Identity focus of IU topic panel

By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu | @emanmozaffar

ANDREW WILLIAMS | IDS

When the Latino Studies Program moved to Ballantine Hall, associate professor Sylvia Martínez said they found derogatory messages scrawled in the halls.

Martínez said anonymous voices expressed their concerns about the program’s professors and members. The notes claimed the Latino members of the population would not keep the bathrooms and halls sanitary.

“How do we make sure that my faculty and my staff feel welcome?”

Martínez said. “How do we make this a great place, a more inclusive place?”

Martínez was one of five members of the second Hot Topics discussion panel, organized by the Provost’s office. Panelists discussed immigration, identity and inclusion of multiple minority groups on a University and national level.

“What characterizes a hot topic is a topic that throws off a lot of heat,” IU Provost Lauren Robel said. “Our goal is to throw a little bit of light onto that heat and do it in the way that universities do it best.”

Associate Professor of Sociology Dina Okamoto said the recent rhetoric surrounding the immigrant population, especially from current presidential election candidates, has been toxic and not backed by factual evidence.

Okamoto said sociological research has shown immigrants are integrating into American society at a similar pace as European immigrants did at the turn of the century.

Immigrants are also not a threat to job security, Okamoto said. She said foreign-born United States residents are primarily competing with overseas workers, whose jobs were outsourced by American corporations to meet demand for high skills.

“Immigrants are coming to the U.S. to live here, to work here, to

James Sallee speaks on Indiana’s low standing in income rankings on Wednesday afternoon on Kirkwood Avenue. Sallee, who now lives in a tent, said he believes the government’s neglecting of local issues will lead to a crash worse than the Great Depression.

MONEY WOES Recently released data shows Indiana income growth lags

James Sallee sits at the corner of Kirkwood Avenue and Dunn Street every day playing guitar, asking for money from passerbys. Sallee lost his job a few years ago when he became disabled, which is when he began playing music in the streets for money.

Sallee said he barely earns a living.

He now lives in a tent on the east side of Bloomington and takes a bus to come play music on Kirkwood every day.

Sallee’s story is reflective of data recently released by the United States Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis, which found Indiana personal income remains 38th in the U.S. and income growth of 4 percent trails behind the national average of 4.4 percent.

“We need better government,” Sallee said. “They need to stop spending so much money overseas and sending all of our jobs over there.”

Fred Rose, manager at Bicycle Garage Inc., said as a business manager growth is good because it increases business.

“When people have more money, they spend more money,” Rose said.

Seeing any growth is good, Rose said.

However, seeing Indiana behind does not bode well for the future.

Sallee said he thinks if the government does not fix the economic problems, the country is going to have a crash worse than the Great Depression.

“I don’t vote because to me they’re all a bunch of crooks,” Sallee said. “I’ve thought

that for years.”

Stephanie Foreman, manager at Pitaya, said she and her employees frequently discuss politics.

For the Pitaya employees, income is a major political issue, Foreman said.

“I want all my girls to make more,” Foreman said. “They expect you to live on $7.25 an hour. Is this a joke?”

Though Pitaya frequently gives raises, the government needs to raise the minimum wage and increase economic growth, Foreman said. Indiana’s base

minimum wage is barebones.

People are making ends meet, but a parent shouldn’t have to worry about the cost of buying their kid small, inconsequential items, Foreman said.

Dylan Swift, manager and bartender at Nick’s English Hut, said he believes the lagging growth is not as big of a deal in Indiana as it is for other states.

Although her tenure as director of IU Latino Studies began in January 2015, Sylvia Martinez said she began planning the film festival months prior to officially starting.

After more than a year and a half of planning, organizing and fundraising, Martinez and her staff are presenting “Intersectionality: IU Latina Film Festival and Conference” this weekend, April 7-9, at the IU Cinema.

The three-day film festival is back for the third time. It returns every other year due to how long it takes to plan, Martinez said.

“It was an ambitious program from the start,” she said. “It was a huge success, so we decided we should do this every other year.”

The festival started in 2012. At the time, IU Latino Studies director John Nieto-Phillips started the festival as a way to complement academics with cultural representations, Martinez said.

From IDS reports

Each year, the film festival has a theme. As one of her first tasks as director, she wanted to focus on women, she said. As a result, the festival is host to 11 films and three panels, all related to or made by Latinas.

“We just want to give a more nuanced representation of Latinas,” she said. “I think we tend to hold very stereotypical notions of what Latinas are about. So we’re trying to present the whole spectrum here.”

The three panels throughout the weekend feature different topics, including “Shorts & Conversations with Directors,” “The Latina Experience in Hollywood” and “Victimization and Violence.”

The festival also welcomes seven Latina filmmakers and scholars to discuss their films and Latina representation in the media, Martinez said.

The Hoosiers traveled to Cincinnati on Wednesday seeking to avenge its shutout loss against the Bearcats at home a week ago.

IU took the initiative on offense early and split labor between five pitchers to defeat Cincinnati 7-3 to improve to 14-13 this season. The Hoosiers were able to score runs in unorthodox ways at the plate, taking advantage of three Bearcat errors and eight walks.

The first three batters of the game reached base, leading to freshman catcher Ryan Fineman driving in sophomore outfielder Laren Eustace on a fielder’s choice for the first run of the game.

Freshman designated hitter Luke Miller roped a two-out double down the left field line scoring two runners to give IU a 3-1 advantage in the third inning.

Freshman pitcher Jonathan Stiever started his second career game and worked three innings allowing just one run from a RBI drag bunt to fulfill IU Coach Chris Lemonis’ expectations.

IUSA tickets campaign throughout campus

By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich

When RISE for IUSA President Naomi Kellogg approaches each door, she knocks and takes a few steps back. Waiting for the door to open, Kellogg stays warm by dancing, often adding in a “whip” right before someone answers.

The door opens.

“I’m Naomi Kellogg — like the cereal,” Kellogg says.

“I know it sounds corny, but I’m running for student body president.”

Kellogg hands each student a flyer, describes what the IU Student Association does and explains why they should vote for RISE. Members of RISE for IUSA ventured into Stadium Crossing at about 8:30 p.m.

Tuesday night — the night before elections.

“You’re going to get an email tomorrow morning telling you how to vote,” Kel-

logg says. “All signs say delete it, but don’t.”

Kellogg, Vice President of Administration Chesley Swann, campaign manager Libby Gress and congress member Michael McHugh went door-to-door asking students to consider voting for RISE. With elections yesterday and today, the IU Student Association executive tickets campaigned both on- and off-campus to try to gain the most voters.

Going door-to-door the night before elections is helpful when trying to get votes, Kellogg said. It allows the ticket to explain the voting process before they even set foot on campus the day of elections.

“If this RISE flyer is the only one they have when they get the email tomorrow, they’re more likely to vote for us,” Kellogg said.

Waking up Wednesday morning, candidates pulled on their ticket’s T-shirts —

red for Accelerate, white for REAL and green for RISE — and headed to their campaigning locations. Ranging from the Sample Gates to Ballantine Hall to Forest Quadrangle, tickets campaigned in all corners of campus.

All three tickets set up shop at Tenth Street and Fee Lane. As swarms of students crossed from Hodge Hall to the Arboretum entrance, ticket members would hand out everything from cups filled with pens and flyers to Hershey’s kisses and Starbursts.

Jumping up and down, REAL President Sara Zaheer said she was pumped to talk to students about her campaign. With the REAL Spotify playlist playing in the background, Sara and her teammates shouted “Vote for REAL!” to all passing students and cars.

“It’s fun to be out here with all three tickets because it forces us to be really

energetic,” Zaheer said.

To get students’ attention, Co-chief of Staff Olivia Malone held up the REAL Wheel. Students could spin the pink and blue pinwheel to get free REAL products, such as a laptop sticker or a piece of candy.

“We wanted to let loose a little with the REAL Wheel,” REAL member Myles Markey said. “It draws people in and makes it more interactive.”

Accelerate created a Snapchat geofilter so ticket members and students who walk by could share their support via social media.

“The Snapchat campus story has a lot of REAL on it right now,” Accelerate Treasurer Kexin He said. “We want to get some more Accelerate on there.”

With all three tickets in one location, trying to talk to students could get hectic.

However, He said it’s nice to all be together supporting each other.

“We all know how much of a difficult process this is,” He said. “We’re definitely making new friends and exchanging ideas.”

Outside of Ballantine, RISE and Accelerate faced off, standing on opposite sides of the street, trying to get more votes.

Accelerate Congress Member Kristen Knorr campaigned next to Ballantine, and said she hoped to attract more votes by handing out red cups with Accelerate’s logo.

“A lot people don’t even know elections are happening,” Knorr said. “If they have this cup and not anything else, they may vote for us.”

The election commission was also set up throughout campus, including the Indiana Memorial Union and the Arboretum. This gave students a chance to vote in person instead of through email.

No ticket representatives

were allowed near these polling locations so as to not sway voters’ opinions.

“We just want to provide unbiased polling locations,” said Savannah Wormley, the commission’s head of marketing. “The goal is to give people a place to vote that’s not surrounded by tickets.”

As she went door-todoor for nearly two hours Tuesday night, Kellogg said she reminded herself just encouraging people to vote was the most important thing.

After sharing RISE’s goals, Kellogg would tell those who opened their door to just vote for someone.

“Every vote counts,” Kellogg said. “That’s the most important thing to tell yourself.”

Although some ticket members were campaigning all day Wednesday, they’re still planning to wake up Thursday morning and do it all again.

Anahy Mayorga, middle, from the Omega Phi Beta Multi-Cultural Greek Council, talks about the roles of MCGC on Wednesday at Swain West.

Members from various sororities and fraternities under the MCGC gathered and discussed stereotypes of their organizations.

Greek councils discuss stereotypes

By Austin Faulds afaulds@indiana.edu | @a_faulds9615

The past two semesters at IU have had a significant amount of controversy for greek life.

Last semester, Alpha Tau Omega’s charter was revoked and Phi Kappa Psi was placed under suspension. This semester, Sigma Alpha Mu was placed under deferred suspension.

Such events like these can create negative stereotypes toward greek life both in the media and for nongreek members, Pi Lambda Phi brother Thomas Mandel said. He organized an event with his fraternity Wednes-

day night that educated IU students on these stereotypes.

Mandel said the most harmful effects these stereotypes have is the loss of potential members because of the misconceptions presented by the media.

“It prevents people who potentially being great in greek life from joining greek life,” Mandel said.

Education is important because it allows those who are not greek members to be able to understand that greek life encompasses more than just the stereotypes, Mandel said.

He said the media tends

to influence the negative general perception of greek life.

“We tend to focus more on negative attention because it makes better news stories,” Mandel said.

All four greek councils on campus were represented at the event by seven different chapters. The event was moderated by Barry Magee, the assistant director for residential life.

The event began with Magee asking members of the audience their preconceptions of each greek councils for those who are not members of each. Afterward, representatives of

the organizations explained what their organizations are actually about.

Each organization also discussed the stereotypes faced by each organization.

One of them is a lack of inclusion in its membership.

The Multicultural Greek Council is stereotyped as only accepting members who represent the founding ethnicity of their individualized chapters, Omega Phi Beta member Anahy Mayorga said.

However, Mayorga said this is not entirely true.

In Tuesday’s edition of the Indiana Daily Student, a story incorrectly referred to former Bloomington mayor Mark Kruzan. The story should have referenced current Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton.

In Wednesday’s edition of the IDS, a story incorrectly stated an event promoting awareness about human trafficking was put on by the IU Student Association. It was put on by the Indian Student Association.

The IDS regrets these errors.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “We are accepting of everyone, regardless of gender, race, sexuality or background,” Mayorga said.

While known for being a primarily black greek organization, the National Panhellenic Council is accepting of all races, Alpha Kappa Alpha member Gabrielle Hicks said.

The Panhellenic Association is not just basic white girls who are non-inclusive of other members, Kappa Alpha Theta member Maddie Wade said.

Along with this, PHA is also often accused of being made up of only non-intelligent women, Alpha Omicron Pi member McKinsey Cummings said.

“Something I get a lot is that sorority girls aren’t the smartest tools in the shed,” Cummings said. “The sisters in my sorority are some of the smartest women I’ve ever met.”

Another common stereotype is a strong sense of entitlement among greek members, Magee said.

The pride for one’s chapter and organization may be misinterpreted as a strong

sense of entitlement, Iota Phi Theta member Frank Bonner said.

The recruitment process itself may also be a source behind this misconception, Wade said. Those who go through recruitment and don’t receive enough bids to be in a chapter may feel purposefully isolated from the other members of the chapter.

However, Pi Lambda Phi member Daniel Keay said he believes there is some truth behind this stereotype within the Interfraternity Council.

He said he believes the

pride one’s chapter can allow members to take for granted what they have.

By definition, the word stereotype means there is some truth behind them, Magee said.

He and the representatives speaking at the event agreed parties are present within the culture of greek life.

Keay said he believes that the idea that all fraternity brothers are rapists is a negative stereotype.

He said he does admit that a rape culture exists on campus, but this culture isn’t what fraternities are

about.

However, he said IFC has been addressing this through various movements on campus.

“It’s a bad stereotype leading to good improvement on campus,” Keay said.

These truths can lead to positive outcomes on campus, Keay said.

The media shows stereotyped representations of greek life in more than just the news, Pi Lambda Phi member Arpan Kapoor said.

Before he joined a fraternity, Kapoor said all he

knew about greek life came from films like “American Pie” and “Animal House.”

He said he knew those films were exaggerated to a point, but he thought there also may be truth within them.

While there are stereotypes against greek culture nationwide, fraternity member Edwin Flores said there is more to the organizations and chapters than what is generally portrayed.

“I think they’re warranted to a certain degree,” Flores said. “But I definitely don’t think they’re representative of the whole community.”

Mayor announces water treatment changes MK Wildeman marwilde@indiana.edu @mkwildeman

Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton announced a series of changes Wednesday aimed at addressing an upward trend in byproducts found in city water.

In January, Hamilton described the level of disinfectant byproducts, or DBPs, in Bloomington water as “too close for comfort.”

On Wednesday, Hamilton said the levels are still higher than he’d like them to be.

“Our DBP levels remain higher than we want, though they are still in compliance with federal requirements,” Hamilton said during a press conference at the Monroe Water Treatment Plant. “We will aggressively continue analysis of our options and steps to be taken in the longer term.”

DBPs are a result of the interaction between disinfectants, such as chlorine, organic and inorganic matter.

At its last testing March 22, several testing sites in Bloomington narrowly avoided exceeding the allowance for haloacetic acids (HAA5) in city water.

Sites at Profile Parkway, on Bloomington’s west side, the Blucher Poole Wastewater Treatment Plant and Marlin

School all reported levels of HAA5 within 1 part per billion of the limit, which is 60 parts per billion.

Long-term exposure to DBPs is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Rachel Atz, water quality coordinator for the City of Bloomington, said increased DBPs could be a result of more organics in the Lake Monroe reservoir — she said because it is a manmade reservoir, there is more sedimentation as it ages — more customers and weather.

Among the substantive changes in tackling DBPs Hamilton announced Wednesday is the implementation of monthly, rather than quarterly, testing. Hamilton pledged to continue making data public on the “B Clear” portal of the City of Bloomington website as information is collected.

“I will personally closely monitor the progress in the weeks and months ahead,” Hamilton said.

City of Bloomington Utilities, or CBU, also opted to implement two new chlorination points at the Monroe Treatment Plant. The change, which was implemented Monday, moves the point in the process where disinfection of the water begins.

Tim Gholson, the plant’s superintendent, said he is

Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton looks on as Plant Superintendent Tim Gholson explains changes made at the Monroe Water Treatment Plant, meant to combat byproducts in City water, on Wednesday afternoon. City of Bloomington Utilities chose to implement two new chlorination points at the plant as part of a series of changes.

optimistic the change would help in removing organics in the water.

CBU is also planning to put a correctional flushing program in place by June 2016.

As the weather gets warmer, the level of DBPs is expected to increase. Atz said she hopes the changes will mitigate the risk of exceeding acceptable levels.

“We hope that these new

changes that we’ve made to disinfectant feed locations are going to help provide that extra room there,” Atz said.

Hamilton reiterated information will be made available to the public as the City

collects it.

“Some of this depends upon things that are way out of our control,” Hamilton said.

“We’re doing all we can to do the things that are in our control.”

Man arrested for drug charge From IDS reports

Bloomington police arrested a man shortly before 1 a.m. Wednesday after he allegedly pulled out a knife in front of a woman and was found in a car with methamphetamine.

Brian Nickens, 41, faces charges of intimidation, invasion of privacy and dealing or manufacturing of methamphetamine. He is being held at the Monroe County Jail in lieu of $10,500 bail.

Police also arrested two other Bloomington residents who were found in the car with Nickens. Victoria Helms, 27, faces a charge for visiting a common nuisance, and Renee Harris, 25, faces charges for dealing or

manufacturing of methamphetamine, cocaine and “spice” marijuana, as well as theft and maintaining a common nuisance.

Both of them are being held at the Monroe County Jail, Helms in lieu of $1,500 bail and Harris in lieu of $10,500 bail.

Police responded to a call in a parking lot on the 2400 block of South Walnut Street, said BPD Lt. Brad Seifers.

A man and woman were arguing when Nickens allegedly pulled out a knife and waved it in the air. The woman had a protective order against Nickens, Seifers said.

Two employees from a nearby Papa John’s intervened in the argument before Nickens fled the parking lot.

Police found him about two hours later in a vehicle in the parking lot at Motel 6 at 1800 N. Walnut St. Harris and Helms were also in the car with him.

Authorities found a bag on the seat where Harris was sitting, which contained individually-packaged bags of drugs. It consisted of approximately 1.6 grams of methamphetamine and one gram of cocaine, in addition to some “spice” marijuana.

The license plate on Harris’ vehicle was stolen, leading to her preliminary charge of theft.

Police also found methamphetamine on the seat where Nickens was sitting, Seifers said.

The Bloomington Data Collective is looking to put Bloomington back on the technology map.

Chris Waggoner started the group in January to fill a gap he sees between the campus and IU’s professional community, and to bring the attention of the technology world back to town.

In the two-and-a-half months since its first meeting, the Data Collective has been host to speakers on hedge fund grants, corporate copyright infringement, startups and machine learning.

“The ultimate goal — and this is extremely grandiose — is to get people from Chicago, New York, L.A., all the places Bloomington people are always moving to,” Waggoner said. “To get them to look at Bloomington and say, ‘Wow, there’s some stuff going on there.’”

Waggoner, a freelance data scientist with Humility Consulting, said he’d become frustrated at having to work out of town to get paid well.

“I like living in Bloomington,” he said. “I don’t like people moving because of a lack of professional opportunity.”

The talks are uploaded to the Bloomington Data YouTube channel, where Waggoner said hopefully other interested parties will watch and trace the material back to Bloomington. Waggoner said speakers and attendees can participate in the meetings remotely as a way to direct attention from outside Bloomington to the work the Data Collective is doing in the city.

“We’re trying to direct attention onto us,” he said. “Pay attention here.”

Waggoner initially started the group with people he knew personally, then he

started reaching out to potential speakers to draw in a larger crowd from outside his social circle.

“The shorter goal is just to entertain this core of people and bring in more like-minded people who are doing excellent work,” he said.

There’s a five-person core group who shows up consistently on alternating Wednesdays, he said, while speakers usually draw crowds of 25-35.

“The University people aren’t tuned in enough to business stuff for my taste,” he said. “People working around town can also benefit from these kinds of speakers and events.”

The first meeting, on Jan. 27, featured Zachary Dwiel of PlotWatt, a company that analyzes energy usage by appliance and then looks for ways to cut costs.

The Data Collective meets every other Wednesday at the Cowork on South Walnut Street, where Waggoner said he rents space, from 6 to 9 p.m.

He said the meetings are open, although that doesn’t mean every professional demographic will attend.

The speakers specialize in brand-new technologies, programming and apps, with which not everyone will be familiar, he said.

Waggoner, an IU graduate, said although he’s reached out to the University and heard some verbal interest, not many grad students have shown up on Wednesday nights.

Intimidation may be a factor in the low student involvement, he said, as the speakers are “high level” and require a knowledge of their fields and technological specializations beforehand.

Waggoner said he prefers speakers who are competitive and on the cutting edge in their fields, even if they seem less accessible to beginners.

“The people who come are saying, ‘Well, if it goes

over my head, fine,’” he said. “‘I’d rather that than be talked down to.’”

The club is also, ideally, a space for people at high skill levels in similar fields to collaborate and improve each other’s projects.

Waggoner characterized the average Bloomington Data Collective participants as “people who have done work for companies you’ve probably heard of and are on the cutting edge of technology.”

“There’s a lot of talented people in Bloomington who don’t have a reason to come out of the woodwork and meet each other,” he said.

As a draw, though, Waggoner said “big data” is more a keyword to bring people in the door than a focus for him.

Instead of focusing on the undefined fields of “big data,” analytics and machine learning, Waggoner said he’d rather focus on practical uses for those skills.

“I think there’s a fickle demand for big data jobs and machine learning,” he said.

However, he said, those who are interested in big data because they think it’s the next big thing are generally hard-working, quality people who can benefit from the collaborative space.

As an overarching goal, Waggoner said he’d like to bring in people from less technology-heavy fields to see what new ideas could arise.

Over the summer, he’s bringing in speakers from Google and the Roman Institute of Mathematics, as well as Charlie Loyd of MapBox, a geologic mapping company.

He thinks a variety of niche interests could diversify the attendees and lead to more interesting collaborations.

“If you want to create something positive, how are you going to do it other than getting people to talk to each other?” he said.

* * * Laskowski’s career path has certainly

been eventful. After graduating IU, he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls, where he played for two seasons. He was also on the IU television broadcasts before working with the IU Alumni Association.

But it all started at IU. Laskowski was the sixth man for the Hoosiers, meaning he had to adapt to the game quickly after coming in.

“Coach Knight really relied on guys being able to be smart,” his teammate Steve Green said. “Some obviously, just like in real life, understand it quicker and easier than others.”

After his playing career was over, Laskowski continued to adapt.

He started as the color commentator for the television broadcasts, but after the late Chuck Marlowe retired, the broadcast needed a new play-by-play man. So Laskowski stepped up, and former IU basketball player Ted Kitchel was brought on as the new analyst.

“He didn’t have to do that,” Kitchel said. “He did that out of the goodness of his own heart. We worked together for about 13 or 14 years, and I think we had a lot of fun together.”

This was normal behavior for Laskowski, Kitchel said. His boss at the Alumni Association, JT. Forbes, agrees.

Laskowski worked as the Membership Director, but Forbes said his primary job was to solve problems.

But Laskowski’s personability extended past his job. Forbes remembers when he first met Laskowski. At first, Forbes worshipped Laskowski because of his time at IU, but when the two first met, Forbes said Laskowski was normal.

When Laskowski met Forbes’ daughter, he went even further.

“He took all the time in the world with her,” Forbes said. “She felt really lifted up by her interaction with Laskowski because he was really interested in her and what she was doing. Not everybody in the world is like that, he’s a very special human being.”

Laskowski’s personality might be why he’s able to succeed in so many different areas. Forbes said it’s because he cares about people. Kitchel said it’s because he’s such a great guy.

Now, he’s trying something entirely different again with opening a Culver’s, and early on it looks like he’s succeeding.

When he and Scott attended Culver’s ButterBurger University, a crash course in restaurant management, people said they were the best team.

“It’s like John’s 20 again,” Laskowski’s wife, Alice, said. “He’s got a second wind, and he’s been very successful in everything’s he’s ever done, but he’s ready to stay at home a little bit. We’ve got a couple grandchildren, so he wanted to do something in the area.”

But Laskowski needed help. Alice wasn’t going to let him open the restaurant by himself, and she wasn’t going to help him. She had just started working for her friend’s interior design company.

So that meant Laskowski needed one of the kids to help. The two oldest said no, since they both had steady lives and didn’t want to move back to Bloomington to run a fast food restaurant.

Scott, on the other hand, was working at the Monroe County Police Department, and wasn’t getting any closer to his dream of being a U.S. Marshall.

So when Alice sat him down and told him he needed to run this restaurant with his father, Scott listened.

“Once my mom told me that, I knew it was too good to pass up,” Scott said. “I

can’t watch my family build a restaurant and not be a part of it.” * * * Scott’s life hasn’t gone exactly according to plan so far.

As the son of one of the more recognizable players from what might be the greatest era of IU basketball, there were expectations for Scott.

“It was a bit of added pressure growing up,” Scott said. “I was expected to be really good and go to Indiana and follow in my dad’s footsteps, be the next super sub, just like him, and everything like that.”

After playing his freshman year at Bloomington High School North, the Laskowskis moved to Indianapolis and Scott transferred to Carmel High School.

He was a captain his senior year. But then a freshman on the team accused Laskowski and three other seniors of repeatedly hazing him.

The case dragged out, and Scott was kicked off the basketball team, along with the three other seniors, near the end of their senior season.

Eventually, during his freshman year at Aurora University, Scott pled guilty to criminal recklessness in exchange for 40 hours of community service, one year of probation and having his other two charges dropped.

He still played basketball at Aurora, but it was nothing close to what his father had done more than 30 years ago.

“There’s a little bit of pressure growing up like that and expecting to be just like your dad was,” Scott said. “I just wasn’t as good as him, unfortunately, and things didn’t end up working out going to Indiana.” * * * He doesn’t feel any bitterness.

Laskowski said he’s happy for the accomplishments of the 1976 team, the last national champions to finish undefeated.

In the end, it might have been the lone loss to end the 1975 season that helped the Hoosiers not lose in 1976.

“We maybe didn’t have the determination, the will,” Laskowski said. “After we lost in ’75, I remember the locker room.

The guys were just like, ‘We can’t let this happen again. We’re going to make sure we can follow through.’”

He still remembers 1975. He remembers nobody coming close to beating them, except Kansas early in the year. After that, the Hoosiers felt unbeatable.

They swept the Maui Invitational and what could best be described as obliterating the Big Ten. The Hoosiers finished 18-0 without any game coming close.

But eventually it began to wear down the Hoosiers, Laskowski said. Every time they played, it was the biggest game of the year for what he called the Northwesterns of the world.

“It’s easy to get up for one or two or three games, but it’s hard to get up for 18 games in a row knowing that that’s the only game they have to play all year,” Laskowski said.

If these teams were only going to win a few games all year, they wanted one to be against IU. Eventually, one of those teams did win. After losing its leading scorer Scott May in the regular season finale against Purdue, IU had a rematch with Kentucky in the Sweet 16. The Hoosiers lost for the only time all year, ending their SEE CULVER’S, PAGE 6

Young O-lineman trying to replace departed Spriggs the reverse.

But this spring, Knight is the frontrunner at left tackle and is earning praise combined with acknowledgements of his youth and need to learn. Regardless, coaches say he is on the right track.

“I think he’s farther along than, probably, where Feeney and Spriggs was as a young guy,” Wilson said.

Offensive line coach Greg Frey agreed. Spriggs missed his first spring due to injury.

Knight is able to develop in his first offseason.

Wilson praised Knight for being very athletic, as well as tough and coachable.

“He does some really good things,” Frey said. “He does some things that make you miss Jason.”

But Knight currently being the frontrunner doesn’t mean the job is his. Wilson said Tuesday he’d love for somebody to beat Knight just because that means sophomores Tim Gardner or Delroy Baker or freshman DaVondre Love are stepping up and coming along.

Wilson also said he is looking forward to incoming freshman Coy Cronk coming into the program this summer. Cronk is another guy he said reminds him of Spriggs.

But for now, Knight is the man in control of the left tackle spot. The 6-foot-5, 290-pounder has a chance to add to the culture on the offensive line that produced two All-Americans last season in Spriggs and Feeney.

“I think in time, if he stays healthy and continues to develop, he’ll have a good year,” Wilson said. “And he’s on track to have a strong career.”

Outfielder Logan Sowers gets ready for a pitch during the third inning against Butler on March 23.

Sophomore adding offense

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

Sophomore outfielder Logan Sowers has been able to make his presence felt on the diamond no matter where or when he has competed.

The slugger was highly praised coming out of high school, smashing 11 home runs in his senior season while being named Indiana Mr. Baseball. Since his arrival to IU, Sowers has impressed everyone who has watched him play starting with a strong freshman campaign.

“He’s just got great bat presence,” junior relief pitcher Jake Kelzer said. “He doesn’t let the game or the at-bat get too big on him he’s more focused on what he has to do on that pitch, that’s why he’s so good.”

Sowers hit six home runs

» CULVER’S

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 season.

“Although we had lost our best player, we still thought we would beat them,” Laskowski said. “I think we thought each game we were going to win that game.” * * * There was something they couldn’t quite accept. They were opening a Culver’s in Bloomington, but the colors just weren’t working.

“One of the things that stands out is that Culver’s has that darn Kentucky blue col-

while driving in 36 runs last season, landing on the AllBig Ten Freshman team. With high expectations entering his sophomore season, he didn’t disappoint. After the first two games of the season Sowers already had two home runs.

Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, their cleanup hitter was sidelined after just the fifth game of the season with a wrist injury. Initially, IU Coach Chris Lemonis figured his best power threat wouldn’t be sidelined for long and inserted him back into lineup against Seton Hall the following weekend.

Following two strikeouts and a pop out, Lemonis removed Sowers from the game noticing his star sophomore wasn’t fully healthy. It took 11 games but the Hoosiers were finally able to get Sowers

back in the lineup, and at this point, it’s safe to say he’s over his wrist injury.

“I was talking to coach and he said with hand guys it always affects your timing a little bit because you really cant do anything during the time that you’re off,” Sowers said. “The timing probably effected that a little bit, but now I feel ready to go.”

Sowers recorded three hits in his first three games back in the lineup before demolishing two home runs against Indiana State.

Since his return the Sowers has hit .285 with three home runs and six RBIs. “He’s had a couple of really good games, but I think the injury has hurt him a little bit,” Lemonis said. “I told him ‘Man when you hit, we win so I wish you would hit a little bit more,’ but he’s feeling good

and I’m looking forward to him getting on a streak.”

The McCutcheon High School product has been noticed at the national level as well over the course of his amateur career. He was selected in the 31st round of the MLB draft by the San Diego Padres coming out of high school but elected to honor his commitment to IU instead.

Entering this season, Baseball America named Sowers the No. 21 prospect for the 2017 MLB draft. Lemonis credited IU’s early struggles to not having his Sowers in the lineup every day.

“The injury for him was part of our slow start as he’s one of the better physically looking guys in the box in the country,” Lemonis said.

“The presence and the stuff and just having him back has helped out.”

or,” Scott said. “The blue and white. We call it Culver’s blue but you can’t help but notice the resemblance to Kentucky, and that’s not good at all.”

They tried to change the color scheme a little bit, but Culver’s wouldn’t allow it. So when they attended Culver’s ButterBurger University in Wisconsin, they got creative.

If the outside of the building were to remain what Scott calls Kentucky Blue, then they were going to have some fun with the restaurant’s interior.

They went to work, looking through scrapbooks and the sort looking for the right combination. Then they found it.

They would be able to make

the interior wallpaper of the restaurant cream and crimson, all of which will rest behind memorabilia from Laskowski’s playing days at IU. “We’re planning on getting it pre-decorated with Indiana stuff,” Scott said. “We’ve got my dad’s jersey from his playing days, and we’re going to have that in the lobby. We’re going to have his old Bulls jersey and stuff like that.”

Another thing they found out at ButterBurger University is that they are going to be really good at this. When Laskowski was at IU, he majored in Finance Management at the Kelley School of Business.

So with Laskowski run-

ning the business side and being the face of the restaurant, Scott can run the kitchen and the day-to-day operations.

Both of them also played collegiate basketball, meaning their competitiveness is off the charts, Alice said. They view making this Culver’s successful as a challenge, a game of some sort.

Alice said she can picture a couple buses pulling up and Scott turning the kitchen into a competition. He’d challenge the kitchen to make the best 100 burgers in 10 minutes to feed everyone on the bus.

That’s just who Scott is.

“Everybody said we had the perfect combination,

Brandon Knight reminded everyone of Jason Spriggs.

Simon Stepaniak reminded everyone of Dan Feeney.

Feeney, a senior guard, is back for one more season in Bloomington. Spriggs, on the other hand, is off to the NFL Draft and is a potential first round pick.

That means the left tackle spot is open this spring, and Spriggs’ comparison could be his replacement.

“I think Brandon Knight will be our left tackle, but I honestly think he’s athletic enough that if we need some big boy sets that we can move him,” IU Coach Kevin Wilson said.

In moving him, Wilson means Knight can go back to tight end. Last season, Knight spent time at tight end due to injuries at the position and the consistent health of Spriggs.

He was considered athletic enough to give IU another skilled blocker on the outside.

But blocking was not all he did. In the fourth quarter of IU’s final regular season against Purdue, Knight was lined up as one of two tight ends on the left and went upfield. Quarterback Nate Sudfeld rolled out left and quickly found Knight wide open in the corner for his first career touchdown.

That was another example of comparisons between Spriggs and Knight.

Spriggs played tight end in high school and switched to tackle in college. Knight did

because Scott doesn’t want to sit in front of a computer all day and do the scheduling and the ordering and all that stuff, and John doesn’t really want to sit in the back with a view of the kitchen,” Alice said. “It’s very good for the two of them.”

This Culver’s represents a new opportunity in a lot of ways, and in some ways, a second chance.

Not necessarily for Scott, although it certainly can be interpreted that way. But more for what Scott plans to do.

When he worked at the Monroe County Jail, he was always going over the top.

Always asking what he can do to help and insisting he could do more.

This meant he spent a lot of time at the jail and spent time talking to a few others who spent a lot of time there. Some of those guys Scott talked might find themselves making the burgers Laskowski couldn’t get out of his head decades ago.

“When we first started the Culver’s, he said he knew a couple guys who when they get out of jail he wants to help them get a better life,” Alice said. “He’s looking at it as kind of his place to minister, too.”

EDITORIAL BOARD

Obama shakes unsteady hands with Cuba WE SAY: The U.S. should give this frenemy a chance at trade One handshake can tell it all.

The latest meeting between President Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro began with a bungling of a greeting.

The awkward handshake between the two leaders showed the unease that still exists between the two nations and the shaky ground that this new relationship will rest on.

The last remnant of the Cold War still remains, and the future of Cuba and the United States is uncertain.

Moving forward, the Editorial Board believes the U.S. needs to allow Cuba to have an input on how they want their country to be run.

By doing so, the U.S. would improve relations and open trade routes with one of its closest neighbors. The Cubans would be able to improve their international standing and enjoy the global world that is available to them.

The problems facing U.S.-Cuban relations in the upcoming years are prominent. When the two presidents spoke, problems arose that highlight the tension that was seen in the handshake.

During President Obama’s visit, Cuba imprisoned multiple dissidents and President Castro evaded the questions when he was pressed further.

Obama spoke about opening relations and admitted problems that existed from both sides of the aisle.

His speech was received well by the crowd and the visit seemed to have been successful in the eyes of the Cuban people.

While his speech was promising, U.S.-Cuban relations are, in reality, no better than they were before the trip.

Former Cuban President Fidel Castro, in particular, claimed Cuba did not need the help of the U.S. “empire” and the U.S. should not bother with unnecessary gifts to the nation.

Though the words are damning, the actual weight behind them is not. In a 2010 article in the Atlantic, Castro said “The Cuban Model doesn’t even work for us anymore.”

This was clarified to say the state has too much influence in the country’s economics. Since 2010, the country has allowed small businesses to operate and has opened up real estate contracts to foreign investors.

This means the nation is incorporating more western aspects into its economy, and its doing so at its own pace.

Many politicians like Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush have tweeted that a

MAGGIE, SHE WROTE

STEVE’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

Addressing the state of American politics IU College Republicans watched a speech given by Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on the state of American politics Monday.

In the discussion that followed, there was cause to be discouraged, but it seemed like there was even more room for optimism.

This is a great discussion topic for today’s political landscape. In the current era of uncertainty, it is vital that Americans begin to hold their elected officials accountable for their previous records and vote them out if the constituency feels the official no longer represents them as well as they should.

This isn’t to say there aren’t reasons for Americans to be discouraged when it comes to Washington, D.C. Legitimate reasons are plentiful for Americans to be discouraged about the political scene. To many,

it seems there is no way to hold Washington, D.C., accountable for its actions.

Partisan politics run rampant, and party leadership controls the way your elected officials vote and operate on Capitol Hill.

Unfortunately, these are real qualms Americans all across the country have. On this topic, Ryan said, “But when people distrust politics, they come to distrust institutions. They lose faith in their government, and the future too. We can acknowledge this. But we don’t have to accept it.”

But this election cycle is yet another opportunity to allow Americans to speak their minds and bring new officials to Washington, D.C., if they so desire. The basic principles that make this country great are still in place, with or without Donald Trump claiming they are not.

The right to self-determination, the right to vote and have a say in political proceedings and the right to free speech, assembly, religion, press and petition all remain intact.

Ryan’s speech concluded with a call for civil discourse between both parties as he said, “Politics can be a battle of ideas, not insults. It can be about solutions. It can be about making a difference. It can be about always striving to do better. That’s what it can be and what it should be.”

The Speaker of the House’s approach is certainly refreshing to me. At the end of the day, I think this quote can and should hold true on both sides of the aisle.

Politics should be about improving the lives of Americans, not an arena for politicians to hoard power and make decisions that will neither help nor please their

constituency.

At the end of the day, it comes down to a choice. We, as Americans, can choose to create a political environment where positivity and discourse is encouraged. Or we can continue down the path of corruption, secrecy and lack of accountability currently displayed from Washington.

At the end of the day, this approach certainly dumbs down the magnitude of the problems at play in Washington, and it is idealistic.

However, I think if more lawmakers begin to adopt Speaker Ryan’s approach, discernible movement in the right direction may transpire. staranyi@indiana.edu

While our viewpoints may not be the same, Americans are allowed to travel to these nations and goods are allowed to flow.

This is something that the U.S. does not have with Cuba, and something that would be beneficial to America. Not only would we be exposed to a new culture, but we could also buy Cuban goods.

This holds the same for Cubans as well. Opening the embargo will help both nations, and it’s time to tear down the last wall from the Cold War.

Governor provides positive example Parents have some of the hardest jobs in the world.

The United States government compounds that by giving them the hardest time after they have a new child by giving them one of the shortest-paid leave periods in the world.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, DNew York, recently signed into law a bill that will eventually allow paid new-child or sick relative leave for up to 12 weeks.

It applies to all types of parents, regardless of gender or whether they are adoptive or biological parents.

According to the governor’s website, starting in 2018, parents will be able to receive up to half of their average weekly wages for up to 12 weeks in New York. By 2021, it will be two-thirds of the average weekly wage.

A common retort to arguments for family leave is that such policies are too costly. However, Cuomo’s plan does not cost businesses anything, and instead is paid through nominal pay cuts in an employee’s salary.

The cuts start at 70 cents and increase to $1.40.

This is a huge step for the U.S., and will hopefully lead us out of our abysmal track record with family leave.

For a while, few states in the U.S. had paid leave or they have offered very little paid leave — for sickness,

relatives’ sickness or new children — to its workers.

This served as a major inhibitor for women, as single mothers were forced to stay home without pay, pushing them farther and farther below the poverty line.

Kids are expensive and so is missing work.

Cuomo’s legislation allows these busy parents to stay at home to bond with their new children without having to worry about being able to feed that child.

Bonding within the first few weeks or months of a child’s life can be very important for their later development, and University of California Davis reports that early parental or caregiver connections can lead to a more confident child.

Paid family leave can be vital for a parent’s economic well-being and a child’s overall development.

I encourage all state legislators to take note of Cuomo’s action, and to note that we can take steps toward ensuring the stability of American families without incurring high cost as a country. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff

ing a Q&A following the screening.

“Now en Español” tells the story of five Latina actresses who dub “Desperate Housewives” for Spanishspeaking audiences in the U.S. The film is both a personal story of these actresses and a wider look at Latina representation in the media, Meller said.

“Even in the documentary world, we’re always telling the same stories,” Meller said. “They’re all totally important, but kind of negative portrayals. For me, focusing on actresses was a way to tell a different story that had a little more glamour and a little bit more fun and humor.”

Cristina Ibarra, a Chicana filmmaker, is also coming to Bloomington to present her film “Las Marthas.”

“Las Marthas” follows the annual debutante ball in Laredo, Texas, as two young Mexican-American girls go through the rite of passage filled with expensive dresses and a history of the Southwest.

“On the surface, it looks like this very unique Americanization ritual,” Ibarra said. “But if you really look at the celebration, it becomes apparent that it’s more about celebrating the roots of the town.”

While, working as a Latina in the industry, Ibarra said she has faced challenges proving herself as a filmmaker.

She said her race and gender have both created an added pressure to her career.

“I had to make a strong case for this film,” she said.

“It’s not just a superficial film about dresses.”

Meller said she is happy this film festival is focusing on female directors.

However, she said it’s important to not just focus on female directors in the film industry.

“It’s not only about what we’re seeing on camera, but who’s telling these stories, who’s writing these stories, who’s producing these stories, who’s editing these

stories, who’s shooting them,” she said.”

Even though the festival has just begun, Martinez said she and her team are already thinking about 2018’s festival.

With the films screening this weekend, she said she hopes to reach new audiences in Bloomington and teach them about Latina culture.

“I’m hoping we can sell the story that we need to look and produce more diverse representations of Latinas,” she said. “We don’t all look like Sofía Vergara. I hope to show that women can carry a film festival.”

Swift said though he is liberal, he does not support a national minimum wage increase because it would upset the local Bloomington economy.

If Nick’s had to increase minimum wage drastically, labor and food costs would skyrocket and he could not afford to eat at his own restaurant, Swift said.

Swift said he is hopeful about the future.

The conservative part of him loves local government, Swift said. He said he thinks the Bloomington government is doing a great job with incomes and taxes.

Ideally, minimum wage should be raised a few dollars, Swift said. However, nothing should happen too quickly.

Foreman said ultimately the government needs to ensure people can always make ends meet.

Shahrani said he has spoken to several Muslim women, several of whom wear hijabs, who no longer use campus services out of fear of being discriminated against.

“We have members of the community who have been attacked, as well as people who have stopped going to the recreation center to work out because of the way people look at them,” Shahrani said.

Shahrani said these situations happen across multiple groups at a local level, and the only way to solve the issue is for there to be a unified movement of understanding.

“When you get to know the people that are affect-

ed, it really changes one’s perspectives, and I think that’s really important,” Shahrani said.

Ishan Ashutosh, assistant professor of geography, and Sam Museus, associate professor in the School of Education, also spoke about the realities immigrants face, and how institutional change is necessary to solve the problems within education systems.

After the panel concluded, the audience divided into smaller session groups to discuss the problems and stigmas surrounding immigration and inclusion.

“Movement is a fact of life,” Ashutosh said. “We all move. Our lives, in fact, are more defined by movement than by staying in place.”

Sabol struck out the first batter of the inning but then proceeded to load the bases and allowed the first Bearcat run of the inning after a wild pitch. Cincinnati scored one more run off a sacrifice fly, but Sabol settled down worked a scoreless fifth in the following frame.

IU added two more runs in the sixth for a four run lead.

Freshman pitcher Pauly Milto, junior pitcher Thomas Belcher and junior pitcher Jake Kelzer combined to only allow one hit and not surrender a run from the sixth inning on to secure the victory.

YEARS OF All grown up and still rocking its alternative vibe.

Weekend digs through the IDS archives to reminisce on some of our favorite past Culture Shock moments, all in preparation to welcome the big 3-0 with WIUX’s always-free festival this weekend.

The birth of the original Culture Shock, “an annual outdoor music festival put on by WIUX in early April,” according to their website.

Who is he?

Well, dear reader, this is what we imagine Culture Shock would look like as a 30-yearold.

He’s got a hip man bun, or possibly an equally-hip mullet.

He’s got a slight beer gut, but still rocking that old Joy Division t-shirt.

And with jorts, tube socks and Vans, leaving the twenties has never looked so good.

Or so alternative.

Impossible Shapes, a local band, performed on the Culture Shock stage. Since then, they have shared the stage with Wilco and Interpol.

From the IDS: Event managers from WIUX arrived at Dunn Meadow, the planned location of the festival, at 6 a.m. to find the field flooding and no sign of a break in the storm on the radar.

“We called the rental company and found out they couldn’t set up a tent while it’s raining,” Special Events Director Alex Bulli said. “It seemed kind of silly because we got a tent because it was raining.”

From the IDS: With big-name national headlining acts and tent-covered stages, Culture Shock’s organizers say they are getting “more excited and less nervous” as each day passes. Their event of the year takes over IU DeVault Alumni Center Field behind Alumni Hall for a full day and night of free concerts.

Yes, you read that right. Where does Culture Shock go when Dunn Meadow has more resemblance to Monroe Lake?

This time, it turns out, they went to the Bishop. The 18+ age restriction that was then in place didn’t hurt turnout, and, as always, the show went on.

A departure from Dunn Meadow, Culture Shock was instead located at Alumni Field. Also this year, a performer named Totally Michael was featured and described as “skinny as hell, 6-feet tall and wears booty shorts.” Definitley someone who sounds worthwile to check out, then and now.

From the IDS: Saturday, direct sunlight beamed onto the ground, and combined with the remnants of drifting cigarette smoke.

Four years after their formation, Beach House rocked the Culture Shock scene and kept rocking into more and more fame in the years to follow. Where are they now? You can catch them on Coachella’s 2016 lineup, fulfilling the destiny that began when they took the stage in Bloomington.

From the IDS: The event will take a less-is-more approach this year by featuring fewer but better-known artists and starting later in the day, said WIUX Special Events Director Carrie Sloan.

The Union Board helped by sponsoring Destroyer, the nom de plume of Canadian indie rocker Dan Bejar, this year.

“We decided to work together by each sponsoring a particular artist,” Sloan said, adding that the festival’s new format would give it “a little more bang.”

The combination created a luminous, hazy effect on all that could be seen in Dunn Meadow. This haze settled over the hundred-person crowd. There was not a drop of rain in sight.

This weekend, Culture Shock returns with headliner Neon Indian. Whitney, White Reaper, Hoops, Dasher, Brenda’s Friend, the Underhills, Spissy and Brownies in Cinema are all slated to perform throughout the day Saturday as well.

We can’t yet say what our favorite moment will be, but we can make some educated guesses.

Hoops, stopping in Bloomington during their eastern-United States tour, is definitely one we will be watching out for. And watching Neon Indian (hopefully) perform Polish Girl will make our inner high-school hipster smile and rock out.

Hipsters are now the new hippies

W | COMMENTARY

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

‘Fargo’ celebrates 20 years “Fargo” came out April 5, 1996, after less than a month in limited release.

It was a critical and commercial success that won Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress in a Leading Role. It is still so popular that it recently spawned a critically acclaimed TV show.

“Fargo” starts with the story of Jerry Lundegaard, a nervous car salesman who masterminds the kidnapping of his own wife. He hires two somewhat inept and colorful criminals for the job. The mistakes they make attract the attention of pregnant police chief Marge Gunderson, an expert crime solver.

This movie is a marriage of excellent visuals and great dialogue. The Coen brothers, the film’s directors, frequently use long shots and overhead shots

to emphasize their locations’ snowy beauty. The Coen Brothers also wrote this film, and you can tell they love language. Early in the film two characters riff on the word “lot” in a hilarious way that feels organic to their conversation, not like two writers using characters to show off.

My favorite thing about “Fargo” is its tone.

The Coen Brothers are great at making movies with bleak tones, such as “No Country For Old Men.” They’re also great at making movies with really light tones, such as “Hail, Caesar!”

The tone of “Fargo” shifts from funny to scary to sad every 10 minutes or so. More than anything, its tone is very human.

The characters do not feel like cliches, but rather like people you’d meet.

The sequences involving the

criminals Lundegaard hires, Carl Showalter and Gaear Grimsrud, are a good example of this tone.

They bicker about where to eat, act more realistically than most hitmen in movies and commit memorable acts of violence. The Coen brothers even find several poignant moments that make you pity them.

In a lesser film, they would have had a few funny lines and served mostly to set the plot in motion.

In “Fargo,” they display a wide swath of human emotions.

The warmer sides of this tone are perfectly embodied in the character of Gunderson. She is cheerful and very good at her job. The love she shows for her husband Norm is always heartfelt and sweet.

More than anything, she is nice. She is not fake nice like

Lundegaard, but instead exudes a general warmth and interest in other people. She is someone you’d like to talk to on a cold night at the end of a long day.

Frances McDormand plays Gunderson in one of my favorite performances. I have seen 919 movies in six years, and Gunderson is one of the nicest and most interesting characters in any of the movies I have watched.

McDormand won an Academy Award for her role in “Fargo,” and she definitely deserved it.

“Fargo” still holds up after 20 years. Its visual beauty and mastery of a unique tone make it an American masterpiece. It is the type of movie you can’t wait to see again after you finish watching it.

Jesse Pasternack @jessepasternack

There seems to be a lot of stigma with the word “hipster.”

Honestly, it is probably one of the most mutuallydetested subcultures of today.

Jocks? Sure. Sports are nice.

Theatre kid? Why not?

Goth? You do you, man, but don’t ever, ever, ever try to be a hipster.

I never quite understood the aversion.

I can’t personally identify myself with hipster culture, but that doesn’t mean I choose to scrutinize those who do either. Life’s too short for such a pointless cultural turf war.

I’m not ignorant. I understand the reason behind all of the hostility toward hipsters is their alleged sense of entitlement over other cultures, beliefs and interests, simply because the hipster versions of these are more “unique” and “vintage-y.”

While it is more than understandable why one would avoid people like this, saying jerks like these represent the whole hipster scene is like saying church-burners and sweaty obese men represent goths and Star Wars fans respectively.

Regardless, hipsters are still one of the most alienated and resented groups of people of the past 50 years. Never have so many individuals expressed so much disgust and hatred toward a single culture since the dawn of SEE HIPSTERS, PAGE 13

‘Sing me back home’ Rememebering country music legend Merle Haggard

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Johnny Cash famously performed at San Quentin in 1958.

And that authenticity resonated with listeners.

From 1966 to 1987, 38 of Haggard’s singles hit No. 1 on the Billboard country chart, according to the New York Times. What’s more, 71 of his songs were Top 10 hits, 34 of them in a row from 1967 to 1977.

Since 1963, he’s recorded more than 70 albums, according to Rolling Stone. His 1970s hit “Today I Started Loving You Again” has been covered by more than 400 artists. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and was a Kennedy Center honoree in 2010.

But all those numbers and all those accolades don’t even begin to touch what Haggard’s music meant to me. Say what you will about country music, but my love for Haggard’s work goes much deeper than just a song on the radio.

“Mama Tried,” “Swinging Doors” and “Bottle Let Me Down” sound like summertime. They feel like ice

cream running down your arm and chocolate on your face and smell like sweat and sunscreen and campfire smoke. My dad and his friends used to croon these songs during camping trips when my sister and I were young.

“Silver Wings” feels like loss and resilience. It opens the door to the deepest place of my heart and was the first shining glimmer of hope during some of the hardest days of my life.

“Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man),” “Sing Me Back Home” and “Okie from Muskogee” smell like unfiltered Camel cigarettes and peanut butter cookies and taste like popcorn and Diet Coke.

Songs like this were the soundtrack to my teenaged Friday nights, when I would opt to spend my evenings with my Pappaw, my grandfather, my best friend and closest ally.

“Today I Started Loving You Again” tastes like teardrops and mascara, and feels like the edge of a dog tag digging into your palm and

esterday, I almost cried over an AP alert in the hair care aisle at CVS. Merle Haggard, one of country music’s most successful artists and the voice of country counterculture in the 1960s and 1970s, died Wednesday on his 79th birthday.

Haggard wasn’t just a country singer. He was the country singer.

He was cutting his stuff out of Bakersfield, California, not Nashville.

His sound was rougher, more raw.

He was country’s outlaw, and with his band, the Strangers, spent decades releasing songs that made country music history. His music was authentic, none of this cookie-cutter sameness and “bro country” that defines the Billboard charts today.

When he wrote about turning 21 in prison in “Mama Tried,” he meant it.

He spent his 21st birthday in solitary confinement at San Quentin State Prison, doing time for burglary. He talked openly about his prison time.

He was in the audience when

the feeling your lungs are going to collapse. It was the song playing in the room as my family and I watched Pappaw take his last breaths in March 2014.

There has never been a time when I wasn’t listening to Merle Haggard.

His voice and his music were so strongly woven into the fabric of my life that he’s become a part of who I am.

In an interview last year with Men’s Journal, Haggard was asked what he wanted his legacy to be. His response?

“I don’t know. It’s not over yet.”

As with any other artist who dies, there’s a lot of talk of legacy going on right now. Haggard’s career has already changed the landscape of country music and touched lives around the world and no doubt will continue to do so. That’s the beauty of it.

It’s not over yet.

Sunflower Bean brings youth to rock and roll

By James Freeborn jfreebo@Indiana.edu | @J_Freeborn

For teenagers in New York, rock music is kind of nerdy, Sunflower Bean drummer Jacob Faber said.

“Rock music is pretty out of the public eye,” he said.

“Not only is it unpopular.

It’s like extremely uncool.”

Sunflower Bean is a neopsych rock trio made up of Faber, vocalist and guitarist Nick Kivlen and vocalist and bassist Julia Cumming.

The three released their debut album “Human Ceremony” in February and will perform Thursday at the Bishop.

Faber and Kivlen grew up in Long Island, and Cumming grew up in East Village, where they said most of their peers were listening to electronic music.

“I got shown rock music by my parents,” Kivlen said.

“They bought me a bunch of CDs when I was really young.”

Cumming said all three musicians were introduced to classic rock by their parents, and this style of music is the band’s biggest influence.

It also inspired them to bring a more classic-rock sensible sound to the New York music scene, she said.

“There’s a lot of shoegaze and a lot of noise, and that’s great in its own right, but we kind of wanted to change it up,” she said.

Kivlen and Faber starting jamming together as a garage rock duo before adding Cumming, Kivlen said.

Once she joined and the three practiced together daily, the band refined its sound to its current state, which Kivlen said is exemplified in the track “Bread” on Sunflower Bean’s last EP. “That kind of shows the

direction that we started to head with Julia just a bit,” he said.

Kivlen said he and Faber learned a lot about band dynamics by watching Brooklyn bands Dive and Total Slacker.

“Those two bands are probably the biggest influence on us, I think, and then a thousand classic rock bands obviously,” he said.

Sunflower Bean tries to play as many venues as they can in New York, Faber said.

“We try to play a lot of shows for all ages,” Cumming said. “That’s kind of important to us.”

Part of the reason for this is that none of the band members are 21 years old yet, so they don’t want to exclude their age group from seeing the shows, Cumming said.

Still, she said all-ages venues can be crazy and fun in their own way.

Even though they are still young musicians, Sunflower Bean is touring the country.

“If you think that you have a chance at something, or you think that you might be on to something, you should just go for it with everything you have,” Cumming said. “That’s kind of what we do.”

Gabriel Colman, the curator of The Venue Fine Art & Gifts, introduces the art works on “Art & Soul of Bloomington” Juried Art Show on Wednesday afternoon at The Venue. Art works in “Art & Soul of Bloomington” are made by local and regional artists.

The Venue presents art show Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemacafee24601

“The Art & Soul of Bloomington” is about using Bloomington as an inspiration for art, the Venue Fine Art & Gifts curator Gabriel Colman said.

“People have such a visceral reaction to our community,” Colman said. “We wanted to try and capture what it is about this area that inspires people to want to stay or be involved. What is a better way to express that inspiration than with showing art?”

The Venue’s juried art show includes 25 pieces of art corresponding with the theme of capturing the spirit of the town, he said. “The Art & Soul of Bloomington” opened on April 2, and will run until May 5.

A jury of three judges, including Colman, selected the top two pieces. Visitors have the opportunity to cast

their vote for the People’s Choice Cash Award, which will be announced in May. “We wanted to offer an aspect of it that was interactive with the community, beyond just the three judges that selected the best in show and silver best in show,” he said.

Best in show was awarded to an oil painting called “Sample Gates” by Susie Gregory. The work depicts two major aspects of Bloomington, Colman said.

“Some of the reasoning that was expressed with the award was that in one image you’ve got IU, which clearly has an impact on the community, and the actual embodiment of the main street of Bloomington itself — Kirkwood,” he said. “This piece very much captured a combination of aspects that make Bloomington attractive.”

The jury awarded the silver best in show to John Woodcock for his

photograph “Hudsucker Posse on the Street at Lotus.”

The work portrays a group performing with Hula-Hoops at the Lotus Festival, Colman said. The movement of the Hula-Hoops is captured as swirl-like images in the photograph.

“It’s got an interesting composition, it’s colorful and it’s something you’re only really going to see in Bloomington,” Colman said.

The show consists of more than paintings and photographs. “The Art & Soul of Bloomington” also includes works such as a tapestry and a sculpture.

He wanted the show to have a varied selection, Colman said.

“We didn’t want to have six paintings of the Sample Gates or the Square,” he said.

While some pieces clearly illustrate places in Bloomington, others are more abstract, Colman said.

“If someone wants to submit a picture of the Sample

Gates, that might speak for itself, but people who have submitted more non-representational pieces of work.

We wanted to give them the opportunity to express their inspiration,” he said.

This is the first juried art show the Venue has been presented with this particular theme, Colman said. Past shows have featured artists from Bloomington High School North and Bloomington High School South.

“The Art & Soul of Bloomington” is a way to showcase the many positive parts about Bloomington, Colman said. He does not want to take the town for granted, he said.

“I want to encourage people to look at it as inspirational and at least attempt to grasp the concepts of what makes our community as dynamic and diverse and exciting as it is,” he said.

“I do feel like we have been successful doing that with this show.”

15/ 16 SEASON

For the past few semesters, I’ve taken on the daunting yet exciting task of literature courses.

Daunting because the ones I’ve taken have had at least seven full-length books to read over the course of the semester; exciting because it’s a chance for me to explore a genre of literature or subject matter I’m interested in.

If you haven’t already signed up for classes for next semester and are considering what to pursue, I would highly recommend taking one of these literature courses.

Yes, it’s a lot of responsibility, and I will be the first to admit that it’s easy to fall behind on readings when your other classes come knocking.

And, as is the case for most classes, having a good professor is half the battle.

When the perfect circumstances of a highly rated professor, interesting subject matter and availability all come together, an opportu-

nity to learn in a valuable and different way arises.

Whether the class is solely focused on novels, memoirs, biographies or any combination of the many forms a book can take, learning from a source other than a textbook is refreshing.

Reading a story in the form of a book is something we can relate to and usually understand much better than dense text made even more unintelligible by academic language.

For example, in my Literature of the Holocaust class, the subject matter is certainly better addressed through a first-person account, such as in “Night” by Elie Wiesel or “Survival in Auschwitz” by Primo Levi.

Reading these stories about the Holocaust, which are true or based on fact, has a far greater effect emotionally and mentally than a textbook.

A class I took on “The

Arabian Nights” and some recent interpretations of the work made trying to sift through the history of those ancient stories much easier and more enjoyable.

A huge, daunting compilation like “The Arabian Nights” would have scared me off if not for my professor, who was passionate and extremely well-educated on the subject.

It remains one of my favorite classes in college so far.

The discussions I’ve had in literature classes have also been memorable — when everyone did the reading, at least.

In my experience, books can provoke a stronger reaction from students than a document taken out of an academic journal, and they make us question not only our knowledge on a subject but our emotions, too.

Books also give us that personal connection which is missing from other classes.

Rachel Rosenstock is a sophomore in journalism and French.

We can identify with the characters, recall when a similar situation happened to us or sympathize with their fears.

Literature brings that human element into college classrooms, where sometimes it is desperately needed.

Next year, I won’t be able to take a literature course in English because I will be studying abroad, but I’m interested in seeing how I would fare in one in a French classroom.

Any place where culture, language and literature all come into play is somewhere I want to be.

Consider signing up for one of the many literature courses next year.

I promise it’s not too scary. rarosens@indiana.edu @rachrosenstock

Television host plays in one-man show From IDS reports

Television host Marc Summers is playing in a one-man show for the Bloomington Playwrights Project.

Summers is an Indianapolis native who has been the host or co-host of about 25 shows, including Nickelodeon’s game show “Double Dare” and Food Network’s “Unwrapped,” according to TheaterMania.

The show is called “Everything In Its Place: The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers,” and it follows his beginnings as a magician, his television career and his

struggles with obsessivecompulsive disorder, according to the BPP website.

Performances began on April 1, and will run for the next two weekends.

“Everything In Its Place” is by Alex Brightman and directed by Chad Rabinovitz.

It features original music by Drew Gasparini.

Despite his career in television, Summers said in an Indianapolis Star article that his story is relatable.

“People sometimes think that celebrities are special, but they’re not,” Summers said in the article. “That’s what I’m trying to get across, that my life is no different

than anyone’s. I think it’s a show that relates to other humans.”

In the article, Summers said the writing process started with dinners with Brightman and Gasparini in which they would ask him questions about his life and career.

They gave him the script for the show after around two and a half years of these interviews.

The show is a chance to meet the real Summers, who is “a man who’s led a fascinating life of fame and frustration,” according to the BPP website.

After the show’s run in

Bloomington, it will move on to the Adirondack Theatre Festival.

Summers said he enjoys appearing on-stage before a live audience, according to TheaterMania.

“And with a tip of my hat and a wink of the eye to the countless TV game shows I’ve appeared on, we anticipate that an actual game show could possibly break out in the middle of my new live show,” Summers said on TheaterMania. “In fact, members of our theater audience might even win real prizes!”

W | PASTERNACK ON THE PAST Once a week, Jesse Pasternack reviews a film made before 1980, hoping to expose readers to classics they might not normally watch.

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

’70s cult film fun to watch I would be surprised if you have heard of “Phantom of the Paradise.” Few people have. But it is a perfect cult classic that deserves a wider audience.

“Phantom of the Paradise” is a musical satire about the record business of the early 1970s. The mysterious and malevolent producer Swan falsely imprisons brilliant songwriter Winslow Leach so he can steal his music. Leach escapes but is horribly disfigured, and starts haunting Swan’s rock venue a la the Phantom of the Opera.

The movie most people would compare “Phantom of the Paradise” to is “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

Both films are ’70s musicals that gained a cult following.

While “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” eventually became popular throughout the United States, “Phantom of the Paradise” found

success primarily in Winnipeg, Canada.

“Phantom of the Paradise” has all of the campy exuberance of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” but with more adroit directing. It is full of inventive sequences that remind you of the magic of filmmaking. One sequence involving a split screen left me stunned at its complexity and technical brilliance.

You can feel the love director Brian De Palma has for movies and filmmaking coursing through “Phantom of the Paradise.”

It’s like that guy from your high school who wouldn’t shut up about movies got the chance to make his own movie. There are a lot of dated things in “Phantom of the Paradise,” but it has a passion for its story that keeps it timeless.

The songs of “Phantom of the Paradise” are catchy

and musically complex. Paul Williams, who co-wrote the Muppet classic “Rainbow Connection,” wrote all of the songs for this movie. These songs include fun parodies of various genres and heartfelt ballads.

Williams also plays Swan, the evil record producer. He looks like Elton John’s evil twin and is appropriately devilish. I was surprised at the complexity and charm of his performance.

William Finley is great as the title character. Jessica Harper has some excellent solos as Phoenix. Every detail of Gerrit Graham’s performance as the flamboyant rock star Beef made me laugh out loud.

“Phantom of the Paradise” unfortunately remains relevant in its depiction of how the music industry exploits women.

The offscreen attempted rape of Phoenix, the female lead character, will remind

viewers of the recent accusations Kesha made against her producer. I look forward to the day when these scenes of women being sexually exploited and harassed will be as unrealistic as the scene of Leach signing his contract in blood.

“Phantom of the Paradise” is not perfect.

There are some twists and plot developments near the end that feel a little too rushed. The relationship between Phoenix and Leach could have been more developed.

“Phantom of the Paradise” is available to rent from the library on the top floor in Collins and on iTunes. A movie this fun and unique deserves to be seen more widely. It will haunt you, but you will be glad it does.

hippies in the mid-1960s.

The two aren’t unlike each other either. Just look at hipster music.

There is much debate on when, where and who set the bar for hipster music. Some would say it has always been around, simply transforming over time with folk music. They would not be wrong.

The first musical group to perhaps reintroduce this style after a period of punk rock and disco would be Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Considering Nick Cave has pretty much just combined every genre ever at the time, something entirely new doesn’t seem too lunatic.

When I think of who revolutionized this movement, however, I simply cannot think of any two more qualified bands than Oasis and Blur. I’m pretty sure their contemporary recall to the “mod scene” of the 1960s re-invented “coffeehouse music.”

Despite this accomplishment, you can only credit Blur and Oasis with creating the sound of the hipster movement, though their delving into mainstream music disquaifies them as a hipster band. It’s hard to say they were entirely consistent with that tone, but very few inventors are.

It seems more likely the first true embodiment of this movement came through the 1998 Neutral Milk Hotel album “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.” This album sounds like a Wes Anderson movie looks. It doesn’t sing lyrics.

It tells a story.

Not since the end of the American folk music revival from the late 1940s to the early 1970s had there been any music quite like it in the mainstream.

Billboard charts, MTV and pop radio stations seem to have stripped music of its core purpose: artistry.

What Bob Dylan and Joan Baez brought to us half a century ago is being revitalized again through the work of Frank Turner and Fiona Apple, whose deviations from musical standards are reflected in their general mainstream anonymity.

You can also typically find both hidden within the back of coffee shops, a copy of Sylvia Plath’s “The Bell Jar” covering their faces and a cup of chai tea next to them.

With that said, there seems to be more of an apparent air of melancholy hanging over the music of hipsters than the music of hippies.

While I cannot call songs like “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and “Diamonds and Rust” optimistic songs, the majority of songs from the folk music revival was supposed to bring a feeling and sense of hope to the listener.

As for now, it seems to be nihilism is the norm.

It was as if someone blended the instrumentation of folk music and the prose and emotion of grunge together into what is now hipster music.

And that’s wonderful.

Like a Hemingway novel, its pure, unadulterated emotion at its very essence. That’s damn good songwriting.

It really shows too, considering bands like Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, the xx, Tame Impala and the Black Keys are some of the best bands to play on radio in the 21th century.

There was once a time when hippies were just as hated as hipsters.

Does that mean the latter will someday be just as romanticized?

If that’s the case, wouldn’t you rather say you rather say you embraced the movement rather than fought it?
