IU hosts relays through weekend

Too many gone

By Taylor Lehman

Indiana Quick Facts Indiana has the fifth highest infant mortality rate in the United States as of 2010.

Indiana’s infant mortality rate per 1,000 live births has only been less than 7 percent once in 113 years, 6.945 in 2008.

A baby dies every 13 hours in Indiana.

In just three meets this season, 19 Hoosiers have broken into the top 10 lists of their respective events.

The fourth meet on the schedule, the Indiana Relays, begins Friday at 3 p.m., in which the Hoosiers will face the likes of Notre Dame, Western Kentucky, Illinois and Alabama, respectable track and field programs with a combined 20 athletes qualified for the national indoor championship.

As IU approaches the grind of the indoor season, competing both to qualify for the national championship and to prepare for the Big Ten Indoor Championship in February, nearly 40 athletes have set personal records.

“We have a lot of athletes who will compete and then think that they have failed if they don’t set a PR,” IU Coach Ron Helmer said. “That’s not the case at all, because great athletes set times that can’t always be reached on a consistent basis.”

One such athlete eluding that issue entirely is freshman thrower Andrew Miller, who has set a personal record in the weight throw every meet this season with a PR of 19.80 meters heading into this weekend.

“I go into every single meet thinking the exact same thing: throw farther than the last time I touched the ball,” Miller said. “Luckily, I have gone out and thrown farther each week, but that doesn’t change my mentality.”

Miller gives the credit to IU’s throwing coach Cory Martin, who holds the No. 16 mark on the international all-time shot put list. Martin was the runner-up at the 2013 USA Indoor Championships and a ninetime All-American at Auburn .

“I’ve got a really, really good coach,” Miller said of Martin. “He’s SEE HOOSIERS, PAGE 6 IU TRACK AND FIELD Indiana Relays 3 p.m. Friday, Gladstein Fieldhouse

Infant mortality rates across the nation The United States is ranked 26th in the world for infant mortality with the national average being 6.14 deaths per

1,000 live births.

Five states, including Indiana, had more than 8.5 deaths per 1,000 births in 2010.

Healthcare providers hope state regulations will reduce infant mortality

By Megan Jula mjula@indiana.edu | @MeganJula

An infant dies every 13 hours in Indiana.

“We have been working to reduce our infant mortality rate for years,” said Julie Kathman, a clinical nurse specialist at IU Health Bloomington Hospital. “But we really haven’t been able to make broad sweeping improvements.”

Infant mortality rates measure the number of deaths before one year of age per 1,000 live births.

In 2011, Indiana’s rate was 7.7 deaths, compared with the national average of 6.1, ranking the Hoosier state the 46th worst in the nation.

It’s one of the worst indicators of Indiana health, Kathman said.

“We don’t want to be 46th

anymore,“ she said.

In 2012, Indiana’s rate improved to 6.7 deaths per 1,000 live births. But if Indiana had the same rate of infant deaths as the national average, 60 more babies would have survived that year.

Indiana and the national history Since 2005 the nation is getting closer to a goal of less than 6.0 deaths per 1,000 live births, but Indiana has not had a rate lower than 6.9 in

113 years.

Top Indiana causes of infant mortality include perinatal risks, congenital malformations and SIDS.

State efforts The Indiana State Department of Health has made reducing infant mortality one of its top three priorities. On Jan. 14, Gov. Mike Pence announced a new campaign called “Labor of Love.” The yearlong $1.3 million multimedia campaign will include advertisements on television, radio, bus shelters, billboards and online and will offer information about accessing prenatal care and resources to quit smoking.

Event combines clothes, whiskey National video contest to fight sexual assault

By Lauren Saxe and Michael Hughes lsaxe@indiana.edu | michhugh@indiana.edu

As Cassie Slone and Alison Zook were arranging their vintage clothing on stage, a group of women drinking wine at a nearby table approached them.

They came onto the stage to ask what they were doing.

Slone and Zook were setting up a pop-up store at Serendipity Martini Bar featuring antique clothing. Serendipity was also hosting a whiskey tasting to go along with the vintage clothing.

“They just seem to go together like peas and carrots,” Zook said.

“Well-aged whiskey and well-aged vintage clothing, so it makes sense.”

Students listen when other students talk about preventing sexual violence.

That’s the idea behind IU’s decision to promote the message of “It’s On Us” through a public service announcement video contest. “It’s On Us” is a national awareness campaign created by the White House in 2014 that aims to address the issue of sexual violence on college campuses.

The video contest is open to any IU student, group, organization or department. The winning 30 to 60-second PSA will capture the message of the “It’s On Us” campaign and how IU students can step up to prevent sexual assault.

“We found that one of the best ways students receive messages is when those messages are from one

another,” Leslie Fasone, assistant dean of women’s and gender affairs, said. “The idea was how can we adopt this national campaign promoted by the White House and how can we engage students in sharing these messages.”

The “It’s On Us” campaign is being promoted across all IU campuses, Fasone said, though the PSA competition is unique to Bloomington.

“I think that something that is really powerful is that we’re sharing the message about student welfare across all eight campuses,” Fasone said. “It’s showing we are one. There is a great deal of administrative support for these initiatives.”

The winning video will portray a message consistent with the “It’s On Us” campaign while adapting the content to IU, Fasone said. Examples SEE VIDEO CONTEST, PAGE 6

IU greeks seek awareness

By Brett Dworski bdworski@indiana.edu | @BrettD93

According to University statistics, more than 20 percent of IU undergraduates are involved in Greek life.

Of those 20 percent, there’s a small, unrecognized portion.

President of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity Treon McClendon said his brotherhood, a primarily African American one, is invisible around campus.

“It’s a struggle,” he said.

“We’re an off-campus fraternity, so we try to do a lot of work via social media to get our name out there. Not living on campus makes it harder to attract people to our events, as well. When you’re on campus, people frequently see who you are and know you. We don’t have that luxury. Most of the attention we attract is by word-of-mouth.”

McClendon said it’s not being off-campus that makes Alpha Phi Alpha invisible; it’s being part of the small population of minorities in Greek life.

“Being at IU, a predominately white institution, it’s important that we get the support to stay motivated in order to uplift each other and the rest of campus,” he said. “Not only are many

minority chapters under the radar, but many people don’t know of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, either.”

Mayra Meza is a sister of the primarily Latina Sigma Lambda Upsilon sorority, better known as Señoritas Latinas. Like McClendon, she said being under the radar is a constant difficulty.

“Funding and awareness is always difficult when you’re a minority chapter,” she said. “People don’t know our organization or what council we’re in and they don’t understand the concept of multicultural Greeks.

We’re limited at the moment, and it’s hard getting people at events and spreading the word.”

Meza said the key for minority Greek organizations to be successful is spreading awareness.

“We are constantly teaching others about our culture; teaching them to understand and accept us, as well as accepting those who are in the minority community,” she said. “We want to provide the information that people can’t get anywhere else on campus.”

Iota Phi Theta president Richard Dixon said one of the toughest aspects of minority Greek life is the size. Unlike many fraterni-

ties, Iota Phi Theta, another African-American chapter, has five members.

“Compared to fraternities with 100-plus members, having five members makes it harder,” he said.

But that doesn’t stop him.

“It’s important to make an impact because I’m the underdog,” he said. “I was told that my kind shouldn’t be accepted into IU. I work so hard because I want to leave a path for those who follow behind me. I want to show them that you can make a difference, no matter what people say.”

Though small and unrecognized, minority chapters in Greek life stay active through philanthropy events and other programs.

“We attend a lot of NPHC events and leadership conferences to brand ourselves the best we can,” McClendon said. “We use our chapter motto with everything: ‘Service is the key to success.’ If faculty and students recognize us, they see we are uplifting the community, whether academically or through events. Enhancing the community will bring awareness.”

Meza said although Señorita Latina’s events are catered toward Latina women, they offer support and

acceptance for anyone who desires it.

“Our events are smaller, yet they provide information to people through community service and fun events in order to become engaged with the Latino culture at IU,” she said. “Just because we are Latino-oriented doesn’t mean we only accept Latino members. We’re here to help anyone who needs it.”

Dixon said although small, Iota Phi Theta has profoundly affected the community.

“Earlier this year, we had our I.O.T.A. (Impacting Others Through Awareness) Week,” he said. “Our events included collecting goods for the homeless and spending the day with them, hosting a discussion on ending the use of N-word, raising money for St. Jude Hospital through a basketball tournament and holding a suicide prevention event.”

Dixon believes one of the most important messages minorities try to send is to always be themselves.

“We don’t believe in changing people to fit the mold; you are who you are,” he said. “I always tell my members this: ‘Don’t dare to be different, dare to be yourself — if that doesn’t make you different, then something is wrong.’”

Author Ari Shavit speaks about book Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali

Author and human rights journalist Ari Shavit attempted to break down the barrier surrounding the sensitive subject of Israel in his discussion Thursday, Jan. 29.

The discussion was structured as an interview with the main commentator being Idie Kesner, dean of the Kelley School of Business. The event was sponsored by IU Hillel and was the main event in Israel Awareness Week, a week devoted to celebrating the country and its unique culture and customs it embodies as a democracy in the Middle East.

Shavit recently published a book titled “My Promised Land: a personal testament of a prominent writer exploring Israel’s past,

present and future.”

Through his writings and as a journalist, his discussion was focused toward the perspective of the students, with his interest being how Israel was incorporated in the current lifestyle of young adults and what the future of Israel would potentially look like from this explanation.

Shavit said he constantly finds himself challenging the dogmas of both the left and the right, but is personally challenged by the energy and issues of the current generation.

“This generation likes to contribute to something bigger than themselves,” Kesner said.

As a self-described brother from a distant land, Shavit explained how when we are constantly emerged in something, we don’t always appreciate it. Shavit

is currently on a tour of 28 American university campuses sponsored by Hillel International in attempt to get this message across and try to maneuver the divide between generations with their relationship to Israel.

“This is a social, political universe built on voluntary values based on a system of a voluntary community,” Shavit said.

Focusing on the Jewish people as a whole, Shavit saw them as victims of their own success. The issue is the staggering of the generation gap, in neglect of still being a minority in this current world.

Using two movies as his examples for this divide, “The Exodus” and “Schindler’s List” were used.

“The Exodus” portrayed Israel “handsome as Paul Newman” and “Schindler’s List” showed the realistic

terrors that embodied the Holocaust. In the end, although both show Israel as this needed haven, both are considered ancient history to this current generation.

Union Board approved the Canvas magazine committee’s proposed budget of $8,000 on Jan. 22.

Sophomore Austin Atkinson, director of the Canvas committee on Union Board, said the budget consists of $6,500 toward the publication and printing of Canvas magazine and a $1,500 buffer.

The buffer is in place for possible mistakes or unforeseen fees in the publication process, he said.

Atkinson said it was difficult to agree on a number to propose because they have to first create the magazine in order to get estimates from printing companies about what the publication would cost.

“This budget is entirely for the publication,” he said.

Senior Grace Miller said the Canvas committee is Union Board’s contribution to the arts on campus.

In addition to planning other arts events, Miller said the committee works to select and publish student art submissions that are truly representative of IU for its award-winning magazine each semester.

Miller said she has been involved with Canvas and Union Board since her first semester on campus.

As a former director of Canvas, Miller said she understands the process of budget approval and stays involved to support the current director.

Each committee director on the board voted on the budget during their meeting.

The vote passed with nine members voting yes, eight members voting no and one abstention.

Adam Fialkowski, vice president of finance for Union Board, said the board had to be critical of what programs were passed because of their new focus on advanced planning.

Although the vote was close, the board felt passing the Canvas magazine added to the tradition and

diversification of programming for students, he said.

Miller said the directors might have considered funds for other items taking precedence to Canvas.

“I think most people do see the importance of it,” Miller said. “But it’s just because we’re in such kind of tight financial constraints right now, they may think that some other things are a little more important.”

Because the Union Board budget is made up of mainly student fee revenue, Miller said the committee gives students a return on their investment with the magazine.

Also at the meeting, the idea of moving the Canvas magazine to a completely digital publication was discussed at the meeting before the vote.

Miller said this could be a detriment to the magazine.

“While I have no problem with there being an online presence, I think there is nothing like holding that magazine in your hands,” she said.

She said she worried about the traffic Canvas and its submissions would receive.

“I think that were we to not have a physical copy, students would not be as interested in contributing,” she said.

Although the topic triggers much debate, the magazine’s physical iteration remains.

Atkinson said he believes the publication deserves this funding because it provides a way of communicating different beliefs and ideas through artistic expression.

“It’s an incredibly personal discipline, but it’s also an incredibly academic and intellectual discipline,” he said.

“I think it’s really great to be able to have that available.”

He said he wants to provide students with the opportunity to showcase their art in a successful publication and be a part of the conversation.

“I just think that it represents the interests of the arts community very well, and it gives students really great opportunities,” he said.

Healthy IU begins Climb IU program

By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali

Healthy IU has developed an incentive-based program intended to encourage employees to move more and save energy.

The program, Climb IU, challenges participants to climb a total of 56 flights of stairs over three weeks. The 56 flights of stairs represent the total number of levels of the tallest academic building on each IU campus.

“We wanted an initiative that was fun and focuses on healthy living and exercise particularly in January,” Jackie Braspenninx, manager of Healthy IU, said.

Healthy IU focuses on employee health and wellness initiatives on all IU campuses. The goal of the department is to try to empower employees for easy,

This is the first year this three-week challenge is taking place. The development took place in early November as an easy challenge that would fit well in participants’ intended New Year’s resolutions.

“It is not only an exercise challenge,” Braspenninx said. “There is a large sustainability aspect that can drive in a certain people.”

Dr. Akwasi Owusu-Bempah, associate professor in the Department of Criminal Justice, spoke on the amount of contact African-Americans in Toronto have with the police force.

Owusu-Bempah’s lecture provided his interpretation of data gathered in his latest research titled “Black Men

and Urban Policing, Toronto Style” on Thursday.

“The study was to determine whether blacks do have more contact with the justice system and police in Toronto and to better understand their perception of this,” Owusu-Bempah said.

Research included indepth investigation of the black community, the young black male community, race and its effects in the police community and the

“disproportionate minority contact” between police and those of color.

His data showed almost 25 percent of black men in Toronto were stopped three or more times than someone of white or Chinese ethnicity in the past two years. Black women held an even higher percentage by comparison.

It also concluded almost an 11 percent higher rate of black men being stopped and searched by the

police than other races in the community. Women stood at a 2 percent higher rate of being searched.

In a survey limited to only young black men, the data reported 36 percent of them were physically abused by the police, 29 percent were stopped and searched, nearly 17 percent felt verbally abused and almost 8 percent were falsely arrested, he said.

Crimson CORPS looks for student volunteers

By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

In an average classroom of 100 students, 18 students will have been diagnosed with depression, seven will have seriously considered suicide and 1.5 will have attempted suicide during the past 12 months, according to IU’s Counseling and Psychological Services.

Crimson CORPS is looking for a group of undergraduate students interested in tackling these mental health issues.

Applications for next academic year are due Feb. 6.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 When studying the police community and race, OwusuBempah said he encountered several complications.

He said with the “subculture in the police community” it was difficult to research beyond the police’s distrust of outsiders and code of silence due to a fear of damaging their careers or reaping internal reprisals.

For this reason, he said he obtained approval from

by the staff at CAPS, according to the Crimson CORPS website.

Through peer-to-peer support, advocacy and outreach, the group of students work to bring awareness to mental health issues, reduce the stigma surrounding them and support peers struggling with these problems.

“I have had an extremely valuable experience in Crimson CORPS,” said junior and Crimson CORPS member Taylor Claxton. “I have learned so much about mental health, and I’ve learned the helping skills that I need to be able to make a difference.”

Undergraduate students who join Crimson CORPS are expected to volunteer for at least three semesters, incentives. For example, using stairs burns twice as many calories as walking, and six flights a day can lead to an 18-pound weight loss over one year, according to Healthy IU. When the challenge comes to a close, an evaluation will be sent out to all participants asking about any possible barriers that occurred throughout the three weeks. Once this assessment is made, necessary changes will be put into action, allowing employees to move more and save energy at the same time.

One team and one individual winner will be chosen at random from each regional campus, and three team and individual winners will be chosen from IU-Purdue University Indianapolis and IU-Bloomington due to the significantly larger sizes of these campuses. In order to be in the running, one must turn in a completed tracking sheet.

“About one-fourth of my data came from just approaching (the police officers) who supervise construction in the streets,” Owusu-Bempah said.

He found in his studies that black communities are often “over-policed and under-protected.”

In one set of data, he found that black persons are more likely to be stopped in

including one semester of orientation and two semesters of practice, attend biweekly meetings, attend one six-hour training session per semester and one 90-minute training session per month and participate in at least two outreach programs per semester.

At the six-hour training sessions, members focus on general skills, such as how to listen, how to ask questions and when to ask the right questions, said junior and member of Crimson CORPS Leah Edge.

At the 90-minute training sessions, members focus on a particular mental health issue, such as depression, anxiety, suicide, eating disorder, sexual assault and problemdrinking and drug use, Edge

said. Members then learn how to recognize particular mental health issue as well as appropriate intervention and referral techniques.

“We do a lot of role playing and practicing of the skills that we talk about because that’s the best way to get comfortable with using the skills that we talk about,” Edge said.

Claxton said members split into groups of six to eight people. One pair role plays and practices the skill they learned as the rest of the group and a staff member from CAPS watches, providing feedback on what the pair did well and what the pair could have done differently.

Members then apply the skills acquired in training to peer-to-peer mentoring.

“So many people treat Israelis as either angels or demons,” Shavit said. “We are neither. We are humans.”

Israel’s roots were built by victims of Europe who took the decision to stop being the victim and move forward, Shavit said. Now,

Israelis try to embrace a celebration of life when surrounded by an the threat of death, in his eyes.

When bringing back the context of passion and love, Shavit believes the future of Israeli and American Judaism can form a new

kind of Zionism of the 21st century.

“If we bring some vision about the democracy of Israel, I think we can make a difference.”

Toronto than in New York City.

“This really puts into perspective the way that blacks are viewed in our society, if we think about the general regard toward Canada and the U.S.,” Owusu-Bempah said.

Although the title of the lecture states his data reflects specifically Toronto, he connects the lecture and datasets to an international scale.

Before teaching at IU, Owusu-Bempah was born in Britain and completed his Ph.D. at the Centre of

Criminology at the University of Toronto.

He made comparisons in his findings between Sweden, Britain, Canada and the United States.

Muna Adem, a future Ph.D student in sociology, said she was concerned about the United States’ lack of progress on the issue.

“We – I come from Sweden – don’t talk about (the disproportionate contact between police and minorities) at all, so how can the same issues be true in a coun-

try where there is so much discussion?”

Owusu-Bempah said that racism in social structures exists in all countries, so these situations will still occur regardless of free speech.

He said he feels there should be more positive images of successful black professors, doctors and politicians in circulation to counteract the negative images of young black men in pop culture and music being promoted today.

He said society needs to

hold officials accountable for the inequality in policing between races, as well as the police officers themselves.

Furthermore, he said body camera footage should always be accessible for the public to have a firsthand insight of police-citizen interaction.

Acknowledging the “obvious status quo” and the perception of blacks in communities, as well as working together as a society, is the way to advance beyond these issues, Owusu-Bempah said.

New strides have been made for Gov. Mike Pence’s new health care program, the Healthy Indiana Plan, which aims to offer affordable health insurance plans to low-income families in Indiana.

Pence started negotiating with federal agencies to waive the Medicaid program in Indiana and to replace it with his HIP. He announced Tuesday that Indiana had received approval from the federal government to use an expanded version of the plan, which he calls the Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0.

“Since the beginning of my administration, we have worked hard to ensure that low-income Hoosiers have access to a health care plan that empowers them to take charge of their health,” Pence said in a press release. “This has been a long process, but real reform takes work.”

The recent approval by the federal government allowed Indiana to be waived from using Medicaid and expand the size of the HIP, which gave an additional 350,000 Indiana residents the right to purchase health insurance from the state.

“This agreement is great news for hundreds of thousands of low-income Hoosiers and a testament of the effectiveness of the Healthy Indiana Plan,” U. S. Sen.Dan Coats, R-Ind., said in a press release. “Indiana is leading the way nationally by creating state-based, innovative ideas for governing.”

Marni Lemons, a spokesperson from Pence’s office, offered a comment on the HIP 2.0.

“Since HIP 2.0 was just approved by the federal government, and we are only beginning this week to accept applications, no one is enrolled,” Lemons said.

“Therefore, we have no enrollment figures, nor is there an effectiveness study ... the purpose of the program is not to save money, but to provide healthcare coverage and, therefore, access to healthcare to those who currently have none.”

In order to be eligible for the program, an individual must be between the ages of 19 and 64 and be earning less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level, which is

approximately $16,000. The number can be adjusted to account for families.

Details for the sources of funds for the program were released in a financial overview for fiscal years 2016-2021.

One interesting component of the HIP is the POWER Account, which resembles a savings account.

Members contribute specified amounts to the account comparable to their yearly income. Participants will pay no more than 2 percent of their yearly income to the program.

In addition to the POWER Account, funds for the HIP will come from state revenues from cigarette taxes, which over the six-year period will account for approximately $676 million, and revenues that are collected from the Hospital Assessment Fee, a program that collects fees from licensed medical institutions, which will account for $959 million for a total of $1.635 billion.

The HIP offers three separate options for health insurance to members. The Plus Plan is the suggested plan, in which members contribute monthly fees to the POWER Account.

Members of the Basic Plan cannot afford to contribute to the POWER Account and have a household income less than the federal poverty level, resulting in a reduction of benefits such as dental and vision care.

The Link Plan works to compliment members who already have health insurance through their employer. Although the program was just reauthorized and expanded, there have been some analyses done of the effectiveness of the original HIP program.

According to a Dec. 2013 financing report from the governor’s office, the HIP has decreased the prevalence of inappropriate emergency room use and has resulted in an increased rate of preventive care use compared to the rates of individuals with private health insurance.

In a 2013 survey done by Mathematic Policy Research, it was found approximately 96 percent of members were either somewhat or very satisfied with their overall experience with the plan.

Coverage for HIP 2.0 will start for all enrolled members Feb. 1.

For those gathered in the shadowy bar at Scholar’s Inn Gourmet Cafe and Wine Bar Wednesday, it was 1962.

Women wore furs, hats and long gloves. Some men wore ties and suits. One man wore a tuxedo and boutonnière.

They were celebrities, foreign leaders and Capitol Hill high class.

At least for a night.

They had come to Scholar’s, 717 N. College Avenue, to try something new: an interactive murder mystery.

The game is the brainchild of Bloomington residents Josh Johnson and Stephanie Cook.

Cook said the idea came to them after they had played a murder mystery box game.

“We liked the idea of having something deductive and interactive,” Cook said.

When asked who had the original idea, both of them had to think.

“I think he actually mentioned it first,” Cook said.

Regardless of who thought of it first, the idea has been successful, Johnson said.

“We’ve had groups as large as 60,” he said. “And there’s been a broad age range from 21 to mid-80s.”

Susan Montgomery and her husband were first-timers who decided to come after reading about it in an email from Scholar’s.

“It just sounded like fun,” Montgomery said.

She wasn’t alone. Carly Patterson said she was a firsttimer, too.

“We’ve been trying to do date night for a while,” she said. “This sounded fun.”

After a time of sipping cocktails and enjoying hors d’oeuvres, the game started.

Johnson set the scene.

“The problem is,” he said, looking around. “One of you is a murderer.”

With that, the game began.

People tore open envelopes with their character information, reading up on who they were for the eve-

ning. They had names like Tex Hamilton and Brooks Ravensdale. Teams talked strategy.

Then people began to mingle. Some adopted accents.

Some couldn’t refrain themselves from giggling at their lines.

Jake Yablonowski was part of the Russian mob. He spoke to another man.

“I’m looking to get a gun,”

he said.

Then he laughed.

“I’m really bad at this.

What’s your real name?”

After two more rounds of information and strategic mingling, the murderer would be revealed. So would the winner.

Cook said a points system was in place to add some friendly competition.

Johnson said he and Cook felt lucky to be able to do this.

“We’ve actually seen people meet and be friends outside of this setting just because they both came to this,” Johnson said.

The mysteries happen once a month, and the theme is subject to change. The next one will take place Feb. 22.

Pence terminates Just IN news site

By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agara6

Gov. Mike Pence announced the immediate termination of the “JustIN” website development in a Thursday press release.

The plans for the taxpayer-funded and state-run news site were described Monday in a story published by the Indianapolis Star. The news was met with national backlash from major media outlets such as the Atlantic and the Huffington Post because of the site creators’ apparent disregard for the role of the free press in reporting government news.

“Setting up a state-controlled news source run by the governor in competition with the private sector media is most disturbing, and I am very pleased that the governor has announced the termination of it,” Professor Lee Hamilton, the Director of IU’s Center on Congress, said. “I am puzzled to how it got this far. It’s disturbing that it was even

considered this seriously.”

The governor’s administration is allocating $100,000 of government funds to produce news stories written about the state government by the governor’s staff.

Though some questioned the website’s legality with regards to the First Amendment — no law can be made infringing on the freedom of the press — Maurer School of Law Professor Daniel Conkle said the website would not have violated Constitutional law.

“The fact that the government is speaking is not restricted in any meaningful way by the First Amendment,” Conkle said. “There’s no way to sue the governor or the state of Indiana to stop them from doing this, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.”

Throughout the week, comparisons were made between the Pence administration and other foreign regimes notorious for their stifling of a free media. One CBS opinion piece was ti-

tled, “Welcome to the Gulag, Love, Mike Pence.”

“The way the website was initially described was rather reminiscent of government mouthpieces in Russia or China,” journalism professor Elaine Monaghan said. “We don’t do that kind of thing here.”

Responding to the criticism, Pence made an effort to distance himself from the project, saying that the documents cited by the Star were “poorly crafted.”

Though said documents suggested the site would feature breaking news stories alongside exclusive information on the workings of the Indiana state government, the governor said his intentions for the site were very different.

“He apparently put all of the blame on the staff,” Hamilton said. “That kind of runs contrary to my way of thinking of how a staff works.”

In his most recent press release, Pence said rather than creating a news forum

where reporters can find press releases, he would settle for simply improving the outlet that has been used to distribute press releases in the past.

“I have instructed the Office of Information of Technology to update the current public calendar website to ensure that the press and the public have unfiltered and convenient access to all press releases and public meeting notices,” the press release stated.

It is uncertain whether this political blunder will impact Pence’s potential bid for the presidency, but School of Public and Environmental Affairs professor Robert Agranoff said it is doubtful.

“To be honest with you, it will probably blow over quickly,” Agranoff said.

“There are some other things that might impede his campaign, but things like this tend to blow over.”

It has not been said how the tax money to fund Just IN will now be used.

Mercedes to start manufacturing in northern Indiana From IDS reports

Mercedes-Benz announced a partnership with AM General in Mishawaka, Ind., to manufacture the company’s R-Class luxury vehicle.

The deal was the result of a need to free up production space in Mercedes-Benz’s Tuscaloosa, Ala., plant, according to an AM General press release.

The company anticipates production to begin this summer and will hire and train hundreds of new workers in preparation, according to the release.

“AM General is pleased to have been selected by

Mercedes-Benz to build this vehicle at our world-class commercial vehicle facility in Mishawaka,” said Charlie Hall, President and CEO of AM General, in a press release. “We look forward to a long-term relationship with Mercedes.”

The R-class is a multipurpose vehicle that was first offered in 2006, according to the company’s website.

The Tuscaloosa plant needs greater production capacity to fulfill increasing demand for SUVs, according to the release.

AM General is perhaps best known for their production of the military HMMWV, better known as

the Humvee.

“This is yet another example of AM General’s deep and growing commitment to the cities of Mishawaka and South Bend, the State of Indiana and our highly skilled, hardworking employees,” Hall said in the release.

This will be MercedesBenz’s first and only contract with an operating manufacturer in the United States, according to the release.

U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Mishawaka, applauded the economic development in the release.

“Today’s announcement that Mercedes-Benz

has chosen AM General to produce their vehicles is another great example of the excellent manufacturing provided by AM General that’s able to meet the increasing demands of businesses looking to expand,” Walorski said.

AM General’s South Bend plant is staffed by members of United Auto Workers Local 5. The company has produced more than 1.5 million vehicles across its plants in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, according to a release from the Indiana Business Journal.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “When Pence started his office, he decided his office was going to start funding to reduce the infant mortality rate because it was one of the worst indicators of Indiana,” Kathman said.

“Two others are obesity and smoking, which also impact infant mortality. It was about realizing we had to allocate resources if we were going to make headway.”

Kathman is a committee member of the Indiana Perinatal Quality Improvement Collaborative. The IPQIC began in 2012 and aims to establish a statewide system of care, improve data collection and education, monitor quality improvement and find sources of funding.

Kathman’s committee looks at practices that are working in other states.

One example is California, which has the fourth lowest infant mortality rate in the United States. California’s collaborative started in 1997.

Risk factors Smoking and race are two significant risk factors for increased mortality rates.

According to a 2014 study by the IPQIC, 16.6 percent of Indiana women smoke while pregnant. That rate is 45.2 percent higher than the national average.

For IU Health Bloomington clients, Kathman said the biggest infant mortality issue is maternal health related to smoking.

“Smoking leads to things like preterm delivery and small size for gestational age,” she said.

Another issue is the disparity between races. In 2011, the difference in infant mortality for blacks was nearly double that of whites.

Kathman said Bloomington mirrors this inconsistency, which stems from multiple factors including genetics and economics.

Although their main decades of vintage range from 19501960, they have a collection spanning from the 1930s to the 1990s. Most of their products are vintage, but there is a small section that also carries new items.

Cherry Canary Vintage is a family business. Slone’s mother opened it around 20 years ago at the current location of FARM Bloomington. It used to be called Material Plane, and Zook said she was a frequent visitor of the store as a teenager.

Zook liked the store when Slone’s mother owned it, and still likes it now that Slone is in charge.

“We consider ourselves cooperative competition and we work really well together,” Zook said. “We’re good friends (and) we have a lot of fun so we love doing this.”

Slone and Zook lined the stage’s walls with coat racks filled with vintage coats, sweaters and blouses. Slone and Zook sat at the rear end of the stage, easily accessible for customers curious about any clothing. In the middle of the stage was a long table with vintage accessories such as purses and jewelry.

To the left of the stage was a disc jockey station playing funk and jazz muwomen. Women, Infants and Children is a federally funded program run locally

by IU Health that provides care to children and mothers earning less than 185 percent of the national poverty level.

“The biggest issues in prenatal and postnatal care with our mothers is trying to get themselves on Medicaid,” said Jennifer Hildebrand, WIC program manager. “The system can be slow and this delays care.

Also, after delivery, Medicaid is only good up through six weeks and some women do not have any insurance to fall back on if there are still health issues to be addressed.”

WIC is implementing changes to help reduce infant mortality rates, Hildebrand said.

“We are placing a breastfeeding peer counselor in our local hospital to help with early intervention in breastfeeding,” she said.

“We have partnered with the Tobacco Cessation program through the hospital in order to offer free classes to our participants as well

“We’re just branching out to see if people are into these types of whiskey,” Event Manager Jada Bee said. “But also to give our customers a taste of something’s that’s more top-shelf.”

Bee said that part of the reason she decided to partner with Slone and Zook was to bring a different clientele to Serendipity but also to support local businesses, as free counseling supplies.”

Improving data collection One of the biggest roadblocks to reducing the infant mortality rate is incomplete or inconsistent data collection.

“A lot of the stuff we sometimes make decisions on is almost 10 years old,” Kathman said. “Getting data seems like it shouldn’t be a big deal. However, the way the data is defined and the way it is measured makes it difficult.”

For instance, infant deaths before 28 days, called neonatal, are often tied to the mother’s health during pregnancy. Deaths after four months vary in their causes, including accidents and neglect.

A problem typically drawn from these data sets is that they are also split across regions, making it difficult for medical practitioners to say where the biggest problem areas are for their patients.

Penny Caudill, administrator for the Monroe County Health Department, said she struggled to find data to com-

something she says she has plans for in the future.

For Jessica Berndt and Chaz Mottinger, this was their first pop up store experience. Berndt found the event on Facebook and told Mottinger and a few other friends.

“It just seemed like something different to do than going to a show or just drinking at the bar like usual,” Berndt said.

This is what Bee had been hoping for. Attracting people who don’t normally

frequent Serendipity, and show them they are more than just a martini bar. She mentioned the full kitchen, top shelf alcohol supplied by award-winning bartenders like Doug Spradley.

In the end, it was about converging two demographics for the benefit of local business.

“It’s about bridging that gap between all of us and having some things that wouldn’t necessarily work together, work together,” Bee said.

pare the county’s rates during a five-year period.

“The two things that we have don’t match at all,” she said. “I would be taking a stab in the dark.”

According to the organization Indiana Indicators, the Monroe County infant mortality rate averaged 5.5 infant deaths per 1,000 between 2006 and 2010, which is lower than the state average.

Figuring out the root cause of infant mortality is difficult and certainly something that the state wants to look at, Caudill said.

“I think that going forward we will be able to collect that data much quicker,” she said.

“Especially for a local health department with limited resources, being able to look at it quickly and access trends will be helpful.”

says ‘I’m tired of being pregnant,’” Kathman said.

“Bloomington has been working on that quality indicator since at least 2007. We have had no early elective deliveries in the last at least two years.”

In that regard, Bloomington is a step ahead of the state, Kathman said.

Eliminate early delivery For the past two years, IU Health has worked on preventing unnecessary early deliveries. Early elective deliveries are induced before 39 weeks of gestation and increase the risk of infant mortality.

“It’s when a woman

Structure first The State’s “Healthy People 2020” goal is to decrease the mortality rate to 6 infant deaths per 1,000 live births.

But a solid structure — from maternal care to delivery to infant care — will have to be set in place before Indiana will see declines in its infant mortality rates, Kathman predicted.

“I think we have to just remember that we cannot make huge strides right away, because we don’t have the structure yet,” she said. “We have to have the system in place first. That is probably frustrating. I know it’s frustrating firsthand as somebody who sees sick babies to say, ‘Why can’t we move this along yet?’”

IU looks to utilize home success to take down bottom of Big Ten team

By Alden Woods aldwoods@indiana.edu | @acw9293

IU has played 633 games in Assembly Hall since it opened in 1971.

IU won 530 of those games, picking up the victory almost 84 percent of the time at home.

This season, the Hoosiers have been even better at home, winning 12 of their 13 games. They’ve won all three of their games against ranked opponents this season, including a 19-point thumping of then-No. 13 Maryland last week. They’re outscoring opponents by an average of 17 points per game this season.

Assembly Hall is consistently ranked as one of the country’s most difficult places to play. It’s often the crowd — 17,472 strong — that rattles opponents.

“The fans of Indiana are always great. Even when we were losing last year they were always great,” junior guard Yogi Ferrell said. “They were always loud for us.”

IU is remarkably tough to beat at

Saturday’s game a must win Columnist Casey Krajewski says IU needs an easy win at Rutgers more than ever at idsnews.com home. And that might be its biggest flaw.

The Hoosiers are a different team away from Assembly Hall, winning just three of eight games outside of Bloomington this season.

They’re being outscored by an average of almost seven points in those contests.

Part of that comes from being a young team — IU’s roster features no seniors and just three healthy juniors — but the Hoosiers’ style of play might be the biggest reason for their struggles.

IU relies heavily on the 3-point shot to win games. Shooting its way to wins is almost IU’s only option, especially after starting center Hanner Mosquera-Perea was knocked out of the lineup with a SEE RUTGERS, PAGE 12

Ferrell calls for IU to ‘quit being soft’ before playing Rutgers on Saturday

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

IU’s defensive shortcomings have become more apparent when the Hoosiers aren’t making shots because they’re struggling to force opponents into empty possessions of their own.

IU ranks No. 227 of 351 teams in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency. The team allows opponents to shoot 50.5 percent on 2-point field goals, rarely blocks shots, is vulnerable in the paint and has the 337th-best turnover rate in the country, according to kenpom.com.

The line IU walks is thin, with little margin for error.

When things are falling into place, IU (15-6, 5-3) is beating Maryland by 19 at home. When things are going poorly, IU’s on the other side of the blowout losing back-to-back games to Ohio State and Purdue by a combined

NO. 22 IU (15-6, 5-3) vs. Rutgers (10-11, 2-6) 3:15 p.m., Jan. 31, Assembly Hall 28 points.

Following the most recent loss to Purdue, junior guard Yogi Ferrell offered his diagnosis heading into Saturday’s 3:15 p.m. home game against Rutgers (10-11, 2-6).

“We’ve just got to stop being so soft, man,” Ferrell said. “I feel like when we go out there, we just don’t play with any energy.”

Maryland shot 50.9 percent in Bloomington last week. Ohio State did the Terrapins better, shooting at a 62.3 percent clip. Purdue was only slightly worse, shooting 58.7 percent from the field in arguably the most lop-sided Big Ten loss yet.

The players have taken notice, too. Freshman guard Robert Johnson said it’s the defensive effort SEE TOUGHNESS, PAGE 12

Fisherman discovers really really old thing A fossil from a prehistoric human may have been discovered off the coast of Taiwan. CNN reports the fossilized human jawbone that was discovered by fisherman may reveal a new kind of prehistoric man.

The fossil could go as far back as 200,000 years. While scientists believe human jaws became smaller with evolution, this set of choppers is thick with large molars.

That only means one thing: aliens.

KARL’S KORNER

Pee for a price

Gender by numbers Griffin Leeds is a senior in communication and culture.

A good friend of mine recently made a post on Facebook that, thanks to a catchy jingle, she will always have the number for her hometown’s pizza joint accessible should she need to give a guy a fake phone number.

After enjoying a chuckle of gratitude for savvy marketing mnemonics providing my friend with a way out of such uncomfortable situations, I realized this indicated something more sinister.

It got me thinking about this phenomenon that is so common among women basically from the moment they get cellphones.

Having a fake phone number always at the ready seems crafty, practical or perhaps a little bit quirky.

Then I got to thinking why a woman would need to be able to give out a fake phone number, presumably to a guy she isn’t interested in romantically.

The reason why a woman will want to memorize some ersatz digits is because she will need them when a guy asking for her real phone number won’t take no for an answer.

This is where I discover yet another derivative of our lovely rape culture. It plays out like most other structures of rape culture. It’s like fractal geometry, but grosser.

This isn’t explicitly sexual violence, but it is still ostensible aggressive male behaviors toward women rooted in a sense of entitlement.

It’s certainly on a smaller scale; our society conditions men to think because effort is put forth, they deserve what they were pursuing. That’s what fairness is, right?

It’s this American dream mentality in which labor and reward are directly proportional.

A guy puts himself out there, talks to one of those flesh frames with boobs and that little fun tunnel in her crotch custom-made for his penis.

The least he deserves in return is a tidbit of her contact information so the chase may continue into the realm of digitized courtship.

The fake number is a smokescreen and a damn effective one, too. To those who don’t see how great it is — who knows, maybe a male person hasn’t stopped reading this column by now — it allows a woman to satisfy the immediate desire of the man on the hunt.

He gets the number he was after and doesn’t realize it isn’t bona fide until the woman is safely distanced.

Of course, the woman probably also provides a pseudonym to accompany the pseudo-number. He is going to insist on having a name to match the number on the contacts list. That’s right, ladies; be ready to alter who you are.

Just like you shouldn’t express yourself by dressing in a way that makes you feel good or drink alcohol if a man might be around.

Too risky, you know?

A man’s ego is on the line, and the burden is on the woman to not put that in jeopardy.

If any fellas are still reading, don’t worry. Of course not all guys are like this. For instance, some men are gay and do this to other men instead.

Others are self-aware enough to ask if they’re making women uncomfortable before putting them on the spot. Just understand the “women should just say ‘no’” argument doesn’t work.

Not when women have been conditioned to realize that “no” doesn’t always get the job done, especially when needed most. gmleeds@indiana.edu

GRIFFIN LEEDS | IDS

Loving for all WE SAY: Supreme Court to rectify inequality The decades-long fight about equal rights for gay men and lesbians will reach its crescendo this June when the Supreme Court will finally rule whether or not same-sex couples have the right to marry.

A decision by the 6th Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals that upheld bans on same-sex marriage created a conflict with appellate courts that declared similar bans unconstitutional.

This conflict is the likely reason why the Supreme Court has decided to pick up the case.

The Court is set to specifically address two questions: Does the 14th Amendment require a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex? And does the 14th Amendment require a state to recognize the marriage of two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out of state?

It was inevitable that it would come to this, and the Editorial Board believes it is inevitable that the Supreme Court will make the right decision and finally afford to same sex-couples one of the most basic American rights.

Heterosexual couples have had this right since the birth of our Constitution. They’ve never had to feel the pang of worthlessness that comes with being told your relationship is inferior because it just happens to be with a person of the same sex.

They’ve never had to feel the social ostracism same-sex couples feel.

Wait, take that back. This has all happened before. It was the ‘60s, and instead of same-sex marriage it was interracial marriage. The Supreme Court legalized interracial marriage in 1967 with Loving v. Virginia.

The fight for marriage equality for same-sex couples has proven to be eerily similar to the one for interracial couples.

This is a good thing because Loving v. Virginia indicates precedent. You can guarantee the case will be cited in arguments before the justices come June. For good reason, too.

The Loving v. Virginia decision showed the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause was in violation by laws banning interracial marriage.

Sound familiar? It should, because

that’s exactly what’s at stake today.

The prohibition of same-sex marriage is unconstitutional: 36 states agree with that statement, 14 do not. In 1967, 33 states agreed that the prohibition of interracial marriage was unconstitutional, 17 did not. See a pattern here?

The similarities between the two cases are uncanny. The Supreme Court made the right decision then, and it will again in June.

The 36 states that allow gay marriage encompass 70 percent of the population. The Supreme Court couldn’t possibly decide against that many people.

Justice Antonin Scalia, in his dissent during the DOMA case of 2013, said the countrywide legalization of same-sex marriage is “inevitable.” He’s right.

When the Supreme Court decides in favor of marriage equality, for the first time in this country’s history, no longer will same-sex couples be made to feel like second-class citizens.

No longer will they be denied the marriage they deserve. No longer will they be deprived of the life and the liberty the 14th Amendment guarantees.

THOMPSON’S TWO CENTS

Palin Trump 2016: Go, ‘Merica “You can absolutely say that I am seriously interested.”

These were the beautiful words uttered by former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin when asked by the Washington Post if she is considering a presidential run in 2016. Yeah, you heard right. Sarah Palin is in the news again, and it’s surprising Republicans as much as anyone else.

As the Chicago Tribune reports, several Republican commentators are rolling back their support for the one-time darling of the far right. Craig Robinson of the Iowa Republican Blog called her recent 35-minute string of clichéd one-liners and run-on sentences in Iowa last weekend “a long and incoherent speech.”

Charles C.W. Cooke of the National Review wrote

quite eloquently of Palin’s remarks, “The foreordained culmination of a slow and unseemly decent into farce.” By the way, this is from the same news outlet that deemed her “mesmerizing” back in 2008.

My favorite, however, was Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, who walked back his early support of Palin with a quick and poignant “Did I say that recently?”

While it can be quite fun and just plain easy to make fun of the conservative caricature Palin is, her rise to fame and her stubborn persistence in Republican politics is representative of a much larger issue the GOP must address if it wishes to connect with the hearts of America once again.

Despite what you may think about Palin or fellow sideshow Donald Trump, if

either were to actually jump into the Republican presidential primary, they would undoubtedly gain enough attention and support from the fringes of the party to be considered serious contenders — if only for a brief time.

Don’t worry, America. There is absolutely no chance either would be able to sustain enough support to actually win the nomination.

However let’s not forget this is the party which in 2012 briefly saw Herman Cain as the front-runner for the presidential nomination. You know, the guy whose qualifications to hold the highest office in all the land was that he was really, really good at selling pizza.

These fringe candidates the GOP is so fond of elevating don’t need to get the nomination to cause major problems for Republicans.

Jared Thompson is a junior in public management.

It was the very existence of such a level of crazy in 2012 that helped remind voters why President Obama was elected in the first place, and if Republicans are ever going to be able to been seen as the sane, mature party for presidential politics, they need to dismiss these individuals quickly.

Based on the reactions to Palin’s announcement, it appears the party is trying to do just that. But the bigger question is: Will those candidates and their voters play along? I hope, for comedy’s sake, they don’t. thompjak@umail.iu.edu

Imagine a world where you could peacefully go to the bathroom whenever you wanted.

Adiós, anxious pee dance.

Hello, rewarding music of a crisp toilet flush.

Airpnp, an app designed for emergencies “down there,” lets you christen a stranger’s toilet for a small fee.

I probably have a tiny bladder, because I can recall multiple occasions where I’ve been at a loss of what to do because I need to find a bathroom.

I get tunnel vision.

I think everyone’s had that moment when you’re squatting behind some random bush on trespassed property, praying that nobody sees you rid yourself of your bodily fluids.

All you want is a toilet, but no, there are thorns everywhere and you’re unsure if your underwear accidentally touched the dirt on the ground.

There’s a 50 percent chance your business got on your pants, but you quickly gather your wits and head out into the real world.

Now those harrowing experiences can become distant memories.

The past is finally in the past.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there is an app for every plight of the common human.

It’s fantastic, unnecessary, but oddly accessible at the same time.

Co-founders Max Gaudin and Brian Berlin created the Airpnp app.

It allows for business to get done pronto.

No need to wait in pesky lines or have that annoying pregnant woman cut you.

The saying “mi casa es su casa,” has never been more applicable.

Airpnp allows people to rent their royal thrones to strangers in need.

These bathrooms could be creepy and possibly unsanitary, but the need for relief is real, and sometimes you just gotta go.

A stranger’s bathroom is now your oyster — you can sing, grunt, bob for apples, have a rave or just do your business.

It sounds great in theory, but there are a few significant flaws that make Airpnp a messy app.

For instance, according to Airpnp the only private restroom available in Indiana for a good ol’ pit stop is located in West Lafayette, a two-hour drive away.

To use the “Hilltop Boiler Restroom,” it’s a grand $2.00.

Unfortunately, it’s advertised as “the best Purdue restroom out there,” which in Hoosier language is code for “the worst bathroom in the whole entire world.”

I’m okay with admitting I’d rather pee my pants than take a tinkle in a Purdue latrine.

But maybe doing number two would give me some strange satisfaction.

Eat that, random Purdue toilet.

I’m not sure which would be worse, being the renter of the toilet or being the host of the bathroom.

On one side, if you were the host, your bathroom sanctuary would hopefully be clean.

But would it be clean after you allow complete strangers with a dire need to use the facilities, use your facility?

On the other side, the stranger’s bathroom you paid real money to use is probably A. full of drugs, B. infested with asbestos, C. smells like an elephant’s ass, or D. all of the above.

It’s a lose-lose situation.

You might just have to hold it. jlkarl@indiana.edu

IU seniors star in BPP musical ‘Make Me Bad’

By Lanie Maresh emaresh@indiana.edu

The thought of senior Maddie Baldwin performing in her last show with her best friend, senior Markus McClain, made her eyebrows sink and her lips frown.

The IU musical theatre majors met at a callback for “Bombshell,” which was put on by the Bloomington Playwrights Project during their freshman year.

“We were looking at a production book on the table in the lobby laughing at newspaper clippings,” Baldwin said. “We were just goofing around and then became best friends. Freshman year and first semester, we played mimes together.”

Now, three years later, Baldwin and McClain will star as the lead roles in “Make Me Bad,” along with a full cast of IU Theatre actors, at 7:30 p.m. Friday

night at the Bloomington Playwrights Project.

Based on the book by Alex Brightman, the musical follows Daisy Harris, a young woman who runs away from her small town because she feels trapped. Once she runs into serial killer Max, they form a surprising and mysterious relationship that leads to trouble.

The Bloomington Playwrights Project is the only professional theater in Indiana that showcases new plays. McClain said this is the first time “Make Me Bad” will be performed.

“There’s been readings and stuff in New York, but there’s never been a real-life production,” McClain said.

“That’s something new and exciting. The writers have been specifically excited about seeing the set, lighting, costuming and technical elements that weren’t

there previously.”

McClain and Baldwin said they mostly worked on the music with Ben Smith and Nathan Blustein, music professionals from the Jacobs School of Music.

However, they still had the opportunity to work with the creator of the music and lyrics, Drew Gasparini.

“He added more input in saying, ‘When I wrote this, this is what I wanted,’” McClain said. “He did it for the music director and for us so that we understand his vision.”

Baldwin said she and McClain spent most of their time learning the music because they sing the majority of the songs.

McClain said there is a rock band that plays the music during the show to accompany the pop-rock score. “(It adds) a gritty sound

and contributes to the dark side of the show,” McClain said.

He also said the music adds more depth of emotion to the characters.

“When they’re more vulnerable, it’s lighter-tone pop, and when they’re passionate, love-making, it’s definitely more rock,” McClain said.

David Sheehan, one of the directors, said in an email the show creates an atmosphere where he’s found himself genuinely afraid of what could happen on stage in rehearsal. “‘Make Me Bad’ is a dark play,” Sheehan said. “It’s exploring the mind of a serial killer, even falling a little bit in love with the mind of a serial killer. It’s a scary place.

It’s nothing you wouldn’t see watching a late-night crime drama, but because it’s right in front of you, live,

because you can’t change the channel ... it’s all the more terrifying.”

Baldwin and McClain said they are thrilled to work together one last time before

they graduate.

“It’s pretty sick,” Baldwin said. “And together, as best friends during senior year, to be playing serial killer rock stars is pretty cool.”

RAIN: A Tribute to The Beatles will be performing at the IU Auditorium Feb. 24. The show will feature songs originally sung by the Beatles and will last approximately two hours.

Beatles tribute concert coming to IU Auditorium From IDS reports

“RAIN: A Tribute to The Beatles” will open at 8 p.m.

Feb. 25 at the IU Auditorium.

RAIN, a group composed of 13 musicians, was founded in the mid-1970s by Mark Lewis, the group’s former keyboardist and current manager. The group was originally called “Reign” and had four members including Lewis.

Based in California, the band toured around Los Angeles and the surrounding Orange County, Calif. region.

Following the breakup of the Beatles in 1970, Reign “rode the enormous wave of nostalgia left behind,” according to a press release from the IU Auditorium.

Following numerous mistakes in name misspellings, Reign switched its name to RAIN, which is also a title for a 1966 Beatles single. In 1979, the group rose to fame when RAIN was hired by Dick Clark to record the music for the made-for-TV movie “Birth of

the Beatles.”

Since then, RAIN distinguished itself by approaching its music with authenticity, according to the release.

“The performers of RAIN approach the Beatles’ music with the same respect a classical musician treats classical music,” the release reads.

All music is live, with no prerecorded tapes or sequences. RAIN has studied each song, each note, each movement and nuance of the Beatles’ music for years, according to the release.

The Beatles’ discography will be performed live onstage at the IU Auditorium.

Songs featured will vary from earlier releases in the Beatles’ career and their later classics like “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “Hard Day’s Night,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Let It Be,” “Come Together” and “Hey Jude.”

RAIN’s performance will be accompanied by new LED,

RAIN Student tickets $21-42 Non-student tickets $39-63 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24 IU Auditorium high-definition screens and a multimedia content experience, according to the release.

New songs will be included with the launch of RAIN’s 2015 tour.

“The Beatles are undeniably one of the world’s most beloved bands, and RAIN flawlessly brings to life the sound and spirit of these musical legends,” Doug Booher, IU Auditorium director, said in the release. “For the many of us who never got the chance to see the Beatles play live, and even for those who did, this brilliant concert experience will blow audiences away with its flawless musical renditions and spectacular visual displays. Get ready for an event you’ll never forget!”

Javier Arrebola, a Spanish pianist, is a post-doctoral scholar and visiting assistant professor of voice/ collaborative piano at the Jacobs School of Music.

He and baritone Reuben Walker are pairing together for a faculty/student concert at the music school.

The concert will take place at 8 p.m. Friday in Auer Hall.

The concert was originally scheduled to take place Feb. 1.

Walker and Arrebola will be performing Franz Schubert’s “Winterreise (A Winter’s Journey).”

Respected as a

collaborative musician, according to the music school, Arrebola performs in solo recitals, concerts with orchestras and chamber music and art-song collaborations.

Arrebola also collaborated with the National Youth Orchestra of Spain and represented Spain at the Schwetzingen Music Festival in Germany.

Arrebola has been invited twice to the FranzSchubert-Institut in Austria as well as to the Aurora Chamber Music Festival in Sweden, according to the music school.

Experienced in teaching, Arrebola taught at the Universidad Mayor of Santiago de Chile and at

the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland.

Additionally, Arrebola has offered concerts in several countries including Germany, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Peru, Chile, Canada and the United States, according to the music school press release.

One of Arrebola’s recent projects has been the public performance of all of Schubert’s finished piano sonatas, both on historical and modern instruments.

Arrebola is also working on his doctoral dissertation on Schubert’s unfinished piano sonatas.

Yes, you are still a virgin.

Even if your brother or any other older boy or adult penetrated you when you were a child, you are still a virgin. Many things happen to children that they cannot control. Children cannot consent or agree to sex in the way that teenagers or adults can make choices about their body or their sexual feelings.

Now that you are older, you can make choices about who you want to be sexual with and when and why and under what

circumstances.

You didn’t mention how you are feeling about this experience as a child, but if you want to seek counseling or talk with someone about it, you can find a therapist through the website of the American Psychological Association which is apa.org or you can talk with someone through the Rape, Abuse and Incest Network which is rainn.org.

Not everyone who was molested or abused as a child has bad feelings about it.

Some people feel like they were too young to understand.

Some people feel like it was something wrong the other person did but that fortunately they were not harmed by it. And if you don’t have those bad feelings, that is okay too.

Sometimes I’ve had college students in my class

who wonder if something is wrong with them for not hating the person who abused them or for not feeling damaged, and there’s not.

Research is clear that children who have had sexual contact with much older kids or with adults have a very wide range of reactions to those experiences. If you don’t need to talk with anyone about it or get additional support, there’s no need to, but I wanted to offer you some resources just in case. I wish you only the best.

Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., is a research fellow and sexual health educator at IU’s Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. She is the author of five books about sex, including Sex Made Easy: Your Awkward Questions Answered for Better, Smarter, Amazing Sex. Check us out online at KinseyConfidential.org

SOFTBALL

Young crop brings hope for new year

Junior guard Yogi Ferrell talks with the coaching staff from the court during the game against Penn State on Feb. 12, 2014, at Assembly Hall.

» TOUGHNESS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 that will ultimately dictate how long IU’s season is going to go. He said the team is committed to getting the stops it needs, but they’ve come too few and far between.

But the blame isn’t squarely on the defense when the offense is setting itself up for failure on the defensive end.

The second half against Purdue had too many turnovers leading to transition scores for IU Coach Tom Crean’s liking. In one sequence just before

» RUTGERS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 knee injury.

When long-distance shots are falling, IU’s been deadly efficient offensively, like when it made 15 3-pointers to beat Maryland.

When the Hoosiers can’t get 3-pointers to fall, though, that’s when trouble starts.

Where IU’s taking those shots has a direct effect on

halftime, freshman guard James Blackmon Jr. turned the ball over looking for sophomore guard Troy Williams, which led to a Purdue steal and layup.

Just before the halftime buzzer, Purdue’s Bryson Scott went coast-to-coast in just over four seconds to give the Boilermakers a double-digit lead at the half.

It wasn’t a secret formula or a new defensive scheme. Purdue just never allowed IU to get comfortable and let the flow of its offense take control. It’s not too unlike the same strategy Ohio State deployed just

days earlier.

“We wanted to stop them from getting in rhythm and being able to make those shots,” Scott said. “When we took that away from them, I felt they were out of sync.”

After losing to Ohio State on Sunday, Ferrell said the Hoosiers couldn’t continue to lose games like they did against the Buckeyes. They followed that up against Purdue with a similar performance.

Another task lies ahead with Rutgers, although the Scarlet Knights have one of the least-effective offenses in the country, ranked No.

255 in offensive efficiency.

But at this point, those numbers don’t assure anything. Ferrell has experienced that in his three years at IU, riding the highs and lows of the Big Ten season.

Now his teammates are learning, too. They’re learning on the fly. And as each game comes and goes, the NCAA Tournament selection show draws nearer.

“We think it’s going to be easier than it is, especially guys who haven’t been here and played in the Big Ten,” Ferrell said. “Now I guess we’re learning the hard way.”

how often they go in. The Hoosiers make just more than two more 3-pointers per game at home than on the road. That’s an automatic six additional points IU picks up in Assembly Hall.

Luckily for IU, six of its final 10 regular-season games are at home. The first of those comes Saturday against Rutgers, which is by most measures the Big Ten’s worst team. The Scarlet Knights

rank last in the conference in scoring, field goal percentage, 3-point field goal percentage and scoring margin and are a bottom-half team in every other statistical category.

In its first Big Ten season, Rutgers is 2-6, including a win against Wisconsin that looks more like a fluke with each Scarlet Knight loss. It’s the perfect situation — the conference’s worst team and

a return to Assembly Hall — for IU to recover from backto-back losses on the road.

In those two losses, IU averaged just 68.5 points per game. IU Coach Tom Crean said he’ll look to simplify the offense going forward.

“We don’t need to be complicated,” he said. “We don’t have guys that are good enough to play a complicated game ... We just didn’t simplify the game enough.”

For now, you’ll still need a heavy coat, some sort of hat and maybe even some gloves.

But spring is just around the corner, which comes with sunshine, doubleheaders and home runs. Softball is almost here.

The IU softball team, which has been practicing indoors at the John Mellencamp Pavilion, is gearing up to begin its regular season with one of the youngest teams in the nation, welcoming eight incoming freshmen.

“The word that can sum it up: excited,” senior Lora Olsen said. “It’s a big group of young girls, but they have surprised us all preseason. We knew they were good coming in, but they have already proved so much, it’s simply amazing,” The eight incoming players combined to record a .463 batting average and 1.8 ERA in addition to earning 59 individual awards and setting 10 school records in high school.

“This young group is awesome,” senior Brianna Myer said. “The thing that has stuck out to me is their work ethic.

They have come in and exceeded everyone’s expectations with how hard they are willing to work. They kind of push the upperclassmen to work a little harder.”

The girls’ work ethic, along with their goofy nature, brings an atmosphere to practice that has IU Coach Michelle Gardner smiling.

“I enjoy coming to practice everyday,” Gardner said. “I believe they have found the big picture and know where they want to go. Setting goals for themselves but having fun and enjoying themselves while

getting there.”

For the seniors on this team, it’s their last time around the bases, and they said they want to make it enjoyable.

Olson, a senior, had some advice for the freshmen.

“Enjoy and understand the gravity of being a Big Ten college athlete,” Olson said. “I really didn’t understand it back then, but I realize how much pride goes into wearing that Indiana jersey and how big of a deal it is to me and all the girls who have worn it before.”

It’s almost time to put those jerseys on. With the season quickly approaching, the message in the locker room has been to focus.

“I honestly believe the potential is there to do great things,” Gardner said. “But it starts with focus, not making one thing bigger than another.

Just being prepared for whoever is on the other side of the field.”

The IU softball team posted an overall record of 17-391 and 5-18 in the Big Ten last season. With new additions to the team that bring power at the plate and speed on the bases, the team is looking to improve on that record in 2015.

The team opens its season with back-to-back doubleheaders at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz. The Hoosiers will face off against Western Michigan and Oregon State on Feb. 6 and San Diego and Arizona State on Feb. 7.

“In my opinion, this group has the best potential than any other group of girls we have ever had in my four years,” Myer said. “The freshmen have come in and proved to everyone that they are willing to work and are ready to have success.”
