Greenfield man sentenced for murder

By Matt Bloom aambloom@indiana.edu | @matthew_bloom

GREENFIELD, Ind. – A 31-year-old father was sentenced to 65 years in prison with 2.5 years of probation Wednesday for the murder of his 1-year-old daughter.

While addressing the Hancock Superior Court, Matthew S. Wagoner insisted he was not solely responsible for her death and said he would appeal the court’s decision.

“I’m not going to apologize for what I did,” Wagoner said in response to the court’s charges. “I accept neglect but nothing else.”

At 9:32 a.m. May 28, 2015, Greenfield police received a 9-1-1 call from the Wagoner’s home. They found 1-year-old Zoey Wagoner lying on the floor just inside the home’s side door. Matthew Wagoner was kneeling at her side, doing chest

compressions. Jessica Wagoner, Zoey’s mother and Matthew’s wife, was standing outside the home, crying, alongside a friend, Krista Coffin, who sometimes babysat Zoey.

When taking Zoey to the hospital, police saw the cut on her forehead and the bruises on her stomach, but what they didn’t see were the healing abrasions on her elbow, radius and humerus that were found during her autopsy. These were injuries sustained months before.

Later that morning, after an ambulance took her to Hancock Regional Hospital, Zoey was pronounced dead. Her cause of death was determined to be multiple blunt force traumatic injuries due to assault. She was beaten to death.

Zoey’s autopsy report also includes contusions of the lips and hemorrhaging of the eyes, neck and internal organs.

Matthew’s sentencing comes after months of investigation into Zoey’s death.

Jessica has a sentencing hearing scheduled for March 2. She is facing charges of neglect of a dependent causing serious bodily injury, to which she plead guilty Feb. 3.

According to the case’s probable cause affidavit, Jessica went to work the morning of the 28th after leaving Zoey with Matthew. That morning, she got a text from Matthew saying Zoey had stopped breathing. Jessica called Krista and told her to come to her house immediately.

When she arrived at home, Matthew was already performing CPR on Zoey. * * * Zoey was born May 12, 2014, in Carmel,

IU is on a list of 165 postsecondary institutions that have pending Title IX sexual violence investigations, conducted by the Office of Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Education.

According to the document, the Bloomington campus has two current cases. One was opened in March 2014, and the other in June 2015.

The list, updated weekly and available upon request, consists of cases that were either opened due to compliance reviews or outside complaints. The DOE cannot disclose any specific information regarding the IU investigations.

“OCR is a law enforcement agency,” DOE Press Officer Jim Bradshaw said. “And like most law enforcement organizations, it doesn’t discuss the details of ongoing investigations.”

In a 2014 press release, the University said they were complying with the DOE, and the process is a routine that hundreds of institutions go through regularly. Up to that point, the office confirmed it had no standing complaints regarding the Bloomington campus’s procedures on sexual assault.

The investigations involve IU giving data, reports of sexual assault and details of their procedures to the DOE. The department said it then uses its results to guide the University in updating their policies.

The University said the Office of Student Welfare and Title IX takes the findings of the investigation seriously, and they use the results to reform current procedures, as well as begin new initiatives to prevent sexual assault and provide help to survivors.

At IU, the Office of Student Welfare and Title IX works Universitywide with multiple offices to meet its goals of investigation, prevention and guidance for sexual assault victims.

“In my role, I work with all campuses on our response and prevention to sexual misconduct, in guiding and coordinating our efforts, and overseeing compliance with Title IX, VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) and IU policy,” said Emily Springston, IU chief student welfare

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Bielfeldt faces family school in Illinois on Thursday as Hoosier The athletic department’s administration building has his name on it.

He has a younger sister at Illinois who used to play on the volleyball team. He has an older sister who is married to former Illinois basketball player Meyers Leonard. Both of his parents are Illini and his grandpa played football at Illinois.

But when senior forward Max Bielfeldt takes the court Thursday night at the State Farm Center, he’ll do so as a Hoosier.

Illinois didn’t heavily recruit Bielfeldt while he was at Peoria Notre Dame High School. Tom Lacher, the basketball coach at Peoria Notre Dame was an assistant while Bielfeldt was there, and said the Illini didn’t get into the game until late.

“I think they were a little lethargic and it was a case of too little too late,” Lacher said. “Michigan had already sold Max on going there.”

Bielfeldt’s recruitment started slowly. Ball State and Western Michigan were selling Bielfeldt the hardest, but as Bielfeldt helped Peoria Notre Dame keep winning, interest grew.

As Bielfeldt was in the midst of a season where he averaged 22.1

points and 11.4 rebounds a game and led a 28-0 team into sectionals, teams like Michigan, West Virginia and Florida noticed.

Illinois, an hour and a half away from Peoria, noticed too. But they offered the best player on the No. 1 team in the state a spot as a preferred walk on.

So by the time Illinois did offer a scholarship, Lacher wasn’t surprised when Bielfeldt chose Michigan.

“When he had his commitment day he had both a Michigan hat and an Illinois hat on the table and he picked Michigan which wasn’t a big surprise to anybody,” Lacher said.

When Michigan decided to not renew Bielfeldt’s scholarship for this season and he was looking for schools to use his last year of eligibility, Lacher said Illinois was not one of the many schools calling him about Bielfeldt. He did say IU was also not one of the schools who contacted him.

But since Bielfeldt has arrived in Bloomington, he’s been huge for the

Max Major asked me to play a game during our interview. We swapped phones and he asked me to do two things: trust my instincts and answer his questions without hesitation.

He asked for two one-digit numbers between 0 and 9, snapping his fingers as I answered, and then asked for a two digit number. His

phone unlocked under my fingers.

When Major was 10 years old he got his first Rubix cube, and for the next 8 years he performed magic tricks as a hobby for family and neighbors. Now 32, he can solve a Rubix cube blindfolded in 8 seconds. Major became interested in mentalism at 18, when his father was hypnotized to stop smoking.

RISE for IUSA announces run

By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich

After seeing the number of passionate students in last year’s election, sophomores Naomi Kellogg and Nate Meyers said they knew they needed to run for office as soon as possible.

When it came time for this year’s election, Kellogg and Meyers decided to start their campaign, RISE for IU Student Association.

Juniors Chesley Swann and Kyle Messer joined Kellogg and Meyers for a campaign with the slogan “Friends first, Leaders second.”

Kellogg is the ticket’s presidential candidate with Meyers as the vice president of congress, Swann as vice president of administration and Messer as treasurer.

POLICIES RISE is an acronym that stands for their policies of reach, inclusion, safety and experience.

REACH RISE wants to create a culture that takes what previous administrations have done and builds on it the following year.

Though they also have their own initiatives, RISE plans to look at initiatives already in place and see how they can continue implementing them, Kellogg said.

“We want to take that work, build on it and then bring our new ideas to the table,” Kellogg said.

Another aspect of reach is helping other student organizations become more successful.

Helping every organization use the resources the

University offers is important to helping them achieve their goals for the year, Swann said.

INCLUSION Kellogg said RISE has set a large focus on making their ticket as inclusive as possible, reaching out to people who might not have otherwise been involved in student government.

However, inclusion extends beyond just their ticket, Kellogg said.

RISE is working towards creating a more inclusive campus as well.

“We may come from different backgrounds, but we all have this common goal in mind, to really be successful here at IU,” Swann said.

Working on policy for the international community, freshman Joseph Cullather focuses on going directly to international students and asking about their needs.

Cullather has reached out to culture centers and had round table discussions with them about issues they face.

“Building the policy platform from the ground up, directly from what the students want, is all about inclusion,” Cullather said.

SAFETY To create a safe environment on campus, RISE is focusing on two key initiatives: increased sexual assault prevention and increased lighting on campus.

Junior Dylan Lanoff is in charge of sexual assault policy. Her goal is to target this problem from the core and teach students about sexual assault as soon as they enter the University.

Ways to change the current sexual assault culture are increasing consent educa-

tion, bystander intervention training and sexual health training.

“We’re really trying to change that culture before it really begins,” Lanoff said.

To improve lighting on campus, RISE’s plan includes doing a quality audit of lighting on campus. Kellogg said the amount of lighting changes depending on the location.

“Not all lighting is created equal,” Kellogg said.

EXPERIENCE Creating a memorable college experience for all students is another focus of RISE’s campaign. The ticket wants to focus on connecting with the Bloomington community, not just those on the University campus.

A policy Meyers said he is excited about is starting a local business fair on campus. With a wealth of local business in Bloomington, having a fair could be mutually beneficial for both students and businesses, he said.

“There’s often a disconnect between the small businesses and the student body,” Meyers said.

Another plan to improve the college experience is having tabling days for student organizations with philanthropic ties. This allows these organizations to be more connected to the students and the community, Kellogg said.

For example, an organization such as the Crimson Cupboard, which educates students on food insecurity, could set up a table outside of a c-store. Students could then use their meal points to donate food or supplies to the cupboard.

“It allows students to see

that we really are there for them and we are advocating for them every single day,” Kellogg said.

Another way to improve the experience on campus is through increasing sustainability on campus.

Junior Steven Aranyi has made this policy his focus.

“There’s clearly ridiculous untapped potential on this campus and off campus,” Aranyi said.

RISE is focusing on little behavioral changes on campus, such as increasing recycling or adding energy stickers on every light switch.

“On a campus of over 40,000, it’s those little changes that really have a big impact on our environment,” Meyers said.

NEXT STEPS As it continues to build its policy and team, RISE will continue to bring in new people and hear their perspectives on campus issues.

“We’re really focused on reaching those student leaders that have so much passion and so much care for what’s going on,” Kellogg said.

Kellogg said a lot of ideas IUSA tries to implement are already being done on a smaller scale within other organizations on campus.

It’s important to tap into that potential to get things done on a larger scale, Kellogg said.

Making promises they can keep is a priority for every member of RISE. All policies they make must be feasible, Kellogg said.

Kellogg said the campaign or winning doesn’t matter if nothing gets done in office.

“It is all worthless if you don’t get things done,” Kellogg said.

Campaign raises scholarship funds

By Nyssa Kruse nakruse@umail.iu.edu | @NyssaKruse

When students are disowned by family because of their sexuality or gender identity, some students find another family through the IU LGBT community, said Doug Bauder, office coordinator of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Student Support Services.

Scholarships available through the IU GLBT Alumni Association can alleviate financial burdens and also act as symbolic support.

“It is a token, but it makes a difference,” Bauder said.

IU GLBTAA scholarships are expanding thanks to a campaign that has raised over $810,000 since its start in 2013.

Bauder said there is a possibility of raising up to $2 million by the conclusion of the campaign in 2017.

“We are the first university campus to raise scholarships for LGBTQ students

and our allies,” said Mike Shumate, former president of the GLBTAA. “It reflects on the environment of our university.”

The GLBTAA wants more flexibility to determine need, Bauder said, which could potentially include full tuition.

Full tuition coverage is a long-term goal with GLBT scholarships.

For the past 11 years, the GLBTAA has offered two kinds of scholarships to LGBT students and their allies.

The first are academic scholarships, which are available to students who show strong classroom performance and active leadership on LGBT issues.

The second are emergency scholarships, which are available to students who face financial hardship because of their sexuality or gender identity. Often, these students’ parents have disowned them or cut them off financially.

Scholarship amounts were recently doubled, so academic scholarships are $2000 and emergency scholarships are $3000.

“This is the first step we’ve taken,” Shumate said. “We intend to continue to increase the amount depending on the continued success of the campaign.”

When students say GLBTAA scholarships helped them stay in school, Shumate said it confirms his feeling that the campaign is the most meaningful volunteer project he has been involved with at IU. He said the campaign and GLBTAA scholarships are guided by a saying: Students should not have to choose between living openly and honestly and receiving an IU education.

Shumate said he could never have imagined the support and resources currently available to LGBT students when he was an IU student in the ’60s.

“It’s so different today,” Shumate said.

Some money from the campaign will be invested in the IU Foundation, of which Shumate is the board director.

This investment will ensure the continuance of the fund as money in the IU Foundation is invested and receives returns, Shumate said.

The campaign, which has received national attention, is part of a larger trend in the United States, Bauder said.

“What we’re doing is symbolic of what’s happening in this country — just greater acceptance of GLBT individuals,” Bauder said.

Shumate said progress in acceptance of LGBT people is worth celebrating, but added that when he reads news about issues particularly facing gender-nonconforming individuals, he is reminded of the work that lies ahead.

“We still have a lot to do,” Shumate said.

Raj Acharya has been named the new dean of the IU School of Informatics and Computing.

July 1 will be Acharya’s first day, according to an IU press release. His appointment will be subject to the IU Board of Trustees’ confirmation.

Acharya is currently a professor and director of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Penn State in University Park, Pennsylvania.

IU Provost Lauren Robel said in the release Acharya’s “inclusive, interdisciplinary and international vision” is what makes him the ideal leader for the School of Informatics and Computing.

“He has deep experience in bringing faculty together to create new programs, as well as in bringing together existing programs and inspiring people in new ways,” Robel said in the release. “I am eager to work with him to continue the momentum of this innovative and important school.”

Acharya was selected in a nationwide search by a committee of alumni, faculty representatives and students created last fall.

He holds a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Minnesota and a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine.

Acharya is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

For 14 years, Acharya served as Penn State’s head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.

He was appointed to conduct classified research at the Penn State Applied Research Laboratory, was a research scientist as General Electric (Thomson) CSF Laboratory in Paris and was a research fellow for labs at NASA and the the U.S. Department of Defense.

At Penn State, Acharya began four centers of excellence, created a graduate certificate in Embedded Systems and in security, and brought together a team to secure a National Science Foundation research infrastructure grant.

Penn State’s computer science research expenditure moved from 64th in the nation in 2001 to eighth in the nation in 2013, during Acharya’s time at the school, according to the release.

The department was also awarded a $10 million National Science Foundation Expedition award, a $35.5 million U.S. Army Network Sciences Award and a $48 million U.S. Army Collaborative Research Alliances Award.

Acharya also serves on the board of a technology based-economic development organization called VideoMining and Technology Collaborative.

“Once you bring all of these people together, there’s a cross pollination of ideas. Usually the most exciting reseach happens at the fronteirs of fields.”

Raj Acharya, incoming dean of the School of Informatics and Computing

Acharya has developed systems widely used in academia and industry, according to the release, and is a published scholar and a thought leader on big data mining, network sciences and engineering, and genomics.

The School of Informatics and Computing’s national reputation as one of the first and finest programs in the nation attracted Acharya to the school, he said in the release.

He was also drawn by the opportunity to help build the school’s new engineering program and to work on solutions to challenges the nation is currently facing.

One of Acharya’s goals is to bring scholars of different fields together to promote interdisciplinary research.

Acharya said in the release he believes the School of Informatics and Computing is the ideal place for this collaboration because of its scholars in areas like computer science, informatics, information and library science, as well as intelligent systems engineering.

“Once you bring all of these people together, there’s a cross-pollination of ideas,” Acharya said in the release. “Usually, the most exciting research happens at the frontiers of fields.”

Brad Wheeler, who has served as the School of Informatics and Computing’s interim dean since last November, said in the release he is delighted to see Acharya join the school.

Wheeler also said in the release Acharya is coming to the school at a tremendous time of momentum in helping strengthening the state’s economy.

“He has an extraordinary record of bringing people together,” Wheeler said in the release. “His record of achievement in leading teams to excellence in research and education is outstanding.”

Local needle exchange fights stigma of drugs

By Emily Beck emebeck@indiana.edu | @emebeck1

It’s a warm Sunday night on Feb. 21, and Peoples Park is bustling. People sit on benches, lounge on statues and stand talking in haphazard circles. The ground is littered with plastic bags and possessions.

A big beige truck glides to a stop on the park’s north end, just like every Sunday.

On its side reads “Indiana Recovery Alliance,” the organization that began Monroe County’s first and only needle exchange program.

Coffee and clothes are given out in the open, but inside the privacy of the truck, a nurse treats anyone who needs it while volunteers give out safety supplies, sign people up for the needle exchange program and give them clean syringes.

“I need a ten pack,” a man wearing a hat says before being welcomed into the truck.

Some need clean needles to use drugs safely, while others need them for hormone, insulin or other injections.

Needle exchange volunteers don’t ask for names or what the syringes will be used for. They only need to know how many syringes a person needs until they can come back again, to drop off used ones and pick up more.

“Our target is for IV drug users to use a clean syringe every time they shoot,” Chris Abert, and alliance founder, said.

The alliance only tracks the number of participants in the program and the number of syringes given out and received, Abert said. They use that information to track the effectiveness of the program.

“But nobody’s personal information is revealed,” he said.

The volunteers and the people seeking help talk together. Some know each other by name.

One of these volunteers has track marks.

She’s experienced what other drug users have — she’s been addicted to heroin before. She knows what it’s like to be stigmatized and treated like a second-class citizen.

For this reason, the Indiana Daily Student has agreed to not identify her, as to not jeopardize her work and personal safety.

For a year, she could barely make it 24 hours without shooting up. She knows the desperation of needing the next high, the misery of withdrawal and the cold sweats and hot flashes of a detox.

She got help, though, and detoxed at home before going for three months to a treatment center. She stayed sober for a while but recently began using again.

She knows the need for clean syringes — for some, they can mean life or death.

But even more importantly, she knows how desperately addicts need allies.

“I wish there was more open conversation between people like addicts and nonaddicts about their life and what’s going on,” she said.

“Just an open discussion instead of something that feels shameful. Because that’s how people die. You don’t want to talk about it because you feel ashamed, and if you don’t talk about it, how are people supposed to help?”

That’s why the alliance is important, she said. It’s a door to that discussion she said she thinks needs to happen. That’s why she volunteers.

“It’s something I’m passionate about,” she said. “Part of it is fighting the stigma.

People want to make you feel less than because you’re a drug addict, but people forget they’re human beings. We’re human.”

Indiana HIV outbreak history The Indiana State Department of Health identified records of HIV cases across the state of Indiana in 2014.

After a fire two years ago, neither the bank nor the homeowner took responsibility for demolishing this Bloomington home. At the insistence of fed-up neighbors, county officials are finally stepping in.

Two years after fire, burnt home may be torn down

*** About a year ago, Abert started the alliance with friends. It began with riding around on bikes and with trailers, handing out coats, coffee and supplies like biohazard containers, tourniquets, cookers and naloxone, which can stop an opioid overdose. Then they graduated to the beige truck donated by the Chicago Recovery Alliance.

The organization’s needle exchange program began Feb. 14, but alliance volunteers started a conversation about one before the HIV outbreak happened in southeastern Indiana early last year.

A high number of hepatitis C cases is an indicator of the likelihood of an HIV outbreak, Abert said. They saw a rising number of hepatitis C cases, so they thought a needle exchange program would help. But they didn’t think an HIV outbreak would happen.

Then it did.

“Sharing needles is the main force behind that,” Abert said.

Hepatitis C is mostly spread through sharing needles by injection drug users, according to the Center for Disease Control.

From mid-December 2014 to Feb. 25, 2015, 30 HIV cases were reported, according to a press release from the Indiana State Department of Health on Feb. 25, 2015.

By March 27, there were 81 cases. Gov. Mike Pence declared a public health emergency in Scott County.

Most cases were linked to people injecting opana, a prescription opioid painkiller. Some were a result of sexual transmission, a state health department press release stated on Feb. 27, 2015.

“Drug abuse is the clear driving force behind this outbreak,” State Health Commissioner Jerome Adams said in a March 20, 2015 press release.

The Indiana General Assembly legalized needle exchange programs not long after the first HIV outbreak on the condition that there was evidence an HIV or hepatitis C epidemic was occurring as a direct result of IV drug use.

That led to the state’s first needle exchange program in Scott County in April 2015.

Since then, similar pro-

grams have started in Madison and Clark counties. *** Ten people signed up for the program within three days of its launch, Abert said.

The alliance holds walk-in hours at its office at 500 W. Fourth St. and does outreach at Peoples Park.

Only a handful of people have come to the office, though, Abert said.

“This is a very suspicious population,” he said. “They’re very stigmatized. They’re criminalized.”

Some are scared of getting arrested if they’re seen going to the office, Abert said, because possessing a syringe with the intent to use it for an illegal drug is a felony.

Police officers are restricted from stopping or searching people just because they visited the office. They can’t sit outside and watch. If officers search and seize, they have to have gained probable cause information elsewhere.

The alliance gives every participant a card that proves they’re using the program.

Erika Oliphant, Monroe County’s deputy prosecuting attorney, said many police officers won’t arrest people with the card.

“We don’t want to deter anyone from using the program because it’s helping prevent disease,” Oliphant said.

Oliphant’s office would not prosecute someone simply for having syringes.

“I suspect the law enforcement agencies will follow my lead on that,” she said. “I can’t speak for the police agencies.

As far as my office, I wouldn’t prosecute somebody under those circumstances.”

After a fire more than two years ago, the burnt skeleton of the house on Woodmere Way still stands.

Outside, charred wind chimes jingle from the post of a scorched basketball hoop.

Only singed strings remain of the net.

Inside, under a cloudy sky, darkened beams rest on top of molding carpet and ripped chairs. Yellowed wallpaper sags towards the floor where a piggy bank, a blue ball and a baby doll stroller sit half-submerged in insulation and rubble.

For two years, this house has sat untouched in the middle of a nice, residential neighborhood on Bloomington’s south side. Neighbors, who decorate with St. Patrick’s Day door hangings and lawn ornaments, have been fighting continuously with the city to have the eyesore torn down.

Now, it seems, they may have made progress.

The Monroe County Building Commissioner recently issued an order to “Vacate, Seal, Exterminate Vermin and Demolish” the house that was formerly occupied by a family of four.

“According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, Indiana has its lowest foreclosure rate since the first quarter of 2007,” Ellsperman said in a press release. “With the additional HHF funding we will be able to help more Hoosier families remain in their homes, and continue reducing the foreclosure rate.”

This type of progress is important for Hoosiers who are tired of living near abandoned homes.

“In the summer you can’t open the windows because of the smell of all that wet carpeting and furniture in the heat,” Hartsock said. “There are skunks, and rodents and opossums. You’re not gonna invite anybody over to sit on the back deck, let’s face it.”

Hartsock has been working with city officials to have the home torn down since the fire first happened. Now, for the first time, he said he’s feeling optimistic.

Now that the order has been filed, the Monroe County Commissioners will conduct a public hearing Tuesday, March 1. If there are no significant objections by invested parties, the municipality will likely proceed with the removal.

Body cam bill passes Senate committee From IDS reports

A bill that concerns the release of police officer body camera footage passed through an Indiana Senate committee today, after being heavily amended.

House Bill 1019, authored

by Rep. Kevin Mahan, RDistrict 31, passed the Senate Judiciary Committee 7-1 Wednesday morning.

An earlier version of the bill was criticized for giving too much power to law enforcement to publicly withhold footage from bodyworn or dashboard cameras.

Supporters of the bill argued for the privacy of the person who may be shown in the footage, saying that public access would compromise this.

Judith Benckhart, a legal assistant at the Monroe County Legal Department, said the family declared bankruptcy a few months before the fire, and the home had gone into foreclosure.

So when the fire occured, the family was left homeless and the former homeowners were unsure whether the house was their responsibility or that of the bank.

“The homeowner’s association has been trying to get him to do something about it forever, but he doesn’t have any money,” next door neighbor Les Hartsock said of the former homeowner.

The residents weren’t alone in their housing troubles. Since the beginning of the Great Recession, Indiana has continuously ranked among the worst states in the country for foreclosures.

For this reason, the state has repeatedly qualified for Hardest Hit Funds from the U.S. Treasury to assist struggling homeowners. On Friday, Indiana was granted an additional $28.5 million in funding.

Though this increase in funding does mean that Indiana remains one of the 18 hardest hit states in the country, Lt. Governor Sue Ellsperman said things are

the Senate since January, was scheduled to be heard last week and then postponed.

During Wednesday’s session, Sen. Rodric Bray, RDistrict 37, added two key amendments to the bill.

One requires police officers to justify why the video should be kept private. This is opposite from the original bill, which required the public to justify why footage should be shown in court.

The exceptions to this would be if the footage has potential to create prejudice or bias in a court hearing or if the footage could jeopardize an ongoing investigation.

Rep. Mahan released a statement to further clarify this aspect of the bill.

“I am pleased to see House Bill 1019 advance out of committee and to the full Senate. Despite some

misperceptions, this bill would allow those depicted in the video or their family to view footage recorded by body cameras and other recording devices,” Mahan said in a press release.

Bray also added the amendment allowing access to footage that depicts any evidence of excessive use of force or civil rights violation.

However, the release of this footage does not qualify as an admission of wrongdoing.

“Through the efforts of numerous stakeholders, I am confident that this legislation adequately addresses transparency for the public while protecting the privacy rights of those involved in law enforcement recordings,” Mahan said in the release.

A woman in Oregon is selling ceramic pipes for smoking marijuana and donating

10 percent of her profits to the Sanders campaign.

While Sanders might be in favor of ending federal marijuana prohibition, the Sanders campaign doesn’t condone the practice of selling a pipe with the campaign logo on it.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Apple denies order from FBI WE SAY: FBI should keep its paws off our privacy Apple CEO Tim Cook started a debate about privacy versus safety when he released an open letter stating that Apple was refusing to create a “backdoor” into iOS 9 for the FBI. The Editorial Board agrees with Cook that this would set a dangerous precedent, and goes beyond the reach of the All Writs Act of 1789, which is the Writ that the order was issued.

The FBI is in possession of the iPhone belonging to San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook. The FBI has been unable to bypass Farook’s password, and has come to Apple asking them to build the technology to break into iOS 9.

Essentially, the FBI is asking for Apple to create a system that not only removes the safeguards that prevent multiple incorrect passwords from being used, but also a system that enters multiple passcode combinations, so agents don’t have to type

them in by hand .

Cook’s open letter says this technology does not yet exist, and would be “too dangerous to create.”

The FBI said Apple could create this system so it only worked on Farook’s iPhone.

Cook, who probably knows more about the limits of his own engineers and technology as a whole, said that this would be impossible.

Because the iOS is the same on every iPhone, you would not be able to create a program that handicaps its security features that wouldn’t work on every phone using that iOS. Both Apple and the FBI agree that Apple has complied with all court orders regarding the San Bernardino case. They have turned over Farook’s most recent iCloud backup, which would presumably have most of the information from the iPhone anyways.

Apple has also made their top engineers available to

advise the FBI. Short of doing the impossible, Apple has complied with the government and the court. So this debate is not about what Apple needs to do to assist in the capture and detainment of terrorists, they have already done everything.

What this debate is about is if the government should ask Apple to go even further.

The judge issued this order under the AWA. This act says that federal courts can issue orders that are “appropriate” to their jurisdictions, and “agreeable” to the law. It must also not be an “undue burden.”

It is not appropriate or agreeable to the law to ask an outside entity to perform a task they have said is impossible.

Apple’s only course of action to comply with this order would be to create a system that would be able to break into any phone using iOS 9.

Once this technology exists, Apple fears that it could be

duplicated and used to harm all Apple users, not just terrorists.

Considering the sensitive information that people keep on their phones, from their calendars to their banking information, it isn’t hard to picture the harm that could result from this technology.

We share Apple’s fear. It isn’t irrational and it isn’t immoral. It is a response to a world that makes true privacy almost unattainable.

The FBI said in a motion filed Friday that Apple is only taking a stance against this order “based on its concern for its business model and public brand marketing strategy.”

Maybe this is true. But if Apple’s marketing strategy is in line with the basic rights to privacy for Apple users everywhere, then we stand behind them.

Apple, as a business, is accountable to its customers, and we want to keep the backdoor locked.

STEVE’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

As Super Tuesday looms, primaries heat up Primary season is well underway, and it’s about to heat up.

On March 1, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia all have Republican primaries.

This single day has astronomical implications for all of the Republican candidates that remain in the field.

According to RealClearPolitics.com, Donald Trump leads the aggregate GOP nomination polls by 13.2 percent ahead of runner-up Sen. Ted Cruz. This is a significant lead going into the 11 primaries.

Dr. Ben Carson, Gov. John Kasich, Sen. Marco Rubio, Cruz and Trump will all be hoping for a strong showing at the polls, as they move forward with their respective campaigns.

It is my opinion that while Super Tuesday is of serious importance for all

candidates, it is more so for Cruz and Rubio.

Cruz has shaped his campaign strategy around a strong showing on Super Tuesday. Currently, he leads in his home state of Texas; however he ranges anywhere from second to fourth in all other states.

After a come-frombehind victory in the Iowa Caucus, it’s essential for the Cruz campaign to exceed expectations, and reaffirm the belief that he is a serious contender in the election.

Rubio, on the other hand, has some serious ground to make up in this race.

After a stronger showing than expected in Iowa, the Rubio campaign stuttered in New Hampshire as a result of his poor debate showing. Super Tuesday may be the day Rubio proves what people have thought all along: Rubio is the GOP establishment’s best counter to Trump.

A poor showing from

Cruz will also be a victory for Rubio campaign. Rubio lacks delegates, and on Super Tuesday it is essential Rubio picks up several delegates to begin challenging both Trump and Cruz.

For the Kasich campaign, Super Tuesday is a do or die day: if he fails to win any states, or fails to place higher than fourth in major states, it could spell doom for his presidential hopes.

The same goes for Carson’s campaign, as it has sputtered in recent weeks.

The Trump campaign enters Super Tuesday as the front runner for the GOP nominee, and they will hope to build on their successes in both New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Super Tuesday primaries award delegates proportionately, which bodes well for all candidates except Trump.

One thing is certain: the Super Tuesday primaries will have significant effects

on the remainder of the race.

With every candidate needing to exceed expectations, the cut-throat nature of the election will surely see one or more candidates drop out as a result of poor or average showings.

With 11 primaries on the same day, it will pose a significant tactical and logistical challenge for all of the candidates.

After Super Tuesday, the electorate will have a much better idea of who the Republican nominee will or won’t be. Regardless of outcome, the implications of Super Tuesday are certainly evident.

I couldn’t be more excited to see how Super Tuesday transpires. staranyi@indiana.edu

In an age of seemingly daily technological advances, computers and the Internet are often utilized in classrooms. Physical texts are being replaced with digital copies.

Not just your finite homework, or those scholarly articles for your business law class are online now.

Children as young as elementary-school-aged are sent home to download their homework or complete it online, according to the New York Times.

However, the Pew Research Center estimates that, across the country, more than five million families are without access to high-speed Internet.

With more and more classes going digital, the students in these families fall farther behind. Many of them have resorted to standing outside of their schools or libraries to attain enough of a Wi-Fi signal to do research or homework, said housing secretary Julián Castro in a NYT article.

Many students are punished with lower grades because they can’t adequately research and cite sources for projects or turn in papers online on time.

This creates a wider gap in academic achievement.

The schools employing technology in the classroom mean well. They want to prepare students for the digital age that will greet them in the future.

But a reform of the tech practices is necessary to keep from targeting the lower-income students who cannot afford broadband.

Less technology in the classroom may be just what we need.

According to a study lead by Anne Mangen of Norway’s Stavanger University, reading physical books, as opposed to electronic ones, has been shown to

help reading comprehension more effectively.

Assignments in books also mean a child will be spending less time in front of a screen and less time learning to rely on blurbs of information and links to instant answers. Reading books teaches students to become critical thinkers.

These low-income students are often already staged to fail: with lower income comes less access to tutoring, adequate meals and other resources available to middle- and upperclass families.

If we continue to phase out physical textbooks and give digitized homework, we will make a larger resource gap between these economic classes of students.

According to an article in the NYT, some towns have attempted to allocate some public tax money to fund Wi-Fi hotspots and Internet cost subsidies for these families.

In addition, the Federal Communications Commission is expected to vote next year on a program called Lifeline, which would subsidize broadband for lowincome families.

Both of these solutions have not been met with bipartisan support, though.

And beyond that, neither of them touches on a proven method: using actual textbooks and workbooks.

Everyone has access to books. Everyone can take home a physical homework assignment. No one is alienated when everyone has the same access to these resources. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff

SHOWALTER’S SHOW AND TELL

We should let immigrants be president On the day of the South Carolina Republican primary, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump retweeted a link from a group called Powdered Wig Society that stated both Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio are ineligible to become president of the United States.

Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother, so he was granted citizenship upon his birth.

For some scholars, it’s enough to satisfy the natural-born-citizen clause required for presidency. For others, it’s not.

Rubio, though, was born in Miami, Florida. Only Trump and rightist radicals with .com URLs and silly names like Powdered Wig Society doubt Rubio’s classification as a “natural-born citizen.”

At the time of his birth, his parents had not become naturalized citizens. However any literate individual knows those born on U.S. soil are granted citizenship upon their birth.

These xenophobes are attempting to use the citizenship status of Rubio’s parents to disqualify him from the presidency.

I’m getting tired of hearing the phrase “natural-born citizen” in regards to the presidency.

We’re entering our third consecutive election cycle in which this has been an issue. In 2008 President Barack Obama was supposedly ineligible because he was born in Kenya and not to American citizens.

Sen. John McCain was born outside the U.S. and had his eligibility questioned by

THERIN SHOWALTER is a sophomore in media studies

Constitutional literalists.

In 2012, Trump reminded us of the “problems” with President Obama’s citizenship. Now, Cruz, Rubio and Gov. Bobby Jindal have had their eligibility questioned.

It’s time to repeal this portion of the Constitution.

In 2013, the Center for Immigration Studies reported that the immigrant population of the U.S reached an all-time high at 41.3 million, or 13 percent of the total population.

I find it absurd that we should prohibit many people from running for president simply because they were born elsewhere. Currently, there are 17 members of Congress, 3 members of the President’s Cabinet and 1 sitting governor who were all born on foreign soil.

These people may be perfectly qualified for the presidency but are ineligible because the founders of our fledgling nation feared a foreigner would rise to power and become president. The Washington Post notes the founders believed foreigners were “disloyal.”

That’s a sentiment we’re just going to need to get over.

We are a nation of foreigners and a nation of immigrants.

The only thing that makes someone an American is being on its soil. This discriminatory clause needs to go.

Perhaps then the Republicans can get back to the issues. But they probably won’t. thshowal@indiana.edu @TherinShowalter

IU sweeps Nebraska, 79-68

By Teddy Bailey eebailey@indiana.edu @TheTeddyBailey

In the majority of games this season, IU has won due to the speed of sophomore point guard Tyra Buss and the consistency of sophomore forward Amanda Cahill.

On Wednesday against Nebraska in a crucial game, it was the 3-point shot that sparked IU to a 79-68 road win in Lincoln. The Hoosiers (19-10, 11-6) completed a season sweep of the Huskers (17-11, 8-9) and remained in contention for one of four double-byes into the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament.

The Hoosiers knocked down a season-high 11 treys to topple their previous mark of ten 3-pointers against Rutgers earlier this year. Junior

guard Karlee McBride converted four of those 11 for 12 points, but it was junior guard Alexis Gassion that lifted IU to victory.

Gassion exploded to tie her career-high of 22 points to go along with five rebounds and six assists. The 5-foot11 wing player had scored 20 points once this season against IU-Purdue University Fort Wayne in late November. Against Nebraska, Gassion shot 7-of-14 from the field and converted a pair of 3-pointers. Four different Hoosiers finished in doublefigures, as Buss also added 22 points while Cahill added 16 points.

“This was a gritty win for us,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “Really pleased for that group in the locker room. We got scoring from a lot of different people in different ways.

Overall, it was just a really good win for the Hoosiers.”

The Hoosiers trailed, 3938 at the half after the Huskers benefited from 14 firsthalf points from sophomore guard Natalie Romeo. IU broke away from Nebraska in the third quarter, using a 22-12 frame to lead by nine points going into the fourth quarter.

“We were going to start out in a zone,” Moren said.

“Halfway through, we went to just man-to-man. We didn’t do anything differently other than tell Lex that she was going to have to be really sound in the next 20 points.”

For the second time this season, junior center Jenn Anderson limited star Nebraska freshman forward Jessica Shephard. The 6-foot-4 Husker, who averages nearly 20 points and 8.7 rebounds

per game, was held to just 16 points and 11 rebounds Wednesday.

“I thought Jenn Anderson was again very good defensively on a night where she didn’t score a lot,” Moren said. “Jessica Shephard is a very challenging post-player to guard and I thought Jenn did a good job of being in her space.

The Hoosiers had a chance to take sole possession of fourth place in the Big Ten before Minnesota (19-9, 11-6) pulled off an overtime upset of No. 5 Ohio State (13-5, 152). The Gophers and Hoosiers remain tied for fourth with one game remaining. Minnesota travels to No. 6 Maryland this weekend, while IU will try to finish an undefeated home season against eleventhplace Penn State (11-17, 6-11) Saturday.

The loss of sophomore guard and second-leading scorer James Blackmon Jr. at the beginning of the Big Ten season didn’t keep IU from climbing to the top of the conference standings.

But now the question is whether the Hoosiers can sustain another blow to their backcourt — and they might have to find out tonight.

Sophomore guard Robert Johnson left Saturday’s game against Purdue with what IU Coach Tom Crean later called “a definite ankle sprain.” Johnson had to be carried off the court, and he didn’t return during the game, which was a win over the Boilermakers.

As of Wednesday afternoon, whether or not Johnson would play tonight at Illinois was a “game-time decision,” according to an IU spokesperson.

On his radio show, Crean didn’t give a definite timetable for Johnson’s return.

“We’re just going to have to continue to monitor it,” Crean said. “It’s not like we’re going to be able to update it constantly. It’s going to be evaluated over time.

There’s no way to predict injuries, let alone an ankle sprain.”

Although he isn’t one of IU’s leading scorers, Johnson has been a constant on the defensive end and has often been praised by Crean for doing little things to help the team, whether it’s finding his open teammates or getting guard rebounds.

Losing Johnson, who averages 8.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, means

losing a starter and another member of IU’s backcourt.

It leaves senior guards Robert Johnson Yogi Ferrell and Nick Zeisloft and freshman guard Harrison Niego as the only available guards who have earned significant playing time this season.

Outside of using Zeisloft as Johnson’s replacement in the lineup, Crean will likely look to either freshman forward OG Anunoby or senior forward Max Bielfeldt, both of whom have played efficient minutes off the bench.

Johnson’s absence may limit the Hoosiers from spreading the defense, and it leaves one less shooter for the Illini to worry about.

However, this isn’t the worst-case scenario for IU, who beat Illinois 103-69 when the two teams met Jan. 19 in Assembly Hall. If Johnson doesn’t play, it’s an opportunity for him to rest before potentially playing in two more important games.

Next week, No. 18 IU finishes the regular season against No. 8 Iowa and No. 10 Maryland.

The way those games play out will determine who wins the Big Ten and how seeding will fall for the upcoming conference tournament.

After the Purdue game Saturday, Ferrell was asked about Johnson’s injury.

His answer echoed what seemed to work after the Hoosiers lost Blackmon — they completed a 12-game winning streak and started 7-0 in Big Ten play. “(It’s) just the next man stepping up,” Ferrell said.

HEAR ME OUT

COLUMN: It’s time to give junior forward Troy Williams a little credit Troy Williams keeps fidgeting with his water bottle.

He’s folding and unfolding his hands. He’s looking over at the stat sheet.

His eyes are wandering around the room. They look disheartened. It’s like he’s waiting for someone to ask him about his big day.

The junior forward is coming off one of his best games of the year. He’s actually just had two phenomenal games in a row. He had just passed the 1,000 point mark in his career.

Yet no one is asking Troy Williams about that. He is hardly being asked anything.

The questions are about all of the frontcourt players stepping up or IU being in

first place in the Big Ten, not the leading scorer. Williams is asked one question, and of course it revolves around improving from his awful zeropoint performance at Michigan State a week earlier.

It looks like Williams just wants some acknowledgment of his big day, or rather, his big week. He deserves it.

The media can be hard on Williams. I’ve been as hard on him as anyone. He can play out of control. Sometimes he tries to overcompensate for a mistake, causing another one.

The Michigan State game was the greatest example of that. That performance was the pinnacle of IU’s faithful turning on him.

How did he respond? By playing as aggressively as ever, and it’s been a show as of late.

In the last two games against Nebraska and Purdue, Williams combined to shoot 15-of-20 from the field for 37 points. He was everywhere on the floor, yet simultaneously more disciplined.

He could be seen diving, like full-extension diving, for the ball on three separate occasions Saturday. IU Coach Tom Crean said Williams had 13 deflections in the first half and finished with 18.

The last thing IU wanted to do, Crean said, was focus on what wasn’t working.Those who have worked with Crean in the past always cite this phi-

losophy.

“The worst thing that could happen when somebody is struggling is you keep reminding them of it, right?” he said.

Yet we like to remind Williams of it. We remind him of it often, rarely giving him credit for when he steps up.

Here I am giving Williams credit. Back on Feb. 11, when IU beat Iowa 85-78, Crean joked Williams was like the biblical figure Lazarus because he resurrected himself a couple of times that game.

Maybe that is something people need to just accept about Williams. He is kind of like Lazarus. I would bet Williams will have another bad

FOOTBALL

New IU coach begins training changes

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @trlehman_IDS

The Hoosiers huddled together in a hallway on the lower floor of Memorial Stadium on Wednesday. The team’s warm-up in the Mellencamp Pavilion had just ended, and before the players took to the weight room, they had one more thing to take care of.

Several began to shove each other and the mass of yelling players began jumping up and down. When the group had reached a satisfying decibel, rising senior wide receiver Mitchell Paige led the group into the weight room.

Paige jumped over a bench and sprinted to his stationed rack with the rest of the team charging in behind him.

This is a new routine. One the team started under new strength and conditioning coach Keith Caton.

“That’s probably the most exciting part,” junior offensive tackle Dimitric Camiel said.

“Everybody’s coming off the field, we’re bumping around and jumping. Then we come in the weight room and it’s

time to go to work, so you don’t want to just walk in, you want to come in and attack it.”

The entrance to the weight room is part of a new explosiveness Caton said he is trying to instill in the program and its players. But it’s more than just getting the players pumped for the season.

Caton walks between the rows of players as they stretch, encouraging each player as he passes them. He runs the warm-up sprints with the players, and each time he notices a player struggling with his lifting mechanics, Caton is there for a quick fix.

“We’re just trying to work habits, make sure they’re doing all those little things right,” Caton said. “Everything we do is trying to be fast, explosive, aggressive — all those things that are going to make great football players.”

The new coach takes over for former IU strength and conditioning Coach Mark Hill, inheriting a program that recorded the best total offense in the Big Ten with 504.3 yards per game last season. The Hoosiers also finished with the conference’s worst total

game in the next week or two that will make IU fans want to pull their hair out.

But he will Troy probably res- Williams urrect himself again. He will bounce back with another scene-stealing performance. Maybe Crean is right. You shouldn’t try to rein in Williams or control him.

You have to refine the things he does well and get the most out of them.

That means let him be aggressive, just make sure it’s on both ends.

to his career. He had just hit a 3-pointer, and on the next possession, he stole the ball from Purdue’s Rapheal Davis.

Williams took off down the court and broke away, since few can catch up to him on a breakaway. He leaped, threw his arm back and dunked. He became the 49th Hoosier in the 1,000 point club.

“Troy playing like that — he’s basically unstoppable,” senior guard Yogi Ferrell said. brodmill@indiana.edu

defense, allowing 509.5 yards per game.

It’s the explosiveness, Caton said, that is going to continue the offensive production while also fixing the team’s defensive problems.

The most noticeable change sophomore linebacker Tegray Scales said he wants to see is the team finishing more games next season, as the Hoosiers took four top25 teams into a competitive fourth quarter and lost.

Those games don’t include the blown 25-point lead to Rutgers on Homecoming and the bowl loss to Duke.

“We need to work on fin-

ishing,” Scales said. “That’s a big key with Coach Caton, working on the small things so we can finish big games.”

He added Caton is what IU Coach Kevin Wilson said he is.

“He knows what he’s doing,” he said. “He takes care of us.”

As the Hoosiers enter the offseason, they make their goal for 2016 an obvious one.

In a huddle around Caton with their fists in the air after their workout, the players chant, “No excuses.”

Then, to break the huddle, they drop their fists and cry one last thing.

“Big Ten champs.”

Jessica and Matthew moved into their new house in Greenfield on May 24, 2015, for Jessica’s new job, where she cared for mentally disabled people.

At that time, Indiana’s Department of Child Services had limited Matthew’s interaction with Jessica and her three children — Zoey, another girl, age 9 and a boy, age 12, both from a previous relationship. But text messages obtained by detectives between Matthew and Jessica show

charges in the second half.

But through it all, Lacher said, Bielfeldt has remained unchanged. As a star in high school, a role player at Michigan and as what Dan Dakich described as a “sex symbol” at IU, he’s still the same person.

“The thing about Max is he was just the same kind of player he is now in terms of the team-first mentality,” Lacher said. “He was a dominant player in high school and one of the most dominant players our area has ever seen, but he was always team first.”

Physically though, he’s changed.

He went from what

Lacher called a pudgy sophomore in high school who couldn’t shoot further than eight feet from the basket to a player banging inside and who could step outside and make 3-pointers his senior year.

But above all, what has never changed, is what Lacher thinks of whenever he hears Bielfeldt’s name.

“Whenever his name comes to mind I always think about the nickname that he had,” Lacher said. “He was the big puppy, just because he was a big, goofy, fun-loving kid who just happened to be a very good basketball player.”

Matthew had continued to help watch the three children, without alerting their DCS caseworker, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Text messages between the couple also show they were aware of Zoey’s deteriorating health. Jessica said she was worried that if she took Zoey to the hospital, the staff there would call Child Protective Services.

“Every time I turned around, there was CPS knocking on my door,” Jessica said in an interview with Greenfield Sgt. Nichole Gilbert during the investigation.

State prosecutors sought the maximum sentence for Matthew, considering his criminal past, which includes

a charge of child exploitation in Henry County.

In February 2014, Matthew was living in Knightstown, Indiana, with Jessica and her two children. After a neighbor’s child came forward that Matthew was abusing Jessica’s children, police found pictures of Jessica’s oldest daughter’s vagina on Matthew’s phone along with pictures of his own penis. These charges from Henry County remain pending.

Like with his Rubix cube, it’s all about formulaic memorization, Major said. If he studies each side of the cube for several seconds, he can solve it with or without looking with the same amount of ease, because his self-taught movements are so well practiced.

In his new show, instead of showing off tricks that he can do, he turns the spotlight on the audience. Their thoughts, decisions and actions drive the show.

“The audience members take the stage and end up reading each others’ minds and making predictions themselves,” Major said. in a stroller. She said she then got up to say hello to them.

“I’ll never forget the look on that child’s face,” she said.

As she touched Zoey’s hand, she said, Zoey didn’t smile. Even when Susie ran up to her there was no reaction from Zoey.

The next morning, while vacuuming her living room, she saw the police lights flashing in the window.

“I don’t sit out on my porch that often,” McPherson said, sitting in her living room. “Just something about that evening made me want to go out there. It never dawned on me that she lived in those conditions.”

Association for Student Conduct Administration conference last December.

IU is currently overseeing the review of the last 18 sexual assault cases Casares participated in.

The DOE cannot disclose case-specific details on what prompted their standing investigations against the University in 2014 and 2015, both prior to the accusations against Casares. However, IU responded to their federal guidance in 2014 by making changes to several procedures, such as

removing students from appeals hearings for sexual assault cases.

Springston said the Title IX office uses data from surveys, investigations and their own annual reports to guide the current objectives and improvements of the University regarding sexual assault policy.

“We do take results from reports on our work very seriously,” Springston said.

“We are very much focused on supporting students and helping them succeed at IU.”

“I’m bringing you into my world.”

One of Major’s pieces in the show includes Russian Roulette with loaded staple guns. Audience members come onstage, make decisions and fire staple guns into Major. He said by using his ability to subliminally influence them, he can suggest correct and safe decisions.

Major said mentalism is a unique form of magic because it is an ongoing experiment. He is constantly learning more about human behavior, and every show will be different depending on the people he works with.

“The truth is, I don’t know if a lot of this stuff is going to work until I get onstage,” Major said. “There’s no way of knowing whether I’m going to be able to communicate things to people just by practicing, I have to actually go

out and share it with someone. Things don’t always go right. That’s how I become better at reading people.”

He said the best part about being a mentalist is he gets to live a life of his own design. He went from working children’s birthday parties to performing for sold out shows of thousands of people across the country, and it has never felt like work for him, he said, because he loves it.

“I hope that people wonder when they leave the show, ‘What am I capable of? If he can do these crazy things, what are the limits of my mind and body?’” Major said. “As a performer, I have the opportunity to impact a lot of people. If I can touch just one person in the audience and encourage them to pursue their dream or take a leap, that’s the biggest payoff that I can have.”

Zoey’s aunt, read Matthew a letter she wrote to him.

“I am sincerely happy no other children will need to go through this,” Merriman read aloud. “She’ll never have a sweet 16 and never enjoy what you robbed her of.”

After the hearing ended, Zoey’s grandmother, Roxanne Lane, stood on the sidewalk outside of the Hancock County Courthouse among Zoey’s aunts, uncles and extended family. They were getting ready to let go of a balloon in honor of Zoey.

“You gotta keep her memory alive somehow,” she said before the family placed their hands together and let go. The phrase “It’s Your Day” was printed on the side.

Katlyn Lane, Zoey’s aunt,

had a new tattoo on her ankle of Zoey’s favorite animal, a giraffe. She remembers watching Zoey for Jessica and giving her a different blanket every time she would start crying.

She knew a blanket would always make her happy.

Most of Zoey’s family still lives in Knightstown and prefers to refer to Zoey without her legal last name. Now, they call her Zoey Lee and refuse to use the name “Wagoner.” When they buried her, they took measures to remove “Wagoner” from her gravestone.

“She got her justice today,” Lane said. “She saved my niece and other nephew.

Somehow, in her one year of life she saved her brother and sister.”

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

This year’s Best Picture nominees, from left to right: “Bridge of Spies,”“Mad Max: Fury Road,”“The Revenant,”“Room,”“Spotlight,”“The Big Short,”“Brooklyn” and “The Martian.”

W | HALLIWELL ON HOLLYWOOD

Historically, film has brought the human experience to life in brilliant color. But this year’s Best Picture nominees are as colorless as it gets. Hollywood’s biggest night is once again plagued by the industry’s furthest-reaching epidemic:

whitewashing.

L

ast year, the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite was created in response to a lack of black nominees in the 2015 Oscar race.

Back then, despite scattered protests, it was widely regarded as a punchline. Host Neil Patrick Harris quipped, “Tonight we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest — sorry, brightest.”

This year, no one is laughing.

The nominations were announced in January without a person of color in any of the major categories. Major snubs included “Creed” and “Straight Out of Compton” for Best Picture, Ryan Coogler for Best Director and Michael B. Jordan and Idris Elba in the acting categories.

While outrage over the nominations quickly spread, many critics and pundits weren’t surprised.

The Oscars, not to mention Hollywood itself, has a long history of excluding minorities, whether they are women, people of color or members of the LGBT community.

Since the first Academy Awards in 1929, only 35 Oscar winners have been black. There has never been a black Best Director winner, and in 2014 Steve McQueen was the first black filmmaker to win the Oscar for Best Picture, according to Variety magazine.

How has it taken this long? How are things still this bad? In order to answer those questions, an in-depth look at the Academy is in order.

While Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs is a black woman, the rest of The Academy leaves much to be desired in terms of diversity.

According to a study published in 2012 by the LA Times, 93 percent of The Academy is white and 77 percent of members are male, with an average age of 63.

Looking at these statistics, it’s no wonder that less than five percent of all Oscar nominations since 1929 have gone to people of color.

Can we really expect all these old, white, likely-straight men to vote for “Straight Out of Compton” over something like “Bridge of Spies”?

After the extreme backlash sparked by this year’s list of nominations, Boone Isaacs is making some changes, including revoking lifetime voting status.

She has pledged to add new members specifically targeted towards increasing diversity, according to a statement on the Academy’s website.

These changes, while much needed, have created quite the controversy of their own. Various white actors, including Best Actress nominee Charlotte Rampling, have spoken out against the changes.

In an interview with a French radio network, Rampling didn’t mince words, saying, “It is racist to whites.”

She continued, “One can never really know, but perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list ... someone will always be saying ‘You are too’ (this or that) ...

But do we have to take from this that there should be lots of minorities everywhere?”

Despite similar complaints from other old, white celebrities, the changes have been widely regarded as a positive first step in solving the Oscars’ diversity problem. But while it’s easy to blame one group for this issue, the fault is also with the industry itself.

In order to get more nominees of color, Hollywood needs to provide more roles for people of color.

This year’s Best Actress race has been widely regarded as one of the strongest in recent years, but only for white actresses.

Sure, Teyonah Parris was great in Spike Lee’s “Chi-Raq,” but even given a more diverse pool of Academy voters, she still wouldn’t have been nominated.

Although it falls on the industry, don’t get me wrong — the Academy needs to do better.

Despite having ten slots to fill for Best Picture, they only nominated

Our Oscar predictions, page 8 Check out our predictions for all the main categories, including who will win and who should win. eight. While “Carol” would almost certainly have taken the ninth slot, the last could have very well included “Straight Out of Compton” or “Creed.” So why not fill them at all?

The Oscars telecast has also proven problematic. While the producers have made sure to include a diverse variety of presenters, they’ve nixed two very important minorities from the program.

Despite the tradition of having all Best Original Song nominees perform their song during the show, the two least-known nominees were cut from the telecast: an Asian woman and a transgender woman.

I’m all for fixing the many diversity problems within the Oscars, but I’m still under the impression that very little will change unless the industry fixes itself first.

And while I expect this year that host Chris Rock will crack quite a few jokes at the controversy’s expense, I hope he’ll also use the opportunity to speak to the larger issue at hand.

Weekend’s 2016 Oscar predictions We bring you our picks for Sunday’s 88th annual Academy Awards.

Best Actor

By Kate Halliwell | @Kate__Halliwell

Best Picture If there’s any award Sunday night that will have everyone on the edge of their seats, it’s Best Picture. While “The Revenant” has emerged as the recent frontrunner, it’s still a three movie race between “The Revenant,”“Spotlight” and “The Big Short.”

A win for Iñárritu’s bleak, gritty drama would make him the first director ever to win Best Picture two years in a row, which would be quite the feat. While the odds seem to be in his favor, it’s hard to rule out “Spotlight,” Tom McCarthy’s hard-hitting look at the Catholic church’s molestation scandal, uncovered by a team of Boston Globe reporters.

“Spotlight” was the frontrunner for the majority of the Oscar race but recently has lost major awards to the other two aforementioned films. “The Big Short” is probably Iñárritu’s strongest competitor, but it just doesn’t feel right to me.

My head is with “The Revenant,” but my heart is with “Spotlight.”

Will win: “The Revenant” Should win: “Spotlight”

Best Director It’s been an odd year in the Best Director category, with early frontrunners like Ridley Scott and Todd Haynes missing out on nominations altogether. While I was thrilled Lenny Abrahamson of “Room” scored a nomination, his inclusion narrowed the race down to two: Alejandro Iñárritu and George Miller.

Both “The Revenant” and “Mad Max: Fury Road” will probably clean up the technical awards, and since the latter isn’t in the conversation for Best Picture, it’s reasonable to think that they may see fit to award Miller in this category. I, however, don’t see that happening.

No one has won Best Director twice in a row in the last 65 years, but I have a feeling that “The Revenant” mania will reign supreme and Iñárritu will take this category as well. Too bad, since Miller has deserved a win since his first round of “Mad Max” movies, and this one was better than the rest of them combined.

Will win: Alejandro Iñárritu, “The Revenant” Should win: George Miller, “Mad Max: Fury Road”

Best Supporting Actor Just how much did the Academy like “The Revenant”?

The answer to that question will affect a large portion of the categories on Oscar night, Best Supporting Actor included.

While Sylvester Stallone of “Creed” seems like the frontrunner, an influx of “The Revenant” love may score Tom Hardy his first win.

This category has been murky from the get-go, and other contenders including Mark Ruffalo, Christian Bale and Mark Rylance (the critical favorite) shouldn’t be overlooked.

Had the Academy seen fit to nominate Idris Elba for “Beast of No Nation,” he would have been the clear winner. In his absence, I’m going with Stallone.

Will win: Sylvester Stallone, “Creed” Should have been nominated and then won: Idris Elba, “Beasts of No Nation”

Should the other four guys even bother to come? This category has been locked up for months, and it’s basically blasphemy to imply anyone other than Leonardo DiCaprio deserves to win, but here I go.

Bear with me on this — see what I did there? While Leo is obviously deserving of an Oscar, I think he’s being rewarded in the wrong year and for the wrong reasons.

Was he great as Hugh Glass, crawling his way back from the dead? Of course. I just think it’s far from his best performance and certainly not the best acting performance of the year.

The narrative about how hard “The Revenant” was to shoot has overtaken the narrative about DiCaprio’s actual performance, and there’s a reason it’s not called “Most Miserable Actor.”

I could write a book about why Michael Fassbender deserves to upset for his performance as Steve Jobs, but I honestly don’t think his career would survive the influx of hate that would come his way.

Fassbender will win another year. This one is Leo’s, and it really is about damn time.

Will win: Leonardo DiCaprio, “The Revenant” Should win: Michael Fassbender, “Steve Jobs”

Best Actress This category is far and away the strongest of the year, with Oscar veterans like Cate Blanchett, Charlotte Rampling and Jennifer Lawrence facing off against the fresh faces of Brie Larson and Saoirse Ronan.

Ronan and Larson have led the race since the beginning, but Larson has won almost every major award thus far and will almost definitely take home the big one. While I absolutely adored Ronan in “Brooklyn,” Larson is completely deserving of this win.

Her performance as Ma in “Room” was raw, honest and totally devastating.

Will win: Brie Larson, “Room” Should win: Brie Larson, “Room”

Best Supporting Actress This year, three supporting performances are competing against two lead performances: Kate Winslet, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Rachel McAdams versus Alicia Vikander and Rooney Mara.

Vikander and Mara led the pack early on, but awards this season have been split between Vikander and Winslet. While the Swedish darling is still the agreed-upon frontrunner, Winslet’s Golden Globes and BAFTA wins give her a way to stage an upset.

While it seems unfair to say that Vikander’s lead performance trumps the other supporting performances, her poignant portrayal of artist and wife Gerda Wegner saved what was otherwise a mess of a movie. I didn’t love “The Danish Girl,” but I love Vikander in it.

Despite that, I have a feeling that this category will surprise people Sunday, and Winslet will take it. Can the Academy resist awarding Leo and Kate on the same night? I’m betting not.

Will win: Kate Winslet, “Steve Jobs” Should win: Alicia Vikander, “The Danish Girl”

Mathers opens Indian American exhibition

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

The Mathers Museum of World Cultures has planned three distinct exhibitions this semester ranging in topics from those as broad as historical, national and international, to contemporary and local.

The first of these exhibitions is “Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation.” Carole Pouzar, marketing graduate assistant at Mathers, said the display is a traveling exhibition on loan from the Smithsonian Institution.

The exhibit explores the Indian-American experience and their political, professional and cultural contributions to American life and history, Pouzar said in an email.

It will be on display until April 10.

“IU is the first of only three museums in the Midwest to host this special exhibit,” Pouzar said in an email.

Judith Kirk, assistant director of the museum, said alumnus Robert Johnson, who is on the board of the Asian Pacific American Center committee at the Smithsonian, suggested the idea to Provost Lauren Robel after a visit to Mathers.

The decision to bring the exhibition to Bloomington united administration, alumni and various academic departments with the museum, Kirk said.

“When it was discovered that ‘Bollywood’ was going to travel, we started working to bring it here,” Kirk said. “We were so fortunate in that we have an incredible India studies program, Dhar India Studies. They were very enthusiastic about being our partners.”

In conjunction with this exhibit, Mathers planned visits by prominent speakers and a few other events, such as films playing at the IU Cinema.

The next speaker in the

series, Vijay Prashad, author of a work called “The Karma of Brown Folk,” will speak on March 10. Prashad will be speaking about the complicated status of Indian-Americans as the “model minority” and the issues with that term, Kirk said.

Another speaker, Vivek Bald, will visit March 24 to discuss the “lost history” of Bengali Harlem, and the movement of Asian immigrants into existing neighborhoods during the era of Asian exclusion — the 50 years leading up to the 1940’s.

“There were individu-

als, mostly men, who were involved in merchant marines, were seamen and other merchants, who ended up settling here,” Kirk said.

“These were groups of men who, despite the exclusionera laws, primarily settled in places like Harlem and New Orleans, communities that were typically AfricanAmerican or Puerto Rican.”

These neighborhoods provided a community of support, opportunity and home, and Bald will speak to this relationship and his research on this period during his lecture, Kirk said.

The next of the exhibi-

tions, “Material Culture: Inspired by Mathers Museum Artifacts,” is a collection of quilts shown in conjunction with the annual Indiana Heritage Quilt Show.

As a part of a challenge, the members of the Charm Club created quilts based on artifacts they saw at the Mathers Museum in the summer of 2014, and this exhibit displays the quilts side by side with the artifacts that inspired them.

Kirk said she thinks the differences between the artifacts and the quilts they inspired makes this display interesting.

“It’s interesting to see how these individuals have taken the concept or design of the artifact and transformed it into their own aesthetic,” Kirk said. “One of my favorite connections is between the pre-Columbian artifacts and the pieces that the artist did. It’s not as if the quilt looks exactly like the weaving, but you can really see what she was pulling from.”

The final exhibition is entitled “Stirring the Pot: Bringing the Wanamakers Home,” and is a photographic project by Joe Stahlman and Fileve Palmer Stahlman.

While researching in Mathers’ archives, Joe and Fileve found photographs taken of members of the Tuscarora Nation, a tribe of the Iroquois language family, in the early 1900’s. Among their finds was a photo of Joe’s great-great grandfather, Kirk said.

The discovery led to a project that involved seeking out descendants of the original portrait subjects and photographing them holding the original pictures.

“For some, these were images they hadn’t seen before,” Kirk said. “We will also have members of the Tusca-

Chicago-based Mugion will play Thursday at the Bluebird Nightclub. It will be their first show in Indiana.

Band shares eclectic style

By TJ Jaeger tjaeger@indiana.edu | @TJ_Jaeger

While he was in Hawaii for college, Justin Reckamp said he kept in touch with his best friend from high school, Sean Carolan, by sharing musical ideas that they wrote during their time apart.

In March 2015, Reckamp and Carolan reconvened to form a band called Mungion.

With Reckamp on guitar and Carolan on bass, they found Joe Re to play keys and David Collum to play drums a few months later.

After acquiring a large fan base over their short career, Chicago-based Mungion is playing a show in Indiana for the first time on Thursday at the Bluebird Nightclub.

Because each member of the band comes from eclectic musical backgrounds, Reckamp said they’ve started to describe themselves as progressive jam-rock and dance.

“At the end of the day, we want to play music that makes us feel good and that makes other people feel good,” he said. “That’s really important to us.”

Despite band members’ varied interests, Reckamp said some of their strongest influ-

ences include Phish, Primus and Frank Zappa.

Reckamp said they try to improvise as much as possible when they perform live.

Because each crowd is different, he said they challenge themselves to cater their music to whoever is watching them.

“If there’s a good crowd and they’re really receptive, we’ll just go for it,” he said.

“Nothing is preconceived, and we’re just flying by the seats of our pants and throwing caution to the wind.”

Although the improvisation is not always successful, Reckamp said when it does work, there’s nothing quite like it.

It takes a certain level of chemistry for a band to improvise, he said. Even though Mungion is coming up on its one-year anniversary, Reckamp said everyone has quickly grown together as musicians and friends.

“We just like to have a good time,” he said. “We take the music seriously, but we definitely don’t take ourselves seriously.”

Reckamp said he was 14 years old and was learning to play guitar when he met Carolan. The two went

to Prairie Ridge High School and played in several bands together.

After graduating, he said the two were separated as he went to Hawaii for college and Carolan went to Elmhurst College in Illinois.

Reckamp said his time in Hawaii didn’t last long.

“I found that Hawaii is a great vacation spot, but it’s not a great place to go to school for me,” he said. “I didn’t get much done, if you could imagine.”

Almost a year after the band formed, Reckamp said they are finishing up recording their debut album, “Scary Blankets,” which is scheduled for release in late April.

Although the band has never been to Bloomington before, Reckamp said he has heard good things about the town’s music scene and is excited to play the Bluebird.

“We hope that when people come out to our shows, they’re able to shake their booty,” he said. “Because if they’re not, then we’re doing something wrong. We will leave Bloomington, Indiana, extremely happy if there’s just a few people there dancing their asses off and having a good time.”

Joshua Evans said he occasionally wishes he only communicated through landlines and written letters.

Evans is the vocalist for Muuy Biien, a punk band from Atlanta, Georgia.

Muuy Biien is headlining a show at the Bishop Bar on Thursday.

The band is on tour to promote the release of its upcoming album, which is scheduled to come out in the summer.

“It was just what we felt like, you know, going back to real music,” he said.

Evans said Muuy Biien is an attempt to return to authentic music making in a world sorely lacking it.

He writes his lyrics based on conversations and relationships that aren’t controlled by technology.

“You’ve got all this technology, and it tells you how to feel,” he said. “You don’t even know if you really f eel it.”

He often feels nostalgic for the days when communication required a lot of effort, he said.

Evans said he likes to recall the time before online conversations took the place of verbal ones.

He said listening to someone talk can affect him in the same way music does.

“We want to talk about people connecting,” he said.

This nostalgia plays a big role in his inspiration, he said.

MUUY BIIEN Tickets $6 9:30 p.m. today, the Bishop He wants to write songs similar to the music of punk movements from the 1970s to 1990s, Evans said.

Evans said his curious mind and thirst for honest music are what bring him back to older eras.

Even early 2000s music can feel more honest than much of what he hears today, he said.

“You kind of find that you listen to those bands, and they take you back even further,” he said.

He said Muuy Biien’s new album will continue to showcase this throwback SEE MUUY BIIEN, PAGE 10

style.

However, the band added more piano and vocals to create a slight shift in their sound.

“We’re not just going to abandon the sound completely,” he said. “We don’t want to be doing one thing forever. No one does.”

It’s been two years since the band released its last album, “DYI.” Instead of their usual doit-yourself recording style, Evans said they’ve been tracking in a studio for the first time.

This transition was a big reason for the two-year gap, he said.

“We’re excited for it,” he said. “It’s another opportunity for us to express ourselves.”

As for the rest of the tour, he said the band is excited

Muuy Biien will perform 9:30 p.m. Thursday at the Bishop Bar.

“You’ve got all this technology, and it tells you how to feel. You don’t even know if you really feel it.”

Joshua Evans, Muuy Biien vocalist

about performing a mix of content.

Muuy Biien’s set lists represent where they’ve been and where they want to be, he said.

They perform both old and new tracks at each show.

Evans said the band is looking forward to performing in new cities as well.

Their previous tours focused on the East Coast.

They’re looking forward to introducing Midwestern audiences to Muuy Biien’s style, he said.

“If they miss when music was music, that’s why they need to come — to be reminded,” he said.

READ LIKE A WRITER

A literary dilemma for studying abroad reading prior to going on the trip.

I have read one of the books on the list, Peter Mayle’s “A Year In Provence,” and, in my excitement, planned on checking out the rest as soon as I can.

This list prompted a thought — how can literature about a city or country or anywhere contribute to the travel experience?

I thoroughly enjoyed “A Year in Provence,” and it only made me more excited to spend nearly a year of my life

This week, I had the good fortune of finding out some of the most exciting news thus far in my life — I’m studying in France during next school year.

I’ve anticipated this study abroad trip since I started at IU, and finally receiving confirmation for it was a huge weight lifted off my chest.

I eagerly opened all handbooks and supplements sent along with the acceptance letter and stumbled upon a list of books the program had put together as recommended

On the one hand, reading these books could give a greater insight into the culture of the south of France, history of the region and a sense of who the people are.

KESHA

esha supporters rs woke up Friday morning not feeling eeling like P. Diddy, but like prisoners ers when they saw the long-awaited ed verdict in the case of Kesha v. Dr. Luke: e: not guilty.

What?

More than 10 years ago, go, shortly after her 18th birthday, the famed d pop star was allegedly drugged and raped by future uture record producer Dr. Luke. He never faced anyy charges for this attack.

On the contrary, she was practically forced to work with him through contract.

You know, because capitalism. apitalism.

Dr. Luke is one of the most renowned record producers of the past 15 years. He kick-started his career with Kelly Clarkson’s on’s “Since U Been Gone,” and has gone on to produce for icons like Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus.

How can you argue with that kind of repertoire?

He’s one of the main sources urces for all of Sony’s profits.

He’s also someone who ho Kesha said has abused her sexually, verbally, emotionally onally and physically ever since the rape.

It’s actually quite alarming rming how similar he is to the late and infamous record producer and songwriter Kim Fowley.

Fowley was a legendary ary record producer from the early ‘60s to thee late ‘80s. While partially known for co-writing writing songs for Kiss, Alice Cooper and The Byrds, yrds, Fowley’s legacy truly resides in his management agement of the allgirl rock band the Runaways ways in the mid ‘70s.

While it would be irrational ational to deny Fowley’s artistic brilliance, ce, there was a dark side to him, too. Former rmer Runaways bass player, Jackie Fox, claimed laimed she was drugged and raped by the record producer at the age of 16.

6.

On top of this, Fowleyy would also verbally abuse the band members, all around age 15, callingg them obscenities and giving them hem drill instructor-esque commands. ands.

Sounds like someonee we know.

There are only two differences between Fowley wley and Dr. Luke: Fowley proudly admitted his verbal abuse towards thee band members, though died before he could

comment on the rape, and the Runaways’ story has a happy ending. They fired Fowley and were able to make one last record before the band broke up two years later.

Our society failed to give Kesha such a happy ending.

The judge and Sony seemed to be more concerned about the stability of a company rather than a woman’s safety.

In her complaint against Sony, Kesha said supporting Luke would place all other female artists tied with Sony in “physical danger.”

So far, no other artists have come out with claims of rape by Dr. Luke, but it’s certainly a grim possibility.

Apparently, women in the United States are considered less human than record deals.

And yet we wonder why women almost never report their rapes. Would you report your rape if you were going to be made into a laughing stock like this?

Since her contract with Sony cannot be lifted, she is forced to make three more records with Luke.

The judge gave her the option to work with another producer, but since Luke is the only record producer Sony really takes seriously, the chances of any new music being promoted is slim at best.

Fortunately, several female artists have reached out to Kesha in support, including Lady Gaga, Lorde and Ariana Grande. Taylor Swift recently donated $250,000 to the singer in an act of support.

While this level of loyalty is wonderful, Kesha is still currently being held hostage to her own art.

Think of this as the equivalent to attempting to quit your job, and the corporate office of that company saying you’re not allowed to because you already agreed to work for them.

That should not be legal.

Remember Chris Brown has brutally abused several women throughout his career, yet his music career seems to be as strong as ever.

Kesha, on the other hand, has to continue living and working with her abuser after a decade of enduring it.

Nothing about the verdict with Kesha is humane, and this level of misogyny should not be present in what is soon-to-be the 240th anniversary of the U.S. As a reporter, it is my job to maintain a level of dignity and articulation in my writing.

Therefore, I will sum up my thoughts on this matter the same way fans did on a banner at a 2013 concert: “Fuck Dr. Luke.”
