INDIANAPOLIS— resident Bill Clinton’s enigmatic charm seemed to sedate people in a sweaty room in a strip mall Tuesday as he delivered a campaign speech for his wife, Hillary Clinton. “If you want to make America great again, vote for Hillary,” Bill said. This marked the first major Indiana stop for Hillary’s presidential campaign. The campaign is a family affair: Bill spoke in Hillary’s campaign office in Indianapolis while Hillary toured a steel mill in Hammond, Indiana. This Friday, Hillary’s daughter, Chelsea Clinton, will be in Indianapolis. Hillary’s chances of snagging the Democratic nomination depend heavily on the next few primaries, including Indiana’s, which is next Tuesday. Hillary has 2,141 pledged delegates

and superdelegates after five states had their primaries Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press. Bernie Sanders has 1,321. Outside, two protesters held signs, including one that read, “CLINTONS ARE CRIMINALS.” But inside, Bill’s deep southern drawl and touting of Indiana as America’s “poster-child” were met with cheers. He went down the policy laundry list: Healthcare. Immigration. Wall Street. College tuition. Without saying Bernie Sanders’ name, Bill criticized Hillary’s opponent’s proposal for free college tuition. Though free college sounds great, he said, it’s just not practical when states have to pay a third of the cost. “What are the chances a state like Indiana would do that?” Bill said.
Bill explained his wife’s plan to give college graduates who pursue public service jobs a tax-free $20,000. He also shared Hillary’s plan to provide graduates with 20-year mortgages. He said kids battling 9-percent interest rates are “whipsaws” between work and school. As for the job market itself, Bill made an example of an Indiana company. Bill name-dropped Carrier, a former Anderson, Indiana-based company that grossed almost $3 million last year. Carrier employed 1,400 Hoosiers before it announced its move to Mexico. “Too many companies are sending 80 to 90 percent of their profits to executives,” Bill said. In Hillary’s America, companies that fairly distribute profit will receive tax benefits, he said. “So,” Bill said after about 45 minutes of SEE CLINTON, PAGE 10

Hoosiers blanked in Indy by Fighting Irish By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali
It was a game of missed opportunities Tuesday for the Hoosiers, who failed to string together quality atbats in key situations as Notre Dame shut out IU for the second time in three games. Coming off a weekend series full of promise at Michigan State, the Hoosiers fell behind from the start and never recovered. The Fighting Irish, avenging their loss from last year, scored four runs off two long balls to defeat the Hoosiers 5-0 at Victory Field in Indianapolis. “We had so many Hoosier fans come out tonight to support us in the rain and you would like to play better,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said. “That’s one of the big things — we just would like to put a better game out there for our fans to see.”
0-5 A promising start for the Hoosiers (23-16, 8-4) in the first inning quickly dissolved when junior first baseman Austin Cangelosi popped out to end the inning and stranded two Hoosiers on base. Notre Dame (24-15, 9-10), on the other hand, wasted no time to jump all over IU. Designated hitter Ricky Sanchez scorched a one out double right center. Outfielder Zak Kutsulis followed Sanchez in the order and on the very next at-bat drove him in on a RBI single to take an early 1-0 lead. Junior starting pitcher Luke Stephenson earned his third straight midweek start for the Hoosiers and made just one costly mistake for the SEE BASEBALL, PAGE 10

Two animals, different in size, shape and personality, are best friends in Mo Willems’ children’s book series “Elephant and Piggie.” In Cardinal Stage’s production of “Elephant and Piggie’s ‘We Are in a Play!’,” the characters come to life beneath the flashing lights of a vaudeville stage. The show combines stories from six of the “Elephant and Piggie” books, each of which discusses friendship and feelings. “Friendship is not a child issue, it is a people issue,” Willems
said in the Monroe County Public Library’s study guide for the play. “Since children are, in fact, people, it seemed an appropriate topic for a few funny stories.” Music Director Ryan O’Connell said Cardinal Stage is making sure to treat children as people. They want to meet children at their level. “It’s really easy to put on this helium voice in children’s theater,” said O’Connell, a 2011 IU Jacobs School of Music alumnus. “We don’t want to do that here because we feel like that’s talking down to kids.” Although they avoid a condescending tone, cast member Lola
BPD indicates no foul play for human bones found Tuesday From IDS reports
the bright, happy tone of a children’s show is a breath of fresh air for him. A 2009 IU alumnus, Cinal’s scenic design background was opera and dark, harsh show atmospheres. “I have the book source material to draw inspiration from, but a lot of it is talking with the director and seeing how we can bring
After more than six hours of investigating the human remains found in southwest Bloomington, forensic anthropologists reported Tuesday the scene did not indicate foul play. A Duke Energy electrical employee found the skeletal remains on the ground on the 1600 block of S. Rogers Street at about 2:30 p.m. Monday, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said. The remains, which mostly consist of bones, were not concealed, Kellams said. The electrical worker found them on private property while working on lines in the area. Little is known about the race, gender or age of the person, or the cause of death. But, “there’s no indication that this would be Lauren Spierer,” Kellams said in reference to the IU student who’s been missing since 2011. Detectives are continuing to investigate any possible connections to other missing person’s reports in the area, according to a press release. Monroe County Coroner Nicole Meyer requested the assistance of forensic anthropologists from the University of Indianapolis to investigate the remains. The team of anthropologists

Cardinal Stage turns children’s series into play By Maia Rabenold
Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will visit campus at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the IU Auditorium for a rally before the May 3 Indiana presidential primary. The rally is not ticketed and will be first come, first served. The auditorium’s capacity is about 3,100. Doors open at 5 p.m. “Bernie Sanders is very popular with young people,” said Audrey Todd, a junior who has coordinated with the Sanders campaign. “He wants to come and meet students and make sure we all get out to vote.” This is the first time a presidential candidate will visit Bloomington this election cycle. President Barack Obama visited Bloomington in 2008 during his first campaign. Rally-goers should not bring bags to the event and limit themselves to essential items like cell phones and keys, according to a press release. Caleb Bauer, president of Students for Bernie Sanders at IU, will introduce Sanders at the rally. The Sanders campaign reached out to Bauer on Sunday night about a rally. The event was organized within a day, Bauer said. The rally was supposed to be either in Dunn Meadow or Woodlawn Field but will be inside instead because of the chance of rain, Bauer said. Because Sanders is running a 50-state campaign, Bauer said he feels Indiana’s primary this year is more significant than in previous elections. Indiana’s presidential primary is Tuesday and Sanders trails Hillary Clinton in delegates nationally. IU students can vote in the Indiana primary if they have already registered to vote in Monroe County and possess state-issued identification. IU identification cards meet the statemandated criteria. Registered voters in Monroe County can cast an early ballot 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Friday at 401 W. Seventh St. Suite 100 and 401 N. Morton St. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 3.
Kennedy said they do exaggerate their movements and songs to make it comedic for the children. “It’s always so great seeing how happy they are and seeing their reactions,” Kennedy said. “Sometimes adult audiences just sit there. When you have kid audiences, they’re always laughing.” Child audiences will be especially engaged with Elephant and Piggie because they are such beloved characters, O’Connell said. When Reid Henderson, who plays Elephant, went to the library to research the books, all 60 were checked out. Set designer Shane Cinal said
