INDIANA DAILY STUDENT | IDSNEWS.COM

TO OUR READERS Thank you for being there.

You were there with us through tragedy when four students — three in a 15-day period — died. When a plane crash killed two passengers.

You were with us through times of celebration when IU held onto the Old Oaken Bucket. You were there with us when Indiana was required to license and recognize same-sex marriages. You were there with us as we reported through the midterm election season that yielded the smallest voter turnout in 24 years in Monroe County.

You were there to help our investigations team bring important questions to light about sexual assault at IU and as we searched for answers as to how IU deals with student deaths.

We don’t know what 2015 will bring, but we’re excited to stand by your side and embrace whatever is on the horizon. This is your newspaper, and we will strive to continue to bring you an innovative publication with the quality coverage you deserve. Here’s to you.

Sincerely,

Longtime Bloomington mayor reflects on career before leaving office in 2015

See moments from Kruzan’s tenure as mayor of Bloomington online at idsnews.com.

Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan likes to say he’s spent his entire life on Seventh Street.

He started in Teter Quad, where he lived as a college student, then went on to the Indiana Memorial Union, where he served as IU student body president. Next was City Hall, where he currently serves as the mayor of Bloomington.

Now, after nearly 30 years of public service in Indiana, including 12 years as mayor, he will not seek re-election in 2015.

“It’s not even a dream come true because it was never a dream,” Kruzan said. “I never imagined it.”

Kruzan came to IU from northwest Indiana in 1978.

While at IU, he worked for the Indiana Daily Student and became president of IU Student Association. He didn’t know what to do next, so he decided to stay at IU and go to law school.

After 16 years in the Indiana House of Representatives, Kruzan returned to run for mayor in 2003.

When Kruzan decided to run, people were confused.

Rebecca Kimberly Managing editor

Why would an Indiana state legislator want to take a “demotion” and run for mayor?

Former Indiana Speaker of the House John Gregg created Kruzan’s campaign motto when he responded to the public in a speech: “It’s because it’s Bloomington.”

* * * When Kruzan announced Nov. 18 that he would not be seeking re-election, the clock started ticking for him to accomplish some of his goals.

A man who said he had no political affiliation or political aspirations going into college, Kruzan got into politics because of “the issues,” he said. “You could make a difference.”

When he came into office, Kruzan wanted to redefine the term “economic development” so it did not just refer to groundbreaking ceremonies and ribbon cuttings.

IU overcomes slow start, foul trouble in win Women’s games during break Dec. 20 at Oakland Dec. 28 vs. Rutgers Dec. 31 vs. Michigan State Jan. 4 at Purdue Jan. 8 vs. Ohio State

It was not an ideal start for the Hoosiers.

The IU women’s basketball team accumulated 14 fouls and 10 turnovers in the first half alone.

Each starter had at least two fouls when they headed into the locker room.

So it was a series of lengthy scoring runs that led to IU (9-1) pulling away for a 82-56 victory at Milwaukee (3-6).

The score was 26-25 at the 4:37 mark before the Hoosiers ended the half on a 14-6 run. They then went on a 20-0 run during a six-minute span early in the second half.

“We got some momentum going into half time, which was really good,” IU Coach Teri Moren said.

The early foul troubles meant players such as sophomore guard Taylor Agler and sophomore forward Jenn Anderson, among others, had to come off the floor a little early. Agler played just 23 minutes

and Anderson only played 12, which was fewer than three bench players.

Having to turn to the bench was not an issue as Gassion and freshman guard Jess Walter once again had productive outings. Gassion

had 15 points and six rebounds, and Walter had 10 points and five assists.

Moren and IU Assistant Coach Todd Starkey said the Hoosiers had to change the way they played due to the offensive foul calls inside.

“We have to shoot more midrange jumpers,” Moren said. “We are not going to be effective getting to the basket because of the way the game was being played.”

As Milwaukee used some different defensive schemes against IU, everything else came together once the Hoosiers’ shots started falling.

“Any time we get going offensively, that helps us defensively get the stops we need to have,” Moren said.

There were stretches Sunday in which the Panthers were unable to create any offense. Milwaukee shot 39 percent from the field and made 4-of-20 from 3-point range. That SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 8

IU researchers closer to diabetes and obesity cure DiMarchi’s lab, in the release. “A number of metabolic control centers are influenced simultaneously, namely in the pancreas, liver, fat depots and brain.”

The researchers found body weight in rodents could be reduced by about 30 percent when constructing the new singlecell molecules with triplehormone action, according to the release. It’s about twice as much as the GLP1/GIP double hormone.

“This peptide represents the first rationally designed, fully potent and balanced triple agonist ever achieved in the treatment of any disease,” DiMarchi said in the release. “The benefits of the previously reported individual co-agonists have been integrated to a single molecule of triple action that provides unprecedented efficacy to lower body weight and control metabolism.”

The team described the new test results as “unparalleled” in the paper when compared to earlier tests using the three hormones separately and together as co-agonists, according to the release.

Human clinical trials are being managed by Roche, which also co-authored the new paper. IU Research and Technology Corp. licensed the inventions associated with the work to Marcadia Biotech Inc., according to the University.

Members of the IU Ballroom Dance Team Erik Kohn and Kristi Starling perform at the Yule Ball on Saturday in Alumni Hall. The event was hosted by Union Board in collaboration with the Harry Potter Society, IU Quidditch Team and the Student Cinema Guild.

Union Board hosts Yule Ball Candles appeared to float in the air Dec. 12 in Alumni Hall of the Indiana Memorial Union.

The illusion was featured as part of the setting for the Indiana Memorial Union Board’s second Yule Ball event, inspired by an event of the same name in J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” the fourth book in the series.

The night began with break dancing, ballroom dancing and ballet performances by various student groups.

Travis Stevens, an assistant director on Union Board who helped coordinate the event, said the performances helped reduce the awkwardness that often occurs at the beginning of dances.

The event this year also included the Harry Potter Society, the IU Cinema Guild and the Ballroom Dance Club. These organizations met weekly to coordinate various programming aspects and performances.

“The performances loosened people up and let them know a good time was ahead,”

Stevens said.

Molly Liss, who said she and two friends attended the event for the opportunity to dress up and because they love Harry Potter, said she appreciated the elements of the popular series infused into all aspects of the night.

“The ballet dancers were dressed up as girls from Beauxbatons,” she said.

In the world of Harry Potter, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic is a peer school to Hogwarts — known for its beautiful witches — that attends the Yule Ball at Hogwarts.

The witches of Beauxbatons were not the only characters in attendance.

Members of the IU Student Cinema Guild were asked by Union Board to attend the ball dressed as other popular Harry Potter characters.

A student in heavy robes and a white beard, dressed as Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, wandered through the dance floor and was frequently stopped by other students for pictures.

The Student Sustainability Council has voted to fund three projects throughout the next year, two involving the installation of solar panels on campus and one involving the campus rain garden initiative.

Money will come from the Sustainability Fund, which is made up of independent donations.

“I’m glad we started off

with three,” said junior Ellie Symes, financial director of the SSC. The SSC was able to fund all projects that were proposed this year, Symes said.

Symes said the most exciting project is a solar panel heating pilot.

The SSC is allocating $20,000 to fund the installation of solar panels that will heat the water of a residence hall.

Symes said the specific residence hall the panels are

“They’re going to put it on the dorm that’ll have the most impact,” Symes said.

The SSC plans to fully fund the greening of the light totem outside of IU Art Museum with approximately $5,000.

Symes said his highvisibility project will likely help the SSC in gaining awareness.

The project involves the

installation of a solar panel to power the light totem.

Symes said she hopes this project will be completed next semester.

She said if they can accomplish that, they’ll be able to get more and younger students interested in the SSC through student orientation and tabling.

IU-Bloomington researchers have essentially cured lab animals of obesity, diabetes and associated lipid abnormalities as a step toward curing the same in human adults.

IU researchers and the German Research Center for Environmental Health were the entities behind the preclinical trials, according to a University press release.

The new peptide, or the molecular integration of three gastrointestinal hormones, effectively lowered blood sugar levels, as well as reduced body fat beyond all existing drugs during preclinical trials, according to the work coled by IU Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Richard DiMarchi and Matthias Tschöp, director of the Institute for Diabetes and Obesity at the German Research Center for Environmental Health.

The results of the preclinical trial progressed the clinical work the same team announced last year that a peptide combining the properties of two endocrine hormones was an effective treatment for adultonset diabetes, according to the University.

“This triple hormone effect in a single molecule shows results never achieved before,” said co-first author Brian Finan, a scientist at the Helmholtz Diabetes Center who earned his Ph.D. in biochemistry at IU in

Students create garden signs

By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

Nine fine arts students are giving Hilltop Garden and Nature Center a facelift.

Through a fine arts seminar taught by Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts lecturer Jenny El-Shamy, nine fine arts students are designing 19 signs for the gardening hotbed.

Located near Tulip Tree Apartments, Hilltop Garden and Nature Center encompasses multiple gardens, greenhouses, classes and workshops, according to the IU Landscape Architecture website.

“Hilltop Garden is a diverse space, not just in the variety of plants grown but in the variety of activities that take place there,” said Michelle Winchell, a third-year graduate student pursuing a master of fine arts degree, in an email. “Activities range from academic research to fine arts practice to community workshops.”

However, no signs currently depict which activity is which.

Split in two teams, the nine students were given the relevant information and then tasked with designing the signs that included all relevant information, Winchell said.

“It was important to us to reflect the range of activities in

the way that we approached the work, to provide information that was accessible enough to appeal to children but substantial enough to accurately represent some of the more complex processes,” she said.

Initially, the two teams focused on the physical attributes of the signs, such as width, height, structure and placement, Winchell said.

After three rounds of presentations with Lea

Woodard, Hilltop Garden and Nature Center coordinator, and Mia Williams, university landscape architect, the two teams are now focusing on the information graphics on the signs, Winchell said. Several students will continue this focus during the spring semester.

“We researched environmental graphic standards to make sure we were addressing legibility and access concerns like appropriate text size

for specific viewing distances,” she said.

Winchell said that to create successful work, an artist or designer must be driven by such curiosity.

“Visual communication often requires you to portray complex ideas with a minimal amount of information,” she said. “To do that with any sort of clarity or integrity, you have to cultivate a depth of understanding of the subject matter.”

Library science named most prolific From IDS reports

IU received the top ranking in ScienceWatch’s list of most prolific United States institutions in Information Science and Library Science for the years 2009-13.

The ranking is made up of both colleges and universities that contributed the highest numbers of papers to the Web of Science Field of Information Science and Library Science, according to a School of Informatics and Computing

press release.

ScienceWatch is an “open Web resource for science metrics and research performance analysis,” according to ScienceWatch’s website. It began in 1989.

The list IU tops is based on the percentage of the 16,205 papers each university published in Thomson Reutersindexed Information Science journal from 2009 to 2013, according to the release.

“We are proud to be a part of the Indiana University com-

munity, where research in our field is so valued,” said Dr. Pnina Fichman, chairperson of the Department of Information and Library Science, in the release. “My colleagues both within our department and school, and throughout the campus, who publish in this discipline help provide an environment that leads to creative research and teaching.

The ranking and the effort by the scholars at Indiana University are not an anomaly.

This is a good place to be.”

This is not the first time IU’s ILS department has been honored as a productive school. Studies from 2000 and 2006 that covered more than two decades of data also ranked IU first in the country in looking at scholarly productivity, according to the release.

According to a ranking by U.S. News and World Report, ILS is ranked eighth in the nation.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 rain gardens are the only student-proposed project.

The other two were proposed by staff, Symes said.

“We did about a third of the funding, which, again, was about $4,000 to the rain initiative,” she said.

The proposal involves the installation of a rain garden behind the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

Symes said she’s working with the SSC to determine how the rest of the funds might come about and said she might reach out to SPEA and private donors.

The process began with a proposal review meeting after break, Symes said.

Seven SSC general assembly member organizations were able to vote in the process.

These were the organizations that had attended at least three GA meetings throughout the semester.

Symes said they wanted to honor active participation in the SSC. Some organizations brought more than one member, and some nonmember students attended out of interest.

These students were still involved in the conversation, although only the seven votes would be counted,

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 professor Severus Snape, spoke with a British accent to students who stopped him.

Student Cinema Guild officer Alex Gaby, also a theater and drama minor, said he loved attending the ball dressed as Snape.

“Snape is definitely my favorite character,” Gaby said. “He has the most complexity of all of them, I think.”

Gaby said he enjoyed having other attendees ask to take pictures with him and the chance to act as Snape would.

“Everyone kind of looks at you, and you can be sarcastic and cold with people, because that’s how Snape is,”

Symes said.

The council first voted on whether or not it would spend all of the money in the Sustainability Fund, which it opted to do.

“We’ve been sitting on this money for five years,” Symes said.

Then, the council voted on whether it would fund all three projects or just two.

The council elected to fund all three ideas proposed to them and went on to decide how to allocate money to each.

“They were all three very solid ideas that could be done,” she said.

When the projects can be completed will be largely dependent upon the University architects, Symes said.

Before beginning the projects, the SSC has to propose each project to the architects.

Then, the projects’ timelines are largely contingent upon when the architects get back to the council and when they read over the proposals, Symes said.

Symes said she hopes these large-scale projects can help grow the SSC and bring in both more donations and more involvement.

“It’s been a good semester,” she said. “I’m really happy about the way the SSC’s grown.” he said, adding that the British accent he spoke in was fake.

Adam Fialkowski, Union Board’s director of late-night programming, said he hopes to incorporate even more magic into next year’s Yule Ball.

“I’m thinking we should have a couple more sporadic performances during the night,” he said. “We didn’t really announce what was happening at the beginning this year either, but next year I think we’re going to be a little bit more creative.”

Gaby said he would likely be down for more dancing.

“Snape probably wouldn’t dance, but screw it, I did it anyways,” he said. “It was really fun.”

Bloomington South science teacher Amanda Figolah speaks with the Students Advocating for a Green Earth club about upcoming projects Tuesday, Dec. 9.

Students ‘step’ into science

By Tori Fater vrfater@indiana.edu | @vrfater

Students at Bloomington High School South will soon be able to create renewable energy just by walking to class.

Due to the work of South’s Environmental Club, the school will install new technology in its main hallway that promises to harness kinetic energy from footsteps into an alternate source of electricity.

The technology, created by a London-based company called PaveGen, comes in the form of specially-made floor tiles that produce power when compressed by footsteps.

“They are completely in their infancy, but they are getting a lot of attention,” said Amanda Figolah, whose AP environmental science classes at South raised more than $20,000 for, and organized, the installation.

Eight PaveGen tiles, set to arrive in January, will be installed in the corridor by South’s main entrance and library. Students can produce power by stepping on a tile.

Energy from the tiles won’t feed into the school’s main electrical grid, Figolah said, but will light up two interactive education display screens and power a phone charger. Students can see on another display screen how much power they generate with each footstep.

The idea for the installation came last year, when students in Figolah’s AP en-

vironmental science class gave presentations on renewable energy sources.

Student Emily Moon’s excitement about her research on PaveGen was infectious.

Classmate Arielle Moir, now an IU freshman, said Moon suggested installing the technology at Bloomington South after hearing stories of other students raising funds to place PaveGen tiles in their own schools.

“The school administration was very supportive of our plan,” Moir said. “We contacted the PaveGen company, based in England, to discuss the finer details of cost, management and placement of the tiles.”

The class had done other student-run projects in the past, Figolah said, like an event where they sold reusable water bottles to cut down on water bottle waste.

“They had an amazing chemistry,” Figolah said.

“That’s how things happened ... it was completely student-generated.”

Five environmental science students decided to make a PaveGen installation their senior capstone project, Figolah said. Thenseniors Moon, Moir, Imogen Todd, Maira Brondizio and Olivia Pfingston wrote a grant proposal that brought in $23,000 for the project from Duke Energy and a private foundation.

“We are very fortunate to have had the opportunity to be involved with people who are enthusiastic to work with and support student-led initiatives,” Moir said.

Concept art shows what the PaveGen panels will look like once placed in the halls at Bloomington High School South. Students’ footsteps will create kinetic energy which will be used to power a phone charging station and computer screens.

This year’s class will develop an outreach program to teach people what PaveGen can do, Figolah said. In addition, it may be a tool for teaching younger students the scientific method. Environmental science students will walk them through making a hypothesis about how much energy one footstep can generate, then collecting data and making conclusions about their observations.

“We’re hoping to bring in as many kids as we can from all kinds of levels,” Figolah said.

Moir said she’s always been interested in alternative energy, having lived in a neighborhood that incorporated solar energy

sources. She said she hopes students learn more about alternative energy from the PaveGen installation.

“There are other cost-efficient, sustainable and innovative sources of energy that can be utilized in the production of electricity, as opposed to fossil fuels,” Moir said.

Figolah said she thinks the students in her class and the South Environmental Club were inspired by what they were able to accomplish with the PaveGen project.

“Their takeaway was, ‘I didn’t know we could do this kind of thing,’” Figolah said. “‘I didn’t know we could make this kind of change.’”

Santa Claus was in town the weekend of Dec. 12 at the Monroe County Fairgrounds, a treat from the Monroe County 4-H Beef Club.

The Beef Club organized the holiday-themed event to raise funds for scholarships and an end-of-the-year trip.

A nonprofit organization, 4-H is the nation’s largest youth development group and has more than 6 million youth members across the country, according to the national 4-H organization website.

The Monroe County 4-H chapter works in conjunction with Purdue University and offers 11 different animal clubs, including horse and pony, poultry, dairy cattle and rabbit clubs.

Members may also complete non-animal related projects, such as foods, photography or cake decorating.

The Beef Club works with raising beef cattle, such as cows, heifers and steers, and displays them at local fairs and county shows while also educating the local community about cattle.

Throughout the year, the club hosts meetings to stay in ordinance with other 4-H clubs and puts on events such as family fun nights.

Saturday, the club arranged its first fundraising project of the year in the Draper Earles Auditorium at the Monroe County Fairgrounds.

Nineteen local vendors sold items including jewelry, handbags and baked goods, while children had the opportunity to sit on Santa Claus’ lap and take a picture.

Larry Conder, who prefers to go by “Santa,” was the man behind the beard at Saturday’s event.

Conder had been a longtime favorite among the community as the Santa at Fountain Square Mall in downtown Bloomington until his retirement two years ago.

Conder also has family associated with the Beef Club from other 4-H chapters that goes back five generations.

“The Monroe County club dates back to 1961

“The Monroe County Beef Club dates back to 1961 when the first beef barn was built by Ralph Rogers. There’s many members with long lines of generations.”

when the first beef barn was built by Ralph Rogers,” Conder said. “There’s many members with long lines of generations.”

The money collected from the event will go toward a fund the club is putting together for a trip at the end of this year.

“We’re not sure yet where we want to go yet, but we have a few places in mind,” said club president Chance Wimmer.

“We’ve been thinking maybe the sand dunes.”

In order for members to be eligible for the trip, the club implements a point system that measures each person’s participation in club-related events.

Although the club has organized family-related events in the past, they hope to begin doing service work and become more active in the volunteering community throughout the upcoming year.

“Volunteering with a place like Hoosier Hills Food Bank is something we’ve thought about doing,” club secretary Colton Deckard said.

“We really just want to get the club involved in doing more service work.”

Deckard also said the club has plans to do volunteer work to assist older 4-H members in the community, such as doing yard work and fixing fences.

With a favorable turnout at this year’s first event, Deckard said the club plans on making the fundraiser an annual occurrence.

“These hard-working young people are doing a fantastic job,” Conder said.

“Santa appreciates all of them because I have to bring my reindeer down here with me, and since they take care of cattle, they’re also caring for my reindeer while I’m in here talking with children.”

Miss South Africa crowned Miss World

OPINION

EDITORS: LEXIA BANKS & EMMA WENNINGER | OPINION@IDSNEWS.COM

MICHAEL’S MARGIN

The Miss World pageant crowned Miss South Africa Rolene Strauss as Miss World.

She beat out 121 other contestants.

Strauss was a four-year medical student at University of the Free State, according to CNN.

When she was named Miss South Africa in March, she quit her studies and has since supported projects concerning women’s rights, health and education.

It’s all in a day’s work.

IDS EDITORIAL BOARD

AN EMMA DILEMMA

Work without meaning

Surprise, Moses wasn’t white

MICHAEL HOMAN is a senior in journalism.

A year-old article written by anthropology professor David Graeber in Strike!

Magazine stirred some controversy when Graeber began questioning the need for jobs that have been created within the last half century.

Of course, Graeber calls himself out, asking from the readers’ perspective: who are you to say which jobs matter and which don’t? He expresses that social value might never truly have objective measure.

However, Graeber makes several good points in his article that I would like to share with you as nothing more than food for thought.

It is emphasized to us from an early age that education is tantamount to receiving a well-paying career. We are taught that with a sturdy education our chances of financial success increase dramatically.

And financial success is considered so important because our country’s standard of comfortable living is quite high compared to that of other areas around the globe. But Graeber’s issue isn’t with meaningless or dead-end jobs but with the insistence that those jobs matter and whether the mental wear that such a job may impose is justifiable.

Graeber cites a prediction made by John Maynard Keynes in 1930, who said by century’s end, technology will have advanced to the point of automating away most known jobs of the day and that we would comfortably reach 15-hour workweeks. We all know this has largely come true, and that in the wake of such automation, entirely new career tracks have been developed, such as corporate law, financial services, human resources and more.

Graeber notes the irony of a capitalistic state shelling out money to keep those employed whom they don’t really need — the opposite of what is supposed to happen in a functioning capitalist marketplace.

You may have already experienced this phenomenon yourself. You may work 40-hour workweeks on paper but really only get roughly 25 or 30 hours of real work done because that’s all that was required of you.

If having a job by virtue entitles one to dignity or honor, where does honor play a role in the life of someone who truly believes their job is utterly meaningless? The mental and spiritual fatigue of such a position cannot be overstated.

Graeber ponders the question. He wonders what can be said of our society that generates, for example, such a limited demand for talented poet-musicians but apparent infinite demand for specialists in corporate law.

The way Graeber sees it, real, productive workers are relentlessly exploited — teachers, auto-workers — while the remainder are divided between the universally condemned unemployed and those who sit in positions designed to make them identify with the sensibilities of the well-off.

Money and material wealth are the indicators of success in our country — not honest and motivated labor, not peace of mind but the size of your pool.

Consider what it is you’re willing to give up to get what you want in this life.

And I’m not referring to time or money. michoman@indiana.edu

Giving it a shot WE SAY: Ebola vaccine is a good thing A vaccine to combat the Ebola virus might just be on the horizon.

Researchers have been working to swiftly create a vaccine in only a matter of months to prevent further infections from the deadly virus, a process that normally takes years.

Recently, trials have been stopped due to complaints of joint pain, but the Indiana Daily Student Editorial Board believes the vaccine is promising.

Trials were run in Maryland by researchers from the National Institutes of Health, involving 20 healthy adults, according to a report from CBS News.

The volunteers, ages ranging from 18 to 50, were split into two groups: one group received a low-dose injection, and the second received a higher dose of the vaccine.

After four weeks, all 20 volunteers developed anti-Ebola antibodies, with higher levels found in those who were administered the higher dose.

No serious side effects occurred, though two people who received the higher dosage developed a brief fever the day after

vaccination.

The vaccine itself does not contain the Ebola virus. Therefore, it cannot cause a person to be infected with Ebola, so everyone can remain calm.

However, let us not overlook the detrimental impact this disease had in West Africa.

Since its widespread outbreak earlier this year, Ebola has caused more than 6,000 deaths.

Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone are the most affected countries, with 11,256 cases and 6,373 deaths recorded among them, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

While news coverage of the outbreak has been quite extensive and overwhelming at times, it has noticeably slowed down.

With no recent cases in the United States, it has once again become a distant, faraway problem.

The IDS Editorial Board believes that the initial success of the trial will minimize people’s fear of the disease and will create hope that protection is on its way.

We applaud the serious efforts of the scientists and researchers working to produce a vaccine. Still,

it is imperative that we remain careful with testing and consider its overall safety.

An Ebola vaccine has the potential to protect the lives of thousands.

It could be administered to the health care workers, doctors, nurses and aid workers who are bravely risking their lives in West Africa to treat those already infected with the virus.

While the excessive panic and fear of Ebola seen in the United States over the past number of months has subsided, illness and death from the disease is still an unfortunate reality in West Africa.

The 2014 Ebola epidemic is the largest in history, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Ebola is not a very contagious disease in that it requires direct contact to go from one person to another, but it is very infectious, because only a few viral particles are needed to produce disease.

Even though the U.S. has no current cases, the likelihood exists that we will see more cases in the future. Ebola deserves our attention but not our fear.

BANK ON IT

‘Serial’ podcast is a feat of audio production Television broadcast has an older sister people tend to forget, the radio.

Radio also has different branches: commercial and public.

Commercial is likely what you listen to while driving in your car.

Public is the National Public Radio stuff you probably wrinkle your nose at while perusing the radio stations.

I was one of those people.

Before college, I only vaguely knew of NPR’s existence.

I had never even heard of “This American Life” or “Radiolab.” The name Ira Glass meant nothing to me.

Now, Ira Glass is my hero, and NPR pretty much owns me.

Not like “Morning Edition” NPR — I don’t do the hard stuff — but the podcasts I mentioned above.

“This American Life,” “Radiolab,” “Snap Judgement” and “Pop Culture Happy

Hour” are the sounds of my college career. They are my Taylor Swift while walking to class, my Bon Iver before I go to sleep.

Recently, I abandoned my regular podcasts to listen to a new one: “Serial.”

For those who don’t know, “Serial” is a product of “This American Life” and WBEZ Chicago, created by “This American Life” Producer and award-winning reporter Sarah Koenig.

Through “Serial,” Koenig delves into the case of Adnan Syed, a high school student convicted for the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, in Baltimore in 1999.

Koenig came across the case when a woman sent her an email about Syed and asked her to look into it. Koenig spent the next year investigating Lee’s murder, looking into every aspect of the case, and talking to — or at least trying to talk to — all of the people somehow involved.

What she came up with was a 12-part series of podcasts focusing on different parts of the investigation.

And it’s brilliant.

“Serial” doesn’t feel like a podcast while you’re listening to it. It’s a lot like listening to a crime drama, like a special “Law and Order” just for your ears.

People like to treat it that way. Slate has a series of podcasts about the podcasts, where it breaks down the information given in each episode. “Pop Culture Happy Hour” once did a podcast about the Slate podcasts about the podcast.

The appropriation of “Serial” doesn’t stop there.

Kyle Scheele, a motivational speaker, created a parody of “Serial” called “Cereal,” in which he tells the story of a missing bowl of Fruity Pebbles.

There is a Buzzfeed quiz to find out which pronunciation of the MailChimp ad,

LEXIA BANKS is a junior in journalism.

which kicks off each episode of “Serial,” you are.

There are “Serial” addicts, who chew their nails and whine between episodes as if they’re waiting for their favorite TV show to return. It’s a behavior I’ve never seen in regard to a podcast.

“Serial” is a prime example of what great storytelling and quality journalism can create when combined.

“Serial” has opened the door for podcasts into mainstream media and has brought a new audience to public radio. It’s proving that public radio isn’t boring or for old people. It has something to offer to everyone as long as you’re willing to listen. lnbanks@indiana.edu

Ridley Scott’s new movie, “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” has a lot of people asking the question, “Why is everyone so white?”

The movie stars are Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton. Much of the main cast are white actors.

Shockingly, ancient Egyptians, what with living in northern Africa and all, were not white.

But Hollywood has a history of whitewashing characters in big box office productions in order to draw more crowds, and Christian Bale as Moses seemed like a good idea.

But a white man playing an African prince of Hebrew descent was not a popular decision. The movie drew in $24.5 million on its opening weekend, but overall numbers have been low.

Now the hashtag #boycottexodusmovie is trending to express frustration at the common casting of white actors in roles more suited to minority actors.

Whitewashing is common throughout the history of Hollywood film.

The last major Exodus story, “The Ten Commandments,” was produced in 1956 and starred an allwhite cast. Chalk that up to casual racism.

But now it’s 2014, and we can see people of color onscreen without rioting.

The criticism of the movie was only exacerbated when Scott spoke on his choice of cast, saying, “I can’t mount a film of this budget, where I have to rely on tax rebates in Spain, and say that my lead actor is Mohammad so-and-so from such-and-such. I’m just not going to get it financed. So the question doesn’t even come up,” according to a report from the Guradian.

Interestingly, the movie does not shy away from race. Many of the MiddleEastern and black actors are cast as slaves or set pieces. It seems a poor excuse to say you cannot cast a black man in a starring role, but you can cast him as a slave.

I would love to write a column about all the things in that quote and about the movie that are offensive and wrong, but I think Scott’s admittance of bias against people of color points more deeply to a serious issue with representation on American and European screens.

Whitewashing is often more subtle than Scott’s blatant attempt at turning ancient Egypt into a mayonnaise and cheese sandwich.

In the insanely popular “Hunger Games” trilogy, Katniss Everdeen, the heroine, is described as oliveskinned and dark-haired, with implications that she is biracial. The only thing the movie reportedly did to compensate was give Jennifer Lawrence a tan.

The only African-American characters were Rue and Thresh, and they were only African-American because the book said it explicitly.

Hollywood does not want to cast people of color.

Given the history of race in America and the draw famous white actors can pull, this used to make sense, but it doesn’t anymore.

We are a nation that contains Mohammad so-andso’s. We need to see them onscreen. ewenning@indiana.edu

Moren said sophomore guard Larryn Brooks did a good job of finding the open person.

Brooks finished just shy of the double-double with a team-leading 16 points and nine assists.

There were plenty of broken plays with deflections and ugly rebounds, but the Hoosiers took advantage of those opportunities. IU outrebounded its opponents 38-27, and it had 15 points

Kruzan saw success in projects such as the $44 miloff turnovers compared to the Panthers’ 10. IU had 17 fast-break points to Milwaukee’s two.

“Even though there were moments where it seemed things were not going our way, I think we found a way to win the game tonight just by defending and rebounding,” Moren said.

Bowman’s friend Adria Nassim has high-functioning autism and speaks publicly about her diagnosis. Nassim, a former Indiana Daily Student reporter, has visited

the AXiD house to speak and give the members new perspective on the disease.

“It was really cool to have someone who has autism come in. The girls could see a different perspective of it,” Bowman said. “I think it is a lot closer to everyone’s heart now. I think when you get touched by someone like that, it makes you think different, and so she’s made a really big impact on a lot of the girls.”

Indianapolis native Brian Stapleton, 50, awaits ticket buyers on Indiana Avenue before IU's Homecoming football game against Michigan State. Stapleton, known more by his alias, Jeffrey, has been scalping tickets for 18 years, and often ventures to Bloomington in hopes of making a profit, even though ticket sales for IU football are the worst in the Big Ten. The ticket scalper on the street corner is a dying breed, as online sites such as Stubhub and Ticketmaster are making scalping obsolete.

‘Sold, not told’ Scalping tickets for IU football has never been easy. Now, it’s even harder.

By Evan Hoopfer ehoopfer@indiana.edu | @EvanHoopfer

On a misty Saturday morning, the scalper stands at his corner, the stadium looming behind him. He’s right at the edge. The cops are watching, and if he walks a few feet north and crosses into IU property, he’s in danger of getting arrested.

“Tickets?” Jeffrey calls out to the masses shuffling his way. “You need tickets?”

He can see the hope in the fans’ eyes. It’s late August, and IU is playing its first game of the football season against Indiana State. Maybe this year will be different, the fans are telling themselves. Maybe the team will have its first winning record in the Big Ten since 1993. A good chunk of the players on this year’s squad weren’t even born then. Maybe IU will make it to a bowl. Any bowl.

Jeffrey is counting on their earlyseason optimism. As long as they still believe, his profits go up.

He sees a potential customer and holds up a pair of tickets. He can tell when someone wants to deal. There’s a certain walk. A look of purpose in their eyes. Jeffrey thinks the man walking toward him has that look.

“You need tickets, big guy?” Jeffrey asks. He talks fast and his voice is rough, because he’s been yelling his sales pitch for almost two decades.

“No,” the man says. “I’m fine.”

“Fifty-yard line, 50-yard line big man,” Jeffrey says. “Put her in the front!”

The man is alone. The rhetorical woman is just part of Jeffrey’s pitch.

The guy walks past, avoiding eye contact. Jeffrey doesn’t take it personally.

“You’ll get 15,000 no’s before you hear a yes,” he says. “You can’t be sensitive in this business.”

He needs to make some money off today’s game. He has an ex-wife, five kids, bills to pay. So he tries one last time before the man disappears.

“Put her in the front, home opener,” Jeffrey yells at the guy’s back. The man doesn’t even glance over his shoulder.

Nothing. * * * Scalping tickets at IU football games has never been easy. Demand is always low to see a team that has been so bad for so long it has become a punch line. But now, scalping outside of Memorial Stadium is harder than ever.

"Dirty" gets his name for being loud, obnoxious and flirtatious with the women he encounters while trying to conduct business. "Want to know my real name? Dirty as they come," he said, laughing heavily.

In recent years, online ticket sites such as StubHub have sliced into the profits of the guy on the street corner.

Ever since StubHub became a household name, street scalpers have found it more difficult to scrounge out a living, especially during IU’s football season. They’re not allowed on University grounds. Most scalpers hang out on the south side of 17th Street, just across from the stadium’s parking lots, where Indiana Avenue comes to a T. The area is alive with activity before opening kickoff. The smell of barbecue chicken fills the air. From the tailgate fields, Lil Jon pounds from the speakers, singing “Shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots.”

Across the street at the stadium, the Marching 100 plays the IU fight song.

The scalpers prowl the sidewalks, trying to drown out their competition with calls of “Tickets? Tickets?

Anybody need tickets?” They wander in and out of traffic, leaning into open car windows. They eye the scantily dressed co-eds on their way to tailgate parties. When they spy an interested customer, the scalpers pounce, sometimes several at once.

They elbow their competitors, fighting for the chance to negotiate.

Jeffrey’s favorite spot is the south-

west corner of Indiana and 17th. He patrols his turf with a confidence gained after 18 years of scalping sporting events and concerts around the country. He moves with the swiftness of a younger man. His booming voice rises above the competition with a precisely honed cadence.

“You guys need tickets? No? OK, you fellas have a nice day.”

His name is actually Brian Stapleton. He adopted the name Jeffrey years ago. His mentor knew him as Jeffrey, so everyone knew him as Jeffrey. It stuck.

“Tickets? Who needs tickets?”

The scalpers show no hesitation.

This is their trading floor. One of the

perennial figures calls himself Dirty.

He insists he’s 53 but looks much younger. He usually wears sunglasses, even on rainy days like today.

Dirty never gives up his real name.

“Want to know my real name?” he cackles. “Dirty as they come.”

Dirty is constantly moving, usually riding around on his bike. His pitch is one of the loudest.

“You got any tickets?” Dirty says to a woman wearing tight jeans.

“No,” she says. As she walks away, he checks her out.

“You got a man?” he says, only partly under his breath.

Hoosiers dominate Grand Canyon, 94-66

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

IU Coach Tom Crean couldn’t believe it.

Just four days prior to IU’s 94-66 win against Grand Canyon University on Saturday, the Hoosiers had committed 19 turnovers against Louisville in a 20-point drubbing.

Against the Antelopes, IU had four — the fewest in Crean’s seven-year tenure at IU. “Crazy isn’t it?” Crean said. “That’s beyond belief.

We’re going to have to go back through the tape and see if that’s actually accurate. Because man, I’ve never coached a team that had that few.”

There’s no secret about it.

Turnovers and a lack of rebounding have been weaknesses for IU this season.

Saturday, they became strengths.

IU (8-2) had zero turnovers in the second half and finished with a 5.7 turnover percentage and outrebounded Grand Canyon (4-6) 52-35.

Sophomore forward Troy Williams led IU with eight boards while junior forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea and junior guard Nick Zeisloft added seven apiece.

Williams insisted that it was about time he and Mosquera-Perea, the tallest players on the team, led IU in rebounding after guards have mostly dominated that area of the stat sheet in recent games.

We’ve got to use that athleticism and quickness to get more rebounds.”

Uncharacteristically poor shooting and an inability to get the ball into the paint limited the Hoosier offense in the first half, but they still managed to enter halftime with a 42-31 lead.

In the second half, the offense came alive.

Freshman guard James Blackmon Jr. shifted from a bit of a shooting slump to score seven of IU’s first 10 points to start the second period.

He finished with a teamhigh 18 points and said it took a few easy shots to get him going again.

“I feel like I got an easy one to go,” Blackmon said.

“After I get the ball to go in, the rim gets bigger and bigger for me. My teammates set me up on a couple easy backdoors, so they kind of got me going.”

stretch, IU went on a 15-7 run without him. An 11-point halftime lead ballooned to a 27-point blowout even in his absence.

Crean credited the more efficient offense due to a dedication of getting the ball into the paint. He said the ball got into the painted area on 37 of

43 possessions.

“They came out in the second half and just attacked us,” Grand Canyon Coach Dan Majerle said. “We didn’t guard at all. Once they got it rolling, it was hard to stop them.”

IU forward seeing the floor better, limiting turnovers

By Alden Woods aldwoods@indiana.edu | @acw9293

Troy Williams says he can see the whole court now — even an extra two feet of it.

“Definitely since I’ve been working out over the summer into now, I can see more,” he said. “I don’t have just the tunnel vision to the rim. I can see the whole court, all 96 feet.”

A basketball court is 94-feet long, but the point stands.

The self-described “turnover machine” of a season ago has appeared less and less frequently this year, replaced by a more mature version of the sophomore forward.

The new Williams was on full display Saturday evening when he put on his best per-

formance of the season. The sophomore scored 14 points and picked up a team-high eight rebounds.

Most importantly, he didn’t commit a turnover in 21 minutes.

“It feels good not to have no turnovers, not be a turnover machine,” he said.

Williams entered Saturday averaging 1.9 turnovers per game, a touch above his rate from last season. He had just turned the ball over three times in 24 minutes against Louisville.

He put that behind him against Grand Canyon.

“Troy Williams, to play a game like that when he’s being aggressive and to not have a turnover, strong, really responded from the other day,” IU Coach Tom Crean said.

From the Hoosiers’ first possession, a different Troy Williams was apparent. After IU won the tip, Williams received a pass at the top of the key and beat his man, finishing with an easy layup.

Seeing Williams get to the rim and finish was nothing new. The difference was the way he did it. He stayed on balance and didn’t end up on the floor, as he does so often.

“When Troy gets a layup to start the game, totally under control, that’s what we need from him,” Crean said.

He also showed a greater willingness to kick out from the paint rather than try and finish through multiple defenders.

Crean said watching Williams get into the lane and make a pass was like “watch-

ing Peyton Manning or Brett Favre zinging it.”

Williams’ eight rebounds placed him in a tie with junior guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell as IU’s leading rebounder. As a 6-foot-7 forward, he’s often fighting for position against bigger, more physical opponents.

No problem, he said. Williams and junior forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea have figured out how to use their agility to pick up loose rebounds.

“We’ve got the most athleticism on the team to get those rebounds,” Williams said. “We are quicker than most big men are, so we’ve just got to use our athleticism and quickness to get more rebounds.”

Now, the task for Williams is to make the changes stick.

MEN’S BASKETBALL (8-2) vs. Grand Canyon (4-6) W, 94-66

It’s one thing to play this way against Grand Canyon. To do it against a Big Ten competition is another job entirely.

“Will it be consistent?”

Crean said. “It has to grow to be consistent, but if you see today, you know it’s there, and you know he has a chance to continue that way.”

Crean thinks Williams has a chance to be special, and he knows about turning hyper-athletic, turnoverprone wings into elite players. Former IU guard Victor Oladipo was the same way.

Through 40 career games, Oladipo averaged 8.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 turnovers and an assist per game.

Williams just finished his 40th career game. His career averages stand at 8.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.8 turnovers

and just over an assist per game.

Like a young Oladipo, he has found limited success with his jump shot, relying on athleticism to get to the rim and finish.

Oladipo turned into a National Player of the Year and the No. 2 selection in the NBA Draft. It’s unclear if Williams’ ceiling is that high, but Crean sees further promise in him.

“A little bit sometimes with Troy, you’ve got to take the real fast Troy with the ‘I can still get it done at a fast pace without being blazing fast’ Troy,” Crean said.

“When he understands that, he’s going to be really good.”

Artisans sell holiday presents

By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP

Last-minute holiday shopping and local artisans came together Sunday for a late-season gift fair.

Talia Halliday, owner of Gather Here, a local handmade wares shop, said she hosted the fair in hopes that it would provide people a chance to catch up to the fastmoving holiday season.

“I think that the holiday season has happened quickly for a lot people,” she said. “I wanted to give another opportunity to sell late in the year.”

The fair took place from noon to 6 p.m Dec. 14. The event featured 21 vendors.

Most of them came from

Bloomington, and half were already sellers with the store.

The other half were new to the Gather Here family, Halliday said.

Of the vendors involved in the fair, Halliday said Bearmojo was the constant top seller within the store.

“They have been with us almost since the beginning,” Halliday said.

Bearmojo is owned by Andrea Bear and Todd Handlogten. They sell furry, monster-themed novelties.

They described Bearmojo’s products as something that blurred the line between functional and fun. Their store started off as a company that focused on furry and eyeball-emblazoned wallets, then quickly grew into

products that ranged from monster wallets to monster-themed toys and dolls, tote bags and Christmas ornaments.

Though the fun-fur products attracted nearly every child that passed by their stand, Handlogten said Bearmojo produces for an older age group.

“We make things that we would want to buy,” he said.

Each item has a name, whether it be their “Meeple” line (monster-people) or Squidlings, a squid-inspired series of stuffed monsters.

Additionally, a lot of what they sell also has a back story. For example, Handlogten pointed to a set of flannel stuffed dolls. They were in the shape of a gingerbread

man cut out but decorated to look like a multi-colored ninja. The thing that makes them special? They are chubby.

“Our chubby ninjas,” Handlogten said with a laugh. “They are off their games.”

He added that the reason they became chubby was that our society today no longer needs the ninja but instead goes to lawyers when people have problems.

Essentially, Handlogten said if a product idea makes them laugh or smile, it’s a done deal.

“We just bounce ideas off each other,” he said about the creation process. “It connects us with the inner child in everyone.”

A WALK DOWN SAXE FIFTH AVENUE

A final note: Finding your fashion identity As dead week hit us all pretty hard, I pondered all week what my final column would address. Shopping guide, what to wear for holiday parties, winter’s most talked about designers?

While these are all viable options, I would like to end the way I started. I began the semester with a column about confidence being the real success to one’s wardrobe.

This week, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was all over the media, and even if you didn’t see it, I’m sure you were aware of it. Constant jokes were made via social media about never attaining the look of a Victoria’s Secret model or the agony people experience watching the models strut perfectly down the runway in their lacy lingerie while admiring them from afar through the television screen.

During a chat with my roommates one evening a

few days after the show was aired, one of them articulated what I had been thinking all along.

Girls shouldn’t feel bad that they don’t look like a Victoria’s Secret model. Who does? But they can enjoy it and take into account that that’s the models’ job and they probably work hard at staying in shape. She explained that people need to meet in the middle on this.

We shouldn’t shame the models for being thin, and we shouldn’t shame ourselves.

While I was home for Thanksgiving, I saw someone complain online about how the fashion industry doesn’t want plus-size women to wear sparkly dresses. At which point I wanted to link her to several clothing companies that offer beautifully made, plus-size sequined dresses.

The fashion industry tends to cater to tall and thin — I will agree with that. But a

comment like that is similar to me saying that the fashion industry doesn’t want me wearing jeans. Jeans are typically too long on me, and I often have to have them hemmed. With fast fashion more popular than ever, items are mass-produced and, unfortunately, large clothing manufacturers focus even less on a wide range of body types. So it’s about how you approach the situation and learning how to dress your body type. And every body type is beautiful.

So what’s the point of rambling about Victoria’s Secret models and plus-size dresses?

I am well aware that many people are happy and confident in their own skin, but my goal was to connect with everybody at some level.

Whether it was embracing natural beauty, finding alternative, flattering ways to approach the fashions of the season or asking you to

reflect on why it is we wear what we do, I hope I brought a new light to the way you think and approach fashion and self-image.

First and foremost, fashion should reflect you and make you feel like the individual you are. It’s not always about the latest runway designs but more so finding what it is that makes you feel good on the outside and, in turn, the inside.

And because I’m a sucker for a good quote, I’ll leave you with this mantra for the new year from Gianni Versace.

“That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.” lsaxe@indiana.edu

Professor Alfredo Minetti grew up with tango music.

It was the music that constantly played on the record players in Uruguay and Argentina where he was raised.

Now, as both a musician and anthropologist, Minetti is traveling in China and touring with a creative group called This is Tango Now. Composed of six dancers, four musicians and a light designer, the group is now performing stage tango shows in about 30 different cities in China.

They all convened in Boston for their final practice and traveled to China on Dec. 7.

But their show isn’t the typical tango performance, Minetti said.

The group focuses on presenting a narrative and performs what Minetti calls tango theater.

“As an anthropologist, I am interested in narratives with some kind of social relevance,” Minetti said. “We want to entertain but want to deal with a particular issue, a particular message.”

That commitment to a narrative is what drew Chinese agents to book the group in various venues around the country.

After traveling extensively within the United States, China is the group’s first stop abroad.

“I really hope the Chinese audience will understand the power of tango in terms of being a great platform to tell stories, to entertain but really to make people think,” Minetti said.

Although the group wants to provide entertainment, they also want to provide something with content that people can take something from, he added.

Tango itself is something people can learn from. It’s a global phenomenon that grabs people’s attention, Minetti said.

Tango began in Argentina and Uruguay around the 1890s from a large group of immigrants.

The dance and music quickly spread to Europe and is now performed and danced worldwide.

“You have to wonder what it is about tango that creates that kind of passion,” Minetti said. “I think it’s a really complex answer, and there’s not one single answer that accounts for tango around the world.”

In Bloomington alone, there are multiple tango groups, the largest of which is the Bloomington Argentine Tango Organization.

The group was founded in 2006 by Amaury de

Sigueira, who moved to Bloomington in 2005.

Founding the group, he said, was his way of giving back to the Bloomington community and sharing something he loved.

De Sigueira doesn’t consider himself to be an instructor but instead just an experienced dancer.

When the group meets twice a week, he offers tips and tries to help the dancers with difficulties they might be having.

“I found over the years that the framework of instructor-student doesn’t really help much,” he said.

Tango doesn’t have any structured steps, so there is nothing de Sigueira can teach the beginners in the class, he said.

“Argentine tango is more like an afternoon tea,” he said. “You don’t go there to dance. You go there to listen to the music, drink some wine and talk with friends.

If you like the song that is playing, you dance.”

Learning tango is all about learning how to let go and move with a partner to the tempo and rhythm of the music, he said.

Argentina and other South American countries have tango milongas all over the city. This cultural tradition has ingrained tango into the culture.

In Bloomington, the community has been receptive to tango dancing more than some other communities in the area, de Sigueira said.

“There’s a lot of curiosity to try something new,” he said. “The people here are phenomenal. They’re so open, interesting and willing to look at a different art form and appreciate.”

In countries such as the United States and China, people are taught that being vulnerable is a negative thing, Minetti said.

In tango, embracing a stranger and sharing emotions with them is a way for people to experience vulnerability and one of the main attractions to the dance.

“When you let go and share that with someone, it can be frightening, but many people are rewarded from that,” Minetti said.

Taking This is Tango Now to a country such as China is a way to keep the tango community alive around the world.

“Tango creates a new emotional landscape,” Minetti said. “Being vulnerable leads to other things — relating to people, being more compassionate. It helps establish a more emotional and rational connection that normally you don’t when you’re holding back too much.”

» SCALPING

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 A little later, a female student wearing overalls, and not much else, makes her way toward the tailgate fields. As she passes Dirty, his stare hangs.

“Oh,” Dirty says. “I’ll give you a ticket for free.”

One of Dirty’s competitors is an old white man sitting nearby in a metal folding chair.

His name is Paul Shockley, but others on the corner call him the King. The King has been working outside IU games for more than 40 years. But don’t call him a scalper.

“It’s like calling a police officer a pig,” he snarls. “I’m a buyer and seller of tickets.”

Why do people call him the King?

“I don’t cheat people.”

His voice is soft and doesn’t travel well, even when his temper acts up — which is often. His white beard and a ball cap hide his eyes. He’s heavy. Unlike Jeffrey and Dirty and his competitors, he doesn’t move quickly and can’t stand for long periods. Confined to his throne, the King waits for people to come to him.

Back when Bob Knight was the coach of the IU men’s basketball team, the King says he made $5,000 a game. His yearly profits eclipsed at $100,000 a year.

But if it weren’t for his regular customers, he wouldn’t make anything now, he says. That’s why he vows this is the last year he’ll work the corner.

“There’s no money in it anymore.”

The King doesn’t hide his disgust for the other scalpers. He thinks they have no respect. He says they don’t appreciate the finer points of negotiation.

“These sons of bitches,” he says, “will sell their grandmother for a nickel.”

His inability to move around is a disadvantage.

But he looks like Santa Claus, and when the fans notice his grandfatherly features, they relax.

The rivalries are intense between the scalpers.

They’re not only selling but also buying. It all depends on the market.

On the day of the season opener, Jeffrey engages a potential customer in negotiation, and Dirty comes up to the two men and starts yelling, “Hey, hey, hey,” trying to steal Jeffrey’s deal.

“Come on, Dirty,” Jeffrey says, but he never breaks eye contact with his customer.

“What you got?” Dirty asks the man with the tickets, ignoring Jeffrey’s plea.

Jeffrey starts talk-

ing louder. So does Dirty.

Jeffrey turns his right shoulder slightly, trying to box Dirty out.

The customer doesn’t engage Dirty in his attempts to steal Jeffrey’s deal. Dirty walks away.

The man wants $100 for four tickets, $25 each. He ends up taking $30 total.

That’s how scalpers make their money — buying low.

Most of the time Jeffrey goes to a game with nothing in his pocket except cash.

“Not even $10 each for them,” said the man who sold the tickets. “I was just trying to unload them, though.”

Later, Jeffrey gets a chance to turn a profit.

He leans inside the passenger window of a dark blue Hyundai Tucson, holding up traffic. He wants $100 for four tickets.

A cop standing across the street yells, “Hey, move it.”

The Tucson creeps forward, and Jeffrey jogs to keep up. He takes their money and gives them back their change.

The Tucson turns right on 17th Street.

“Thank you!”

Jeffrey stuffs the cash into his cargo shorts.

Seventy-dollar profit. * * * In his Indianapolis apartment seven weeks later, Jeffrey picks up a halfsmoked cigarette from his ashtray. For him it’s always Marlboro Reds.

He lights it and takes a drag. He’s turning 50 in three days. He’s going to try and quit smoking then, he says.

“Got to start taking care of myself,” he says in between drags.

He makes around $40,000 a year from scalping, he says. For about a decade, scalping was Jeffrey’s full-time job. But with StubHub and other online sites making street scalping harder, he works on air movers and heating and cooling units during the day.

He’s adapting, though.

He’s a licensed ticket broker. His ultimate goal is to be more like the online sites and not have to deal with the street anymore. Scalping is going through a transition, and so is Jeffrey.

His brand new apartment is equipped with new appliances and a Mac desktop. The air stings eyes from cigarette smoke.

He turns on his bigscreen television and flips to College GameDay on ESPN. The GameDay crew is in Tallahassee, Fla., previewing the Florida StateNotre Dame game. It’s a big

BEN MIKESELL | IDS

Paul Shockley, dubbed "The King" by others who normally buy and sell at IU games, sits in his metal chair at the corner of 17th Street and Indiana Avenue before IU's football game Oct. 18. His business approach is different than that of other ticket buyers and sellers. He sits and waits for business to come to him. This is his last year in the business. "There’s no money in it anymore,” he said of his dying business. His voice is soft and doesn’t travel well, which is the opposite of most other scalpers.

game, No. 2 vs. No. 5.

“That’ll be a tough ticket,” he says.

He takes a sip of his coffee.

Hope is fading for IU football. The previous week against Iowa, IU’s star quarterback Nate Sudfeld injured his shoulder. He’s out for the season. IU is 3-3, and today — Homecoming — they’ll rely on a true freshman quarterback against No. 8 Michigan State.

He hops into his Mazda.

The road changes from the concrete of Indianapolis to the forests surrounding State Road 37 on the way to Bloomington. It’s the middle of October, so the leaves look like a painting. He cracks the window and lights a Marlboro Red. He talks about scalping. When young scalpers ask for his advice, he has a simple message for them. Something he was told when he got into the business.

“The game is sold, not told,” he says.

In Bloomington, with three and a half hours until kickoff, Jeffrey pulls out $200 at a Chase ATM. He stops in a convenience store at the corner of 17th and Dunn streets to buy a pack of cigarettes. As he comes out, he sees his favorite corner empty.

“Good,” he says. “Ain’t nobody in my spot.”

At 12:16 p.m. Jeffrey drapes his sign around his neck: “TICKETS BUY/ SELL.” He’s in business.

Right now he has no

tickets.

A college student is giving out free strawberries. “Strawberries?” he keeps asking people.

“Strawberries?”

“You got any tickets?”

Jeffrey asks him.

The strawberry man looks confused. He looks at his carton of strawberries.

He looks back at Jeffrey and walks away.

It’s that kind of day for Jeffrey. It doesn’t make sense. The weather isn’t rainy or cold. Michigan State always brings fans.

“Tickets?” he asks a group of Spartan fans.

Nothing. People aren’t biting today.

Jeffrey was aiming to make around $300 from today’s game. By the end of the day, he’s made $100.

His voice is tougher than usual. His walk is more anxious.

“Man, that was a tough $100,” he says. * * * With a lull in foot traffic, Dirty sees another chance to tease the King.

“Do you know what Paul said to Santa Claus?” Dirty asks, already laughing.

The King scoffs and waves Dirty off.

“He said, ‘Do you have change for a quarter?’”

The King growls.

Putting up with Dirty and other scalpers is one reason the King is getting out. He admits the online vendors, like StubHub, are cutting into his business.

“You know those sites are illegal, don’t you?” he says.

Not true.

Alison Salcedo, the StubHub head of consumer public relations, says the biggest difference between the street scalpers and StubHub is safety. StubHub offers a 100-percent guarantee on all its tickets.

“The notion of the scalper on the corner selling tickets — we’re the opposite of that,” she said.

For the 2013 and 2014 seasons, IU football has had the worst ticket sales of any Big Ten team, according to StubHub data.

So why is ticket scalping not allowed on IU grounds?

“It’s against the law,” IU Assistant Athletic Director Jeremy Gray said.

Not true, either. Scalping laws vary from state to state.

The only restrictions are in Indiana Code 25-9-1-26, which says selling a ticket to a boxing or unarmed sparring match over face value is illegal. Other than that, scalping is legal in Indiana.

IU doesn’t allow scalpers on University grounds because of the issue of buying a dead ticket, IU spokesperson Mark Land said. Also, IU doesn’t want to subject its patrons to the aggressive nature of some of the scalpers.

To be boisterous and loud, they have to stay south of 17th Street. * * * It’s another Saturday in late November. Last game of

the year.

Since the starting quarterback got hurt, IU has lost five straight games. The hope is gone.

IU isn’t going to a bowl.

It’s going to have a losing season, again.

All the Hoosiers have to play for is their hatred of Purdue.

Both teams have had miserable seasons. By the end of the day, they’ll finish with the two worst records in the Big Ten. Tickets are a tough sell.

“Can’t believe it,” the King says. “Old Oaken Bucket game, and there’s nobody buying.”

Jeffrey is having a rough day.

“Tickets?” he asks.

“How about two bucks?” says a man in a Purdue hat.

“Oh, sorry, sir,” Jeffrey says, not bothering to hide his sarcasm. “Didn’t see the black and gold.”

Purdue fans are notoriously cheap, Jeffrey says.

He’s trying to sell tickets to a game between two of the worst teams in the country.

“I have seen better seasons,” Jeffrey says.

Like he’s said before, Jeffrey is trying to reinvent himself. The money is going online.

Can he change, though?

Jeffrey stands at his corner. He’s looking for a customer. He looks anxious.

He’s frustrated. He’s not making a lot today.

He reaches into his pocket, breaking his vow.

He lights another Marlboro Red.
