they feel.

When people years from now look back to the record books, they will see two conference titles in a four-year span and likely think it was a run of dominance for IU men’s basketball. Historically, it might go down that way.

But it doesn’t feel that way.

The events since the 2013 Big Ten championship have caused enough strain to fill 10 years, let alone the two or three years between Big Ten titles. As the stars of the 2013 team moved on, frustration

and pain followed.

The 2013-14 team came with the enthusiasm of the prior year of success but carried the burden of the previous season. So the masses were as disappointed as ever when the team underachieved and missed the postseason altogether.

This set the tone for how dire the strain became after off-the-court issues surfaced.

Through a year and a half, players had run-ins with the law and trips to the hospital.

Things were bad. We’ve all heard of the “Tom Crean sucks” chant at his son’s

basketball game.

Yet the only major consistencies between the 2013 Big Ten title and now are Crean and senior guard Yogi Ferrell.

The players that seemed to be bad seeds or troublemakers are gone.

Crean is still in control of the program and has brought it through the gauntlet.

Crean receives plenty of deserved credit for bringing IU back from the Kelvin Sampson sanctions when he took over. But I’ve heard that song before. Now, it’s time to give him some respect for bringing the program back

from his own rough period.

Crean’s first few years were a product of somebody else’s mistakes. One can play the martyr through that period.

The past two years were filled with players getting into trouble under Crean’s watch.

There was an abundance of transfers and some confusing roster management. These could be seen as Crean’s rough periods.

And, to me, coming through that is even more impressive than the revival from 2008.

This team was trailing Notre Dame by 16 in

December. It wasn’t looking great for Crean in Bloomington. Then, he lost star sophomore shooting guard James Blackmon Jr. And things got even harder.

Now, IU has earned at least a share of its second Big Ten title in four years. This coaching job has been the most impressive I have seen since he’s come to IU and maybe the best in the Big Ten this season.

Yet Crean and players haven’t been available to the media for a single Big Ten road game this season. Access for road games has been diminished to quotes provided

through email. Things are going well, so why not speak to the media during these times?

There are still frustrations, and backseat coaches will always second-guess plenty of Crean’s decisions.

Regardless, I am willing to say Crean deserves to be the frontrunner for Big Ten Coach of the Year. brodmill@indiana.edu

IU jumps in both AP and Coaches Poll From IDS reports

IU moved up six spots to No. 12 in this week’s AP Top 25, while also jumping four spots in the USA Today Coaches Poll to No. 11.

This is the highest the Hoosiers have been ranked in both polls this season. The Hoosiers had just one game last week, a dominant 74-47

win against Illinois.

The Hoosiers were guaranteed a share of the Big Ten regular season title after Iowa lost to Ohio State on Sunday. They can win the title outright by beating No. 16 Iowa on Tuesday night or by winning against No. 14 Maryland next Sunday in their final game of the season.

IU is now the secondhighest-ranked of five Big Ten teams in both the AP and Coaches Poll this week.

Other Big Ten teams in the Top 25 include No. 2 Michigan State, which IU lost to earlier this season in East Lansing, Michigan, and No. 15 Purdue.

Ferrell wins second Big Ten award of season From IDS reports

IU senior guard Yogi Ferrell was named Big Ten Player of the Week for the second time this season.

The honor comes after IU beat Illinois 74-47 last Thursday in Champaign, Illinois.

Ferrell finished 11-of-18 for 27 points. He added five assists and shot 50 percent from 3-point range.

With 17 points per game,

the senior guard has led the Hoosiers to the top of the Big Ten. IU earned at least a share of the conference title after Iowa lost to Ohio State on Sunday.

Ferrell said earlier in the season their goal is to win the title outright, and he reiterated that after the Illinois game last week.

“We always say all the time that we control our own destiny and I know these guys

are everyday guys,” he said.

“We are going to take it one day at a time, prepare how Yogi Ferrell we need to prepare, get some treatment, watch some film, put up extra shots because it’s coming down to the last few games.”

Potter said he hasn’t discussed the current election much with his grandparents because if you disagree with them, they don’t like it. As far as the other Republican candidates go, he said he doesn’t necessarily dislike them but he’s not sure he can’t trust them.

He agrees with several of Trump’s policies, especially his policy on immigration, he said. But Trump’s honesty is the biggest selling point to Potter.

“I like Trump in the fact that he’s saying things that stir the pot, things that other conservatives have been wanting

to say for a while,” she said.

However, Rubio is still the better choice, she argued, because she wants someone with a political background and Trump can “tend to be a little inconsiderate with his word choice.”

As the election continues, Renfro said she will continue to be an active supporter of Rubio. For her, credibility and compassion are the most important traits in a candidate.
