LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ALEX DERYN | IDS
Construction workers operate bulldozers Aug. 21 in front of McNutt Quad. Housing in McNutt Quad will not be made available for some incoming freshmen in the 2019 fall semester.
MOLD PREVENTS MOVE-IN Renovations go on as mold-affected dorms McNutt, Foster and Teter close for the year. “It is our goal to have all students out of overflow housing during the fall semester and, at the latest, by the start of spring semester.”
By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94
Moving into a dorm room is a quintessential college experience. But the presence of mold in IU dorms means some students in the class of 2023 won’t have traditional rooms. Mold has been a problem at IU for a few years, with small outbreaks in 2016 and 2017 in Teter Quad and McNutt Quad. The mold problem reached its climax in 2018 when several students in McNutt, Foster Quad, Teter and Ashton Center reported getting sick. After inspections, many rooms were found to have mold somewhere in the room or ventilation system. Many students in McNutt and Foster were relocated to other housing, and the university closed the two residence halls for the 2019-2020 school year, accelerating the planned renovation timeline. Although McNutt, Foster and half of Teter are closed to students for the next year, Residential Programs and Services is working to

create adequate room for all incoming freshmen. “One of the ways we managed was that Union Street Apartments, which up until last year used to be exclusively for upperclassmen, will now house first year students,” said Sara Ivey Lucas, the RPS interim director for Residential Life. Previously, Union Street had
only eight staff members, but in an effort to create the residence hall environment for freshmen, the apartment complex added 18 staff members, including Resident Assistants, Ivey Lucas said. Unfortunately, not all first-year students are going to be entering IU with permanent housing. Ivey Lucas said roughly 215 stu-
dents will be temporarily placed in overflow housing located in Eigenmann Hall, Spruce Hall, Forest Quad and Briscoe Quad. Another change to dorm rosters this year is the move of the Kelley Living Learning Community and the Hoosier Link community to Eigenmann. RPS Interim Director Luke Leftwich said the KLLC will take up six floors and house roughly 500 students. The official census will take place on Labor Day, but David Johnson, the vice provost of Enrollment Management, said unofficial numbers show over 8,200 freshman will be heading to cam-

WOMEN’S SOCCER
IU opens the season on the road against UNC By Will Trubshaw wtrubsha@iu.edu | @Willtrubs
The 2019 campaign for IU women’s soccer begins with perhaps the biggest test of the season. They will do so with the help of a different coaching staff, including a new head coach and a healthy dose of fresh faces on the pitch Thursday from Chapel Hill, North Carolina against No. 2 University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. “I think we’ve got a lot of young talent,” IU Coach Erwin van Bennekom said. “Some players that we didn’t really know because they were recruited by the old staff, and some players that we brought in late. I think that combination is going to be a huge part of what we do in the future. This year obviously they’re

young... but age has nothing to do with performance.” The Hoosier’s youth move-
ment will have big shoes to fill, with eight seniors from last year’s 8-8-2 squad all graduated, includ-
ing their three leading goal scorers: Abby Allen with eight, Mykayla Brown with six, Annelie Leitner four. One player that has jumped out early to van Bennekom is freshman midfielder Alaina Kalin. “Alaina Kalin has really stepped up. "She’s a freshman that doesn’t really play like a freshman,” van Bennekom said. Another key for the Hoosiers will be the leadership of the elder statesmen of the squad, senior defender Allison Jorden and newly minted captain and midfielder senior Chandra Davidson. “Channy is a different level,” van Bennekom said. “She’s worked with some special players in the past, and Channy has that it-factor that we can’t teach. Allison Jorden is a rock, her mentality and aerial quality is insane.” SEE SOCCER, PAGE 6
