Tutor pleads guilty to rape

IDS INDIANA DAILY STUDENT | IDSNEWS.COM
From IDS reports
Benjamin Haile, a former tutor at Pinnacle School, pleaded guilty to one charge of child molestation Tuesday, according to Monroe Circuit Court records. He also pleaded guilty to rape and sexual misconduct with a minor. According to his Facebook, Haile worked at Kilroy’s Sports Bar. Haile, 21, was arrested in 2012 when a seven-year-old girl at Pinnacle, a nonprofit school devoted to helping children with dyslexia, said he touched her inappropriately at school. She reportedly told police she was sitting on Haile’s lap while watching a movie at school and Haile put his hands into her pants and down her shirt. Haile was 19 years old at the time. On Feb. 2, 2015, Haile was also booked into Monroe County Jail for new offenses of rape level 3, meaning the victim is unaware of the act, and sexual misconduct with a minor, according to court records. Though Haile pleaded guilty, a representative from the Office of Circuit Court Judge Marc Kellams said Haile has not been sentenced. Procedure requires the completion of a pre-sentence investigation report by the Monroe County Probation Department. Judgment is withheld until the investigation is complete. Haile’s sentencing hearing will take place at 11 a.m. Nov. 10 at the Monroe Circuit Court for all offenses, according to court records. Annie Garau
Council votes to fund shelter Cora Henry corahenr@indiana.edu | @coraghenry
The Bloomington City Council voted 9-0 to appropriate $15,000 to keep open the Community Sheltering Project, formerly Martha’s House, for the rest of the year. “(The appropriation will) give us a chance to regroup and see what we can do to continue in the future,” council member Tim Mayer said. A special session of the council met at 7:30 p.m. Thursday to vote on funds to keep the homeless shelter running. Martha’s House declared bankruptcy earlier this year. Perry Township and other local organizations and donors supported the shelter through the summer. “Sometimes it takes the threat of losing something to rally,” council member Susan Sandberg said. “It came too close to closing.” Sandberg said too often people assume others will step up to fill needs, and Bloomington cannot afford to lose any support for the homeless. The $15,000 will come from the Jack Hopkins Social Services funding program, which supports local programs that provide food, shelter and healthcare to disadvantaged populations. “It fits within the spirit of the Jack Hopkins fund,” council member Darryl Neher said of the decision. Every council member who spoke praised the appropriation. “This appropriation is a tangible step toward putting our money where our mouth is,” Representative Stephen Volan said. He said in past years he heard assumptions being made about homeless, and he said he is pleased with the current conversation. Rev. Forrest Gilmore of the Shalom Community Center thanked the council for addressing the issue. He was part of the board that kept the shelter from closing this summer and he said the proposal reached the council through a community effort. A collaboration between Perry Township, the board, city and council kept the shelter open, but they did not have sufficient funds for the rest of the year until SEE SHELTER, PAGE 6
The music studio Russian Recording has redone not only their studio, but also its business style, focusing on creating music and releasing concept albums.
Russian Recording’s revival has included new equipment, new furniture and repainting, a process owner Mike Bridavsky said he has found therapeutic.

Having recently redone the interior and stopped the numerous house shows that were played at the studio, owner Mike Bridavsky said he wants to focus on making great music and concept albums. By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackEvans
Mike Bridavsky said he knew he wanted to spend his life making records when he was 14 years old. It was sometime around his early high school years, around the time he got a cassette four-track, around the time he and his friends, instead of going to parties and getting drunk, would go to his house and spend the nights recording “really weird stuff,” like adaptations of the songs sung by the dwarves in J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit.” “I didn’t really think I could make it as a musician, but the combination of science and magic together is really perfect,” he said. “You have something people need from you that can also be creative. I was like, ‘Dude, that’s perfect.’” Two decades later, Bridavsky is 12 years into the existence of Russian Recording, his Bloomington-based recording studio. Though the studio has consistently
worked with Bloomington staples such as Good Luck, Turn Pale and Busman’s Holiday and notable figures in the greater indie music scene such as Mac Demarco and Magnolia Electric Co., 2015 marks something of a revival for the studio and for his dream job. The revival — “almost a grand reopening,” as Bridavsky said — involves interior decorating and Lil BUB, Bridavsky’s cat, who skyrocketed to fame a few years ago. “My cat got really famous a while ago, and that came at a time when I was pretty jaded on recording,” he said. “I was in financial despair because the studio cost so much money. I was also just in a funk and pretty grumpy about recording.” Lil BUB’s sudden fame helped relieve Bridavsky’s financial stress, and when studio manager Kyle Houpt started working at Russian last year, Bridavsky decided to make some changes at the studio. About a year ago, the studio stopped having shows, which it had done for a time.
Read more about Lil BUB Lil BUB helped this studio owner keep his business afloat. Check out the story of Bloomington’s Lil BUB in Tuesday’s IDS. Bridavsky said he had started to get more emails about having shows than about recording bands, and he said he didn’t want Russian to become known more as a venue than a studio. Furthermore, he said the physical element of the shows put too much stress on him. “People would trash the place, and some shows would be like 200 people, and there was graffiti all over the bathroom,” he said. “There was a time in my life I thought that was cool, and I could party and hang out with people. But I’ve got a kid now. I’m married, and I have too much work to do. The idea of having a show in my recording studio is the SEE RECORDS, PAGE 6
Experts discuss sustainability accountability By Julie Masterson julmaste@indiana.edu
Students and faculty gathered Thursday to debate who is accountable for sustainability. The School of Public and Environmental Affairs, in collaboration with the Integrated Program in the Environment, the IU Office of Sustainability and the ISOS Center for Social Responsibility presented “Who’s Responsible for Sustainability?” a public panel featuring speakers addressing the topic of sustainability from public, private and nonprofit perspectives. Kent Richards, a professor of environmental economics and policy at SPEA, as well as an affiliated professor of law at the Maurer School of Law, organized the event. Richards said the panel was spurred by SPEA’s recent review of its sustainability concentration, which resulted in 19 recommendations for strengthening the concentration. Among the many goals identified within the review, Richards said two were particularly important. “First, we set the goal of providing our students and the greater Indiana community with the opportunity for training in the skills, standards and
concepts that are critical for sustainability professions,” Richards said. “Second is the goal of providing our students with an understanding of sustainability that incorporates private, government and not-for-profit sectors to create a truly tri-sectoral approach.” Richards said the panel marks one of the first small steps in reaching these goals. In order to provide a breadth of perspective on the topic, the panel included four speakers from a variety of backgrounds and expertise. “What will emerge, we believe, is an exciting program that prepares students for careers and fluency in the field of sustainability,” Richards said. First to speak was Karen Cecil, the director of global environmental sustainability at Cummins, which is a corporation of complementary business units that design, distribute, manufacture and service diesel and natural gas engines and related technologies, according to the company’s website. Cecil is responsible for the company’s global and environmental strategy and goal setting, including business integration and measuring. She is also responsible for em-

ployee engagement, environmental relations and external reporting. “The business community has an important role to play in sustainability,” Cecil said. Outlining the company’s strategy, Cecil explained the steps Cummins is taking to become a more sustainable company.
“We have the resources, we have employees who care and want to be part of the solution, we have problem-solving skills and tools,” Cecil said. “So really, a win for the environment is a win for Cummins, it’s a win for all business, it’s a win for our SEE PANEL, PAGE 6
IU alumni anticipate conflicts of interest in athletics partnership By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @trlehman_IU
The IU Media School announced Tuesday that it officially agreed to a partnership with IU Athletics. The partnership is a close collaboration between not only IU Athletics and the Media School, but also the Cuban Center, which will open in the spring of 2017, and the National Sports Journalism Center, which moved from IUPurdue University Indianapolis to IU-Bloomington in early Septem-
ber. While both sides present broadened opportunities for Media School students, IU journalism alumni see a conflict of interest within the partnership. “What is the point of the partnership?” said Michael Sanserino, 2009 graduate and former Indiana Daily Student editor-in-chief. “Schools across the country are developing internship relationships without partnerships. It’s just too close of a relationship for comfort.” According to a Media School
press release Tuesday, the partnership will provide advanced coverage of IU sports and allow students to use the high-end technology that will be housed by the Cuban Center, as well as open up more career and internship possibilities. The negative backlash in reaction to the announcement came as a surprise to new director of NSJC Galen Clavio, who has served as an assistant professor of sports administration at IU for six years. “The reactions I’ve seen made
me think that people thought that we hadn’t already thought about all of these things,” Clavio said about the conflicts of interest. “I think when people saw the announcement, they thought, ‘Oh, here we go. The Media School is going to do the Athletic Department’s bidding.’ Nothing could be further from the truth. I don’t think there are going to be many conflicts.” IU Athletics Assistant Director Jeremy Gray said the main SEE PARTNERSHIP, PAGE 6

Bloomingcon to come to IMU By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu @Anne_Halliwell
Role-playing fans from across campus and in Bloomington can come together for the 2015 Bloomingcon convention. The convention will last from Saturday to Sunday with a schedule of events, Noon to 7 p.m. Saturday and Noon to 6 p.m. Sunday for participants, with locations throughout the Indiana Memorial Union. Featuring a first-time partnership with the Pathfinder Society, the convention will bring in participants across the tri-state area. Pathfinder, a fantasy-adventure role-playing game, allows players to create a character online and track
their progress through any Pathfinder game in any location. Junior Jack Harmening, the director of the Union Board’s games and electronic entertainment committee, said the convention is shooting for an increase in attendance from last year. “Last year was the first, and we had, I think, 90 people show up,” he said. About 40 students have pre-registered for Saturday and Sunday, Harmening added, and the partnership with the Pathfinder Society has brought in another 50 or so attendees, some from other states like Kentucky and Tennessee. Many more students will attend the convention on one or both days without pre-registering. The Pathfinder partner-
ship should be a mutually beneficial arrangement, Harmening said, as the interests of IU students and Pathfinder players might overlap. “Pathfinder events are kind of a struggle logistically,” he said. “You need a large room and a lot of time.” To that end, the Pathfinder Society will have several hours-long events Saturday and Sunday, Harmening said, using the space for longer than any other group or initiative at Bloomingcon. They will also have a panel Sunday afternoon, according to the current Bloomingcon schedule. “We’ve ... said that was a good thing, since we want these rooms to be full,” Harmening said. “Anytime (the Pathfinder players) wander
out or want a break ... they’ll be in the other rooms, at the panels.” Harmening said the Pathfinder Society would be involved with Friday’s IMU Late Nite events as one more way to drum up participation in the game. Another goal of the convention is to feature local artists and vendors who may specialize in fandom-based art or writing. “Some people contact us — there has been an effort to reach out (to last year’s vendors),” Harmening said. The remaining student and community artists were contacted through Union Board members’ social, academic and professional netSEE BLOOMINGCON, PAGE 3
The School of Public Health will break out the party hats Friday for the first IU School of Public Health-Bloomington Day. According to an IU release, campus leaders and the city of Bloomington proclaimed Friday School of Public Health-Bloomington Day. It is meant to emphasize the role the school has in promoting health and wellness to both IU and the Bloomington community. “More than anything it’s that the school is here to serve an important function that bridges the Indiana UniversityBloomington campus and reaches into the city and broader community,” said Charles Rondot, director of marketing and communications for SPH. The SPH addresses some of the biggest public health challenges of the day, like smoking, food choices and lack of physical and mental activity, said Mohammad Torabi, dean of SPH and chancellor’s professor. “Our school is perfectly positioned to take these challenges on through research, teaching and community engagement,” Torabi said. The school works not just on campus, but also in the community. The whole community is invited to IU School of Public Health-Bloomington Day. “We’re unique as a school on campus because not only do we conduct important research and
teach the next generation of practitioners, preparing them for both rewarding and in-demand careers, but we also play an important role across the campus and throughout our local and regional community in so many ways,” Torabi said. School of Public Health-Bloomington Day’s main event will be the “Campus and Community Fall Celebration” from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday. The event will have food and drinks as well as live jazz music, performed by a jazz trio from the Jacobs School of Music, on the lawn west of the SPH building. “From our local coordination of the IU World Heart Day Walk and role in multidisciplinary research and teaching, to helping surrounding communities understand and develop effective responses to critical public health priorities, our mission is woven into the fabric of the lives of those many important people we serve,” Torabi said in the release. The day is coming just a few days before IU World Heart Day Walk, which SPH organizes. The walk is set to begin at noon Tuesday, Sept. 29 at the Sample Gates. “Most importantly, I will say that School of Public Health-Bloomington Day is a celebration for all of us since all of us are impacted at a fundamental level by the concepts our school and our community stand for,” Torabi said. “Health and wellness are the foundation of happy, productive and fulfilling lives.”
IUSA announces 2015 class of 21 freshman interns By Nyssa Kruse nakruse@indiana.edu | @nyssakruse
The IU Student Association chose freshman interns for the semester this past Sunday. The 21 selected students were each assigned to work with a senior member of the administration and they will work with their mentor on whatever work the senior member is pursuing, said Daniel Niersbach, director of the freshman internship program. Iman Mahoui is a freshman intern assigned to work with Jessica Chiang, the chief of policy. Mahoui said he wants to work on issues
involving sexual assault on campus, and she said she feels especially excited to be part of IUSA because many members of the administration bring new talent. “It’s such a diverse and well-rounded program that does so many things and touches so many students,” Mahoui said. “It’s internal, it’s external. It works within IU, and it works with relations outside of IU. I really, really loved the idea of such an allencompassing organization and to be able to be a part of that.” Niersbach said the internship provides the opportunity to work directly on policy and projects, as well as take an
eight-week course. The course focuses on professional and leadership skills, such as compiling a résumé and different communication styles. It also offers opportunities to collaborate and talk to people from different parts of campus, such as Steve Veldkamp, assistant dean of students and director of Student Life and Learning. “Being able to be introduced to IUSA, especially as a freshman, you learn so much about campus,” Mahoui said. “When you’re representing a campus, you have to try to learn everything about it — about the students, about the departments, about the campus itself, the physical
environment. It’s definitely a way for me to get closer to campus, to be more involved, learn new things, and I don’t think there’s any better time to do that than as a freshman, which is why the program is super unique.” The application process for becoming an intern had two parts. In the first part, interested freshmen sent in résumés and answered essay questions. Then, those who advanced participated in group interviews where they were asked questions, such as what area on campus they wanted to improve. They were also given a “case,” wherein the group worked together to solve a hypothetical

problem. Niersbach said the point of the group setting was to see who could lead from the front by asking questions and directing others, as well as lead from the back by listening to what others say and analyzing their ideas. “We wanted to make sure they weren’t cutting other people out and weren’t afraid to step in,” Niersbach said. “Students who included teammates had the best interviews.” Niersbach said another goal of the internship program is long-term growth for IUSA. Many current senior staff members, including Niersbach, were once in-
terns, and freshman interns can potentially return to IUSA as members of future administrations. However, Niersbach said, being a part of the internship program does not determine who can be involved with IUSA in the future and said IUSA members want anyone interested in making a difference on campus to get involved. “The resources and networks I was able to build have been probably one of the most rewarding parts of my freshman year because everyone in IUSA is driven to make campus better,” Niersbach said. “It inspired me to work harder and be better.”

works, he said. Many of the vendors will be hobbyists or part-time creators, Harmening said, which could help expose IU students to people with similar interests outside of the University. “For a lot of the people, it’s going to be their first time at an event with this kind of structure,” Harmening said. “Hopefully not their last.” IU organizations such as the Harry Potter Society and the Japanese Anime and Culture Club will present at Bloomingcon, as well as individual students. Themes include “Lolita Fashion 101,” “Marvel: Building a Cinematic Universe” and “Debunking the Myths of the Geek Girl,” ac-
cording to the current online panel schedule. “It kind of skews toward being an anime convention in terms of audience, but we’re hoping with (the Late Nite participation) that we’ll attract some people who love pop culture and films in general,” Harmening said. Attendees with an interest in online gaming could potentially learn how to launch their own products, as well. “I’m really excited for Super Tea Studios, which is one of our panelists,” Harmening said. “They’re going to talk about publishing through Steam.” Steam is an online game publisher that asks users either to submit or rate games through a platform called “Greenlight.” Harmening said the Super Tea pitch called Steam “the indie path” to game design, which they will discuss for an hour Saturday.
“In their description, they called it the ‘rabbit hole’ in how stressful and crazy it is to do that,” Harmening said. Harmening said some of the Bloomingcon panelists applied through the Union Board’s website, but the board’s members contacted other clubs on campus as well to try to include a range of interests. Harmening said he pulled up a list of student organizations at IU at one point and looked for any group that seemed to have a fandom theme. “I really like that method,” Harmening said. “I think it goes back to the purpose of the event in the first place, which is that people are really excited about the things that they like, and if you give them the opportunity or prod them a little bit, they’ll come up with some cool ideas.”

Delta Phi Epsilion had a “Throw Back Thursday” event Thursday evening in Dunn Meadow in support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. DPhie’s #TBT gave everyone a blast from the past with childhood cartoon nostalgia and entertaining children’s games.
Event throws back for Cystic Fibrosis charity By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu @Anne_Halliwell
The sun set over Dunn Meadow as Delta Phi Epsilon pitted childhood memories against cystic fibrosis. The #TBT with DPhiE event Thursday evening raised money for the sorority’s national philanthropy by offering childhood favorites like cartoons, inflatables and games to college students. Leslie Palans, DPhiE’s vice president of programming, said throwing back to students’ memories from the ‘90s would let them appreciate the simplicity of their own experiences. “We thought that a lot of kids with cystic fibrosis don’t have a normal childhood because they’re in and out of the children’s hospital with breathing treatments,” Palans said. “We want every kid to have a childhood.” Attendees paid $10 at the entrance but could also purchase tank tops for an additional $10 to $15. “Our goal is between two to three thousand (dollars),” Palans said. After paying for the food and activities, she said the money would go directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, DPhiE’s national philanthropy. Palans said the sorority used daily hashtags to raise awareness of the event and contacted other members of the Greek community. Students sat in circles holding paper plates with dinosaur nuggets, Oreo dirt cups and lemonade in their laps. “Rugrats” episodes played on a wide screen on the grass. Tables were set up with

Mollie Levin, a sister in DPhiE, shaded a kitten in one of the coloring books sitting nearby. “When we’re done, we’re going to send them to the kids in the hospital to send them cheer,” Levin said. The telecommunications junior said she planned to write an uplifting message in the margins and said she hoped others would do the same. “I want to send positive vibes over to the kids to make sure they know they’re in our prayers and our thoughts,” she said. Caitlyn Huynh, a contemporary dance senior in DPhiE, hurtled with Frankie Allen through a multi-colored inflatable obstacle course. “There’s a lot of people here who are Riley people, and I like Riley people, so I’m having fun,” Frankie said. Frankie came to the event with her adopted sister and mother, Zoe and Cheryl Allen. Zoe was diagnosed with
cystic fibrosis at birth and has been involved with the IU Dance Marathon for several years. “Things like this help (Zoe) because she sees people come out, and I think it raises attention to the disease that she does need to take care of herself,” Cheryl said. In cystic fibrosis patients, a defective gene causes mucus to build up in the lungs, pancreas and other organs, complicating breathing and food digestion. Zoe has a gastronomy tube that delivers nutrition directly to her stomach. Cheryl, who works at Campus Card Services in the Indiana Memorial Union, said her girls love being at IU and spending time with the fraternities and sororities on campus. “I can’t thank them enough — Zoe feels loved here,” Cheryl Allen said. “Sometimes you have to step outside of the family unit and be accepted, and Frankie and Zoe never feel more loved than when they’re here.”

Firefighters learn how to rescue people in the event of a trench collapse in a training Thursday morning.
Firefighters practice rescues By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6
The Bloomington Fire Department’s dummy, a pretend man made of coiled fire hose, has had a rough week. He has fallen into ditches, gotten stuck under rocks and been buried under hundreds of pounds of dirt all in the name of the department’s second trench rescue training. The weeklong program, which began Sept. 21, teaches firefighters how to rescue workers who are trapped in the event of a trench collapse. These kinds of collapses are the leading cause of death in construction
accidents, according to a city press release. “In the private sector, time is money and money is time,” said Todd Taylor, an instructor with Advanced Rescue Solutions. “They don’t spend the time to make the trenches safe.” Around 15 firefighters participated in the training, which will bring all of Bloomington’s tactical rescue team personnel up-to-date with this discipline. High school students from the Hoosier Hills Fire Science Program are also undergoing the training. The drills are taking place in a dirt trench at the IU Campus Division Storage.
The trainees surround the Lshaped hole equipped with dozens of different types of tools like buckets, shovels and low-pressure air bags. Under the threat of caveins, these rescues can take a long time to do properly. The one completed Thursday morning took two hours. “You’re not going to be able to make a quick rescue or even a quick entrance into the tunnel,” Sgt. Brandon Hudson said. “It’s a very slow and precise training.” Tania Daffron, the battalion chief of training, explained the fire department does much more than fight fires. They are called for water leaks, medical issues and
even domestic disturbances. This training will help them address another need in Bloomington. “Any new building construction, I-69 construction, anything with gas pipes, water pipes — you’re going to be building trenches like these,” Daffron said. Before the Bloomington department began this training, departments in Fort Wayne, Indiana; Fishers, Indiana; Evansville, Indiana; and Indianapolis were the only groups in the state certified in this type of rescue. “There was a big gap,” Taylor said. “Now you’ve got the city of Bloomington to fill that.
Class teaches winter gardening tips By Emily Beck emebeck@indiana.edu | @emebeck1
The second class in a two-part series called Winter Harvest and Season Extension took place Thursday night at Hilltop Gardens. As the golden hour passed by outside, five women sat inside the classroom with open notebooks filled with jottings about greenhouse building, defense against pests and how to grow indoor crops. Instructor Rhonda Baird spoke about greenhouse construction and growing plants in winter. The class was planned by the Center for Sustainable Living, the Bloomington Parks & Recreation Department, and Hilltop Garden and Nature Center. Posters with butterflies, bees, children and flowers covered the walls. A beetle crawled across the floor as a breeze blew in the wideopen doors. A boy doodled little green sprouts on a white board, which Baird used to draw the constraints of a hypothetical greenhouse. “These workshops give
people a chance to explore with new ideas around gardening,” Baird said. “Now ... people are putting more emphasis on food security or growing their own vegetables and there’s more interest and pride in doing that.” Baird, who owns the permaculture design business Sheltering Hills Design, said more and more people in Bloomington want to grow their own food year-round. She said they want fresh, local and nutritious food and she wants to help spread knowledge about how to make that happen. She gave advice about planting schedules, but she spent most of the class discussing greenhouses. “If you’re building a greenhouse, that’s a big investment,” she said. Maren Foley, a mother of two, took the class to learn more about gardening. Her boys, who are nine and 12 years old, both have raised beds where they grow vegetables like lettuce, radishes, kale and carrots. Foley said she was glad Baird talked so much about greenhouses be-
cause her family is interested in possibly constructing one and expanding their garden. “That’s not something we’re familiar with yet, and that’s the stuff we’d like to take next,” she said. The family also participates in a church community garden, which initially sparked their interest in gardening on a larger scale and growing their own food. “It seemed like a great way for the kids to learn both a practical skill and learn some of the more important character-building skills,” Foley said. “When you garden, you learn patience, you learn respect for labor ... I thought it was a really great project for the kids.” Foley said she thinks many people are interested in growing food for themselves and Bloomington residents are lucky because of the number of classes available in the area. Hannah Marriott, IU senior and community farmers market and community garden intern for the parks department, said the classes are good because they offer citizens basic information about
gardening and a connection to a teacher who is available to further their knowledge and answer questions. “It’s helpful that people are taking the initiative to feed themselves,” Marriott said, adding it is both an affordable and sustainable way to live. Baird said most of her motivation for educating people comes from her interest in community resilience and keeping Bloomington strong. “With climate change, the more unpredictable our seasons are, the more important it is to have the materials and skills to know how to adapt to unpredictable weather in order to protect our investment in local food production,” Baird said. “So the more people that are familiar with these techniques, the more they can share with their neighbors and friends and allies, the more resilient our community becomes.” Baird said she wishes more university-age students would attend classes. “I think what people get out of it is definitely worth it,” she said.
In Level Up, the Monroe County Public Library’s new digital creativity space, “Oh yeah, and HAVE FUN!” is the ending message on the whiteboard. Maintaining the joy of learning is a fundamental element in the library’s new mentoring program. The program utilizes both this space, available to all ages, and the Ground Floor, a space for ages 12-19, Digital Creativity Specialist iJeannette Lehr said. Level Up and the Ground Floor opened March 1. Kevin MacDowell, Teen Services and Digital Creativity strategist, said the director of the library at the time, Sara Laughlin, began research for the project more than four years ago. Laughlin saw a national trend in libraries providing services for younger generations in order to make themselves more relevant, MacDowell said. “Libraries are looking for ways to serve this generation of the public now, and since there’s so much digital creativity in society, we had to find a way to meet that need,” Lehr said. MacDowell said the mentoring program at the MCPL was created to inspire digital creativity specifically in teens but also in Monroe County as a whole. Lehr, hired to assemble equipment and software for the new spaces, said Level Up is there for anyone who wants to create any kind of project. “If there’s a 5-year-old who wants to make a movie, we’ll definitely help them do it,” Lehr said. MacDowell said Level Up and its green screen, HD camera, shotgun microphone, an extensive selection of software, laptops and iPads are all available to teens. Mentors are there to encourage teens and children to learn valuable skills through their interests, whether they are working at the arts and crafts station, playing Super Smash Bros on the Wii U or just listening to music, MacDowell said. “It’s an opportunity to hook on to what they’re doing and turn it into something that’s a little bit more intentional, more organized, with more of an end product in mind,” MacDowell said. This could be making a time-lapse video documenting the process of making a design with Perler beads or designing their own iOS app. MacDowell said another key aspect of the mentoring process is related to the 40 Developmental Assets, which help teens transition
to successful adulthood. “One of the biggest elements is having positive relationships with adults other than parents and teachers,” MacDowell said. “The mentor program is an attempt to first and foremost give an opportunity to provide those types of relationships.” MacDowell said the mentors use the bonds they make with the students to give them a push toward learning marketable skills. “We want to get kids to try new things and really geek out on a project,” MacDowell said. “The thread through all of that is connected learning, which is simply that anyone learns best when what they are learning is somehow connected to an interest of theirs.” In the Ground Floor, there are paper dolls hidden by the bookshelves and toys remade to form creatures such as a stegosaurus with a doll arm as a tail. Unsurprisingly, these spaces are mostly used for socializing, MacDowell said. “We see some reading but, as librarians, not as much as we would like,” MacDowell said. “At its busiest, this space is loud and busy. We suspect that a lot of teens who are voracious readers may be a little turned off by this space because there is no real place for truly silent reading.” Although the space might not be ideal for the avid reader, it is a place that fosters other kinds of creative thought and production. The white board wall, visible in the entryway, serves as a place for patrons to show their talent in artwork and poetry. The most prominent piece on the wall currently is a five foot tall Expo marker dragon, intricately patterned and colored. MacDowell said he walks around the board every morning before going into his office to see if anything has been added — not for anything inappropriate but for the impressive displays. “Some of what gets written and drawn bares these teens’ souls a little bit,” MacDowell said. “Their feelings get put on this board, and sometimes it’s quite profound and moving.” The real challenge of the mentoring program is turning the raw creativity, energy and social tendencies of young adults into tangible products while teaching them digital and technological skills, MacDowell said. “If IU students enjoy the company of teens and want to be a part of figuring out ways to creatively trick teenagers into trying things that they didn’t think they wanted to try, they would be perfect mentors,” MacDowell said.

I’m like an old guy now.” In addition to stopping shows, Bridavsky and Houpt repainted the studio, bought new furniture for it and outfitted it with the equipment to make it a “perfect studio.” He said the process was therapeutic, a final remedy for the strain put on by his period of financial woes and a stagnancy that came with his disillusionment with recording at that time. Now he said the upkeep is one of his favorite parts of owning the studio. “It’s like ‘Sims,’ but in real life,” he said. “Or I sometimes compare it to ‘Dungeons & Dragons.’ You’ve got to upgrade your sword and your armor, but it’s

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 purpose of the partnership is to find telecommunications and journalism students who are interested in broadcast and offer them up-to-date technology with which to work and broadcast every IU home event. “I was taught in journalism school to avoid direct conflicts of interests as well as the possibility of the perception of conflicts of interests,” said Sanserino, who is now the associate sports editor for the PittsburghPost Gazette. “Once you’ve admitted a possible conflict of interest, you can’t fight the perception, and at that point, we’ve lost as journalists.” Sanserino and 2012 IU journalism graduate Stephanie Kuzydym said they are concerned independent entities on campus, such as the IDS, WIUX and IUSTV, will suffer ethical consequences due to the close relationship between the Media School and IU Athletics. “In sports, any athletic department is known to limit the information revealed to the press,” said Kuzydym, a former IDS sports editor and current
recording equipment, like extra microphones. A welldesigned studio — one thing can break and many things can break, and you can still make a record.” Among the records they’re working on right now is the combination of Bridavsky’s studio and his famous cat. He said Russian and label Joyful Noise Recordings will officially announce the Lil BUB album next month, but it’s been in the works for a while. Bridavsky said the album is a collaboration between him and his Memory Map bandmate Matt Tobey. “It’s an instrumental record, and it’s extremely conceptual,” he said. “It starts with BUB crash landing to Earth, and then she kind of gets used to the gravity here, sports reporter for the Houston Chronicle. “Now that we are a partner with the athletics department, how can we still tell the truth, and how do people know that we are telling the truth?” Frank LoMonte, the executive director of the Student Press Law Center, said the partnership has deeper involvement than a typical media or journalism school partnership with an athletics department, but partnerships between the two are not uncommon. “With so much movement in the field in recent years, the wall between the two is getting thinner and thinner,” LoMonte said. “There just always needs to be a healthy degree of separation between independent news outlets and the athletics department.” LoMonte also said there should always be clear representation of work produced by independent journalists and students writing for the athletics department. “I feel like work produced by our writers is implied by being on our website,” Gray said about iuhoosiers.com. “Also, we are mostly about broadcast and less about telling the
and then she meets me and makes all these friends and makes the world a better place.” With Lil BUB’s fame and Russian coming full circle, things have started to look up financially for the studio. Bridavsky said a recording studio is a horrible business model because most days are busy days, but most bands can’t afford to spend much money on recording. While he’s still never made money from the recording studio, he said it’s now in a comfortable situation. “I’ve figured things out a bit,” he said. “It’s selfsustaining. It pays for itself. And that’s all I’ve ever really wanted. I’ve got my personal dream studio here for myself, and people can use it — it’s a thing that keeps itself alive.” story.” Clavio said the purpose of NSJC’s involvement is to safeguard journalism students and independent entities from ethical consequences and help journalism students know their rights. “I think not being involved with athletics at all would be irresponsible,” Clavio said. “As educators, we are dedicated to maintaining those independent standards, but we are also dedicated to allowing other students to use the technology at the Cuban Center, if they so choose. It’s a big school, involving a lot of students with a lot of interestes. We have to serve all of those publics, not just one.” Sanserino and Kuzydym said they understand the idea of providing for the majority of the students in the Media School, but neither journalist supported the original merger of the telecommunications and journalism departments. “I think the fact that they are working this partnership on a focus for broadcast, and, at the same time, not appealing to print journalists really shows where the Media School is taking things,” Sanserino said.

ana, as well actions HEC is taking to address sustainability in the state. Kharbanda said when compared with other states in the country, it becomes clear that Indiana is in need of improvement in categories such as air quality and water quality. Because Indiana is such a powerhouse in terms of industrial production, Kharbanda said legacy waste, toxic material in soils and ground water resulting from nuclear production and development programs, is pervasive in many of the state’s communities. Despite this, Kharbanda said he is confident meaningful action will result in positive change. “Rather than being negative, we are working to unleash the clean energy
economy of this state and unleash a different type of paradigm about how we grow our food and foster a different type of approach to transportation,” Kharbanda said. Bill Brown, IU director of sustainability, spoke after Kharbanda. “Design is about moving from the existing to the preferred or from the normal to the special,” Brown said. “I think if we stop what we are doing and keep those two things in mind, we will move towards sustainability naturally.” Maria Koetter, director of the Louisville Office of Sustainability, spoke after Brown. “We can’t be too shortsighted and say, ‘We can’t tackle that now,’” Koetter said. “It’s about starting and

Council member Chris Sturbaum called for creativity and conversations to find solutions. He said he hopes more people will come together and make an effort to
address these issues. “I am optimistic sometime this year or the beginning of next year we will be able to revive what Martha’s House did,” Spechler said. Council member Dave Rollo was the last to speak before the vote. “It’s very important that we don’t lose ground — that we support our local safety nets,” Rollo said.

IU defense prepares to contain two styles of Wake Forest quarterbacks By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu @BrodyMillerIDS
Preparing for the Wake Forest offense has been a little more complicated for IU this week. When the Hoosiers take on the Demon Deacons on Saturday in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, they will have to plan for two different quarterbacks. Wake Forest quarterback John Wolford was the team’s starter until he injured his ankle during the first series of last week’s win against Army. Freshman quarterback Kendall Hinton took the field in his absence and put up an ACC Rookie of the Week performance. Hinton’s reputation is as an athletic player who now leads the Deacons in rushing this season despite playing in only one game. IU Coach Kevin Wilson has described Wolford as a runner as well, but Wilson said he is more of a passer who has completed nearly 70 percent of his passes this season. Reports out of WinstonSalem have described Wolford as questionable for Saturday and said he didn’t practice Tuesday, so IU will have to plan for both quarterbacks.
“The schemes won’t change blocking,” he said. “It will be the emphasis of a more athletic quarterback.” Wilson has said the IU defense needs to put more pressure on the quarterback this season. Defensive line Coach Larry McDaniel has said he likes the amount of pressure even though it might not result in sacks. McDaniel cited a play last week in which junior defensive lineman Darius Latham went underneath, rushed into the backfield and forced Western Kentucky quarterback Brandon Doughty to scramble. McDaniel said it is a good thing any time you can get a quarterback out of position. “Granted, this kid we are going to play this weekend — they have the ability that if you get them off the spot, they can take it and run,” he said. Normally, the defense has to account for 10 players on the offense, McDaniel said. But with mobile quarterbacks like Wolford and Hinton, he said the defense has to account for another player. Wake Forest Coach Dave Clawson has praised Wolford for how unselfish he has been with
Hinton. He said Wolford has helped Hinton grow during the offseason, and Wake Forest offensive lineman Tyler Hayworth told media Wolford was coaching Hinton on the sidelines during the Army game. Wilson recruited Wolford out of high school and said he knows the quarterback is a competitor from watching him play at Bishop Kenny High School in Jacksonville, Florida. Hinton, on the other hand, has only presented a small sample size. Wilson knows he needs to prepare his defense for the possibility of Hinton running, but he said it isn’t that simple. “He does complete 60 percent of his balls, so you can’t just put everything up there,” Wilson said. “And it’s not an option attack.” Though the IU defense has given up plenty of offense, it has been the source of many gamechanging plays for the Hoosiers. Clawson went as far as to say that, although the Hoosiers give up yards, they play smart football. The defense has forced seven turnovers in three games this season. “We wouldn’t be 3-0 if we wouldn’t have them,” Wilson said.
Sudfeld, Hoosier offense spreading the ball in Big Ten’s best passing game By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @trlehman_IU
As the Hoosiers enter their first road game of the season Saturday against Wake Forest, they lead the Big Ten in passing. Normally, senior quarterback Nate Sudfeld would be given the credit for such a statistic, but the team and Sudfeld are both giving credit to the players around him. “I think we feel the more people we can get involved, the more difficult it is to defend,” IU Coach Kevin Wilson said. “And so whether it be throwing the ball to tailbacks, throwing the ball to your slot receivers or throwing outside to the tight ends.” Going into week four of the season, Sudfeld has completed a pass to 13 different receivers. Fourteen receivers caught balls in all of 2014. “They’re very wellcoached,” IU offensive coordinator Kevin Johns said about Wake Forest. “They have really active linebackers. They’re gonna stop the run.” Assuming Wake Forest is able to contain junior running back Jordan Howard, the nation’s leading rusher with 507 yards, Johns said spreading the ball around will be a significant strategy in attacking the Demon
Deacon defense. The tight end group alone has surpassed its total number of combined receptions from the 2014 season, as it improved from 10 catches to 12 in just three weeks. Senior tight end Michael Cooper leads the charge with six catches and 108 yards after having two catches for 25 yards last season. “I think probably Cooper and (Danny) Friend have the most catches,” Wilson said. “And they are probably the least athletic. They are No. 3 and 4 on the athletic chain of tight ends. If you say who is the best pass catcher, you would say (Jordan) Fuchs one, (Anthony) Corsaro two. Yet the leading pass catchers are three and four.” Junior receiver Ricky Jones currently leads the team in receptions with 16 and in yards with 368 , while playing in his first starting role of his career. Starting on the opposite side of Jones is sophomore Simmie Cobbs, who has caught 10 passes for 169 yards. Outside the two starting receivers, though, no other player has double-digit reception figures. “It’s just kind of happening that way,” Johns said. “You try to play fast, you try to spread the field, and the
ball just goes where it’s supposed to go regardless of who’s standing out there. I go back to the word balance. You can’t just key in on one receiver, so you hope that the defense has to guard the right side just as strongly as the left.” With other weapons, such as junior receiver Mitchell Paige, freshman receiver Nick Westbrook and sophomore receiver Isaac Griffith, for the defense to defend, Howard also gets catches out of the backfield. He has recorded six catches for 68 yards in three weeks. “We have a lot of balance,” Sudfeld said. “The offensive line has been opening up a lot of holes, and when we get the run game going, it really opens up the passing game. Just like when we get the passing game open, it helps the run game.” Heading to WinstonSalem, North Carolina, Sudfeld knows that it will take all hands on deck in the passing game, as the Demon Decons have allowed just 125 passing yards per game this season. “I love playing in front of our fans, but there’s something special about going with just your teammates, your coaches,” Sudfeld said. “It’s kind of an ‘us against the world.’ There’s kind of a level of camaraderie.”

U.S. government uses reproductive coercion The opposite of choice is compulsion. Senate Republicans have introduced a short-term bill that would prevent a government shutdown at the price of eliminating all federal funding for Planned Parenthood, an organization that enjoys broad support from Americans, according to a Reuters/ Ipsos survey from August. Abortions constitute only 3 percent of the work Planned Parenthood does, and the 1976 Hyde Amendment already prohibits federal funding of abortions except in cases of rape, incest or a threat to a woman’s life. In the midst of this renewed onslaught against Planned Parenthood by those who seek to severely limit or eliminate women’s access to safe abortion procedures and even birth control, it is important to see these anti-choice maneuvers for what they are: reproductive coercion. Reproductive coercion is an abusive strategy for maintaining power and control of an intimate partner’s reproductive choices. This could manifest as a man poking holes in condoms, lying about having had a vasectomy or tampering with his partner’s birth control in order to force her to become pregnant. It can also look like a woman’s partner insisting that she carry an unwanted pregnancy to term or that she terminate a wanted pregnancy. Reproductive coercion is distressingly commonplace, particularly in relationships that are already abusive. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, about a quarter of women who report experiencing physical or sexual abuse at the hands of their partners also say they are pressured or forced to become pregnant. Any time a woman is denied her right to have autonomy of her own reproductive decisions, this is reproductive

coercion. In the context of a romantic or sexual relationship, such behavior constitutes domestic abuse and is unacceptable. The push to strip women of reproductive autonomy at the national level is equally reprehensible. But reproductive autonomy does not just mean abortion access. While Republicans in Congress are currently chomping at the bit to ensure women are denied abortion access in the United States, China is using forced abortions and forced sterilization to try to rein in population growth. When Chinese family planning officials forcibly aborted the fetus of Feng Jianmei — who was seven months pregnant — in June 2012, photos of the incident were released online and outrage erupted worldwide. Feng was understandably traumatized by the event. So-called “pro-life” groups have expressed horror at Feng’s story and other stories of government-forced abortions outside the U.S. But they fail to recognize that denying a woman the right to end a pregnancy is just as wrong as denying a woman the right to carry one to term. Those clamoring to defund Planned Parenthood do not respect women. What they want is to compel women to continue unwanted pregnancies, just as an abusive man might force his partner to do. Women deserve better than this. Being pro-choice is not about loving abortions, it’s supporting every woman’s right to make her own decisions when it comes to her reproductive and bodily autonomy. woodsmj@indiana.edu
KARL’S CORNER
Life as a bacondater The only thing I know about my future husband is that he will not be vegetarian. You could say I’m a bacon aficionado. When I stumbled upon “Sizzl” by Oscar Mayer in my app store suggestions, I nearly cried tears of joy. The app’s oh so appropriate slogan is, “Find your bacon lover.” Just typing it out in fat, juicy capitals gets my arteries clogged up. Sizzl is maintained and operated by the Kraft Heinz Company, and you can find more information on www.findbaconlove.com. I downloaded the app immediately. The first question it asked me was which kind of bacon I love the most — pork, turkey or both. This question confused me. I like bacon-bacon, not that freaky turkey stuff that hides behind a curtain of faux bacon flavor. I selected pork. After this, it asked me which type I preferred — “thick cut, because more is more,” “hardwood smoked for a really long time,” “lower sodium” or “maple and sweet like me.” Now, the low sodium option sounded like a doctor’s order and the thick cut choice didn’t appeal to me since I enjoy my bacon thin and extra crispy. I went with the hardwood smoke route. Next question: “If a friend tried to serve you bacon flavored with liquid smoke, you’d ...” I think I’d barf. Then Sizzl asked me how I like my bacon cooked — “chewy,” “crispy” or “burnt.” Crispy or GTFO. Lastly, there was a simulation-type question: “If you’re on a date and there’s one strip of bacon left, you... ...” a) “take it, obviously,” b) “generously give it away” or c) “split it.” Here’s what separates the liars from the true baconlovers. There is no way on this

planet that I would give up the last piece of bacon, my one true indulgence, and I’d be so salty — literally — if I had to share. My tree house — if I had a tree house — would say “bacon takers only.” Once I had my profile set up — with a ba(e)con caption underneath my name — I started playing a tinder-esque game of pressing a heart made of bacon or the X if I didn’t find the prospective match appealing. I was getting guys from everywhere — England, Austria, Sweden, the United States (a lot of guys from Oregon), amongst other destinations, which proves bacon is universally loved. A few minutes into my conquest for grease-splattering love, I ran into a fellow named Lars. He was 70, which concerned me. Good bacon dies young. As I swiped, I saw witty profiles that said “bacon care of business,” “your mum and I met each other on a bacon app,” “don’t go bacon my heart” and the truly incredible “Ron Swanson is my spirit animal.” Then there was this dude who totally won: “I used to drive the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile ... obviously I had to get this app.” Uh, John from New Castle, Kentucky, can I have your old job? That would look amazing on my LinkedIn. So, fellow Hoosiers, from the bottom of my frying pan, I really suggest you check out this app so we can Netflix and bacon together — as long as you let me have the last piece. jlkarl@indiana.edu @jkarl26

The modern debtors’ prison WE SAY: Courts shouldn’t cite debt as contempt One could argue that a debtors’ prison is one of the most illogical social solutions ever utilized. Not only must the government fund a person’s imprisonment, but the individual doesn’t have any opportunities to work toward obtaining the needed payment for their release. The freedom from debtors’ prisons might have been a dream the United States founders brought to fruition long ago, but this abuse of those experiencing poverty has reappeared in a subtle way. Unbeknownst to the general public, the New Orleans circuit court has been utilizing fines and threats of imprisonment to fund a substantial portion of its budget. Several plaintiffs have brought suit against Louisiana’s Orleans Parish Criminal District Court in a united effort to have their voices heard. The Editorial Board believes this issue is not only a gross mistreatment of those experiencing poverty, but it also speaks to the unjust distribution of funding and taxation our society permits. Alana Cain, one of the plaintiffs in the class-action suit, shared her story
with New York Times journalist Campbell Robertson. After pleading guilty to stealing a ring while cleaning a downtown law firm, Cain was ordered to pay $1,800 in restitution and about $950 in court fines and fees. For more than a year, Cain kept up her $50 biweekly payment installments. However, after a stretch of joblessness caught her unable to make the payment on time, Cain struggled to pull the funds together. After informing a collections officer that she would bring the money, she was pulled over with the payment in her pocket and cited for a broken taillight. A warrant was already out for her arrest, and Cain spent the next week in jail before she was brought before a judge. According to a comprehensive 2012 study conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the state of Louisiana is responsible for enacting and enforcing policies that detail each public defense office’s revenue, expenditures and workload data. Additionally, the state is held accountable for utilizing this data to improve the system. Ultimately, these seemingly loose
regulations have led to a broken funding system that relies heavily on the fees collected from those that find themselves on the defense in the courtroom. These defendants are from disproportionately poor financial backgrounds, with more than eight out of 10 qualifying as indigent — an outdated and degrading term the courts generally use when referring to a person in poverty. Though said individuals are supplied with the counsel of a public defense attorney, even these attorneys are paid indirectly via the court fees their clients face. As a society, we make daily choices concerning where and how public funds will be used. How we utilize these funds says a great deal about our priorities, and the Orleans Parish court system is not entirely unique. In courts across the country, we deem it acceptable for those in poverty to pay outrageous fines to support their own prosecution, defense and judicial hearings. The Editorial Board believes there is a tainted justice to be found in such a system.
THE SCIENCE GUY
Move forward with gene editing research The dream of engineering ourselves comes closer to a reality every day. Let’s welcome the future with open arms. Gene editing, a method of genetic modification involving changing the sequence of genes, has been around for decades. But it’s been dangerous, expensive and difficult for most of its history. However, thanks to the new genome-editing system known as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR), we can now modify genes much more easily and efficiently. CRISPR (pronounced like “krisper”) is a new tool that has recently shown promising results by using sections of RNA, a modified form of DNA, to target locations in DNA sequences to be added, changed or removed. With the ability to target diseases such as AIDS and cancer, this new found research offers fruitful advances in health. But as we wonder what uses this research has, we
also have concerns. Is the technology safe? What consequences might there be? Are we going to see designer babies, offspring tailored to our genetic preferences? Would we still be the human? It’s obvious there are morals and values at stake with these issues, and these concerns must be taken seriously. In April 2015, Chinese scientists used CRISPR to try to correct for the genetic disorder Beta-thalassemia in nonviable human embryos. Though only a few genes were changed, the research was not published due to ethical issues and scientists explained that CRISPR in its current state should not be used in clinical medicine. Some say the benefits of using gene editing outweigh these moral costs. The Global Burden of Disease Project estimated 2.5 billion people, or about one-third of the world’s population died prematurely or were hindered by a disability in 2010. And yet, the U.S. National
Institutes of Health reiterated its restrictions on gene editing of human embryos after the Chinese study. Though I am in favor of lifting restrictions to gene editing, I concede these “it has more benefits than costs” arguments miss the mark. These debates ignore the fact gene editing is still in its infancy for clinical use and using a method of science before it’s properly researched can do more harm than good. Some people are worried about integrity for the future, but we’ve been worried about the future throughout history. We’ve aggrandized fictitious scenarios in which our scientific advancements will outpace humanity. The beliefs that we will face dystopian futures are outrageously exaggerated. We’ve been modifying ourselves for a while now, and we’re nowhere near anyone employing gene modification to take over the world. Besides, we have regulations for safety and informed consent of those involved in the research. There’s no need

to extrapolate that we will wake up tomorrow as mindless robots, robbed of free will and virtue or even worse, completely extinct. Fiction will remain fiction. Scientists from the U.S., United Kingdom and China will be meeting in Washington during the first week of December to discuss the future of gene editing. But humanity has always been — and always will be — miles ahead of science. Gene editing has a lot to offer, and, though we are still understanding its potential, it’s better for us to address issues as they arise instead while bearing our values in mind. We’re still human beings capable of justice. Let’s not limit what science has to offer for irrational fears and worries. sather@indiana.edu @SHussainAther

Special exhibitions unveiled Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13
A collection of Indian saris, a retrospective glimpse at a celebrated IU professor and a student-driven look back at an Italian master decorate the galleries at the IU Art Museum starting this week. The exhibitions formally begin with an opening reception at 6:30 p.m. Friday. The exhibits will continue through Dec. 20. IUAM Curators Nan Brewer and Judy Stubbs organized the aforementioned collections. Brewer, curator of works on paper, took charge of “Gods and Goddesses: Annibale Carracci and the Renaissance Reborn” and “Grand Allusions: Robert Barnes — Late Works 1985-2015.” The former is the studentdesigned exhibition, which came to fruition after a seminar on Caracci with Giles Knox of the Department of Art History, Brewer said. The artist of focus had great influ-
ence in the art scene of the 17th century. “He, his brother and cousin started an art academy that really promoted more of a classical manner, a kind of return to the Renaissance interest,” Brewer said. “They really helped to revive interest in that subject matter.” Brewer said the only way to learn about such artwork at the time, if one could not visit the site, was through a process of reproduction by other artists, whose interpretations often featured slight differences from the originals. The group of graduate students in charge of creating this exhibit included Carlotta Paltrinieri and Zoe Van Dyke, who assisted in curating alongside Brewer and Knox. The exhibition of works by Robert Barnes, 81, took a while to plan. Private collectors and museums bought a large amount of Barnes originals, making the process of tracking the works slightly
Local playwright project to debut 2015-16 season By Jessica Smith jsmithzu@indiana.edu
The Bloomington Playwrights Project will be kickstarting their 2015-16 season with “The Bull, the Moon and the Coronet of Stars,” opening Oct. 2 at their location on West Ninth Street. David Sheehan, BPP’s associate artistic director, said this season “continues to push the envelope.” The BPP is in its 36th season this year, and they continue to be the only professional theater in the state of Indiana that focuses solely on new plays, Sheehan said. Every show is selected by Chad Rabinovitz, the BPP artistic director. BPP runs two contests each year: one for the best new comedy and one for the best new drama. “We receive about a thousand submissions total, and our literary team reads every single one of them.” Sheehan said. The BPP attracts many fans in the Bloomington community with their BPP subscriber option, through which fans can buy a set of tickets for the entire season in advance at a discounted price. Jocelyn Bowie is in her third year as a subscriber, and she said what she enjoys the most about the BPP is their focus on new plays. “Seeing a play produced for the first time ever, anywhere, is an unusual privilege.” Bowie said. She said many of the plays and stories we know today were first written hundreds
and even thousands of years ago. “I like to imagine some of the new plays you see at BPP being produced three hundred years from now,” she said. “Not all will remain relevant, and some will be lost to history, but some will travel down through the ages, and that is kind of exciting.” Bowie said she is particularly interested in the first show of the season, “The Bull, the Moon and the Coronet of the Stars,” because of her love of Greek Mythology. In past seasons, one of her favorite shows was “Ugly Lies the Bone,” which she said was produced and performed in a beautiful manner. “Today the play has gone on to be produced in New York City, opening this month, with Mamie Gummer in the lead,” she said. Sheehan said there are all sorts of efforts that go into putting on a BPP show. “All in all, it’s an incredible amount of work,” he said. “Really fun work.” This season will offer shows such as an electronic musical called “Toast” and one-man show “Everything in its place: The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers” starring Marc Summers, the host of Nickolodeon’s “Double Dare” and Food Network’s “Unwrapped,” Sheehan said. “Needless to say we are very excited about this season,” Sheehan said. Student tickets are $10 and can be purchased from the Buskirk-Chumley Theater box office.
more challenging, Brewer said. The pieces the museum displays now reflect the latter half of the former IU professor’s career, with prints and paintings from as recently as this year. The allusions to mythology and illusionary style are both important to note with the works, Brewer said. “The interest of collectors as well as scholars and museum professionals in his work is in the allusions, the inspiration he derives from an enormous range of personal interest in mythology, literature, music and history,” Brewer said. “You can go around this room and it’s amazing the things that inspired him.” Stubbs arranged the Indian clothing on display as part of “The Indian Sari: Next to the Skin, Close to the Heart.” This exhibition is slightly different from the other two, as it is textile focused. The pieces come from the personal collection of Prema Popkin and originate from
various parts of India. Stubbs said Popkin has worn each of the pieces she contributed for the show. “I went over to her house, and we started pulling out saris,” Stubbs said. “It was just amazing — I knew nothing about saris when I started and it’s been really wonderful to do this show, to work with Prema Popkin and to learn so much about regional traditions, technical aspects of making a sari and textile traditions.” The sari acts as what Stubbs, curator of Asian art, called “living art” — as they are both functional and evolving with the times and representative of the origin’s creativity and aesthetic preferences. “To look at textiles, even if it’s clothing, that it’s also an art form and it’s a living art form,” Stubbs said. “That’s been my purpose, to show exhibitions and materials that would give yet another view of Asian artistic tradition.”
The Diabolique International Film Festival returns today to IU Cinema for its ninth and final year. The festival showcases a collection of films in independent genre cinema, including horror, sci-fi, fantasy and animation. “The Diabolique International Film Festival always provides fresh and interesting perspectives in the genre of horror films,” said Jessica Davis Tagg, the events and operations manager for IU Cinema, in an email interview. Diabolique screenings will occur Friday and Saturday in the IU Cinema and Sunday in Radio-TV 251. Tagg said the festival will set itself apart this year by giving the audience a look at the origins and makings of the film festival for the past nine years, as well as partly focusing on horror-film classics that have inspired the creators of the festival. This year, the festival includes screenings of “Jaws” at 6:30 p.m. Friday, “Fright Night” at 11:59 p.m. Friday and “Landmine Goes Click” at 10 p.m. Saturday. The festival also includes a series of DIFF Short Films to be screened throughout the weekend. A discussion recognizing the end of the festival will kick off the weekend of film screenings. “From Dark Carnival to Diabolique: A Panel on the Life and Death of an Independent Genre Film Festival” will open the festival at 3 p.m. Friday. The committee for the festival will elaborate on the history of the festival during the panel. David Pruett, festival founder and director, said it started out as a student project from a film student

He said this core group runs the festival now but has been making films on the side as well. “The filmmaking aspect has really taken off,” Pruett said. They released the film “Found” in 2012, Pruett said, and had much success with showings at eight film festivals and winning 20 to 30 awards in the process. He said they recently released a spin-off of the film, “Headless.” “One of the most exciting things about living in a town like Bloomington is the constant influx of new talents and passions, with the normal ebb and flow of a town with such a prestigious university,” Tagg said in an email. “It is not uncommon, nor is it problematic, that some of our amazing talents move on to other projects. In this instance, the organizers of the festival were able to see that it was time to move on and draw this festival to a triumphant conclusion, and we can’t wait to see it.” Bridget Murray

Hoosiers prepare for Big Ten IU looks to earn 1st Big Ten games after top-25 matchups win after mid-week victory fensive source, the lack of offensive firepower has been a common theme this season. The Hoosiers have scored just seven times in 10 games — a 2-0 win against Middle Tennessee State was the only multigoal game for IU. “We’ve been really working on getting the balls out wide in practice,” Joray said. “We have to make good runs, good numbers into the box.” The Golden Gophers enter this weekend’s Big Ten games with a record of 7-1-2 and have not lost in the four games that they have played in Minneapolis. Minnesota, is coming off an impressive 2-0 road weekend to open up Big Ten play, including wins against No. 4 Penn State and No. 20 Ohio State. Junior forward Simone Kolander poses the biggest offensive threat for Minnesota. Kolander has scored five goals in ten games thus far, and three of those have counted as game-winning tallies. Thirteen different Gophers have scored on the year. “The reason that they’re No. 20 is because they just beat No. 20 and No. 4,” Berbary said. “They beat Ohio State and Penn State, so they’re on a high right now, very athletic and just a good soccer team.” On the other side of the field, the Golden Gopher defense is statistically one

The test against Minnesota, Coach Amy Berbary said, should be one the Hoosiers are used to. IU will look to build off a pair of draws they earned to start the Big Ten season last weekend against Illinois and Northwestern. IU will face a struggling Wisconsin team in Madison on Friday night before heading to Minnesota to take on a possible Big Ten title contender. “I’m looking for goals,” Berbary said. “I’m looking for us to just be a little more dangerous and force the goalkeepers to make plays. We need more shots on goal and continue to push forward. We are continuing to work on being a little more threatening in the offense. We’ve got to figure out who is going to step up for us.” Junior forward Lauren Joray’s first career goal late in Sunday’s game allowed the Hoosiers to come away with a draw against Northwestern. Although IU was able to find an of-

of the strongest in the Big Ten. Minnesota has allowed just four goals on the season, courtesy of junior goalkeeper Tarah Hobbs’ 0.31 goals against average. Hobbs has started eight of her team’s 10 games, allowing three goals and collecting 34 saves on the year. Half of IU’s games this season have gone to overtime, which causes the concern of fatigue and not being able to come out with wins. With multiple season-ending injuries, Berbary has been proud of her team’s fitness and character, especially when the Hoosiers have had to play from behind. “It’s not as much frustrating as it is rewarding,” Berbary said of the team’s four draws. “It’s tough to get that golden goal. The fact that we haven’t lost those games, I’m really proud of. It takes effort and battle — to do it last Sunday, again, just shows the effort that our team has.” IU will have to put the pieces together to earn a result on the road against one of the nation’s best. “This is the fittest team that I have ever had,” Berbary said. “I thank them for that, because if we weren’t fit right now, we’d have so many players breaking down. We’re really trying to work with the science of things and asking the players how they’re feeling.”

The IU men’s soccer team’s 3-0 win against Evansville on Wednesday night at Bill Armstrong Stadium was a much-needed one, especially since it snapped a three game winless streak for the Hoosiers. IU lost its first two Big Ten games to Penn State and Rutgers, and also tied with Butler in between after surrendering a two-goal lead. The Hoosiers will now resume Big Ten action after chalking up their biggest win of the season, and senior Femi-Hollinger Janzen, who scored two goals on Wednesday and has four in three games, said he cannot wait to travel up north to face Northwestern on Sunday. “I’m really looking forward to Sunday,” HollingerJanzen said. “We just have to keep up our communication and composure and know that as a group we’ll be fine and do well.” The Hoosiers have not lost to the Wildcats since 2011, where they lost 3-2 on penalties in the semi-final of the Big Ten Tournament. The Wildcats (3-3-1) are also struggling for form this season and have a similar record to the Hoosiers (4-3-1). Northwestern opened their Big Ten season with a 2-1 win against Ohio State but lost their second game 3-0 to Michigan and are cur-

rently fifth in the Big Ten standings. IU Coach Todd Yeagley is also a much happier man after Wednesday’s result and said the team had ironed out the issues that were present during their three game winless streak. “A lot of the goals that we gave up were isolation scenarios, it’s not finger pointing,” Yeagley said. “We go as a team and we lose as a team, and there were just some discipline issues, and if we cut that out, we’re in great shape.”, Sophomore defender Grant Lillard also said he believes the team has fixed the problems that were present during the three-game streak where the usually resolute Hoosier defense conceded seven goals. “We went back to focusing

on little things such as better communication, things that we were doing at the beginning of the year,” Lillard said. “Because at the beginning of the year we were great defensively.” Yeagley said he is pleased with the way the team reacted after the 4-1 loss to Rutgers and said he believes the reaction of the group will go a long way during the course of the season, and he said he hopes the Hoosiers’ cohesiveness will bring them their first Big Ten win Sunday. “There’s going to be adversity in the season, and I can give you plenty of scenarios in championship years that we’ve had it,” Yeagley said. “How we respond to it and how we handle it as a group is how we’ll go this year, and I think they kind of took ownership this week.”
