‘FEMINISM MATTERS’

Students gather in Dunn Meadow to listen to Lisa Kwong before marching on Kirkwood Avenue during the Slut Walk on Thursday. The event, organized by the IU Feminist Student Association, began with a speaker series, followed by the march and ended with an open discussion on slut shaming.
Slut Walk protests rape culture and promotes changing the perception of consent By Erica Gibson ecgibson@indiana.edu | @erica_clare05
Quinn Ashley paraded down Kirkwood Avenue with rainbow duct tape covering their nipples. “Yes means yes, no means no, victim blaming’s got to go!” Ashley chanted with a crowd of about 60 people. Ashley, a freshman, marched as part of the IU Feminist Student Association’s annual Slut Walk event. Slut Walk Bloomington, which started in 2012, protests slut shaming and victim blaming. “A woman or anyone should be able to dress or present however they want without being harassed,” said Ashley, who scrawled
“#BodyPositivity” across their chest. Slut Walk began at 6 p.m. in Dunn Meadow, where the FSA set up a photobooth, tables for poster making, trivia and “slut statements.” Middle Way House also set up a table to raise awareness about abuse and sexual assault. Meg Davis, a sophomore, said this was her first Slut Walk. “It’s also the first time I’ve talked about my sexual assault,” said Davis, who posed at the photobooth with a white board that read, “I wasn’t asking for it.” “I’m just glad to be in a giant circle of feminist people,” she said. Casper Mendes, an agender high school student wearing a crochet vulva pin on their jacket, made a pink, blue and purple poster that read,
PERSONAL ESSAY
When the hardest thing is waking up The sky was gray the day I thought about jumping off the Smithfield Street Bridge. Everything was gray, really, in Pittsburgh that summer. The sky, layered with clouds. The sidewalk. The water. The cars. My mind was blank as I crossed the bridge, a path I’d followed dozens of times before between my parking space and my apartment. My eyes glazed over. I couldn’t hear the music in my headphones. I stopped on the pavement and leaned against the cold railing of the bridge, gazing down at the choppy water. The air around me felt too heavy. Would anyone try to stop me? Was it a far enough drop to kill me? How cold was the water in July? Would I really want to die? Under that blue arch I thought about how easy the motions would be: one leg over, then the other. Then just let go. I closed my eyes. I breathed in the thick air, drawing deep into my lungs, but it choked me. In that moment, when my time stood still, people kept talking, laughing, listening to music, flirting, fighting, feeling. It seemed like I hadn’t felt anything in a hundred years. I looked back down. I thought about the pain that grasped at me every day. It would be a way out. It would be so easy. * * * I was never formally diagnosed with depression until I was 20 years old and halfway through my college career, but that was far from the first time I felt it. When I finally did seek professional help, my therapist suggested I was dealing with “double depression” — a term I’d never heard before that describes a condition of major depression overlying years of dysthymia, or a more minor, steady low mood. On top of this, I started having trouble breathing, sleeping, slowing my mind. We added anxiety to my list. Physically and mentally, I obsessed over everything that happened in my life: OCD. I’d been blessed with a trifecta of mental problems during what people call the “best four years of your life.” Depression doesn’t really have a definition in our modern social climate. It’s become such a commonplace word, meaning little more than “kind of sad” and used so dramatically in colloquial speech that its usage as a label for a serious mental disease has become more or less obsolete.
But the world — and this campus — is full of people who hurt when they hear that word, “depression,” used like it means nothing. I wish I felt the kind of disappointment people refer to when they comment that something is “so depressing.” That kind of depression doesn’t leave your body aching. Depression is not the flu or a broken arm. You can’t see it, and for that reason, it often goes unnoticed. But, while it trails slightly behind anxiety in many medical studies, an American Psychological Association study found in recent years, up to 30 percent of college students have seriously considered suicide. Psych Central has reported that close to half of all college students have admitted to feeling depressive symptoms throughout their years at university. The condition is not, as a Google image search suggests, exclusively people wearing dark clothes, curled against a wall in a lightless room with their knees to their chests. Is that depression? Yes. Sometimes. For some people. Sometimes it’s me, but depression looks different for everyone. More often than not, it is invisible or well-disguised. And it’s everywhere. And people aren’t talking about it. * * * The first thing I learned about mental illness is that it’s inconsiderate. As depression and anxiety came into my life full force as an upperclassman in college, it was pretty clear they didn’t care at all I was trying to execute a circus act of balancing work, school, me time and a social life. I’d already perfected my everything-is-great face, so nobody noticed as it creeped in and started to steal parts of me. Sometimes I didn’t notice, between my polished posts on social media and the forced smiles in pictures. I’d make a bet you couldn’t find one picture of me frowning during the worst of it. Working through college while battling depression feels nearly impossible to me at times. A term paper just stops seeming important when you don’t care if you live or die. But my depression takes what it wants, when it wants it. It might take all of my energy one day, my motivation the other. For a time it stole the entirety of my passion for my career, all of my drive to write. It steals my hunger, then my ability to cook and clean and sleep and go outside and

My depression has a voice, and it’s loud. And persistent. One day, I somehow found the energy during a bad depressive episode to write down everything that voice in my head wouldn’t stop screaming. Helpless, I scrawled. Hopeless. Guilty. Bad girlfriend. Unappreciative. I don’t try hard enough. I could be better, but I choose not to be. Confused. Aimless. Irrational. Isolated. And I believed every single one of those things in that moment. My depression consumed my thoughts, my head, my whole body. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I can’t remember what triggered the episode, but it never really mattered — it was almost always something seemingly insignificant. A flat tire, a broken pen, no free seats at Barnes and Noble. I started to drop my IU classes because even one class’s worth of assignments already seemed like too much for me to wrap my head around. What I couldn’t drop, I skipped as much as I could. I needed people to stop asking me about my future. Didn’t they know I was just trying to get through the next hour? The hectic atmosphere at a university like IU has been wonderful for me at times, and I’ve loved college. But my last two years weren’t what I thought they’d be. Campus made me panic because I wanted to be alone with my thoughts. Classes made me anxious. Work was a responsibility and I didn’t feel like I could commit to anything because my mood changes were so sporadic. I was often too depressive to want to be in any social situations. I don’t try hard enough, I’d written in that blue notebook in my bathroom. I can never give people what SEE JUMP, PAGE 6

Weekend rape reported to BPD From IDS reports
A 21-year-old woman reported Wednesday she had been sexually assaulted last weekend on the city’s east side, according to a police report. The assault occurred in the early hours of the morning Friday, April 15 during Little 500. The alleged rapist is a man known to the victim, according to the report. The woman declined medical
treatment and did not receive a trauma kit, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Joe Crider said. BPD has opened a criminal investigation, Crider said. Because the case is active, information regarding the reported rape’s proximity to campus, a description of the alleged rapist and an indication of whether or not the woman is an IU student were not provided.

Cruz makes stop in Indianapolis for GOP dinner Thursday By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyernsberger
INDIANAPOLIS — Presidential candidate Ted Cruz promised tax cuts, job creation and religious freedom to a sold-out crowd at the Indiana Republican Spring Dinner on Thursday in Indianapolis. The dinner and Cruz’s visit come ahead of Indiana’s May 3 primary. Cruz, the second Republican candidate to visit Indianapolis this week, promoted Indiana politics as a model for how the United States should be run and how he would like to lead
as president. “This next election will focus on three things: jobs, freedom and security,” Cruz said. Cruz laid out his platform, which was echoed in speeches by Sen. Dan Coats and Gov. Mike Pence. Cruz advocated for abolishing the IRS, repealing the Affordable Care Act, instituting a flat tax, job creation through infrastructure projects, school choice and religious freedom legislation.

IU students call for inclusion By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu @emanmozaffar
Juno Huang said she unsuccessfully approached several organizations in an attempt to improve the campus culture surrounding international students. “I feel helpless and hopeless,” the sophomore said. “IU is missing the point with its diversity efforts. They can talk about their diverse numbers, but that doesn’t mean the campus is doing enough to be inclusive.” Despite recent University efforts to promote diversity and inclusion, Huang and other international students said they feel IU is doing far from enough. As an international student from Taiwan, Huang said the gap between international and domestic students is widening. She has gone to Residential Programs and Services, the IU Student Association and the Office of International Services to discuss her plans and concerns. “I went to them with a list of suggestions,” Huang said. “They’ll tell me they support me, but not to quote them on it. Also, many groups, like IUSA, haven’t given me responses at all.” Huang’s suggestions included making a more useful new student orientation for international students, implementing a training program for staff members and promoting intercultural events on a larger scale. International students don’t feel comfortable in class or on campus, Huang said. She said the new environment can be overwhelming and domestic students fail to reach out and act
welcoming. “We see students dividing in two groups automatically, and this is a problem for everyone,” Huang said. “It’s an issue that has to be fixed by everyone working together and getting domestic students to just care.” Huang said IU is supportive in the beginning while recruiting new students. However, international students are left to fend for themselves after the school year starts. “There are so many services to make IU look good for the people who are coming in,” Huang said. “After we step on campus, that’s when the drama and isolation begins.” After spending a year as an IUSA congressional representative, junior Ardin Yeo said he was frustrated with the student government’s culture of inaction. Yeo wrote a letter expressing his concerns about the lack of resolutions passed to help international students to IUSA at the end of his term. “IUSA has the power and resources to enforce great resolutions that make a difference on campus,” Yeo said. “The problem is, IUSA is good at talking, but not taking any action.” Yeo said IU is not making effective use of its potential to help international students. Since he arrived from Singapore, he said students, faculty and staff have been unwilling to help others and the sparse programming they implement is almost never productive. “The administration is good at organizing task forces, town hall meetings and campaigns,” Yeo said. “But after these events are over, what happens? Nothing.”
The biggest problem between groups is a lack of understanding and communication, Yeo said. He said the IU experience is large-scale and impersonal, which puts a divide between international and domestic students. “We can’t point fingers,” Yeo said. “The problem is the culture of individualistic values and the lack of exposure to different cultures for people who are from here. We can change that if the powerful groups on campus actually get out of their gridlock.” Graduate student Yvonne Zhao said she felt tensions between international and domestic students after she came to IU from Beijing. She said she wanted to start a dialogue to improve these relationships. The Society for InterCultural Understanding began earlier this semester to fill the communication gap between these two groups, Zhao said. “There are few efforts on campus by students,” Zhao said. “We want to show these underrepresented groups actually exist.” Zhao was recently elected as the international student representative for the School of Public and Environmental Affairs Graduate Student Association. She said her organization aims to showcase different cultures and experiences in a hope to educate people on campus. The Society for InterCultural Understanding will have round table discussions where international voices can speak about international issues. In addition, their campaign, “Who’s Who at SICU,” will feature students from different groups and
countries, and will tell the detailed histories of students from before they arrived on campus and how they have adapted to their new environment. “International students are more than just people who are bad at speaking English,” Zhao said. “We’re real people with different cultures and backgrounds, and we are here for a reason.” Angela Gast, director of international student engagement, has had her position since the beginning of this year. “This is a new role within the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education,” Gast said. “I look at the challenges international students face every day in hopes to come up with new programming.” Gast oversees the IU2U program, a group that meets with incoming freshman international students to help ease their transition period at a university far away from home. “IU2U is growing,” Gast said. “Our goal is to meet with at least half of the international freshman class and reach out to more current students to make sure they have what they need in the long term.” Students are right to have their concerns, and they should never hesitate to approach her or the Office of International Services if they need academic or social support, Gast said. “We need feedback from students,” Gast said. “We have a lot of new programming coming in for the future, especially for ongoing support, because that’s where students have the most concerns. The more input there is, the better.”
REAL for IUSA makes elections appeals By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich
For the IU Student Association election tickets, it’s a waiting game. Although preliminary results for the 2016 student elections were announced nearly two weeks ago, the new IUSA executive administration is still unknown. After accepting six complaints, the election commission made its final decisions Monday. Now, however, it’s in the hands of the IUSA Supreme Court. Tickets submitted appeals regarding the commission’s final decisions Wednesday night to the Student Body Supreme Court. From there, the Supreme Court will decide if it wants to accept an appeal. If it decides to accept an appeal, different parties, such as tickets or the election commission, can write reply briefs. Then there will be a public hearing based on each appeal where each side will present their case before the final decision is made. “I hope that each ticket gets the opportunity to let their voice be heard and to present their case,” Adam Kehoe, commission chairman, said. “I hope we’re given the opportunity to do the same.”
After being at IU for 105 years, the National Pan-Hellenic Council will be getting visual representation on campus. NPHC will accomplish this with the Divine Nine Plots Project. This will be a monument in honor of NPHC, said Lindsay Echols, the senior assistant director of fraternity and sorority life. “It will serve as a monument to show that black culture is alive and thriving here at Indiana University,” Echols said. “This is to pay homage to people who have been members of black culture in the past and the future.” The monument will be made up of 10 small plots, Echols said. Nine will be for the nine NPHC chapters at IU, and one will be for the NPHC governing council. The designs for each of the plots will be different and will bear the names of the chapters, as well as their respective shields, NPHC President Frank Bonner said. IU will be the first Big Ten institution in the country to have a plot project for NPHC like this, Echols said. It is the plan of NPHC to put the monument in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center courtyard, Echols said. In order to have it built, Echols said NPHC is trying to raise $100,000 for the Plots Project. So far, about $14,000 has been raised for the project. Echols said she hopes to have the money raised by the 2016 homecoming and to have the monument built by Little 500 next spring semester. Bonner said if they raise money sooner, the plot can be built sooner. “The sooner we can get it raised, the better,” Bonner said. Each NPHC chapter is in charge of raising $2000 for the Plots Project, Echols said. She said NPHC has also been reaching out to

fraud. “The most frustrating thing is we didn’t commit voter fraud, and so many students who voted for us are getting disenfranchised,” REAL President Sara Zaheer said. The commission accepted three complaints filed by RISE against REAL. One complaint stated the College Democrats sent out an email endorsing REAL, and included a link used for student voting. Sending out the voting link is considered
voting fraud, according to the election code. The commission’s decision stated the College Democrats executive board committed voter fraud, and since REAL members were on this executive board, REAL committed voter fraud.

various alumni and companies for funds. NPHC also started a Fundly page, which raised about $3,000 with the help of more than 100 donors, according to the page. “We are really trying to get creative with our alumni and the people and families of our community to get people to donate to the Plot Project,” Bonner said. On IU Day last week, Bonner said NPHC set up a booth by Showalter Fountain, where they advocated and educated others about the Plots Project. The IU Foundation offered a challenge for the project: if the Plots Project could get at least 45 donors during the tabling, the Foundation would offer an additional $1,500 to go toward the project. Bonner said the project had 80 donors throughout the day. The idea for the Plots Project was conceived about 10 years ago, Echols said. However, Bonner said the idea faded over time and wasn’t considered again until about a year ago. “It was kind of snowballing, and now we’re trying to get it amped up again,” Bonner said. Because it will be the first visual representation of NPHC on campus, Bonner said he believes the Plots Project will have a positive effect on the influence and culture of NPHC. He said more people will know about the Council because of the monument. “Having a plot will let people know about our presence on campus,” Bonner said. “They will want to inquire more about the Council because we will actually have visual representation on campus.” With this monument, Echol said she believes it can show others that NPHC is just as relevant to greek life as it is to black culture. “Unfortunately, not a lot of people know about the National Pan-Hellenic Council,” Echols said. “This will be something that shows it.”

Students work with inmates for changes By Emily Abshire eabshire@indiana.edu | @emily_abs
IU students advocated for incarcerated individuals Wednesday night at the Bloomington Common Council meeting by posing challenges to change aspects of addiction programs and city policing. The group of nine students from associate instructor Lindsey Badger’s Public Oral Communication class each were allotted two to three minutes, enforced by the council president, to give abbreviated speeches inspired by collaborations with inmates at the Monroe County Jail. “Each of us sits as one person between somebody who is incarcerated and feels like they have no voice, and people who are making decisions about their incarceration,” Badger said. The first to address the council was sophomore Whitney Snyder with the general challenge to increase funding for addiction programs. The number of offenders on probation for substancerelated offenses has continued to rise since 2012, she said. More programs are necessary for increased rates of sobriety. Current programs have high success rates, but they can only accept limited amounts of people. “Keeping prison people in the continuum, getting incarcerated over and over again, isn’t benefiting anybody,” Snyder said. Junior Zander Dailey presented an alternative program in which a substance abuser is paired with a recovered abuser. This allows abusers direct control of their lives without government interference, he said. Senior Lily Feldman challenged the police to
transfer addicts to the public health sphere, rather than the criminal justice system. After each student had gone to the podium, the group exited the room and exchanged congratulations. Snyder said she was disappointed with the short time limit. Dailey’s and Feldman’s printed essays had entire paragraphs marked out and others highlighted and starred. Feldman had scribbled in the margins which paragraphs to skip if allotted only three minutes to make her point. The three had been working in the same class group and advocated for harm reduction and sober living. Their classroom was not in one of the buildings found on an IU map. Each class was at the Monroe County Jail with 10 students from IU and 12 pretrial incarcerated students, said junior Eliot Cremin, another member of their group. At every visit, the IU students signed in at the jail, had their IDs checked and waited to hear the buzzer that signaled their entrance clearance. All 22 of them sat in a locked room for three hours to discuss criminal justice issues and to practice giving speeches, Feldman said. “I think that people have this picture of incarcerated people being really rough and rude and weird, but they’re all so sweet,” Snyder said. “After talking to these inmates, I realized how much of an issue these things really are. So, I think it’s really cool that we’re actually able to come here, we’re encouraged to come here to the city council meeting and speak.” The students attend other public meetings and also facilitate meetings inside the jail. “It’s a site where we can
actually continue the dialogue with the city and make sure that what we do, literally behind locked doors, can be heard and brought out so that other people can engage with some of the ideas that are locked up,” Badger said. “It’s not just people that are locked up. There are a lot of really, really, really good ideas that are locked up.” The class is a bridge between the jail and community, Badger said. However, this bridge will no longer exist come next semester. The specialized section of the class will not be offered because Badger’s major in communication and culture doesn’t match the faculty qualifications to teach the class, she said. The small group exchanged stories on how the class has affected them. “I’ve had two classes at IU that have had some kind of an impact on me,” Snyder said. This class was one of them. It changed her perspective of inmates and made her more open-minded, she said. Dailey and Feldman said the class altered their future plans. “Even though I’m not planning on going into criminal justice or advocating, I can still see myself maybe applying to be on my own city council when I do graduate and advocate for the rights of incarcerated people,” Dailey said. Feldman said she could see herself doing this type of work as a career. She was surprised how much could get accomplished by simply speaking and advocating. “I haven’t had a student yet, even those who think they’re totally outside the system, leave saying, ‘Oh this doesn’t affect me,’” Badger said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 the complaint should have been dismissed. Another complaint stated a member of REAL’s ticket made a Facebook post supporting the ticket and distributing the voting link. REAL claims the student was never a part of their ticket and was therefore a third party who was allowed to make posts such as this. “The worst part is accusing other organizations of committing voter fraud,” Zaheer said. For RISE for IUSA President Naomi Kellogg, the integrity of the election was important, especially after the disqualification of a ticket last year. The fact that a ticket could win while committing voter fraud is disappointing, she said. “Most of the people running this year had knowledge of how important it is that if you’re going to win, you need to win fairly,” Kellogg said. The ticket that takes office should have the voters’ trust, she added. “How do we expect voters to have faith in IUSA if you can get away with voter fraud?” Kellogg said.

the beginning of the semester was the bias of the election commission. The election commission has a member of last year’s Amplify ticket. Ever since they found out who would be on the election commission, Zaheer said REAL was worried the process wouldn’t be fair. “They say this one loud voice is experienced, but we’re saying it’s biased,” Zaheer said. Kellogg said the process has been 100 percent fair. Since the election commission is a group of students just like the tickets, it’s hard to remain completely unbiased. However, one of the best parts of the Supreme Court is they have been so removed from the process until now, Kellogg said. Although REAL is concerned with how RISE got evidence against them, Kellogg said all evidence against REAL is legal and correct. “It’s all there and was all obtained legally,” Kellogg said. “It’s about the fact that there is black and white proof of dishonesty.” Zaheer said the biggest reason REAL decided to appeal is because of what this could mean for future elections — the commission was irresponsible throughout the process.
“The reason we’re appealing is because what the commission allowed to happen will set a horrible precedent for the future,” Zaheer said. Although they were frustrated with the complaint results, Zaheer said it’s still impressive that after deductions, REAL was still able to win. “We knew it was going to be an uphill battle, but it’s a testament to the work our staff has done for the past three or four months,” Zaheer said. At the end of the day, Kehoe said it’s a contest, so someone has to lose. It’s natural for there to be disappointment if something doesn’t go a certain way. “You can’t please everyone, but we really tried to do our best,” Kehoe said. Zaheer said the long process is frustrating because it’s holding the next administration back from having time to staff and work on platforms. Kellogg urged people to not get discouraged by this long process. Last year, it took nearly three weeks to announce the official winner. “It should be a very meticulous, thought-out process that people take seriously,” Kellogg said. “This process exists, and it exists for a reason.”

Muslim women speak about representation By Cody Thompson comthomp@indiana.edu @codymichael3
The black cloth covered her neck, her ears and the color of her hair, but she said her hijab doesn’t restrict her freedom. Katherine Barrus is an IU graduate student from Marion, Indiana, who converted to Islam five years ago. She is one of the many women involved in the local Islamic community, and she said women are treated equally in Islam. Differently, but equally. Women are allowed to serve in a variety of positions at the Islamic Center of Bloomington, but they are not allowed to lead in prayer or preach in sermons. Several women said this is for more practical and traditional reasons rather than discriminatory ones. “When it comes to men and women as people, I think they are different,” Barrus said. “I like that my religion acknowledges that while also acknowledging that we both have rights and responsibilities.” In the mosque during Friday prayers, the men pray upstairs while the women pray below. This separation is mostly because of the population issues that occur with Friday prayer’s popularity, Anna Maïdi, the mosque’s Women’s Committee President, said. In addition, Maïdi and Barrus said they would feel uncomfortable praying in such close proximity to men because of the naturally prostrated position of their prayer. Maïdi she said enjoys praying upstairs and, if space allowed, she would enjoy praying there at all times, but she is not against praying separately in the basement. “There are certainly some sisters that feel more comfortable praying in their own space,” Maïdi said. “It’s nice really to have that place. It’s very homey and comfy to have a special place for you and your friends and God.” Sisters are allowed to pray upstairs when the opportunity is available on days that aren’t as busy as Friday prayer. There have been recent pushes from women around the world wanting permission to lead sermons and

Katherine Barrus speaks about how Muslim women are often misrepresented in American society Thursday at the Islamic Center of Bloomington. Barrus was born in Marion, Indiana. She converted to Islam when she was an undergraduate five years ago. She taught English in the United Arab Emirates for two years and now studies at IU as a master’s student. She said many people still misunderstand Islam as a coercive religion toward women.
prayer, Maïdi said. She said it doesn’t bother her because she is happy to have a brother lead. She said she sees it as tradition, rather than discrimination. In other mosques, where the men and women pray in the same room, the women are typically gathered behind the men, Maïdi said. She said it’s common sense and attributed to the compromising praying position. “It’s tough,” Maïdi said. “All these issues are tough.” Women everywhere are oppressed, and it’s not a problem inherent to Islam, Blomington resident and mosque attendee Erica Vagedes said. Some societies are oppressing women, and different women have different interpretations of the word oppression, she said. “Things have really changed a lot in the last 150 years,” Vagedes said. “It’s a big challenge to any traditional religion. It can be said for many different cultural things. Do they want to draw fine, stark lines, or do people want to adapt?” A lack of equality is an

issue around the world, Maïdi said. However, all three women agreed their mosque handles the treatment of women well. The mosque has a variety of boards, and the board of trustees requiring the presence of at least one woman at all times, Maïdi said. As president of the women’s committee, Maïdi said she handles any issues with women that occur in the mosque. Outside the Bloomington mosque, another issue frequently brought up in the discussion of female representation in Islam is the hijab. Whether it’s the controversey in France over the ban of full veils, or the views of some feminist groups against the hijab, the head scarf is often a discussion in media. The assumption that a hijab is a form of oppression to Muslim women is incorrect because more clothes does not necessarily equate to lesser freedom, Barrus said. In fact, she said, a hijab is the opposite of oppressive. “I like being able to
choose, and when I wear the hijab people look at me for me,” she said. “I choose what I want to reveal. If I want to take this off, I could, and if I wanted to wear something skimpy, I could, but I choose to wear this.” Barrus said Islam does not force her to wear a hijab, and if anyone did, he or she would be going against the teaching of Islam, because the intention of the wearer matters. Women feel empowered when they wear a hijab, Maïdi said. She has a blog series titled “The Hijabi Diaries,” which tells the stories of local Muslim women. Barrus was one of the women featured in the series. Maïdi said the hijab has become a symbol of Islam even though there is no symbolic significance at all other than on a personal level. It often leads to people not knowing how to look at a woman wearing one on the street, she said. “We talk about it as a women’s rights issue, but I think it goes a little deeper than that,” Maïdi said. “Whenever we’re talking
about women, we’re talking about hijabs, and women are not hijabs.” Barrus lived in the United Arab Emirates for two years and taught English. She said women there are treated with an immense amount of respect. She said women are actually far less respected in the United States than they are there. Women’s representation in Islam is misconstrued, Barrus said. “I got treated with so much respect over there that I didn’t want to leave,” Barrus said. “That cat-calling stuff is not okay. Women are supposed to be respected, and that’s part of Islam as well.” The media’s poor portrayal of Muslim women is a major factor of a lack of understanding, Maïdi said. “If we’re only talking about these bad things that are happening like violence and barring of rights, then we’re never going to get a broader picture,” Maïdi said. “We’re only getting a focus on these particular issues.”
“Things have really changed a lot in the last 150 years. It’s a big challenge to any traditional religion. It can be said for many different cultural things. Do they want to draw fine, stark lines, or do people want to adapt?” Erica Vagedes, Blomington resident and mosque attendee
It’s easy to talk about theory and what it would be like, Maïdi said. Those issues are important, but actually talking to Muslim women is a better way of of finding out how they feel, she said. The lessons of Islam push for qualities like generosity and love, Vagedes said, and that’s something that can be shared with men and women. “It’s extremely equalized — no men, no women,” Vagedes said. “Everyone can experience need, poverty or pain.”
Group tries to reduce plastic bags By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@umail.iu.edu @Anne_Halliwell
On April 11, Bring Your Bag Bloomington members met to brainstorm ways to disseminate reuseable bags. Their tools: a heap of cloth bags, social media and determination. The environmental group, which tried to regulate plastic bag use in Bloomington to reduce litter, was set back by the passage of House Bill 1053, which prohibits any local government from doing so. Sura Gail Tala, a BYBB member, has made 75 of a projected 250 bags out of discarded curtain cloth. Tala sells some, but is looking for a way to buy reusable bags from a corporation like ChicoBag or Bagpodz to resell in Bloomington. “I don’t even care if we make a profit,” Tala said. “I just want people to have them.” A week before the meeting, BYBB co-founder Libby Gwynn contemplated Gov. Mike Pence’s decision to protect use of disposable containers. “We tried,” she said. “We did a campaign to have people call and write to the governor to ask him to veto. But he didn’t, and we didn’t expect him to.” The bill, signed March 23, prohibits local governments from restricting or placing a fee on the use of any disposable containers, including plastic bags and styrofoam. Moving forward, any community change will all hinge on people’s decisions not to use plastic bags voluntarily, Gwynn said.
“A lot of people are resistant to being told what to do,” she said. “It was all about individual freedom, I think.” The average American family brings home about 1,500 plastic bags every year, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. The ordinance BYBB wrote asked for a 15-cent fee added to shopping totals for plastic and paper bags for one year, after which plastic bags would be banned and paper bags would keep the fee. Before the 2016 legislative session, BYBB reached out to former mayor Mark Kruzan and city council. The plan was to revisit the ordinance in January, Gwynn said. Instead, the group watched as the legislation banning any city or county regulation passed quickly through the Indiana House and Senate and moved to Pence’s desk. Rep. Ron Bacon, R-Chandler, authored HB 1053 in response to BYBB’s ordinance and others around the U.S. He said he opposed community regulation precisely because it was not homogenous. “If we want to ban it, we can ban it, but we have to do it together,” he said. “Come to the Statehouse, we’ll make a law and bring it up, and we’ll testify and see if we all want to do it together.” Bacon said he worried about applying local ordinances to vistors. “You’ve got a hodgepodge of laws throughout Indiana, then,” he said. “I would like less regulation.” People may have trouble moving their groceries,

clothing or restaurant meals home from a shopping center in another town, Bacon said. “Banning it is not going to make a difference on this,” he said. “We need to push recycling on this.” Andrea Jobe disagrees. She told BYBB about the plastic bags she routinely finds during creek cleanups off Barrington Drive. “It is just scattered throughout our ecosystem,” said Jobe, an interior designer for RPS. “This group has really made me conscious of how big a problem it is. I can’t go on a walk with my dog without encountering five or six.” On April 13, some BYBB members met with Mayor John Hamilton privately to float ideas to him about declaring a week or day free of plastic bags. Jacqui Bauer, the City’s Sustainability Coordinator, also suggested that, as HB 1053 does not go into effect until July 1, the city council could still pass a resolution about plastic bags. The resolution would be overturned by state law
shortly afterward, but it would make a statement, Bauer said. “It would be a way to say, ‘Here is what we’re going to do to reduce plastic bag waste in Bloomington,’” she said. “‘State laws be damned.’” Gwynn emailed a council member who told her if the mayor backs a resolution, it could give it enough weight to make it through city council. Mary Catherine Carmichael, the City’s interim communications officer, said the mayor supported BYBB’s grassroots efforts. Hamilton thought plastic bag regulation should have remained a local choice, she said. “The mayor is a huge environmental supporter and is deeply concerned,” she said. HB 1053’s passage will leave it up to Bloomington residents to make a permanent, personal change. “We can make it a grassroots effort, and maybe that will be better, to talk to people on a one-to-one basis,” Gwynn said. “That’s how people change, and people react very positively to that.”

Pence did not endorse either candidate, and said he would support whoever defeated Democrats in the general election. Because Indiana’s primary is much later compared to the majority of states’, the votes cast are usually not as decisive to whom a party’s candidate will be. Because Republican and Democratic frontrunners are relatively close, however, Indiana will play a critical role in who will win either nomination. “Indiana’s a megaphone to the country will decide which path this party goes down, and which path this nation goes down,” Cruz

There are days I lay in bed and contort my body to try and ease the physical pain that comes with the mental anguish. Days I go from feeling burning to numbness to exhaustion to anxiety. Days I pray to a god I don’t even believe in because it hurts so much. My stomach drops when I re-read the last four words on the page. It will never end. * * * At first glance, I probably don’t seem like a prime candidate for major depression. Ask anyone who’s known me for the past four years, and they would probably say it seems impossible for someone who
said. Trump and Cruz have 845 and 559 pledged delegates, respectively, while Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have 1,930 and 1,189 pledged delegates, respectively. Cruz, Pence and Coats all discussed religious freedom, saying America will not be a great nation unless Judeo-Christian values are secured. “If you believe in religious freedom, if you believe in civil liberties, you are one liberal injustice away from it being stripped from you,” Cruz said. Other speech themes included job security for manufacturing and coal industries and how to defeat Clinton in the general election. Cruz praised Pence for his support of religious freedom legislation and tax cuts, calling Pence an example of what Republicans should be like as policy makers. He also promoted school choice, calling it the smiles so much and wears as many bows in her hair as I do to hurt like that. But it hit me, and it hit hard. At the beginning, it was chaos. I stopped looking both ways when I crossed busy streets. I didn’t worry about walking alone in a city at night anymore. I drove too fast in thunderstorms, almost hoping for an accident. My personal relationships suffered. My mom admitted she was nervous to see me for the first time in five months when we reunited in the summer, unsure of how dealing with my depression might have changed me. I didn’t know how to talk to people, and people didn’t know how to talk to me. It was difficult at times to continue conversations with people who didn’t understand, because there’s a laundry list of things you can’t really say to a depressed person. When I had to miss school or work, telling my boss or professor why I’d been absent resulted in awkward moments. A boss once told me
“social justice issue of the 21st century,” and praised Pence for promoting school choice and voucher programs. A small group of antiPence protesters were outside the event and were relatively calm. Cruz did not choose to criticize Trump for the way he has run his campaign, but rather for what he means to other Republicans. “If (Trump) wins, we will lose two-thirds of Congress, and then we have no chance of beating Hillary Clinton,” Cruz said. He did say, however, he was glad to be a part of an exciting election, for both parties. Pence agreed, saying he is excited to see Indiana play a significant role in the election and is optimistic about Republican victories at the state and federal level. “The best days for Indiana, and for America, are yet to come,” Pence said. that he hadn’t needed to hear so much information, just that I’d been out sick. A teacher avoided eye contact with me for two weeks in class. Would they have been so uncomfortable if I’d been out with a case of mono? Friends didn’t know how to react when they found out what was going on, and many of them fell away. Twice, my boyfriend and I broke up. I screwed my eyes shut and tried, hard, not to think about what I’d written in my little blue notebook, what I felt about every relationship I had, even with my family. I tried to not let my depression be right. But there it was, in tiny lowercase letters squeezed between lines of messy writing. I’ll push them away. * * * On June 24, 2015, I sank against the bathroom cabinet in my Pittsburgh apartment and let my body slump against the cold tile floor. I was exhausted.

and middle-class, so we thought it was important to acknowledge other voices.” Three speakers addressed the crowd. Graduate student Shadia Siliman criticized respectability politics, Middle Way House representative Evelyn Smith spoke about violence against transgender women and professor Lisa Kwong spoke about stereotypes of female Asian sexuality. “We are not your China dolls or dragon ladies,” Kwong said. “We are warriors, we are survivors, we are human beings.” After the speakers finished, the crowd marched into downtown Bloomington. “This little black dress does not mean yes,” they chanted. A group of men eating outside Noodles & Company on Kirkwood laughed as girls in bras and Daisy Dukes strutted past them. IU Dance Marathon fundraisers For days, I had seen nothing but black. I was taking two-hour lunch breaks in the middle of my job every day because I was constantly being triggered into debilitating panic attacks. I’d have to spend an hour in my bathroom every afternoon and wait for my breath to stop hitching on every inhale. Then I’d take a shower, wash all of the runny makeup off my face and begin again. Sometimes I made it back to work. Sometimes I slipped back under my covers, fell asleep at 2 p.m. and told my boss I wasn’t coming back to the office. It had been weeks of this pattern, and I was frustrated. I was angry with myself for not being able to beat this more quickly. I was angry with my therapist for not fixing me faster. I was angry at the drugs I’d just started taking, because I had to wait six weeks for them to help me at all and I needed help now.

Across from FARM Bloomington, Ann Shedd turned to her 8-year-old daughter. “I don’t know if you understand this, but I’m going to explain it to you,” Shedd said. “They’re saying, ‘Just because I look good doesn’t mean you can touch me.’” Shedd said it was hard to

breathed with the relief of transferring my mental hurt into physical pain. My depression was screaming at me again, telling me how worthless I was, how I’d never get better. And, like usual, I was listening. The next day, I woke up sore, with my eyes swollen half-shut from crying. It took me too long to get out of bed, and I had to force myself to eat. But I woke up.
I didn’t feel good — not at all. But I was alive. I’ve made it through 10 months since that day, and every hour still feels like an accomplishment. But every hour also feels like progress. Dealing with depression and anxiety is a process that takes an immense amount of patience and a willingness to learn with an open mind. It will always be there, but my first serious encounter with depression happened within the inconvenient boundaries of my college career, and that’s the reality for thousands of other college students. Now, I take two antidepressants and one anti-anxiety drug every day, and I don’t feel like they’re a crutch anymore. I exercise all the time for the natural high. I laugh. I smile with all of my teeth and both of my dimples, and most of the time, I mean it. I pull myself off of my bathroom floor. I keep my nails cut short. I cross bridges. I go to class. I get through work. But, most importantly: I wake up.
* * * When I stood on the Smithfield Street Bridge that day, I kept waiting for it to rain. The clouds were dark, and it was the only conceivable way, in my mind, things could get even worse at that moment. It seemed appropriate. But it didn’t rain. And my feet walked me away from the railing, following that path they’d memorized, over the bridge and through two traffic lights and around the corner and up the elevator to the fourth floor.

Hoosiers face Spartans in pivotal Big Ten series By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali
The last time the Hoosiers played at Michigan State, they were swept off three straight walk-off wins. In the same year, the Hoosiers made an improbable run to the College World Series and used those three late-inning losses to figure out who they were as a team. This weekend when IU (21-14, 6-3) travels to Michigan State (26-8, 7-2), it will be a major test to see where they match up against one of the Big Ten’s best. “It’s going to be a very big test for us, obviously the best Big Ten opponent we’ve played,” senior starting pitcher Kyle Hart said. “They’re going to have great pitching and great offense, obviously, which is going to be a great test for our pitching staff.” The road trip to East Lansing will be the first conference matchup the Hoosiers have played away from Bart Kaufman Field since the beginning of April. The Spartans feature a balanced lineup, ranking 20th in the nation, with a team average of .307 with junior Jordan Zimmerman’s leading the club at a .417 clip. Although the Spartans sit atop the Big Ten standings, there is just one game that separates them and the fifthplace Hoosiers in a tight knit conference. For how good their statistics are, the Spartans have shown their vulnerability lately by dropping the series finale to last-place Purdue on Sunday and a 1-0 pitchers duel against Notre Dame on Tuesday. Michigan State also blew a two-run lead in the ninth inning Wednesday against a nine-win Western Michigan club, but the Spartans were able to rally in the bottom half

and walk off a winner. Pitching will highlight the series all weekend with Michigan State implementing the best arms in the conference and showcasing a 2.43 ERA, while the Hoosiers are second best in the Big Ten with a 2.70 ERA. Junior starting pitcher Cam Vieaux will square off against IU’s Hart in a premier matchup Friday afternoon. Vieaux has been the rock for the Spartans’ pitching staff this year by owning a 1.18 ERA over 61 innings pitched while allowing just five extra base hits this season. The former 19th-round draft pick is going up against one of the best Hoosiers of all time, who is coming off a complete-game performance against Iowa last weekend. “Just one game at a time,” senior shortstop Brian Wilhite said. “I know we’re facing a really good left-hander Friday night. We just have to be happy about how we’re playing right now.” The pitching as a whole for the Hoosiers has been lightsout, as the club has won nine of its last 10 games. Over that stretch, the bullpen has been solid, supporting the starting rotation with a collective 2.21 ERA. Justifying those numbers Wednesday at Xavier, the Hoosier relievers tossed five shutout innings and allowed just one hit in the process. IU Coach Chris Lemonis said it was exciting to see the pitchers dominate out of the bullpen because he knows they’ll be a crucial part for this weekend if the Hoosiers want to have continued success. “We’re going up against the number-one team in the Big Ten,” junior outfielder Craig Dedelow said. “To win the series at least would really help us and get us on top of the Big Ten like we want to be.”

ILLUSTRATION BY MERCER T. SUPPIGER | IDS
EDITORIAL BOARD
Beneath your online skin WE SAY: Speak out against online threats Journalists are supposed to have thick skin. Right? As advocates of the written word, we have the right to write anything we damn well please. And most of the time we do. But the tricky thing about opinions is that people tend to disagree. Combine this with the omnipresent power of anonymity on the Internet, and there arises a serious and hotly debated issue: online harassment. The Editorial Board fullheartedly agrees it happens to everyone, but it should be made known that for women and people of color, the criticism is often more heavy-handed. “That’s because of the issues they talk about,” you may say. If these topics are touchy, it’s all the more reason to be sensitive when responding in the comments section. When we talk about the radical differences in humanity, why does it immediately turn into vicious ar-
guments stacked up against a particular enemy or set of ideals? Just look at Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She is forced to deal with daily death threats and attempts on her life because she speaks out against extremism. The idea of free speech, often the very reason that brash Internet commentators give for writing their uncensored opinions, should not be a catalyst for lifethreatening offenses. Internet trolls are not allknowing pundits, but many act as if they are, which closes the gap between an otherwise intellectual conversation between author and dissenter. Advocates for marginalized communities are targeted. Combine this with millennial technology and an inadequate regulation system, and there’s a real dilemma. “Being on social media has become, for better or worse, part of being a writer
online. And the things you publish for one site have a ripple effect across all of your various social media profiles.It’s a workplace harassment issue that doesn’t stop at the workplace,” the Guardian’s Jessica Valenti wrote. This is where the true problem lies. Internet forums and comments sections aside, free speech shouldn’t go so far as to actively locate and target an author’s personal life via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or YouTube. It’s a violation of a person’s humanity. Though one could argue that many venerate and follow the social media accounts of the people they idolize, this should not correlate with those they hate as well. Rape and death threats are tough pills to swallow. Everyone in his or her right mind agrees that this is a bad problem and that this kind of rhetoric has to stop. But for so many people advocating against these
deeply problematic and violent extortions, there’s not much real action being taken because rape and death threats are often deemed empty. People throw up their hands in despair, proclaiming that we have hit a deadend in terms of rectifying the situation. What we fail to recognize is that there are no dead ends when it comes to decreasing Internet bullying. Many times, it’s a maze of empty threats, but all of that stuff floating out there on the Internet is directed toward someone, and that someone, whether they choose to believe it or not, is affected by those comments. It’s time to stop abusing the power of speech when observing others’ opinions. Threats, combined with rude and crass personal bombardment, aren’t going to get us anywhere. It starts with respect. After all, the world is one big machine of ideas where everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
QUEER ART VIBES
Nonbinary artists and capitalist intentions Very few nonbinary artists have risen to prominence in popular consciousness. When doing research for a previous article, I was hard pressed to find any nonbinary filmmakers. Not because there aren’t any, but because there are few and they are not very well known. There are, however, a few nonbinary poets and musicians who have achieved relative amounts of recognition. DarkMatter is a duo comprised of Alok Vaid-Menon (they/them) and Janani Balasubramanian (they/them). They came to IU last spring and gave a performance of poetry and essays on the trauma that whiteness inflicts, racism in queer communities, the prison industrial complex and other structural issues. Their book “It Gets Bitter” is an e-book available on their website. PWR BTTM is the moniker Liv Bruce (they/them) and Ben Hopkins (he/ him) use for their queer punk band. PWR BTTM also toured through Bloomington last fall with Mitski and Palehound. I was able to conduct an interview with them at the
time and we discussed what “normal” is and the process of unearthing one’s self. The interview ended with the idea that you have to have a personal revolution and know your story matters. At their concert the next day, I was too shy to say hello. Perhaps being confronted with nonbinariness before I was ready to come out as nonbinary was too intimidating. Grace Dunham (they/ she) is a writer and activist closely linked to trans activist Reina Gossett (she/her). She is also Lena Dunham’s sibling. Grace Dunham is deeply involved with prison abolitionist work, art reviews for the New York Times, poetry and other forms of activism. Dunham tweeted last month a list of self-published autobiographies by trans people, revealing the oftentroubling gatekeeping that happens with people who don’t conform to gender expectations. Representation does not equal equity or equality, but the act of publishing a book is often an economic act as well as a representational one. However, self-publishing and self-distributing bypass
capitalism and silencing editors. This is a big part of what most of these nonbinary artists end up doing. Dunham recently selfpublished a chapbook on the Internet called “The Fool.” The book has no official publisher and features a very simple neon green background. The book is mostly composed of poems with earnest pleas against gendered oppression. Through the self-publishing model, Dunham is able to express issues of value, fame and prison without facing censorship or being silenced. There are some filmmakers and films about gendernoncomforming folks. A film about queer activist of color Marsha Johnson is in its final editing stage. “Happy Birthday, Marsha!” is a collaborative work by Reina Gossett and Sasha Wortzel (she/her). Additionally, two films by Eric A. Stanley (they/ them) and Chris Vargas (he/ him), “Criminal Queers” and “Homotopia,” were created on shoestring budgets and were loosely disseminated into circulation and

screenings in academic contexts. “Criminal Queers” reflects on queerness and the prison industrial complex, while “Homotopia” reflects on homonormativity in the age of gay marriage. Many films made by gender-noncomforming folks are made on small budgets and circulated in specific circles. This can, of course, feel restrictive, but it also means the films get to be made with at least some freedom that comes with bigger budgets. Additionally, even in gender-nonconforming communities, white people are often privileged. Bands like PWR BTTM or writers like Grace Dunham have more social capital in this element of privilege than DarkMatter or Reina Gossett. It’s easy to ask for better representation or more mainstream acceptance, but in reality what’s needed is more access to resources and political equity. jkrathwo@indiana.edu @lordjoshuabyron

Gene editing is the hottest new technique in biotechnology. Even though biologists have been editing the genes of organisms for the past two decades, a hot new development has revolutionized the way it is accomplished. This breakthrough is known as “clustered, regularly interspaced, short, palindromic repeats,” or CRISPR for short. Unlike older methods of editing genes, which could cost thousands of dollars, biologists are able to edit the genes of nearly any organism for about $30 using CRISPR. CRISPR was originally a mechanism that bacteria used to defend themselves from their enemies. It uses an RNA molecule as a guide to target specific DNA sequences for alteration. In nature, CRISPRs target the DNA of viruses and render them harmless to the bacteria they would normally infect, but biologists can alter the RNA guide so that it targets any DNA sequence. It’s been proposed as a way to eliminate genetic disease from animals and even humans, although the possibility of editing the genes of human embryos is still far off. More urgently, scientists are considering using CRISPR to edit the genomes of wild organisms. This could potentially eliminate disease-carrying pests like ticks and mosquitos, help counter invasive species and eliminate pesticide-resistant weeds. Some also think CRISPR could be used to introduce genetic variation into the dwindling populations of endangered species and help prevent or postpone their extinction. All of these are just possible applications for the future. However, CRISPR is being used to produce brand new crops — most notably a mushroom that is resistant to browning. Scientists used CRISPR to deactivate an enzyme in the

mushroom known as polyphenol oxidase, the activity of which makes mushrooms turn brown. This mushroom is causing quite a stir, and not because it is a major advancement for science. The United States Department of Agriculture recently decided that this mushroom does not qualify as a genetically modified organism and is therefore exempt from the regulations that usually control GMO crops. While the mushroom is the first to be produced using the CRISPR method, it is one of about 30 GMOs to have sidestepped regulations. Traditional GMOs are produced by inserting genes from other organisms — usually bacteria or other plants — into crop plants. Gene-edited crops do not qualify as GMOs because they do not contain any foreign DNA. They have merely had their natural genes slightly altered. The research community cannot contain its excitement over this decision. Passing federal regulations on GMOs makes the production and sale of the GMOs prohibitively costly. Now scientists can produce and distribute custom-made crops quickly and cheaply. This means that the GMO market can be released from the control of a few large corporations and be left in the hands of any biologist with a marketable idea. So far, scientists have already produced browningresistant apples and potatoes, but many other possibilities are on the way. Here at IU, the lab of Roger Innes is looking to use CRISPR to produce disease-resistant barley and soybean, and it is just one of many labs around the world finding new ways to produce healthier foods for the world to eat. jaykgold@indiana.edu @JayKeche

Snapchat under flames for 4/20 filter As cannabis users around the globe lit the flame and celebrated 4/20, Snapchat came under fire as well. Many are calling the Bob Marley lens a digitized rendition of blackface. The filter, which immediately turns subjects into the Jamaican singer Bob Marley, is fully equipped with notably darker features, a Rastafarian beanie and dreadlocks. In previous instances these lenses, or filters, haven’t been directly correlated to a race or a notable figure. Typically, they’re harmless overlays of flower crowns, snowflakes and puppy dogs. Therefore, in a way, this was a test drive. And boy, did Snapchat have a bumpy ride. Although Snapchat users can hear Marley’s soulful tunes crooning in the background, many individuals felt that because the filter’s launch coincided with “weed day,” it undercut his successes as a social activist and father. “Bob Marley was a problack messenger, voice for the poor and disadvantaged, a prolific political figure and @Snapchat reduced him to a stoner,” Twitter user Toni Macaroni tweeted. In response to the barrage of outraged Snapchat users complaining on Twitter, Snapchat’s spokesman issued a statement. “The lens we launched today was created in partnership with the Bob Marley Estate and gives people a new way to share their appreciation for Bob Marley and his music. Millions of Snapchatters have enjoyed Bob Marley’s music, and we respect his life and achievements.” In the digital world, there is a fine line between appreciation and mockery. That being said, I assume Snapchat didn’t create this filter with derogatory intentions.

It’s the same thing as having an ill-advised, themed fraternity party. Just take a look at the theme “what would I do without my degree?” Ostensibly, there’s nothing belittling about this. But when college students dressed as homeless individuals show up to a party, that’s when people start wagging their fingers. Quite obviously, the results are just as harmful if the party were to be “homeless”themed to begin with. The same thing can be said for Snapchat’s Bob Marley fiasco. People look at the lens, and it immediately screams blackface, regardless of intentions. As a supergiant in the digital media industry, Snapchat sets an example for many millennials and members of Generation Z. There are 12-year-olds who just downloaded the app yesterday on their brand new iPhone SE, and their first impression of Snapchat is molded by that Bob Marley lens. The idea of blackface is very antiquated and Jim Crow-esque. Although we have strayed from the racist association of painting faces black, the abhorrent connotation can still be drawn from digital instances like this one occurring today. Even though Snapchat had this major faux pas in terms of judgment, the communal response is a reminder of the standards that must be upheld in order to pervade accepted discrimination. jlkarl@indiana.edu @jkarl26

Hornist channels trauma, survival into recital By Maia Rabenold mrabenol@indiana.edu | @maialyra
For her master’s recital, French hornist Kristen Fowler chose a program of pieces that describe her journey through sexual assault survival and recovery. “Words can very easily get misconstrued, and you can pick apart someone’s speech for days, but you can’t pick apart someone’s soul,” Fowler said. “That’s where music comes from. That’s where the power lies. It permeates those boundaries we put up. It unites people.” In March 2015, Fowler was driving home from a rehearsal when an NPR story mentioned childhood sexual assault. In that moment, all of the memories that she had repressed from her traumatic experience at 13 came flooding back. She had been struggling with anxiety and depression and had been in counseling for years, but she never understood why she was the way she was. When she finally realized what her subconscious had been struggling with for 11 years, she decided to use her experience as a tool to help others. Fowler picked four pieces for the program composed entirely by women that expressed her emotions during her journey. Because her recital date is in April, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Fowler said her feelings that she had to tell her story were cemented. The first piece of
Saturday’s performance is “Glass Echoes” by Tonia Ko for solo horn. Fowler said its mysterious and lonely mood tells the story of her childhood, with the repression of turbulent emotions just underneath the surface. Her accompanying pianist, Daniel Inamorato dos Santos, will join her on the second piece, “Pour le Cor” by Odette Gartenlaub, which embodies her moment of realization and the waves of released emotion that followed. The third piece, “Songs of the Wolf” by Andrea Clearfield, depicts her flashbacks and the predatory nature of the wolf, then an empowering moment of finding her instinctual womanhood. “It parallels how I learned that I can occupy space and not feel bad about it,” Fowler said. “I realized that I deserve to exist, to say what’s on my mind, to seek happiness and that I deserve this life that I have. I deserve to live it.” The final piece is the “Sonata for Horn and Piano” by Margaret Brouwer. The first movement was inspired by grief and emotional turmoil, ending with bittersweet acceptance. Fowler said the first movement signifies how she came to a place of inner peace. The second is about how to go on after accepting tragedy or trauma. It ends triumphantly, which is a perfect end for the recital, Fowler said. “I was angry for a long time about my experience,
“TRAUMA AND TRIUMPH” Free 2 p.m. Saturday, Auer Hall once I realized it, and I hated the whole world,” Fowler said. “I wondered how we could live in such a terrible place because, when you go through something like that, you see some of the worst parts of humanity. But the recovery process has shown me how good people can be. Having seen both sides of the spectrum, I’m choosing to align myself with the good.” Fowler said she was inspired by Jeff Nelsen, her professor at the Jacobs School of Music, to tell stories through music. Storytelling using music is one of the elements of Nelsen’s strategy called “fearless performance,” he said. “It’s about evolving the music that you play into something that is yours instead of just regurgitating the music and playing the notes on the page,” Nelsen said. “You have to put a story to the music and make it mean something to you so that you can give that to the audience.” Fowler’s story is as powerful as it is because it is deeply personal, Nelsen said. He said he is proud of her for being so fearless and transforming a personal ordeal into an inspiration for the audience. “It’s dangerous to define ourselves by tragic events,” Nelsen said. “She’s doing the opposite. She’s

celebrating awareness and moving through it, her pain but her growth as well.

Her first performance was April 10 at Virginia Tech, her alma mater. She said the reaction there was amazing.

couple’s cohesiveness came as an afterthought while running out the door. But from years of experience, it didn’t look like they needed any more preparation. Depending on the event, William and Kate needed to convey different messages, and their image adjusted accordingly. At times William had to stand out to make a point, and Kate would dutifully draw back. At an event celebrating the United Kingdom’s friendship with Bhutan, William was sleek and dashing in a navy suit and powder blue dress shirt. His classic styling was worthy of a Kennedy pedigree, and this issued an importantly conservative statement. But on his arm was the ultimate statement piece — Kate wearing a vibrant ruby dress. She was strong, powerful and rightfully confident, all to accent his steady nature. At times it was Kate’s turn to make a stand. She
did so in a jeweled Jenny Packham gown that draped around the shoulders and gathered at the waist. Although she never sported a sari, this was Kate’s embracing traditional Indian style with a similar silhouette and beading. At the same event, William’s style was more Western in a simple tuxedo. He was reserved to highlight her progression, all while creating a cohesive pair. With the amount of publicity focused on this tour, it’s obvious how much the U.K. values its relationships with other areas of the world. The finances, resources and personnel required to transport the royal family across India and Bhutan came at a high price, and not one that was paid absent-mindedly. Consequently, if this tour sought to establish strong relationships, its numberone priority was showcasing the strongest bond between the two royals on the frontlines.
On the morning of last year’s CollinsFest, genrehopping band Double Standard was preparing to perform its only two gigs of the year, guitarist Ari Williams said. This year, Double Standard’s CollinsFest set will be their eighth show in the last month. CollinsFest will take place all day Saturday in the courtyard of the Collins Living-Learning Center and will feature live music, a bounce house and free food for vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike. “I think we’ve come just so far,” Williams said. “I’m so proud.” Aside from Double Standard, Exalted, Whale Bones, Boogie Goose and KP and Me are also slated to play on the raised veranda in the courtyard. This will be the second consecutive year playing at CollinsFest for Double Standard, Exalted and Whale Bones. Nick Pinder, who plays guitar in Whale Bones, said his band always enjoys the event, even though performing outdoors on a stage can feel a little different for a DIY band like his that’s used to playing more intimate venues like house shows. “The highest elevated stage we’ll play is, like, not
even a foot off the ground,” he said. Williams said sonic quality can suffer a bit when performing outdoors, so Double Standard prepares its song list accordingly. “We’ve got some that are more like dance-oriented and poppy, and then we’ve got some others that are less and more funky, and so we kind of fit our set towards the venue and the show,” he said. The sheer amount of attractions at CollinsFest also make it different from a typical show. Event organizer Austin Van Scoik said there will even be a dunk tank, which will serve as a fundraiser for Middle Way House. “Collins, in general, likes to help out where it can,” he said. This year, Van Scoik said the festival received donated cups from Pizza X, Aver’s and Mr. Delivery. Festivalgoers can refill the cups with water in order to avoid generating loads of waste. “I’ve been trying to partner with as many different organizations as I can to improve kind of the interconnectivity of things, and sustainability’s one of our linchpins,” he said. Because of the variety of options, he said people often don’t focus on the bands alone. “They’ll bring out blankets and just kind of hang out,” he said. “People do

that anyway at Collins — like, they’ll just come out as a group and either work on stuff or just talk — so this is kind of that with music and free food.” Double Standard’s drummer, Michael Wimer, said the band appreciates the opportunity to introduce an audience to a genre they might not be familiar with. “No matter what audience we play in front of, we want to push their boundaries,” he said. Still, CollinsFest’s most popular attraction is likely to be the free food, Van Scoik said. For Pinder, that’s one thing he’s most looking forward to, he said. “I always make sure to cop a burger,” he said.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — or, as their friends call them, William and Kate — have successfully completed the couple’s vacation of the century: a week-long royal tour through the mausoleums, garden parties and safari rides in India and Bhutan. The pair’s ventures were ravenously documented as the world opened each morning’s paper to see Kate feeding a baby elephant or William trying his hand in a cricket match. But just as interesting as their itinerary were their suitcases full of crisp blazers, dazzling evening gowns, Bollywood scarves and Bhutanese skirts. While there was obvious care put into appearing culturally respectful and at times even celebratory, the most peculiar aspect of the couple’s wardrobe was how well the duo dressed as a pair — the makings of a true power couple. On the first day, Kate wore a blue and white printed shift dress with her token nude heels. Right by her side was William, dressed in a matching sports coat and khakis. It was a plausibly simple style choice, but when they sat in front of the Taj Mahal, they posed as a single unit of royal blues and quintessential British image. Two individuals became one pairing and created what could be the most regal Christmas card. As the two flitted from political galas to archery exhibits, their united image persevered but in different forms. The first day they were to be seen as royals, but the next they needed to be athletic, later intellectual, another time charitydriven or sometimes simply modest. With each new look, no matter how different from the previous one, the duke was always styled in partnership with the duchess, or she was always dressed in tandem with him. Normally, style-matching on vacation means you’re the family who wears the same tie-dye T-shirts to Disney World. Naturally, a royal is more understated, almost as if the
resources and information about where to go for help and counseling. There will also be information for others who want to get involved about where to go to provide help. Middle Way House and the Feminist Student Association will be present, and materials from IU Health Center’s Counseling and Psychological Services and Sexual Assault Crisis Services will be provided. She said she wants to continue activism through music in the future. “I want survivors to know that there are good people in this world, and that they are not alone,” Fowler said.

the live stream of the performance on Facebook. “Hearing other people come forward and tell me their stories drove home for me how powerful each of our stories are,” Fowler said. “We all have stories; we all have struggles; we all have things that happen in our lives that motivate us, inspire us or have traumatized us in some way. I think that sharing those stories and receiving them with an open heart is the key to empathy. That’s what we need more of.” Fowler said she hopes people will leave with a more open heart. She will be providing survivors with

MEN’S TENNIS
IU prepares for final regular season matches By Lionel Lim lalimwei@indiana.edu
IU will play Wisconsin on Friday and Minnesota on Sunday in Bloomington to close out its regular Big Ten season. The Hoosiers will enter this weekend’s matches on the back of a run of four victories, which started with a 4-0 victory against No. 39 Penn State. IU’s first opponent will be coming to Bloomington after a three-game losing run,
and the Badgers are tied with the Hoosiers at sixth in the Big Ten. “That wasn’t too long ago that we had a streak going with a few losses,” IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman said. “We know how hungry they are to get back on the winning side, and they’ve had a lot of success this year. They just got to find that, and we don’t want us to be the ones that they find it on.” Friday’s match against Wisconsin will also be the first time an IU match will be
streamed live on BTN2GO. “It’s great for the program and these seniors to be able to play in front of the cameras,” Wurtzman said. “It shows that the support we have here at IU tennis is very high, and that is important.” Minnesota will face Purdue on Friday before coming to Bloomington. The Hoosiers lost last year’s match in Minneapolis 4-0, but the Gophers are 10th and have a 1-8 record in the Big Ten. This weekend’s games will also be the last home games
for seniors, and Wurtzman said he wants his seniors to take it as another match and not be overwhelmed by emotions. Wurtzman also said although he has not spent much time with the seniors, having only come to Bloomington last year, he appreciates their contributions to the program. “Since I got here last January, they’ve always been willing and bought into what we are trying to build here,” Wurtzman said. “I feel like we’ve worked well together,
and it’s sad to see them go.” Wurtzman also said Monette and Bednarczyk will leave the program knowing they have created history when they won the doubles at the Ohio Valley Regionals for the first time in IU’s history. Monette said he wants his last two home games to end on a positive note, especially since his family will be traveling from Canada, and he intends to make the most of his last two home games to create the best memories
possible. Bednarczyk’s parents will also be in attendance this weekend. He said it is a bittersweet moment, considering Sunday could potentially be the last college tennis match that his family would get to see him play. “You’re excited to play because it’s the last time you’re competing on these courts, but then again it’s the last time,” Bednarczyk said. “I will always want to stay and compete, so it’s bittersweet, it’s tough.”
SOFTBALL
Hoosiers continue stretch of road games at Rutgers By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @Jake_the_Thomer
The Hoosiers travel to New Jersey to take on the Scarlet Knights this weekend for their second straight Big Ten series on the road. IU (24-19, 6-8 in the Big Ten) is riding its first twogame winning streak in nearly a month, while Rutgers (20-26, 4-10) enters the series following a midweek sweep against Maryland in a doubleheader. Wednesday saw the Hoosiers pull off a 7-1 win against Ball State thanks to a strong performance from sophomore pitcher Emily Kirk. She has started and earned the victory in each of IU’s last three wins. “We’re all just feeding off of each other right now,” Kirk said. “My strength is keeping the ball down and getting them to swing, so I’m going to continue to rely on my defense.” Kirk’s recent performances have set her ERA at a season-low 3.31. IU ranks fifth in the Big Ten with a 3.44 ERA. Freshmen pitchers Josie Wood and Tara Trainer round out the rotation, but both have
dealt with some freshman struggles recently. IU Coach Michelle Gardner said she is proud of the way Kirk has pitched coming off of an ACL tear that cut her freshman season short last year. Kirk said this year feels like a freshman year for her, so she’s building confidence every time she steps in the circle. The Hoosiers went through an offensive dry spell last weekend, but the return from injury of senior catcher Kelsey Dotson could be the spark IU is looking for. The seven runs scored against Ball State were the most in the team’s past five games. Gardner said she has liked the contributions that the top and bottom of the lineup have given, but she added that she wants to see more consistent production and more production from the middle of the lineup. “I’ve needed some of them to step up lately, and we’ve gotten some of it,” Gardner said. “So now it’s just about carrying that momentum into Rutgers.” Rutgers currently maintains the second-worst team ERA in the league, with a combined 4.81 ERA. Three pitchers have made at least
WENSI WANG | IDS
Sophomore pitcher Emily Kirk throws a pitch during Wednesday’s game against the Ball State University at Andy Mohr Field. Kirk has been a consistent presence in the starting circle recently and has a season-low ERA of 3.31.
11 starts each for the Scarlet Knights, with none holding an ERA below 4.47. Offensively, Rutgers looks very similar to IU, as both have just two hitters with batting averages above .300. Senior
infielder Stephanie Huang leads the team with a .374 average and a .462 on-base percentage. As a team, the Scarlet Knights are batting .260 this season, while the Hoosiers are batting .261.
Friday’s series opener begins at 3 p.m., Saturday’s game starts at 1 p.m., and Sunday’s finale is at noon. With just three series left in the regular season, Gardner said every win is crucial moving forward.
“We’re in an important three-week stretch before the Big Ten Tournament right now, so we definitely need to have a good next three weeks before the Tournament starts,” Gardner said.
