In the days after Kelly Hackendahl’s death, her friends made a list of phrases that described her: “Real, selfless.” “The glue that held us all together.” “Extraordinary.” The IU junior from Libertyville, Ill., died unexpectedly Thursday night, only five days after celebrating her 20th birthday. Kelly will be missed by her parents Craig and Jodi, her sister Jenna, 26, and her brother Mark, 24. Jenna had just gotten engaged, and Hackendahl would have been her maid of honor, said junior Alex McKinley, one of Hackendahl’s roommates in the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. Hackendahl was a bubbly, fun-loving girl who could make friends with anyone, McKinley said, sitting on the swing in front of the Zeta house — one of Hackendahl’s favorite spots. “That’s how Kelly will always be to me now, young at heart,” McKinley said. The education major dreamed of becoming a high school government teacher,

said Hackendahl’s close friend, senior Darcy Patterson. She loved reading the news, and her roommates would constantly wake up to Hackendahl’s updates on current events or conspiracy theories about the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. She planned to someday get a tattoo of the word “inspire,” Patterson said. “She wanted to inspire people,” Patterson said. “That’s why she wanted to be a teacher.” Hackendahl was a fearless leader and a member of her Libertyville High School dance team for four years, said Grace Ahern, her friend from high school and a junior at the University of Dayton. Ahern remembered one day in gym class when the dance team members were asked to perform a solo in front of the class. Hackendahl was the only one who stepped up, performing an impromptu dance to “Respect” by Aretha Franklin, lip-synching all of the words. “You couldn’t be mad around her,” Ahern said. “She had the weirdest, quirkiest sense of humor.” She loved driving to Griffy Lake with her SEE HACKENDAHL, PAGE 8

Hoosiers utilize sniffers, bagels By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

IU scored a pair of sniffers over the weekend and recorded a bagel. A bagel is what IU Coach Todd Yeagley calls a shutout. A sniffer is what Yeagley calls a goal scored from a rebound, and they are how IU scored its only two goals in the IU Credit Union Classic. Sunday’s sniffer came from freshman Michael Riedford off of a rebound from sophomore

Tanner Thompson’s shot. It was the only goal in IU’s 1-0 win against Marquette, which made them co-champions of the classic. “Coach always capitalizes sniffers during practice,” Reidford said. “Rebounds are a big thing. Tanner looked me off. I knew he was going to shoot. The shot took a deflection, the keeper made a good save but fortunately I was there.” The first sniffer came against Georgetown on SEE SOCCER, PAGE 8

Disapproval high, retention rate high for US Congress By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyernsberger

Labor Day weekend is not only a marker of summer’s end — it also kicks off election campaign season. Two months remain until the midterm election Nov. 4, when many United States congress members are up for reelection, including all nine representatives

from Indiana. Recent polling has indicated that this year, American’s low approval of the polarized Congress will foster some turnover for the next term. However, all nine of Indiana’s representatives are projected to keep their seats. According to a Gallup research poll conducted last month, only 19 percent of registered voters in the U.S. believe most members of

20-40% OFF

Congress should be reelected. This is the lowest reelection approval of all-time, according to the poll. Also historically low is Americans’ satisfaction with their own representatives. The recent Gallup poll indicated 50 percent of voters believe their representatives deserve to keep their seat. This gap — between opinions on members of Congress deserving reelection and wanting an individual representa-

tive to stay in office — is the widest it has ever been in a midterm year. This, historically, would indicate a higher-than-average turnover rate in Congress. That higher-than-average turnover rate, however, is not as large as one might expect. Election models at the Washington Post indicate seven districts across the nation will see a change in the party representing them. All are
