Connecting the dots Braille transcriber helps meet students’ media, educational needs

A

red mug full of mint tea sits to the right of two computer monitors on Chris Goodbeer’s desk.

On the left screen, curving lines and numbers from a scan of a calculus textbook are pulled up, while on the right screen, Goodbeer recreates the image with Braille.

Goodbeer is a literature and music transcriber in the UITS Assistive Technology and Accessibility Center office. He transcribes textbooks and music scores into Braille for visually impaired students.

“It’s nice to feel like I’m making a difference for people, leveling the playing field,” he said.

Students of varying degrees of disability contact the ATAC through the Disability Service for Students, Goodbeer said. The ATAC then assesses their needs and works with them to provide technology. These technologies may include special keyboards for people with physical injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome or programs that read text aloud for students with dyslexia.

“Our job is taking mostly instructional materials and converting them into a format that works better for clients,” manager Brian Richwine said.

Goodbeer grew up with a passion for music and earned his bachelor’s degree in vocal performance from the University of Montevallo in 1988 in Alabama. He then earned his master’s degrees in vocal performance and early music voice from James Madison University in 2003 and IU in 2010, respectively. In 2011, he also earned his master’s degree in library science from IU. Before Goodbeer joined the ATAC team, the office worked with someone outside the University to transcribe sheet music into Braille for a music student. However, this became costly, and it was difficult for the transcriber to communicate and understand the student’s needs, Richwine said.

The office began to look for someone in house who would be able to transcribe the sheet music.

“Chris Goodbeer answered the call,” said Mary Stores, senior alternate media specialist.

Goodbeer reports to both Stores and Richwine with progress reports and updates on his workload. When he is not transcribing music, Goodbeer helps out with other projects, including transcribing calculus textbooks and creating tactile graphics.

Stores sits next to Goodbeer in the ATAC office in the West Tower of Wells Library.

For the second time in this eight-game-old season, IU was held without a hit when a runner was on base.

For the second time, it cost the Hoosiers.

IU, 3-4-1, was just about invisible whenever opportunities presented themselves and went 0-15 with runners on base and 0-6 with runners in scoring position in its 6-1 loss Wednesday evening at the hands of the Cincinnati Bearcats.

However, Cincinnati, now 3-4, was 6-17 with runners on base and 4-12 with runners in scoring position.

The Hoosiers were out-hit 8-3 by the home team, which took the lead in the bottom of the third and never turned it over.

Even the lone IU run came without the Hoosiers recording a single hit in the top of the third inning.

Junior center fielder Laren Eustace led off the inning by reaching on an error by Bearcats’ second baseman Kyle Mottice after Eustace laid down a bunt.

Then, after a lineout from sophomore third baseman Luke Miller, senior left fielder Craig Dedelow got hit by a pitch, which allowed Eustace to advance to second.

Dedelow and Eustace both advanced 90 feet on a wild pitch, which gave the Hoosiers runners on second and third with just one out.

Junior right fielder Logan Sowers grounded out to the shortstop and drove in Eustace, but Dedelow was held at second base.

Sophomore catcher Ryan Fineman then lined out to second to end IU’s threat.

Another scoring opportunity presented itself for IU in the top of the eighth inning when Eustace led off with a walk, and Miller followed by getting hit by a pitch to give the team runners on first and second with no outs.

Dedelow spoke Tuesday about the middle of the lineup still not

Local representative gives tips INprov comedy on how to talk to legislators competition will take place Thursday night

By Alexa Chryssovergis

aachryss@indiana.edu | @achryssovergis

Legislators have a name for when people try to mimic grassroots campaigns, state Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington, said.

Pierce calls it AstroTurf “because it’s fake grass.”

AstroTurf campaigns were one topic of discussion at a Wednesday night meeting, led by Pierce at Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington. About 100 community members met to listen to Pierce give tips from the perspective of a legislator on how best and most efficiently to grab a lawmaker’s attention in order to enact change.

“Astroturfing” is technically defined in political science as trying to make it appear that extensive, grassroots support for a certain policy exists when in reality it does not.

Among Pierce’s tips was a suggestion to be original with emails or calls to legislators rather than just copying a template email from a grassroots website.

“When legislators can see this kind of spontaneous ground swell, it freaks us out,” Pierce said.

It’s effective when citizens legitimately get fired up and involved in changing something they don’t like about the way their government is working, Pierce said.

As an example, he mentioned the brief period of time when it appeared the United States House Republicans were going to eliminate an independent ethics committee. The weekend after that was announced, congressmen received complaints that were authentic and that came from the individual

Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington, led a community discussion Wednesday night about how constituents can best talk to their legislators. About 100 people were at Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington to listen to and discuss with Pierce.

outrage of each constituent, Pierce said. The spontaneity of that outpouring scared lawmakers so much that within a few days they decided against removing it, he said.

“I think people were just naturally outraged, and between Friday and Monday, they just hammered Congress,” Pierce said. “No one was telling them to do it.”

Pierce compared this type of outpouring to the kind of formulaic emails that would come from simply clicking a button on an advocacy group’s webpage.

Pierce said sometimes he’ll receive 10 emails in a row that clearly came from a constituent who had just discovered a grassroots campaign website containing issues pertinent to them. They’d probably clicked on an “email your legislator” button for a bunch of issues in

a row, and then in Pierce’s inbox, there’d be 10 very similar emails.

“That’s not a bad thing,” Pierce said. “Even though you can tell it’s a form email, it still kind of counts.”

However, bombarding is not always the best strategy, the Bloomington legislator said.

Pierce also advised community members to first and foremost make sure they reach out to the legislator that represents their district.

Lawmakers will listen primarily to their own constituents, Pierce said.

He advised people to network, get on social media, figure out how to connect with others around the state. Convert people to your cause, Pierce said. Search for grassroots groups that interest you.

IU’s sketch and improv comedy groups will test their skills during INprov, an annual comedy competition, at 9 p.m. Thursday in the Indiana Memorial Union Stateroom East.

INprov challenges University comedians to complete about 20 minutes of improv with a completely new team of other troupes’ members picked that night by drawing names from a hat.

“The surprise will be fun, and that’s what improv is all about,” freshman Natalie Kaufmann said.

“It’s not knowing what you’re doing, but making people think you do.”

The event is a promotion for Funny 500, a comedy festival that runs March 31 and April 1 and will feature groups from other universities.

The cost of admission is a nonperishable food item or hygiene product for the Crimson Cupboard.

Sketch and improv groups including the University tWits, Awkward Silence Comedy, Backdoor Comedy, Midnight Snack Comedy, HoosOnFirst, Ladies’ Night and Full Frontal Comedy will perform.

Kaufmann joined FFC last semester, and this will be her first time performing improv without her team to back her up, she said. The INprov experience will also be new to five other FFC members, so she won’t face the uncertainty alone.

Although senior Lilah Taber is

an INprov organizer, she usually works with prepared material as a member of sketch comedy group the University tWits.

Because of the planning required for sketch writing, improv uses a different skill set from sketch, she said. The University tWits’ shows are only once a month, while many improv groups on campus perform as often as every weekend.

“You’re funny in the moment instead of in advance,” Taber said.

When Taber originally tried to join the comedy community her freshman year, she reached out on Reddit for improv groups around IU, she said. At the time, that was the image of college comedy she had in her head, and she didn’t know there were sketch groups on campus.

Health fair links students and professionals Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu | @knickele5

Students entered a room full of chattering and laughing people. Balloons hovered above the many different tables of medical and health profession schools.

This year marked the 15th annual IU Health Programs Fair, which took place at Alumni Hall in the Indiana Memorial Union. The program welcomed a variety of medical schools and health professionals who looked to answer questions and recruit students for graduate school.

Rachel Tolen, the assistant director and premedical adviser called it a chance to connect people from all over.

“It’s just the opportunity to bring IU students together with so many schools across the country,” Tolen said.

The event organizers divided the event into seperate areas on Wednesday.

Alumni Hall allowed students to speak with different institutional representatives. Downstairs in the Frangipani Room featured student organizations with additional information on ways to get involved on campus and in the community.

Groups like IU’s Health NOW organization get students involved in obesity prevention programs and

mental health positivity trainings.

Groups like the Student Osteopathic Medical Association offered pamphlets for pre-med students looking for help with MCAT preparation. They clad their table with an assortment of different colored pens shaped like needles.

This year was sophomore Michael Lam’s first time coming to the health programs fair. Lam said the tables and representatives made for an informative experience.

“I thought it was very interesting because you get to see other schools and maybe see what they offer and how they differ from other schools and what they look for in students,” Lam said.

“All that was interesting in helping me prepare for med school.”

While a significant number of tables represented schools around the Midwest, a few offered international opportunities for education, as well. Jennifer Stovall, an administrator at the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, said their program is different in how it incorporates learning in both the states and abroad.

“The school is actually broken up,” Stovall said.

“The first two years are in Sint Maarten in the Caribbean, where the students master the basic medical

sciences, and then they come right back to the United States to do their core and elective rotations.”

While the school offers different areas of study, Stovall said some peak areas of interest include internal medicine, general surgery and pediatrics.

Stovall, senior associate

director of admissions, said she has been coming to the health programs fair on behalf of her university for the last few years.

“We have a lot of students who’ve actually come from IU, and they’re great students,” Stovall said.

Six-ticket campaign breeds issues

By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjo

With an unprecedented six tickets running in this year’s IU Student Association election, candidates are tasked with distinguishing their platforms from those of their five opponents.

So far four campaigns have launched websites outlining their policy goals and profiling their four executive candidates. The Psych Up campaign has released their executive candidates while one ticket, Refund Supreme, has announced only a presidential candidate.

Focus for IUSA The Focus ticket is led by junior Brandon Sakbun, the current adviser to the vice president of Congress. Sakbun said his passion for civic duty and the potential for greatness he saw in student government is part of what prompted him to get involved in the IUSA election.

An issue Sakbun said he observed in past IUSA congresses was a focus on decorum and formality instead of the quality of debate. He said he admires the current administration, but he’s also the type of person who wants to continue raising the bar and improving student government.

“I don’t believe in saying ‘all Congress members will wear business casual at bare minimum,’” Sakbun said.

“That’s not what I’m focused on. What I’m focused on is the quality of the debate and what issues they’re talking about.”

Still, Sakbun said he understands professionalism and standards because he is a member of the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program. He also interned in both legislative and executive branch offices in Washington, D.C., last semester. He said the experience reinforced his desire to give back to his community.

“I’m 100 percent prepared to walk in the room and say, ‘this is what the students want,’” Sakbun said.

Another goal Sakbun said he hopes to accomplish is raising awareness of student government by reassessing how IUSA markets itself. Focus’ plan is to have a monthly town hall in collaboration with student groups and cultural centers, which would open conversations to people who might not feel a part of student government decision-making.

“My plan is if 10-percent of the student body population knows about IUSA, I want 20 percent to know by the end of fall semester and 40 percent to

Engage with IUSA The Engage ticket is led by junior Michelle Long, who said she has assisted with policy planning and communication between IUSA, faculty and administrators in the past and been involved with student orientation and other programs that help foster IU’s “Culture of Care.”

“First and foremost our campaign is focused on something that’s a lot bigger than IUSA itself,” Long said.

“We’re really trying to spark more campus engagement and help students grow into their own autonomy.”

Long said the campaign is committed to meeting with all members of the campus community with a priority on engaging students who may feel left behind or disenfranchised from IUSA. Of the many policies on Engage’s website, Long said their diversity and inclusion plans are the most pressing, given the current political climate, though she admitted it was hard to say they prioritized this over other important platform issues.

“Everything that I’ve done on campus is to make sure Hoosiers feel more comfortable and safe,” Long said.

larger, five-year plan. Ideas that fit into the latter category include some environmental sustainability and mental health initiatives.

Empower IU is the biggest campaign team Niersbach has seen since coming to IU, he said. The ticket has candidates for 54 of the 62 congressional seats and staff members working on each policy area.

Sophomore Olivia Malone Empower IU’s chief of staff, said the amount of research she has seen put into crafting policy distinguishes the campaign from others. In addition to extensive research on policy, Malone said the campaign has and will continue to reach out to student groups to cosponsor specific policies that may affect them. Malone also said Empower IU has a goal of increasing the level of collaboration between the executive and legislative branches of IUSA. “We’re not just focusing on the ticket, we’re focusing on everyone as a really important part of what we’re doing,” Malone said. “And I think that’s what student government should be doing more of: emphasizing the fact that we’re not just four people, that we’re more than that, and that’s what makes us strong.”

Empower IU Dan Niersbach, a junior, is the presidential candidate for the Empower IU ticket, though he said the campaign is more focused on proposed policy than it is on individual candidates. Niersbach said he wants to give marginalized students more input in campus affairs and bring a new level of professionalism to IUSA. “We strongly believe the organization should exist on campus for the students on campus not ourselves,” Niersbach said.

Empower IU’s mission is divided into three pillars: a sense of continuity and longevity planning, the fostering of a positive professional culture and the creation of avenues for students to have their voice amplified by the student government. Each of Empower IU’s six platform departments have been split up into specific policies, which Niersbach said may sound ambitious but hopes will also be effective.

Niersbach said the goal of longevity planning is for policy to keep its momentum with future administrations. Some plans are targeted toward helping certain marginalized groups succeed and have a voice on campus, what he called pointed policy, while other initiatives are part of a

IGNITE for IUSA IGNITE for IUSA’s ticket is led by sophomore Will McKinney, who said he wanted IUSA students to look forward to the vision his ticket would provide. Like other campaigns, McKinney said he wants to open up the discussion to students who aren’t directly involved with student government.

“It’s kind of like a group project where one or two of the people in the group do all the work, and the rest are all along for the ride,” McKinney said. “I want it to be more collaborative.”

McKinney said IGNITE’s platform is split into three divisions of policy creation: traditional, which is what most students would expect of normal legislative processes; collaborative, where the discussion is opened to other students outside of student government; and a final strategy, distinct to IGNITE’s campaign.

“Then we have something called gladiator, which I think is really cool,” McKinney said.

“Our campaign is willing to go where other campaigns aren’t. When we have an idea, and we want it, and we know students want it, we’re not going to stop.”

This gladiator strategy would entail pushing campus administrators until the

know by the end of next year,” Sakbun said.

answer on a question is a definite “yes” or “no.”

McKinney said a lot of great ideas have originated in IUSA’s executive branch, he said, but they need to be followed up by actions, a task better accomplished when power is shared with other branches of the student government and the student body as a whole.

Psych Up The cornerstone of Psych Up’s platform is focusing the IUSA budget on programs that benefit the community and are not wasteful in nature.

“It’s about refunding the money back to programs that actually benefit the students, not just the IUSA,” said Kyle Yohler, Psych Up’s treasurer candidate.

Yohler said the current IUSA administration’s use of funding for luncheons, executive scholarships and guest speakers was a mismanagement of student fees, which could be redirected to initiatives which do not only benefit members of student government. Psych Up plans to keep some of the current budget items, like sexual and mental health initiatives that benefit the student body as a whole, Yohler said.

He said along with funding for Counseling and Psychological Services and mental health awareness initiatives, Psych Up plans to keep funding for programs like sexual health awareness and IUSA’s freshman internship program.

The campaign is candidate-run, Yohler said, and they plan on relying on word of mouth rather than social media and web-based methods of promoting their ticket.

Refund Supreme Refund Supreme has not announced the rest of its executive slate beyond presidential candidate Sarah Yde. Campaign manager Samuel Patterson, a junior, said their campaign is libertarian-leaning and wants to reduce government waste.

“Our main platform is to refund the student fee by cutting inappropriate spending,” he later said in an email.

Patterson said Refund Supreme wants to keep budget items such as culture of care initiatives, flowers for the families of deceased students and programs focused on drug and alcohol education. They would like to eliminate the flow of student fees to events like luncheons and other expenditures that only benefit members of IUSA.

wonderful advising through Ms. Tolen, so we really enjoy having your students come to our school. They’re prepared and ready for medical school.”

While the fair allowed students to network and make connections with different institutions, it also gave them the opportunity

to search within the medical field for specializations they might not have previously considered. Lam said the fair sparked his interest, especially with the potential international opportunities, like Stovall’s university.

“I thought that was really interesting, and that caught my attention,” Lam said.

New Yorker writer talks connections

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

It’s important to foster connections between cultures and countries, Jiayang Fan, a staff writer for the New Yorker told a crowd in the Global and International Studies auditorium.

Fan spoke Wednesday night as one of the weekly speakers of China Remixed, a series spanning 10-weeks full of exhibits, performances, and lectures.

“It is futile to pit one culture against the other or somehow tether my loyalty to one or the other,” Fan said.

Fan was born in Chongqing, China, and moved to the United States when she was 8 years old.

Now, she sees the importance of not allowing cultures and identities to struggle against one another; instead, unifying them is crucial.

As a child, she said she struggled for years to come to terms with her conflicting Chinese and American identities, especially when it came to language.

“English seemed to me a crude instrument that I had gained to survive, but Chinese would be how I would express myself,” she said.

A Chinese student in the audience connected with what Fan said and explained to Fan that her diary, previously written all in Chinese, was starting to incorporate some English words and phrases.

“That’s just kind of the natural experience of being immersed in another culture and language,” she said.

Fan related the idea of conflicting cultures and the way that others perceive one another to the global scale.

She said the current political climate, including Trump

attacking China on subjects like trade, has brought a lot of the differences to the forefront and alienated a lot of people, including Americans.

“In many ways, it has altered our perception of the country we live in and manifested the divisions we were happy to overlook,” she said.

She said it’s important to see the world as a place beyond physical boundaries and to understand there is a lot people don’t know about other cultures, particularly China.

Professor Emily Metzgar voiced a similar opinion and said as China becomes more influential in areas like their culture and military, it’s important for American citizens to learn about the country and its culture.

“Ideally, then we find common ground,” she said.

Metzgar teaches a course in the Media School about media and culture in China, X-478 Field Experience in Media, where students learn about Chinese culture and visit the country over spring break. She said making connections, especially with the growing number of Chinese students on campus, is important on both a local and national scale.

Noah Sandweiss, a junior studying history, attended the event for both extra credit and the opportunity to learn more about Asian culture.

With an interest in East Asian history, Sandweiss said it was important for events like these to help dispel common misconceptions regarding China and Asia.

“It’s great because a lot of academia becomes a bit of an echo chamber,” he said.

“But with events like these reaching out to the whole of the community can help educate a broader group of people.”

‘Ashes to ashes’ Bloomington parishes observe Ash Wednesday, beginning of Lent

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfern

Christians gathered at parishes around Bloomington on Wednesday to observe Ash Wednesday. The day marks the beginning of Lent, the 40 days leading up to Easter.

While Catholics predominantly observe Ash Wednesday, other denominations of Christianity participate as well.

On Ash Wednesday, Christians are often encouraged by their church to fast and pray. Many parishioners also attend religious services and receive ashes made from blessed palm branches on their foreheads.

ST. PAUL CATHOLIC CENTER A priest traced a cross onto a man’s forehead with ashes and muttered, “remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

The man bowed, and the line of parishioners moved forward down the aisle. Around them, attendees sang the song “Ashes” by Tom Conry to piano accompaniment.

“We rise again from ashes to create ourselves anew,” parishioners sang.

Mary Bolander , parishioner and IU sophomore, said the ashes and the idea of returning to dust remind Catholics that life is temporary and the afterlife is what is really important.

Bolander said by receiving the ashes and focusing on penance during Lent, Catholics also undergo a cleansing process.

“We cleanse ourselves of our grudges and sins and anything that may keep us from really growing closer to God,” she said.

As the song continued, parishioners sang, “We offer you our failures. We offer you attempts.”

Bolander said these words signify a common desire among Catholics to better themselves during Lent, but Bolander has her own idea of how she wants to improve herself.

“I want to sin less,” she said.

“But I also want to be more open and receiving to what God wants for me. I want to listen.”

During the homily, the priest said he encouraged Catholics to reflect and realize things about their lives they should change in the name of God. “If not now, when?” he said to parishioners. “When will we change our ways?”

For parishioner Mary Gregory, that time is now.

She said Ash Wednesday is the perfect time for self-reflection before Catholics go out and make life changes during Lent.

“It’s a time of thanksgiving and preparation for Lent and then for Easter,” Gregory said. “We fast and pray as penance so that we can be better.”

When the sun rose and light began to filter through the stained glass, Mass was already wrapping up.

“Go in peace to love and serve the Lord,” the priest said to the congregation.

“Thanks be to God,” they said in response.

TRINITY EPISCOPAL CHURCH A man walked into Trinity Epis-

copal Church and left with ashes on his forehead five minutes later.

In front of the church, a sign reads “Ashes On the Go.” Inside, Rev. Charles Dupree stood in the center aisle waiting for people to drop by.

While he respects the tradition of attending Ash Wednesday Mass and offers such services, Dupree said the concept of requiring it is outdated. He also said Christians are not always able to attend services on Wednesdays.

As a result, there is a movement within the Episcopal Church to allow parishioners to receive ashes without sitting through Mass, he added.

“We can’t always expect people to come to us,” he said. “It’s about meeting people where they are.”

This movement also reflects religious teaching, Dupree said.

“It’s the idea of finding Jesus in the streets, on the sidewalks and on the sidelines,” he said before pausing to place ashes on a passerby’s forehead.

Despite this change in tradition, Dupree said the core of Ash Wednesday is still the same. It is still a day of reflection, penance and sacrifice.

“It is a time for us to put our trust in God and put our faith in the future and what we’re capable of becoming,” he said.

Throughout history, Dupree said people have worn ashes to signify grief. Now, wearing ashes on Ash Wednesday allows believers to grieve for their own sins.

He said applying the ashes also reminds him people’s lives are temporary and he only has a certain amount of time to do God’s work on Earth.

The ashes are an equalizer, Dupree said.

“I am no better than you, and you are no better than me because we are all made up of the same stuff and will return to the same stuff,” he said.

Above all, Dupree said Ash Wednesday and Lent in general offer Christians a reset button.

“We fall short of being our best selves, Dupree said. “This is the opportunity to turn around and to do things differently.”

ST. CHARLES BORROMEO CATHOLIC CHURCH Parishioners piled into St. Charles Borromeo Church, spilling out into the standing room.

Each one lined up to receive the ashes and be blessed by the

“We cleanse ourselves of our grudges and sins and anything that may keep us from really growing closer to God” Mary Bolander, parishioner and IU sophomore

words, “Repent and believe in the Gospel.”

Parishioner Kathryn Brinser said the concept of repentance is central to Catholics during the Lenten season.

“It’s about bettering yourself and being closer to God,” Brinser said.

To Brinser, bettering herself involves spending less money on material things so that she can put her faith first.

Parishioner Steve Brinser said he hoped to better himself by limiting his TV, computer and cell phone use.

“I want to make more quiet time for myself to focus on my relationship with God,” he said.

Ash Wednesday and Lent in general is also a time to reflect, parishioner Mary Dedek said.

Through reflection and self-sacrifice, Dedek said Catholics can reach their ultimate goal of drawing closer to God. “It’s a great time to be continually thinking about God and what he has done for us,” Dedek said.

Father Richard Dyer said a main component of Ash Wednesday is fasting for Catholics between ages 18 and 59.

He said this fasting usually continues on Fridays for 40 days until Good Friday, which is the day Catholics commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus.

Fasting is powerful in its ability to bring people closer to God, Dyer said.

“By fasting, we don’t let anything in this world be above our faith,” Dyer said. “It puts our love for God above all else.”

As Mass came to an end, parishioners bowed their heads for a blessing.

Then one by one, parishioners knelt, did the sign of the cross and left the church with ashes on their foreheads, each one ready for the coming of Lent.

“Ash Wednesday makes sure we are ready for this time of selfsacrifice,” Dedek said. “It makes sure we are ready to put God first and become closer to him.”

A suspicious-smelling mail package led to the arrest of two people Tuesday on marijuana and cocaine charges.

Larry Gibbons, 34, is charged with dealing in cocaine, dealing in marijuana and maintaining a common nuisance. The cocaine charge is a high-level felony that could carry 10 to 30 years in prison. Eureka Gordon, 27, is charged with maintaining a common nuisance and possession of marijuana.

Bloomington police were contacted Tuesday afternoon by United States postal inspectors, who intercepted a package containing marijuana and wanted the Bloomington Police Department’s assistance in making a controlled delivery, BPD Sgt. Dana Cole said. The package had been stopped after an employee noted it smelled like marijuana.

Officers went on the delivery to the couple’s residence on the 2500 block of South Rockport Road.

When the package was delivered, a detective made contact with Gibbons, the homeowner, who gave consent for the detective to open the package. In the package, the detective found vacuum-sealed bags of marijuana. From the door, he could see a metal grinder and a rubberbanded stack of currency on the living room table, as well as a digital scale and a vacuum-sealer in the kitchen.

The detective asked Gibbons if he could search the residence. Gibbons declined. BPD secured the area and obtained a search warrant.

During the search, police found several bags in dresser drawers that contained smaller individual bags of a powder-like substance, later determined to be cocaine. They also found several glass jars and vacuum-sealed bags of marijuana, three handguns belonging to Gibbons and, on the coffee table, $3,700 in cash.

The police report did not give total weights of the drugs found, Cole said, but the charges indicate police found at least 10 grams of cocaine and 30 grams of marijuana.

Gibbons returned with police to BPD headquarters, where he admitted the marijuana was his, except for what was in the glass jars, which he said belonged to Gordon. He told police he used to sell marijuana, but that the cocaine was for his personal use.

He was arrested on a dealing charge based on how the cocaine was packaged.

Gordon told police she had previously found the cocaine in the apartment and told Gibbons to get rid of it. She admitted to knowing Gibbons dealt marijuana but said the dealing had always been done outside the apartment, not from it.

Both were arrested and taken to Monroe County Correctional Center.

Delphi reward up to $200,000 From IDS reports

The reward for information leading to an arrest in the murders of two Carroll County teenagers has increased to more than $200,000 after a large donation by Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay and former punter Pat McAfee.

McAfee, a fan favorite who retired in February to join sports blog Barstool Sports as head of its new Indianapolis operation, announced the $97,000 donation Wednesday via video on his Twitter page.

In the video, McAfee appears with Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter to request information in the killings of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14.

The girls’ bodies were found Feb. 14 in a wooded area near Delphi, Indiana,

a day after they went missing. In February, police released a photo and audio recording of a suspect, both of which were taken on German’s phone.

In Wednesday’s video, Carter notes the investigation has received more than 9,000 tips and includes 25 law enforcement agencies.

“This could be a nationwide search,” McAfee says in the video. His Twitter account has nearly 770,000 followers, and as of early Wednesday afternoon, the video had received more than 3,200 retweets.

According to a tweet from ISP Sgt. Tony Slocum late Wednesday morning, donations from local businesses and individuals have pushed the reward to a total of $211,000.

OPINION

Thursday, Mar. 2, 2017 idsnews.com

THOUGHTS FOR THURSDAY

Editors Dylan Moore and Zack Chambers opinion@idsnews.com

EDITORIAL BOARD

Trump’s latest is the best he has done yet On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump addressed a joint session of Congress for the first time.

While I have been quick to criticize the president in previous columns, this speech should be hailed as a tremendous success for the fledgling commander-inchief.

The president opened his address with a reference to Black History Month and condemned the rise in antiSemitism that has been seen across the country in recent days. Most recently, this ugly trend has manifested itself through the over 100 bomb threats at Jewish centers.

He even went so far as to say that there was still much more that needed to be done on civil rights. This opening was incredibly important, especially since the president has struggled to get support from minority communities and has had a record of troubling statements about Mexican and Muslim Americans.

The words of our president matter not only when they are negative but also when they are positive.

These unifying statements helped to bind the wounds of a nation still divided in the wake of one of the most polarizing presidential elections in a generation.

The president also articulated his policy agenda for the next four years in the speech and, to his credit, appears determined to deliver on the promises he made to the American people during the campaign. Some of these promises, such as increased barriers to trade and additional infrastructure spending, break from Republican orthodoxy. Democrats will without doubt find much of the president’s agenda unsavory as well.

These important policy decisions will undoubtedly be debated in the halls of Congress, and both sides will need to make compromises in order to conduct the business of the nation before the midterm elections next year, but for the first time since

JUSTIN SEXTON is a sophomore in economics.

Jan. 20, the president was able to give some direction on where his administration would like to go on issues ranging from health care to defense spending.

The president further unified the country by paying tribute to a recently killed American hero, Navy SEAL Ryan Owens.

His widow, Carryn Owens, was present in the gallery and was honored with thunderous ovations from nearly everyone in the chamber while she fought back tears.

This is something that regardless of how we voted in November, should move us all. However, there were some sitting on the Democratic benches, such as former Democratic National Committee chair, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, DFlorida, and the recently appointed vice chair of the DNC, Rep. Keith Ellison, DMinnesota, who refused to pay tribute to the widow of our fallen hero.

This act of putting partisanship above patriotism falls beneath the dignity of the American political system. All of our gold-star families deserve our respect and eternal gratitude regardless of which president sent them into harm’s way. The Democratic party must accept Trump is and will continue to be our president for at least another three years and eleven months.

To solve the incredible challenges we face as a nation, we need to cool the tensions which are still felt after the elections of last year. While some Democratic members of Congress still refuse to set their shock and disappointment at the results aside, for the first time Tuesday, our president seemed willing to do so.

If this trend continues for the duration of his term, I have no reason to think he will not be re-elected in 2020. jusexton@umail.iu.edu

Time to end private prisons Companies should not make a profit incarcerating people for-profit prisons.

As a first step, the Obama administration planned to scale down a pending contract from a soliciting corporation from housing 10,800 prisoners to only 3,600. This first step was part of a bigger objective to ultimately shrink population of private prisoners to below 14,200, a number that stands in stark contrast to the 30,000 inmates incarcerated in private prisons in 2013. President Trump’s canceling of this plan came as no real surprise. The day after Donald Trump’s election victory, the stocks of the two largest prison companies skyrocketed.

The Corrections Corporation of America’s stock traded at 34 percent higher at 10:14 a.m. the day after the election, and GEO Group Inc., another private prison, saw a boost of 18 percent at the

On Feb. 23, the Department of Justice released a memo announcing it will continue using privately run prisons. This means that thousands of federal inmates will remain in prisons that operate for a profit.

This decision reverses a policy lauded by supporters of prisoner rights that former President Barack Obama implemented during his presidency. This decision is a step back for the United States and prisoner rights. The very model of private prison systems depends on high incarceration rates. Because of this, for-profit prisons ride on the back of unfair laws such as sentencing jail time to nonviolent drug offenders.

While private prisons likely could not be removed from the justice system in one fell swoop, Obama had plans to phase out these

same time. The idea that private corporations can earn more money based on the percentage of American citizens behind bars is inherently wrong, and flawed.

Furthermore, private prisons also tend to have worse conditions, display higher rates of violence and employ inexperienced guards. An investigative reporter speaking to NPR reported that many of the prisons were overcrowded, understaffed and underwent unnecessary prisoner deaths. We, the Editorial Board, think the U.S. needs to shift away from the use of private prisons.

Additionally, this country needs a larger reform to the prison system in general.

A reform to end the current state of prison labor.

Federal Prison Industries — a government-run enterprise — employs tens

of thousands of prisoners to manufacture goods for federal agencies. These prisoners only get paid 23 cents to $1.15 and even less inside private prisons. In some prisons labor is voluntary, but in others, it is forced and not participating will lead to punishments like solitary confinement. This exploitation of prisoners is unacceptable. While they are criminals, these prisoners are still human beings. Just like any other American, they should not be forced to work for the enrichment of someone else.

This issue of unfair prison labor represents a relatively unknown problem to the average American.

Private prisons have no place the U.S. justice system, and the exploitation of prisoners from our current prison labor system needs to come to an end immediately.

COLIN’S COLUMN

SELON MOI

Let’s end the alpha-beta distinction

‘Moonlight’s’ win is well deserved

Within some communities of men, theories have developed regarding “alpha” and “beta” males. In this system, it’s desirable to be alpha. You assert your dominance over other people, often by being rude or aggressive.

Undesirable is the status of beta, where you’re submissive, accommodating and harmonious. Aware of this, my group of friends decided to mock this binary, and we made a chart measuring just how alpha we were. Within 20 minutes of creating our chart, it become a constant presence on our minds. Anytime one of us would so much as say “please” to someone else, we would subtract points for being beta. Whenever one of us wanted something, we would just take it from each other. Because we were all friends in on a joke, it wasn’t harmful, but it did start to shape our actions. This made me realize that for those who

actually believe in these notions of alpha and beta it isn’t as friendly. This aggression and lack of niceties is pressed upon everyone in their lives.

This isn’t a healthy lifestyle for them or for those in their life. This is called toxic masculinity, and it’s a legitimate problem. A product of social expectations on men, toxic masculinity is a set of gender roles that’s completely unreasonable for us to conform to.

The result is this constant state of conflict and a focus on verbally, physically and sexually aggressive behaviors. This lends to little tolerance for anything that could diminish a state of masculinity.

But sometimes the consequences are more concrete than simply hateful slurs and ideologies. A perfect example is hazing. With fraternities holding such a centerpiece on IU’s campus culture, it’s important to acknowledge the role they have in

COLIN DOMBROWSKI is a junior in creative writing

perpetuating these ideas of masculinity. I think hazing is the notion of asserting dominance taken to the extreme, it affirms the members’ masculinity by demeaning the pledges. It literally creates alphas and betas in this world of greek letters. Delta Tau Delta at IU was suspended after hazing, which I believe relate to the alpha-beta masculinity issue.

But as individuals we need to notice instances where someone is spreading toxic masculinity, and admonish them. We just need to take steps to put an end to this sort of thinking. When masculinity becomes an obsession to the point where it negatively affects the way men view and treat others, that’s where it becomes a problem. ctdombro@umail.iu.edu

The 89th annual Academy Awards were surely memorable. After the mix up, the winner of the Best Picture award was the film “Moonlight,” directed by Barry Jenkins. The film focuses on the life and struggles of a gay black boy in the housing projects near Miami. The most likely contender besides “Moonlight” for Best Picture was “La La Land”. While they are both undoubtedly excellent films, “La La Land” winning Best Picture would have been far less important.

“La La Land” focuses on a white, heterosexual couple trying to follow their dreams in Los Angeles. The director gave the Academy something it was sure to love in a movie with a $30 million budget about white people and Los Angeles.

“Moonlight” completely defies everything that these tropes represent. It is a

masterpiece highlighting the struggles of the black LGBT community, which is extremely underrepresented in film. “Moonlight” is actually the first LGBT film in history to win Best Picture . The LGBT community has often been scorned when it comes to the Oscars, most notably in 2006 when the anticipated winner “Brokeback Mountain” lost the Best Picture title to “Crash.”

“Moonlight” had an allblack cast, which is another reason its win is monumental. “Moonlight’s” win is a huge step forward — not to mention the recordbreaking seven actors of color nominated for awards this year. Not only does it provide representation for black people, specifically the black LGBT community in film, it has opened up the eyes and hearts of many who would otherwise never have to face or understand

EMMA GETZ is a freshman in history

these struggles.

“Moonlight” was not the only Best Picture nominee this year to provide important stories and representation for people of color.

“Hidden Figures,” directed

by Theodore Melfi, was about the achievements of black women working as mathematicians at NASA. “Lion,” directed by Garth Davis, documents an Indian boy’s search for his family.

Awards for any of these films would have been important, but “Moonlight’s” gorgeous cinematography and narrative make it well-deserving of the award.

Hopefully this win will pave the way for more diverse stories to make their way to the Hollywood main stage. emmagetz@umail.iu.edu

WATER POLO

Freshman water polo player adjusts to US

By Michael Ramirez michrami@umail.iu.edu | @mramirez9

When freshman water polo player Mollie Williams arrived in Bloomington from Australia in early January, she faced a whirlwind of transitions.

As an international student, she had to adapt to life in Bloomington, Mollie and as a new collegiate ath- Williams lete, she was introduced to a higher level of competition and time commitment. After just two short weeks of dealing with all those changes, Williams was thrust into her first collegiate game as an attacker and scored two goals in a win against Cal State Bakersfield.

Williams has been crucial to No. 14 IU’s success in the pool this season.

She’s scored 11 goals in nine games and added four assists and four steals to her season total. IU Coach Ryan Castle said her preparation before coming to IU and starting the season has been key.

“Mollie always asks questions, and even if she’s not in the pool, she still watches practice and is always improving,” Castle said.

Williams said her whole recruitment process felt pretty quick.

“I committed in mid-November, so I literally called my mom up and told her the news,” Castle said. “They were really happy that this opportunity came up for me, so they were excited that I

could keep playing at the college level.”

Williams said it was an easy choice to come to IU. The other school she considered was Arizona State, but Williams said Castle and his assistant Emily Carr were the deciding factor when she chose to play in Bloomington.

Williams said she felt like she could connect with Carr because they both hail from Australia, and Carr used to play for Williams’ old club team back home.

One of the biggest surprises upon Williams’ arrival was the difference in the weather and culture.

She said her best experience so far has been the training and bonding with her teammates.

“I’ve never seen snow before I came here, so that was really cool,” Williams said. “Everything that we’ve done as a team and training has been such a good experience.”

As far as friends go, Williams said she likes to hang out with other international players on the team because she said she feels like they are going through the same experiences. In particular, Williams said junior goalie Jessica Gaudreault and junior defender Kelly Matthews, both from Canada, have helped her adjust.

In team locker rooms, players sometimes get hyped and jam out to music with other teammates. Though being an international student sometimes can make it hard if the player doesn’t know the music that the rest of the team is listening to, Williams said her taste in music is similar to that of the

rest of the team.

“I like Eminem, I can rap,” Williams, said, laughing.

“When we play music in the locker room I’ll rap with the rest of the girls. The music back home is more alternative, and here it has a little more pop.”

The international students on the team helped Williams make her decision an easy one. She said she

knew it would feel a little bit more at home if she went to a place where there would be some people who are from outside the country as well.

Williams said her biggest motivators are her parents and the IU coaches, who have helped make her adjustment to American culture a little easier.

“Both coaches have motivated me a lot because they

wanted me to be here,” Williams said. “I want to show them that I can play as well as they think I can, so I’m just trying to give them what they recruited for.”

Williams’ parents haven’t actually seen her play for the Hoosiers in person, but she said her family will come watch when IU travels to Oahu, Hawaii, to play USC and Hawaii on March 16

and 18.

Her parents gave her some advice when she left for the United States. She said they told her to be the best that she can be and to let the rest take care of itself.

“They really stressed that everything will fall into place if it’s meant to be,” Williams said. “Even if it doesn’t work out here at least I know that I tried my best.”

ROWING

Rowing team develops tradition for achievement

By TC Malik tcmalik@umail.iu.edu | @TCMalik96

A simple and old fashioned, yet meaningful part of the rowing team, the vintage wooden handle dubbed the “Hoosier handle” has refreshed a longtime team tradition.

The award is given out on a weekly basis to the athlete who goes above and beyond expectations, assistant coach Amanda Perry said.

It can be for a stellar performance or outstanding example of leadership, but overall it deals with going above and beyond, and finding the athletes that

take initiative.

The idea for the concept came from the old weekly award, the athlete of the week.

In previous years, the athletes would pass on the award to each other; however, Perry, assistant coach Kristen Brownlee and the rest of the coaches said they felt they could better judge the players’ potential.

Therefore, coaches gave the accolade a new spin, and the Hoosier handle was born.

The handle was awarded for the first time in January during the team’s winter workouts, which Brownlee said were some of the

most grueling times of the season. The recipient was sophomore and Indianapolis native Connie Brahm.

“The handle is something that really promotes competition within the team, but also makes everybody push to do their best,” Brahm said.

Brahm pushed to do her best during the team’s Queen of the Hill event, the main reason why the coaches selected her as the inaugural Hoosier handle winner.

The Queen of the Hill competition pitted the rowers against each other in a friendly workout competition. Brahm started toward

the back of the pack, but quickly began to emerge and passed 15 rowers before reaching the top spot.

“Its going to be exciting to the see how this young group of freshmen develops in the year to come, especially with our freshman class,” Brahm said.

One of those strong freshmen Brahm is excited to develop is fellow Hoosier handle winner, freshman Paige Spiller, who, like Brahm, had no thoughts about pursuing rowing until she decided on IU. “I always played sports in high school and still wanted to be a part of a team to work out and stay

Bob Knight to speak at Bloomington North From IDS reports

Former IU men’s basketball coach Bob Knight will hold a talk at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 30, at Bloomington High School North, the school announced Wednesday.

There will be 3,000 general admission tickets available for sale online for $25 each.

The talk will be moderated by longtime Bloomington sportswriter Bob Hammel, and the two will discuss stories from Knight’s coaching career.

Knight won more than 900 games as a head coach with both IU and Texas Tech. In his 29 years at the helm of IU men’s basketball, Knight won three NCAA championships and 11 Big Ten regular season titles.

On March 10, 2000, Knight was fired by IU for an altercation he had with

BOB KNIGHT Tickets $25 7 p.m. March 30, Bloomington High School North an IU student that violated the school’s “zero-tolerance policy” it implemented with him after a string of allegations that accused the coach of being overly physical and threatening with coaches and players.

Knight has not made many public appearances in Bloomington since his firing, but most recently he held a book signing at a local Walmart in 2013.

Knight is the winningest coach in IU men’s basketball history, with 662 overall victories and 353 Big Ten wins in his time with the Hoosiers.

Jake Thomer

For the first time in her career, IU junior defender Annelie Leitner was selected to represent the senior Austrian National Team at an international competition.

Having previously represented Austria at the Under-19 and Under-17 levels, Leitner is

part of the Austria senior team roster competing at the 2017 Cyprus Women’s Cup. The tournament has been held annually in Cyprus since 2008.

Twelve teams participate in the tournament, and play began Wednesday.

Leitner, from Salzburg, Austria, has played in 38 matches for IU and started 22

athletes who have participated in the sport for their entire lives.

As a freshman walkon, Spiller won the handle over dozens of experienced rowers.

That alone makes the award something all of the teammates can be proud of, something more than an “old school” aged wooden handle.

The team begins its Spring Break training trip in Tennessee, where they will take on the Tennessee Volunteers in a scrimmage.

Their first real competition doesn’t come until the Double Dual on April 1 in Bloomington.

away from the freshman 15,” Spiller said.

Spiller chose IU over the University of Louisville due to the openness of the IU rowing program.

“My sister found the rowing team for me, and I found out they take people who have never rowed before, so I gave it a shot,” Spiller said.

She had no previous experience with rowing, much like many of her other teammates. The team is split roughly in half between experienced rowers and athletes that have had no previous experience.

Rowers with no experience can earn the award over some of the

of them. She scored IU’s first goal in the 2016 season during a 1-1 draw with Louisville on Aug. 19 at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

However, Leitner only played one more match for the Hoosiers last season before suffering a season-ending injury.

She was named an

Academic All-Big Ten selection last season, the second consecutive year she received the honor.

Austria began the tournament with a 0-0 draw against South Korea Wednesday, and will play its next game Friday against New Zealand.

Factoring in the unknown can be difficult for Taber, she said. The tWits occasionally use improv as a warm-up before practice, but INprov is her biggest unscripted challenge of the year.

A friend recently told her to flow with the scene instead of actively trying to be funny, and she said she hopes to use that to avoid problems she usually has during the spontaneous night.

“I can get bogged down with thoughts and kind of lose myself, lose my place,” she said.

Performing improv in INprov can help comedic artists as well, Kaufmann said. Each person in the group usually has certain characters, accents and emotions they play more often than others.

Through INprov, they may have to challenge their normal style.

“I tease him a little bit, but I actually just mean it affectionately,” she said.

Stores was a transcriber before Goodbeer joined the ATAC team, and she said the pair now splits a lot of the work at the office.

“I love music, and I would say that music is my life, but I don’t sing, I don’t compose it,” Stores said.

“But Chris knows music and sings opera.”

Richwine said Goodbeer’s knowledge of music and library science helps him in his career as a Braille transcriber.

“It takes a lot of pieces all working together: technical work with music score, Braille knowledge and the ability to work with people,” Richwine said.

Goodbeer has a certificate and associate certificate in literary Braille transcribing and music Braille transcribing from the Library of Congress.

He uses both to transcribe texts and music for students through various programs, like Duxbury, a Braille translation software, and Adobe Illustrator.

He said he enjoys literary and music Braille, and being able to switch from one to the other is a nice change of pace for him.

“I enjoy puzzle solving, which a lot of transcribing can be like,” Goodbeer said.

Goodbeer and the ATAC work with students from all IU campuses, and Goodbeer said he communicates regularly via email with students to make sure what he sends them fulfills their needs.

Stores, Goodbeer and Richwine all said they empathize with students and want to make the playing field as equal as possible for everyone.

In particular, Stores explained in college she had to scan her own textbooks and spent her study time making them accessible.

As a result, she said she didn’t do as well in classes.

She said the best part of her job in the ATAC is transcribing texts for students so they can actually study and do well in classes.

“Some people might think you’re giving people with disabilities extra benefits, but really you’re not,” she said. “You’re helping them so that when a professor assigns a book, they can actually go to their accessible electronic alternative and read it the same as anybody else.”

Goodbeer expressed a similar sentiment.

He said he believes in providing access and equal opportunities to all students.

Judy Berkshire , a 68-yearold Bloomington resident, mentioned that she’s lived in Indiana all her life, and she’s never experienced as much trouble being heard by lawmakers as she is right now.

“I don’t think anything works now with the current Republican legislature that we have,” Berkshire said.

With that in mind, she asked Pierce if he feels that what he has to say is ever heard by his Republican counterparts.

It depends on the issue, Pierce said. With extremely partisan issues, such as private school vouchers, there’s typically no way Republicans will budge.

However, 90 percent of

issues are not a “political lockdown,” Pierce said.

“There, there you actually can persuade some people from time to time,” he said.

One of the last comments came from Anne McLaughlin , a 53-year-old Bloomington resident.

At first, she was resistant to networking across the state, she said. But now she realizes it’s the best thing she can do.

If Bloomington residents want something to change, she suggested they just shut up and listen to the voices of other Indiana residents.

“There are like-minded people, but we have to speak to them where they’re at,” McLaughlin said. “They don’t talk like us, they don’t always think like us, but they’re good people.”

In the season opener

against No. 7 Oregon State, the Hoosiers also were unable to record a hit with a runner on base, going 0-9 in those situations on the day, and they unsurprisingly left the ballpark with a loss like Wednesday.

“We have a good Big Ten schedule ahead of us and

WEEKEND@IDSNEWS.COM

About Ana Lily Amirpour Amirpour got into filmmaking early in her childhood by recreating popular commercials, her favorite of which was an ad for laxatives.

Her writing process often involves spending four or five days in Las Vegas, pacing in a hotel room and chain-smoking.

She’s not immune to the star-power of actors in her films — at her first meeting with Jim Carrey, she showed up with a pillowcase on her head to break the ice.

Filmmaker Ana Lily Amirpour gives a lecture and question-and-answer session put on by IU Cinema on Friday. Amirpour, known for the film “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night,” spoke of dropping her biology major, being a ski bum and the creative process.

Direct(Her) Ana Lily Amirpour brings bold brilliance to IU

By Jesse Pasternack jpastern@indiana.edu | @jessepasternack

Many great artists are idiosyncratic. Their work and personality are so brilliant and distinctive that it’s hard to imagine other people like them. They may work with a large set of influences, but they work with them in their own particular way.

Director Ana Lily Amirpour is such an artist. She takes a diverse set of influences and filters them through her own consciousness. She melds together classic genres to deal with the overriding theme of her work: loneliness.

Amirpour was born in England but grew up in Bakersfield, California. Her debut film “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” was a hit at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Her new film, “The Bad Batch,” was described early in production as a Texas cannibal love story.

Amirpour took part in four events during her Thursday and Friday visit to the IU Cinema. The first was a screening of “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” on Thursday. That marvelous movie was billed as the first Iranian vampire spaghetti Western love story. That night, the cinema screened her entire catalog of short films, which had never been shown together on a big screen. The next day, IU Cinema director Jon Vickers interviewed Amirpour for the Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker lecture series. After the interview, the cinema had a preview screening of “The Bad Batch” before its release June 23.

“The Bad Batch” is about a solitary woman trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic desert, where everyone considered unfit for society is banished.

After a revenge attempt gone wrong, she helps the mysterious “Miami Man” find a young child, even when threatened by cannibalism, drug-fueled decadence and a charismatic cult leader, played by Keanu Reeves.

Amirpour has many talents as a filmmaker. The

worlds she creates are both familiar and unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. There have been a lot of movies set in post-apocalyptic deserts, but few of them have the scrappy humanity of “The Bad Batch.”

In every question-and-answer session, Amirpour was frank and delightful. When asked if she considered herself anti-Hollywood, she paused, then said, “I consider myself anti things that suck.”

Amirpour compared editing to crawling through the tunnel of waste in “The Shawshank Redemption” and coming out on the other side, and the entire process of filmmaking as getting to “create a universe of problems that only I know how to solve.”

Amirpour has a diverse set of influences and teachers. She credits David Lynch with showing her to “not be afraid to look into the darkest crevices of your brain caves.”

She referred to Robert Zemeckis as her “Orson Welles,” and said that more filmmakers should be like Doc Brown from “Back to the Future.” She talks as enthusiastically about action icon Bruce Lee as she does about the famously slow films of French director Robert Bresson.

“Isn’t it great that there are so many things to love?” she said.

She imagines her characters down to the smallest detail. The character of Saeed in “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” is memorable as a tough villain. But Amirpour revealed that she gave him a sweet side by making his favorite TV show “Friends.”

Amirpour’s films are superb from a technical point of view. They have fascinating shot compositions and excellent editing rhythms. But what elevates her movies to their high status isn’t their stylistic ingenuity. Rather, it’s their examination of how people deal with loneliness.

In her first question-and-answer on Thursday, SEE AMIRPOUR, PAGE 10

13 women in film and TV From well-known names like Kathryn Bigelow and Ava DuVernay to up-and-coming talents like Dee Rees, female directors are a minority in Hollywood. While the entertainment industry is maledominated at the moment, these underrated female directors demand recognition.

Amma Asante With “Belle” in 2013 and “A United Kingdom” earlier this year, Asante has proven herself the queen of mixed-race romance in period dramas.

She continues that streak with upcoming - and potentially controversial - film “Where Hands Touch,” which follows the romance between a mixed-race girl and a white SS officer in Nazi Germany.

Andrea Arnold From “Fish Tank” to “American Honey,” writer and director Arnold is a master of indie coming-ofage dramas. For “American Honey,” starring Sasha Lane and Shia LaBeouf as two misguided teens, Arnold won the 2016 Special Jury Prize at Cannes Film Festival. She has also directed three episodes of “Transparent.”

Kathryn Bigelow Perhaps one of the most well-known female directors, Bigelow started off by directing and producing short films, then was noticed by higher-up directors, which led her to her current status as one of the biggest female directors in the business. She tends to explore the inner-workings of gender and racial politics in cinema and in the action genre. “The Hurt SEE DIRECTORS, PAGE 10

‘Bad Batch’ a messy, wild ride ‘THE BAD BATCH’ Suki Waterhouse, Jason Momoa, Keanu Reeves

NETFLIX

In Netflix’s “Sense8,” eight characters from different cultural backgrounds share memories and experiences through a supernatural bond.

Love wins in ‘Sense8’ Kate Halliwell khalliwe@indiana.edu @Kate__Halliwell

Until 2012, the directing duo known as the Wachowski brothers was known primarily for ambitious filmmaking and a wacky, over-the-top style.

While the two were most celebrated for creating the “Matrix” trilogy, they went on to direct polarizing but popular films like “V For Vendetta,” “Cloud Atlas” and “Jupiter Ascending.”

Then, suddenly, something changed, and while their filmmaking style remained the same, the Wachowski brothers were no more.

Lana Wachowski announced in 2012 that she is a transgender woman and had been slowly transitioning since 2000. In 2016, her sister Lilly made a similar announcement — she too was a woman, and the world needed to accept the Wachowskis as the sisters they had always truly been.

It’s silly to examine the Wachowskis’ extensive filmography for signs of these changes, but their most recent project seems to reflect the freedom that both women now feel in their

personal and professional lives.

The Wachowskis’ Netflix series “Sense8” is an inclusive, joyful and often confounding look at eight different people from all walks of life who are thrust together under supernatural circumstances. When it premiered in 2015, most headlines referred to the highly sexual nature of the show, as critics and audiences alike seemed scandalized by various group-sex scenes.

Sexuality has become synonymous with “prestige” television these days, and shows from “Game of Thrones” to “True Blood” build viewerships based partly on the fact that people want sex in their television.

While “Sense8” has a lot of graphic scenes, the reason it was so surprising to audiences is that it’s not the kind of sexual content people are used to seeing on-screen.

Part of the reason “Sense8” was so shocking is because of the kinds of people engaging in sexual activity. In the first episode alone, a transgender main character attends an LGBT Pride Parade and has sex with her black lesbian girlfriend. For the record, “Sense8” is one of few shows

that feature a transgender character played by a transgender actor or actress.

Later in the season, a gay Latino man enters into a threeway relationship with his boyfriend and their Latina girlfriend.

“Sense8” is based on the idea that the eight main characters are linked mentally and spiritually, and this link can transcend place and even time. This lets the Wachowskis, in their notoriously sex-positive way, sprinkle in a number of orgy scenes among the “sensates,” as they’re called.

Remember when everyone was so scandalized by the brothel scene in “Westworld” last year? Amateurs.

While the group scenes are certainly gratuitous at times, they allow the Wachowskis to demonstrate just how fluid sexuality can be. Three of the main male characters are positioned as straight in the beginning of the series, but most of them are coded as bisexual as the series goes on.

All of this sexual expression is treated as no big deal by the series, which is a refreshing change. “Sense8” is celebratory about sex in a way few other shows dare to be, while still presenting

it as part of the human experience. The biggest difference is that “Sense8” presents joyful, loving relationships between many kinds of people — transgender women, gay men and racial minorities alike.

While it may just be a coincidence that the wacky world of “Sense8” coincided with the final coming out of the Wachowski sisters, it seems like the series is a reflection of their newfound freedom.

That said, Lilly Wachowski is taking a break from season two of “Sense8,” reportedly intending to focus on her own well-being for awhile. Considering her public transition just last year, this isn’t surprising, but it does mark the first time the sisters have split professionally throughout their entire career. Odds are good that she’ll return for season three, but only if the show is renewed by Netflix.

If Netflix knows what’s good for it, it won’t dare cancel “Sense8.” Compared to the sexual violence against women seen on networks like HBO and Starz, the healthy, inclusive relationships of “Sense8” are a credit to Netflix, and so are the sisters who created them.

Ana Lily Amirpour broke into the auteur director scene in a big way in 2014 with her debut feature “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night.” Despite similar expectations for her follow up film “The Bad Batch,” Amirpour’s second film bears almost no resemblance to its predecessor.

Unlike her debut, “The Bad Batch” is closer to the usual studio model — it’s not in black and white or the Persian language, and it features renowned actors like Keanu Reeves and Jim Carrey amidst its rising stars.

Both of Amirpour’s features effectively transport the viewer into their genre-bending mishmash worlds, and it’s difficult to sum up either plot without giving away too much or boiling them down to a hackneyed catchphrase comparison, like referring to “The Bad Batch” as ”‘Pretty in Pink’ meets ‘Mad Max’,’” as Amirpour has described it.

The film begins by introducing a fearless young woman named Arlen, who is left in a Texan desert wasteland as part of the eponymous “bad batch” of people deemed unfit for American society. Instead of spending time establishing what the country is like or what made her a misfit, the film instead jumps into the action and effectively tells a story with almost no dialogue.

Soon into her trek through the desert, Arlen, played by model-turned-actress Suki Waterhouse, is captured by cannibals and left an amputee before she gets a chance to escape. The progression in these opening scenes is gradual yet gripping, using its pace to establish itself as a visceral thriller.

The film is not solely about Arlen, because the aloof, hulking Miami Man, played by Jason Momoa, basically serves as a secondary protagonist.

Knowing Hollywood, he’s even featured more heavily in the promotional material.

Arlen finds herself indebted to him and helps him find his young daughter after their separation. The desert reveals it holds more than cannibals, like Comfort, a corrupt yet peaceful commune.

Unfortunately, the film’s pace slows down dramatically after the opening half-hour, and it never recaptures the same adrenaline rush. While the action throughout the remainder of the film is still gloriously brutal, it’s a letdown after the early peak, especially because it’s distilled by a greater presence of dialogue.

Waterhouse is a much stronger actress when she doesn’t have to deliver lines.

“The Bad Batch” finds a distinct identity in its style.

Black Light Smoke’s danceable “Firefly,” 80s pop hit “Karma Chameleon,” and rave hip hop like Die Antwoord come together to create an eclectic soundtrack that immediately distinguishes the tone of “The Bad Batch” from any other violent dystopian film. It helps the film stay fun despite the heavy subject matter. The film also experiments a lot with its visuals, using fixed cameras and mirrors to frame many shots.

“The Bad Batch” is a story about survival and finding one’s place through desperation. It’s a multi-faceted film without full balance in its aspects, clearly emphasizing style of execution over depth of ideas. By the end of the two hours, the film overstays its welcome, but it’s still impressive in the images it captures.

Poet, author Ha Jin will visit IU on Thursday

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

American-Chinese poet and novelist Ha Jin is known for a variety of accomplishments in the world of literature, including two PEN/ Faulkner Awards and a Neustadt International Prize for Literature.

Jin will visit IU as part of the 2017 Arts & Humanities Festival, “China Remixed,” with a public lecture starting at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Grunwald Gallery.

Ed Comentale, associate vice provost for the arts and humanities and director of the arts and humanities council, said Jin is one of the most acclaimed authors of our time.

“He writes beautifully and powerfully about love, politics, nationalism and identity,” Comentale said in an email.

“He grew up during the Cultural Revolution in China, but he eventually left the Chinese army to study literature and move to the States. He’s lived in exile ever since, and the characters in his novels are torn between family and individualism, love and duty, nationalism and art.”

Jin will not only lecture to the public Thursday evening, he will also lead a discussion with creative writing students in the morning on “The Politics of the Novel: Writing as Cultural Resilience.”

The author will also be offering scheduled manuscript consultations with aspiring writers in IU’s Master of Fine Arts program.

“I’m most excited to see how students react to his writing, because I think it speaks to many of their own struggles with impending adulthood,” Comentale said. “I am also eager to hear him read aloud.

English is Jin’s second language, but he uses it beautifully in his writing, and I’m

curious to learn more about how he hears the words and rhythms of his prose in his own ears.”

“China Remixed” as an initiative was designed with the aim of reshaping the way people at IU perceive the traditions, cultures and everyday life in China.

“It is dedicated to exploring China not as a nation or a political entity, but as a vast global diaspora that includes people from all over the world who have either been impacted by Chinese culture or have transformed Chinese culture,”

Comentale said.

As a guest lecturer and visitor to the campus, Jin provides not only writing expertise, but a life story that allows students to see how straddling identities can lead to a greater understanding of who one is.

“Ha Jin is a perfect guest because his writing exists between two cultures and his characters are often torn between different regions of the world,” Comentale said. “He writes beautifully about the anxious doubleness of modern life and the strategies that people use to stitch together a

sense of self.”

One of the most valuable parts of the college experience is by hearing stories from people of different backgrounds and experiences, he said.

The educational process outside of the classroom includes hearing storytellers such as Jin and Gene Yang, who visited earlier this semester as part of the same initiative. Later in the semester, there will be the opportunity for students to join in with their own storytelling.

“In fact, we’re hosting a dual-language storyslam later

this semester that will feature the personal stories of Chinese students at IU,” Comentale said. “Many domestic students never interact with our Chinese students, and vice versa, but I believe that storytelling helps to dissolve superficial differences and generate new, more sympathetic connections between people of different cultures.”

Comentale said he is discovering new facets of Chinese culture every day and at the same time developing an understanding of some of the issues at play between, for

example, the social classes and China and Taiwan.

“The greatest joy and most rewarding part of this experience has been listening to our Chinese students, especially the many volunteers working on China Remixed,” Comentale said. “I deeply value the conversation we’ve had about why they are studying at IU, how their parents have invested a lot of money in their education, the pressure they feel to succeed both here and back at home. For me, IU has become a much richer place because of these exchanges.”

Musical duo Louis the Child will perform Thursday night at the Bluebird Nightclub.

Louis the Child to play sold-out show at Bluebird

By Sierra Vandervort svanderv@indiana.edu @the_whimsical

Chicago electronic duo Louis the Child first caught some buzz when its 2015 breakout single, “It’s Strange,” was picked by Taylor Swift as one of her “songs that will make life awesome.” Few acts get recognition from stars. Even fewer get that nod before they reach legal drinking age.

20-year-old Robby Hauldren and 19-year-old Freddy Kennett started performing nationally when they were still in high school. Despite their young ages, they played shows in bars and clubs that they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to enter. In 2016, Hauldren and Kennett embarked on their first national tour which ended with a performance at Coachella.

As a part of their North American tour, Louis the

Child will perform at 8 p.m.

Thursday at the Bluebird Nightclub with support from Imad Royal.

Marketing director for the Bluebird Patrick Milescu said the sold-out show has been creating a lot of excitement around Bloomington.

“Louis the Child is a duo that has become very popular very quickly,” he said.

“Both of the members are very young and have had some great musical success for their age. It will be exciting to see where these guys go after another couple years.”

Hauldren and Kennett met through mutual friends at a concert for popular future-bass artist Madeon.

The two were already producing mashups on their own under the monikers Fatboy and Haul Pass, but decided to join production forces after finding their mutual interest.

Since debuting around

clubs in 2013, Louis the Child has made appearances at some of major music festivals including Electric Forest, Lollapalooza and New York’s Electric Zoo. With support from Washington, D.C., producer Imad Royal, Thursday night’s performance will be another installment of the Bluebird’s growing features on electronic music. Milescu said the shows with bigger electronic acts have been doing fairly well with the Bluebird’s audiences, and he expects the demand to grow even further in the future.

“The students really seem to enjoy it,” Milescu said. “Especially by this upcoming fall, people can probably expect to see a lot more electronic artists being brought in to play the Bird stage. Big names mostly, but there have been a few local DJs around here who have been doing well playing the Bluebird recently.”

Perhaps what made me the most excited to study abroad in Florence, Italy, was my sweet tooth. There is nothing I love more than finding hidden gems of sweet shops.

However, it turns out I had to go outside the city to begin to really experience the crème de la crème because every place has its own signature sweet.

In Prague, I had never even heard of a chimney treat until I saw this flaky pastry on the corner of every street. Little did I know that this strip of dough spun into a cone shape that is then baked and covered in granulated sugar is the signature pastry of the Czech Republic.

As I took a bite of my roommate’s covered in Nutella and my friend’s filled to the brim with apple cinnamon and whipped cream, I had truly never tasted anything like it. According to my tour guide, the delicacy has been around for centuries.

I didn’t think any other dessert had a chance beating the chimney until the

unbelievable apple strudel of Berlin was sitting before me.

I thought the dessert that was often associated with Germany would be overrated, however being the tourist that I am, I had to give it a try. I was seriously wrong.

From the soft dough to the fresh apples, I found myself blink once and the plate was empty.

I had hoped the sweets these places were known for wouldn’t disappoint, but I found myself even more impressed by the way Copenhagen took a swing at cheesecake. New York City had previously taken the title of best of the best in that category, but it’s got some tough competition in Denmark.

There were selections of this well-known treat I had never seen done so well, from a fruity delight of blueberries and raspberries to a piece of cheesecake layered in a coat of caramel and an Oreo cheesecake filled with nickel-size chunks of the cookie and topped with a full Oreo.

Adele Poudrier is a junior in journalism.

It was interesting to me how each place takes so much pride in its country through its signature dishes and its ability to recreate well-known dessert. Cuisine has proven time and time again to be one of the most prominent symbols of countries. Just take a look at Italy being known for unbelievable cannolis and cappuccinos.

Creating a fresh dessert serves more than an economic function in these countries. Cuisine is a way to show off the traditional foods that go way back in a country’s heritage, a way to connect the past to the present through taste.

Beyond that, the food of a country is a way to show pride, it’s a way to leave a mark on all of its visitors.

After all when tourists reflect on a trip and have an extraordinary meal it’s always a favorite memory to recount. apoudrie@indiana.edu

Oscars reward variety of films Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu @Anne__Halliwell

Are you still reeling from the last few minutes of Sunday’s Oscars? You’re not alone. After presenter Warren Beatty announced “La La Land” as the Best Picture winner only to crown “Moonlight” about a minute later, the legacy of the 89th Academy Awards show was cemented.

After that gaffe and the hurried exit of the “La La Land” team, the production team and cast of “Moonlight” celebrated. Although his Best Picture win didn’t come under ideal circumstances,

» AMIRPOUR

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 Amirpour said she felt a lot of loneliness in her own life. She noted that she particularly relates to the vampiric, unnamed girl in her first film.

One of the shots of the Girl skateboarding at night perfectly conveys how it feels to be lonely.

That shot is particularly personal for Amirpour not just because she is a lifelong skateboarder. She actually performed the skateboarding because her actress, Sheila Vand, could not do it.

Amirpour is great at showing how people can escape their loneliness.

She told the audience at her Jorgensen lecture that “you’re going to be friends with just those weirdos who get you.”

Two ‘weirdos’ in her life seem to be Alex O’Flinn and Lyle Vincent, the editor and cinematographer of both her feature films.

Everything I love about Amirpour’s directing is found in one shot of “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night.” It is when The Girl and her love interest Arash listen to “Death” by the band White Lies.

director Barry Jenkins had his chance to make an eloquent speech earlier that night for Best Adapted Screenplay.

“You know, I told my students that I teach sometimes ‘be in love with the process, not the result,’ but I really wanted this result because a bajillion people were watching,” “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins said. “And for all you people out there who feel there is no mirror for you, that you feel your life is not reflected, the Academy has your back ... and for the next four years we will not leave you alone, we will not forget you.”

“Moonlight” took the first award of the night when actor The shot features several simple actions. Arash enters the shot after The Girl puts on the song. She turns toward him and slowly slumps against his chest.

This shot is not conventionally exciting. It is nearly three minutes. The pacing is rather slow. There is not a single line of dialogue from either character.

But each of those qualities makes it all the more thrilling. The slow pacing makes every minor action seem meaningful. The second The Girl starts turning toward Arash and away from her solitude is as exciting as anything in a “Fast and Furious” movie.

Even this simple shot has several influences.

Vickers attributed the pacing to Amirpour’s love for Bresson. The black and white visuals owe a debt to Francis Ford Coppola’s Rumble Fish.”

But the emotional beauty of this moment of connection comes entirely from Amirpour. She mentioned that she generates “a lot of energy and power in my loneliness.”

Let’s hope she continues to use that power to make films about the moments of connection that make life worth living.

Mahershala Ali won the Oscar for Actor in a Supporting Role and thanked his teachers, managers and wife. Ali is the first Muslim actor to win an Academy Award.

Asghar Farhadi, who directed “The Salesman,” won a second Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and, instead of accepting the award traditionally, made a strong political statement. The Iranian director, who had been barred from the United States when President Trump’s Muslim ban went into effect, boycotted the show entirely.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 Locker” and “Zero Dark Thirty” are two of her most recent and ground-breaking films, and she is the only female to ever win Best Director at the Academy Awards.

Niki Caro Caro broke into the directing scene in 2002 with “Whale Rider,” and the New Zealandborn director isn’t stopping anytime soon. After completing this year’s “The Zookeeper’s Wife,” starring Jessica Chastain, Caro will tackle Disney’s live-action remake of “Mulan.”

Sofia Coppola There’s a reason Coppola is one of the few female directors that most people can name. With a number of popular films including “The Virgin Suicides,” “Lost in Translation,” and “Marie Antoinette,” Coppola has made a name for herself in Hollywood beyond that of her father, director Francis Ford Coppola. Her latest film, “The Beguiled,” starring Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Colin Farrell and Elle Fanning, comes out later this year.

“La La Land,” nominated for 14 Oscars, left with only six wins. Emma Stone took home a statue for Actress in a Leading Role, and the film also won Best Director, Best Original Score, Best Song for “City of Stars,” Best Cinematography and Best Production Design.

Viola Davis took home the gold for Best Actress in a

Supporting Role for “Fences,” and her impassioned speech was one for the ages. Her victory came after two previous losses, for “Doubt” and “The Help.”

Unsurprisingly, Casey Affleck’s performance in “Manchester by the Sea” outweighed the accusations of sexual assault that came out last year against him. He won the Oscar for Actor in a Leading Role.

“Suicide Squad” eked out an Oscar win for Makeup and Hairstyling. The poorly-reviewed DC film now has more Oscars than “Rear Window,” “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Psycho” and “The Shawshank

Redemption.”

Sound Mixing nominee and famously long-time loser Kevin O’Connell won his first Oscar last night after 21 nominations. The “Hacksaw Ridge” mixer thanked his deceased mother in his award speech, who he said had encouraged him to aspire toward an Academy Award.

Despite the Best Picture snafu, the 2017 Academy Awards were surprising and satisfactory. Overwhelming love for “La La Land” did not prevail, despite its original 14 nominations, and the Academy instead spread the love between a variety of deserving films.

Currently, DuVernay creates, directs and produces “Queen Sugar” on the Oprah Winfrey Network. She’ll next appear in movie theaters with 2018’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” based on the mind-bending classic fantasy novel.
