CLASSES SUSPENDED

Second IU student off campus has COVID-19

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

tial events involving about 100 or more people be postponed or canceled, according to the statement. People should not schedule any new nonessential large events.

All university staff and faculty members should look for department-specific policies on fulfilling work obligations from home by telecommuting. IU Human Resources has also instituted policies about IU-sponsored health care, paid time off, essential employees, building or campus closures, telecommuting and alternative work schedules.

A second IU student has been diagnosed with COVID-19 after studying abroad in Italy, according to an update on the IU coronavirus webpage. This is the second IU student to be diagnosed in less than a week.

The student was studying in the same city as the first diagnosed student but was not in the same program, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said.

This second student has also not been on any IU campus in the 2020 calendar year. They returned to their home in the St. Louis, Missouri, area last week, according to the IU webpage. The student returned home before they began to exhibit symptoms of the disease, Carney said.

Anyone traveling from a country with a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention level 2 or 3 travel alert will be required to self-quarantine off campus for 14 days before returning to IU, according to the webpage. Countries with a level 2 or 3 alert include China, Iran, Italy, Japan and South Korea. It is the person's responsibility to find a location for self-quarantine.

The academic situation of both diagnosed students is still being determined, Carney said. However, accommodations are being made to ensure they can make up credits they would have earned abroad.

Carney said the details of the accommodations aren’t worked out yet.

Students in the Lombardy region of Italy have been required to return home, but some outside that region have elected to stay and finish their semester abroad online, Carney said. A majority of students studying abroad in Italy have returned home.

IU administration is in contact with all students who are still abroad anywhere, especially level 2 or 3 countries, Carney said. IU is working with students who wish to return home, and if they wish to stay, IU wants to ensure they take all necessary precautions.

For those that want to return to the U.S., Carney said it’s important to get them back soon.

What to know about IU temporarily canceling in-person classes after break

By Shelby Anderson anderssk@iu.edu | @ShelbyA04288075

IU canceled in-person classes from March 23 to April 5 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, according to a March 10 statement from IU President Michael McRobbie.

McRobbie made the decision after consulting with university leaders, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said in an interview with the Indiana Daily Student. University leaders are following the advice of federal and global authorities to try preventing the spread of the virus by limiting gatherings of large groups of people.

“These measures will undoubtedly cause inconvenience and disruption, yet the risks of not acting now far outweigh the foreseeable inconvenience and challenges of these actions,” McRobbie said in the statement.

IU encouraged students to go home between March 23 and April 5, if possible. For those two weeks, students' course work will continue through online teaching, according to the statement. The university is looking into how to accommodate classroom activities that include labs or other in-person interactions and said it will release specific guidance.

IU campuses will not close.

Residential halls and dining options will remain open, according to the statement.

In an interview with WISHTV, Carney said the situation would be reevaluated after the two weeks of online classes to determine if it is safe for students and faculty to return to campus.

IU will continue to deep clean campus buildings, Carney said. He said the university has already increased the in-

tensity of its cleaning process and is following the recommendations listed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for cleaning to prevent the coronavirus.

Carney said professors received suggestions over the past few weeks to create lesson plans for online learning. He said the Teaching. IU website can help faculty members create and share online content.

IU created this Teaching.IU system for emergency situations that require online teaching, Carney said.

There have been no cases of the virus on any IU campuses as of March 10, according to the statement. Two IU students have been diagnosed with COVID-19 after studying abroad in a country with a level 3 travel alert from the CDC. The students are receiving care at home.

FOOTBALL SOFTBALL

Hoosiers win home opener with walk-off

By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @EvanGerike

The victory came down to hustle for IU softball in its home opener against Miami University on Tuesday.

The game was scoreless until the bottom of the seventh inning when senior Gabbi Jenkins hit a ground ball to third base and beat the throw to first, allowing freshman Chloe Steinhaus to come around from second and score.

IU head coach Shonda Stanton said everyone did their job in the seventh to contribute to IU’s 1-0 walk-off.

“It was a total hustle play when you look at Gabbi hustling out the single and Chloe scoring the game-winning run,” Stanton said.

Senior Katie Lacefield started the seventh for IU by walking before she was pinch ran by Steinhaus. Steinhaus was bunted over to second by freshman Tatum Hayes.

Since it was a midweek game, both teams threw their number one pitchers. For most of the game, senior Emily Goodin and Miami’s starting pitcher, junior Courtney Vierstra, battled and struck out hitters and left the few who reached base stranded.

“When it’s a pitchers' duel, I want to be the pitcher that wins,” Goodin said.

Ramsey announces he will transfer to Northwestern

IU cheers after senior Gabbi Jenkins scores and ends the game in the bottom of the seventh inning. IU defeated Miami University 1-0 in its home opener March 10 at Andy Mohr Field.

IU left eight runners on base, and Miami left three.

Vierstra came into the game sixth in the country in strikeouts with 129 in 17 appearances. She

struck out 11 Hoosiers. She also walked five, including the eventual game-winning run.

“She had 11 Ks, so you have to tip your cap to her,” Stanton said.

“We have to be better than that, but I’m glad we came out on the right side of it.”

SEE SOFTBALL, PAGE 6

Junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey announced through social media Monday that he will transfer to Northwestern for his final year of eligibility.

Ramsey started seven games for IU in 2019. He took over as the starting quarterback after redshirt freshman Michael Penix Jr. had season-ending shoulder surgery Nov. 5. Ramsey led the Hoosiers to their first bowl appearance in three years against the University of Tennessee in the Gator Bowl on Jan. 2.

He threw for 2,454 yards, 13 touchdowns and five interceptions in 2019.

Before the 2019 season, Ramsey was a two-year starter for IU. He is the program's all-time leader in completion percentage at 66.5% in 31 career games.

“I would like to thank everyone at Indiana University for allowing me to live out my dream of playing college football,” Ramsey said in a statement. “I would especially like to thank my teammates that pushed me, encouraged me, and trusted me. Sometimes the road to realizing your dreams can take you in a different direction than you expected.”

Spring break bus routes reduced

IU app offers COVID-19 screenings

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

By Cate Charron catcharr@iu.edu | @catecharron

Bloomington Transit is reducing campus-oriented bus routes for the expected lack of students during the IU spring break. All other routes will run regularly.

“Over half of our riders are IU students,” said Bloomington Transit Customer Service Manager Eli McCormick. “There’s a lot less demand for the service.”

The Route 7 Henderson/Walnut Express, Route 6 Limited and Route 9 Limited will not be in service March 14-22. McCormick said these routes are primarily for students.

The Route 6 Campus Shuttle and Route 9 will operate under the semester break schedule March 15-21. Less buses will run on these days.

BTaccess, a transportation service to assist people with disabilities who are unable to use the fixed bus routes, will operate until 7:30 p.m. March 15 and 21. It will run regularly on all other days.

Scooter company to come this spring

By Shelby Anderson anderssk@iu.edu | @ShelbyA04288075

When Bird scooters come out of hibernation this spring, scooters from Midwest-based company VeoRide will join them and Limes on the streets and sidewalks of Bloomington.

VeoRide scooters will come to campus March 23, the day after students return from spring break, VeoRide spokesperson Amy Hesser said. Yaël Ksander, the City of Bloomington spokesperson, said Bird scooters are scheduled to return the same day.

Hesser said VeoRide created scooter batteries that can be swapped out, allowing riders to leave the scooters where they are instead of driving the scooters to a charging station. Hesser said this reduces carbon emissions because transporting the heavy scooters to charging stations takes more gas.

In each city, VeoRide has three coordinators, and each of these coordinators work with teams to change and charge the scooter batteries, Hesser said.

Ksander said the incorporation of VeoRide is different because the company came to the city before starting its operations, unlike Bird and Lime which both dropped scooters unannounced in 2018. Dropping off the scooters unannounced caused some turmoil for the city because it had no time to prepare for how the scooters would be regulated.

The city now has guidelines for people to follow while riding scooters such as paying attention to dismount zones around the city, which were originally established only for bikes.

Ksander said the zones were determined based on high levels of foot traffic and are intended to keep pedestrians safe. A complete list of dismount zones, along with other scooter regulations, can be found on the City of Bloomington website.

“People need to take care of themselves as well as others,” Ksander said.

Ksander said that the VeoRide scooters have been approved by the Board of Public Works, which is made up of Bloomington residents who make decisions about directives involving Bloomington.

Although two companies already provide this service, Ksander said the market is driven by demand. She said the fact that VeoRide is interested determines that there is a market.

Despite an outpouring of public comments against the project, the Bloomington Plan Commission approved the Fourth Street garage design presented to it Monday night.

The proposed garage would have about 540 parking spaces, 10 electric charging vehicle stations and 60 bicycle spaces spread across seven floors.

In the redesign, the garage lost access to Third Street and about 2,000 square feet of commercial and public space, bringing the total ground floor space down to 6,750 square feet. Some of the property’s space will also hold city offices and local businesses.

“We’re building this next parking capacity for it to last the next 50 years,” Bloomington economic and sustainable development director Alex Crowley said.

Construction is slated to begin in July and finish in July of 2021. The garage would be open to the public in mid-July, before students arrive for the 2021-22 academic year.

Crowley said the Fourth Street garage was a catalyst for downtown growth when it was first

built in the 1980s. He said the garage helped revitalize the area, creating community growth by encouraging businesses to invest into it.

“Now we have a vibrant downtown,” Crowley said.

The redesign of the garage came after the city was legally prevented from acquiring the property where the business JuanSells.com Realty resides, which was a part of the original garage.

Monroe County Circuit Court Judge Holly Harvey ruled Dec. 20 that the city couldn’t use eminent domain, the government’s right to seize private land for public use, because the property would be filled by other businesses, which doesn’t constitute public use, according to court documents.

Removing the commercial space would violate Bloomington code, which requires that all garages have some area on the ground floor for commercial use.

After Crowley and other officials working on the redesign answered plan commission members’ questions, more than 15 people spoke during public comment. Some commenters said the city was advocating for economic growth, while others saw it as an indirect approval

of fossil fuels.

Mary Morgan, a Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce employee, said she understands why people would be frustrated about what seems like a push for parking, but the city needs it.

“We’re in a transitional period, and maybe some time in the future we’ll have no parking, but that’s not right now,” Morgan said.

Bloomington resident Timothy Clark said the garage prioritizes cars and hurts public transportation methods such as buses.

The city needs to rethink what its priorities are, Clark said. He said the city should care more about public transportation and how to become carbon neutral, rather than set up more parking garages.

“This is a commitment to another 50 years of fossil fuel,” Clark said.

Uptown Café general manager Galen Cassady said he urges the commissioners to approve this garage. He said downtown employees can’t find affordable parking for the area, and it’s also unfair to the employees who live in rural areas and can’t easily bike or walk to work.The city has yet to decide how much it will cost to park

at the garage.

City councilor Isabel Piedmont-Smith said the city shouldn’t prioritize automotive transportation by approving this garage as it is.

The Bloomington City Council originally approved the design when it was six stories, not seven.

She said the new design was bigger than it needed to be.

“I understand downtown businesses say we need parking, but we don’t need seven stories,” Piedmont-Smith said.

In what appeared to be a response to Piedmont-Smith’s public comment about the garage’s new size, plan commission member Susan Sandberg said the point of redesigning the garage is to get as close to the original benefits as possible, such as number of parking spaces.

“When the facts on the ground change, so does the design,” Sandberg said.

Sandberg said the lack of the garage has hurt the community, and she has seen that pain from older residents having to walk further when they want to take part in city events.

The next step in the process is bidding out to different companys to determine which one will build the garage.

Trip cancellations cause frustration

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

On March 5, IU announced universitysponsored international spring break trips had been canceled. Some of these trips included places such as Indonesia, Berlin, Guatemala and Mexico.

So far, no word has been given to students about refunds for program fees or airline tickets, and no alternatives have been brought to the students to make up the one credit they would have earned.

“University leadership made the decision because of the rapidly evolving nature of the outbreak and with overall concern for the health and safety of IU students,” the statement reads.

IU administration also wants to reduce the chances that student travelers could become subject to additional U.S. and foreign travel restrictions while abroad, according to the statement.

Study abroad programs traveling domestically will continue as planned.

Anusuya Bandyopadhyay, a sophomore studying neuroscience, was planning on traveling to Riobamba, Ecuador, with Medlife, a student organization that partners

with poor communities to improve their access to medicine, education and community development, according to its website.

The students were going to be working in a mobile clinic there during the week of spring break.

“I was really excited to go,” Bandyopadhyay said. “It would have been my first spring break trip, and because I’m pre-med I would have gotten a lot of experience.”

This trip was not for class credit but would have allowed students to earn first-hand experience in the healthcare field. The Medlife mobile clinics provide healthcare directly to communities that may lack access to health services, according to their website.

The Medlife program has reached out to students about receiving a voucher to make up for pre-paid travel costs or instead going on a trip to Peru during the summer because of the spring break cancellation, Bandyopadhyay said. There have been at least six confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ecuador, according to BBC. “It’s a good precaution for the university to take as a whole, but for our trip specifically I think it was a little unnecessary,” she said.

Junior Andrés Ayala was planning to travel to Indonesia as part of a semester-long Hutton Honors College course on nongovernmental organizations.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not have a travel warning or risk level for Indonesia, but multiple cases have been confirmed in the country.

“There’s always going to be a risk,” Ayala said.

Ayala has traveled with the Hutton International Experiences program twice before.

He went to China last spring break and to the Netherlands in summer 2018. In the weeks leading up to the trip, Ayala said that Hutton was constantly and openly communicating with the students involved in order to ensure their health and safety.

Senior Katie Janoski, studying environmental management, planned on traveling to Berlin over spring break with the O’Neill School of Environmental and Public Affairs to study metropolitan development there.

“If I could still go I definitely would, even if it meant coming back and being quarantined off-campus,” Janoski said.

“But it makes sense to cancel the trips because

the campus is so large, a virus like this could spread really quickly.”

For the duration of the one-credit program, students would have taken a class in the mornings and explored Berlin in the afternoons. A graduate student in Janoski’s group needed that credit in order to graduate, Janoski said. Students are waiting for the university to give them more information about refunds and making up the credit, she said.

“I feel like they should have been more transparent from the beginning,” she said. “The cancelation was very much out of the blue.”

An IU Health app started offering free COVID-19 screenings last weekend through a virtual clinic, according to an IU Health press release. The app, IU Health Virtual Visit, is staffed 24/7 with IU Health physicians, advance practice providers and registered nurses.

Patients can use the app to be screened for the coronavirus from home, which can potentially eliminate the need to visit a physical doctor’s office, urgent care or emergency room, according to the release. The app’s team can recommend and facilitate appropriate steps for care and provide direct access to local hospitals and medical care.

The app encourages users to answer questions about their medical history and any underlying conditions they have before being connected to a medical professional through video chat.

The app can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play and can also be accessed through the website on computers or mobile devices.

IFC, PHA suspend events after rumors of coronavirus

By Peter Talbot pjtalbot@iu.edu | @petejtalbot

Social functions for fraternities and sororities in the IU Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association are suspended through this weekend to limit contact in large group settings, PHA President Jessica Deady confirmed Tuesday morning to the Indiana Daily Student.

In a statement released Monday night, the organizations said rumors were circulating that two members “may or may not have contracted COVID-19 after returning from study abroad.”

The organizations could not confirm or deny whether the members have coronavirus. The organizations said suspending social functions was a preventative measure.

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said there are no suspected cases of coronavirus at IU and there is no evidence that anyone who contracted the virus has been on campus.

“If we have what we believe to be a possible case, people would hear from the university,” Carney said.

IFC and PHA said they can’t confirm or deny any health status for the individuals rumored to have coronavirus, according to the statement. Both the IFC and PHA will work to continue to ensure appropriate preventative measures are in place.

IU Alpha Phi Alpha presents its newest class

By Nick Telman ntelman@iu.edu | @telmonster_11

The Gamma Eta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. welcomed its newest members with the first spring class in 10 years: The I.N.E.V.I.T.A.B.L.E. 9.

About 500 students, family members and National Pan-Hellenic Council members came from across the state and packed into Alumni Hall in the Indiana Memorial Union.Each class has its own name because the class is meant to be a unit, and each class is different.

“It was a crazy moment, really indescribable” said junior and new member Christopher Alexander. “I wasn’t going to cry but I had tears in my eyes, all the time I put in all came to this moment. This was it this is what I worked for.”

They were welcomed to The Yard, which is a term used by NPHC fraternities and sororities for the place where the chapter was started. In this case it’s IU. New classes of members are welcomed in the spring or fall. Depending on when they’re initiated, fall or spring along with the year is put on their shirts and jackets.

“The last Gamma Eta probate was in fall 2016 at Wilkie auditorium,” IU senior and Alpha Phi Alpha member William Clay said. “To come back and have a probate is a really good feeling.”

The newest members

include: David Harrison, Christopher Alexander Jr., Jordan Lloyd, Olufolabomi Odekunle, Joshua Pack, Deontae Bolden, Morifing Kone, Aahron Revell and Moses Baryoh.

“The campus is very on edge about this event, very ready to see who these young men are and ready to see the fresh face of the chapter,” Clay said before the event.

Family and friends filled the hall with cheers as members of The I.N.E.V.I.T.A.B.L.E. 9 made their way to the stage.

The members were dressed in matching black jackets with a gold sleeve on the right side and their line number on the back, black turtlenecks, black pants and black shoes.

“They supported me throughout all of this and without them I wouldn’t have gotten through it, friends and family,” Alexander said, “It’s a blessing and I’m still soaking it all in.”

The night before the event, the class of new members traveled around Bloomington, from Briscoe Quad to the Quarry Apartments, to recite information about the fraternity and do greetings in small public performances.

their identity.

The probate itself provided an opportunity for the IU black community as a whole to come together and celebrate black excellence.

“In most of the things I do on campus, there are not a lot of opportunities to get that many black people to come together and focus only on uplifting each other,” sophomore and audience member Michael Utley said. “They are very in tune with their identity and very poised. Not just the Alphas but all the black greeks.”

How to avoid theft on extended break

By Ben Price beprice@iu.edu | @bbenpprice54

As students begin to leave for spring break and face-toface class cancellations due to COVID-19, the IUPolice Department and the Bloomington Police Department provide tips on how students can prevent burglaries while they are gone.

“The main thing I tell students is if you can make your apartment look like there is somebody there, that’s the best thing to do,” IUPD Deputy Chief Shannon Bunger said.

He recommends students put timers on their lights and make them come on at different times everyday throughout the break. They can stop mail from coming in so it doesn’t pile up, or have a trusted neighbor pick it up for you.

“People who are breaking in are generally locals,” Bunger said. “They know where the students live.”

If the property is an IU rental, students can contact IUPD and they will send out extra patrols knowing that people in that house are gone, Bunger said.

“Greek housing, because that is on campus, our officers are patrolling that constantly,” Bunger said. “The fraternity

CLAIRE LIVINGSTON | IDS

Houses are seen Jan. 26 on South Glasgow Circle in Bloomington. The IU Police Department and the Bloomington Police Department have provided tips on how students can prevent burglaries while they are gone.

and sorority houses are pretty secure.”

If a student comes back to campus and their home has been broken into, they should not go inside. Instead students should call IUPD or BPD and let them clear the house first, Bunger said.

Bunger also said students should not leave anything that is valuable in plain sight in a car and try to leave the car parked under a streetlight.

Bunger said if students own a bike, scooter or skateboard, they should take it with

them or put it in a safe place, such as their room.

“If you leave it outside, there’s a good chance it won’t be there when you get back,” Bunger said.

BPD Capt. Ryan Pedigo said in an email that many of the tips that BPD provides students are not used, which results in them becoming victims of burglaries and thefts.

Students should put valuables away and ensure doors and windows are locked prior to leaving, according to the email.

Junior Tatum Barton, who lives in a house off campus in a highly populated student area, said she is comfortable in the area that she lives in and that there haven’t been any major robberies in that area. But her and her roommates still take precautionary measures before leaving campus for breaks.

“I’m not super concerned,” Barton said. “But my roommates and I always make sure that we lock up important things and put anything valuable out of sight.”

WHO declares coronavirus a ‘pandemic’ WASHINGTON - The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “pandemic.”

“WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

The WHO has not declared an international pandemic since 2009 after the outbreak of then-novel H1N1 virus.

Health experts and officials are still trying to grapple with this new coronavirus, which originated at a wildlife market in China’s Hubei province. It has rattled industries and stock markets worldwide and infected more than 121,000 and killed at least 4,373, largely the elderly with underlying health conditions.

The United Nations

agency in late February increased the risk assessment from “high” to “very high.”

Since then, the number of cases outside China has soared. In Italy, more than 10,000 cases have surfaced and 600 have died. The European nation remains on lockdown and expects to see more confirmed cases.

Wednesday morning, Chancellor Angela Merkel said as much as 70% of the German population was likely to become infected. She recommended cancellation of large events. In the United States, more than 1,000 cases have been confirmed, with Washington state, New York and California seeing the largest clusters.

As testing expands, the number of cases is likely to grow. Experts surmise that, as of March 1, about 1,000 to 10,000 people nationwide were already unknowingly infected.

ALLYSON’S ANGLE

Editors Abby Malala and Tom Sweeney opinion@idsnews.com

THE BRYCE IS RIGHT

Indiana sales laws are anti-woman Bryce Greene, he/him is a senior in informatics.

Curtis Hill must face clear consequences Allyson McBride, she/her is a sophomore in English and political science.

Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill might have his law license suspended because he allegedly groped a state representative and three legislative staffers at a party in 2018. If his license is suspended following a state Supreme Court decision, he might be forced out of office and Gov. Eric Holcomb could appoint his replacement.

However, there is no precedent for an attorney general’s license being suspended, and Hill could attempt to remain in office and run for re-election.

Hill should not be allowed to continue as the attorney general. This kind of predatory behavior is unacceptable for an attorney general.

Ethics aside, it is unthinkable that an attorney general could remain in office with a suspended law license.

Holcomb and the two Republican statehouse leaders called on Hill to resign in 2018 in response to the allegations. Hill denied any wrongdoing and refused to step down from his elected position.

However, it is unclear if Hill could be impeached for incapacity or negligence because the attorney general is not explicitly listed

as a state officer in Indiana’s constitution.

A special prosecutor declined to pursue criminal charges against Hill in October. The special prosecutor told the Associated Press that he believed the women, but they could not meet the burden of proof.

A civil lawsuit filed against Hill by the four women who alleged Hill groped them was dismissed in federal court last week.

A federal judge said his alleged sexual misconduct, while described as reprehensible, did not meet the legal standard for the lawsuit.

An Indiana Supreme Court disciplinary panel, however, examined the accusations last year and recommended a two-year law license suspension. The panel cited professional misconduct because Hill allegedly committed misdemeanor battery against the four women and felony sexual battery against one of them.

Former state Supreme Court Justice Myra Selby issued a report last month recommending that Hill’s law license be suspended for 60 days without automatic reinstatement.

Hill’s suspension is up to the state Supreme Court, which does not have a deadline to make a decision. Under Indiana law, the attorney general must

be duly licensed to practice law in Indiana, but it is unclear whether a suspension would violate this requirement.

Practicing law is an important part of the attorney general’s job, and they should always have the ability to represent the state in legal matters. A suspension would violate this notion, even if only temporarily.

An amendment to Senate Bill 178 would resolve this confusion by making an attorney general ineligible for office if disbarred or suspended for more than 30 days during a term or in the last five years before taking office.

If it passes and the state Supreme Court suspends Hill’s license, there would be a vacancy for the position and Hill would not be able to run again for five years.

The amendment passed in the House but failed in the Senate on Thursday.

Now, the bill will go to a conference committee to determine what happens next. The legislative session is set to end Wednesday, so lawmakers must act quickly. Holcomb has already said he would sign the bill if it is passed.

The General Assembly should pass the amendment because there should be a clear process for removing all elected officials from office, including the

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Attorney General Curtis Hill allegedly groped a state representative and three legislative staffers at a party.

attorney general. Officials need to be held accountable for their actions.

The state’s top lawyer should not be someone credibly accused of sexually harassing women.

“It makes a difference when he engages in what, to the lay person, looks like an unlawful manner,” IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law professor Jennifer Drobac told the Associated Press. “It also sets a horrible example for other people in the state.”

If this amendment is not passed and Hill’s license is suspended, Indiana could not only have an attorney general who has been sanctioned for professional misconduct, but also an attorney general who can’t even practice law.

If the state health commissioner’s medical license was suspended, would you want them to remain in office? Hoosiers deserve an attorney general who is qualified for the job.

The General Assembly should enact legislation that would make the requirements to be attorney general explicitly clear. It’s just common sense. allymcbr@iu.edu

Late last year, Indiana Democratic Rep. Carey Hamilton introduced a bill that would eliminate the sales tax on feminine hygiene products and diapers, often dubbed the “tampon tax.”

Indiana is one of 31 states that still levies a sales tax on women for buying essential feminine products and parents for buying diapers.

Though the bill did not make it past the state Senate, it is indicative of the fight for equity under the tax code.

Indiana women made 75 cents for every dollar their male counterparts made according to data from 2018.

This pay differential makes this regressive tampon tax inherently anti-woman. Even if we remove the sales tax for menstrual products, the sales tax itself still unfairly targets Indiana’s low-income.

Indiana already exempts groceries, newspapers and medical services from the sales tax. But everyday purchases of average consumers are taxed at a flat rate of 7%.

Given the unequal distribution of wealth and income, this tax takes a higher percentage of low-income people’s income when making purchases.

Unlike income taxes, which are scaled based on the taxpayer’s income, the sales tax applies the same rate to the rich and low-income alike. Indiana is extremely fond of using this method of taxation. At 7% Indiana has the second-highest sales taxes in the country, surpassed only by California.

In 2008, the Indiana state legislature overhauled the state’s tax codes to make them more regressive. The state imposed a 1% cap on residential property taxes.

This meant that the owner of a $500,000 home was limited

to only paying $5,000 a year in property taxes.

Property taxes are generally a more progressive form of taxation since they scale according to the property wealth of the taxpayer. This property tax cut cost schools an estimated $275 million a year. At the same time, the legislature increased the regressive sales tax from 6% to 7%, shifting some of the tax burden from real estate owners to everyday people making everyday purchases. So while property owners save hundreds of millions, women are forced to pay an extra 50 cents for a seven-dollar box of tampons.

This isn’t the only regressive tax scheme Indiana has adopted. Right now in Indiana, a person making $25,000 would pay the same 3.4% state income tax rate as the richest person in the state.

Adding income brackets with higher tax rates would go a long way toward raising money for the state while lessening the burden on the low-income. Several other states have more progressive income taxes and do not rely so heavily on flat sales taxes to fund the government. If other states can do it, Indiana has no excuse.

HB 1226 is awaiting a hearing from the state Ways and Means Committee. Passing HB 1226 would go a long way in addressing Indiana’s gender hygiene gap and lift an undue burden on Indiana’s poor women. Addressing the larger problem of regressive sales taxes would lift the burden even more for Hoosiers struggling to get by.

It is cruel to force the most vulnerable of us to shoulder a disproportionate share of the tax load. Indiana legislators must start a conversation about how their state treats those who are marginalized. greenebj@iu.edu

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Goodin struck out 14 batters to set a new career high and threw her 12th straight complete game.

She said her pitches were working well for her, and being able to mix different pitches in helped her performance.

Miami only managed two hits off Goodin, with one coming in the first inning and one coming in the seventh. Neither batter advanced past first.

Goodin’s only walk, which came with two outs in the sixth, broke a streak of 15 consecutive batters retired.

Goodin said she threw in the bullpen between innings to make sure her pitches were still working but never worried about the game being scoreless.

“My only thought process that whole time was that I knew we were going to score,” Goodin said.

The Hoosiers had several opportunities to score runs early in the game. In the second inning, senior Bella Norton singled. Sophomore Tete Hart pinch ran for Nor-

ton and stole second.

Vierstra walked two to load the bases, but Miami’s left fielder, senior Hannah Obrey, made a diving catch to end the threat.

Obrey made another sliding catch to rob junior Grayson Radcliffe of a hit in the sixth.

Radcliffe was left in scoring position in the first inning after she hit a single to the left side and stole second.

IU came out running, stealing two bases in the early innings, but Stanton said she wanted to go with a different game plan in the seventh after Lambert walked.

“We’re going to run any time we get on and have a chance to do that,” Stanton said. “It was uncharacteristic what we did there in the bottom of the inning.”

IU came into the game fifth in the nation in steals per game at 2.44.

The Hoosiers will look to carry the momentum into their final tournament of the regular season in Madeira Beach, Florida, where they will play six games over three days.

‘This was my year’ IU wrestler Brock Hudkins learns from setbacks

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

All Brock Hudkins wanted to do was get up. The IU junior wrestler tried with every bit of energy in his body. If Hudkins stood up, he knew he would win the match.

Instead, Hudkins clutched his left knee after a scramble with Princeton University’s No. 3 Patrick Glory in late December .

There was twisting and turning. Limbs from both wrestlers stretched in every direction, and Hudkins pivoted his body to score the winning takedown. In the whirlwind of competition, Glory bent Hudkin’s left leg.

Hudkins’ torso kept moving forward. His leg didn’t.

“This ain’t good,” the announcer called out.

Hudkins pounded the mat with his right fist and rocked on his back. He dug his head into the solid foam material.

He didn’t want to come off of the mat, but he couldn’t move his leg. It felt like it was on fire. Later, he learned that if he would have cranked his knee a centimeter more, he would have severed a nerve.

IU trainer Kyle Winters crouched next to Hudkins. He told Hudkins to take off his ankle bands and they’d move to the locker room. There would be no standing up. The match was over.

Hudkins draped his arms around Winters and IU head coach Angel Escobedo to steady himself. Winters on his left, and Escobedo on his right as Hudkins’ legs dangled in the air. His left leg was limp.

Hudkins was in the semifinals of the Midlands Championships on Dec. 30 when he suffered the knee injury that ended his season. He was ranked No. 6 in the country in the 125-pound weight class when he saw his junior year fade away. There was never an official diagnosis for the injury.

At the beginning of the season, Hudkins was locked in a competition with junior Liam Cronin for the starting spot at 125 pounds .

Cronin was established. He had been on campus since 2016.

He was there when Escobedo and his staff took over two years ago.

Hudkins is in his first year with the program, having transferred from Northern Illinois University and spending three years in DeKalb, Illinois. He was adjusting to a new campus and new routine.

IZZY MYSZAK | IDS

Members of the IU wrestling team cheer on their teammates Nov. 22 at Wilkinson Hall. Brock Hudkins suffered a season ending injury.

At the beginning of the season, Escobedo said whoever wrestled at 125 pounds, whether it was Cronin or Hudkins, would be an All-American. Hudkins ended up earning the starting bid.

In the first tournament of the season in November, Hudkins showed why the coaching staff brought him to Bloomington. He went a perfect 5-0 on the weekend, including a win over a top10 wrestler, on his way to a tournament championship.

After the match, Hudkins gripped a sweatshirt with white lettering that read “Michigan State Open Champion” as a black beanie sat on his head. He grinned for the cameras.

Hudkins shot up the rankings after taking the title. He moved into the top 12 on three major wrestling websites. Everything seemed to be coming together.

He had never been told he was a national title contender at NIU, despite qualifying for the NCAA championships twice. No one said he was going to be an All-American. But, this season had a different feel.

“I was like this was my year, this is my year to win it,” Hudkins said.

Even before his knee injury, Hudkins was forced to watch from the sidelines earlier in the year. He tweaked his ankle. Then, his leg. Escobedo called the aches “bumps and bruises.” The discomfort kept Hudkins out for more than a month. The coaching staff was being cautious so Hudkins would be ready for the

Big Ten season. Meanwhile, his name climbed the national rankings.

Hudkins’ return was set for Dec. 29-30 at the Midlands Championships, a tournament known as one of the most challenging events in the nation.

Hudkins had no problem in his first two matches, shutting out his opponents by a combined score of 15-0.

Then came a true test in No.14 freshman Michael Colaiocco from the University of Pennsylvania. Hudkins prevailed 5-2. Forget the minor injuries. He was storming his way through one of the most prestigious tournaments in the country. Brock was back.

Before those matches, for the first time in his career, he didn’t listen to music when he warmed up. Usually he vibes to ACDC or Hell’s Bells. His go to track is “Now I Do What I Want” by Lil Uzi Vert. He likes to keep a mix of genres.

Even without it, he felt calm.

Collected. He knew exactly what positions he needed to be in to score. Everything came easily.

His streak of success came to a halt in the match with Glory.

Hudkins took the bout into an extra period when he went sprawling on his flank after his knee bent awkwardly.

It took trips to four different doctors to for the Hudkins’ family and they coaching staff to decide that his season was over. After three, he tried to keep hope. Maybe the fourth will say something different. They didn’t.

It’s tough,” Escobedo said.

“Particularly with Brock, seeing the growth that he has had. It’s heartbreaking for him.”

Hudkins sat in the doctors’ office and cried. His girlfriend hugged him. She told him that it was OK. That there would be more opportunities. That it wasn’t the end of the world.

“It was just like ‘Dang, I’m done,’” Hudkins said. “Even though it’s kicked in, it still doesn’t feel real.”

The choice to sit out the remainder of the season was a result of putting his life perspective.

Hudkins could’ve kept wrestling with a high risk of reinjuring his knee. But the decision was made look out for his future. Hudkins wouldn’t need surgery. He wanted to be able to run when he was 30. He wanted to be able to take care of his family. He wanted to be able to play with his kids.

He was looking out for the future papa Hudkins. The future Uncle Brock. The future husband.

The future grandfather.

“The biggest thing that I had to learn is that everything doesn’t need to revolve around wrestling,” Hudkins said.

The conference season has gone by without Hudkins on the mat. Outwardly, he thinks he’s handling it well. But internally, he’s struggling.

“Sometimes you have to humble yourself,” Hudkins said.

“I don’t think I’m cocky but just thinking that you’re indestructible and then something like that comes along, it makes you realize

that your season can be taken just like that.”

He’s learned to release his competitive spirit in a different way. He’s at practice every day watching Cronin and freshman Cayden Rooks. If he sees a problem with technique, he yells it out. Escobedo said Hudkins is an extra coach.

At matches, Hudkins traded in his singlet for a canvas-colored IU hat that he dons on the bench.

He swings his leg in a bulky knee brace instead of lacing up wrestling shoes. He cups his hands around his mouth and shouts advice. He twirls his pointer finger, signaling for Cronin to push the tempo. “ As time has gone on and he has healed, I see a different spark in him,” Escobedo said. “Once you start coaching this sport, you start to realize what works and what doesn’t work. You have to understand the other side of it.”

Hudkins has considered coaching after his career is over.

He loves giving back. He enjoys learning and teaching the mechanics of wrestling.

When he assists Cronin and Rooks it will only help him in the long run. Those are the guys that he’ll be wrestling with when he comes backin a few months.

They’ll be the ones driving him to be a national champion.

As for now, Hudkins is sculpting his upper body and has started to dive into some leg workouts, but he’s being careful. He’s in for recovery treatment up to three times a day as he tries to get his range of motion back and has made an effort to get 8-9 hours of sleep per night. He’s optimistic he’ll be back on the mat in a couple of months.

The coaching staff is trying to get Hudkins a medical redshirt, which would leave him with two more years to wear the cream and crimson. He’s planning to stay in Bloomington over the summer to train. He wants to get more repetitions in training with Escobedo, who was a four-time All-American himself.

And then will come next year.

A knee brace will remind him of the past. Maybe there will be music. Maybe there won’t. But, Hudkins is looking ahead with one vision.

“National champ,” Hudkins said. “That’s it. The goal is to be the best version of myself on and off of the mat. I know I can do it.”

And with that, on an ailing left knee, Hudkins got up.

Little 500, Spring Series events to continue for now

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

No decisions or changes have been made to the Little 500 races, qualifications or any other Spring Series event as a result of the coronavirus, race director Andrea Balzano said.

Qualifications are still scheduled for March 28.

IU suspended in-person classes Tuesday for a two-week period following

spring break to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Classes will take place online from March 23 through April 5.

In an email Tuesday, President Michael McRobbie strongly recommended organizers of events of 100 or more people to consider canceling or rescheduling.

The individual time trials April 1 and Miss N Out on April 4 could also be affected by the university’s decision.

IU Athletics won’t change planned events despite coronavirus concerns

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

All IU Athletics practices and home events will continue as planned, and fans will still be allowed to attend on-campus events, according to an email sent by IU Athletic Director Fred Glass Tuesday to department staff and student athletes.

Glass said in the email that he created an Athletics Medical Advisory Group to inform the department about concerns related to the coronavirus. The group is made up of IU Athletics Chief Medical Officer Dr. Andy Hipskind, IU team physician Dr. Larry Rink and infectious disease specialist Dr. Tom Hrismalos.

The Medical Advisory Group will review all pending IU athletic events, Glass said.

The international and domestic travel ban IU announced Tuesday through April 5 doesn’t prohibit travel for official team and individual competition. Planned travel will be reviewed by the Medical Advisory Group and other authorities and still could be canceled, according to the email.

This could affect recruiting, since all other domestic and international travel by

athletics staff is prohibited.

The IU Athletic campus will also remain open. This includes the Excellence Academy, the Wilkinson Performance Center, the Shuel Academic Center, the Tobias Nutrition Center and all training and practice facilities.

The athletic department will determine if any staff members can work from home.

The Big Ten released a statement Saturday afternoon saying all tournaments and championships would continue as scheduled.

The IU athletic department declined to further comment.

Between March 10 and April 5, only one day does not have a scheduled IU Athletic event. The men’s basketball Big Ten Tournament is still set to begin Wednesday night in Indianapolis.

McRobbie said in another email Tuesday that faceto-face classroom teaching would be suspended through April 5.

He strongly encouraged event organizers to cancel or reschedule events through April 6.

IU does not know of any COVID-19 cases on campus.

IU falls 5-4 against Evansville

By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

IU head coach Jeff Mercer’s starting pitcher and catcher both made their IU debut Tuesday against Evansville. Their inexperience showed in a 5-4 loss to the Purple aces.

This was IU’s third straight loss and fourth in the last six games, dropping IU’s record to 8-6. It was IU’s third straight loss and fourth loss in the last six games.

Evansville entered the game with a 4-11 record and was 229th out of 301 in Ratings Percentage Index. The loss could stain IU’s resume for postseason bracket selection.

IU freshman starting pitcher John Modugno struggled in his collegiate debut. Modugno allowed five earned runs over three innings. He walked four batters while striking out only three.

He had one wild pitch and hit one batter. He finished his first game with a 15.00 earned run average.

Ultimately, the four runs

Modugno allowed in the third inning were too much for IU to overcome. IU was down 5-1 in the fourth inning, and the offense failed to bounce back from its poor performance against the University of San Diego last weekend.

The Hoosiers received strong performances from the bullpen with freshman pitcher Nathan Stahl throwing two shutout innings and

senior pitcher Braden Scott adding the final three innings without allowing a run. The two combined to allow just two hits while striking out seven batters and walking one. Those performances gave IU a chance to come back. IU scored two runs in the top of the fourth and one more in the fifth to close the deficit to one run but didn’t score again for the rest of the game. Though the Hoosiers

were not bereft of opportunities, stranding 11 base runners in the game.

Sophomore outfielder Grant Richardson had two of IU’s six hits, the only IU player with multiple hits. Junior third baseman Cole Barr led the IU lineup with two RBIs. Junior catcher Hunter Combs — a transfer from John A. Logan College — started against Evansville for his IU debut. He went 0-2 with one strikeout. Defensively he allowed one passed ball and one stolen base but had no errors. IU’s defense, which has at times struggled, didn’t have a single error in the loss. In their last three games, the Hoosiers have now scored a total of 11 runs and have stranded 30 base runners.

IU will play again against the University of Cincinnati on Wednesday. Freshman David Platt is the scheduled starting pitcher. He has pitched 7 2/3 innings this season out of the bullpen with a 4.70 ERA. First pitch is at 4:05 p.m. at Bart Kaufman Field.

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN

NFL Bachelor Tom Brady will hand his rose to the New England Patriots Bradley Hohulin is a freshman in sports media.

Oh, my gosh — Tom Brady and the Patriots are totally breaking up. At least, that’s what many are speculating after Brady stumbled into a wild card playoff loss following his worst statistical season.

Recent odds suggest the quarterback will make up with the Patriots. However, the Titans, Chargers and Raiders have all been cited as potential rebounds for Brady.

As free agency approaches, faithfuls of each team yearn to be given a rose by the NFL’s most eligible bachelor.

Tennessee Titans The single greatest hurdle in seeing new people is the agony of introductions. If only every pairing were facilitated by a trusty wingman.

That is exactly what Mike Vrabel, Titans head coach and former Patriots linebacker, brings to the speed-dating table.

Brady can rest well knowing he will be taken care of behind Tennessee’s reliable offensive line. Furthermore, having the league’s leading rusher in running back Derrick Henry means Brady won’t always have to wear the spandex pants in the relationship.

Suiting up for his old teammate seems like a no-brainer for Brady, but is it different enough? With a staunch defense yet little production on the receiving end, the key factors separating Tennessee from New England are its youth and warmer climate.

After all, it is never a good look to move on from someone only to go for their younger, hotter doppelgänger.

Los Angeles Chargers What better way to thaw a frozen heart than returning to the sun-soaked state you grew up in?

L.A.offers all the security of coming home. Wideouts Keenan Allen and Mike Williams can catch just about anything Brady throws their

way. Defensive end Joey Bosa commands a top-10 unit that won’t betray Brady when his back is turned on the sideline.

Then again, there is the matter of the ex, Philip Rivers. He is widely considered among the best passers of his era, yet somehow never got to a Super Bowl through 16 years in Southern California. Even with All-Pros such as LaDanian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates on their roster, the Chargers simply couldn’t keep the spark alive with Rivers.

L.A. is undoubtedly attractive, but new romances struggle to get off the ground when weighed down by serious baggage from the past.

Las Vegas Raiders It’s hard to imagine Brady, the clean-cut model of discipline, donning the same colors as linebacker and occasional human torpedo Vontaze Burfict.

The Raiders are easily the least stable of Brady’s options, but any real love ought to keep you guessing. While head coach Jon Gruden has made his fair share of headscratching decisions, those choices once led him to a Lombardi Trophy.

If only Las Vegas weren’t already in a long-term commitment with quarterback Derek Carr, currently on a $125 million contract through 2022.

It is safe to assume that the Raiders would dump Carr

for Brady in a heartbeat, but who wants to be the cause of a messy split? Besides, the 42-year-old Brady hitching up with a wild Las Vegas team when he has a good thing going in New England could reek of a thrill-seeking midlife crisis.

New England Patriots It’s true, you never forget your first. Last season was not the finest verse in Brady’s serenade to New England, but it probably wasn’t the last either.

Like a remorseful boyfriend showing up on the doorstep with flowers and chocolate, head coach Bill Belichick will present a bouquet of undersized slot receivers to Brady and leave him no choice but to take back the Patriots.

There’s a reason Brady and New England were the NFL’s premiere power couple for the better part of two decades.

Belichick knows what Brady wants, and right now Brady is pining for championships.

A fling with a pretty new face might be intriguing to Brady, but I imagine he is looking to settle down and tie the knot with a proven winner.

When Brady lines up in victory formation and drops to one knee, anxious to present a Super Bowl ring to his chosen partner, the parallels should speak for themselves. bhohulin@iu.edu

Tango dancer shifts from beginner to leader

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu

Argentine tango class facilitator Elise Boruvka, 32, said her favorite part of class is when a dancer has an “aha” moment. About a decade ago, she was a participant.

The class is Sundays from 4-6 p.m. in the Georgian Room of the Indiana Memorial Union. Normally, around 12 dancers attend because the class is capped at 12 people for efficiency. The class is organized into six-week sessions, but participants can start anytime as long as there is room. The cost is $30 for students and $45 for nonstudents.

“It kind of came as a natural progression in that as I learned the dance, then the ideas and opportunities to kind of share what I learned with others were available,” Boruvka said.

Boruvka’s dance pursuits began when she was an IU undergraduate student majoring in international studies. She became a member of IU’s Ballroom Dance Club, and in summer 2008 attended a swing dance class for six weeks.

Boruvka said she had wanted to be involved in dance since she was in high school.

“When I came to IU, that was the first opportunity to really explore dancing,” she said.

During the swing dance class, another dancer told Boruvka about a tango class offered by the Bloomington

“Once I started the classes, I really liked how the classes were building on the fundamentals of the dance,” Boruvka said. “Also the community was really friendly and open, so that just really drew me in.”

Boruvka continued to attend the six-week sessions.

cilitator for the class around 2010 or 2011.

She is also a doctoral student majoring in public management.

Boruvka facilitates the tango class with Amaury de Siqueira, one of the founders of the Bloomington Argentine Tango Organization. De Siqueira said he and Boruvka do not think of themselves as teachers, but more as facilitators guiding the class on its tango journey.

“You have to be very flexible in empathizing and understanding,” de Siqueira said. “And Elise has this natural ability to put herself in the position of others and see how she can more effectively help them.”

De Siqueira said the dancers in class often feel that Elise is empathetic.

partnered up with a class member who was left without a partner.

“She’s very patient, super kind,” Seghi said. “She’s an amazing instructor.”

Boruvka showed participants how to walk in tango, which is like gliding or sauntering across the floor. She showed them how to keep their posture, how to use their hips when walking and how to dance with a partner.

Boruvka said tango is not a romantic dance like the media sometimes portrays.

Rather, it is a social dance that comes with a social code.’

When a gentleman wants to ask a woman to dance, he performs a cabeceo by making eye contact with her and nodding his head. If she accepts she will nod back, but if she refuses she will turn her head away, Boruvka said.

The dancers in the class use this code when Boruvka and de Siqueira throw a milonga, a structured social gathering for occasional dancing.

“I felt a lot of comfort in knowing the code before I went to a milonga,” Boruvka said.

Boruvka said during a milonga, everyone starts sitting down and talking while there is tango music playing.

They get up to dance whenever they feel like it, she said.

“There’s no embarrassment about it,” Boruvka said.

“What’s great about it is you have strangers coming together to dance, and they have a wonderful time dancing together.”
