PHA tackles mental health

A twist IDS on tradition

By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu | @sarahhhgardner

Bella Shu, Panhellenic Association vice president of personal development, said she believes in the power of numbers. With this belief in mind, she said she thinks her most recent work with the PHA will truly be able to make a difference.

The PHA has just created a mental health committee. This initiative, like Safe Sisters or the Body Project, is meant to bring greater attention and awareness to issues many college students face, Shu said.

“I think that for the past few years, IU has done a better job of handling issues like sexual assault, but mental health is still something that often gets swept under the rug,” Shu said. “So we wanted to discuss how we can address it within our own community.”

Seventy members from 16 different sorority chapters on campus attended the committee’s first meeting. Though the structure and form of the committee have not been fully laid out yet, the large amount of initial interest is encouraging, Shu said.

The plan for now is to model the committee after PHA’s Safe Sisters, which focuses on sexual assault, or the Body Project, which focuses on body image, by creating a training program for new members and bringing in educational speakers to talk about different aspects of mental health, Shu said.

“All of these programs are clearly separate entities, but serve similar purposes,” said Mackenzie Clinger, a junior in Alpha Omicron Pi who is a member of the new committee. “So while we don’t want to take away from what Safe Sisters and the Body Project are doing, it makes sense to partner with them and come together to create different events with them.”

Another goal is for members of the committee to be everyday points of contact for sorority chapter members, said Rose Lowery, a member of the committee from Kappa Delta. It is easier to create a wider dialogue about mental health issues by starting small with friends and classmates, she said.

Dancers from the cast of “The Nutcracker” circle up during a dress rehearsal Monday night in the Musical Arts Center. The show opens Dec. 3 and has shows through Dec. 6.

Jacobs to continue tradition, present holiday classic ‘The Nutcracker’

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu | @bemcafee24601

In a large parlor, guests danced and children opened gifts while a young girl named Clara was given a nutcracker from her godfather, Herr Drosselmeyer. Clara danced with her nutcracker clasped in her arms as the guests celebrated at the Christmas party onstage at the Musical Arts Center during Monday’s dress rehearsal of “The Nutcracker.”

The IU Opera & Ballet Theatre will perform Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker” at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3-5 and at 2 p.m. Dec. 5 and 6.

In this show, toys come to life and battle giant mice. Clara and Herr Drosselmeyer journey to magical lands populated by characters such as the Snow Queen and the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Michael Vernon, the chair of the ballet department, is

the choreographer of the production.

This is the ninth year his version of “The Nutcracker” will be staged at IU. Vernon said the ballet is his interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s music both choreographically and dramatically.

Although he has been involved with many productions of “The Nutcracker” in various places since the 1980s, Vernon said the different casts each year at IU make the traditional ballet interesting. It allows each production to be just a little bit different from year to year.

“It’s nice to see dancers who started in the corps de ballet, or even less than that, grow and work their way into more important parts,” Vernon said.

“I think that’s what I enjoy the most.”

“The Nutcracker” is performed every year at IU, but Vernon said there is always room for changes. For example,

he said, he sometimes changes the choreography based on the specific dancer’s skills and attributes.

“It’s like a house — I’m always refinishing,” Vernon said.

“I’m always adding little touches and changing little moments that are awkward or that I didn’t like.”

Vernon said he thinks the classic ballet is popular because it is a seasonal ballet about a child.

The ballet can be viewed for its literal story line, but it can also be seen as allegorical, he said.

“Basically, it’s about a young girl’s journey and her dreams — her dreams and aspirations to become a beautiful woman,” Vernon said.

Vernon said he is proud of the production and the dancers.

It is hard to tell they are students, and it looks like a professional ballet company, he said.

“It’s amazing to be trusted with such a serious role,” Perhach said.

Although she has danced the role before, Perhach said it is different this year because she has a new perspective that has allowed her to refine her performance.

Perhach said getting to work with different partners keeps her performance fresh.

Moren faces familiar foe as IU takes on Georgia Tech eebailey@indiana.edu | @TheTeddyBailey

IU (4-2) vs. Georgia Tech (5-2) 7 p.m. Dec. 2, Assembly Hall

There will be a bit of familiarity in the air Wednesday night when IU takes on Georgia Tech in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge at Assembly Hall.

IU Coach Teri Moren and Georgia Tech Coach MaChelle Joseph were college teammates at Purdue before Joseph joined Georgia Tech’s staff as an assistant coach from 2007-10.

Wednesday night’s inter-conference clash, however, is not about Moren, the second-year skipper said.

“It’s not a lot of fun,” Moren said.

“MaChelle is a dear friend of mine, we vacation together and stay in touch. It’s never fun to have to play one of your friends. For me, it will be a bit of a miserable 40 minutes.

When the ball goes up, all bets are off. It’s not about MaChelle and I — it’s about our teams.”

The Yellow Jackets will travel to Bloomington after playing in Mexico during the Thanksgiving holiday. While in Mexico, Georgia Tech fell to Northern Iowa before

defeating High Point in a consolation game. Georgia Tech has a 5-2 record, with its only other defeat coming at the hands of in-state foe Georgia earlier in the season. A year ago, the Jackets qualified for the WNIT after completing a 1915 season with a 7-9 mark in ACC play.

IU will return to Assembly Hall after a shaky performance in the Vanderbilt Thanksgiving Tournament. IU fell to Ohio University in the opening round after struggling offensively down the stretch before shooting a season-high 70.4 percent in a blowout win against Austin Peay.

“It feels good to be back,” Moren said. “We came off a road trip where we split, but I’m still a little bitter with how poorly we played against Ohio. I would like us to come in with the same mindset we did against Austin Peay.”

Fake Facebook headline points to social media problems

By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu

The headline was fake. “Spencer set to be first Indiana town to take in 200 Syrian refugees.”

The social media clicks, comments and shares, however, were real.

November 21, 3:09 p.m. “There goes small town down the drain.”

November 21, 7:19 p.m. “Yall better teach your women to shoot first and ask questions later.”

November 24, 11:04 a.m.

“Going to be interesting to see what kind of shithole this town will turn into. 5 years from now unemployment? Crime rate?”

If any of these Facebook users had clicked on the link, they would have quickly been informed that the article wasn’t real.

Had they clicked on the link before pressing share and typing racist comments, the web page would have told them they had been pranked by Spencer native Steve Sears.

“With Facebook and one click or share, it’s so easy for misinformation to spread,” Sears, 24, said.

“In this instance, it was totally unintentional.”

What he said had begun as an innocent joke between friends spread more quickly than Sears ever imagined, rattled the town of

Spencer and caused Sears’ inbox to flood with messages.

This example of unfiltered sharing, hateful reactions and pranks gone awry is indicative of the more dangerous side of social media, experts said.

“One of the things about social media is how we share on it so easily,” IU Media School assistant professor Jessica Gall Myrick said.

“These share buttons encourage us to share, so we do it fast and we often do it without thinking.”

Myrick studies the effect of emotions on media processes.

She said people are often multitasking while using social media and might not fully consider what

they’re doing.

“A media story can evoke our emotions in just a title,” she said.

“Your emotions motivate you to take action and the easiest action to do is to share.”

Nearly 800 people shared Sears’ post, which had been created with the website shareonfb.com. The website asks for only a photo, a headline and a tagline to generate a fake news clip for Facebook.

In the time it was online, Sears’ article was viewed about 10,100 times.

His friend, the person the prank was actually meant for, thought it was funny.

Other people did not.

“I believe this post was made just to elicit hatred and divisiveness and create a rumor that will hurt the town,” Dean Bruce, a town board member for 16 years, wrote on the Town of Spencer Facebook page. “I don’t think there’s any place for this sort of thing and have contacted Steve Sears to take this down.”

Sears told Bruce he couldn’t take it down; he didn’t control the site.

Bruce told him he was being “obtuse.”

“If you’re not going to take it down, please let me know so I can SEE FACEBOOK, PAGE 10

BFC talks general education

By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich

The Bloomington Faculty Council met Tuesday for its final meeting this semester.

The agenda included a first reading of a proposal to create a BFC International Affairs Committee and a general education report.

Co-Chairs of the General Education Committee Dennis Groth, vice provost for undergraduate education, and Jonathan Michaelsen gave the general education report.

The report provided background on the number of undergraduates, the sources of credit upon entry and the top 15 courses prior to fall 2015 that students received credit for upon coming to IU. It also showed evidence of students coming into their first year with more credits during the past four years.

This brought up questions among the council about whether this affected students’ education at IU because students might not be receiving the same

curriculum in a high school course as those who take the course at IU. However, many council members said this could give students more opportunities to have a richer education by taking different credits and adding different minors and majors.

“Even though students are bringing in sufficient credit, they don’t tend to take less credit,” Groth said.

Provost Lauren Robel agreed, saying this creates opportunities for faculty and students.

“We might be able to aim a little higher of ourselves,” Robel said.

The council also discussed the general education assessment, which is the way the general education curriculum is assessed.

Every year since the 2011-2012 academic year, a new portion of general education is assessed.

During the 2015-2016 academic year, the social and historical studies will be assessed.

The process for assessing involves choosing one general education class and picking one assignment to

use to provide assessment data.

The general education committee consists of 65 voting faculty who review and approve new course proposals.

Of 70 courses proposed last year, the committee approved 55 of them. There were 964 general education courses approved for the 2015-16 year.

Professors Alex Tanford and Bryan McCormick, cochairs of the Long Range Planning Committee, also led the first reading of the proposed creation of the International Affairs Committee.

The Long Range Planning Committee began discussing this proposal last year after looking at both the IU and IU-Bloomington bicentennial strategic plans.

Tanford said the word “international” showed up on almost every page of both documents. Because of this, the committee felt an International Affairs Committee should be created.

“It is clearly a long-term focus of the University in the next phase of what we do,” Tanford added.

The International Affairs Committee will review and propose policies and engage in a collaborative dialogue with administrators about international matters affecting faculty on the Bloomington campus, according to the agenda.

Such matters include study abroad programs, dual degree programs, admission of international students and the campus climate for international students and faculty, among others.

Tanford stressed that this committee will be a coordinating structure and work many with other committees.

“This recommendation really comes from the idea that if this is really part of the strategic plan ... we really need to have some sort of coordinated, identified faculty governance structure that has responsibility for making recommendations and dealing with issues,” McCormick said.

Because this was the first reading of this proposal, the council will vote on whether to pass it at its next meeting Jan. 19.

IU Ethics Bowl Team reaches nationals From IDS reports

The IU Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl team will attend the national championship competition for the second time in a row Feb. 21, 2016, in Reston, Virginia.

IU qualified for the national championship with a fourth-place showing at the Central States Regional Ethics Bowl, which took place Nov. 21, at Marian University in Indianapolis, according to a Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions press release.

IU sent two teams to the regional Ethics Bowl, and from there the top five universities advanced to the national championship. Both

teams competed in a series of three matches against other universities.

IU’s teams finished with records of 3–0 and 2–1; the undefeated IU team ranked fourth in total points. Team members are Ali Henke and Nikhil Nandu, the team captains, along with freshmen Seth Carter, Reyan Coskun, Hannah Eli, Jessica Gingles, Daniel Hao, Alex Johnson and Roger Morris, according to the release.

“I’m incredibly proud of this team,” said Coach Joe Bartzel, associate instructor and Ph.D. student in religious studies, in the release. ”Competition at Central States is notoriously tough every year, so for a team of so many newcomers to put on

as strong a showing as they did is a testament to the talent we have on this team.”

The students showed a lot of poise at regionals, and their hard work and positive attitude will carry them a long way at nationals, too, Bartzel said in the release.

Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl is an academic competition in which students offer moral assessments of some of the most complex ethical issues facing society. Unlike debate competitions, Ethics Bowl is a team-based event that emphasizes civil discourse and consensus building, according to the release.

Teams research and develop positions on cases in medicine, technology, professional ethics, inter-

personal relationships and public policy. Teams are judged on their ability to offer clear and concise arguments that identify the central ethical dimensions of the cases under discussion highlight to alternative perspectives.

IU’s Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl team is sponsored by the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions, a research center of the Media School.

The Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl competition is organized by the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics in conjunction with its annual meeting, according to the release.

After the IU Student Association Congress’ passage of a resolution condemning anti-Semitism, the bill’s sponsors and outside supporters hugged and highfived before gathering in the hallway to take a picture to commemorate the moment.

Congressional representatives passed six bills during their last voting meeting of the semester at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Among the resolutions was a previously-considered resolution condemning antiSemitism, which was initially debated and tabled at their meeting Oct. 27.

The bill stated IUSA denounces anti-Semitism as defined by the United States State Department and will not fund or participate in activities that promote anti-Semitism or that “undermine the right of the Jewish people to self-determination.” It also says IUSA executives and Congress members will undergo some form of diversity training that pertains to anti-Semitism.

Jason Shader Smith, representing off-campus residency, sponsored the bill, but it was largely written by Rebekah Molasky, a student who transferred to IU-Bloomington after feeling uncomfortable talking about being Jewish at a school in the South. She is a fellow with StandWithUs, an Israel education organization.

“Coming here and being overwhelmingly welcomed by the Jewish community ... I just wanted to do something that would give back to the community that has given me so much,” Molasky said.

“I really want to thank IUSA for ... being really good allies to the Jewish communities and taking a stand.”

The bill’s authors revised the resolution’s language to address concerns about how the bill might limit free speech against Israel politically as well as whether IUSA was condemning the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement.

BDS is a controversial movement whose supporters want to pressure Israel into ending occupation of Palestine, among other goals. However, the movement is considered anti-Semitic by some entities.

The revised version of the IUSA resolution says the bill does not disallow political criticism of Israel and IUSA is against the political platform of BDS, not against individuals who support BDS. “After the past month of healthy debate and working with people ... we made this bill better for our IU community,” Shader Smith said.

Another resolution passed asks the Office of the Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education to research the possibility of starting a program connecting international students at IU with Bloomington residents.

The resolution referenced the International Friendship Program at Purdue University.

The premise of creating a program like the International Friendship Program is to provide support for in-

ternational students, said Nate Meyers, representative for off-campus residency and primary author of the resolution.

The resolution stated there would be no legal, financial or housing commitment on the part of Bloomington residents but rather asks just for them to interact with the students.

Suggested activities included sharing holiday meals or attending sporting events together.

The resolution also said the program would be voluntary for both the residents and international students.

Helen Woeste, representing off-campus residency, said her family participates in the International Friendship program in West Lafayette, Indiana, and advocated for the bill.

“This is a really great program and everyone I’ve talked to has been extremely supportive of it,” Woeste said.

Two other resolutions dealt with sustainability.

Resolutions advocating the same measures were passed last year, but since no actions have been taken to implement the requests, new resolutions were written, said Allison Larmann, member of the Environmental Affairs committee.

One resolution asked for IU-Bloomington printers’ default settings to be changed to double-sided printing in order to save paper.

The other resolution asks for IU-Bloomington to use recycled paper in their printers.

Updates to several sections of the election code were passed in another resolution, including a clarification on campaign spending after expenditure issues caused election disputes last year.

The election code now states that the total expenditures of a given campaign will be determined by assessing the fair market value of its individual expenditures, not determined by the dollar amount a ticket spent on their campaign.

This means even if t-shirts are donated to a campaign at no charge, for example, the fair market value of the shirts will be assessed and included in the total expenditures for a ticket, even though no money was actually spent on the t-shirts.

The total amount a ticket can spend on its campaign was also increased from $3000 to $4000. Head of the Election Commission Adam Kehoe said this is to adjust for inflation since the last time the limit was set.

The final resolution passed resolved that online course evaluations should include a question about how much students spent on course materials.

The information would be available on the OCQ Student Dashboard, which is a new online resource that functions similarly to ratemyprofessor.com.

“This is kind of an idea that would ... help students know what they’re getting into,” said Naomi Kellogg, representing the greek extension.

LGBT groups criticize proposed civil rights bill

By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu @Anne_Halliwell

In the two weeks since the Indiana Senate proposed Bill 100 concerning LGBT civil rights, political organizations released a bevy of criticisms.

Freedom Indiana, an LGBT civil rights group that rallied in the Indianapolis Statehouse the day the bill was proposed, responded to the legislation with renewed commitment to their cause.

“After reviewing the proposed bill in detail, there are real concerns,” Freedom Indiana campaign manager Chris Paulsen said in an email. “We will be actively working on solutions to many troubling parts of the legislation to ensure this bill truly provides the comprehensive protections LGBT Hoosiers need.”

The organization will have community meetings in Indiana cities in December to garner support for more inclusive LGBT civil rights legislation before the upcoming senate session, Paulsen said.

The organization argues as it currently stands, Senate Bill 100 would leave gender and sexual minorities open to discrimination, Paulsen said.

“It would prohibit cities and towns from enacting additional local civil rights protections,” Paulsen said.

“It could allow a homeless shelter that receives government funding to discriminate against a single mother.

It could also be used to deny someone the ability to make medical decisions for a same-sex spouse.”

Freedom Indiana aims to add LGBT citizens to Indiana’s existing civil rights bill.

“The good news is: We’ve got their attention,” Paulson wrote. “The media and big business have their eyes on Indiana. And politicians know the people of Indiana overwhelmingly agree it’s time to pass a comprehensive bill to protect LGBT Hoosiers.”

Senator Travis Holdman, R-19th District, who wrote the bill, was not available for

comment and has not released a statement on Senate Bill 100.

Holdman’s Indiana Senate Republicans webpage states Senate Bill 100 would protect against discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodation based on sexual orientation, gender identity, active-duty military status or veteran status.

In order to be fully protected under the bill’s gender identity provisions, a person must have, “consistently identified as a particular gender (for) one year.” Gender reassignment surgery is not a necessary part of demonstrating gender identity.

The bill also protects religious freedom and conscience, with provisions for religious institutions and small businesses in particular.

Holdman’s page states the bill would not restrict any small businesses with fewer than four employees if asked to provide marriage-related services.

“In larger businesses, an employee with a conscience objection to any marriage-related customer request should be able to accommodate all customers by asking a coworker to provide services in his/her place when his/her conscience is at stake,” according to the website.

While individuals are allowed to follow their consciences, government officials must carry out legal duties impartially, the page continues.

Senate Bill 100 would, if adopted, require local ordinances to match the state bill.

“Locally created civil rights commissions will not go away, but they won’t be able to take any action that differs from the protections and penalties in state civil rights law,” the page reads.

John Zody, the Chairman of the Indiana Democratic Party issued a statement calling the bill a “headline-grabbing attempt at legislation that brings false hope for equality.”

“Not only does SB 100 seem to uphold RFRA and

pre-empt local communities’ ordinances against discrimination, but it is also loaded with twists and turns that raise questions about intimidation and the provision of social and other services,” Zody’s statement reads. “It also seems to perpetuate the notion that being LGBT is a choice and as such, these Hoosiers will be held to different standards than others.”

The Indiana Religious Freedom Alliance posted a link to an article opposing “Indiana’s Attack on Liberty.”

Written by Monica Boyer of Hoosiers for Conservative Senate, author of “Not On My Watch,” the article argues that protecting employees who identify as gender or sexual minorities is an infringement on business rights.

Boyer’s petition, on ipetitions.com, “Indiana Lawmakers, Protect Religious Freedom, “Vote NO on Special Rights,” also takes the stance that any civil rights legislation about LGBT Hoosiers goes against religious liberty.

“Senate Bill 100 OR ANY OTHER bill that gives sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI) special legal status is a threat to religious liberty, freedom of conscience, association, and speech,” the petition reads.

“Making homosexual behavior the legal equivalence as skin color and race is not necessary. It is out of step with 30 other states’ laws and further divides Hoosiers.”

The ACLU of Indiana stated that while they were encouraged that small businesses were recognized in the bill, the religious exemptions and overruling of cities and towns “must be improved before the legislation can achieve its aim of addressing discrimination against gay and transgender people in Indiana.”

“Our encouragement from this first step is tempered by the serious flaws in the legislation, as written, that would undermine current civil rights protections,” the statement read.

People dress up as demonic followers of Krampus, the "Bad Santa," during the 2014 Krampus parade in downtown Bloomington. The creatures walked down Madison Street and taunted people wearing "Naughty" stickers.

Krampus Night will return on Saturday

By Cora Henry corahenr@indiana.edu | @coraghenry

Those who have been naughty should watch out for Kindergobbler, Bloomington’s newest Krampus, and its fellow horned devils, who will tyrannize the streets Saturday night.

Krampus is the Christmas devil of the European Alps. A companion to Santa Clause, Krampus punishes naughty children and other wrongdoers by beating them with sticks and giving them coal.

At the fourth annual Krampus Night this Saturday in Bloomington, event organizers will hand out stickers reading “Naughty” and “Nice,” and attendees will decide which stickers they and their children wear.

“Nice” people will get candy, and the “Naughty” will incur the fury of Krampus.

“People appreciate the accountability it brings,” said Bloomington Lead Krampus Wrangler Kel McBride.

“Good behavior brings good things, and bad behavior brings bad things.”

At a meeting of about

half of the 83 person Krampus crew Tuesday night at the Monroe County Public Library, McBride taught the devils’ handlers how to make sure the crowd stays safe.

“They’re wild beasts, and they have to be controlled,” McBride said.

At the event, participants can compete in a sack race and make a Krampus mask.

For a donation, visitors can also enter Harm’s Way, where the Krampus will surround them.

“I’ve had friends of mine come from as far away as Evansville, Nashville, Indy and other small towns around,” crew member Jef Stelzner said. “It’s getting bigger every year.”

In the first year, the devils walked down the B-line trail. As it grew, the event moved to a parade route on the downtown streets. Event organizers expect 2,500 to 3,000 attendees this year.

Bloomington’s Krampus festival has attracted national attention — Christopher Bickel, an organizer with one of the earliest Krampus Nights to take place in the

U.S., recently wrote about the celebration in an article on dangerousminds.net.

Bickel called the celebration “perhaps the best Krampus event currently held in the United States,” and said its organizers “set the bar for American Krampus celebrations.”

Stelzner said the crew shared high fives at Tuesday’s meeting after hearing the article’s praise.

Unlike the devils at other events around the country, Bloomington’s devils are a performance troupe, and residents can’t dress up and join the parade.

People who requested to join the event on Krampus all received the same Facebook response from McBride: “Our Krampus are beasts and not people in costumes ... We appreciate your offer, but we have more than we can wrangle at this time.”

The Krampus Bazaar will run 5-7 p.m. Dec. 5 at the Showers Common, and the parade will occur at 6 p.m. on the route from Third Street to Showers Commons on Madison Street.

Nonprofit pushes for open records bill for adoptees

By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy

Like many other adopted children born between 1941 and 1993, Pam Kroskie wondered about her birth mother and wanted to contact her.

And like other children adopted during these years, Kroskie couldn’t do it — state law prevented her from looking at her birth certificate.

In 1941, Indiana enacted a law that sealed all original birth certificates and adopted records from public access.

This restriction also applied even to adopted children, which means without written approval from the State

Board of Health, it was nearly impossible for adopted children to find out who their parents were. The law, however, was modified in 1993 to allow current adoptive children access to their original records, but no provisions were made for the children whose adoptions took place prior to 1994. The records are still unobtainable.

Kroskie, 47, found her family by using online genealogy sites like ancestry.com.

She sent vials of her saliva in for testing and within six weeks learned that her DNA matched others using the site as well. It wasn’t perfect, but Kroskie said it was a start.

“We all did it willingly,” Kroskie said. “I found out one of my cousins was actually my sister.”

Eventually, she found her mother and learned she had attended IU and lived nearby in Jamestown, Indiana, Kroskie’s entire life she said, throwing her hands up in frustration.

“She was in the phone book the entire time,” Kroskie said. “But there was no way for me to know that.”

In 1988, she took 10 months to search for her father and learned that he had been mistakenly listed as her uncle on ancestry.com.

“I have found my mom

and dad,” Kroskie said. “This is for everyone else.”

Kroskie’s struggle inspired legislation that will hit the floor of the House in January, when Indiana’s legislative session resumes.

She formed a nonprofit, Hoosiers for Equal Access Records and began working with two other women and adoption attorney Donald Francis to draft a bill that would extend record access for those seeking records from 1941 onward. The Indiana Senate approved the bill in the summer, but when it made it to the floor of the House, progress stalled.

Melissa Shelton, one of

the three women who work with Kroskie, said questions from the governor put a stop to the bill.

“The governor’s office stepped in with questions, statements,” Shelton said.

“They said things about protecting the privacy of the birth mother.”

Shelton said the privacy of the birth mother was historically not a concern: the privacy that was originally in question was that of the adopted children.

“It used to be you were stamped ‘illegitimate’ or ‘bastard’ on the birth certificate,” Shelton said. “If your records were sealed, no one

would be able to see that.”

Kroskie’s original birth certificate bears witness to that kind of classification: an “x” fills a box next to the word “illegitimate.”

“We’re not stigmatized anymore,” said Shelton.

“Today if something like that happened, we would be like ‘what?’”

The Governor’s Interim Study on Courts and the Judiciary, a committee that listened to testimonies from Indiana HEAR, voted in favor of supporting the legislation that would extend access to birth records for those still caught in the gap between 1941 and 1994.

Zuckerberg gains daughter and conscious Mark Zuckerberg welcomed his first child, Maxima Chan Zuckerberg, into the world last week.

But the world’s gained more than just the little gift of Max. Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, announced on Facebook

Max might grow up wealthy, but it looks like this baby won’t have a legacy inheritance.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Opportunism for U.S.A. I read an article titled “The Hypocrisy of ‘Helping’ the Poor” in the New York Times back in October.

Most days, I like going through the opinion section of the New York Times. It’s interesting to hear viewpoints from all over the world while working at the opinion desk of a college newspaper in Bloomington.

On this particular day, Paul Theroux, the author of the article, argued that parts of America now resemble a third-world country.

This argument is an incredibly depressing and sobering one. Yet, we must keep a sense of optimism about our abilities to solve America’s problems.

According to Theroux, the third-world country claim is due to a combination of factors. The outsourcing of manufacturing jobs away from areas like the Deep South, for example, has left countless towns in disrepair. These places are met with abandoned factories, broken promises from politicians to bring back jobs and empty futures with nothing to look forward to.

Another reason, Theroux argues, is the constant desire for large businesses to find the cheapest labor possible to create and sell their products and services.

“Big companies have always sought cheaper labor, moving from North to South in the United States, looking for the hungriest, the most desperate, the least organized, the most exploitable,” Theroux writes. “It has been an American story.”

What’s more American, after all, than CEOs with millions using the work of many to fuel the productivity of their companies and our economy? And ship jobs overseas to make charts and numbers look attractive to their investors?

However, we cannot let despair cloud our thinking.

We cannot sit around, point fingers and convince ourselves that there is nothing to be done about issues like poverty in America.

What we have to realize is that these issues are

Tristan Fitzpatrick is a junior in journalism and history.

human-made ones. Leaders and people in authority created these problems to begin with. Aren’t we capable of finding people who can also create solutions to these problems?

We have to be optimistic that it can be done.

I’ll be the first person to admit there are a lot of things going on in our country and the world that make the future look grim, in addition to outsourcing, globalization and motives of a few wealthy CEOs. We are still, seven years later, combating the effects of the Great Recession of 2008. The amount of underemployed Americans is still at about 12.6 percent, according to profitconfidential.com, meaning with these new outsourcing trends, they are getting fewer and fewer hours to support themselves and their families.

There is awful, raging terrorism happening in the Middle East. The rise of Islamic State group in Iraq, Syria and other countries continues to undermine the fighting the United States has done in the region over the past two decades.

The cost of higher education continues to skyrocket, putting increasing numbers of our nation’s best and brightest tethered to student loan debt after they graduate and begin to lead their working lives.

Things might be grim, but one of the good things about our country is that we are a moldable nation. We are a changeable nation. For as long as we’ve existed, we’ve been a nation of change: from the creation of the New Deal in the 1930s, to the civil rights protestors of the 1960s, we’ve had people argue America can and will be a better country than it was previously.

We have to believe that this argument is true, for our future’s sake, now. ttfitzpa@indiana.edu @tfitzwrites

STEVEN’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

Voter ID laws help us One of the things that makes American democracy so important is the right to vote. The right to vote is not one that should be taken lightly: it is our say in political proceedings on the local, state and federal levels.

With the 2016 elections fast approaching, this is an issue that will heat up in the coming months. Many people will be discussing this issue, but I believe that voter ID laws are necessary to preserving the integrity of elections.

The 15th Amendment to the Constitution outlines the right of citizens to vote. In the amendment, Section 1 reads, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” The constitutional amendment clearly states that all citizens have the right to vote. But does the Constitution grant non-citizens the right to vote?

Voter ID laws are clearly constitutional. In the case Crawford v. Marion County Election Board (2008), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circut held that the Indiana voter ID law was constitutional, stating that the photo ID requirement was closely related to Indiana’s legitimate state interests in preventing voter fraud. The slight burden the law imposed on voters’ rights did not outweigh these interests.

There are several types of voter fraud. In cases such as the 2000 presidential election where dubious circumstances created a close race, in Florida specifically, it’s possible that voter fraud confounded the true vote counting process. In several states and cities, dead

Steven Aranyi is a junior in history.

people vote, as they’re left on the registered voter lists after their deaths and living people cast votes for them. According to NPR, 1.8 million dead people were registered to vote in 2012. Other types of fraud include stuffing ballots, voter intimidation, etc.

Voter ID laws simply uphold the will of the Constitution. It makes sense that the collective government would want to uphold its sovereignty. Having the deceased, and non-citizens, vote is madness.

It’s simply counterintuitive.

Many people are against these laws, but why? State IDs are available for low cost in most states. Plus, a driver’s license is also sufficient, as long as it has a picture. To add, a military ID or passports also serve the same function of a state ID or driver’s license in up to 17 states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The idea of these voter ID laws are not to prohibit people from voting: they are in place to maintain accuracy in the vote counting process and ensure that fraud and votes from non-citizens aren’t tallied.

Why would we allow noncitizens to vote, or voter fraud to determine the will of the American electorate? Voter ID laws are sensible, but most importantly, uphold American sovereignty. With the hotly contested presidential election, and thousands of other elections occurring, voter ID laws will be key in ensuring the accuracy of the results. staranyi@indiana.edu

Tapping out, tapping in WE SAY: NSA still has chances to spy on you In the aftermath of Edward Snowden’s information leak, Americans have been in fear of their personal phone calls and other phone data’s being collected by the federal government.

However, as of Sunday, that program has ceased operation.

CNN reports Congress deemed the bulk data collection aspect of the Patriot Act was illegal without a warrant to search or seize data.

The court did not decide, though, that this kind of data collection was unconstitutional, despite its clear connection to the Fourth Amendment.

Ever since President Obama signed a bill to reform the methods of intelligence acquisition used by the National Security Agency in June, the USA Freedom Act has been in effect.

Basically, the USA Freedom Act stripped the National Security Agency of its ability to collect mass data from ordinary, law-abiding citizens without proper court permission, a provision added after the 9/11 attacks.

Many see this as a loss of a valuable tool to keep Americans safe.

However, others see this as a victory for civil liberties and constitutional rights.

But what is troubling about the expiration of the program on Sunday is, according to a

statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the government will be utilizing a more “focused and targeted” approach to collect information.

“Focused and targeted” has not been precisely defined.

Such language gives the government leeway in deciding exactly who gets tapped.

President Obama stated in a CNN interview that the NSA should still take every opportunity to collect data from individuals the government has “probable cause” to believe are involved in terrorist acts.

But with all of the Islamaphobia and racial profiling pervading the U.S. climate in the wake of the refugee crisis, it’s hard to believe that strict standards will be applied in deciding what constitutes probable cause.

Is probable cause a nationality? A religion? This shift in programs can only be successful if it is not simply another outlet for profiling.

Additionally, the halt on large bulk data collection in our phones does nothing to stop the collection of Internet surveillance intelligence.

The PRISM program began in 2008 and gathers stored Internet communication data from industries like Google to target and track possible criminals, with particular interest to foreign communications.

In 2015, we do an incredible amount of communication through the Internet — Facebook, Twitter, emails, you name it. If we need to communicate with someone out of the country, that’s practically the only way to do it. That’s a lot of raw data.

Government officials have assured the public their Internet communications are not monitored without explicit consent from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, according to the Wall Street Journal.

However, at the risk of sounding too conspiratorial, why should we believe that?

If a program that collects bulk data from phone telecommunication companies is not revealed until someone like Edward Snowden finally steps forward from the inside to tell us about it, why could it not happen again?

Overall, the government’s saying they will no longer collect mass data is sort of nice.

Just sort of.

The dissolution of the program allows them to be more targeted in their collection, which could open the door to a lot of prejudice.

Additionally, the shift does not do enough to protect people from Internet surveillance.

After the Snowden leak, it’s hard to believe anything will change at all.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A tragic loss of life should bring us together Robert L. Dear entered a Planned Parenthood clinic Friday, Nov. 27 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and opened fire.

Dear shot and killed veteran Ke’Arre Marcell Stewart, mother Jennifer Markovsky and police officer Garrett Swasey. Nine more were injured in the shooting.

Preying on the weak and vulnerable, the horrific attack rightly outraged the country. It is a cliché, but a true one, that we see who we are in times of great distress. In the wake of this attack we as a nation had a chance to rise together in unity.

We failed. Instead of an outpouring of support, we responded to an act of hate with more hate.

In an opportunity to turn tragedy into change we fell into accusations and

counter-accusations over who was to blame.

Critics linked Dear’s comments of “no more baby parts” to the release of a series of videos during the summer that accused Planned Parenthood of violating federal law regarding the sale of aborted tissue.

The other side of the aisle railed back with charges of media bias and more hatred — accusations of politicization and vitriol, more division.

I believe that linking the actions of this man to the overwhelmingly peaceful pro-life movement falls into the same trap as those who link all adherents of the overwhelmingly peaceful religion of Islam to a few radical terrorists. I believe that responding to criticism without offering solutions fails to offer the leadership necessary to move our

country forward.

These types of responses diminish complex and nuanced issues into sound bites and stop us from having meaningful conversation. There are real and valid disagreements between us. This event struck a chord on many of those issues: firearms, abortion, terrorism and mental health.

Throwing blame is easier than sitting down and talking. We need to recognize the other side has our country’s best interests at heart as much as we do.

We need to dig deep and find the empathy necessary to work with those whose closely held beliefs are almost diametrically opposed to our own. Too often, it seems we cannot find the strength to swallow our pride and do just that.

As students, we are

moving into a political environment where our leaders can’t talk to each other and those who disagree with us are painted as evil, bigoted or just plain stupid.

Our generation is rising and we have a choice to make. We can choose the same political world that we have seen for so many years. We can choose division over unity and hatred over understanding. Or we can choose to change. We can choose to come together, not to give up, give in or pretend we don’t have differences, but to work together.

No matter what you believe, right now we can all agree this is no way to live.

IT’S A MAD MAD WORLD

Menses pain could be more than you know It’s not everyday your doctor tells you that your body has failed you.

Lena Dunham wrote a piece, “The Sickest Girl,” in her creation, Lenny Letter, two weeks ago about her experience with endometriosis, a reproductive disorder where tissue grows outside the uterus.

While I don’t necessarily agree with every issue Dunham writes about, I felt reassured to know there were women out there who felt like their body had betrayed them as I had.

Last year on Nov. 25, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, an endocrine disorder that affects hormones and the reproductive system. Although I don’t suffer from endometriosis, I like to think of it and PCOS as painful sister disorders of the uterus.

It’s estimated that 1 in 10 to 15 women have PCOS and about 1 in 10 women have endometriosis. A majority of these women will be misdiagnosed or written off as simply exaggerating.

I remember walking into my OB-GYN for my appointment. It was my first time seeing her. I had been seeing another gynecologist at the same office who I didn’t think was taking my complaints about menstrual pain seriously.

Sitting in nothing but a paper outfit, I recounted

how my cramps were so bad during my last period, I toppled over in the shower and had to crawl back into my bed, unable to stand or uncurl my abdomen.

It was the hallmark symptom of irregular periods beyond adolescence that caused her to diagnosis me with PCOS. She explained that PCOS was like “a bucket of symptoms.” Meaning that I could have only two or three symptoms, like weight issues or acne, in order to be lumped into the PCOS crowd. There isn’t much research on what causes it and there’s no cure, only treatment through birth control, drugs and lifestyle changes.

“No dairy, no bread, no sugar, no starches,” she said.

I had to start losing weight immediately to combat the symptoms.

She threw around words like “prone” and “higher risk” next to “diabetes” and “cancer.”

“Infertility” was the word that really rang in my ears.

I’ve stated before in my personal life that I have no desire to have children and I’ve even written a column about it.

But it’s one thing to make a decision on your own and a whole other feeling to learn at age 19 that a part of your life could very well be predetermined by a matter you can’t control.

When I left the office, I was stunned. I sat in my car for five minutes before leaving. I felt confused about the encounter I just had. I was worried I hadn’t remembered everything she told me. I was pissed because some woman I’d never met before told me I had to go on a diet two days before Thanksgiving. But most of all, I was terrified.

A month later, I returned to the office 17 pounds lighter and even more anxious — I was due for blood work. But the tests came back perfectly normal, my hormones regulated to a T. My doctor never gave me an explanation.

Over the year, I went through a cycle of anxiously worrying about the disorder, questioning my doctor’s diagnosis and then not giving a shit, all while enduring pain and misery.

But it was developing doubt that convinced me to do what I should have done in the beginning: get a second opinion. I caved this Thanksgiving break and scheduled an appointment with another OB-GYN in January.

I’m tired of searching Google for explanations of my symptoms and questioning my diagnosis. I’m done with taking tests, getting normal results and getting shrugs from doctors. I’m over physicians

prescribing me different birth control methods every couple of months and a handful of painkillers. And I’m sick of being sick.

Natalie Rowthorn wrote a column Tuesday about how important it is for young women to have routine checkups with their OBGYN and stay conscious of one’s reproductive health.

I want to echo this suggestion, but add that if you feel your cramps aren’t normal or you think there’s something wrong, say something.

You know your body better than anyone else; don’t downplay your pain and discomfort because everyone tells you “it’s normal.”

And it’s also perfectly okay to question your doctor and seek out other answers.

Don’t repeat my mistakes of avoiding doctors and then believing every word they say. Come prepared to your appointments with research and questions. Talk to those around you about your fears and concerns.

And don’t worry, you’re not crazy, you’re just in a lot of pain. maehogan@indiana.edu @madisonhogan

A SLICE OF SOMETHING REAL

Queen could save Egypt Recent radar scans of King Tutankhamen’s, better known as King Tut, tomb walls in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt has possibly revealed a secret that archaeologists and antiquities experts have been waiting for: the tomb of Queen Nefertiti.

People who have not been as mystified by ancient Egyptian history as I have might not be thrilled, but there is more than the satisfaction of solving a mystery at stake. Egypt desperately needs this discovery and, in particular, the country needs it to be Queen Nefertiti.

Since the Arab Spring uprising events that occurred in 2011, tourism of Egypt’s ancient monuments and museums has gone from 12,000 people a day before the uprising to around 300 — a declining number, according to the New York Times.

Apparently the only tourism area that hasn’t been declining for Egypt is the beach area around the coast. However, the Russian plane carrying a full load of passengers that crashed a month ago left no survivors has lead to a huge reduction in Egyptian beach tourism as well.

In short, tourists are afraid to go to Egypt and their fear has caused a serious deterioration in the economy. The only thing that can save Egypt is to increase tourism with the history-defining discovery of Queen Nefertiti’s tomb.

Archaeologists have said the discovery of Nefertiti’s tomb would be the find of the century. The 1922 discovery of King Tutankhamen’s tomb was originally dedicated to finding the final resting place of Nefertiti. Nefertiti is one of the most famous and important figures in ancient Egyptian history, mostly because many theories claim she came to rule Egypt after King Akhenaten died.

Personally, I have a lot of stake in this discovery. I have always had a soft spot for female rulers because

Rachel Miller is a senior in art history and political science.

matriarchy is awesome, and there are so few female rulers compared to men.

Also, the history surrounding Nefertiti and her burial is mysterious and something I remember learning through Discovery Channel specials on TV. So needless to say, I’ve been waiting for the answer to where Nefertiti is buried for as long as some of the archaeologists trying to find her tomb.

Although Egypt’s Antiquities Minister Mamdouh Eldamaty said in a press conference that there is an “approximately 90 percent” chance that there is “another chamber, another tomb” adjacent to King Tutankhamen’s tomb wall, archaeologists are going off of radar scans that indicate nothing more than a hollow area on the other side of the wall.

One archaeologist is actually convinced there is nothing on the other side of the wall in King Tut’s tomb. Zahi Hawass said, “I am an archaeologist for 40 years. I can smell a discovery and this is no discovery at all”.

There might be conflicting professional opinions on whether or not Queen Nefertiti’s tomb is there but there is one thing all sides agree on and that is Egypt is desperate for this to be true.

For my own curiosity and for the boost in tourism Egypt desperately needs, I really hope they find Nefertiti’s tomb. Not only would it be a fascinating discovery and provide answers to a centuries old mystery, but it would provide economic stimulus for a country that has been racked with political unrest and unfortunate events. rcm2@indiana.edu @RachelCMiller1

PEYTON’S PERSPECTIVE

Planned Parenthood won’t close its doors Despite right-wing extremists’ efforts to take down Planned Parenthood with their anti-abortion rhetoric, Planned Parenthood has a message for their opposers: they’re not going anywhere.

After a man opened fire on a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, killing three people and injuring nine, and mentioned comments like “no more baby parts” to law enforcement, Planned Parenthood released a statement.

In brief, the statement calls for an end to all the incendiary rhetoric that right-wing extremists are exponentially creating. Planned Parenthood directly calls out these extremists, stating, “To those who go to unimaginable extremes to close our doors: We deplore your violence. We reject your threats.”

These extremists are intentionally creating a breeding ground for enabling domestic terrorism against Planned Parenthood by their nasty, anti-abortion rhetoric.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee referred to abortions as being worse than the Holocaust during his address in front of pastors on his “Reagan, Thatcher, Pope John Paul II tour.” Yes, he compared a genocide of over 11 million people to a procedure that helps advance women.

The American Family Association also referred back to the era of Hitler with a comparison of Planned Parenthood to Josef Mengele, the Nazi physician who brutally experimented on twins.

Not surprisingly, all these extremists are coming from the Republican Party. Ben Carson, the current second-place candidate in the GOP presidential race polls, brought race into the antiabortion rhetoric as well, claiming, “one of the reasons you find most of their clinics in black neighborhoods is so that you can find a way to control that population.”

Carson claimed this because of Margaret Sanger’s, a founder of Planned Parenthood, interest in eugenics. She believed in eugenics, but not in the way that Hitler did. She just believed people should have the right to have the

children that they wanted, according to NPR. Not only were Carson’s claims false in accusing Planned Parenthood’s placement of their clinics to be racist, but they were “flat-out insulting,” Planned Parenthood’s Assistant Director of Constituency Communications, Alencia Johnson said.

Johnson questioned Carson’s claims, asking, “Does he think that black women are somehow less capable of making the deeply personal decision about whether to end a pregnancy than other women?”

After listening to Republican candidates and right-wing extremist media outlets persistent rhetoric in banning and defunding Planned Parenthood, I would say it isn’t a surprise that terrorism is a result.

These acts of terrorism are nothing new to Planned Parenthood, unfortunately.

Since 1977, there have been eight murders, 17 attempted murders, 42 bombings, 186 arsons, 99 attempted bombings/arsons, 1,507 acts of vandalism, 2,560 acts of trespassing, 662 bomb threats, 100 butyric acid attacks, 199 assaults and batteries, 429 death threats, four kidnappings and 663 anthrax/bioterrorism threats, according to the National Abortion Federation.

After reading that long list of terrorism attacks, I am in absolute amazement that Planned Parenthood is still standing strong today. This organization is amazing in its dutiful and valiancy in protecting men and women and providing affordable health care for them.

And Planned Parenthood wants extremists to know that they aren’t going anywhere.

They demand that domestic terrorism must stop and have a message for those who go to extremes to shut them down: these doors stay open. prhurst@indiana.edu @IDSPeyton

MEN’S BASKETBALL

HOOSIER TIES Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski reflects on time on IU coaching staff during 31-1 season in 1974-75

By Andy Wittry awittry@indiana.edu @AndyWittry

Before he became universally associated with one letter of the alphabet and considered to be one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time, Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski was a member of IU’s coaching staff — a 26-year-old graduate assistant with a last name that’s tough to pronounce and even harder to spell.

After playing for former college coach Bob Knight at West Point, Krzyzewski stayed in touch with Knight during his five years of service in the Army. Once he resigned from the Army as a captain in 1974, Krzyzewski had an offer waiting for him from Knight, who had taken the IU head coaching job in 1971.

“I wanted to coach,” Krzyzewski said in a statement provided to the IDS by Duke. “And I also thought that I wanted to be a college coach, and that if I could get my MBA, that would be really important as far as running a program.”

IU provided him with the opportunity to observe college basketball at its highest level while also learning about the business side of an athletic department and its basketball program.

Krzyzewski left after one season to become the head coach of Army, but his lone winter in Bloomington was a memorable one. The Hoosiers went undefeated in Big Ten play and finished the season with a 31-1 record, as IU fell only to Kentucky in the Elite Eight.

IU’s national title hopes TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

were set back when then-sophomore forward Scott May, the team’s second leading scorer, broke his arm in the regular season finale against Purdue.

Krzyzewski credits the Hoosiers’ 1974-75 team as being the best IU team of its era, even though Knight hung a national championship banner in the rafters of Assembly Hall in 1976.

“They were in a position to win it that year,” he said. “It was incredibly exciting to be there.”

As a graduate assistant, Krzyzewski was unable to participate in on-court coaching, but he was a staple in IU’s practices and provided a friendly ear for Hoosier players given their proximity in age. IU players respected him because he had played for Knight at Army with no idea that a future Hall of Fame coach was in their midst.

“We didn’t know we were hanging out with arguably, now, one of the greatest college coaches ever,” former Hoosier Steve Green said. “At the time he was a grad assistant, and, more importantly, he was one of Coach Knight’s favorite players at Army.”

Knight’s players at Army were the gold standard for IU players in the ‘70s.

The Hoosiers prided themselves on working as hard as the cadets in West Point, Green said.

One day in practice, Green and Krzyzewski were leaning against the backstop of one of the basketball hoops during a break in practice.

“My God, Coach Knight never worked us this hard at Army,” Krzyzewski told Green, who was flabbergasted.

“I looked at him and I go ‘Woah, wait a minute,’” Green said. “That’s all we’ve ever heard was these horrible stories, and we were always trying to impress Coach Knight that we were as tough as his Army guys, very honestly.”

Krzyzewski’s relationship with IU’s players wasn’t limited to the practice court. Wherever IU traveled, so did the bond between the players and their

College decisions aren’t new to Richard Lagow. The junior college quarterback prospect committed to UConn out of high school, transferred to Oklahoma State after summer training camp and switched to Cisco College after one season in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

So when he makes his decision next week about where he will spend his final collegiate seasons, he will have his background and experience with these types of choices behind him.

IU Coach Kevin Wilson and offensive coordinator Kevin Johns will be visiting Lagow on Tuesday.

It will be a chance for some last inperson words before Lagow visits Colorado State this weekend and makes his decision a few days later between IU, UNLV and Colorado State.

Lagow said he is looking for a program in which he has a good relationship with the whole staff.

He added he wants to fit in with the team and the whole system.

“I think I do with Indiana,” he said. “That’s something I like about them a lot.”

Lagow’s previous destinations have led to his wanting to go to a school where he can compete for a spot and play.

There was a coaching change after he committed to UConn, and the system was not a good fit under the new regime.

Then he was led to believe he would he would be able to compete for a starting spot during his spring at Oklahoma State, but that was not the case. He said he doesn’t want to speak badly about the coaches there, but the situation changed.

IU presents a potentially good landing spot for Lagow, as senior quarterback Nate Sudfeld — who

“Indiana’s got one of the more prolific offenses in the Big Ten, really in the whole nation.”

Richard Lagow, Cisco College quarterback

has recorded the most career passing yards in IU history and is listed at the same size and weight as Lagow — is graduating. There is not much certainty about a replacement plan for Sudfeld, so IU coaches have been in pursuit of Lagow.

“Indiana’s got one of the more prolific offenses in the Big Ten, really in the whole nation,” Lagow said.

He said he talks to Johns almost every day, sometimes just to chat about life.

He also said he talks to Wilson about every other day. The sales pitch from IU is to maintain the explosive offense the Hoosiers have been able to put together under Wilson, he said.

Lagow, a large self-described pocket passer, threw for 2,285 yards and 21 touchdowns in eight games this season.

Despite his size and strong arm, Lagow prides himself on being able to move around and extend plays.

“That’s a pretty good size for a quarterback, and being that size helps a lot,” he said. “But it doesn’t help a lot if you can’t move; you can’t extend plays.”

Most quarterbacks in college and professional football wear numbers between one and 19.

Lagow, on the other hand, wears No. 21, an odd choice for his position.

He said he has always worn it because he likes being different on the field.

“Hopefully wherever I end up, I’ll be able to wear it still,” he said.

JUCO quarterback set to decide on school next week

graduate assistant.

Dr. Steve Ahlfeld, a senior in 197475 who is now IU’s team orthopedic surgeon, recalled the team’s preseason tour of Indiana during his final year of college.

IU traveled to numerous cities in the state, including Fort Wayne, Evansville and Newcastle, to play intersquad scrimmages. The team and its coaching staff, including Krzyzewski, would travel by bus to and from gyms across the state to allow Hoosier fans to see their team up close and personal.

Krzyzewski would use the road trips to talk with IU’s players about what they had been working on to improve their games, Ahlfeld said.

“I think it allowed a little different kind of interaction than maybe you would have with the rest of the coaching staff,” Ahlfeld said. “That was a little more interpersonal interaction than what you would have with someone who was a formal member of the coaching staff. He was always great to talk with.”

The bus rides were short-lived, however, as Krzyzewski left Bloomington in 1975 to return to his alma mater.

He spent five seasons at the helm of West Point’s basketball program before accepting the head coaching job at Duke, where he has won five national championships and nearly 1,000 games.

As a product of Knight’s coaching tree, Krzyzewski’s roots trace back to Army and IU, where he observed “The General” adapt in his approach to coaching. At IU, Knight still had his intense passion for the game and commitment to preparation, but he adjusted to the increased level of talent and competition of the Big Ten, Krzyzewski said.

“He adapted in how he taught the defense, team man-to-man defense, and he really adapted in how he ran

Draymond Green deserves more than the scraps in terms of the Warriors’ success The first time I scored in a basketball game was in the third grade.

I remember it vividly, mostly because getting the ball in the basket was and always will be a rarity for me.

The game was over as our team was down by double-digits, but that didn’t take away from my moment of glory. I dribbled from the 3-point line, with my right hand only and head down, to the paint.

I chucked the ball up in a shot that would best be described as a shotput throw crossed with an epileptic seizure. The ball hung on the rim and tipped in. The crowd went wild and the world kept on turning, only this time Greg Gottfried now found himself in the scorebook with a scribbled “2” alongside his name.

I bring this up is for two reasons.

One, I love talking about myself in the third person. Two, every Warriors’ game this season is as mindblowing and inconceivable as the first time I scored.

The Warriors are currently 19-0 and lead the league in offensive rating, net rating, assist percentage, true shooting percentage, effective field goal percentage and wins in which the other team dies a little bit inside.

Game after game, the Warriors machine comes out swinging, hits threes at an ungodly percentage and rests their starters in the fourth quarter as they lead comfortably. Not only is their dominance improbable, but it’s also borderline unfathomable in a league that prides itself on parity and an abundance of talent.

Yes, Steph Curry is a transcendent talent that utilizes the threepoint arc in the same way that Taylor Swift uses her romantic breakups to fuel her songwriting. Yes, their depth is incredible with the flexibility of a gymnast. Yes, their coaching staff is impeccable and as ingenious as my usage of analogies.

But the one integral part that isn’t mentioned enough is Draymond Green. Michigan State alumnus and now No. 23 for the Golden State Warriors, Green is the x-factor

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Draymond Green (23) high-fives teammate Stephen Curry (30) after a play against the Houston Rockets during Game 3 of the NBA Western Conference Finals on May 23. Green is averaging 12.8 points and 8.1 rebounds this season.

of x-factors. Whether it was being a second-round pick, ending up on the perfect team or just his general persona, Green is the quintessential NBA Renaissance Man, as he does just a little bit of everything.

After a ho-hum first season, Green came into his own in the 2013-14 season under thenhead coach Mark Jackson, who carved out a role in Green’s flexibility and ability to play off Curry, yet the forward’s responsibilities were emphasized in the Warriors’ championship run last year.

In a league that used to revolve around traditional post play and big bodies, Green is an anomaly. However, his speed and size allows the Warriors to play small, while also having a player who can guard opposing centers. It’s a tough task, but ever since last season Green has stepped into the spot.

A big part of the Warriors’ success is their much-heralded “Death Lineup,” which consists of Green, Curry, Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes and Klay Thompson.

Greg Gottfried is a junior in journalism.

Everyone on the floor can shoot, defend and bring up the ball when called upon.

“Having the versatility in the wings is the glue,” said ESPN analyst Antonio Davis to SBNation. “There’s not many teams that have 3-4 guys that are versatile at so many positions.”

So far this season, Green is averaging 12.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists a game on 48 percent shooting. If these statistics were to hold, this would be only the tenth time all of these parameters have been checked off. The only other players on this list are Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson and Grant Hill.

As the Warriors streak continues, Steph Curry deservedly is basking in the limelight, but it seems only fair that Green receive a little more than just the scraps. gigottfr@indiana.edu

Rapper Lil Wayne will perform on March 3, 2016, in Assembly Hall. The rapper has not performed in Bloomington since performing for the Little 500 concert in 2011.

Lil Wayne to perform in IU spring semester

By Cassie Heeke and Bridget Murray cnheeke@indiana.edu | @cnheeke bridmurr@indiana.edu @bridget_murray

IU announced Tuesday that rapper Lil Wayne will perform at Assembly Hall next semester.

The concert, set for 7 p.m. Thursday, March 3, 2016, is part of Lil Wayne’s “The Dedication” tour, according to a press release.

The tour is meant to show appreciation for fans in the cities Lil Wayne has rarely visited in the past.

The last time Lil Wayne performed at IU was in 2011 for the Little 500 concert, Union Board Director of Music James Diamond said.

That show was in Assembly Hall as well.

Macklemore’s Little 500 concert was the last show performed in Assembly Hall before it underwent construction, Diamond said, so this concert will give newer students a chance to experience the venue.

“For a lot of students on campus, this will be the first Assembly Hall show that they’ll have access to,” he said.

Managing Director of IU Auditorium Maria Talbert said bringing a big name like Lil Wayne to IU involves

a lot of intricate planning but said his previous show here helped facilitate that.

“We are lucky that we had such an incredible engagement the last time Lil Wayne performed here because it made it a place he was really excited to return to,” Talbert said in an email.

Lil Wayne’s real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., and he is from New Orleans, according to the release. He was signed to Birdman’s Cash Money Records at age 11 and is now the CEO of Young Money Entertainment.

His latest mixtape, “No Ceilings 2,” was released November 26.

Lil Wayne will be accompanied by trap and hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, which is composed of brothers Khalif “Swae Lee” and Aaquil “Slim Jimmy” Brown.

They are best known for singles “No Flex Zone” and “No Type,” according to the release.

Talbert said she hopes this will be a concert students are thrilled to have the opportunity to see.

“We are always looking for great events to present, particularly ones that the IUB student body will be excited about and are grateful for our Union Board and Live Nation partners who

Bear’s Place will fill with the sounds of blues and jazz during the next few weeks.

Jazz Fables Presents, a concert series at the Bear’s Place back room, will welcome jazz groups during their next few Thursday nights, according to a press release.

The Dave Stryker Jazz Organ Trio will play their bluesy, original jazz compositions and Stryker’s arrangements of jazz classics, standards and pop songs at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 3.

Stryker, a recording artist and IU jazz guitar instructor, will play alongside Jared Gold, a New York jazz organist and recording artist on a Hammond B-3 organ and Steve Houghton, IU professor of jazz percussion on the drums.

According to the release, the group will play tracks from Stryker’s recent CD releases, “Messin’ with Mr. T,” a tribute to Stryker’s former soul saxophone master employer Stanley Turrentine, and “Eight Track,” which includes Stryker’s favorite soul and pop songs from the 1970s

and 1980s, among others.

Gold is the special guest for this show and, in addition to the performance, will give organ and combo clinics at the Jacobs School of Music while he is in town, according to the release.

The artist has produced many records of his own, the most recent being 2015’s Posi-Tone CD “Cosmopolitan Rhythm.”

This will be Gold’s first performance at Bear’s Place, according to the release.

The second show will take place at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 10. This will be the venue’s 25th Annual Holiday Jazz Concert of Üt Haus jazz band.

The members of this group include Jerry Morris, playing French horn and providing vocals; David Miller, playing the trumpet and flugelhorn; Brian Kearney, playing the baritone and tenor saxophones as well as vocals; Matt Shugert, playing tenor & alto saxophones and flute; Robert Stright, playing the vibraphone and percussion; Steve Johnson, playing the bass and Kevin Newcomb, playing drums.

The music in the second

show will be a mixture of Christmas carols and holiday pop staples, according to the release.

That includes some unusual jazz songs, such as Miles Davis and Bob Dorough’s “Blue Xmas,” Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea’s arrangement of “Deck the Halls” and Eric Dolphy and Mischa Mengelberg’s “Hypochrismutreefuzz.” Üt Haus will also play their own anti-holiday commercialism classic “Burn Down the Malls,” during which Kearney will deliver his humorous, updated speech against commercialism.

During the intermission for this show, Bill Weaver, also known as “Vicious” Gus Travers, host of WFHB country music program “The Dark End of the Street,” will act as storyteller reading one of his darkly-humorous holiday stories for the audience.

Tickets for the first Thursday’s show will be $8 for general admission and $5 for students. The second Thursday’s show is $7 for general admission and $5 for students.

LIL WAYNE Tickets $25-$89.50 7 p.m. March 3, 2016 Assembly Hall Tickets go onsale Friday at iuauditorium.com helped make it possible to bring Lil Wayne back to the Bloomington campus,” she said in an email.

Diamond said Rae Sremmurd brings new and upcoming hip-hop. Teaming up with a more established name in the genre like Lil Wayne makes for a good combination.

“Lil Wayne is known as one of the best rappers in a lot of circles,” Diamond said.

“So bringing someone that’s that talented and that notable, of course it’s going to bring a large crowd.”

The concert is presented

by Union Board and Live Nation. IU students may purchase tickets during the limited-time pre-sale starting at 10 a.m. Thursday, according to the release.

They will be available to the public at 10 a.m. Friday.

Ticket prices range between $25 and $89.50, plus fees. More information about purchasing them will be available Wednesday on the event’s page at iuauditorium.com, according to the release.

IU professor, poet receives art fellowship for literature From IDS reports

Adrian Matejka, Ruth Lilly professor and poet-inresidence of the IU College of Arts and Sciences, was selected by United States Artists as the 2015 Simon Fellow in Literature.

According to its website, United States Artists “celebrates the breadth of American artistic practices” by awarding selected artists $50,000 fellowships each year. This was one of 36 fellowships awarded by the organization this year.

Matejka said the funding awarded to him by the organization will help him complete his new poetry project, a poetry collection titled “Collectible Blacks” to be published in April 2017, according to a press release.

“It also allows me the financial security to pursue some of the more adventurous projects I’ve wanted to explore — a graphic novel about rap music in the mid1980s and a nonfiction poetry/graphic project about

fatherhood,” Matejka said in the release. “I’m so grateful for the support of United States Artists and for their mission of supporting innovation in the arts.”

Matejka was born in Nuremberg, Germany, according to the press release.

He grew up in California and Indiana and graduated from IU in 1955 with a double major in English and psychology.

He returned to teach in Bloomington in 2012 with an MFA degree from Southern Illinois University under his belt.

Matejka has authored many award-winning poetry collections, including “The Devil’s Garden,” “Mixology” and his most recent collection, “The Big Smoke.”

According to the release, Matejka’s “The Big Smoke” was awarded the 2014 Anisfield-Wolf Prize, selected as a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize and shortlisted for the 2013 National Book Award.

His work has appeared

in American Poetry Review and the Best American Poetry 2010 among other Adrian journals and Matejka anthologies, according to the release.

Matejka said he was honored to be awarded the fellowship by United States Artists, which he said provides valuable resources to artists beyond him.

“The United States Artists fellowship is so valuable — for me, of course, but also for all of the artists working in the nine disciplines the fellowships fund,” Matejka said in the release. “USA was founded in response to the absence of funding for working artists, so the fellowships are both practical and incredibly necessary.

There is some vanguard work happening across disciplines right now as a result of the United States Artists.”

in 1974-75.

After IU won the national championship in 1987 in New Orleans, Knight arranged a big buffet dinner for the former IU players who were in town.

Krzyzewski was there too.

“We look at him as a brother to tell you the truth, more than as this famous coach because he was part of the family and he knows what that family is,” Green said. “It’s just kind of passed along for those players who played for Coach Knight that were just one big family.

We’re very proud — always have been very proud — of Mike’s success and can really understand how hard he’s worked at that and how disciplined he is at doing the right things, not only for Duke but for our country as head coach of the Olympic teams too.”

Krzyzewski observed that level of work ethic and discipline from the sidelines of Assembly Hall and it stuck with him, Ahlfeld said.

The two men live a few hundred miles apart, and the busy schedules of their respective college basketball programs prevent them from reminiscing often, but when IU and Duke meet, Krzyzewski’s conversations with Ahlfeld go in a familiar direction.

“He always goes back to that same thing, ‘I just remember how hard you and that whole team really played and how tough-minded you were as a team, and I’ve never forgotten that,’” Ahlfeld said, recounting exchanges with Krzyzewski. “That’s always good to know that Indiana basketball has left its longstanding mark on Coach Mike Krzyzewski.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 offense because he now ran motion offense,” Krzyzewski said. “How he coordinated all that kind of opened up my eyes to adaptability. You can change, and it’s okay.”

Krzyzewski has carried that lesson of adaptability with him to Duke, especially regarding recruiting. Krzyzewski’s first one-and-done player was Corey Maggette in 1999, and only two Duke freshmen had declared for the NBA draft through 2010, when Krzyzewski won his fourth title.

Since then, Duke has produced six one-and-done players, including three who left school early last spring after winning the national championship.

Krzyzewski was unable to earn an elusive national championship ring in Bloomington, but he still regards his time at IU highly.

“They love basketball,” he said. “I mean there’s no place that loves basketball more than in the state of Indiana and at Indiana University.

“I saw college basketball at its highest level. I mean inside of college basketball — the program, the expectation level and the action to make it work. That’s incredible experience, and we obviously have been able to do that here, but having that snapshot of it for a year and being a part of it — a small part — but seeing all the parts, that was huge for my development as a coach.”

Krzyzewski’s current affiliations lie with the Blue Devils and the U.S. men’s national team, but he will always be part of the IU brotherhood, according to Green, IU’s leading scorer as a senior

MEN’S BASKETBALL

IU prepares for matchup at Duke Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94

The Hoosiers were upset and wanted things to change.

IU had just lost to UNLV, their second loss of the Maui Invitational, and were scheduled to play at Duke in a week.

So they conducted a players-only film session. They were planning on watching film together anyway when they got home, but, after the loss, the need was greater. So, even with IU Coach Tom Crean already on his way back to Bloomington, the IU players found out what went wrong in Maui, Hawaii.

“We were going to do it regardless, but we felt like to get it in as soon as possible,” sophomore guard James Blackmon Jr. said. “So it was everyone willing to do it, and we just watched the last 10 minutes of our game and just pointed out things that we can get better at.”

Now the Duke game is here. IU (5-2) travels Wednesday to Durham, North Carolina, where it will play No. 7 Duke (6-1).

Perhaps the biggest challenge facing the Hoosiers will be Marshall Plumlee, Duke’s senior center. IU struggled with rebounding Monday in the first half of its 112-70 win against Alcorn State, a team that doesn’t have a player taller than 6-foot-7. Plumlee is seven feet tall and grabbed 10 rebounds, four offensive, against Kentucky on Nov. 17.

Another concern for the Hoosiers could be how they deal with sophomore guard Grayson Allen. Allen is best

at driving toward the basket and finishing, passing to an open teammate or drawing a foul. Defending guards who can drive into the lane has been an area of concern for the Hoosiers at this point in the season.

Against a player like Allen, Crean said he knows the Hoosiers have to improve.

Not only can it result in easy layups, but driving the ball into the lane can result in open three-pointers on the perimeter because other defenders have to crash into the lane to defend the ball handler. So far this season, Duke is shooting 38 percent from behind the arc.

“Duke provides a lot of challenges because of the go as planned. Keep practicing. True your aim, and try again. Work with someone who sees your blind spot.

IU also struggled somewhat with rebounding in Maui and keeping teams off the offensive glass. But Crean said he isn’t so much concerned with the rebounding or his team’s performance in the Maui Invitational.

He’s more concerned about how his team will handle its first road game of the season in an environment like Cameron Indoor Stadium.

More long-term goals for the committee include the creation of subcommittees for specific aspects of mental health and potential collaboration with the Interfraternity Council and the rest of campus, said Sara Dobbins, who will be taking over as the PHA’s vice president of personal development in the spring.

The first year of the mental health committee will be considered a learning

Along with Whiteside’s scoring and rebounding output, 6-foot senior forward Roddreka Rogers contributes 7.1 rebounds per game, and 6-foot-3 junior forward Katarina Vuckovic contributes 6.1 rebounds per game. The pair also combines for more than 20 year as its members figure out what types of events and campaigns work best, Dobbins said. She said she wants the process of developing the committee to be as collaborative as possible.

The Interfraternity Council has also put measures addressing mental health into place.

Trevor Wolf is the IFC’s first director of mental health. In the new position, he has taken the approach of improving proactive education on mental health so fraternity brothers know how to help each other before a bigger problem arises, he said.

“There are so many times when the only way we can get people to talk about mental health is after something horrible happens, and it shouldn’t just be something to talk about after the fact,”

Sophomore guard Jess Walter, who is slowly being eased into Moren’s rotation after suffering a concussion before Hoosier Hysteria, said Georgia Tech plays with physicality and speed.

“Georgia Tech is a great team,” Walter said. “I think it’s kinda cool that coach used to coach there too.

Sears asked him what he meant by that.

“End of conversation,” Bruce replied.

Looking back, Bruce regrets how he handled the situation.

“Maybe I should have been more responsible myself,” he said. “For one thing, Facebook is not the best place in the world to have those conversations.

It’s just way to easy to post things that you didn’t want to or have things misinterpreted.”

Myrick said many people who post particularly harsh comments online wouldn’t be likely to say those things in other contexts.

“You don’t think about it because you don’t see the faces of the people who are reading your posts,” she said. “You’re not interacting with them as human beings so we lose some of that instant

He has been in touch with Exodus Refugee, a resettlement agency that is working to sue Mike Pence for an unlawful stance on Syrian refugees. He said he hopes the media attention generated through his post will raise awareness about the organization and their efforts.

He said he also hopes people learn to be more conscientious of what they are both reading and writing online.

“It’s not that people have to agree, but you don’t have to overreact and become violent to the opposition,” he said.

“We need to address this hate and ignorance in our community.”

Junior Imani Sailers performs many different roles in the ballet, including a Spanish dancer, Arabian dancer and a snow princess.

Sailers said her favorite part is the Arabian dance, which is different from the classical style of the other parts.

“It’s more fun and sensual,” Sailers said.

She said she enjoys the music even though it is constantly stuck in her head because she can hear the different cultures and countries represented.

“The Nutcracker” is a ballet anyone can relate to, Sailers said.

While the committee sees the need for further mental health conversation and hopes to see continuing involvement, the real hope behind its creation is that it will someday no longer be needed, Dobbins said.

“Our end goal is actually that the mental health committee will be dissolved because that would mean that we wouldn’t have such drastic mental health issues to address,” Dobbins said. “It would be great to no longer have the problem, to see students feel safe and healthy. But because there’s a need for it now, I’m excited to be able to help.”
