Bloomingfoods ‘A gift from the votes to unionize

By Brian Seymour briseymo@indiana.edu | @briseymo

Bloomingfoods employees are able to unionize after a vote on the issue Tuesday concluded they would be represented by United Food and Commercial Worker Local 700.

From here, employees will seek to make changes to their current contract, gain better work conditions and fairer wages, though specifics are not being discussed at this time.

“This marks the end of our unionizing campaign,” member owner and employee Kaisa Goodman said. “But this is just the beginning of our contract campaign.”

Eighty percent of the more than 100 voters decided the union’s fate.

Some of the votes were questionable, as not everybody who voted was qualified.

The number of questionable votes was so few, however, that a second election would not have

Gallery owner opens mixed media art exhibit about cancer

By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP

For most, de-cluttering their lives involves organizing a room or ignoring social media for a week.

However for one local artist, decluttering involved fabric, paint and an assortment of beads.

Brianne Harness, owner of be.CAUSE gallery, opened her newest exhibit, “Out of the Weeds” this past week.

The 12-piece mixed media

series was painted by Harness and depicts her emotional struggle throughout her three-time battle with cancer.

She described the work as “vivid,” “ethereal” and “both simple and complex.” Each piece is different, she said, however there is an overall use of bold color and line.

Although the idea for this exhibit first took root a year after her cancer was cured, Harness said she still

IU senior contributes more than $5,000 during final IUDM fundraiser liramoor@indiana.edu | @_LindsayMoore

Waking up in Salamanca, Spain, senior Ellen Rowe had only one thing on her mind. It was 100 days before the IU Dance Marathon, and she was determined to contribute to the 100-Day Challenge and raise $100 in 24 hours for Riley Hospital for Children.

With oceans and language barriers separating her and Indiana, Rowe reached out to family and friends via email. By the end of the day, she had exceeded her goal and raised more than $200 for IUDM. Rowe said she never quits when it comes to IUDM. “It’s just always in the back of my mind,” she said. “I’ll text my director in the middle of night and be like ‘What can I do?’ I’ll get this really weird feeling that I’m not doing enough.”

For her final marathon this year, Rowe contributed $5,396 to IUDM fundraising.

Rowe started fundraising with her committee in February. Like most, Rowe sent out personalized emails, canned down Kirkwood

Avenue and posted embarrassing photos on Facebook for donations.

To take it a step further, Rowe has gotten creative with her fundraising strategies. In 2013, 10 of Rowe’s friends agreed to “sponsor” her for every level of Candy Crush she beat. By donating $1 per level unlocked for two months, Rowe’s friends donated a collective $200.

This year, Rowe has decided to become involved with Locks of Love as well. For every $1,000 raised, Rowe will donate one inch of hair to help make hairpieces for cancer patients.

For Rowe and her family, giving back to Riley Hospital is more than charity.

In December 2012, Rowe’s 12-year-old cousin Shane was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Hodgkin’s lymphoma causes the cells in the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system, to grow abnormally, according to Mayo Clinic. This caused Shane to become sick frequently and suffer from visibly swollen lymph nodes.

IU junior forward Femi Hollinger-Janzen has come a long way.

He was born in Benin, which is in West Africa, and stayed there until the age of six when a missionary named Lynda Hollinger-Janzen decided she couldn’t go home to Goshen, Ind., without him.

For most of his life in West Africa, Femi had a bent-in left leg. Sometimes he would crawl places because it was faster than hobbling around.

That didn’t stop him from playing soccer in the streets with friends from his neighborhood.

By the time Femi moved to Goshen with Lynda and her husband, Rob, his leg problem had fixed itself.

“I’m not 100 percent sure what it was, I just know that I had a deformed left leg,” Femi said. “Over time it healed. It might have just been having weak bones as a little kid. Over time it just grew.” * * * Hank Willems had heard the rumors. There was a new sixthgrader at Bethany Christian ripe with technical ability. Some said he might be good enough to play on the middle school A team, a rare accomplishment for a sixth-grader.

“He was a very good player

for a sixth-grader,” Willems said.

“Not the physical abilities that he has now. But technically and tactically he was pretty advanced even as a sixth-grader.”

Willems coached Femi his sixth-grade season, but he then became the varsity coach for the high school team.

Once Femi started high school, he was playing on the varsity team. With the technical abilities that he possessed, it wasn’t a surprise. But he still lacked the size and athleticism he has today.

Between his sophomore and junior years, Femi grew from 5-foot-10 to 6-foot-1 and added 20 pounds.

Suddenly he was a different player.

“He went from being a good high school player to an impact player,” Willems said. “Physically, his game went to the next level.”

Femi was now a top player not only on his team, but in his conference.

Bethany Christian is a combination of a middle school and a high school. The high school portion of the school has only about 150 students.

It’s difficult for a school of that size to compete athletically. That’s why in Femi’s senior season, when Bethany Cristian went to the final four of the state tournament, it was a big deal.

Femi was a large part of that run.

“He just willed our high school team to victory on several occasions,” Willems said.

“When we made our run to the final four, he simply put the team on his back on some occasions.” * * * It was tradition. Every year Willems gathered all the players he thought had a shot at playing soccer collegiately. That year, Femi was among them.

Willems had the players write down three target schools, three reach schools and three dream schools. For Femi, IU was a dream school.

Willems had connections at IU. His college coach at Trine University had been a former assistant at IU. Willems had worked at IU soccer camps and had built connections with both Jerry and Todd Yeagley. He knew IU would be a great fit for Femi — he just needed to get IU to notice him.

That opportunity came the summer before Femi’s senior year. It was IU soccer camp and one last opportunity to be noticed by the IU coaches.

Femi went to camp, won MVP and had IU Coach Todd Yeagley calling him the next day.

“We were pretty lucky,” Yeagley said. “Femis don’t drop on your camp field too often. It was a gift from the soccer gods that Femi shows up.”

As a high school junior, Femi was named MVP of the SEE FEMI, PAGE 5

Forum details McRobbie’s recent trips abroad

By Anna Hyzy akhyzy@indiana.edu | @annakhyzy

IU has been working toward strengthening its relationships and programs abroad.

As part of this effort, presidential delegations have traveled to Turkey, Saudi Arabia and India this fall.

A forum at 4 p.m. Monday in President’s Hall in Franklin Hall discussed these trips and provided details about some of the relationships developed during the trips.

David Zaret, vice president for international affairs, directed the program.

“Partnerships with these institutions enhance the IU brand worldwide,” he said. “They enhance our reputation.”

Zaret spoke first about the delegation’s visit to Turkey, which was the first visit to the country since 1955, according to a University release.

While in Turkey, the delegation visited a number of universities and met with the elected president of Turkey and his two daughters.

Both of the president’s daughters attended IU, Zaret said.

Zaret said IU’s programs in Turkish language and culture, particularly the Turkish Flagship Program, are at the forefront of the field and that there have been both large numbers of IU students in Turkey and large numbers of Turkish students at IU for years.

“IU-Bloomington has

been a welcoming place for decades for Turkish students,” he said.

While in Turkey, IU President Michael McRobbie also signed a government agreement that will provide funding for both Turkish students to come to IU and for IU students to study abroad in Turkey.

Zaret then discussed the trip to Saudi Arabia, in which IU formalized its relationship with King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

McRobbie also presented an IU alumnus, Sami Baroum, with the Thomas Hart Benton Medallion for his public service.

The trip to India was a short one, with the goal of attending the opening ceremony of IU’s new gateway center, the IU India Office.

Zaret was careful to point out that the gateway is not a satellite campus.

“They are multi-purpose multifunctional spaces,” he said.

He said there have been a number of talks and symposiums held at the gateway and that these talks cover a wide variety of topics, reflecting the breadth of faculty interests at IU. Zaret said that while considering relations abroad IU tries to focus on developing close relationships with a small number of institutions rather than dispersing their resources to many institutions and thus fostering lower-quality relation-

ships.

“We have 32 priority countries with whom we want to work more and more closely,” Zaret said.

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and India are three of these countries.

Trips such as these serve

to do more than establish relationships and agreements, Zaret said.

“We also are looking for advice, suggestions, help with various IU initiatives, such as the establishment of IU gateways,” he said.

Student runs faith-based business

By Samantha Stutsman samstuts@indiana.edu @SAM_meagoodtime

Two years ago, IU senior Christian Livers, with cross in hand, said he went faithfully into a position of entrepreneurship.

Livers is the face of Soldier in God’s Army, a Christian-based business. His mission is to build God’s Army of followers, bringing them to Christ with the help of a new icon.

In 2003, Livers’ father was given an image through prayer by God. The image was of a slanted cross leaning on the letters of “L-O-V-E.” The Livers family decided to patent the image in 2006 and S.I.G.A. was founded.

“God gave this image to my father,” Livers said. “He was praying and he asked ‘Show me your face.’ After 20 minutes he got up and drew this in five minutes. The first prototype was out of tape and cardboard.”

A business competition during Livers’ second year at college at Ohio Northern University confirmed S.I.G.A.’s potential.

“They invited all the students from the business college, whatever idea you had, bring it to the table and you had a two-minute pitch,” Livers said. “There was an opportunity to win $800. I entered it, there were two rounds, and I won.”

The win resulted in a decision to return to his home state and attend IU. “I wanted to come back home,” Livers said. “I just didn’t feel like that school was a good place to really

start something.”

Along with the larger models, the Livers family is now selling jewelry and educational craft kits for kids.

The craft kits are intended to be sold to churches for Sunday school classes or vacation Bible school programs.

The product series is titled “In His Own Image.”

“In the Bible, it states that God created man in an image of himself,” Livers said. “There are a lot of controversial images about what people think Jesus looked like: the black Jesus, the white Jesus. What we’re looking at is that everyone has a head, two hands and two feet. If you’re a Christian and you believe in God, it’s hard to look at this and say, ‘I can’t vibe with that.’”

While juggling school and his business venture, Livers is also the president of Willkie Residence Center.

“I am the head of student government in Willkie,” Livers said. “I help make campus-wide decisions and throw programs for residents each month.”

Being able to take his vision and translate it to the public has been harder than anticipated, he said.

Livers has learned that a tailored approach makes a difference.

“You have to really show somebody how this is going to help them,” Livers said.

“When I first started selling these, I explained it the right way but it didn’t seem sincere. With the faith-based market, it is different. I know it is going to sell, but I have to take more of a serve perspective.”

Livers doesn’t like to compare his business to

others, but he said he hopes that one day, his icon will need no explanation, similar to the W.W.J.D. bracelets.

One day he wants to wake up and see someone he has never met wearing his product.

“Wherever God takes it is what I’m going to do,” Livers said. “The Christian market is huge. There are over 2.3 billion Christians in the world, and in the United States, like 223 million. It would be my dream to reach

that 2.3 billion, but that’s not realistic. I want to reach a decent amount of people and expand that number.”

For the Livers family, it is less about making a profit and more about having a positive effect. That is why the family made the decision to donate 10 percent of its proceeds to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“The idea of the cross keeps me grounded in the things I believe in,” Livers said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 This news came just one month after Rowe attended her first marathon.

“I knew deep down that there was a reason why I needed to be there,” she said.

“It was really inspiring that people just wanted to help.”

After spending eight months in and out of Riley to visit her cousin, Rowe had a new appreciation for the Riley staff and an even stronger passion to give back.

“Personally being affected by it, I took it as (an opportunity) to fundraise as much as I can, really do as much as I can to give back to something that has given back so much to us,” she said.

The following year, Rowe set her fundraising goal to $3,000. She exceeded this and donated $3,500 to Riley.

In June 2013, Shane was pronounced cancer-free.

“Just because I have that huge connection to Riley, it’s always been something I’ve been very passionate about,” she said. “Luckily, my cousin is A-OK right now, but there’s obviously so many other families that need to be helped. That place has just made such a difference in my life.”

In 2013, Rowe was nominated for the Ashley Louise Crouse Award. This award is in honor of late Hoosier and IUDM Vice President

He conceded that IU has relationships with institutions that could not be considered peer institutions, but these are also strategic.

“We give a lot of thought to the universities with which we visit,” he said. of Communications Ashley Crouse. The award is given to one person from each committee who embodies the spirit of IUDM. Shane and his sister also visited the 2013 IUDM. Rowe’s sorority Alpha Xi Delta surprised him with tank tops that read ‘Alpha Xi Delta Dances for Shane.’

“That’s hands down the greatest gift I’ve ever received,” she said. “Just knowing that all those girls were supporting him and wearing his name on their backs as they were enduring those 36 hours, that was really special.”

Rowe’s compassion has led her to pursue work in the medical field.

Rowe is currently majoring in human development and family studies and hopes to work as a child life therapist at Riley Hospital.

Currently, Rowe is an intern through the IU Health program partnered with Riley Hospital.

Shane’s journey has inspired Rowe to continue giving back to kids like him.

“Shane will be like, ‘They did a lot for me’ but I’ll be like ‘You inspire all of us,’” she said. “They’re the inspiration behind it all. These kids aren’t supposed to be in hospital beds. They should be enjoying their lives, and instead they’re fighting things that a majority of us have never even witnessed, and I think that’s just amazing.”

EDITORS: HOLLY HAYS & ANICKA SLACHTA | REGION@IDSNEWS.COM

Turkey prices are higher this year compared to 2013 heading into the holiday season, according to a news release from Purdue University.

Higher feed costs following the 2012 drought caused wholesale turkey prices to

increase 8 to 10 percent higher than the past year.

Sweet potato prices are expected to be slightly higher, while cranberry and white potato prices are expected to remain about the same, according to the release.

A day of remembrance Annual Veterans Day ceremony gives thanks for service

By Brian Seymour briseymo@indiana.edu | @briseymo

Gunfire echoed through the rotunda of the courthouse, breaking the silence from within. A volley of three shots was fired from seven M1 carbines, the standard firearm of the United States military during World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars.

This custom is known as the 21-gun salute, a deepseated military honor which is used to pay tribute for many occasions. The shots rang at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11.

This time and date, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, represents the signing of the First Armistice at Compiègne in north-

ern France, marking Allied victory against the Germans in World War I. Veterans Day. An hour earlier, community members gathered to celebrate the community’s annual Veterans Day ceremony at the Monroe County courthouse, a tradition that began more than 45 years ago.

The ceremony officially began promptly after the 11 chimes of the courthouse bell at 10 a.m.

Col. Turner Nolan, an army veteran of the Korean War, kicked off the ceremony with the schedule of events.

He was also the ceremony’s coordinator and emcee.

“This year we really wanted a personalized tribute for

the WWII vets,” Nolan said.

“Without them, none of us would be here today.”

Of the ceremony’s 105 minutes, 54 were dedicated to the six WWII veterans seated in the front row, an honor designated to them and their families.

During a retelling of their stories by Turner, each serviceman stood before the audience and was welcomed by three officers of the 2-150 Field Artillery Battalion. Each vet received his own standing ovation and applause.

“I am honored and humbled to be standing before these men,” Nolan said. “We have something to be thankful for today.”

The emphasis of the cer-

emony was on the WWII vets, but they’re not the only ones who were recognized. James Arnold, a veteran and the fiscal officer for the American Legion Post 18, presented a ceremony for those classified as prisoners of war or missing in action.

In his speech, Arnold asked that the crowd observe the elements atop a small dining set before them. Each of the elements were made to represent something about the POWs and those MIA. Opening and closing the ceremony were songs of patriotism. In chorus, the audience sang the national anthem and “God Bless America.”

Organization for the event began in September, but

Students in kindergarten through third grade sat dressed in their reds, whites and blues.

Veterans, students and Gov. Pence faculty alike were anticipating a visit to their Veterans Day celebration from Gov. Mike Pence on Tuesday afternoon in the Lighthouse Christian Academy gymnasium.

“It’s a big day for Lighthouse,” Principal Don Wilson said prior to the event.

It was great that Pence chose to join in the ceremonies at Lighthouse, Wilson said, considering all of the other schools he could have chosen in the state.

The Lighthouse community received the call Friday that the governor was going to be visiting the school for their Veterans Day Assembly, an annual event for the school.

An invitation is put out into the community for veterans to attend.

“I think the students are excited,” Wilson said. “I think they’re ready.”

Lighthouse is a fairly small school, with about 190 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. In 2008, the graduating class at Lighthouse was five high school seniors.

Lighthouse is nondenominational, and instead encompasses a gamut of Christian faiths.

While most students are from Monroe County, both Greene County and the Bedford area are also represented.

Lindsay Laughner, a first grade teacher at Lighthouse, expressed the same enthusiasm as the students.

“We’re just really excited about the opportunity,” Laughner said.

In class, the first graders wrote thank-you notes to soldiers to show their appreciation for their service.

The president of the Lighthouse Board of Trustees, Richard Holdeman, spoke before the celebration began.

“We are truly honored that you are here,” Holdeman said to Pence and the crowd.

Holdeman led a prayer before the event commenced, during which the audience stood for the Posting of Colors, Pledge of Allegiance, national anthem and other ceremonials.

Then, one by one, each branch of the military was listed off while the branches’ music played and veterans of the branch at hand stood to be recognized.

Students performed patriotic musical numbers, including the kindergarten students, complete with hand motions, singing “God Bless America” and an orchestral arrangement of “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” performed by some older students.

Principal Wilson then took the podium to introduce Pence.

Not only thanking the

veterans, Pence said that every day is Veterans Day in Indiana.

“I am not a soldier,” Pence said. “I am the son of a soldier.”

Pence said he therefore comes to Veterans Day with a sense of “inadequacy.”

“We need to have hearts filled with gratitude,” Pence said.

Pence encouraged members of the audience to see the veterans not as they are, but as they were in the years they served.

“You were answering a call of duty, and you knew what the risks were — and you did it anyway,” Pence told the veterans.

Pence continually thanked and gave praise to the veterans during his speech.

“The day you said yes to America, you proved you were men and women of courage, committed to this country,” Pence said.

Pence also noted the veterans not in attendance who deserved gratitude.

“Let’s remember the families of our veterans on this Veterans Day,” Pence said.

Even though the generation that fought in WWII is often called the Greatest Generation, Pence said he thinks “those that have answered the call in every generation are the best ones.”

Pence encouraged the audience full of students to be inspired.

“Thank you for your courage,” he said. “Thank you for your service. May God bless you and your families on this Veterans Day.”

to honor vets from different wars as well as the service organizations that helped out today,” Triplett said.

At the end of it all, the ceremony visibly affected several people, including Linda Summitt, a volunteer for the American Legion Post 18’s auxiliary group.

In 2012, Summitt lost her husband, a veteran, to cancer. She also remembers two of her uncles coming home in body bags in her younger years. A third uncle came back shell-shocked from what he saw.

“The whole thing is very emotional,” she said. “These people risk their lives to protect us. We can give them this day.”

changes were made so frequently that organizational efforts were continued even while the ceremony was taking place, Nolan said.

Several groups helped to set up the event. Among them was the American Legion Post 18 and its subsidiaries and the American Red Cross.

Veteran Tom Triplett finished his service in 2009 but continued to aid others just one year later when he became the ARC’s Indiana service armed forces manager.

His duties at the event included providing food and drink to those in attendance and handing out wreaths toward the end of the ceremony.

TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb., will once again be the host venue for the Big Ten baseball tournament in 2016 and 2018, the conference announced Tuesday.

When the tournament took place in Omaha for the first time in this summer, it

set attendance records, including an NCAA record of 19,965 fans May 25 at the Big Ten Tournament Championship game.

IU looks to end losing streak against Rutgers

By Evan Hoopfer ehoopfer@indiana.edu | @EvanHoopfer

After IU lost to Nebraska in consecutive sets this past Saturday, IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan took to Twitter to voice her concerns.

“We did not perform the way we wanted to against Nebraska,” she tweeted. “We have grown so much this year and will get back to being “us” this week.”

IU a bad outing against Nebraska. It lost the first set by 11 points, the second set by eight and the third set by 13.

The Hoosiers (14-12, 5-8) will try and break their threegame losing streak tonight against Rutgers (7-20, 0-14).

The game will take place at 7 p.m. at University Gym. When asked if taking to Twitter was a public motivation call out her team, she said she was just giving a status of where her team is right now.

During this time of the year, she said, it’s common for

players on her team to get in arguments.

But the coach added that it needs to stop.

After Nebraska, the team sat down and had a long talk about what they needed to improve going forward.

“Little things become bigger things that don’t need to,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “I don’t want to say it’s drama, but 15 girls spending hours every day together, things can get a little bit petty.”

Dunbar-Kruzan also stressed the importance of maintaining a positive attitude with each other.

“We gotta make sure we stay in the big picture,” she said. “We have to stay super competitive while not getting at each other’s throats.”

Despite its recent skid, IU still has a chance to carry out its goal, junior libero Courtney Harnish said.

“We want to go to the tournament,” she said. “We have already made strides

IU (14-12, 5-8) vs. Rutgers (7-20, 0-14) 7 p.m. tonight, University Gym compared to years past. So we really have big goals.”

To reach the NCAA Tournament, IU needs to shoot for a goal of going .500 in the Big Ten. Right now, the Hoosiers stand at 5-8 in the conference, so they have work to do.

The last time IU went to the NCAA Tournament was 2010, when it made the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history. It finished 9-11 in the conference.

The rest of the season begins tonight against Rutgers, who is winless in its inaugural season in the Big Ten. Not only are there potentially six games left in IU’s season, but also for senior outside hitter Morgan Leach’s career.

“We may not be the biggest or fastest, but we wanted (chemistry) to be a big factor in how we played,” Leach said.

“And we have. This is way better than the past four years I’ve been here. And I think we let it slack. With any relationship, we have to work on it.”

HEAR ME OUT

Nobody is perfect, including athletes Nobody is perfect.

And yet, the word is used in our everyday vocabulary, perhaps no more than in sports culture.

The pursuit of perfection is the objective for exceptional teams. The 1972 Dolphins and 1976 Hoosiers are paradigms to which every team whose record ends with zero are inevitably compared.

But perfection isn’t just a historic endeavor. It is flirted with every year, from the 2007 Patriots to the 2014 Wichita State Shockers.

The result is that perfection has become normalized in the sporting world, and that’s a problem.

Why? Because it dehumanizes athletes.

If the aim of sports teams is perfection, then that aim disregards human nature. It teaches athletes to strive for something intangible.

Juxtapose that message with the imperfections we see off the field and court, and the results are jarring.

It’s Jameis Winston yelling obscenities in his school’s student union. It’s Paul George

tweeting his two cents about the Ray Rice scandal. It’s Josh Gordon jeopardizing his rising star power by getting his second drug-related suspension in three seasons.

Athletes are expected to be perfect game in and game out. The psychological duress of that expectation has to be vented through other means.

Enter the challenge for young athletes, many of whom grew up in an environment where leisure was synonymous with drugs, alcohol and immature behavior.

Compound that challenge with a fact of basic genetics.

The prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for decision making, doesn’t fully develop until age 25.

This season, the most common player age in the NFL is 24. There are nearly 400 active players younger than that age.

In the NBA, almost 40 percent of players fell between age 22 and 25 last season.

That means even with the knowledge that working as a professional athlete requires more accountability,

repercussions aren’t fully conceivable to players until the prime of their careers.

Throw college athletes in the equation, and it’s no wonder why IU basketball has experienced the off-the-court problems it has recently.

This is not to excuse anyone’s behavior. Rather, it’s meant to reinforce the importance of containing it.

There is, undoubtedly, a cultural leniency when it comes to college and professional athletics. In an environment that places athletic ability atop the hierarchy, this translates into lesser urgency to cultivate good behavior.

Fans, coaches and even commissioners may be quick to excuse infractions for the better of the sport or team.

This is where the importance of the coaching staff cannot be understated. Instead of loosening the structure, coaches need to be able to instill these fundamental values in their players.

Off-court work is just as important as on-court work — and recognizing that athletes are young men and

women with individual temperaments is a crucial step in achieving any sort of success.

Similarly, allowances for human nature, for mistakes, are intrinsic to our understanding as fans.

It’s been nine days since IU Coach Tom Crean laid down suspensions for Troy Williams, Stan Robinson and Emmitt Holt. Perhaps unavoidably, the success of this season will affect our memory of those events.

Many fans might be willing to forget because they want the team to succeed.

I’m inclined to forgive, because players are human and, by definition, imperfect.

And if we strive to coach perfection within the game, why isn’t there a greater emphasis to coach athletes to similar success outside of it? vziege@indiana.edu FR

Decatur Central quarterback Tommy Stevens scrambles outside of the pocket. The 3-star prospect decommitted from IU on Monday.

What losing a 3-star quarterback means When committing to IU in June, high school senior quarterback Tommy Stevens said some interesting words to the Indy Star about other big-name schools that may come along and offer him a scholarship.

“If other teams were going to offer, they would have offered a long time ago if I was that important,” Stevens said.

“If they just now realized they are going to offer, I’m a backup plan. I don’t want to go anywhere where I’m a backup plan.”

Stevens rescinded his commitment from IU and announced Monday he will now go to Penn State.

Stevens was the backup plan.

Penn State Head Coach James Franklin began chasing Stevens hard last month when former PSU commit Brandon Wimbush switched his commitment to Notre Dame.

Irony aside, the 3-star quarterback prospect is a far bigger loss for IU than he is a gain for Penn State.

Stevens was the centerpiece of IU’s 2015 recruiting class and the guy that had the best chance at taking IU football to a higher level.

He was going to be Sudfeld’s heir.

The 6-foot-4-inch player is a strong dual-threat quarterback that had the ability to possibly mesh the two things Tre Roberson and junior Nate Sudfeld separately brought to the table, the run and the pass.

It was easy to see Stevens going to sit behind Sudfeld for a year, develop as a passer and learn from a veteran quarterback. Then he would take over the Hoosiers.

I don’t want to overstate his abilities. He is only a teenager that could have never panned out, but I think he will be a very good college football player.

It is not just that IU is losing a good quarterback prospect.

It is the way things are going so poorly so fast for this program that it feels like a landslide where debris begins falling slowly, then all at once.

The big thing Kevin Wilson had going for him was momentum in the right direction.

No, he wasn’t winning yet,

BRODY MILLER is a sophomore in journalism.

but he was increasing his wins each year and he was bringing in high quantities of foundational talent that has made this team evidently better as a whole in my eyes.

Then, Sudfeld went out for the season with a shoulder injury, and we cannot see the progress that has actually been made.

Now, IU is at risk of losing all eight Big Ten games in a year in which it was supposed to make the jump to being a bowl-eligible team.

The loss of Stevens may be the tipping point to more bad momentum for IU football.

That positive momentum Wilson was building is starting to go away, and now recruits may start backing away more from a 3-6 football team that just lost its headline recruit.

It will be harder to snag other quality recruits than it was when Stevens committed, because now things are trending in the wrong direction.

High school kids IU chases after will not be very attracted to the product IU is unfortunately putting out there each Saturday for the rest of the season.

I don’t blame Wilson for any of this. I think he has done a quality job of changing the culture.

The Hoosiers had been the cool, exciting new offense in Bloomington that people wanted to join, or join the defense that would make the team complete.

A few transfers and a bad injury later and that “coolness” is gone.

Tommy Stevens switching his commitment could be worse than just losing a quarterback prospect.

Or, this young team will come back and have a very strong season next year and bring recruits back in. I think they will have a good 2015 season.

The 2015 recruiting class, on the other hand, may be an off year. brodmill@indiana.edu

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 conference, was first team all-conference and was third team all-state.

But the talent level in Goshen is not at the same level as other parts of the state, meaning no one quite knew how good Femi actually was.

“Femi really didn’t know how good he was either until he got around good players,” Yeagley said. “He was in a bit of an igloo up there in Goshen and didn’t have much to compare himself to.”

Growing up in the state of Indiana since the age of six, Femi considered himself an IU fan. Add in the history and prestige of the soccer program, and IU was a dream school for him.

He still remembers the moment IU offered him a scholarship.

“It was an amazing feeling,” Femi said. “A little disbelief at first. I haven’t had a feeling like it in a while. It’s a dream college to play for,

so when they called me up, I was all for it.”

Femi credits Willems with helping him get to IU. He also said Willems helped him grow not only as a soccer player, but as a young man.

“He was a great mentor to me,” Femi said. “He taught me everything about soccer as well as being a great person. I definitely would not be where I am right now without his leadership and coaching.”

Since arriving at IU, Femi has done nothing but excel. His freshman season he scored the game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory in the College Cup semifinals against Creighton.

Last season Femi was tied for the team lead in goals with five. This season he has started every game and is once again tied for the team lead in goals with five.

“It’s not bad playing with him,” IU senior Jamie Vollmer said jokingly. “The man’s really good and dangerous at all times. Having that on your team is really important, and he’s been great for us.”

Both Yeagley and Willems

said they believe Femi still has room to grow as a player.

Yeagley said Femi still hasn’t realized how athletic he is and how physical he can be.

Yeagley called him too much of a “nice guy.”

“He wants to win but he doesn’t realize how big he can be and how physical he can be without being dirty,” Yeagley said. “That’s been fun to watch him realize that he can sort of manhandle some guys. He’s started to realize that more with every year.”

As for life after IU, Willems thinks Femi will end up working with kids in some capacity, whether it be through education or coaching. Willems said his son and daughter idolize Femi.

Still, Willems thinks Femi wants to continue playing soccer as long as possible.

“I think his first goal is to continue to play soccer as long as he can,” Willems said.

“I think he has the ability, if he works at it, to play soccer beyond college. That would be another dream come true.”

made a difference to the initial outcome.

The election took place at the Courtyard Marriott instead of at one of Bloomingfoods’s five locations.

Goodman said the election was off-site to avoid any potential bias at the workplaces. The Courtyard Marriott was selected as a neutral and central location by both the employees and management.

Both sides, Bloomingfoods management and UFCW Local 700, thanked all parties for allowing a fair democratic process to take place.

“Our management team gives our thanks to the union leadership and the employees active in the organizing campaign for the orderly and respectful conduct and behavior that was exemplified in this process,” Bloomingfoods General Manager George Huntington said in a release from Bloomingfoods.

“There were lingering feelings and thoughts that got in the way of starting new,” she said.

Which is why the artistic style of “Out of the Weeds” ventures away from Harness’ typical work. She described each work as a “mish-mash” of techniques.

The exhibit features images of a woman wearing dresses made of adhered, textured pieces of linen.

Harness hand-painted the fabric before beading and attaching it to the artwork.

She said she wanted the added texture to capture the eye of the spectator and bring more focus to the sole figure in each of her paintings.

Now that the exhibit is open, Harness said she feels she is finally a blank canvas.

Currently, Harness is work-

our co-op even better.”

Scott Barnett, the organizing director for UFCW Local 700, also thanked Bloomingfoods management for a “fair and unfettered election.”

“They’re allowing workers to have a voice and move towards a collective bargaining agreement,” he said.

The issue as to whether the employees would be represented as a union began in August, when workers of the local food cooperative expressed their concerns to Barnett.

Among the concerns was a lack of transparency between the co-op’s board of directors and member owners.

Several member owners and employees at Bloomingfoods also said they felt the board was straying away from a co-op’s democratic values and principles.

Agreement seemed bleak early in the unionization dispute when Bloomingfoods had conversations with Nathan Baker, an anti-union consultant with Indianapolis-based law firm Barnes and Thornburg.

But after about a month of contention, an apparent

agreement giving employees free reign over unionization was made at Bloomingfoods’s annual meeting Oct. 16.

On Oct. 31, the UFCW Local 700 and Bloomingfoods announced they would enter into an election agreement that Barnett said was “consistent with the progressive social values that Bloomingfoods holds towards its workers and the community.”

Moving forward, the employees will elect a negotiating committee and start their interest-based bargaining campaign, Barnett said.

Getting to the negotiating tables may take several months, though. Barnett said the employees and management would like to take some time off away from the union issue to cool off during the shopping season and to avoid conflicting with local retail profitability.

“Ultimately, this is a long-term relationship between Bloomingfoods and the UFCW,” Goodman said.

“One thing has ended, but something bigger is about to begin.”

ing on a new series of works that allows her to concentrate on what her style should be.

She described it as “unique, contemporary realism.”

More specifically, Harness wanted to reign her work in, focusing on using conflicting techniques. Rather than sticking with a more traditional painting style, she wanted to change things up.

“I kind of like to veer off of that and make something interesting,” Harness said, adding that if she craved a more realistic image, she preferred to photograph it.

Regardless of how contemporary or realistic her paintings are, Harness said she hopes people find a message in her work.

People often see very different things from each piece, Harness said. However, for “Out of the Weeds,” she said she hopes audiences can adopt a level of bravery from her work.

“You can always find light

in the tunnel,” she said.

Even in the darkest times, Harness said she found happiness.

She wants the same for her audiences. Though the root of “Out of the Weeds” came from coming to terms with her experiences with cancer, she did not want people to think of her work as a closed means of selfreflection.

The 12 pieces of artwork were meant to be relatable, she said.

“Not everyone is going to want to look at cancer in artwork,” Harness said. Instead, each painting is meant to reflect the beauty anyone can find in a moment of hardship, any hardship. They could be about anything, she added.

“Be free and be brave,” Harness said. “Everyone has different struggles in life ... Untangle yourself from the weeds.”

IU Opera performs a dress rehearsal for the “The Last Savage” on Tuesday in the Musical Arts Center. Andrew Richardson (center) plays the maharaja, who is engaged to the main character Kitty.

A wild discovery Jacobs’ newest opera searches for the world’s last primitive man

By Sarah Panfil smpanfil@indiana.edu

Dancers covered in greenery scamper around the center stage of the Musical Arts Center.

A woman in a pink explorer’s costume and high heels runs across stage through the forestry in search of a wild man.

A moment later, the scene switches to a palace in India.

Actors in glittering and elaborate costumes gather to see a caged man brought in front of them during rehearsal for the upcoming Jacobs School of Music opera, “The Last Savage,” Tuesday night.

The semester’s last opera will open 8 p.m. Friday night at the MAC. “The Last Savage” is a comedic opera by Italian-American composer Gian Carlo Menotti.

The piece follows the story of young anthropologist Kitty on her quest to find a primitive man, “the last savage.”

Kitty’s millionaire father wants her to forgo her plans and marry the son of a maharaja, an Indian king. Together with the maharaja, her father stages the discovery of the supposed “last savage,” who is really just a peasant named Abdul.

The opera is packed with wit, trickery and humor, as well as commentary on the culture of the 1960s, according to the music school.

Despite Menotti’s fame as a composer, the original premiere in 1963 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris was met with heavy criticism.

In 2011, the Santa Fe Opera revived Menotti’s piece to an entirely different reaction — critics praised the performance.

This year much of the Santa Fe Opera’s artistic team, including stage director Ned Canty, will help produce the opera at the MAC. Frequent guest conductor Constantine Kitsopoulos also joins the School of Music for the production of “The Last Savage.”

Kitsopoulos has conducted at Carnegie Hall and led orchestras on Broadway.

At Jacobs, he brings his experience to a school environment.

The IU Opera cast performs a scene in “The Last Savage” on Tuesday.

Mr. Scattergood, played by Reuben Walker, performs with Kitty, played by Angela Yoon, during the dress rehearsal for IU Opera’s production of “Last Savage” on Tuesday in the Musical Arts Cetner.

Yet, Kitsopoulos said, Jacobs manages to put on professional performances.

While Jacobs has done more notorious dramatic pieces in the past, “The Last Savage” is obscure and humorous.

“It’s a good piece and it’s worth presenting,” Kitsopoulos said. “Menotti is making fun of

the high society and their attitude towards the working class.

It’s a satire.”

As an opera, music is crucial to the performance’s success.

Kitsopoulos said the essence of the opera is in both music and text.

From there, he added, the artistic team adds stylistic details

like dialect. The opera is performed in English, though it was originally written in Italian.

“All these little things inform the style and approach, but I always go back to music and text,” Kitsopoulos said. “The music is called upon to convey emotions, to build tension, to be playful or comedic.”

Kitsopoulos also said “The Last Savage” uses music in an uncommon way. In most operas, the orchestra is used to establish transitions in the performance.

“Menotti in this particular piece puts the onus on the vocal line to change the key and take us to a different place,” he said.

“In that way, it’s unique.”

The comedy, like the music of “The Last Savage,” also relies heavily on timing.

“Comedy doesn’t happen by accident,” Kitsopoulos said. “(Stage director Ned Canty) knows how to teach comedy.

He’s a virtuoso of teaching comedy because he himself started out as an actor and he’s also very musical.”

In many ways the piece is widely known as a challenge — little known, unique and comedic. The opera also features high soprano keys and musical challenges.

There are two casts for “The Last Savage.” Martha Eason, who stars as Kitty for the opening night cast, said although it is vocally challenging the role is well worth the effort.

“She’s stubborn and school smart but she’s not very life experienced,” Eason said, laughing as she describes Kitty. “This role is probably my favorite I’ve ever done just because of who Kitty is and what she gets to sing.”

Eason is a master’s student at IU, pursuing a degree in performance. “The Last Savage” will be her third opera with IU. She said she chose IU in part due to its opera performances, of which there are six per year.

The Jacobs School chooses a wide variety of operas to perform throughout the year.

Eason said “The Last Savage” especially appeals to a SEE SAVAGE, PAGE 11

IDS EDITORIAL BOARD

LEXIA BANKS is a junior in journalism.

I’m sure a lot of things come to mind when you think about fan fiction.

Bad grammar, poor plot lines.

Personally, I think of gay porn. But that’s the side effect of a long summer on Tumblr where my nerdy friends had nothing better to do than write their two favorite male characters into poorly developed relationships based purely off of spontaneous sex.

Sadly, this is the impression many people have regarding fan fiction because of their exposure to sites such as Tumblr.

What people don’t realize is there is a past and a future for fan fiction off the web, and it’s actually a great benefit to writers.

Anna Todd is one of many online fan-fiction writers. She’s best known for “After,” her rather long, erotic One Direction fan fiction.

After noticing all of the attention “After” was getting, Wattpad, the site Todd was publishing on, took the story to an imprint of Simon and Schuster, and one six-figure book deal later, Todd is looking at a four-book series with the first already in stores.

Todd isn’t the only fanfiction writer to bring her work into the real world.

Fun fact: “50 Shades of Grey” began as a “Twilight” fan fiction, and now author E.L. James has sold millions of copies worldwide.

Cassandra Claire, author of the “Mortal Instruments” series, began as a Harry Potter fan-fiction writer.

But published fan fiction dates back even further.

In 1913, Sybil Briton published “Old Friends and New Fancies — an Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen,” which became the first Jane Austen fan fiction ever published.

In 1968, Jennifer Guttridge wrote “The Rise of Soshern,” a “Star Trek” fiction in which Captain Kirk and Spock become lovers.

It became the first slash fiction ever published.

Fan fiction is by no means a fruitless type of writing. It’s not just a bunch of 18-year-old girls writing themselves into really hot sex scenes with their favorite characters — that’s only part of it.

For people who want to write, the world of fan fiction is mecca.

You already have the people and places you love, and now they’re in your control. The best way to get better at something is to do it.

The collaboration in fan fiction is a benefit of the Internet that every writer needs. Forums allow for feedback and criticism.

People can share their thoughts and you can adjust the story as you write, slowly getting better as you come into your own style.

Another bonus to online fan fiction is the option of anonymity. Many writers publish under a fake name to protect their identities and feel more confident while posting.

Fan fiction is making it easier for young writers to develop a story and get over the nerves of publishing their work.

They’re learning to accept criticism and how to apply it and how to tend to an audience.

So don’t wrinkle your nose the next time you hear someone talk about fan fiction. It’s a growing industry brimming with talented people. lnbanks@indiana.edu

Crossing the line WE SAY: Sexual harasment isn’t funny The Indiana Daily Student Editorial Board loves comedy jokes.

Drop by one of our meetings and you might catch us riffing on the news and laughing at the riffs.

What you won’t hear is anyone yelling threatening or racist sexual fantasies about each other across the room.

Because that isn’t a fun joke.

That is harassment.

We only feel the need to clarify because comedian Artie Lange seems confused.

On Nov. 4, the comedian known for work on “MADtv” tweeted sexually explicit and racially charged fantasies at ESPN reporter Cari Champion, all in the name of #jokes.

About Champion, a black woman, he muses, “Here’s the scenario I’m using to jerkoff to chick on First Take I’m T. Jefferson and she’s my slave. She beats the shit out of me and runs free.”

Later he tweets his fantasies directly at Champion. “I attempt to whip @CariChampion cuz she disrespected the Jefferson Plantation, but she grabs whip and beats me I come like a fat founding father.”

These are just two of a string of tweets about and directed at Cari Champion.

Their disgusting and explicit nature sounded alarms for many people and groups, and all around there was outrage at his behavior and calls for TV shows and venues to cancel his appearances, which he did not take well.

When accused of harassment, Lange tweeted a beautiful non-apology.

You see, he observed that “@CariChampionwas a gorgeous lady.”

Apparently that warranted online harassment. Oh, yeah,

and he “also noticed she was black.” Because he’s not racist. At all.

“I then thought it would be funny to tweet JOKES about that observation,” he said. “A decision which might be the end of modern comedy.”

Given the response to his “jokes,” we think that most modern comedians wouldn’t want their work lumped in with Lange’s behavior.

To Champion, he says, “if this hurt you in any way I’m sorry.”

He then complains about the “PC groups” who lost him his gig on the Comedy Central show “@Midnight.”

It’s not clear who the “PC groups” that Lange refers to are, but he blames them.

Because PC groups were the ones who sexually harassed a public figure and still don’t get why that was inappropriate.

Sure.

Lange seems entirely unaware of his own inappropriateness.

Moreover, his apology to Champion indicates he’s not sorry he did it, only sorry he might have damaged his chances at a relationship with her, which we believe might have never been in his cards.

Champion has not responded to his tweets or spoken about the issue.

Explaining sexual harassment to men such as Lange, who cites six white men and Richard Pryor as his comedy heroes, has long been a struggle for the women who experience it.

Suffice it to say, women usually aren’t excited to hear your sexual fantasies about them.

Especially when they’re at work.

Especially when they don’t

know you.

Sexual harassment is not funny or flattering — it’s vicious.

It tells women that the public spaces they inhabit are under the control of people who want to hurt or violate them.

It tells them they are, at all times, sexual objects, only there to please the men around them.

Moreover, if a woman does not respond well to an instance of sexual harassment, she could be in danger of physical harm or even being killed.

That Lange did this so publicly means he must be publicly shamed, otherwise it will be a condonation of this behavior. And just because Lange has a right to say what he wants, does not mean he gets to keep his TV spots.

Sexual fantasies themselves aren’t wrong.

Fulfilling sexual fantasies with a consenting partner can be a wonderful experience for all involved.

Telling a stranger or someone with whom you are not sexually involved your fantasies about them is a violation.

Lange’s tweets are likely only a few of many reminders Champion gets that she is a black woman working in a male-dominated industry.

Reminders that many of her viewers will see her as nothing but eye candy.

That some people will look at her and still, even after a hundred years, think “slave.”

It’s a reminder that no matter how hard a woman works, there will always be a man pulling her power out from under her.

Like most women, Champion will continue to be harassed online, on the street and in the workplace.

And it will never be funny.

The editorial board comprises columnists contributing to the Opinion page and the Opinion editors.

As a fertile human woman (not to brag, but an OB-GYN once told me my cervix is “perfect”), I sometimes worry about pregnancy. As a 12-year-old girl, there were about 3 months where I was convinced I had immaculately conceived. Turns out, 12-yearolds just have notoriously irregular periods.

But when it comes to fetal personhood laws, my worries are well-founded.

These laws treat fetuses as people, sometimes at the expense of the mothers’ rights. Thirty-eight states, including Indiana, have fetal homicide laws.

Originally intended to increase penalties in crimes against pregnant women, the laws have since been used to punish women who miscarry.

Repeated ballot measures have failed in their attempts to guarantee what is referred to in the most recent North Dakota measure as “the inalienable right to life of every human being at any stage of development.”

The “Life at Conception Act” is still floating around Congress. It declares Constitutional protections begin at the moment of fertilization.

Lynne M. Paltrow and Jeanne Flavin wrote an excellent piece in the New York Times on Nov. 7, “Pregnant, and No Civil Rights,” that shows how these laws are a detriment to women’s fundamental human rights. Judges make medical decisions instead of doctors, accident-prone women are arrested as attempted murderers and birth plans are decided by sheriffs.

I don’t want to retread that ground, though I do strongly recommend their piece. Here, I am more concerned with how personhood laws fail to make any logical sense.

Research indicates that 22 percent of fertilized eggs fail to implant in the uterus.

Following the logic of personhood laws, 22 percent of people die before their mothers are even pregnant.

With so many people dying undetected, should every menstrual period of a sexually active straight person be a time for mourning and reflection? Every bit of spotting a calamity? Oh woe, the people we might have lost. What tragedy Aunt Flo brings.

When I told a friend I was writing this column, she wondered if she should name each period to mark the solemnity of the occasion. Last month was Jim. This month was Rita. We’re all going to miss Rita.

The bizarre nature of this thought process is less funny later in pregnancy.

The 15 to 20 percent of women who experience miscarriages late enough in pregnancy to know about them become suspects in a possible crime.

Increasingly, women who miscarry are arrested even before it is determined why the miscarriage happened, according to the New York Times.

Because some fertilized eggs aren’t carried to term, every fertile female body is a potential crime scene. We become places instead of people. Incubators prone to malfunctions.

And that’s the irony of fetal personhood laws. In pursuing fetal personhood, we have stopped caring about female persons. casefarr@indiana.edu

QUE SARAH, SARAH

Why did no one participate?

Last Tuesday’s election was a disappointment.

No, not just because Republicans took control of the Senate in an overwhelmingly triumphant sweep of the nation that left Democrats literally and colloquially seeing red.

Not just because all of my conservative friends and family members immediately took to social media to gloat — sorry, “celebrate” — their tremendous and admittedly dramatic victory against all of President Obama’s allies.

Not just because everyone is already tossing around the phrase “repeal Obamacare.”

Tuesday’s election was a disappointment because less than half of the nation decided to vote.

Voter turnout for nonpresidential election cycles has been declining steadily for the past few decades, but the number of eligible Americans who decided it was worth their time to carve out a trip to the polls was particularly low.

A mere 28 percent of the eligible voting population went to the polls in Indiana this year, down from 38 percent in 2010, according to U.S. News and World Report.

Midterm election turnout has been dropping steadily since the 1960s. Almost 50 percent of the nation voted in the 1966 midterms, but only 42 percent cast ballots in 2010.

Personally, I find those statistics humiliating.

We live in a country that loves to boast of its many freedoms, but less than half of the population feels compelled to take a break from their busy days and voice their opinions about the country’s leadership.

The statistic that truly struck me was that only 13 percent of voters were younger than 30.

Fewer than two in 10 young Americans felt it was important enough to take the time to do some basic research and get to the polls.

As a woman, I feel personally offended by that statistic

SARAH KISSEL is a sophomore in English literature.

— and I also think it contributed to the incredible victory celebrated by Republicans, considering the younger population is more likely than others to vote Democratic.

As I walked around campus Tuesday encouraging my classmates to vote, I was neutralized by the same responses: “I have tons of homework,” “I don’t know any of the candidates” and “I forgot to register to vote.”

It has been fewer than 100 years since women gained suffrage in 1920. That means there are women alive today who were born into a society that did not consider women — or young people for that matter — intelligent or qualified enough to vote.

In four countries around the world, women are still denied the right to vote.

Throughout history, countless protesters and activists have died violent deaths in an attempt to procure that basic human right.

But you have homework?

OK. Based on the dramatic shifts that occurred Tuesday, as well as dozens of other factors, the 2016 presidential election will reveal many crucial things about our nation and ourselves.

Two years from now, show those who fought and died for your rights some respect and appreciation. Google “voter registration” and sign yourself up. Take half an hour to research the basic opinions of each candidate running and pick whomever you feel is the most qualified.

Sit down for 90 minutes and watch “Iron Jawed Angels” and learn about suffragists.

We are incredibly lucky to be Americans for so many reasons, and the right to choose our leaders is a big one. Participate. sbkissel@indiana.edu

SHRACK BITES

Save entreprenuership for after college Just when you think college students cannot fit any more responsibilities on their plates, some of them have decided to become business managers.

While being a student manager has its benefits, the burden of running a business might not be worth it.

There are fliers all around campus that advertise for management positions specifically for students.

Students can choose from a variety of business ventures, from painting businesses to food-delivery franchises and everything in between.

This might seem to be a great opportunity at first glance.

It gives students a chance to gain experience in managing workers and hitting targeted sales.

Students have the option of creating their own schedule.

They also get to be their own boss, which is very attractive to many young adults.

However, one issue that is discussed when students are hired into management positions is stress.

Running a business, satisfying customers and managing employees is a huge burden for a young adult to carry, especially while in school.

Issues of respect might appear because of the manager’s age.

It might be difficult for employees to take their bosses seriously when he or she is younger.

This lack of respect from employees because of their manager’s age might prevent training from being taken seriously.

This can eventually lead to a decrease in profit.

There might also be a

lack of respect on the part of potential clients caused by the manager’s young age.

Consumers understand young managers might very well be juggling classes in addition to their jobs.

Consumers might feel unsure that the business can complete an order or job because they know the workers have plenty of other obligations to handle.

Managing a business in college can lead to lower GPAs because of a lack of time management and the stress of leading a business.

A student who is enrolled in 15 credit hours is in class between 12 and 13 hours a week.

It is recommended that students invest two to three hours per week doing homework or reading for each course.

After spending time on school work and classes, a student has spent about 28 hours on school alone.

When we throw a 30hour work week into the mix, a student will be investing just under 60 hours a week in school and work.

Being this busy leads to high levels of stress, which causes a decrease in both mental and physical well-being.

It is important to think twice when stepping into the shoes of a business manager while being a student.

While fulfilling an influential role might look great on paper, it is not always the best decision when it comes to living a healthy life in your young adult years. eshrack@indiana.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Is Obama still relevant?

“Today I had a chance to speak with John Boehner and congratulated Mitch McConnell on becoming the next Senate majority leader,” President Obama said in the opening of his White House press conference following the Democrats’ Tuesday massacre. “And I told them both that I look forward to finishing up this Congress’s business and then working together for the next two years to advance America’s business.”

Obama struck an optimistic, cooperative tone. Of course, he better. If he wants to have any relevance going forward, what choice does he have but to play nice with Republicans, or at least talk nice?

This begs the trilliondollar question: Is Obama

still relevant? Given the truly historic proportion of this Republican victory, is Obama about to become the lamest of lame-ducks?

Before Republicans get too excited, I would caution that a president is never irrelevant, simply due to the sheer power of the office. We don’t call it the Bully Pulpit for nothing.

There are plenty of muscles for the commander-in-chief to flex, even if the opposing party runs the fitness center.

I would point conservatives to a notable example from their presidential icon, Ronald Reagan. Six years into his presidency, in 1986, Reagan’s party likewise lost the Senate and again lost the House. And yet, Reagan’s final two years

were rich with success, seeing a number of summits, the signing of the INF treaty and benefits of the 1986 Tax Reform Act. Alas, there was one key negative in Reagan’s final two years: the Iran-Contra hearings, which Democrats tried to turn into the second Watergate, seeking Reagan’s demise.

Could Republicans seek the same against Obama? I doubt it. Any attempt to do so, no matter the validity, would be met with the loudest wails of “racism” and everything and anything else from the progressive corner.

For Obama to implement much of anything from his agenda, what will it take? His main source of impact will not

come in bipartisan achievements but in unilateral overtures. We may see him attempt to further rely on executive orders, which would be unfortunate and even more divisive. He will also hammer out a long-term liberal legacy with the courts, where he can help shape law and culture.

So, is President Obama still relevant?

Yes, but much less so.

His own radicalism in attempting to fundamentally transform America has prompted Americans to fundamentally transform his plans.

Paul Kengor Professor of Political Science Grove City College

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Republicans’ new responsibility The Republicans have regained a majority in the Senate in a chain of resounding wave election victories.

I’m happy about it.

If you fall on the right side of the political spectrum, you’re happy about it.

But we cannot cave to the temptation of complacency in the wake of triumph.

As citizens of this remarkable shining city on a hill called the United States of America, it is our responsibility to oversee our elected officials with constant vigilance.

The Republican Party is

the major party in this country, which best combines the embodiment of conservative principles and the pragmatism of electoral victory, but it is far from perfect.

As we have seen repeatedly throughout history, Republicans are at times just as apt to betray their constituents to feed the alluring enticement of government expansion as those on the left.

But we can combat that possibility.

By remaining heedful stewards of our constitution.

As Frédéric Bastiat so mas-

terfully said, “As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from its true purpose — that it may violate property instead of protecting it — then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder.”

All lawmakers are a potential threat to liberty if their power is not held in check.

One World Trade Center reopened last week.

It signifies the steadfast resilience of our citizens against cowardly yet earthshaking at-

tacks by the evils of abroad.

Let us not dishonor those who have died because of or for the sake of our freedoms by allowing our nation to destroy itself from within.

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

The time to celebrate our victory was on election night.

Now is the time to continue the fight.

Matt Shute External Vice Chairman College Republicans mshute@indiana.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Re: ‘Marriage has some strings attached’ In Carmen (Heredia Rodriguez’s) column “Marriage has some strings attached,” she mentioned several benefits for married couples.

Unfortunately, these benefits are not seen for all people who rush into marriage. When discussing raising a family and comparing married vs. single couples with children, (Heredia Rodriguez) said couples married before their first child have a 13 percent chance, versus 40 percent of their unmarried counterparts, to separate within the first five years of marriage.

A stable home is always beneficial to a child and being married is not the crucial

factor. Couples with children on the way before marriage are encouraged by society to marry, even when they are not compatible, “for the child.”

Marrying earlier does not solve this, but access to reproductive services does give the option to decide when it is the right time for a child, because each child can cost more than $245,000 for the first 18 years — not including college.

According to a University of Michigan study, “the earlier a woman can start birth control, the more likely she is to earn higher wages later in life.”

This allows women to invest into their “human capital,”

such as careers and education.

Yet women, who are single, pay more than a million dollars more in their lifetime than their married counterparts due to tax breaks, social security benefits and savings in health and housing due to discriminatory policies. Men face similar discrimination and costs when unmarried. Financially, marriage is the greatest tax break you can get from the government, but can hinder a woman’s career by employer discrimination against married women due to a potential pregnancy.

Marriage isn’t the solution to everyone’s problems

and should be because both parties benefit from the commitment and wish to take part without pressure from children, etc.

(Heredia Rodriguez’s) article also is massively heteronormative and misses the unique challenges faced by the LGBT community especially during a time of massive gay marriage legalization. If you are someone considering marriage, there are more negatives to marriage than just being ostracized from your peers and many more benefits than low divorce rates.

WHIZZES AND BANGS

Filling up Kenrick’s cup is cheap journalism We all know actress Anna Kendrick.

She has grabbed the public’s attention with her on- and off-screen presence.

Her Twitter account is something to be admired. So much wit, so little space.

Recently, a reporter at Marie Claire was given the assignment of spending an evening with Kendrick, an evening that included getting a little drunk together. It seems the ultimate goal was the evening of shenanigans would lead to some sort of conversational gem.

Although I can’t say I would turn down a night of fun with Kendrick, because we all know that would be the best night ever, it is wrong to exploit the actress and the situation with the hopes of weaseling out some entertaining quotes.

It’s one thing to ap-

proach the situation with the magazine saying the reporter decided to get drunk with Kendrick and then write about it, but the article written in Marie Claire did not address it as such.

It was just the standard interview.

But I think the real issue lies within the fact that Jezebel chose to address the situation and make the claim that Marie Claire’s article did not do justice to a drunk Kendrick.

It seems to be implied that, had Jezebel been the source of Kendrick’s interview, it would have so much more from her and there should have been something more interesting happening because of the presence of alcohol in this interview.

By making these claims, Jezebel, whether intentionally

or not, enforces the idea that it is OK to exploit a person in a drunken situation.

And it’s not OK. In places such as IU, where much of the culture is centered around drinking and partying, it’s absolutely essential to have an understanding of what it means to exploit someone who is under the influence.

When under the influence, an individual isn’t fully capable of expressing their consent, whether it be sexual consent or otherwise.

It is much easier to get a drunk person to agree to say and do ridiculous, dangerous, stupid things.

When these factors aren’t taken into consideration, harm can befall all individuals involved in the situation.

The exploited individual

TRACY JOHNSON is a senior in English.

runs the risk of physical harm, being represented inappropriately or any number of things while the individual who is doing the exploiting runs the risk of legal repercussions.

It’s all good and fun to use alcohol for an evening of shenanigans, but there are many risks that need to be accounted for, and alcohol should never be used in order to exploit another individual, whether you are trying to write an interesting story or you are trying to gain some kind of sexual favor.

It’s wrong, no matter the context. johnstra@indiana.edu

Crossword

Here at the Kinsey Institute, it is not our job to place blame on you or your partner.

What I’d suggest is to talk together and try to not blame one another. Those kinds of negative feelings may help one of you to win a fight, but it probably won’t help you feel that good in your relationship or your sexual experiences together.

Does your girlfriend asked to be touched sexually or fondled while she is resting or sleeping? If so, what are her expectations? Does she want you to stay and touch her until she wakes up? If so, that may be unrealistic as, at some point, you may fall asleep too or have other things to do.

Giving her fair expectations — for example, saying that you’re happy to touch her until she falls asleep but might do something else after she falls asleep — is one path to try.

It also sounds like you are feeling as though you initiate sex and touching almost all the time and that this bothwith someone who likes to banter and invent. Brainstorm.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Today is a 9 — It’s getting fun now. Today and tomorrow are good for making money. Keep playing, and your cards improve. Have faith. Friends help you make an important connection. Respectfully get advice from an expert.

Invite someone special to dinner.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — Feelings of love surround you.

You’re especially charming now. Your personal power could seem intense over the next few days. Settle into a fascinating conversation. Spark some innovation. Delegate assignments and teach techniques. Share encouragement.

ers you. Rather than letting resentment build, you might find it helpful to let your girlfriend know how much you like being with her but that you’d like it if she initiated sex or touching with you, too.

Women are sometimes used to being “chased” or desired or feeling wanted but don’t always realize — especially as teenagers or young adults — how much men need and want to feel desired and wanted, too. You might think what it would mean to you if she touched you more and communicate that to her in your own words. For example, you might say, “I want to feel like you want me” or “When you initiate sex with me, it turns me on.”

You can learn more about sex and how to talk to your partner about it in “Great in Bed” or “The Guide to Getting It On.” 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.” Kinsey Confidential is a service of The Kinsey Institute.
