DEMA asseses campus issues By Carmen Heredia Rodriguez caheredi@indiana.edu | @caheredia21
Minority retention among students, staff and faculty remains an area in need of attention, according to the results of an assessment released by the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs. The report released findings of a study that measured the quality and quantity of diversity efforts on campus from January 2010 through October 2015. Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs James C. Wimbush specifically named student recruitment and retention as a key area of focus when appointed to the position in 2013. Since then, the office has increased its scholarship funding and increased retention rates. In 2014, the Groups Scholars Program expanded to provide over two hundred undergraduate students financial assistance for up to four years. Retention increased among full-time African-American, Hispanic and Native American students in the 2014 incoming class. Despite the improvements, minority students have shown signs of dissatisfaction. In December, African-American students sought to raise awareness about campus racial issues through the Black IUnity march. In November, a town forum hosted by Dean of Students Harold “Pete” Goldsmith left some feeling disillusioned. The study found student organizations created many of the events which focused on specific minority groups on campus. Wimbush said the data collected from the assessment will help the office take appropriate SEE DEMA, PAGE 6

Musician Max Bielfeldt returning to Michigan for 1st time showcase changes location By Michael Hughes
michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94
The last time he was in the Crisler Center, he was being honored. Fans stood and cheered for Max Bielfeldt on his senior night when he was introduced as a player on two Big Ten championship teams. Bielfeldt will try to take a step toward another Big Ten championship in tonight’s IU vs. Michigan game in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but this time as a Hoosier. “At Michigan, we weren’t allowed to wear red,” Bielfeldt said during the preseason. “If you wore red, you’d have a punishment workout.” Bielfeldt transferred to IU this offseason after IU Coach Tom Crean gave him a place to spend his final year of eligibility. Crean said the thought of getting Bielfeldt to transfer to Bloomington kept him up some nights this offseason. He had already graduated from Michigan, but because he redshirted his freshman year, he could still play another year. But Michigan Coach Jon Beilein said he didn’t want to give Bielfeldt a scholarship. “That was a tough decision,” Beilein told reporters in Ann Arbor on Monday. “We decided to go with a lot of young players that were trending up last spring — Mark Donnal, Ricky Doyle and D.J. Wilson. We decided, let’s move forward and plan for the future.” But Beilein also said he hasn’t thought twice about Bielfeldt leaving for IU. Beilein has a policy in place that doesn’t allow his players to transfer within the Big Ten, but the conference made a special exception for Bielfeldt. While meeting with the media

After nine years and hundreds of live performances, Suzette Weakley and her team are moving their music showcase to a new home. In their 10th year with the project, Weakley and her partners Steev Wisher and Brandon Pfeiffer have moved the weekly Bloomington Songwriter Showcase to Bear’s Place. The showcase, which was formerly held at Player’s Pub, was moved due to scheduling conflicts, she said. “We tried to compromise,” Weakley said. “We’ve been there as a long, established thing. Full room almost every Monday.” Weakley said she grew up playing in rock bands and learned how to write songs from her mother — writing music runs in her family. “All of her brothers and sisters were musical,” she said of her mother. “In fact, they had a band called the Originals, because they did their own material way back then.” When Weakley met local musician Bobbie Lancaster in 2006, the two began to tour under the act Stella and Jane. In 2007, she said they visited Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe, which was unique in its emphasis on original music

Senior forward Max Biefeldt drives to the basket during the game against Minnesota on Saturday at Assembly Hall. He transferred to IU this season after spending the last four playing for Michigan.
yesterday, Beilein said he has had no second thoughts about Bielfeldt transferring to IU. But then on his radio show last night, he said no player should be allowed to transfer within the conference, no matter their situation. But Bielfeldt has remained constant in his message since leaving Michigan. He has said he holds nothing against Beilein and the program for not extending his scholarship another season. “I’m going back with a completely positive attitude,” Bielfeldt said at Big Ten Media day in
October. “Everything I gained from that university I take with a positive light. The friends I made, the experiences I had, I wouldn’t change them. I wouldn’t change anything.” Bielfeldt has been a key factor in IU’s first place standing in the Big Ten halfway through the conference season. In the conference opener at Rutgers, Bielfeldt recorded a doubledouble off the bench in a 79-72 win. His 14 rebounds that game were a career high, including his time at Michigan. He’s averaging 8.1 points and 4.6

Students talk campus safety By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu @sarahhhgardner
There is no student safety problem that cannot be fixed with a good piece of legislation, said Anne-Therese Ryan, the Residence Hall Association vice president of student affairs. Ryan helped moderate a town hall meeting Monday night to address campus and residence hall safety. Ryan works to take student concerns about safety and draft them into legislation to present to IU administration. “The reason for this isn’t just to get angry about safety issues that we think we can’t fix,” Ryan said. “The goal here is to take the issues we find most pressing and write something that can fix them.” Better campus lighting, pedestrian safety and clearer
emergency alerts systems were among the main issues addressed by students at the meeting. “Lighting in places that are dangerous at night is really the first step to changing a lot of the campus’ safety problems, so it would be great to get the administration on board with that,” senior Taylor Hurt, an RA in Collins, said. “I care a lot about my residents’ safety and my own safety, and it sometimes feels more unsafe than ever here.” Hurt said she thinks fixing problems with safety on campus at night could help with a decrease in assaults and other crimes. “There have been so many sexual assaults and other deaths on campus just in the last semester,” Hurt said. “We say we have a culture of care, but how are we actually holding students and administra-
tion accountable?” The campus emergency alert system, which uses calls, texts and emails to inform students of dangerous situations, was also addressed. “The notifications are important, but they don’t always make sense to me,” freshman Kaylee Slont said. “A lot of times we’ll get a second alert that says the scene is safe, but they didn’t find the suspect, and that always makes me a little nervous.” Many students also expressed concern over building accessibility on campus. Some doors, bathrooms and stairs on campus are not adequately equipped for students with disabilities, freshman Dylan Moore said. Trenton Dunham, RHA student advocacy committee chair, said while solutions are not often among student discussion, problem solving is
where the RHA steps in. “We sometimes feel like students don’t fully grasp their own impact on campus policy,” Dunham said. “We want the RHA to be a channel students know they can go through to bring up concerns, and then we can go ahead and press to make those changes.” The RHA also takes topics discussed at IUSA meetings and helps push for their legislation, Ryan said. In the last year, the RHA helped create the Spectrum learning community, a residence center allied with the GLBT student support services office. The RHA will continue having town halls on different subjects throughout the semester in order to seek feedback for legislation, Ryan said. “We’re happy even if only one student shows up,” Ryan said. “That’s one voice that we didn’t have yesterday.”

Poems ref lect the black experience By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu | @ttelford1883
One after another, students stood at the podium and told their stories of the black experience. Some cried and yelled. Others were soft-spoken. They spoke of oppression, stereotypes and the power of their culture. Roughly 200 students from three local high schools — Bloomington High School North, Bloomington High School South and Bloomington Graduation School — and some from IU, attended the annual read-in at the Neal Marshall Black Culture Center. Students did readings of original pieces of poetry and works by black poets. The aim of the event is to encourage students to express themselves through writing and think more deeply on their cultural experiences, said Steve Philbeck, a teacher at BHSN who has attended the event every year. “I think it’s an opportunity for everyone to share in a culture that they experience every day but don’t necessarily
recognize it,” Philbeck said. After students who had signed up to perform did so, the read-in transitioned to an open mic, where anyone in the audience, including IU students and faculty members, could perform poetry, spoken-word pieces or songs. The event is also a chance to appreciate African-American art and to reflect on a common history, said Stephanie Power-Carter, director of the Neal Marshall Black Culture Center and associate professor at the IU School of Education. Power-Carter improvised a tune and sang Maya Angelou’s poem, “Phenomenal Woman.” “It’s a celebration of African-American literacy and literature, where the students can speak their hearts and their passions,” Power-Carter said. “African-American history is everyone’s history, and we have to support it and nurture it.” Many of the students’ original pieces had ties to current events, particularly police killings of Tamir Rice and Michael Brown, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Ignoisco Miles, an IU graduate student who emceed the event for the fifth year, said he was impressed by the awareness students demonstrated in their original pieces. “A lot of the pieces were weighty in a good way,” Miles said. “It shows that the students aren’t just nonchalantly and naively going through life and ignoring what’s around them. Piece after piece showed students focusing on issues and their social and political feelings.” IU junior Shai WarfieldCross attended the read-in three times as a student at BHSN. Despite being extremely shy, she performed her poem, “My Black Is Beautiful,” during her third year at the event. She read the poem, which focuses on the assumptions and stereotypes she has faced because of her race, again this year at the request of Power-Carter. “Everybody was so inspirational, so even though it was really hard for me to say my piece I felt determined to share it along with everyone else,” Warfield-Cross said. The success and growth of
the read-in has taken it to an unexpected capacity, PowerCarter said. “It’s grown every year, we really can’t afford to grow any more,” Power-Carter said. “We’d love to be able to invite more schools, but at this rate we’re outgrowing the space. We can’t fit any more people here, and this space is so intimate that we don’t want to have to give it up.” Jaslynn Guerrero, a senior at BHSN, said the work her fellow students shared was surprising and motivating. “It just kinda opened my eyes because the problems we are facing are universal,” Guerrero said. “I didn’t realize my peers were so well-informed.” The scope of the performances impressed the power of self-expression and the opportunity to inspire social change, Guerrero said. “It made me want to go back to school and try to empower other students too,” Guerrero said. “Twenty-first century oppression is a problem, but our voices can be heard and we can work to improve our situations.”
After spending about 170 minutes speaking, which is equivalent to six semesters of public speaking, several IU students have won awards for their performances in the Hoosier Invitational Debate Tournament. The Hoosier Invitational Debate Tournament is an annual competition comprised of a series of debates, all focusing on one central theme or topic, director of debate Brian DeLong said. Along with IU, many other universities in the country competed, including the University of Michigan, Samford University, the University of Kentucky and the University of Georgia. The tournament was reestablished six years ago, he said. Previously, there had been no national debates at IU for 10 years, until a group of undergraduate students revived the tournaments. This year, the debate topic was whether or not the United States military should still have influence and presence in a wide variety of areas throughout the world. The debate particularly focuses on places like Japan, northern Africa and the Arab States of the Persian Gulf where it previously had profound military influence, DeLong said. The two sides to the debate are the affirmative and the defendants. The former has to explain why they believe the presence of the military should reduced, IU freshman and debater Jill Wooton said, as well as formulate a plan of how they can reduce. She said the latter has to explain why they think the current status-quo should be maintained, and support it with evidence of how military presence is necessary.. “It really improves your listening skills,” she said. Before the tournament begins, students prepare diligently, some even taking debate classes, DeLong said. On account of their dedication, he refers to them as “academic athletes.” “These students have been prepping 20 to 30 hours a week,” he said. Each student has spent about 170 minutes just speaking. This is the equivalent of six semesters of public speaking in just one debate tournament. However, the debates held in the Hoosier Invitational Debate Tournament are not the ones that one typically sees on television or in front of a massive audience. This is in part due to a general lack of interest to hear the same arguments
“Something like that, with such high intellectual standards, is something I can get excited about.” Stanley Njuguna, IU freshman
multiple times early in the morning. DeLong said that national debates typically have a different style to them than smaller tournaments. Students are only given nine minutes to speak during a debate. In order to convey a large amount of information in the allotted time, they have to speak at an almost-incomprehensible speed. To accommodate this style of public speaking, DeLong said judges from across the nation had been specially-trained to hear what is being said. He said that several of the judges have PhDs, and that all of them experts of argumentation. While some of these judges are IU graduates, he said the majority of them come from other universities. Among the approximately 500 total teams debating this year, he said, about 40 IU students are competing. Two of these teams were able to break through the elimination rounds this year and are on their way to be one of the top 80 debate teams in the country, DeLong said. “It’s quite an accomplishment,” he said. One of the winners was IU freshman Stanley Njuguna, who received third place in the novice division. He said he has always been interested in debating and began doing so competitively once he came to IU. “Something like that, with such high intellectual standards, is something I can get excited about,” he said. Another winner was IU freshman Harry Aaronson, who received second place in the varsity division. Aaronson said he has always loved debating and competed frequently since he was in high school. “The team’s been really great,” he said. “We have all got along together, and it has been really fun.” Along with Aaronson, junior Kegan Ferguson achieved the best record IU has ever had in regards to debating. Students should participate in competitive debating because it can heighten a student’s academic ability, and be applicable in a wide range of fields DeLong said. “When you graduate someone, you want them to have research, thinking, argumentative and listening abilities,” he said.

Two recognized for progress in psychology By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich
Two assistant professors in the IU Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences have received recognition from the Association for Psychological Science. Franco Pestilli, a computational neuroscientist, and Cara Lewis, a clinical psychologist, were honored by the association regarded as “the premier international organization in its field” of psychological sciences, according to an IU press release, for early career contributions in their respective fields. The Association for Psychological Science recognizes members who make such contributions, according to the release. Pestilli, an assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences, won the 2016 Janet Taylor Spence Award for Transformative Early Career Contributions. He began working at IU in 2015 after first serving as a research associate at Stanford University. In his research, Pestilli has used state-of-the-art neuroimaging and compu-
tational approaches in reconstructing white-matter connections in the human brain. This research has allowed Pestilli and colleagues to identify a new white-matter connection in the visual cortex. Pestilli and an international team of researchers had their work on this connection published last year in the journal “Cerebral Cortex” after the team revealed an unknown part of the brain not found in any current anatomy textbooks. This part of the brain, called the vertical occipital fasciculus, was once studied at the end of the 19th century and assists in the identification of objects, words and faces, according to an additional IU press release. Brian Wandell, a professor of psychology at Stanford, said in the release that Pestilli’s work cuts across many different fields of psychology, such as attention, visual perception and cognitive neuroscience. “His careful quantitative approach to measurement and thoughtful interpretation of data using modeling represents the highest level of rigor,” Wandell said in the
release. “His work is, moreover, helping us rethink basic assumptions about the neural basis of cognition and how we conceive of the networks of attention.” Pestilli’s research has also shed light on the mechanisms of human attention and how visual attention affects humans’ views of the world. His recent work in connectivity is being used to create profiles of individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. “Pestilli’s scientific style is that of an integrative thinker who also has the nuts-and-bolts skills and the persistence to find a way forward in uncharted territory,” distinguished professor Olaf Sporns said in the release. “I am delighted that he is now my faculty colleague here at IU, and I am sure he will become a major leader in the psychological science of the 21st century.” Lewis, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, was designated a 2016 Association for Psychological Science Rising Star. Lewis was nominated by two distinguished fellows within the association. She
is the president of the Society for Implementation Research Collaboration, and a co-chair on the Association for Psychological Science’s committee for development of a division of implementation science, according to the release. “It’s an incredible honor to be recognized in this way on such a large stage,” Lewis said. “To be held in high regard among the association is an incredible honor.” Working primarily with mental health agencies, Lewis is a clinical psychologist and researcher of implementation science. She has been working within this field to develop better treatments for those suffering from mental illness. Lewis’ work in implementation science is helping transform community mental health care from a local to national level, professor Brian D’Onofrio said in the release. “Guided and informed by rigorous theory and the basic science of human behavior, her research draws on knowledge from basic psychological science in learning, cognition, motivation, personality and group pro-

cesses, and applies it to realworld settings,” D’Onofrio said in the release. “This translational focus requires enormous interpersonal skills, social awareness and understanding to navigate between two disparate professions — researchers and community clinicians.” Lewis recently received two grants from the National Institutes of Health totaling nearly $3 million to fund efforts to bring evidencebased mental health treatment into community mental health centers. “Lewis’ research and leadership place her at the heart of the new subdiscipline of dissemination and
implementation science,” psychology department chair William Hetrick said in the release. “She tackles pressing questions about therapy and addresses major impediments to the translation of evidencebased practices to realworld settings.” Lewis said she hopes this recognition will bring more attention to her research team’s focus area. She attributed her designation as a rising star to excellent mentorship and teamwork within her field of research. “The ideas I propose are not typically my own, but the product of an incredible team,” Lewis said.
Media School professor talks variations in legal definitions By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich
Media School professor Barbara Cherry focused her research on the misuse of “public utility” and “natural monopoly” in telecommunications policy debates. Cherry said these terms have different meanings to different people due to gaps in knowledge within and among the economic and legal professions. “What I discovered unexpectedly was these bodies of laws have come to be misunderstood by lawyers and social scientists,” Cherry said. Faculty, staff and researchers came together Monday to listen to Cherry discuss her paper, “Historical Distortion: How Misuse of ‘Public Utility’ and ‘Natural Monopoly’ Misdirects U.S. Telecommunications Policy Development.” Taking place in the Tocqueville Room at the Ostrom Workshop, Cherry’s discussion was a part of the workshop’s Monday Colloquium Series. Started in 1973, this series provides a forum for presenters to discuss their research with those inter-
ested. “You need to have a more historical perspective in order to understand what would happen to the system,” Cherry said in her presentation Monday. Cherry discussed the effects these errors have had on policy debates using historical context and saying this is where she bridges with the Ostrom Workshop. Founded in 1973, the Ostrom Workshop is a research center that uses collaborations with students and scholars to gain the skills required for research, according to its website. “I’ve heard the series referred to as the workshop’s signature event,” said Allison Sturgeon, workshop executive assistant and grants coordinator. When Cherry came to academia, she said this problem of misused terms arose and she wanted to learn more about it to help fix it. She asked herself why it is so difficult for lawyers and economists to actually understand the law and debate this. “We are still having difficulty getting people to actually talk about the origins of these bodies of law, where

they came from,” Cherry said. “We’re still dealing with these errors.” She added it is important for the differences in these terms and the problems with telecommunications policy
debates to be fixed soon. “The problem is there’s a lot at stake right now,” she said. “There are reasons why these principles have evolved, and a lot of these reasons still exist are not
magically going to go away.” After discussion, suggestions and questions, Cherry told those at the presentation that the paper she was discussing was only a small part of her research work.
The purpose of the paper being discussed was very narrow, she said. “This is just a sliver of a much bigger body of work,” she added. “There’s a lot of moving parts here.”
IU to give away 280 passports to minority, low-income students From IDS Reports
IU-Bloomington will give away 280 passports to preselected students as part of a partnership program with the Council on International Educational Exchange. The program, “CIEE Passport Caravan: Your Gateway to the World,” aims to make international experiences more attainable for minority, low-income and first-genera-
tion students at IU. The event will take place from from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 5 in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center Grand Hall. IU is one of 11 college nationwide participating in the program, which hopes to issue passports to 10,000 college students by 2020. “We chose to partner with IU because IU is as committed as we are to removing the financial barriers that pre-

vent students from traveling abroad,” said Beth Donaldson, CIEE’s vice president of global enrollment management, in a press release. “We feel that this partnership will be successful in helping future graduates excel.” The 280 students receiving passports are all members of IU programs such as IU’s Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs, including the
Hudson and Holland Scholars and Groups Scholars. “I am excited and proud to be part of this initiative,” said Ochmaa Escue, director of overseas study for IU’s Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs, said in a press release. “Having a passport gives many students the openmindedness of seeking opportunities to travel and study abroad, which will ultimately
lead to personal, professional and academic growth. I have had many students say to me that they hadn’t even thought about going abroad until now.” Martin McCrory, associate vice president for academic support and diversity and vice provost for educational inclusion and diversity, said in a press release traveling abroad is essential for students’ understandings of the world.
“It is important that firstgeneration, minority and lowincome students have access to intercultural knowledge and communication skills if they are going to succeed in today’s global community,” McCrory said in a press release. “We are proud to help reduce barriers that make it difficult for these students to study abroad.” Taylor Telford

RFRA cost Indianapolis tourism millions By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act likely cost the city of Indianapolis at least $60 million dollars in tourism revenue, according to the tourism group Visit Indy. The data was released in January, shortly before the bill nicknamed “Super RFRA” was killed by the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman. “Super RFRA,” or Senate Bill 66, written by Sen. Mike Young, R-Indianapolis, would have increased protections for freedom of speech, freedom to assemble and freedom to bear arms. It would have also repealed RFRA, but without including a clause that would prohibit businesses from discriminating against LGBT individuals. Visit Indy, a group dedicated to promoting Indianapolis, does not normally involve itself in politics, said Chris Gahl, the group’s vice president of marketing and communications. When they read about the various LGBT-related bills circling through Congress, though, the group’s representatives decided to make an exception. They had calculated the financial effects of RFRA and thought the results should be shared with lawmakers. Since last April, Gahl reported, the city has lost twelve conventions due to RFRA. The losses translate to the approximately $60 million for the city. “These numbers demonstrate that there has been

a bit of a business impact to the city and the state,” Gahl said. “It’s one of many data points to take into consideration as people consider new legislation.” Gahl said the organization came up with the data by questioning businesses who did not choose Indianapolis for their conventions. Twelve specifically cited RFRA as the
reason they selected another location. “We weren’t overly surprised,” he said. “We knew that there would be impact just based on how controversial the law was.” According to Visit Indy, RFRA resulted in 2,500 negative news articles during a 30day period and more than 1 billion negative social media
impressions. Visit Indy had not intended to share the report with anyone other than the elected officials whom they visited at the statehouse. They feared news about people not choosing Indianapolis might deter others from having conventions in the city, Gahl said. When the Associated Press found the information,
however, the company decided to confirm. In order to counter the lasting effects of the bill, Gahl said Visit Indy staff has been trained to discuss RFRA and inform all potential clients about the Indianapolis Human Rights Ordinance, which protects both sexual orientation and gender identity.
Despite the controversy, 2015 marked a record-year for Visit Indy. Tourism revenue in Indiana grew by one percent, according to a speech made by Visit Indy President and CEO Leonard Hoops at the Indiana Convention Center on Thursday. Hoops said the improvements could have been greater if it weren’t for RFRA.
State representatives consider new meth legislation By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6
Forty-three meth labs were seized in Monroe County in 2014. That same year, there were 1,416 lab seizures in Indiana as a whole, according to the Indiana Methamphetamine Investigation System. For years now, the state has been one of the worst in the country for meth. Once again, state lawmakers are trying to change that. Last week, the House’s public health committee passed two bills related to the drug, which were then presented to the full House
on Monday. House Bill 1157 would make it so that anyone convicted of a drug-related felony would not be allowed to purchase ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, two medications used in the production of meth. “We have meth labs popping up around the state and, unfortunately, Indiana has become one of the worst states for the problem,” the bill’s author, Rep. David Frizzell, R-Indianapolis, said. “What we’re trying to do is just go after the bad guys and not penalize people who have been following the law.”
Frizzell said there are 42,000 convicted drug felons in the state who would be affected by the law, which would require a stop sale alert to be generated whenever one of those felons tried to purchase the drug. House Bill 1390 would lower the amount of drugs containing pseudoephedrine or ephedrine one can purchase without a doctor’s prescription. The bill provides that if someone is known by the pharmacy — they regularly get their prescriptions filled there — the pharmacist would be permitted to give
them pseudoephedrine, said the bill’s author, Rep. Ben Smaltz, R-Auburn. If the pharmacist is unfamiliar with the customer, however, they would offer the customer an alternative brand of medication that still fights sickness but cannot be used to make meth. If the customer refuses that brand of medicine, they can still get a small quantity of normal pseudoephederine. If they want a larger amount, then they would need a prescription to obtain the medicine. “We really took into consideration the conve-
nience of the good guy and the inconvenience for the bad guy,” Smaltz said. “And we really leaned toward the convenience for the good guy. Only as a very last resort would someone need a prescription.” Rep. Cindy Kirchhofer, R-Indianapolis, said she worries that even this may be a bit extreme. “I haven’t had a prescription in quite some time,” Kirchhofer said. “So if I go to the pharmacy and I want pseudoephedrine, I don’t think it would be fair to law-abiding citizens to restrict that.” Kirchhofer, who is chair-
man of the public health committee, said she thinks HB 1157 is likely to get through the House. She said she thinks HB 1390, however, will be tougher. “It’s having an impact on the health of our state, not to mention the cost for the law enforcement to track these folks and shut down meth labs,” Kirchhofer said. “It’s dangerous to the children in these homes where it’s being made, it’s dangerous for the people who are purchasing it. It might not deserve a prescription requirement, but it definitely deserves a discussion.”

The Monroe County branch of Court Appointed Special Advocates is seeking new volunteers to advocate for a child’s well-being in cases under investigation by the Department of Child Services. Volunteer advocates attend court sessions and report their observations and opinions concerning the child’s welfare. Anyone age 21 and above is eligible to volunteer after undergoing preliminary training. “We need someone who is dependable and who has common sense,” Executive Director of the Monroe County CASA Kristin Bishay said. “People don’t have to have knowledge of the welfare system or even of child development, we’re here to be that resource for them.” Cases handled by CASA volunteers are typically long, which is why the organization asks for at least a two-year commitment from volunteers. The training process consists of 33 hours and there are two options when it comes to completing it, Bishay said. The first option is to have the training spread over two weekends — Feb. 19 through Feb. 21 and March 4 through March 6 — with a break weekend in between. The other option is to spread the training over four weeks,
which extend from May 16 through June 6. The training is meant to prepare volunteers for the real scenarios they encounter. It is common for someone to drop out during training because he or she realized that the level of commitment or necessary emotional fortitude was not for him or her, Bishay said. However, many do complete the training and become CASA volunteer advocates, like Gary Friedman. “It changes your perspective on life in a lot of ways, at least mine,” Friedman said. “There’s an automatic assumption that ‘what I think is correct’ that we all have in our lives, and to get yourself to the point where you can look at another side of something or remove your own inborn prejudices, it’s sometimes difficult to do. With CASA and seeing people in circumstances, both the parents and the children, it slaps you in the face.” Friedman said he has been a CASA volunteer advocate for seven years, and has handled a total of seven cases. He said volunteering for CASA is not for everybody, but one just has to think rationally and know the support system in place is strong. This is a rare opportunity to do something and to see tangible results, Friedman said, and it has allowed his empathy for others to be-

come practical and useful. There are approximately 1,000 CASA centers throughout 49 states, according to the CASA website. “The state of Indiana has the highest threshold to meet to be considered abused or neglected,” Bishay said. “It is easier to be prosecuted for animal abuse than child abuse in Indiana.” In Monroe County, there are 85 children still waiting for an advocate, Bishay said. When sworn in by a judge, Bishay said advocates are told they have joined an elite group of volunteers. Monroe County Seventh Circuit Court judge Stephen Galvin said CASA volunteers are often the difference for a child and family between a good outcome and a poor outcome.
Another volunteer advocate, Jennifer McBride, has been with CASA for almost six years. Before volunteering, McBride had an extensive background in social work. Friedman and McBride are both parents. Friedman said his children have been a helpful factor for his CASA volunteering. McBride said she knows what it’s like to be a parent and it inspires her to help the kids she has been assigned to. “The underlying thing with all of this is that, even though there are situations that are difficult and there are decisions that you have to make that are difficult, ultimately you’re making decisions that are in the best interest of the child that you are dealing with,” McBride said.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Another underused addiction treatment Basia Andraka-Christou pointed out during a talk at the Poynter Center’s Healthcare Ethics Seminar in Bloomington last week that opiates such as methadone are helpful in supporting addicts so they are able to function in society. This treatment is controversial, but not as controversial as another effective treatment: psychedelic therapy. The downside of methadone treatment is it does not offer true rehabilitation. It is a maintenance treatment for an “incurable but eminently treatable illness,” according to the Riverwood Group MethadoneTreatment Center. I believe that referring to any addiction as an incurable illness is doing a disservice to addicts. Long-term recovery may require continual caution, but it does not require permanent opioid dependence. Some recovering addicts may find it helpful to start recovery with long-acting opiates. This can be an effective step in recovery. Although research is often confined to small studies or decades-old journals, psychedelics can be highly effective in helping addicts recover for good. For example, a 1973 study employed LSD for heroin treatment and found it could be highly effective in facilitating behavior change. The key idea of psychedelic treatment is that the addict must make an effort to change him or herself. This powerful hallucinogenic experience can serve only as a catalyst for the change that the addict desires. Hallucinogenic ketamine

studies have also shown efficacy in treating alcoholics. An extensive study in 1997 found the addition of ketamine treatment for recovering alcoholics led to a 65.8 percent recovery rate, while traditional treatment was only 24 percent effective. One of the most effective hallucinogen treatments for opiate addicts is Tabernanthe iboga. T. iboga is a plant native to Africa and is used by native tribes for shamanistic rituals. Countless anecdotal reports can be found online relating to its life-changing effects. Scientific studies are limited, but one 2006 study reports “significantly decreased craving for cocaine and heroin,” based on patient surveys. Unfortunately for addicts, most psychedelic treatments are illegal. Addicts who seek psychedelic treatment are often forced to break the law or travel outside of the United States in order to do so. These legal barriers are completely unnecessary given most psychedelics are extremely safe and do not lead to addiction. As a community, we should spread awareness about the benefits of alternative treatment options. Many people strictly condemn psychedelics because of the tradition of stigma. Let’s change the stigma into legal, sciencecentered research. zhunsuck@iu.edu @ZacHunsucker
PEYTON’S PERSPECTIVE
Canadian verdict allows cyberbullying This past week, Canada partook in its first ever Twitter harassment trial, which concluded with the decision that harassing women online is not a crime. Yes, you read that right. In the case, proclaimed feminists Steph Guthrie and Heather Reilly accused Gregory Alan Elliot of criminally harassing them via Twitter. However, Elliot was found not guilty by Judge Brent Knazan. Knazan gave the following reasons for the not guilty verdict: Elliot was ignorant he was harassing the women, the women were not seen explicitly fearful due to his harassment and the fear of the women was not deemed reasonable enough. These women did everything in their power to steer clear of Elliot’s stalker-like harassment, from blocking him on Twitter all the way to filing a formal complaint with police after he seemed to be getting out of control. Guthrie reported to the police that she had several “heated” interactions with Elliot in the summer of 2012, Vice reported. He even made it known to her that he had information of her general whereabouts as well as knowledge of the neighborhood she lived in. Reilly explained her concerns to authorities pertaining to Elliot’s harassment via his “extensive and misogynistic tweets.” Because the two women didn’t explicitly state their fear due to his harassment online, Knazan ruled their allegations as unreasonable fear. Knazan thought Elliot was not aware he was harassing Guthrie and Reilly. Basically, what Knazan actually ruled was harassment of women online is perfectly normal, perhaps even to be expected. Canadian politician Cheri DiNovo told Vice, “My reaction to that ruling was,
PEYTON HURST is a junior in journalism.
‘Great, it’s open season on women now.’” By deeming these women’s fears unreasonable, Knazan is undermining women’s fears of violence. He is silencing their voices and any future calls for help against online harassment. Knazan could have sided in the women’s favor, seeing as there was enough evidence to convict Elliot of harassment charges. Knazan said himself, “It is reasonable that fear can arise just from the fact of someone continuing to contact someone after being asked to stop. That behavior could reasonably signify the person who continued the contact was capable of anything since they ignored the request.” Instead, however, he chose to play on their words by claiming Reilly testified she was “concerned,” instead of “fearful.” Her fear was unreasonable, and Elliot’s comments were apparently not harassment. With this decision, Knazan deemed the concerns of Guthrie unimportant. It also applies to other women who experience the same harassment online. Knazan is sending an enticingly dangerous message to Internet users, especially men, their stalking and harassment online will be shrugged at by authorities. It makes it completely OK and normalized. The verdict of this harassment trial not only accepts violent, irrational behavior towards women online, but creates a toxic atmosphere for cyberbullying to fester. prhurst@indiana.edu @IDSPeyton

Giving kids a second chance WE SAY: Juvenile law gets the reform it needs Juvenile law reform is not a subject that regularly grabs major news headlines. However, last week the Supreme Court and President Obama made two major strides in improving juvenile sentencing. Although the United States prison system is far from perfect, we believe the Supreme Court and Obama are taking steps to improve the lives of prisoners who deserve a second chance. Beginning in 2012, the Supreme Court decided in Miller v. Alabama that juveniles could no longer be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, and could not be given life sentences for any crime other than murder. Last Monday, the court determined the Miller decision should apply retroactively, allowing all juveniles sentenced to life without parole to appeal their sentences or obtain parole. On the same day the court decided the Miller case, Obama banned the use of solitary confinement
on juveniles. The Editorial Board finds both the court rulings and Obama’s ban a positive step forward in improving the legal treatment of juveniles. Many prisoners who were sentenced as juveniles to life in prison without parole have had decades in prison to rehabilitate and reflect on their behavior. Juveniles’ mental capacity is not developed to the same extent as that of an adult. That is why we don’t allow children to vote, drink or generally be responsible for their own actions. As they mature into adult individuals, they are more likely to understand the consequences of their actions and achieve the rehabilitation and reflection for which the prison system supposedly aims. According to the national research organization “Sentencing Project,” 80 percent of juveniles sentenced to life reported witnessing violence in their homes. About 54 percent of them
reported witnessing violence weekly. The same survey also found that African American youth are sentenced to life at a 10 times higher rate per capita than white youth. Given the systematic injustice and violence juvenile prisoners have to face, we believe these prisoners should be allowed to prove their crime did not demonstrate irreparable corruption. While most offenders convicted as juveniles do deserve a chance at life outside prison, there are cases where life without parole is justified. Justice Anthony Kennedy describes this distinction best with his statement, “Those prisoners who have shown an inability to reform will continue to serve life sentences. The opportunity for release will be afforded to those who demonstrate the truth of Miller’s central intuition — that children who commit even heinous crimes are capable of
change.” Echoing the sentiment of the Supreme Court, Obama’s ban of solitary confinement for juveniles reveals the true purpose of the U.S. prison system is to rehabilitate offenders. In an opinion piece published in the Washington Post last Monday, Obama claims, “Research suggests that solitary confinement has the potential to lead to devastating, lasting psychological consequences. It has been linked to depression, alienation, withdrawal, a reduced ability to interact with others and the potential for violent behavior”. Considering the laundry list of adverse effects from spending time in solitary confinement, the Editorial Board applauds Obama’s decision to ban the use of solitary confinement on juveniles. The last thing the prisoner or society needs is for an offender to come out of prison more disadvantaged than when they entered.
WHITTICISMS
Atom Tickets affects integrity of film industry Player two has entered the market. The Wall Street Journal released an announcement this week that a movie ticket app called Atom Tickets is poised to shake up sales. Previously, this market has been dominated by Fandango — a site and app which allows movie goers to purchase tickets online. Although more competition is usually good for the consumer, this app is likely to benefit studios more than movie goers. If successful, Atom Tickets will reward studios for producing bad movies, and will ultimately be a detriment for anyone who appreciates the art of filmmaking. This app is backed by heavy hitters Disney, Lionsgate and Twenty-First Century Fox, and allows streamlining group movie outings. Atom Tickets enables cus-
tomers to purchase tickets in groups. Like your own personal assistant, the app allows friends to note which movies they’re interested in and what times they’re available to see the movie. The app is also being touted as a way for the studios to improve slumping ticket sales. One of the more controversial aspects of the app is that it allows customers to purchase discount tickets for films which are performing poorly or at non-peak times, according to a Hollywood Reporter article . This type of flexible pricing has been tricky in the past due to the minimum prices studios set for any of their films. This pricing structure benefits students who have a more flexible schedule. However, by giving
incentive for consumers to go to movies that perform poorly, movie goers are not motivating studios to continuously release innovative, interesting films. It could result in a depletion of economic consequences for studios that release poor products. Movies such as “Dirty Grandpa,” “The Last Airbender” and “Disaster Movie” flopped for clear reasons. The plot was predictable, the actors were unoriginal and people spent more time looking at their watches than the screen. Reducing ticket prices to movies such as these will only benefit the studios looking to make a bit more revenue from unsuspecting consumers. The app could still be successful without adjusting ticket prices. Organizing a large

group is always difficult, and people will still use the app to help streamline that process. Atom Tickets will also still benefit from multiple revenue streams even if it didn’t offer variable ticket prices. The Wall Street Journal reported the app makes money from ads, ticket sales and takes a cut of popcorn and soda pre-orders. By blocking the variable pricing, studios will continue to be challenged to make compelling films which will fill theaters on their own volition. wkiepura@indiana.edu @wkiepura

writer Showcase is formatted with an in-the-round fashion. Four songwriters stand on stage at the same time and take turns performing their songs. Over the past 10 years, Weakley said the Bloomington Songwriter Showcase has grown in popularity from both attendees and performers. “The Bloomington audience is intelligent,” she said. “They expect more than to have you sit there and do your best impression of Neil Young.” As a result of the popularity, Weakley and her team have had to become more selective in who can perform.
She said they hold auditions to see who will make the cut. Although musicians are typically understanding of not being chosen, Weakley said one musician’s reaction caused the FBI to get involved. When the performer was not accepted in the showcase, Weakley said he emailed her a series of death threats. “Ultimately, he and I worked things out,” she said. “Well, I said, ‘You know, it’s a felony. You can’t make death threats on the computer.’” Because of the move from Player’s Pub to Bear’s Place, Weakley said she is
expecting a large turnout tonight. “My big concern is that it may be too small,” she said. Other than using a smaller venue than Player’s Pub, Weakley said she is concerned about limited parking and using a space that is not all-ages. Weakley said she encourages musicians of all genres to audition for the showcase. “All I try to do is mix it up,” she said. “You might have somebody who does delta blues next to somebody who does jazz, next to somebody who does Americana. It keeps things really interesting. I don’t want the same song all night long.”

Atz said though she knew CBU’s legal team was working through Nunn’s request, she did not know exactly how long it would take to compile the information. The next CBU meeting is Feb. 8 and will update the public on the most recent water quality information. “I always like to point out that we are meeting all EPA and IDEM regulations so our water is safe,” Atz said. waiting for someone next to them to cheer or boo and follow their lead.

Elizabeth Blevins, assistant vice president for marketing and communications for OVPDEMA, said the cultural centers began reporting data relating to student success in the past several months as a result of a change in leadership. She said the cultural centers had not reported any kind of data prior to that point. Halualani and Associates is expected to finish a retention and recruitment report by the end of this summer. It will conclude its study by analyzing OVPDEMA’s internal structure.

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes We are all born with unique bodies. Adjectives are what we let define those bodies. Strong, thin, tall, short, wide, small...you get the point. We love parts of our bodies and other parts we can’t stand. Some parts we don’t have any opinion of at all. Take a look at what these eight students think about their faces, chests, thighs and feet.

Putting a Spin on Traditional Fitness Classes By Nicole Johnson Dark blue circulating lights dance across every surface of the small dim room, reflecting off the mirror-lined walls and glinting from the six silver, floor-to-ceiling poles. From a small stereo in the corner, a cover of “Toxic” by Britney Spears begins to fill the room. As the slow, sensuous music starts, the six barefoot dancers slowly begin to walk around their poles to the rhythm of the music. As the singer starts, the girls match their movements to the steady beat of the song, leaping, twisting and spinning on their poles. They hoist themselves from the ground and circle the poles with the grace of a ballet dancer, each following the rhythm but doing their own combination of spins KATELYN ROWE | INSIDE and movements. Erin Seri wraps a leg around her pole as she spins during an aerial fitness Anita DeCastro, the inclass Monday night at Wild Orchid.
structor of the aerial fitness class, walks through the room praising her students on their work with a sharp “Ow, ow!” and a smile. She crosses the room once more to turn out the lights for the last dance of the night as she tells her students, “Just dance it out and have fun!” DeCastro is the owner and founder of Wild Orchid, an aerial fitness studio that focuses on achieving a total body workout through pole dancing and aerial fitness. After trying the idea on the Bloomington community in September 2015 in a small, one-pole studio above Roots, a vegetarian restaurant, she started Wild Orchid. DeCastro expanded to the space where the studio now sits, nestled under an apartment complex. Although the classes are open to men, DeCastro started her business with women
in mind. “I love working with women, and I used to run a dance company for six years that was centered around women,” DeCastro said. “It inspired me to open a studio and have a space that was geared toward a community of women where they could be inspired to pursue an active lifestyle that is creative and fun.” Besides the exercises done on a pole, the unique, nonphysical benefits are what really set aerial fitness apart. Lauren Martin is a senior at IU and regularly attends classes at Wild Orchid. Yoga no longer challenged her physically, so she tried an aerial fitness class. She discovered a combination of the yoga she loved and the dance she did when she was younger in the Wild Orchid classes. “It incorporates this very creative element, so it’s not
just these incredible strength, arduous moves where you’re pulling your body upside down, but it’s also figuring out how to make that look delicate and how to make that into a dance,” she said. In addition to growing stronger, Martin said the classes changed the way she looks at herself. Before taking the classes, Martin felt self conscious of her thighs, believing they were too big to wear short shorts and instead choosing longer biker shorts. Now, however, she proudly shows off her shorts which end far up on her thigh, knowing that she has nothing to feel self conscious about. Through her aerial fitness classes, Martin also found a new sense of confidence. Previously, when Martin told others about her pole

I’m afraid of losing her. Is there something I can do to get it straight or will my age make it difficult to straighten out? Thanks. It’s common for the penis to curve or to point in ways other then straight. Through their interviews with thousands of men in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, Alfred Kinsey and his team noted that many men reported having an erect penis that curved or that pointed up or down or left or right. A curve in and of itself is not necessarily a problem. If the curve is significant such that it makes it difficult to insert your penis into your partner’s vagina or anus then you might want to meet with a urologist who can determine if you have a condition called Peyronie’s disease, which can often be treated successfully. However, given how young you are, I would be surprised if you have a medical condition causing the curvature, unless perhaps you had some significant injury or trauma to your penis, like if your genitals were ever kicked or if you were playing sports and a ball slammed into your genitals. Sometimes those kinds of injuries can contribute to a later curvature. However, it’s also possible that you have a totally normal and common small curve, and that you and your partner just need more experience and practice having sex. If you’re having difficulty getting your penis in your partner’s body, even though you both want to have sex and are feeling sexually aroused, you might trying using lubricant. It could be that she has vaginal dryness due to using low dose birth control pills or taking other medications that are linked to lower lubrication, or because she’s nervous. Spending more time in foreplay doing things that excite her can also help to enhance her natural vaginal

lubrication. If you’re not having any difficulty with penetration, and she simply doesn’t like the look of your penis, then she might not be the right partner for you. In my professional experience, I’ve often found that people are pretty accepting of the bodies of people who they really like a lot and are “into.” If she’s not accepting of your body’s perfectly normal curve she may not be super into you, or else she may have unrealistic expectations about what men’s bodies look and feel like. Once she gets more sexual experience, she may realize that there are very few penises that are perfectly straight (nor do they need to be). Some men and their partners greatly enjoy a little curve and even use it to their advantage for g spot stimulation, so try to look at the positives and not just dwell on her negative perception.

there, and explores Polynesian works from the museum’s collection, according to a press release. Tours are available through March 31. At 2 p.m. Saturday, the museum will offer a thematic tour of its ancient jewelry collection. The tour is free and open to the public.
Locals UpFolk to play Venue By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu bemcafee24601
Bloomington band UpFolk performs music ranging from compositions inspired by medieval Irish sea shanties to rap, Venue Fine Art & Gifts owner David Colman said. UpFolk will play at the Venue at 5:30 p.m. today in the Venue. Admission is free. UpFolk features musicians Travis Puntarelli, Aaron Comforty and Marc Haggerty. Singer-songwriter Puntarelli is the center of the group, Colman said. “His range is remarkable,” Colman said. “His talent is remarkable.” Haggerty said he sings and plays many instruments in the band, including guitar, mandolin and banjo. Puntarelli is a talented, supportive and reliable musician, Haggerty said. “Travis is a phenomenon,” Haggerty said. “He’s not like anything you’ve ever seen before.” In addition to performing and writing for UpFolk, Puntarelli has also composed operas and musicals, Haggerty said. He composed music for the production “A Show of Hats: An Evening of Music & Storytelling,” which sold out at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater last year, he said. UpFolk toured the northwest coast and Canada last year, Haggerty said, and the band did not use any electric instruments or sound systems during its tour. Today’s performance is for Bloomington Unplugged, which features local acoustic musicians on the first Tuesday of every month at the Venue, Colman said. The Venue began the performance series to give musicians a different type of environment, Colman said. “They were tired of playing at bars where people talked over their music,” Colman said.

This will be the first time UpFolk will perform at Bloomington Unplugged, but they have performed at the Venue in the past, Haggerty said. “It’s a local place,” Haggerty said. “We’re very into a local ideal. We try to be connected with the audience and the people we meet.” UpFolk uses humor to connect with the audience, Haggerty said, and they were
once referred to as a comedy act at a performance in San Francisco. Haggerty said he took the description as a compliment. “Everyone in the act has a sense of humor,” Haggerty said. “Travis is hilarious. He involves the audience so much that people end up laughing and having fun.” Audience members will meet people at the UpFolk performance who will

Next Gallery Walk events announced From IDS reports
Several downtown arts venues will premier new exhibitions and offer one-off events Friday as part of the February Gallery Walk. Ten art spaces will participate in the Gallery Walk, with some seasonally themed shows and events scheduled. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Blueline Gallery will have a live printmaking workshop in which visitors can make Valentine’s Day cards, according to a press release from Gallery Walk of Bloomington. Romantic films of the 1950s will also be projected, and the gallery will feature poetry readings and work by photography and printmaking students. The Vault Gallery will offer a chocolate-focused exhibition from the Bloomington Watercolor Society in celebration of Bloomington’s Week of
Chocolate. Like most Week of Chocolate events, proceeds from the show will go to local nonprofit LIFEDesigns, the Week of Chocolate’s host. “Just in time for the month of Love,” according to the release, Gather Handmade Shoppe & Co. will present a gallery of bridal gowns by local designer Liby Ball. Ball focuses on “hard-to-fit” clients, according to her website. By Hand Gallery will showcase “Hearts Entwined,” a limestone carving collection by Albert Nelson. The show is not explicitly Valentine’s Daythemed but deals with “the importance of faith, hope and love in our daily lives,” according to the release. Among other exhibitions, Pictura Gallery will show urban photography Kai Caemmerer and Noah Addis. Caemmerer’s exhibition “Unborn Cities” focuses on the dominance of steel and

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet to speak By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu bemcafee24601
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gregory Pardlo will speak at IU today. He is a generous writer and an equally generous human being, Ruth Lilly professor and poet-in-residence Adrian Matejka said in an email. “He recognizes that poetry is a living, malleable thing that’s best experienced aloud,” Matejka said. “I’m excited for my students and the IU community to get to hear his work and interact with him.” Pardlo will read from his poetry collection “Digest,” for which he was awarded the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. The read-
ing is free and open to the public. Pardlo’s work was admired by the literary community before he won the prize, Matejka said in the Art at IU press release. “Greg has the rare ability to be innovative and inviting at the same time,” Matejka said in the release. “Audiences can expect to hear a poet who is giving of himself and his art.” His work covers topics such as parenting, race, socioeconomics and history, according to the release. Pardlo did not start his career as a poet. After a five-year break from college, he worked at a Danish restaurant and ran a blues and jazz bar with his grandfather in New Jersey. He began writing
poetry as an English major at Rutgers University-Camden, and received a master’s degree in English from New York University. He published his first poetry collection, “Totem,” in 2007. “His poetry is thoughtful, conscious of the myriad layers of American history, and simultaneously of the moment,” Matejka said in an email. “He is as comfortable writing meditations on the history of poetry as he is writing a poem about grocery shopping with his daughters in Brooklyn.” Tracy K. Smith, another Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, said in a New York Times article Pardlo is “interrogating the everyday.”
Matjka said the description strikes him as true. Matejka Gregory said he invited Pardlo Pardlo to speak at IU because of his poetry and attitude toward young artists and readers. “Professor Pardlo’s excellent book, Digest, won the Pulitzer Prize, which is among the most prestigious literary awards in the world,” Matejka said in an email. “That would be enough to want to get him here. But the fact that he’s enthusiastic about meeting and dialoguing with young writers and readers is equally important.”

IU 1st in Big Ten in defensive efficiency Despite a common perception that IU struggles defensively, it is actually ranked at the top of the Big Ten in terms of efficiency. According to kenpom.com, IU leads the conference with a 94.8 defensive efficiency rating.
In conference games alone, the Hoosiers are ranked fourth in field goal percentage defense at 43.4 percent, and fifth in points allowed with 66.4 points per game. IU has allowed more than 70 points twice in the Big Ten, against Rutgers and Wisconsin.

Rebounding key for Hoosiers By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri
After every game, IU Coach Tom Crean can pinpoint at least one area where his team can get better. Whether it’s transition defense, like it was Saturday against Minnesota, or creating better shots on offense, there’s always room for improvement. But there’s one thing Crean hasn’t had to talk about. The Hoosiers (18-4, 8-1) have out-rebounded every conference opponent so far. With the exception of IU’s first game against Wisconsin when each team collected 27 rebounds, the Hoosiers are +10.8 in rebounding margin through nine Big Ten games as they travel to Ann Arbor, Michigan, tonight.
“We’ve made a lot of improvement on the glass,” Crean said. “We spend a lot of time at it. They’re athletic, they’re quicker, they’re understanding it more.” Rebounding became an important factor at the end of a 74-68 win over Minnesota last weekend. After a 16-point first-half lead evaporated, the Hoosiers found themselves losing by one point with just a couple minutes remaining. That’s when freshman center Thomas Bryant, who nearly recorded a doubledouble with 23 points and eight rebounds, grabbed an offensive rebound and scored to put IU back on top. It helped swing the momentum back in the Hoosiers’ favor in their eventual eighth conference win. To Bryant, rebounding is just his job as the Hoosiers’
big man. “Rebounding is very important to this team,” Bryant said. “When . . . you know you can get in there, you have that mindset, you just have to go in there and get it.” In addition to what the frontcourt has done on the boards, Crean said without sophomore guard James Blackmon Jr., he needs more guard rebounding. Sophomore guard Rob Johnson had eight rebounds against the Gophers. Although Johnson hasn’t scored as consistently during Big Ten season, he’s done the little things for IU like defense and rebounding, Crean said. “We have a number (of rebounds) we want to hit and we don’t hit it very often,” he said. “Rob’s getting a lot done and it doesn’t always show up in his scoring, but
it’s showing up in different areas.” IU is currently fourth in the Big Ten in rebounds per game (38.2), while Michigan is 13th with 32.8 boards per game. Earlier this season IU used a 50-31 rebounding advantage to beat Ohio State, the third-best rebounding team in the Big Ten, by 25. Against Northwestern — a 32-point win — the Hoosiers out-rebounded the Wildcats 40-23. Crean said the ability to rebound says a lot about his team’s toughness. “Your greatest toughness level is your consistency level, right? So going to the glass consistently — that shows they’re pretty tough,” he said. “You show your toughness in different ways, and us getting to the backboards has got to be a huge part of it.”
After nearly three months and 22 games of college basketball, it’s still hard to have any real idea what this IU men’s basketball team is capable of. It’s winning. It’s won big. It’s won ugly. The only loss in the past two months came on the road and by the hand of an incredible performance by Wisconsin’s Nigel Hayes. There hasn’t been all that much negative. Tuesday, though, it’s about to become clearer. That’s because it’s about to become harder. Brace yourselves, IU fans. When IU travels to Michigan on Tuesday, it marks the beginning of the brutal stretch that we’ve all known was coming. Six of IU’s next nine games are against genuinely difficult opponents. At Michigan, home against Iowa, at Michigan State, home against Purdue, at Iowa, and it ends with a home game against Maryland. It’s not unrealistic to say IU will come out of this stretch with a winning record, and it’s not unrealistic to say it will lose all six of these games. The Hoosiers are 18-4 and have seemed to improve since the Big Ten season began. They are oddly the No. 1 Big Ten team in defensive efficiency, according to kenpom.com, and winning games even when they can’t hit a shot. Something certainly seems different from recent years. The team has finished many close games and even launched an impressive comeback against Notre Dame in December. Then one remembers IU has defeated only one team in the AP Top 25. It has losses to non-tournament teams like UNLV and Wake Forest. It can be easy to look much better against the bottom of the Big Ten. With facts put in front of them, one can argue with narratives either way.
MEN’S BASKETBALL KEY GAMES Today at Michigan (17-5, 7-2) Feb. 11 vs. Iowa (17-4, 8-1) Feb. 14 at Michigan State (19-4, 6-4) Feb. 20 vs. Purdue (19-4, 7-3) March 1 at Iowa (17-4, 8-1) March 5 or March 6 vs. Maryland (19-3, 8-2) BRODY MILLER is a junior in journalism.
That’s why this final month is so exciting. The questions will begin to go away. We will know just how good IU really is. Michigan brings one of the better offenses in the country. Senior guard Yogi Ferrell spoke about the uptempo offense Michigan Coach John Beilein utilizes. It’s probably the best offense IU will be facing since Notre Dame. It provides a look into whether IU’s impressive defensive performances are a result of competition or actual growth. The answer is usually a little bit of both. The Hoosier defense has undoubtedly become better along the perimeter, and freshman center Thomas Bryant is much better at help defense than at season’s start. If the game turns into a tempo battle, IU won’t be unprepared, as that is its calling card as well. Predictions are worthless with this game because of the reason mentioned earlier. It’s impossible to put a finger on what IU is yet. This next month will give us a definitive answer. So let’s just watch and enjoy Tuesday. brodmill@indiana.edu
Senior guard Yogi Ferrell named a finalist for Bob Cousy Award From IDS reports
IU senior point guard Yogi Ferrell has been named a finalist for the 2016 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award, according to an IU Athletics release. The honor, named after former Boston Celtic and Holy Cross guard Bob Cousy, is in its 13th year and recognizes the top point guards in Division I men’s basketball. A watch list of 20 guards was determined in October — that has now been narrowed down to 10. Ferrell leads the Hoosiers in scoring with 17.8 points per game and assists with 5.7 per game. The senior recently moved into seventh place on IU’s all-time scorers list, and he became the all-time assists leader in a game against Illinois on Jan. 19. He has helped lead IU to an 18-4 (8-1) record this season. “The athletes on this list represent the most dedicated and skillful point guards

in college basketball,” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame, in the release. “They exhibit many of the characteristics that made Mr. Cousy such a successful player, and we are pleased to be recognizing them for their accomplishments.” In March, just five finalists will remain. The
winner of the Cousy Award will be honored at the ESPN College Basketball Awards Show in Los Angeles, California on April 8. Other finalists include Tyler Ulis of Kentucky and Melo Trimble of Maryland. If Ferrell wins, he will be the first recipient from IU.

IU falls in both the AP and Coaches poll From IDS reports
The Hoosiers fell in both the AP and USA Today Coaches Poll after losing at Wisconsin and winning a close game at home against Minnesota last week. IU fell four spots in the Coaches poll to No. 21 and
three spots in the AP Poll to No. 22. Notre Dame also dropped out of the AP poll, meaning the Hoosiers no longer have a win against a ranked opponent this season. For the first time in 167 weeks, Duke is also no longer ranked in the AP Top 25 Poll. IU lost against Duke 94-74
in December. IU is the lowest ranked of the five Big Ten teams in the AP Poll. The Hoosiers have two games on the road against unranked Michigan and unranked Penn State. Michael Hughes

Ash decided to try aerial fitness because she finally had the chance to “do whatever (she) wanted.” Going into the class, Ash was skeptical at first about her ability to perform the physically-intense moves. A year later, she is still a regular student at the Wild Orchid studio. “Even though it’s considered slightly taboo, it’s definitely something that I still kind of brag about because I’m super proud of it,” Ash said. Despite Ash’s pride in her progress, some members of her family were uncertain of her decision to enroll in pole dancing classes. “I finally told my dad months after (starting the classes) and his first response was, ‘What’s the end game with this class?’, and when I finally told my grandpa months later after that, I’ve never seen him speechless his entire life, but he was speechless then,” she said. Ash participates in a variety of other activities including fencing and rock climbing. However, she said aerial fitness is the one exercise that puts her in a positive state of mind and gives her focus during the day. “With (aerial fitness), the only competition is you,” Ash said. Aerial fitness is not only a growing trend in the United States, but is also gaining attention overseas. Organizations such as the International Pole Dance Fitness Association advocate for pole fitness to become an official Olympic sport. With its rising popularity, pole dancing classes are more accessible for the public. “The aerial arts are becoming a lot more accessible though studios like Wild Orchid,” DeCastro said. “It’s not just something you see on Cirque du Soleil anymore. Now we can show PHOTOS BY KATELYN ROWE | INSIDE people it’s acceptable and that Top Mariel Rico spins around her pole as instructor Anita DeCastro gives pointers during an aerial fitness class Monday night at Wild Orchid. Left Mariel Rico bends into a backbend during an aerial fitness class. you can do this too.”
>> FITNESS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 dancing class, many had negative and sometimes derogatory remarks. “When I start talking to guys and I tell them ‘Oh I’m just going to pole dance,’ they’re like ‘Want to ride on my pole?’ or like ‘I’ve got a pole to ride,’” Martin said. “And so I’ve learned to be really assertive in the way I talk about things and I call people out when they’re being sexist.” Sammy Frazier, another one of DeCastro’s students, also enjoys the mental and emotional benefits of aerial fitness. “I have really bad anxiety and I’ve tried weightlifting, swimming, running, everything,” Frazier said. “And then I found this and it’s just such a great community. You do one small thing and they cheer for you, so you actually get out of that anxiety.” Where Frazier’s anxiety had made it difficult for her to approach new people, she now enjoys it. She also gained confidence in her body image. “I never thought that I could feel sexy about myself,” Frazier said. DeCastro hopes her students develop a sense of empowerment through their workouts at the studio. DeCastro experienced this herself by realizing how strong the exercises made her and also enjoys watching her students find this strength in themselves. “Lots of times people come in and say ‘Oh I could never do that,’ so what I like to show people is that they absolutely can with proper instruction and dedication and overcoming fear,” DeCastro said. “That’s one of the first things we preach: we don’t say ‘we can’t.’” Gwen Ash, who graduated from IU in 2014, first began aerial fitness after the end of an unsupportive relationship. In the period after her breakup,
