MEN’S SOCCER
IU blanks Cal Poly and San Diego
IDS
2-0 CP 1-0 SD From IDS reports
It took 99 minutes of scoreless soccer, but IU freshman attacker Griffin Dorsey found the winner in what was a frustrating game Sunday afternoon for the Hoosiers. After dominating possession throughout the entire match and outshooting San Diego 15-9, IU managed to pull out a win late in the game after Dorsey found some space on the right wing from 25 yards out. The Hoosiers had four 0-0 draws last year, including in games against the likes of Northwestern, when IU put on a dominating performance, but this season's attack found a way to get a win this time around. IU Coach Todd Yeagley said last Wednesday that the incoming freshmen have brought a lot of energy to the team, and he said he hopes they will find a way to be more consistent in front of the goal. The freshmen found a way Sunday. The game-winner was also Dorsey’s first IU goal, and it came at a time when the team needed it the most. IU entered the game fielding the same starting lineup employed in Friday's match against Cal Poly, but junior midfielder Austin Panchot replaced junior attacker Cory Thomas up top at the left wing. Once again, freshman Trey Muse started in goal for IU and had four saves throughout the game. Muse kept a clean sheet throughout the weekend, totaling 190 scoreless minutes. The win over San Diego came two days after Friday's 2-0 win against Cal Poly, when the Hoosiers blanked the Mustangs in dominating fashion. Junior defender Andrew Gutman opened up the scoring for IU in the eighth minute, followed by IU freshman attacker Mason Toye's goal in the 72nd minute. The Hoosiers outperformed both teams in shots and corner kicks earned, and its defense played a huge part in both wins as well. Gutman, junior defender Rece Buckmaster and senior defender Grant Lillard were all named to the Mike Berticelli All-Tournament Team for their play in both matches. Buckmaster and Lillard both played on the back line this weekend for the Hoosiers and helped the team record two clean sheets. IU is now 2-0-0 on the season and will be back in Bloomington for its next game at 8 p.m. Friday against San Francisco.

Closing the co-ops By August 2018, all IU parent-run day cares will be shut down By Kate McNeal | khmcneal@umail.iu.edu | @katemcneal11
A
dark-haired toddler pushed two toy trains around a plate, ignoring the cheese cubes he was supposed to be eating for his afternoon snack. Moments earlier, he had stood empty-handed in the middle of the playroom at the Knee High Cooperative Daycare, one of two cooperative IU campus day care centers that will be closing in August 2018 following a decision that all IU child care centers must be nationally accredited. "Where's Thomas?” the boy, Sven Weitnauer, had asked anxiously. The parent and Knee High member looked at Sven, who was one of five kids between 6 months and 3 years old currently at the center. Although the toy he wanted was not actually Thomas the Tank Engine, day care member Steve Chaplin knew what he meant. “Let’s go look in the nap room,” Chaplin said, motioning across the hall. “I think we left it on the cot.” Sven crossed into the dark room and found the cot with his name labeled above it. There were two trains, one red and one green, lying between the blankets. He ran back out, waving them around. “He is infatuated with trains," Chaplin said. Co-op members, those who bring

their children to the day care like Chaplin does, get to know the children through their required shifts each week. Chaplin and his wife, Sarah
Mincey, an academic specialist in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, have a 1-year-old son who attends the center, as well as a daughter who attended when she was young enough. There are currently five campus child care centers for IU faculty, staff and students. Three of them are traditional, nationally accredited day care centers run by child care professionals: Campus Children’s Center, Campus View Child Care Center and Hoosier Courts Nursery School. The two cooperative centers, Knee High and Sunflower Cooperative Daycare, are parent-run, giving families a heavily discounted price compared to traditional day care options. At Knee High, parents, including Mincey and Chaplin, must work a combined total of 10 hours a week. Children from ages 6 months to around 4 years can attend, and each family has an additional job to help the center run, such as University liaison, recruitment of new families or maintenance. There are also student assistants that work at the center. This staff structure helps keep costs low. The current rate at Knee High is $250 per month, per child, SEE DAY CARE, PAGE 5

Sen. Donnelly bowls, talks politics By Katelyn Haas haask@umail.iu.edu | @khaas96
Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., laced up his bowling shoes Thursday night. Donnelly stopped by the IU College Democrats bowling social event Thursday night in the Indiana Memorial Union bowling alley. He encouraged the students to stay involved and get others politically involved by getting students across campus registered to vote. “When we turn out, we win,” Donnelly said. The social event is part of a new initiative IU College Democrats are working toward this semester: combining fun activities with the opportunity for students on campus to discuss issues. Javier Fuentes-Rohwer, vice president of IU College Democrats, said the club is mixing in social events to get people excited about involvement in the group, alternating between informational sessions and social events. “Events like these are really to get people to meet other democrats,” Fuentes-Rohwer said. “To foster a sense of making friends and being a part of this club.” Terry Tossman, president of IU College Democrats, said these events are a way to facilitate membership in the club itself. He said they'll often switch back and forth between events so people can pick and choose. “The way we’ve set it up in the fall is we’ll have one event on a certain issue, whether it’s the environ-

based where you can come together and chat about issues and find a middle ground,” Smith said. “That’s why we’re all here.” Tossman said the students need people who know what it takes to work for democratic policies and create change.
It isn't every day that Spiderman, R2-D2 and Harry Potter can all be found in the same room. However, at the Indiana Toy and Comic Exposition, attendees could find all of these characters and more. The Indiana Toy and Comic Exposition is an annual convention made possible by co-owners Kris Murphy and Billy Cooper, who on Aug. 27 brought the convention to Bloomington for its third year. The ITCE is an event that gives character lovers the chance to display their fandom, to learn more about the toy and comic world and to discover new and old collectibles, Kris Cooper said. Each year, the exposition brings vendors that carry anything from Pokemon trading cards to a $2000 large-sized Luke Skywalker action figure. The event also includes cosplay contests, with people dressing up as their favorite characters. Murphy said the ITCE started five years ago after the death of Cooper's father. "This is kind of an homage to him," Murphy said. "He's the one that taught us about comic books and Jack Kirby and told us, 'You know, this is good, and this is bad.' He led us down the right path of comic books. He took

ment, whether it’s on LGBT rights, women’s issues or criminal justice,” Tossman said. “And then the following week, we’re going to do a more fun event like, say, something to do with ice cream.” This back-and-forth switch gives members a chance to find issues that they are interested in and hang out with like-minded individuals at
