reshman Elizabeth Ketzner and her father, Brian Ketzner, leaned over her Hewlett-Packard laptop on Oct. 3 at small table on the second floor of Wells Library’s east tower. With the help of a 1998 interview from the IU Archives, Elizabeth was about to hear the voice of her grandfather for the first time in almost 18 years. The file didn’t play when she first clicked on it. Elizabeth was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to hear it. Or that her dad had driven to campus for nothing. Or that it wouldn’t be what she imagined. “Maybe it takes a while,” she said. Joe Ketzner died just seven months after Elizabeth was born, so even though he had held her and talked with her as a baby, she didn’t remember what he sounded like. She imagined a deep voice, fit for the patriarch her family had always
described, but she couldn’t be sure. Even in death, he is celebrated by the Ketzner family. They go to mass for him every year on his birthday and threw a big party when he would have turned 100 this past spring, but Elizabeth felt she was missing a connection with her grandpa that brought the rest of the family together. “He’s always been an idea,” she said.

*** IU President Michael McRobbie recognized the importance of University collections in his State of the University address Tuesday, Oct. 10. He said he wanted to expand the
preservation efforts to protect the importance of their materials. As much as they protect academia and history, these collections also help people like Elizabeth make personal connections to their school. Elizabeth said having the interview reminded her of the University’s new slogan: “IU is home.” “I literally found a part of my home, and it’s crazy,” she said. A cousin learned about the interview a few days earlier when looking into family history, Elizabeth said. Because the cousin goes to Purdue, she couldn’t access the file because it was in the IU Archives, so she asked Elizabeth to do it instead. That night, Elizabeth called her dad and told him the news. Later, in a series of texts with her family, he decided he’d come up to be with he when she listened to it so that he could hear his father again. Elizabeth went to the Archives on the fourth floor of Wells to ask SEE VOICE, PAGE 5
Pair of freshmen help IU get past Ohio State Native
dangers in Dunn Woods

IU’s freshman class continued its impressive play Sunday against Ohio State. IU’s first goal of the game came on a strike by freshman attacker Mason Toye after freshman attacker Griffin Dorsey found Toye behind Ohio State’s backline. It would be the first of the two goals scored in the game, and the first goal of Toye’s brace en route to his seventh and eighth goals of the season and a 2-0 IU win. “It was an awesome pass from Griff,” Toye said. “He made it really easy for me by freezing the center back with his pass, and all I had to do was make a good first touch and win a one-on-one situation. I know I’m going to score those, but it really all started with Griff.” Toye’s second came from junior defender Andrew Gutman’s cross from a few yards to the left of the post, which was then tapped in by the striker while fending off a Buckeye defender from behind. It would be the only two goals the No. 1-ranked Hoosiers would need to get their fourth conference win of the season. The Hoosiers slide back into second place in the Big Ten with one game in hand against firstplaced Maryland. Toye has been the most consistent striker for the Hoosiers so far this season, and he said he’s noticed he’s been more comfortable as the season has progressed. “I really don’t have to worry about us giving up a goal,” Toye said. “Coach is giving me some more minutes each game because I’ve been able to earn it, but I’m getting more and more comfortable with this team and this system every game.” IU Coach Todd Yeagley praised his striker after the game and said he really liked the way Toye played outside of his two goals he scored.

Freshman forward Griffin Dorsey celebrates with Mason Toye after assisting on Toye's first-half goal against Ohio State Sunday afternoon at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
“He kept fighting for balls in the air,” Yeagley said. “I thought he held the ball up a bit better today against some big center backs, and that enabled us to get some more bodies forward. He made some really nice runs, and I thought he had a really nice game outside of his two goals. He loves scoring, and he’s learning that all goals are nice, no matter how you strike them.” It was the eighth straight victory and clean sheet for the Hoosiers, extending their program record of consecutive shutouts in the process. IU hasn’t given up a goal in nearly 780 minutes. Junior midfielder Francesco Moore said the team remains focused on its goals, no matter how many wins or records they accumulate.
“We’ve won 12 games, tied two, and haven’t lost yet, but they don’t hand out trophies for going undefeated through 14 games,” Moore said. “We want to win the Big Ten regular season, we want to win the Big Ten Championship, and we want to win the National Championship. Every single game is a stepping stone to get to that point, and staying focused and locked in training and giving every team the same respect will help get us to our goal.” As the regular season nears its end, the postseason is on the horizon for the Hoosiers, and according to Moore, they can feel it coming up because of how cold it’s getting. Even though it’s starting to get chilly in Bloomington, Moore said the team loves it and is fueled by it in a way. “We love it because in the past
few years Sunday afternoon games have been extremely hot, so having these cold games, or ‘run all day’ weather is what we like to call it, makes us run around and make tackles,” Moore said. “We love cold weather because it means the postseason is right around the corner.” The Hoosiers had another element to feel good about after Sunday’s win. Freshman attacker Justin Rennicks made his 2017 season debut after being sidelined with a foot injury throughout the year. “He’s a really talented player,” Toye said of his striker teammate. “He’s getting back into the groove of things, but just his movement on and off the ball, you can see that all he needs to do is get his game fitness back, and he’ll be back to the way he was before his injury.”

For years, layers of dark green plants carpeted Dunn Woods. As they snaked through the forest, the plants, called purple wintercreepers, stole space, water and nutrients from neighboring plants. “They spread and spread and spread,” IU landscape architect Mia Williams said. Members of the Bloomington Urban Woodlands project have countered with their own efforts over the past seven years. They went out into the woods and plucked purple wintercreepers by hand. “Those native plants that were just buried under the layers of purple leaf wintercreeper were coaxed out,” Williams said. The purple wintercreeper is an example of an invasive species that had spread through Dunn Woods and other wooded areas in Bloomington, she said. While patches of purple wintercreepers remained, she said the project members’ efforts had allowed other plant populations to bounce back. IU biology associate professor Heather Reynolds, head of the project, said supporting native plant populations while removing invasive species was one major goal of the project. She said if non-native species turned invasive and SEE PLANTS, PAGE 3
