Campus center for ethics to close June 30 By MK WIldeman marwilde@indiana.edu | @mkwildeman

The Poynter Center — a 43-yearold voice for ethics on IU’s campus — is expected to close its doors June 30 after the IU administration opted to nix its budget. Two years after the Center’s absorption into the Media School, IU Provost Lauren Robel chose to halt its programming. The merger of the Center and the Media School proved

to be a failure; two searches for a new director were unsuccessful. Yet Center advocates say the research center is still too valuable to lose. “If we’re not doing something that has important consequences to the intellectual life of this University — indeed, I’ll be grandiose, of the state — let us go,” said David Smith, interim director of the Center. Kenneth Pimple, an associate scholar who will have worked at the Center for 25 years on July 1,

described Poynter as the campus’ conscience. The Center was founded in 1972. Newspaper publisher and IU alumnus Nelson Poynter permanently endowed it in 1978. The Center is intended to facilitate conversations about ethics primarily among faculty through seminars, workshops, research and other initiatives. Pimple is one of two salaried employees who will lose their jobs because of the restructuring. “The Poynter Center is the only

IUB unit of which I know that is solely focused on right and wrong, helping and harming, fairness and selfishness,” Pimple said. Though the Poynter Center building on Third Street is expected to close, the permanent Poynter endowment will continue to support ethics on campus in some form in the future, though how it will do so is unclear, according to information provided by the Center. The endowment was originally

intended to support programming while funding from the University was intended to support staff and faculty salaries and benefits. When Richard Miller resigned as director in 2013 after 10 years at the helm, Smith, who also served as director from 1983 to 2003, accepted the role of interim director. James Shanahan, dean of the Media School, was tasked with SEE POYNTER, PAGE 8

A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

IDS

Dear Readers,

NOBLE GUYON | IDS

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at the Douglass Park Gymnasium in Indianapolis on Sunday ahead of the primary elections in Indiana on Tuesday. Clinton spoke about a slew of topics including healthcare, foreign policy and drug addiction.

Pushing forward

Through four years of journalism at IU, my primary goal has been to inform students and the Bloomington community. We strove to do that this semester. We brought you coverage of an IU freshman coping with the murder of her sister, a presidential candidate’s visit to campus, accusations of sexual assault against IU’s deputy Title IX director and an explosive win against Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament. We’re human. We made mistakes. Thank you to everyone who critiqued this publication constructively — without criticism, we wouldn’t improve. Good newspapers respond to the voice of the public. I sincerely hope the campus and Bloomington will continue to interact with this newspaper’s leadership, both to improve the quality of the Indiana Daily Student and to prepare the next generation of journalists for what lies ahead. As editor-in-chief, I was surprised to learn just how many IDS alumni and longtime readers still read our paper every day. In a week, I’ll leave Bloomington for my last time as a college student and officially join those ranks. All the while, my loyalty will remain here, with this publication, its student journalists and the readership that supports it.

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton continued campaigning in Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon in preparation for Indiana’s primary Tuesday. By Samantha Schmidt schmisam@indiana.edu | @schmidtsam7

INDIANAPOLIS n her first campaign rally in central Indiana on Sunday, Hillary Clinton promised to promote manufacturing, unify communities and support Indiana women in defending their rights to their governor. In the hot, crowded Douglass Park Gymnasium on 25th Street in Indianapolis, the Democratic front-runner signaled a confident focus beyond Tuesday’s Indiana primaries and into the general election. “There is no more consequential election facing our country than this 2016 presidential election,” Clinton said to the audience of about 750 people. The crowd reflected the nearby diverse, working-class neighborhood with a substantial African-American community.

A man wearing a Jewish yamaka stood in the audience near a Muslim woman wearing a hijab. Senior citizens, IU students and children alike waved American flags behind Clinton on the stage, chanting “I’m with her,” before she came on stage. This is the second time Clinton has visited Indiana this week. She toured steel mills in Hammond and Mishawaka in the northeast part of the state Tuesday. Her husband, Bill, campaigned in multiple Indiana cities Saturday, and her daughter, Chelsea, visited Indianapolis on Friday. Former Indiana Gov. Evan Bayh, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and Democratic Rep. André Carson, D-7th, all provided introductions prior to Clinton’s speech. “You’re looking at history in the making,” Carson said to a roaring applause. After dominating several East Coast primaries, Clinton’s delegate count has climbed to 2,165, with Bernie Sanders at

1,357, according to the Associated Press. With her current count, Clinton is only 218 delegates away from winning the Democratic nomination. Ninety-two delegates are up for grabs in Indiana. Sanders has invested $1.6 million into paid advertising in Indiana, while Clinton has not spent any money on paid media, according to the Associated Press. In her speech, Clinton touted Indiana’s economy, where nearly one in five jobs are in the manufacturing industry, the highest proportion in the country, she said. She emphasized the need to tackle the opioid and heroin crisis — an issue of particular importance in Indiana. Clinton said she and her husband have lost three friends’ children to opioid-related deaths.

IU half game out of 1st after sweeping Northwestern By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

Everything was going off the rails. Or at least that’s what IU Coach Chris Lemonis said happened when IU allowed five runs in the top half of the seventh inning against Northwestern on Sunday. Then junior relief pitcher Jake Kelzer entered the game and pitched three shutout innings while IU retook the lead to win 7-6 and sweep Northwestern at Bart Kaufman Field. “We’re like a ‘Rocky’ movie,” Lemonis said. “We just keep getting punched and knocked down and we fight back. It’s kind of been the way we’ve played all year.” Sunday was Kelzer’s second win of the series after picking up his second win of the year Friday when he pitched a scoreless top of the ninth before IU won in the bottom half. This win was more challenging. Entering the game after the Wildcats hit a go-ahead grand slam, Kelzer walked a batter and allowed a single to the next. What followed was a double play and a strikeout to end the threat. Kelzer didn’t allow a baserunner after that. “The mentality is throw strikes,”

Struggling nationally, page 11 Even after the sweep, the Hoosiers still find themselves on the outside looking in at the NCAA Tournament. Kelzer said. “Get ahead in the count because watching throughout the two games Friday, I really could tell if you got ahead in the count you had the advantage on the hitter.” Senior starting pitcher Evan Bell still couldn’t win his first game of the year, even though he exited after 5.1 innings with a 3-1 lead. After the bullpen blew the lead in the seventh inning, his one earned run off five hits and three strikeouts went unrecognized. But it was the second consecutive of his starts the Hoosiers won, after only managing to win once in his first nine appearances. “We’re winning when he’s pitching right now, which is all that matters,” Lemonis said. “But I’d like to see him get that first win.” Offensively, the Hoosiers scored runs without getting hits. In the bottom of the seventh, when IU retook the lead for the final time, it scored both of its runs during a play that saw Northwestern’s second baseman’s throw miss the first baseman wide by about 15 feet. They also scored two runs off
