PHILADELPHIA — Vice President Joe Biden and Democratic vice presidential pick Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va, both spoke on the third night of the Democratic National Convention before President Obama took the stage.

Biden, once a top presumptive pick for the Democratic Party, said he did not run due to the unexpected death of his eldest son Beau in May 2015.

Kaine currently serves as the junior senator from Virginia, elected in 2012. Only five days ago, Democratic nominee and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton appointed Kaine as her running mate for the general election. This was Kaine’s first address on a national scale.

Biden was introduced by his wife, Jill Biden.

“Over the pass eight years, America has gotten to know the Joe I love,” Jill said.

Jill said her husband saw an injustice too great to ignore and always spoke out.

“He understands that working people are the backbone of this nation,” Jill said. “He has tremendous empathy for those in need.”

Biden joined the stage to meet his wife with overwhelming chants of “Joe” with orange signs held high as people.

Biden discussed his bond with Obama and their growing

PHILADELPHIA — Hope. It was his motto eight years ago when he addressed the party at his own convention. Now it’s time for someone else to lead the United States for the next four years.

President Obama addressed the Democratic Party during the third night of the Democratic National Convention and announced his endorsement once again for former secretary of state Hillary Clinton for president.

Tears slowly dripped down many faces of the more than 20,000 people that filled the Wells Fargo Center as the 44th president addressed his party for one of the last times.

Vertical signs spelling out “OBAMA” created a forest of light blue as everyone rose when Obama took his first steps toward the center of the stage.

“A lot’s happened over the years,” Obama said. “I stand before you again tonight after almost two terms as president that I am more optimistic about the future of America than ever.”

Obama spoke about the progress that has occurred throughout the past seven-and-a-half years and what still can be improved around the country.

Former president Bill Clinton humanizes Hillary during speech

By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu @_lindsaymoore

PHILADELPHIA — Bill Clinton added something different to Hillary’s campaign — the human element.

Like so many speakers before him, the former president listed the democratic nominee’s lengthy resume.

But he did what only a husband can do — he footnoted the resume with anecdotes of Hillary as a wife, a mother and a daughter.

Starting in 1971 at Yale, the

42nd president addressed the crowd with a simple line, “I met a girl.”

He then proceeded to weave the former secretary of state’s professional career achievements with personal stories of cross-country moves, the birth of their daughter and many, many elections.

Unlike the 2008 election, the Clinton campaign has emphasized her likeability by speaking from the perspective of a mother and grandmother rather than strictly a politician.

“Hillary, first and foremost was a mother,” her husband said.

“She became, as she often said, our family’s designated worrier.”

Bill’s speech circled around his wife’s career milestones from her undercover investigation into segregated southern schools in the 1970’s to her ongoing advocacy for women’s health around the globe.

“She’s the best darn changemaker I’ve ever met in my whole entire life,” Bill said about his wife.

He compared the Democratic candidate with the Republican candidate and said one was real SEE BILL CLINTON, PAGE 5

Dion Lerman, who describes himself as an independent activist and trainer, leads a training session for Bernie Peacekeepers on July 27.

Group forms to keep peace

By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu @_lindsaymoore

PHILADELPHIA — Susan Britton-Seyler saw the problem before it happened. Before there were delegate walkouts, mile-long marches and leaked emails, Britton-Seyler saw the Bernie Sanders movement taking a negative turn. In an effort to calm the storm, she created the Bernie Sanders Peacekeepers.

As a Quaker from Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, Britton-Seyler said she believes in nonviolent, peaceful protests, but as the election cycle started to turn against the Vermont senator and toward former sectary of state, now democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, she saw the stubborn tenacity of Sanders supporters turn bitter, even hateful.

“Under the circumstances there’s enough people that have that frame of mind and we don’t want (it to affect) Bernie’s legacy,” she said.

In preparation for the unrest, Britton-Seyler archived her architectural design website and set up berniesanderspeacekeepers.com as its replacement. She created a Facebook page and spread the word on other Bernie Sanders social media groups.

First grade teacher Teri Basinait of Mount Laurel, New Jersey, has 500 Facebook

friends dedicated to the Democratic candidate. She saw Britton-Seyler’s message on her Bernie or Bust page.

“I think it’s important to be a good example,” Basinait said. “I’ve seen first hand in the classroom that a good example can be infectious.”

Every week for the past month Basinait left her two kids, ages 9 and 12, at home whiles she drives to Philadelphia and meets with BrittonSeyler and other peacekeepers to organize.

She lamented 400 peacekeeper signs with the message that reads, “Standing up together for Bernie’s platform.

I support his progressive ideas and ethics in a peaceful and positive way. Absolutely.” For each sign Basinait individually highlighted the sentences “#BeLikeBernie” and “I do NOT support violence of any kind.”

Almost all of the signs have been given out to volunteers, there was only 50 left as of July 26 LGBT “Wall of Love” protest against the Westboro Bapist Church, Britton-Seyler said.

On Wednesday morning she took an Uber to deliver 500 peace sign buttons to Arch Street Methodist church in Philadelphia after her car battery went dead. In the pews around her sat four other peacekeepers in the making.

Part of Britton-Seyler’s plan was to properly train the Bernie Peacekeepers for crowd control at marches during the Democratic National Convention.

Less than 100 feet away from the Pennsylvania Convention Center, which housed the DNC caucuses and advocacy tables, the fifth day of peace training was led by independent activist and peace trainer Dion Lerman.

Lerman, who does not align with either political party, has been a nonviolent advocate and peace trainer for over 40 years. His presentations advise participants on how to stay calm during trouble, how to link at the wrists and create a human fence during violence and how to effectively tell protesters to put out their joint, amongst other directions.

The presentation began with volunteers listing their fears. Topping the list was stampedes, terrorist attacks and police over-reactions.

“Rumors” was also written down.

Fortunately, stampedes, terrorist attacks and police over-reactions have not been an issue for the 100 plus peacekeepers trained this week. Rumors, however, have been.

The Bernie Peacekeepers have come under attack by militant and anarchist groups

who tell Sanders supporters that the peacekeepers are actually working for the police.

They have even gone as far as telling volunteers waiting outside the church that training was canceled and coerced them into joining their training instead.

“I wasn’t expecting this,” Britton-Seyler said. “I’m just a Quaker woman from the suburbs.”

Lerman wasn’t surprised, though, he had seen this kind of distrust toward peacekeepers before during civil rights movements. However, he said the issue is more explicit this time around, in other examples he described the reference to police as a background issue.

“We’re not police,” he said.

“We’re interested in the safety and integrity of the cause and the people who come out to support it.”

Every training session starts with Lerman asking the volunteers to close their eyes and imagine they’re a tree.

He asks them to feel the wind blow through their branches, feel the water rush past their roots. He tells them to center themselves as a tree and be strong.

Britton-Seyler said she decided she was bamboo.

Strong and solid with long reaching roots. And, most importantly, bamboo grows back when its cut down.

Eric Holcomb appointed as new GOP candidate for governor

IU President Michael McRobbie now has a higher base salary than men’s basketball Coach Tom Crean.

McRobbie will be paid $615,000 in fiscal year 2016, which began July 1. The increase puts him about $10,000 ahead of Crean for the first time. Crean’s base salary when hired in 2008 was $600,000, while McRobbie’s was $425,000. McRobbie’s salary slowly climbed, while Crean’s stayed the same until his contract was extended, boosting his base salary to more than $604,000 for fiscal year 2014.

Crean’s base salary has stayed the same since then, but McRobbie’s jumped almost $37,000 during the last fiscal year. The increase is a result of the IU Board of Trustees’ vote to extend McRobbie’s contract through June 30, 2021, to see the University through its bicentennial celebration in 2020.

However Crean, McRobbie and several other IU employees, including head football coach Kevin Wilson, all make more than their base salary. Wilson’s base salary of $542,000 puts him third on this year’s list, but he’ll actually make about $2.15 million. The extra $1.6 million comes from promotional income, which covers public appearances, media

communications and sponsorship agreements. Crean’s total compensation is more than $3.1 million for 2016, according to USA Today’s NCAA basketball coach database.

While the top base salary goes to an IU administrator, the IU athletics department leads the list of top five base salaries for the Bloomington campus. After McRobbie, athletic department employees Crean, Wilson, newly hired defensive coordinator Tom Allen at $500,000 and athletic director Fred Glass at $478,846, Provost Lauren Robel’s $413,340 puts her sixth on the list.

The majority of IU employees are making less than $300,000. Nearly half of the more than 9,000 employees on the Bloomington campus make less than $50,000 a year, according to IU public records. Most staff employees only receive base pay, unlike their counterparts at the top of the salary list.

The top-five list is not very diverse. All the employees are white and the majority are men. That’s fairly representative of the 32 IU employees on the Bloomington campus making at least $300,000. There are only four women in that group, and more than 90 percent of the 32 people are white.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR My co-editor-in-chief Michael Hughes and I went into this summer thinking it would be easy.

Summer staff only prints twice a week, there is generally less news that happens on campus and in town with students gone and we knew we had a great staff to back us up.

But as the industry goes we were hit hard with news.

This summer brought news of the nation’s worst mass shooting in history, two of the most divided national conventions in years, more shootings of black men by police and shootings of police in Dallas as well.

And that was just the national news. Locally, we mourned the 5-year anniversary of the disappearance of Lauren Spierer, had the dean of students retire, a

professor charged with sexual assault and two students pass away.

Needless to say, Michael and I couldn’t be more grateful that our great staff turned out to be one of the best on record who worked tirelessly to bring you topnotch reporting and grade-A storytelling.

We want to thank you, our readers for being with us along the way. Though we will be off stands for a couple weeks we will still be updating our website, idsnews. com, for continued updates on the presidential and gubernatorial races and the trial of Daniel Messel.

Finally, come fall you will be in the best of hands with our new editor Alison Graham and her staff, I promise.

We are so proud to be your newspaper.

Eric Holcomb, the current lieutenant governor of Indiana, announced Tuesday his nomination as the Republican gubernatorial candidate for Indiana’s fall 2016 election.

“I am honored to receive the nomination of the Indiana Republican Party to serve as our candidate for governor,” he said in a July 26 statement. “I’m thankful to the community and grassroots leaders who endorsed my campaign in the past several days and look forward to working with them — and everyone — as this campaign officially now kicks into high gear.”

He said in his statement he plans to continue Indiana’s progress by pursuing a teamlike environment to solve problems of budget, taxes, education and infrastructure.

He also pointed out that he’s had a front-row seat during both Mitch Daniels’ and Mike Pence’s terms as governor and has been able to assist both men in making some of the decisions they’ve made.

“This year has taken many twists and turns, but I am ready to answer the call, ready to lead us to victory and ready to take Indiana to the next level,” he said.

Holcomb will face Democrat John Gregg in November’s general election. The Republican state committee will meet Aug. 1 to select a replacement lieutenant governor candidate since Holcomb has left the position.

Westboro Baptist Church eclipsed by LGBT advocates

By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu @_lindsaymoore

PHILADELPHIA — Love won, objectively.

To counter a Westboro Baptist Church protest, approximately 500 LGBT supporters lined an entire city block in front of the Mazzoni Health Center.

Although they planned the protest, the Westboro Bapist Church members arrived about a half hour later than originally planned.

Their small army of about five to six protesters was met with a “Wall of Love.”

Philadelphia police al-

lowed LGBT counter-protesters to continue as long as they did not block traffic on Locust Street between Eighth and Ninth streets.

The crowd peacefully stood its ground. Many supporters handed out flowers and a five to six person band played across the street. The counter-protesters sang a full set list of Beatles songs including “Hey Jude” and “Imagine.” A block away, the Westboro Bapist Church sang renditions of pop songs with changed lyrics to reflect the danger of sin.

After about a half hour, the more vocal crowd surrounding the Westboro

Baptist Church wore down the members with chants like “Fascists go home.” The protesters, who were surrounded by a police bike barricade, backed away from the corner and walked down the opposite side street.

Protesters with megaphones followed and demanded they leave the city entirely. Both police and media followed them, attracting the attention of several local store owners and customers who took video on their phones.

Eventually, the small clan from Westboro left in their BMW.

SHARKNADO Syfy’s fin-tastic series takes the small screen by storm with its fourth installment July 31. To get ready, we looked back at 1, 2 and 3.

‘SHARKNADO’ Ian Ziering, Tara Ried, John Heard GRADE: D+ B-MOVIE CURVE: C The perhaps less-than-anticipated “Sharknado 4: the 4th Awakens” is set to premiere July 31 on the Syfy channel and, although I boast about my love of quality films, I’m of-fish-ially pumped.

I’ve gained an affinity for things that are deemed “so bad they’re good.”

My most recent ventures include the early-1990’s sci-fi-heavy-on-the-fi series “Twin Peaks” and the 2003 independent film “The Room,” created by Tommy Wiseau, a self-made man with a $6 million budget who didn’t understand the difference between shooting on film and digital so he decided to shoot the entire film on both. Truly the American dream.

Don’t worry – what Wiseau lacks in knowledge of producing and directing he does not make up for in performance.

After adding these to my repertoire of cringe-worthy classics, the “Sharknado” trilogy seemed like the obvious next step.

The plot of the Syfy channel’s 2013 release “Sharknado” is what you’d ex-

pect: a giant tornado of sharks makes it’s way to the west coast where a group of locals led by aptly-named Fin Shepard, played by Ian Ziering, and equipped with a token hot girl take it upon themselves to be the heroes and save Los Angeles.

It’s got the formula for the perfect sci-fi movie, complete with some of the worst CGI I’ve ever seen, safety warnings that no one heeds and gobs of fake blood.

It’s good as long as you suspend your disbelief.

Like really, take your disbelief and throw it into a garbage can along with your snobbish high standards for the “art of cinema” that you pretend to have around your friends. And then throw that garbage can into a sharknado.

The sharks can jump to unrealistic heights, like on top of a school bus dangling from an overpass, and can survive being swirled inside the eye of a tornado until they touch ground to attack, which is probably impossible because of something with science.

Though the danger of the impending sharknado is obvious, the snarky comments from almost every character in the film are the truly the shade from which no one is safe.

Lines such as “My mom always told

me Hollywood would kill me,” “We’re gonna need a bigger chopper” and “Looks like it’s that time of the month,” just to name a few.

I did have a couple of gripes with the film.

My favorite character George, played by John Heard, your typical snide old man at the bar, doesn’t make it much past the first 20 minutes of the film. We lose his refreshing old-man charm all too soon as he is plowed over by a wave of sharks.

I mean come on, Syfy. The survivors can’t all be decently attractive with ambiguous ages between 17 and 45.

Another big miss on the writers’ part — they don’t use the word “sharknado” enough. I had to wait almost the entire movie to hear it once.

But I guess they didn’t say, “Hey, look, there’s Jaws!” in the movie “Jaws,” so maybe I should lay off.

At any rate, you have to appreciate “Sharknado” for what it is — a cheesy, B-movie thriller about what might happen if a tropical storm picked up some sharks and the laws of physics were abandoned.

And, all things considered, I’ve clearly seen worse.

RILED UP

Officially done being riled up This column marks not only the end of my fifth semester as a columnist for the Indiana Daily Student, but also my last paper as the editor of this section.

While both have provided me with excellent experiences, they have also taught me some important lessons. Easy ones like not waiting until 3 a.m. to try and construct an argument in 500 words and hard ones like admitting I’m wrong after I have already put my thoughts in print.

Given that this is my last chance, and a it’s bit of a tradition, I’ll share some these lessons with you.

The most obvious thing I learned is what exactly is an opinion. In today’s quick moving social climate, this word has been frequently misused. An opinion is not a statement that can’t be opposed. It isn’t a catch-all word that allows people to spew false facts and then claim they can’t be reproached for them.

Opinions are judgments made based upon the facts one is given. If your facts are false, your opinion isn’t valid.

Claiming a statement is only an opinion won’t save you from criticism and it shouldn’t. If we can’t support our opinions with a plethora of true and reliable facts then, instead of clinging to our opinions like a security blanket, we should challenge them. To do so, we have to accept a few things about the media and about ourselves.

First, news is biased.

Most news attempts to be impartial, and its an admirable goal. However, just like you can’t pretend you weren’t a little meaner than you should have been on your group-project-assigning professor’s evaluation sheet, no one can pretend that journalists don’t have political viewpoints. That is what the opinion section is for, after all.

Second, facts can lie. It’s called spin and it’s literally everywhere. A statistic is meaningless unless it is put in context. That context will determine whether something is going up or down, whether more crimes are happening or just that more are being reported. Context is everything and nothing

exists in a vacuum. Not your statistics, not your statements, not your vote.

We have to be aware of these downfalls of media in order to recognize how they affect our own preconceived notions.

Despite previous warnings and cautions, it feels like 2016 is the most divided our country has ever been.

Not only are the two main parties polar opposites of each other, but those parties are also splitting from within.

An equally divided media only exacerbates this division.

Conservatives and liberals fall into holes of media that only confirm their own beliefs and then are taught to ridicule the opposing party for doing the same thing.

Only listening to one side does not strengthen viewpoints, it weakens them. If you can’t understand the opposition then you can’t oppose it in a meaningful way.

More importantly than that, you can’t find common ground. You end up in a gridlock, getting nothing done and hating both sides,

JORDAN RILEY has a degree in comparative literature.

which is where most of the electorate is right now. We don’t need more people shouting that they are right and that they told you so.

We need compromise.

So this is what I have learned. Despite our amazing right to free speech, our words have consequences.

Listen before you speak. Be responsible for your words and for the information that you perpetuate. Make sure you are honest about what you know and what you don’t. Keep an open mind.

I plan to take these lessons I learned here at IU, and specifically at the IDS, beyond this final column and into the rest of my life.

Maybe through this extended education, I will someday have learned enough to form all my opinions so I convince everyone I am completely right. But probably not. jordrile@indiana.edu @RiledupIDS

SHOWALTER’S SHOW AND TELL

Liberals should remain ‘Still Sanders’ We almost had our revolution.

Sen. Bernie Sanders accumulated nearly 46 percent of the pledged delegates in this year’s Democratic primary race. If he had been able to turn only 180 out of the 4,051 delegates, he would have won.

Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has made the likely fatal error of nominating Hillary Clinton, who stands a good chance of losing to Donald Trump in November.

Despite this, our revolution was not a total failure and we can remain “Still Sanders” long after November has passed, no matter the outcome of the election.

We can claim a few victories from this year and use them as motivation in our continuing fight against corruption, unbridled capitalism, war mongering and the greed, lies and selfishness that embody both Clinton and Trump.

We ousted DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who agreed to step down following the release

of emails by Wikileaks showing her favoritism for Clinton during the primaries.

I understand the coverage of this controversy has been tainted by confirmation bias. I know claims that the primaries were rigged aren’t entirely factual.

However, when all Sanders needed was to flip 180 delegates, to turn four percent of the vote, it’s not unreasonable to assume fair treatment from the leader of the Democratic National Committee would have resulted in a small voter shift.

For instance, had Schultz decided to schedule debates during times when more people were available to watch, a portion of those voters might have been persuaded by Sanders’ performances.

The DNC has agreed to reduce the number of superdelegates by two-thirds.

I know Clinton would still mathematically win if superdelegates weren’t a factor.

But, if they hadn’t been a factor, the media wouldn’t have been able to paint the primary as Clinton’s advantage

from day one.

Certainly, had the media not been able to use the superdelegate count to consistently portray Clinton as unbeatable, we would have seen a small shift in voter preference.

And, remember, all Sanders needed was four percent.

Finally, Sanders forced Clinton to adopt most of his platform. The Democratic platform now includes a $15 per hour minimum wage, expansion of Social Security, a price on greenhouse gas emissions and legalizing marijuana.

Clinton also announced support for a public option in the Affordable Care Act and tuition-free college for families making less than $125,000 per year.

If only she would come out against fracking, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the deregulation of Wall Street, we might have ourselves a real progressive.

Though it would have been anti-democratic, part of me wishes the superdelegates had had the sense to switch

their support to Sanders July 26 at the DNC. After all, he and Clinton now have nearly identical platforms, but he performs far better against Trump than she does.

He also comes with far less baggage and much more integrity.

Alas, while this election will be an important one, it is not the only political moment in which we are empowered.

We can and should continue the political revolution Sanders started by voting in true progressives at the federal, state and local levels.

We should continue our protests, make our voices heard and be restless until fairness, equality and justice are restored to all the people of this nation, not just the top one percent. thshowal@umail.iu.edu @TherinShowalter

Scenes of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ supporters protesting and walking out of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia over the nomination of Hillary Clinton as the party’s nominee reminded me of a far different moment in political history. Specifically the 1968 DNC in Chicago.

The contexts for the two different conventions are eerily similar in some aspects.

Both conventions occurred at a time when the nation was marked by spikes of violence. In 1968, national figures like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Sen. Robert Kennedy, D-NY, who was a leading contender for the Democratic nomination, were murdered, which sent the nation into a period of shock and anger.

This year, violence against unarmed black men and police officers has ravaged the country and created a climate of fear similar to the one that was witnessed in 1968.

Anger at the political establishment was another theme of both conventions.

Critics in 1968 strongly disapproved of President Lyndon Johnson’s Vietnam War policies, which sent thousands of young men into combat.

Today, some in the Democratic Party are angry that former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shulz and top party officials rigged the primary in order for Clinton to win the nomination.

In 1968, the party actually rigged the election in favor of one candidate. According to Time, Vice President Hubert Humphrey was chosen as the party’s nominee over competitor Eugene McCarthy, even though Humphrey had started his campaign for

TRISTAN FITZPATRICK is a senior in journalism and history

the presidency in late March.

The decision spurned Sen. George McGovern, D-SD to make changes to how the Democratic Party elected its nominee for the presidency, giving voters a fairer say in who the party’s nominee would be.

During the 2016 convention, delegates booed Wasserman Shulz over her tenure as DNC chairwoman, and in 1968 protesters participated in violence in anger that Humphrey was chosen as the nominee instead of McCarthy.

There are, of course, some differences between the two conventions. While the country faces serious foreign policy questions concerning the rise of the Islamic State in the Middle East, no military draft is currently occurring, which was a decisive reason so many opposed Humphrey’s nomination.

The outgoing president also has far greater popularity now than in 1968. According to the Miller Center of Public Affairs, “Johnson’s approval ratings had dropped from 70 percent in mid-1965 to below 40 percent by 1967.” President Obama has a 52 percent approval rating, according to a CNN/ORC poll from June.

The similarities between the two conventions are striking. In 1968, a divided Democratic Party lost badly in the general election to Republican Richard Nixon.

Hopefully unification will come easier for the party this year. ttfitzpa@umail.iu.edu @tfitzwrites

KARL’S CORNER

Bill Clinton, America’s first gentleman The 42nd president of the United States of America entered uncharted territory July 26 at the Democratic National Convention as he took his best shot at stepping into the supporting role his wife previously inhabited as she became the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

Americans can’t deny that this situation is unusual.

Gender roles are completely swapped, a sign of everchanging times that was evidenced by Michelle Obama’s riveting statement at the DNC, “Because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.”

I agree with this statement. It’s harnessing that millennial girl power we all love and know so well. It’s not feminism, it’s life as we know it.

So, now that the whole world can get over the fact that a woman can be president, I’d like to talk about how a man can become a first lady.

Bill Clinton might become the “first lady,” which is a completely gendered term in and of itself because it implies politeness via curtsies, baking cookies, folding laundry and taking lavish sponge baths.

I can’t really imagine Bill doing any of those things, but it’s not like Hillary did either. Which is why I’d like to discuss the underwhelming effect of gender in this year’s election.

Hillary has been a power player in American lives since assuming the role of first lady in 1993. Her husband Bill immediately named her head of the President’s Task Force on Health Care Reform, according to the National First Ladies Library (yes, such a thing exists).

A lot of Americans don’t see her as having the underpinnings of a traditional “lady.” Possibly because she’s been a leader in a political arena full of gray-haired

men since before we were in diapers.

On the opposite spectrum, take Michelle Obama.

She could be the president, sure. Her speech July 25 proved as much. But she could also assume the role as mother to every single child on this planet.

She fights for important causes like childhood obesity via her “Let’s Move” campaign, the education of girls around the globe via her “Let Girls Learn” initiative and veteran support via “Reach Higher.”

But I also watched Obama appear on James Corden’s “Carpool Karaoke” last week and have seen her on countless TV shows. All in all, she is a wonderful personality that Americans truly enjoy watching.

Not even Donald Trump criticized her speech, and that’s saying something.

For Hillary, it’s never been about appearance. And neither for Bill, although his speech tried to highlight her humanity via stories of forgotten times, it’s going to be hard to break through the tough-politician façade that she’s assumed for all these years.

I don’t think Bill knows what’s in store. Washington Post columnist Alexandra Petri tweeted, “Bill Clinton now realizing he’s signed on for possibly four years of sitting through other people’s speeches applauding politely.”

Who knows what the future entails, but I sure as hell don’t think Bill is going to be sitting pretty in Washington twiddling his thumbs and updating the White House’s Snapchat story. But that would be pretty funny. jlkarl@umail.iu.edu @jkarl26

and one was fake. He characterized Republican nominee Donald Trump as a two-dimensional cartoon.

“Good for you, because earlier today you nominated the real one,” he said to the Democratic Party.

Clinton passed the 2,383vote threshold during Tuesday afternoon’s roll call, making her the official Democratic nominee.

The roll call proceeded without an announcement but Hillary logo signs were passed out to delegates and media.

Roll call, which is normally organized alphabetically, ended on Vermont. The home state of Sen. Bernie Sanders pledged 22 to the senator and four to Clinton.

Sanders took the mic and moved that the convention suspend the procedural rules and the nomination be moved to a voice vote.

“I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party for the president of the United States,” Sanders said.

The response was met with an eruption of cheers followed by representative Marcia Fudge addressing the delegates.

“Is there a second?” Fudge said.

The Wells Fargo Center echoed with a unified “aye.”

In that moment history was made and Hillary became the first female candidate to become a presidential nominee for a major political party.

Hillary will give a formal acceptance speech on the last night of the convention July 28. To close the July 26 proceedings, a video of portraits of all of the former presidents flashed through before glass was shattered with Hillary’s picture behind it.

From New York, Hillary thanked the party for her nomination through a video message.

“If there are any little girls out there who stayed up late to watch, let me just say, I may become the first woman president, but one of you is next,” she said.

FIRST LADY SHAKES UP THE DNC First lady Michelle Obama leaves the stage after her speech on day one of the Democratic National Convention.

“Healthcare is not a privilege, it is a right for everyone,” Obama said.

He then continued to list out issues that are no more an imminent threat to the American public from

friendship.

“He’s the embodiment of honor, resolve and character,” Biden said. “One of the finest presidents we have ever had.”

Biden sent a shout out to first lady Michelle Obama and said she had the best speech by far this week.

“Barack and I married way up,” Biden said.

Explained as a bittersweet moment, Biden explained how his late son Beau was

bringing more troops home and shutting down Iran’s nuclear weapon deal.

“America’s promises do not come with a price tag,” Obama said.

Earlier in the night, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va, addressed the party as the vice presidential pick, his first public

appearance as part of the official nominee pair.

Serving as one of his secretaries of state, Clinton and Obama have worked together on multiple issues, both foreign and domestic policy.

“Most issues are rarely black and white and Hillary

knows getting things done requires compromise,” Obama said.

Saying once more that she was the most qualified candidate in the party, Obama gave his full support to Clinton, now the official Democratic nominee for president.

“The Democratic Party is in good hands,” Obama said.

As he was about to take his steps off the stage, Clinton made an appearance and they walked off arm in arm as “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder echoed through the arena.

one of the reasons he served his country.

“You got a glimpse of the incredibly fine young man Beau was,” Biden said.

Following his moment of sorrow he raised his eyebrows and asked for a time of seriousness, focusing on the opposite party’s nominee.

“The world breaks everyone and afterwards many are strong,” Biden said. “I’ve been made strong of the broken spaces.”

Cynicism described as unbounding, Biden warned the room of the terrors that

could arise if Donald Trump was president.

“He has no clue what makes America great,” Biden said.

Biden said he saw a bright future in Clinton and in the future of America.

“Never been a good bet to bet against America,” Biden said. “We always move forward.”

Bobby Scott introduced Kaine speaking of his dedication to civil rights and social rights.

As he walked out, orange signs of “juntos se puede” or

“together we can” went in the air.

“I humbly accept my party’s nomination as vice president of the United States,” Kaine said.

Kaine spoke of his faith and efforts connected to this social justice focus.

“Somos Americanos todos,” Kaine said.

Focusing on the opposite party, Kaine then spoke of the beginning of the Republicans.

“If any of you are looking for that party of Lincoln, we have a home for you at the

Democratic party,” Kaine said.

Touching on his faith, Kaine connected it to his past successes and looked toward this future.

“If I’m any good at politics it’s because I started at the local level,” Kaine said.

Kaine served as mayor of Richmond, Virginia, and a member of the Richmond City Council.

“We are all neighbors and we must love our neighbors as ourself,” Kaine said. “Do all the good you can and serve one another.”

FOOTBALL

Life in the Big Ten East gets harder for IU football team CHICAGO — Kevin Wilson’s job is on a new hot seat — the powderkeg of the Big Ten’s East Division.

No, Wilson’s job is fully secure, but the difficulty of his job has ramped up because the division where the Hoosiers reside.

Elite, championship level teams are above IU and the teams beneath the Hoosiers are on their way back, thanks to smart coaching hires.

It’s a precarious position for Wilson, whose program is on solid footing coming off its first bowl appearance in many years.

Wilson sees the elite competition as a blessing.

“It’s helped recruiting,” Wilson said. “It is what it is and if you were to name the dominant teams in our league, we’ve added Maryland and Rutgers to them.

It’s Big Ten football.”

Two of the dominant teams — Ohio State and Michigan State — have represented the Big Ten in the College Football Playoff so far. Ohio State won the championship in 2015 and Urban Meyer is bringing in top recruiting classes every year.

Michigan won 10 games in the first year of the Jim Harbaugh tenure and looks to be a consistent threat to win the division.

Those three programs are serious national challengers every single year — and should be for the next decade.

Redshirt senior offensive lineman Dimitric Camiel sees that competition as a motivating force.

“We want to be one of those teams,” Camiel said. “Everybody wants the prize so for us to be watching those guys and seeing how successful they are becoming, it makes us want to go take it.”

Camiel said just little things separate IU from the championship-level teams.

The other three teams in the division also have great potential.

Penn State is coming off sanctions and finally has their full 85 scholarships in year three of the James Franklin era. He won previously at Vanderbilt, and should be able to bring Penn State back, especially now that they are at full strength.

Maryland and Rutgers

Andrew Hussey is a junior in journalism.

both hired coaches with high-level pedigree, coming from Michigan and Ohio State respectively.

“I truly believe the Big Ten brand and football is at a all-time high right now,” new Rutgers Coach Chris Ash said. “I’m excited to be a part of it.”

Ash is building his program back up, while Durkin looks to finally awaken from being a sleeping giant. With the fertile DMV recruiting turf, he should have his pick of players to go along with the program’s fruitful partnership with Under Armour.

Many have speculated that Maryland grad and Under Armour founder Kevin Plank could transform Maryland into another Oregon.

“It’s a natural bond and allegiance with one another because it’s easy,” Durkin said. “What we hold in high regard in our program, he holds in high regard in his program, in his business as well. They’re huge for us and have put our program on the map in many ways and we’ll continue to do that and help us.”

The Big Ten East is stacked with championship level teams and teams with coaches that could get to their teams to that level. You won’t see the division structure change, even if the chasm between the East and the West grows.

“The word ever is a long word and could it ever change?” Big Ten commissioner Jim Delaney said.

“I guess there could be a discussion, but there’s no present discussion to make that change.”

The East will continue to be strong, for many years to come.

Wilson knows that and embraces it.

“If you didn’t want play in competitive games, then why did you choose this place because that’s what you are going to match up against,” Wilson said.

“We’ve embraced the challenge and the team looks forward to it.”

Residing in the East division is difficult, but so was rebuilding the IU program and getting it to the Pinstripe Bowl. IU is at the big boy table now, and it’s not going to get any easier.

No answer for quarterback yet

By Jordan Guskey jguskey@indiana.edu | @JordanGuskey

CHICAGO — Indiana’s first preseason practice isn’t far away, but Kevin Wilson said his quarterbacks need more time.

Junior Zander Diamont; redshirt sophomore Danny Cameron; and redshirt junior Richard Lagow, a junior college transfer from Cisco Community College in Texas, are all fighting to show why they should fill Nate Sudfeld’s shoes.

Diamont boasts the only Division One starts out of the trio, with seven for IU, while Cameron has just one appearance and Lagow none, but all three were listed equally in the latest IU depth chart.

“I don’t think it’s right to anoint someone until they’ve earned it,” Wilson said. “You have to earn the respect of the guys.”

Each one has impressed Wilson with the progress they’ve made over the summer, but Cameron hasn’t separated himself, Diamont needs more time after a procedure to correct an injury which nagged him in 2015 and caused him to miss spring ball and Lagow only has 15 practices to his name.

Still, the lack of a clear starter at this point and the competition that will spill into preseason practices doesn’t worry Wilson, he said. He has had success playing multiple quarterbacks in the past

and sees the competition as evidence of depth, the latter of which will prove vital if injuries continue to hamper IU at the quarterback position as it has in recent years.

All three options provide IU with something a little different, but redshirt junior linebacker Marcus Oliver said he believes any of them would find success in 2016.

“Talent-wise, I think this might be one of the best teams I’ve been a part of since I’ve been here,” Oliver said. “We have veteran guys everywhere. People want to keep asking about the quarterbacks, we got quarterbacks, they’re all good, but what’s going to help all of them are the guys we have on the outside and the running backs and the o-line we have.”

Redshirt senior guard Dan Feeney, who leads IU’s offensive line as a returning AllAmerican, said he sees IU’s wealth of veteran options on the line and at the skill positions as something that will make the quarterbacks more at ease and comfortable under center.

Feeney said he also thinks the veterans will help the future starter in leadership situations.

“I think that’s a good thing for us and I think that’ll help younger quarterbacks come in, like Rich,” Feeney said. “He doesn’t have to be the tip of the spear. He can kind of relax, understand the defense, make the calls he needs to make and

make the play.”

Wilson echoed that sentiment and said Feeney, IU’s other redshirt seniors and veterans can take on roles as team leaders in place of the quarterbacks. His final decision, whether it’s Lagow, Diamont, Cameron or a combination of two of them, will be made based on whether or

not his guys can take care of the ball and get the Hoosiers into the end zone.

“It’s the ability to manage the offense and distribute the ball, the ability to have the command presence to talk with confidence because the way he calls the play makes the guys feel good or not,” Wilson said.

CHICAGO — IU had the worst defense in the Big Ten in 2015.

It allowed the most points per game (37.6), the most yards per game (509.5) and the most first downs per game (25.1) of any Big Ten team.

Junior linebacker Marcus Oliver and the Hoosier defense are tired of hearing about it.

“I think guys are tired of it,” Oliver said. “I’ve been tired of it.”

That’s where new defensive coordinator Tom Allen comes into play.

After consecutive seasons of sub-par defense, former defensive coordinator Brian Knorr was let go, and the Hoosiers are high on the man who is replacing him. Allen also happens to be an Indiana-native.

“I didn’t know he was a Ben Davis guy or grew up in Indiana,” Wilson said. “I didn’t know all that. I just felt a connection with him right away. I couldn’t believe how positive he was.”

Wilson said during the interview he had to ask Allen which defensive scheme he ran because he liked his style so much that the scheme seemed less important than

how Allen was able to get his players and coaches to buy into his system.

Allen was one candidate in line for the Auburn defensive coordinator before the Tigers decided upon Kevin Steele, which left Allen to take the IU job.

Though Wilson had some candidates in mind for the vacant IU defensive coordinator position, Allen erased them and took the spot immediately, which left Wilson calling for recommendations right after the interview.

“Out of the blue I had reached out to him,” Wilson said. “He didn’t reach out to me.”

What Wilson and the defense rave about Allen the most is his positivity and how he sees the good in players and ideas. In fact, Wilson said Allen can be positive to a fault, supporting players to a fault and not enabling a learning curve.

“When you’re a positive guy it’s hard to be critical,” Wilson said. “I actually have a critical eye. I see a lot of shortcomings. He’s a guy that sees a lot of positive things. He’s got a neat skillset.”

Schematically, Allen differs quite a bit from previous IU defenses, running the 4-25 defense that features a husky position, a hybrid between a linebacker and a defensive back.

IDS FILE PHOTO

Junior linebacker Marcus Oliver attempts to bring down the runner during the game against Florida International on Sept. 12, 2015, at Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers won, 36-22.

Culturally, he came to Bloomington prepared to change the defense, immediately barring all defensive players from using the word “turnover” and requiring them to use “takeaway” to provide a more aggressive connotation.

On the football field though, Oliver said it isn’t any different with Allen.

“He told me from the first day he got there, he was waiting for me to mess up,” Oliver said. “Even if it was the slightest thing like not stepping right or something, he was waiting for it. As soon as I did, he used me as an example in order to show everybody else that nobody is too good to not do everything right.”

Before summer practices,

Allen had his defensive players take quizzes in order for each player to understand every aspect of the defense in any situation, something Oliver said he used to learn his style of play. The linebacker said it’s paying off in a quick way.

He also said this summer has been like no other in his career as the defense prepares to improve on its dismal numbers from last season.

And that has Oliver excited, he said.

“It’s definitely a chip to play with,” Oliver said about IU’s worst conference defense. “It just excites me more for this year. Coach Allen is excited and we’re gonna get it done this year. No ifs, ands or buts. It’s gonna happen.”

New program to improve learning, retention, success

By Dylan Gray dygray@indiana.edu

COURTESY PHOTO

Austin-based filmmaker David Redish and New York-based filmmaker John Yost speak on a panel about shooting a film with limited resources at the 2015 Middle Coast Film Festival. Yost is shooting a short film in Indiana after visiting the state for the first time to attend the 2014 festival.

Middle Coast festival to begin

By Kathryn de la Rosa krdelaro@indiana.edu

Bloomington will play host to the third annual Middle Coast Film Festival beginning Thursday, July 28, and ending Saturday, July 30, a weekend-long independent film festival that brings films and filmmakers to Indiana.

Feature length and short films, web series episodes and music videos are scheduled to play at five venues: Buskirk-Chumley Theater, Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center, the Back Door, the Blockhouse and the Monroe County Public Library.

Middle Coast is an “interactive film festival” that fosters a relationship between Bloomington and the film industry.

Besides screenings, audience members can connect with more than 50 filmmakers without barriers in panel discussions and Q&A sessions.

The festival showcases films made between the cultural capitals of Los Angeles and New York City, according to the Middle Coast website, redefining the Midwest as a third coast.

Middle Coast Communications Director Claire McInerny said the festival’s mission is two-fold.

Their primary goal is to bring cool films to Bloomington in a celebration condensed into a single weekend and to offer something different from other events and venues like the AMC, the Ryder film series and the IU Cinema, McInery said.

They also want to show Indiana and the Midwest to filmmakers from around the world.

“The Midwest has a lot to offer,” McInerney said. “We want to see the stories of people who live in the Midwest on screens. We don’t just want to see Manhattan.”

Films in the lineup this year are set in the Midwest and United States heartland.

“The Fits” is described as a “psychological portrait” of an 11-year-old tomboy in Cincinnati’s West End. “Transpecos” is a thriller about three Border Patrol officers in the Texas desert.

“Some Beasts” follows the emotional journey of a “modern-day Thoreau” in Appalachia.

The critically-acclaimed “Krisha,” which premiered at SXSW in 2015, will be followed by a Q&A session with lead actress Krisha Fairchild.

The film is a drama that depicts Krisha’s first Thanksgiving with her family after 10 years. It won the 2015

SXSW Grand Jury Award for Narrative Feature.

Audiences enjoy the access they have to filmmakers due to Middle Coast’s interactive nature, McInerny said, while filmmakers appreciate the smaller scale and intimacy.

“They always say, ‘I never get treated as well as I do at your festival,’” McInerny said.

She said filmmakers have felt pressure to network with a large amount of people with big names at bigger festivals, while Middle Coast allows for a sense of community.

Middle Coast is going beyond a single weekend to bring filmmakers to Indiana.

One of the interactive events planned is a panel with a group that will lobby the General Assembly for a tax credit for people filming projects in the state.

“We’re asking filmmakers, ‘What’s it like to film in Georgia?’ where they have a great tax incentive,” McInerney said. “We need examples to bring to our legislators.”

The tax incentive panel includes IU Cinema director Jon Vickers and legislators like Democratic lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Christina Hale.

It is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 28, at Blueline Media Productions.

IU is launching a multiyear Bay View Alliance project that uses data analytics to “improve student learning, retention and success.”

This is all part of the school’s Scholarship of Teaching and Learning program, a community of faculty members and professionals working locally, nationally and internationally in an effort to better post-secondary education.

The BVA is in conjunction with the Student Learning Analytics Fellows Program which, similar to the BVA, uses learning analytics to foster further student achievement through “the systematic collection, exploration and analysis of data describing students, their observable activities, and outcomes,” according to a release.

The BVA is a network of nine research universities in the United States and Canada that works on creating the most efficient teaching and learning environment to enable the cultural change that leads to the adoption of improved teaching methods.

The BVA made the announcement about the new student learning analytics initiative during its semiannual steering committee meeting in Washington, D.C., in June. The organization met at the offices of the Association of American Universities, which has been working with the alliance to improve the learning experience at research-intensive universities.

Its member institutions are the University of British Columbia, Queens University and the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, as well as the University of Colorado, the University of California, Davis, IU, the University of Kansas, the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and the University of Texas.

Lorne Whitehead, program director of the BVA told IU that since its inception five years ago, the program has sought to, with the evergrowing wealth of data they are collecting, bring forth the cutting edge of innovation to teaching and learning in higher education.

George Rehrey, director of the Scholarship of Teach-

ing and Learning Program at IU, and Dennis Groth, vice provost for undergraduate education at IU, are heading this initiative on campus.

“The purpose of the SLA Fellows program is to enable faculty to have access to George SLA data Rehrey and to conduct Scholarship of Teaching and Learning research using that data,” Rehrey said.

“At this point each faculty member and each campus is conducting their own studies. Faculty collaborate and work in conjunction with the Bloomington Assessment and Research Office, whose staff are responsible for providing SLA data in a form that will be useable to the faculty.”

This learning analytics program follows the successful launch last year of another BVA initiative, known as TRESTLE, to hire teaching specialists in STEM fields at six member universities, including IU, and create a network of partners across campuses.

TRESTLE last year received a $2.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation.

Groth told IU that collaboration with the BVA, as shown through the TRESTLE initiative, “broadens our ability to improve student learning outcomes,” according to the release.

“Our Vice Provost for undergraduate education has past experience working with big data,” Rehrey said.

“When he was appointed to the position a few years ago he made it one of his priorities that SLA data would be made available to IUB administrators faculty, and staff and as they make curricular and co-curricular decisions about student success on our campus.”

Rehrey said the program is now in an early stage.

“The outcomes we are hoping for is that academic advisors and teachers will be able to help students make better informed decisions when it comes to choosing or changing a major and graduating within four years,” Rehrey said.

Comedy Attic sold out a week ahead for Marc Maron From IDS reports

Marc Maron, who has been a performing comedian for more than 20 years, is coming to the Comedy Attic for performances July 28, 29 and 30.

All shows were sold out almost a week in advance.

Maron is a comedian, podcaster, writer, actor, musician, director and producer. He performed stand-up for the first time at 24 years old, in the late 1980s.

Maron said he grew up around a love of comedy, according to an interview with the Believer.

“I found a great deal of relief and excitement watching comics when I was very young,” he said.

“My grandmother was very into them and so was my grandfather.”

After beginning his career in Los Angeles, Maron moved to New York to become part of the New York alternative comedy scene.

His comedy experience then jump-started a television career.

Maron’s voice appeared on episodes of “Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist,” and he recorded halfhour specials for HBO and “Comedy Central Presents.”

In the early 2000s, Maron became involved in

MARC MARON Tickets: Soldout 8 p.m. Thursday 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday 8 and 10:30 p.m. Saturday The Comedy Attic radio, co-hosting “Morning Sedition” with Mark Riley.

He started “The Marc Maron Show” a couple years later.

Most recently, Maron began a twice-weekly podcast called “WTF with Marc Maron,” which features interviews with other comedians, both people he knows and acquaintances.

Maron and his guests discuss their careers, shared experiences and stories from touring together.

On the show, Maron has famously interviewed Robin Williams, Ben Stiller and Barack Obama.

Maron said he started the podcast because at the time he didn’t know what else to do.

“I had nothing going on, and I was working with a guy who’s a genius radioproducer, and I said, ‘Let’s try this,’” he said in the Believer.

Maron will perform at 8 p.m. July 28 and at 8 and 10:30 p.m. July 29 and 30.
