MEN’S BASKETBALL

IU and Purdue to play tonight

By Sam Beishuizen

“No men allowed beyond this point,” reads a sign on the wall in Martha’s House. Policies at Martha’s House segregate men and women based on physiology, not gender identity.

If the IU-Purdue basketball rivalry has lost any intensity, the players certainly haven’t noticed.

Purdue’s Bryson Scott Basket Case, couldn’t page 11 hide his Read about what excitement the Hoosiers need after the to do to beat the BoilermakBoilermakers. ers blew out the Hoosiers 83-67 earlier this season. When he was asked why, he laughed.

“Because they’re Indiana,” Scott said. “You’ve got to win against Indiana.”

IU (18-8, 8-5) will try to avoid being swept in a two-game regularseason series against Purdue (17-9, 9-4) for the first time since 2011 at 7 p.m. today in Assembly Hall.

The game is significant for both programs not just because it’s a rivalry game, but also because it has weight in clinching NCAA Tournament berths.

In aggregated NCAA Tournament field projections by bracketmatrix.com, the Boilermakers are sitting squarely on the bubble as a potential 11-seed. The Hoosiers are projected as a 7-seed.

The Boilermakers will come to Assembly Hall looking to add another bullet to their NCAA Tournament resumé. With time running out on its season, Purdue will no doubt be hungry for another road win, but that’s just fine by junior guard Yogi Ferrell.

“We always are going to want Purdue’s best when we play them because we feel like we’re going to give them our best,” Ferrell said.

“That just makes the game that much more fun, going out there and trying to put on a show.”

The show won’t go on twice during the next regular season.

An IU spokesperson said IU and Purdue will play only once next season at Assembly Hall.

No place to stay Policies at local shelter raise questions about transgender issues in Indiana

By Lyndsay Jones

jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy

Two white flags hang from the porch at Boxcar Books.

They insist readers call the township board and have funding removed from Martha’s House, a local homeless shelter.

Martha’s House, the flag says, has transphobic policies, segregating people at the shelter according to biological sex.

These policies led to a Human Rights Commission case against the cash-strapped shelter last year. Nothing has changed.

About a year ago, Interfaith Winter Shelter director Samantha Harrell met Sara Cole, who describes herself on Facebook as a pre-operation male-to-female transsexual. They met when Cole came to Interfaith after living briefly at Martha’s House.

“A woman came late, crying, terrified,” Harrell said. “She tells me Martha’s House had her stay with men.”

Martha’s House is divided into two sides: men’s and women’s.

If Perry Township Board member Dan Combs had been with Cole that night, he would

have found an alternative option.

“I cannot recall one time we sent a transgendered person to a shelter, because of safety,” Combs said. “I’ve put people in motels before to avoid it.”

Harrell said Cole told her she asked to be placed with the women.

“She was interrogated about her genitals, her surgery status,” Harrell said. Because she was pre-operational, Martha’s House policy dictated she live on the men’s side of the shelter. Then, Harrell said, came problems.

“She was getting so many death threats,” Harrell said. “They would include ‘Martha’s House

says you’re a man.’ And the threats followed her.”

The Indiana Daily Student reached out to Cole, who was unavailable for contact. But her story lives in a file in City Hall where, with the help of Harrell, she filed a human rights violation.

“The male residents taunted and harassed me,” Cole said in her statement. “Early shift staff tried to stop the harassment, but the late shift staff did nothing.”

She wanted an apology, a change in Martha’s House policies and special training for both staff and residents.

Little Fifty replaced with 5-kilometer race

By Megan Jula mjula@indiana.edu | @meganjula

The IU Student Foundation is replacing Little Fifty, the running relay counterpart to the Little 500 bike race, with a 5-kilometer race this year.

“I wouldn’t say that it is canceled,” Jordan Bailey, IUSF Little 500 Race Director, said. “We are trying to shift our efforts to be inclusive to the entire student population.”

Little Fifty began in 2003. Since 2008, the participation in the 4 x 400, 50-lap relay has been down, Bailey said.

Each year, the relay took place at the Billy Hayes Track about the same week as Little 500.

This location was isolated, Bailey said, and only a small network of people were aware of the event.

This year’s 5K will wind through

campus.

“There will be more visibility to what they’re trying to do,” Bailey said.

The chip-timed 5K will still allow for competition, Bailey said, as well as accommodate participants who want to walk the course.

Participants can sign up as individuals or with an organization.

Though Little Fifty was limited to four members per team, the 5k will not have a cap.

Results will be scored in a style similar to cross-country scoring. The times of the top four finishers from each team will be added together, and the fastest times will place highest. There will be three categories for winners: men, women and co-ed.

Students tested on trivia

By Maia Cochran maicochr@indiana.edu | @_maiacochran

Four-time winners Higher Purpose were almost dethroned in Wednesday’s annual Black Knowledge Bowl at the Neal-Marshall Culture Center.

Higher Purpose, Addicted To Knowledge, and Greatest Of All Time buzzed in answers during a “Jeopardy”style competition focused on the history, pop culture and other facts with black trivia.

The Knowledge Bowl is one of many Black History Month events on campus.

HP and ATK dominated the competition, while junior team captain Aboiye Oshodi of GOAT said he was happy his team was not disqualified.

Oshodi was sitting at his team’s table in the NealMarshall Grand Hall when he received a text from his roommates stating they weren’t going to be able to make it, but a couple of his friends in the audience were able to step up and compete with him.

ATK took the lead of $4,700 after two rounds, competing head-to-head with HP in Final Jeopardy. Isaiah Sloss, captain of HP, said he and his three team members were not expecting such strong competition from ATK. Cassia LeBron-Willia, captain of ATK, said their rival “came to win” last night.

She said her team will definitely be back next year.

knew after the first round ATK was going to be a threat to defending their title.

“It got down to the very last question,” Sloss said. “And I really saw how screwed, in terms of points, that we were.”

Sloss said his team went into Final Jeopardy expecting a difficult question, but the competition had never been so close in previous years.

The final question asked the teams to identify another term for the number 150, as the Emancipation Proclamation will be celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.

He said his team leaned back on “the strategy of the game” in order to pull out a

win against ATK. “At this point they had shown that they are a team of intelligent people,” he said.

“So I knew that if we didn’t know the answer, chances are they didn’t know it either.”

He said their only chance of winning the competition was to hope ATK would wager more points and not know the answer to the question.

The term the judges were looking for was “sesquicentennial.” ATK wagered all of their money with the answer “centennial, and a half” and HP wagered $0 with the answer “What is Jesus?” in Final Jeopardy.

“He’s always the answer,” Sloss said. “We couldn’t go wrong with that one.”

HP won $300 and kept their title as champions of Black Knowledge Bowl 2015.

Amrita Myers, associate professor of the Department of History and contributing judge, said she hoped ATK would beat them this year.

Though frigid weather meant a smaller crowd than expected, Neal-Marshall Director Stephanie PowersCarter said she was happy with the turnout.

“Freshmen team, you guys really gave HP a run for their money this year,” Powers-Carter said.

Union Board sponsors service trip

By Bridget Murray bridmurr@indiana.edu @bridget_murray

Union Board will sponsor a Habitat for Humanity spring break trip to Winter Haven, Fla., this year for students looking to serve instead of surf. The trip is March 14-21.

Habitat for Humanity is an organization whose mission is to build homes for families in need. Kevin Kenes, Union Board director of the Fun and Adventure committee, said student volunteers will likely work on two or three houses within the week and meet the families they are serving.

The IU chapter of Habitat for Humanity assisted in planning this trip. Junior Azad Neupane is a member of the chapter and specifically works with chapter development.

The chapter worked with Union Board as part of its

release.

IU has 36 alumni volunteers serving with the Peace Corps. Last year, IU was No. 25 and had 35 alumni serving. The Peace Corps will host information sessions next week.

efforts to involve other campus organizations in Habitat, Neupane said.

Although a Habitat build is not a typical spring break trip, Kenes said the location would allow the group to do more than just manual labor.

Kenes said they would work four out of the five days and use extra time for activities such as a day trip to the beach in Tampa or Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. “It would be more than just a build,” he said. “It’s supposed to be the whole spring break experience.”

In his experience, Neupane said, the professional crew on site at a build effectively works with volunteers.

“You don’t even need any experience — they understand that you’re college students,” he said.

The trip costs $250 per student, which includes travel,

Healthy beginnings start with healthy eyes.

food and lodging.

Neupane said some of the money might be used as a donation by the organization and put into future builds.

He said a Habitat house is not simply given away; the recipient family pays a type of mortgage. Once the family pays off the mortgage for their new home, that money is returned and used to fund another house. Neupane said that in this way, donations are always being paid forward.

“You know that the money that you’re putting into this trip, it’s not just a one-time thing,” he said.

Students will travel by bus to Winter Haven, Fla., and stay in a local church, Kenes said.

There are 15 spots open for the trip. Interested students can reserve a spot by emailing ubtrips@indiana.edu.

If more than 15 students are interested, Kenes said, the

spots would be filled based on an application process. This is to ensure each student is committed to the service they would do.

Students should reserve their spot by March 1. Kenes said the trip is a rewarding way for students to spend their break. He said he wants enough interested students to fill the bus.

“You want an experience that can improve your resume and give you that warm fuzzy feeling inside afterward,” he said.

Kenes said the build is a tangible way for volunteers to see the impact of their work on a family or community and creates a valuable experience.

“We thought it would be a great way for students to kind of go a little bit out of their comfort zone,” Kenes said.

“Gives them a chance to do something good.”

Study says vegetarianism better for earth

By Anna Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6

For Megan Schmidt, it was egg, bacon and cheese piled onto a bagel.

Stephanie Niemeyer ate chicken and noodles. Sarah Gilland couldn’t resist a ham sandwich. No matter what the food was or how much time has since gone by, most vegetarians can remember their last meatfilled meal.

Though memories of these dishes have lingered after many months or years, these Bloomington residents stand by their choice to become vegetarians.

Not because they don’t miss the smell of fresh bacon wafting up from the kitchen, but because they say it’s better for the environment.

“Basically, I think the meat industry is horrendous,” Niemeyer, a Bloomingfoods employee, said.

“The waste that they produce and put into the waterways is really terrible.”

She’s not alone. Environmentalists across the state recently became upset about a state bill that, if passed, would limit the control local Indiana governments have over large livestock farms.

The bill sparked a lively debate between the farming lobby and environmentalists.

The Senate committee concluded that the General Assembly would need more information before voting on the bill.

They decided to give Purdue University’s College of Agriculture until Nov. 1 to research the issue and report what they find.

Melissa Clark, a School of Public and Environmental Affairs professor who specializes in sustainability and watershed management, described the consequences uncontrolled livestock production can have on water sources.

“Raising livestock has a whole sweep of problems associated with its impact on waterways,” Clark said.

“One of the biggest problems with farmers raising livestock is keeping them out of the streams. Their grazing also has a huge impact on soil health and on runoff.”

Clark explained that when large animals walk over the same space many times, it causes compaction and the soil becomes impermeable like a sidewalk.

Because of this density, it is no longer able to have

root structures, air or water running through it. Plants are unable to grow in the area and rainwater, which can no longer seep into the ground, turns into excess runoff and brings unwanted nutrients into the waterways.

“We can’t keep forcing the industry to pump out so much livestock,” Clark said.

“With a population of 7 billion people and growing, we can’t afford to lose these resources.”

Aside from the changes to soil and waterways, livestock produce a substantial amount of waste.

A recent study in the Climatic Change journal found that people who maintain a vegan diet are responsible for 50 percent less dietary greenhouse gas emissions than meat eaters.

“We spend a lot of time focusing on fuel emissions from cars and electricity and how that’s harmful, when in actuality our diets have a huge impact as well,” said Gilland, who wrote her senior thesis on the effects of a vegan diet.

“The meat producers will try to convince you that there’s more ethical ways of doing it, but it’s really all bad.”

Deb Kelly, co-owner of

Good Life Farms, said she disagrees. Though she and her family eat a largely vegetarian diet, they have also met livestock producers at the Bloomington farmers’ markets who they trust to provide meat in an environmentally responsible way.

“If I’m going to get meat, I like to know how it’s raised,” Kelly said. “We try to work with other local farmers because they have the same principles that we do as local growers.

Being a farmer makes you really aware of what else is out there and the processes other people are using.”

Clark, a former vegetarian herself, agreed that this conscientiousness is what matters most.

“Try to connect with your food personally,” she said. “Between a meateater who really connects with the food and eats a lot of healthy local food and a vegetarian who eats everything out of a box, I would go with the meat eater.”

She does clarify that meat should not make an appearance in every meal.

“As you move up the food chain and start eating livestock versus primary plant material, you’re using more energy, more food resources and more water resources,”

Effects of meat production IN MONROE COUNTY In Monroe county, 12,799 acres are used for pastures for livestock.

Dating start-up incorporates video Free coding school will launch in May

By Brian Gamache bgamache@indiana.edu | @brgamache

Is Tinder’s flame dwindling?

Tech start-up BoomFlint, launching Friday, is seeking to become the go-to meet-up app for college students.

BoomFlint only allows students on the Forbes list of top 200 colleges to download and access the app, founder Brandon Gelbart said.

“I was a Tinder user,” said Gelbart, who is 24 and a recent college graduate. “It was cool because it was all college kids.”

The BoomFlint app features an interface that will be familiar to Tinder users. The app shows a profile and picture of potential matches and users swipe left for “yes” and right for “no.”

The similarity is intentional, Gelbart said.

“Eventually Tinder became something everybody was on,” Gelbart said, “There’s got to be a way to take what Tinder was and make it for college kids again.”

BoomFlint is attempting to accomplish this by using “geo-fences” that map out college campuses.

Users within the fences can use and access the app, while users outside of the fences cannot.

The idea echoes the founding of Facebook, where initially an .edu email address was required to sign up for the then-fledgling social media service.

Unlike the social media giant, BoomFlint does not intend to expand beyond colleges, Gelbart said.

The geo-fences have pros and cons. While they do limit users to college campuses, users who live off campus cannot use the app when they leave campus.

Additionally, an .edu address is not required to sign up for the app.

Anyone on a college cam-

A new dating app called BoomFlint is set to launch Feb. 20.

pus, not just college students who are enrolled in classes, could potentially sign up for and use the dating app.

Some say they wouldn’t.

“I wouldn’t use it,” IU sophomore Alec Lasley said, “I think more people use Tinder.”

Despite these hurdles, the collegiate focus of the app is clear and goes beyond geo-fences.

Of more than 200 employees, only Gelbart and the company’s iOS developer are college graduates, the founder said.

“Everybody’s getting paid,” Gelbart said, “Often as much as two times

minimum wage.”

After working unpaid college internships, the founders of BoomFlint are practicing different employment practices, Gelbart said.

The project is privately funded.

An additional collegiate focus is to use students as the face of the app rather than models, Gelbart said.

Every three months, BoomFlint will hold a competition between its users to submit a video showing a talent or skill. The winner of the competition will receive a $5,000 scholarship and be the face of the app, Gelbart

said.

While a totally collegecentric version of a meetup app is novel, recent months have seen the launch of many Tinder-like apps that cater to specific populations.

Other Tinder-like services include the recently launched app the League, which caters to upper class individuals in major cities, and happn, which matches users with people they have recently been geographically close to.

“BoomFlint is all about education,” Gelbart said. “It’s a network just for college students.”

The Bloomington Tech Partnership will offer a free Code School program for all Monroe County residents starting in March and running through May. The program, which first began in June 2014, will teach classes in web development and design, PHP development and mobile app development.

“IU students are absolutely allowed to take classes,” BTP Director Katie Birge said. “Anybody with a Monroe County library card can do this.”

Taught by mentors from local companies, the classes will teach in-demand skills by the end of the three-month course, according to the group’s website.

Jena Hanes, an IU alumna with a science and education background, went through the code school course last year.

She was connected to local businesses through the program and is now working with local companies, including Underground Cupcake and Ellerman Roofing, to build websites.

“It helped provide the next step and connections I needed,” Hanes said. “I’m absolutely thrilled about it.”

Hanes is employed by IU but hopes to transition to coding full time.

Sign-ups are now live and end March 2 when classes begin, according to the group’s website. Classes will run in the evening Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Wicks Building on 116 W. Sixth St. Working with the Monroe County Public Library, the BTP has arranged for free memberships to the Treehouse code-learning platform for all Monroe County residents.

“It’s cheaper than a university class,” Birge said. “We’ve

had several IU and Ivy Tech students take classes already.”

Treehouse is a web platform that provides tutorials and learning software for aspiring coders, according to the company’s website. A free subscription is available to all MCPL card carriers, but only members of the coding class will have access to personal mentoring as part of the program.

“I would encourage everybody to use Treehouse,” Birge said.

The BTP and its parent organization, the Bloomington Economic Development Corporation, intend for these classes to increase Bloomington’s tech workforce.

The BEDC works with local development corporations to encourage economic growth in Monroe County, according to the group’s website.

“We want to package the program in a binder to help other counties in Indiana,” Birge said. “We would like to continue to grow.”

The technology industry is booming in Indiana, with 11.4 percent of the state’s workforce employed in tech and other advanced industries, according to a Feb. 3 report

by Brookings. These rankings place Indiana at fourth in the nation for per capita advanced industry employment, according to the report.

The BTP Code School program has been nominated for the Mira Awards, which take place in May. The Awards, in their 16th year, celebrate the year’s best in Indiana technology, according to the group’s website.

Along with economic growth, the program provides real opportunities for residents to learn skills.

“I did it,” Hanes said of her first website. “It’s real, it’s public, people can see it, and I can put it in my portfolio.”

The Human Rights Commission had strict legal parameters to work in, ones not made for cases like Cole’s.

The commission sided with Martha’s House, saying that it was within its legal rights to house Cole on the men’s side since the shelter said it attempts to create a safe environment for all residents.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Harrell said she started to take the situation into her own hands, sending a complaint to Martha’s House and helping Cole file a complaint to the Human Rights Commission.

Martha’s House submitted its version of events to the commission, complaining about her behavior at the shelter. “... other Martha’s House residents complained about Ms. Cole, alleging that she repeatedly stared at other men’s genitals in the restroom, monopolized the restroom and told a female resident that she wanted to be alone with that resident’s husband because he was ‘so sexy,’” commission investigator Byron Bangert and director Barbara McKinney wrote in their report.

Martha’s House, according to the report, banned Cole from the shelter for these actions, not because she was transgender.

The report noted that Cole denied any “disputes caused at the facility.” It went so far as to posit that some of the complaints brought against her might have been made by residents “out of their own prejudice or phobia.”

“Bloomington is unable to enforce its prohibition against gender identity discrimination with the same legal teeth available in cases alleging sex or race discrimination,” the report said.

Martha’s House is contracted by the township to operate a homeless shelter. The township pays them $1 every year to keep Martha’s House going. Combs said at least three other counties also contribute to its funding.

Although Martha’s House has a contract with the township, the shelter is responsible for its interior polices, and those are not easily altered.

For the past 40 seasons, Saturday Night Live has been changing the culture of comedy and television. The weekly variety show has created stars and built a community that continues to reel people in. Here’s a look at some of the best aspects of the show.

Best Hosts

Best Characters

Best Current Cast Members

1 Alec Baldwin 2 Tom Hanks 3 Christopher Walken 4 Justin Timberlake 5 John Goodman

1 Wayne and Garth (Mike Meyers and Dana Carvery) 2 Matt Foley (Chris Farley) 3 Stefon (Bill Hader) 4 Mr. Robinson (Eddie Murphy) 5 Nick the Lounge Singer(BIll Murray)

1 Kate McKinnon 2 Taran Killan 3 Aidy Bryant 4 Bobby Moynihan 5 Vanessa Bayer

Alec Baldwin has reached the point where he is essentially a cast member.

Even when he’s not hosting, he’s swinging by and appearing in sketches.

The fact that he was a star of “30 Rock,” a show based on “Saturday Night Live” and written by Tina Fey, only makes his relationship with the show stronger.

His most memorable

moment might be as Pete Schweddy, who makes the best “Schweddy Balls,” but do not discount his performance in “Canteen Boy” and his impressions of Charles Nelson Reilly, Tony Bennett and Saddam Hussein.

Baldwin first hosted in 1990 and has been making appearances ever since. He even once hosted with his then-wife, Kim Basinger.

Stefon is the most relevant character to this generation and definitely the most beloved Weekend Update guest. His rise is pretty inexplicable considering how bizarre the character is.

This is a character that easily could have bombed, but much of his success stems from the likability of Hader.

Hader and writer John Mulaney cooked this

character up from their ridiculous conversations referencing obscure pop culture members. The best part of Stefon, by far, is how Mulaney would add new jokes to the cue cards right before the show without telling Hader. These little bits would catch Hader off-guard and lead to him breaking on air and having to cover his face because he was laughing too hard.

Kate McKinnon is a force of nature and the perfect person to take the reins as the elite female cast member now that Kristen Wiig is gone. Olya Povlatsky, the Russian woman who discusses how awful her life is in her village, is an instant classic.

It is her impressions, though, that take it to the next level. Her Justin Bieber is the most well-known,

Griffin Leeds writes about what has kept SNL going for 40 years, page 16

but her Ellen DeGeneres is a personal favorite. Her Angela Merkel led me to not be able to take any news story about the German chancellor seriously.

Her presence this season has oddly subsided, but I would imagine that is temporary. She seems to dominate certain episodes when she and a host, like Jimmy Fallon, hit it off.

Bad love story hits big screen ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ D

MOVIESTILLSDB.COM

Step aside, James Bond ‘Kingsman’ BThere are three things in this world that I absolutely and endlessly love: puppies, profanity and watching Colin Firth kick ass while wearing a well-fitted suit and adorable grandpa glasses.

So “Kingsman: The Secret Service” was basically made for me because it had all three.

Based on the 2012 comic book series “The Secret Service,” “Kingsman” takes the classic spy thriller and grooms and refines it into a compelling tale of adventure and overcoming social stigma.

Taron Egerton plays Eggsy Unwin, a clever street kid who lands in hot water after stealing a car. He is arrested and decides to call in a favor to get out.

Enter the dashing Colin Firth as Harry Hart, a member of the Kingsman.

The Kingsman is an elite spy organization made up of uppity white British men with posh accents who use code names based off of the Knights of the Round Table because they’re just cool like that.

Oh, and Eggsy’s father used to be a Kingsman. He dies to save Harry’s life, which feeds the guilt Harry is still carrying some years later when he bails Eggsy out of jail.

Then, in a stroke of genius, Harry decides maybe the best way to repay Eggsy for the death of his father is to recruit Eggsy to become a Kingsman himself.

Seeing no flaws in this logic and having nothing to lose, Eggsy agrees and soon finds himself competing with a group of upper class snobs for the coveted spot as a Kingsman.

Meanwhile, Harry begins to investigate the disappearances of several celebrities and diplomats from around the world.

It leads him to Richmond Valentine, a billionaire business mogul who has decided it is his duty to save the world from itself.

Unfortunately, Valentine’s solution to save the world is to take out a large chunk of the population by turning people into murderous psychopaths.

The fate of the world inevitably lands on Eggsy’s shoulders. There are some explosions, lots of gun fire, a moment of “Oh no, will he make it on time?” and a clever one-liner to tie it all together.

“Kingsman” offers a smart twist on common spy films. It’s not just that Eggsy isn’t your typical spy type. He has an impressive background in gymnastics from when he was a child.

He was good in school and

was in the marines for a time, which makes his success during Kingsman training understandable.

Don’t be alarmed by the film’s R rating. It’s mostly due to language because “Kingsman” did not hold back on the cussing. Quite a few choice words were delivered

by Firth, who somehow manages to make the most vulgar terms sound poetic and polite.

“Kingsman” shines a different light on spy thrillers.

It’s gritty and will likely be more effective in pulling the younger generation into the genre through its crude humor and flawed characters.

Don’t go in expecting the kind of cat-and-mouse power dynamic we’ve become accustomed to through Bond films, because it just ain’t that kind of movie.

Lexia Banks

Let’s start by making it clear. This review is based solely on what happened in the movie “Fifty Shades of Grey,” and I am not taking into consideration what happened in the book or sequels.

“Fifty Shades of Grey,” the movie, is a poorly thoughtout piece of trash.

If you’ve been stranded in a desert for the last three years and haven’t heard, “Fifty Shades of Grey” is a sex-driven romance novel written by E.L. James. It began as a work of fan fiction based off of “Twilight,” so you can imagine the height of my expectations.

But instead of writing mopey, sparkly vampires to carry the story so she didn’t have to put effort into crafting interesting characters, James has bondage, domination, sadism and masochism and characters that are still as flat as the pages they’re written on.

And now it’s a movie.

Thanks, Hollywood.

Anastasia Steele is a 22-year-old English literature student in Vancouver, Wash.

When her roommate, Kate, gets sick, Ana must take her place in interviewing billionaire businessman Christian Grey.

There is some awkward flirting, and an attraction that makes no sense begins to grow. A few sequences later, Christian is asking Ana to be his submissive.

Christian is a dominant, an individual in a BDSM relationship who takes pleasure in asserting control over his partner, the

submissive. For reasons that are never explained, Christian decides he wants Ana to be his next submissive.

Of course, Christian can’t just ask nicely. He slaps a contract in front of Ana, one she must sign in order to have any kind of intimate relationship with Christian.

The contract goes into detail defining the terms of their relationship, the types of tools he might use on Ana and the things he can put into her body. It even limits her eating and drinking habits.

Ana is not sold on the idea of signing over the rights of her own body, nor is she overly enthusiastic about the idea of letting a man hit her so he can get his rocks off.

Still, Ana can’t leave Christian. And though Ana resists signing the contract, Christian continues to see Ana and have sex with her.

It’s a lot of back and forth, a lot of “He scares me, but I love him so much” and “I’m no good for you, but I just can’t let you go.” Does any of that sound familiar?

If this was a high school drama, that kind of instability would work. But this is two grown adults, and I don’t think I’m asking too much for a little more maturity.

Aside from a weak romance, “Fifty Shades of Grey” is full of moral issues.

For one, the BDSM concerns me. There is no support for Ana. Christian won’t even sleep in the same room with her. There is no care when a BDSM session ends. Christian leaves Ana to take care of herself. I also don’t like that Christian’s idea of easing sexually inexperienced Ana into a BDSM relationship is to use a riding crop during the third SEE FIFTY SHADES, PAGE 16

IU loses to Michigan

By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu | @Brody_Miller_

IU Coach Teri Moren likes to say when the Hoosiers hit shots early, the rest of the game follows suit. This was true after wins against Wisconsin and Purdue.

It wasn’t the case when IU (14-12, 4-11) lost 68-52 on Wednesday to Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Hoosiers made six of their first eight shots to jump out to a 15-9 lead. The team shot 14of-49 from there on out.

“Didn’t have the focus, didn’t have the edge or toughness to execute what we wanted to do,” Moren said.

While the Wolverines seemed incapable of missing, shooting 67 percent at halftime, IU struggled to move the ball and did not convert many open jump shots.

Moren seemed to be trying anything to mix things up.

With 14 minutes remaining in the second half, she sent out a lineup of all-wing perimeter players. Sophomores

Taylor Agler, Karlee McBride and Lyndsay Leikem took the court with freshmen Jess Walter and Maura Muensterman.

The result: three consecutive turnovers, three missed shots and a 6-0 Michigan run in two minutes to bring the score to 56-35.

Offense was an issue throughout as only sophomore guard Larryn Brooks scored in double digits, putting up 14 points off of 4-of8 shooting and 4-of-6 from deep. Excluding Brooks, the Hoosiers shot 3-of-16 from 3-point range for 19 percent.

At one point, freshman guard Tyra Buss had a wide open three in the corner with nobody in sight. She missed the shot. On the next possession, she had a nearly identical look and missed again.

Moren said earlier this week that getting the ball to sophomore Jenn Anderson down low early would be crucial in getting Michigan forward Cyesha Goree into early foul trouble to open

MICHIGAN 68, IU 52 Points Brooks, 14 Rebounds Cahill, 5 Assists Buss, Brooks, 2 things up. Anderson ended with four points and Goree had one foul.

Walter, who scored a team-leading 18 points Sunday against Iowa, shot 2-of-7 for seven points.

Of the 37 missed Hoosier shots, IU came down with the rebound on eight.

Moren said she was frustrated with the rebounding performance, losing 41-18 on the boards.

It was never really turnovers that caused issues, as IU only gave the ball away eight times, three of which from the aforementioned allwing lineup. Shots weren’t falling and the defense was not there to bail the offense out.

“A lot of our mistakes, unfortunately, are the same ones we continue to make,” Moren said.

IU can’t slow down Michigan

By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri

With 1:39 left in Wednesday’s game, the IU defense forced Michigan to take an off-balance baseline jump shot with no time on the shot clock — turnover.

On the next possession, it was the same result. A Michigan 3-point shot sailed over the backboard and the shot clock buzzed. Turnover.

By then, the Hoosiers’ deficit was 19. But if their defense the entire game mirrored those two possessions, there might’ve been a different result.

The Hoosiers fell to the Wolverines 68-52 in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Wednesday night, keeping them winless in Big Ten road games.

“I thought, defensively,

we did not come close to executing our game plan,” Moren said.

IU got out to a quick start and a 15-9 lead, but then Michigan went on a 24-11 run to close the half. It was a glimpse of what IU would struggle with the remainder of the game — getting timely stops.

After the break, the Wolverines’ lead stretched to 15 within the first five minutes.

Each time the Hoosiers got a couple baskets in a row, they couldn’t back it up with two or three stops on the other end.

Moren has previously attributed losses to tired legs.

Wednesday night, IU struggled to defend in transition.

Michigan’s fast break offense came largely as a result of dominance on the glass — a 41-18 difference.

But the Wolverines also limited the number of rebounds possible by shooting a season-high 66.7 percent through the first 20 minutes and 55.8 percent in the game.

Katelynn Flaherty, who made her first start since Nov. 20, led Michigan with a gamehigh 21 points on 9-of-17 shooting from the field. Star forward Cyesha Goree, whom the Hoosiers attempted to double team throughout the night, had 12 rebounds but was limited to just four points.

Moren said she was disappointed in the way her team continues to make the same mistakes.

“I thought we went in with the right (game plan) to beat a good Michigan team at home, but just didn’t have the focus, didn’t have the edge or toughness to execute what we wanted to do,” she said.

MONDAY, FEB. 25, 1985

Rebounds typically fall to the biggest players on the floor. Big men are taller, usually stronger and situated closer to the basket than their smaller counterparts.

If a team’s missing that size, common sense says it won’t be able to rebound effectively.

IU’s been able to turn that around with a reboundingby-committee approach.

Rather than relying on one or two big men to position themselves under the basket and corral missed shots, the Hoosiers have used all five players on the floor.

Despite ranking 205th nationally in average height, IU has outrebounded opponents by four boards per game this season.

Junior guard Yogi Ferrell said it’s a matter of the Hoosiers’ guards getting underneath the basket when shots go up. When opponents focus on keeping IU’s bigger players off the glass, it frees up room for its guards to snatch rebounds.

“All of us are going to be in there,” Ferrell said. “It’s really a matter of guards going to get the ball, because we

know that (the forwards) are going to be busy with the big guys.”

Much of the Hoosiers’ success on the glass has come on the offensive end.

Long shots create long rebounds, and IU relies heavily on the 3-point shot. When those jump shots miss, the ball often ends up further away from the rim than usual, creating more opportunities for guard rebounding.

“When you’re taking 3s, there’s no question it’s the bounce a little bit,” Crean said.

IU’s gang-rebounding approach has garnered more than 11 offensive rebounds per game this season, but has cost the Hoosiers in transition. When all five players crash the offensive glass, it allows opponents to leak out into transition and score easy baskets.

Crean has had to work to find a balance between selling out for offensive rebounds and getting back in transition.

“We don’t send as many to the glass as we used to, because we need to make sure our transition defense is really strong,” he said. “And if they don’t go, we’ve got to get it understood why, we’ve got to correct it or we’ve

IU (18-8, 8-5) vs. Purdue (17-9, 9-4) 7:00pm today, Assembly Hall got to make changes in the game.”

IU appears to have built a workaround path to rebounds for its undersized roster. It’s certainly had practice — the Hoosiers haven’t faced a team with a smaller average height since Jan. 5.

Thursday night, they’ll try to make that approach work against a pair of 7-footers. They have before — IU pulled in 34 rebounds to Purdue’s 31 in a loss last month.

The Boilermakers’ two centers — 7-foot junior A.J. Hammons and 7-foot-2 freshman Isaac Haas — combined for just three rebounds in that game.

Crean said rebounding can be planned to an extent, and then it comes down to three factors: determination, concentration and focus. IU will need that effort to avoid another lopsided loss to Purdue, he said.

“We’re going to need every bit of those skills, energy, toughness, all of that to beat Purdue,” Crean said. “We’re looking forward to it.”

BASKET CASE

What IU needs to do to beat Purdue Nobody on the IU men’s basketball team, coach or player, will admit they are thinking about the big picture.

The go-to answer for tournament-related questions always involve taking it one game at a time and focusing on the next opponent.

However, at this point in the season, it’s still important to think of each game in terms of the Big Ten standings.

This is the first year four teams will receive a doublebye to the third round of the Big Ten tournament.

The change comes because of the addition of Rutgers and Maryland to the conference. That makes it all the more important for the Hoosiers to finish in the top four.

Wisconsin is all but guaranteed the top seed, but five or six teams have a legitimate shot at the other three spots behind them.

IU is currently sixth but just one game back of second-place Maryland. With the easiest part of their schedule ahead of them, the Hoosiers should be considered a favorite for a top-four seed.

IU will square off with Purdue on Thursday and Michigan State in the regular season finale, two teams currently ahead of them in the standings.

Both of those games are at

Assembly Hall, which is good news for the Hoosiers.

But in many ways, the old game-by-game adage is correct.

There’s no reason to worry about the next game if you can’t beat Purdue. And IU is definitely capable of that.

In the first meeting, Purdue dominated IU inside on both sides of the court. Senior center A.J. Hammons blocked a career-high eight shots, and the Boilermakers piled up 46 points in the paint on offense.

There’s a simple solution to the first problem and a more complicated one to the second.

First, don’t drive at Hammons. Time after time in the first matchup, an IU guard would slice through the Purdue perimeter defense and try to force up a shot over the 7-footer. It just doesn’t work like that.

Instead, try penetrating and looking for sophomore forward Troy Williams cutting to the basket for a facebreaking throw-down. Or, dish back outside to an open shooter. IU just set the program record for 3-pointers in a game. Everyone is hot right now.

As far as stopping Purdue from scoring inside, IU should do a better job than it did in the last meeting.

It wasn’t Hammons and freshman center Isaac Haas

CASEY KRAJEWSKI is a senior in journalism.

dominating inside — they only combined for 15 points.

It was the penetration of Purdue’s perimeter players against IU. With the way junior forward Hanner MosqueraPerea has rebounded from his injury, he should see about 20 minutes of playing time and provide a shot-altering presence down low — a body to bang with Hammons and Haas.

IU needs to make this game less about big men and more about guards. When at home, IU is better at playing to its advantages.

I also guarantee IU hits more than four 3-pointers Thursday. That’s the number the Hoosiers hit in the first meeting and a major reason they scored their third-lowest total of the season.

In the first game against Purdue, I predicted IU would win 80-69. I think perhaps I had the right score but the wrong game.

My Prediction: IU 80 – Purdue 69 Casey Krajewski is 14-2 in his predictions this season. crkrajew@indiana.edu

Live without regrets, Learn without borders.

By the way, there was a basketball game at Assembly Hall on Saturday.

It was overshadowed by IU coach Bob Knight’s antics, but Purdue defeated the Hoosiers, 72-63. Knight got the most attention, but the Boilermakers got the victory.

The pigs are all right WE SAY: Humane society squeals cruelty Take a trip with us for a second. It’s a Sunday afternoon.

You’re at the Harrison County fair in southern Indiana. You’ve got a beer in one hand and some mind-blowing funnel cake in the other. You can already feel your arteries hardening, and you’re looking for a way to lose those last few shreds of your dignity.

What do you do? Sign up for a demolition derby? Ride the tilt-a-whirl until you puke on a fourth-grader?

Get in a drunken fight with that clown that’s been eyeing you all day?

No, you wrestle a pig.

And why not? It’s your right as an American to be the dumbest one in a wrestling ring with a farm animal.

But there are people out there trying to ruin your perfect day at the fair.

The River Valley Humane Society said last week it will be going in front of Indiana’s Crawford County fair board in order to exclude pig wrestling from this year’s fair festivities.

Now, for those of you that have never heard of this glorious sport, pig wrestling is where a team of four humans are given 30 to 45 seconds to

grab a pig and touch it to a rubber tire within the ring.

This usually involves the four people having to roughly grab and throw the animal around, as it would seem the pig doesn’t see this as a good use of its time.

Though the animal is getting roughhoused a little, we here at the Editorial Board don’t really view this as horrific animal cruelty.

Our reasoning for this is pigs are absolutely gigantic. The average domesticated pig can weigh between 240-280 pounds depending on what the pig is being raised for.

That’s a lot of bacon to throw at a tire, and a pig at the upper end of this scale would see humans trying to wrestle it as more of an inconvenience than anything else.

It should also be noted the pigs are treated extremely well, considering they are raised to be slaughtered for food. All pigs must have impeccable health records and must also walk through disinfectant before getting in the ring. There is also a veterinarian on site at all times, just in case something were to happen.

So, that being said, why is the Humane Society focusing on something this trivial? Well, for the same reason PETA thinks getting pretty girls naked has something to do with animal cruelty.

It gets attention. Do they actually care about the pigs wrestling in the ring? Probably, but we think their main concern is trying to get people to talk about this and raise awareness for any and all animal cruelty.

Though it’s always nice to raise awareness about hurting animals, a move like this is really going to backfire on them.

With all the horrific things that happen to animals in the food production industry, picking something as benign as pig wrestling makes the Humane Society look like it doesn’t even understand the issues its fighting against. But the inhumane treatment of animals in the food industry is an issue entirely of its own.

So, after all this, the question remains. Is pig wrestling animal cruelty?

Not really, unless you consider wasting a Sunday as cruelty.

ZIPPER UNZIPPED

Readers beware of the ‘advertorial’ It’s official: print journalism is now even more dead than it was before.

The latest issue of Forbes magazine has an advertisement for insurance gracing its cover.

Years and years of struggling magazines blurring the lines between advertising and editorial content have finally reached an apex with this unabashed display. It screams, “We’re perpetually on the brink of collapse, please help.”

Forbes may be the first publication to do something quite this blatant, but other magazines are far from innocent. “Advertorial” content — advertising poorly hidden within editorial content — is rampant in your favorite magazines. Hide your kids!

Hide your wife!

These “native” ads attempt to trick the reader into thinking they aren’t ads at all.

And they’re pretty good at it.

Until you look closely and see the villainous marker lurking in the corner of the page, camouflaged in the shadows: “Sponsored Content.”

Oh yes folks, it’s there.

You may think your precious Fast Company and GQ are exceptions, but they aren’t.

No one is safe.

And you’ll see them on websites, too, perhaps even more.

It’s the sad truth about journalism these days: everything could be an ad.

It’s a shame we have to scrutinize so closely everything we read, hear or watch. You never know when

something really interesting or even funny could be an advertisement with a sinister, self-serving angle.

I know publications have to survive some way or another. It’s difficult being in print journalism these days.

So if they have to resort to more advertising, then who am I to stop them?

But putting an ad on your cover? And not just an ad — a “native” ad that doesn’t even really look like an ad at first glance. Journalism should not be in the business of deception.

I would expect to be deceived by some industries.

Tobacco? Sure. Fast food?

Heck, yeah. But journalism?

That’s just not acceptable.

Native advertising is not the way to go for a struggling

print publication. People do not like to be deceived, so if you trick them, they’re going to stop reading your magazine. You can have all the ads you want in your magazine. But it doesn’t matter if nobody’s reading it.

And if nobody’s reading it, you lose your sponsors.

I’ve never even taken a marketing class, and I know this. It’s common sense.

Something you figure the editor of a business magazine would understand. zipperr@indiana.edu

In a recent Dallas basketball game between Flower Mound High School and Plano East, a group of people in the Flower Mound High School student section held up a sign reading “White Power.”

I think racism among millennials is a curious thing because a majority of us have lived in a society where we are largely removed from racial prejudices that characterized the members of a few generations prior.

That is not to mean that we are in a post-racism society; events revolving around Michael Brown and Eric Garner show that there is a current of racial tension running underneath everyday life.

Whoever you believe was at fault for these deaths doesn’t change that fact. It’s the widespread reaction to these catalyzing events that prove that there are tender wounds prevalent among people of all races.

In my experience, it seems to be a characteristic that millennial racism is largely inherited — not by the generation before but from the idea that racism exists.

This draws from an abstract concept of racism, to be observed and commented on from a distance, often with a healthy dose of irony and the assured presumption that there is no way anybody could believe that.

I can’t prove this by any means.

But I don’t think it’s unfounded to claim the examples of racism we see in millennials, such as this sign or common examples of white entitlement, are far different than the racism we saw in the mid-20th century.

While the Flower Mound High School basketball team consists mostly of white players, pictures on the basketball team’s website show there

are several nonwhite players, which makes a sign saying “White Power” seem absurd.

Even if we suppose a person was completely ignorant about the players on the team and came to take a racist stance, the sight of nonwhite players from their team on the court would cause some hesitation at the least.

In my high school, our basketball team had a rivalry with a school — Lake Central — whose team was called the Indians (racial prejudices are already appearing in the anecdote).

In the week before the game when our basketball team would face them, a student organization hung a banner in one of the locker bays that said, “Make them walk the Trail of Tears.”

That’s pretty bad and, for all intents and purposes, it is essentially equivalent to the sign that said “White Power.”

Now, I don’t think a student organization made up of presumably intelligent people would make a sign like that and actually believe in the racist overtones.

And I don’t think the people in the student section of Flower Mound High School believe in the same virulent racism that gave birth to the phrase “White Power.”

Instead, they probably just saw that their team’s jerseys were white and they were playing against a team with black jerseys and, seeing a convenient race dynamic, said, “Hey, this is probably clever.”

Does that make it any less wrong? Of course not. allenjo@indiana.edu

WUNDERFUL

Living in the digital dark age I was trying to upload a file onto Canvas when it told me that it would only take .doc files, and that my Word document being .docx, would not be accepted.

After some Googling, I learned that Word 2007 and onward created .docx files only, and that .doc files were made for Word 2003 and prior versions. Luckily, Word allowed the option of saving in .doc format, and I was able to upload my assignment on time.

But apparently not everything in the digital age is that simple.

My experience with MS Word touched on something called backwards compatibility. A growing concern in today’s digital world is the digital “Dark Age” where backwards compatibility is not always guaranteed.

Supposing that Word did not have the option of allowing me to save my file as a Word 2003 .doc file, then it would be attributed to the lack of backwards compatibility. Backwards compatibility is important because it enables us to access older versions of files with newer versions of software.

Vint Cerf, Google vice president, known as a “father of the Internet,” has recently voiced his worries of future generations having missing information of the 21st century due to a digital Dark Age caused by the lack of backwards compatibility.

More aspects of our lives become documented by bits of digital information.

However, the development of technology and lack of backwards compatibility risks the accessibility of such information.

To deal with this problem, Cerf proposes that we preserve pieces of software and hardware in digital form so they never become obsolete.

While the specifics of this

Nancy Wu is a senior in English literature.

proposal are still in the process of being worked out, the idea itself is highly appealing. Many believe that succeeding in actualizing Cerf’s proposal would mean being able to make our memories and our lives accessible for generations to come. Sounds awesome, right?

But like I said, not everything in the digital age is, or should be, that simple.

While technology works to improve our lives every day, to save time and make us more efficient, there is something discomforting about our lives being transformed into bits of information that can then be made accessible to future generations. It brings up the question about what it’s all worth.

While developments in technology, in many ways, serve as an important marker of the progress of our modern civilization, we should not be swayed to believe that they can serve as a marker of our lived experiences. One of the biggest problems we face is finding ourselves and individual value through the freedom that technology provides us.

While resolving the issues involving backwards compatibility will provide us with more of such freedoms, there are always further questions of what to do with it and the kind value it adds to our lives.

We often need to remind ourselves that not everything in the digital age is that simple, and if we’re not careful, our lives might get swallowed up by the digital dark age, regardless of the presence or absence of backwards compatibility. nywu@indiana.edu

MFA Art Show continues run at Grunwald

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

Creative expression is a crucial part of the lives of master’s students in the Henry Radford School of Fine Arts, says master of fine arts student Kaitlin Dodds.

“It provides an outlet where things, feelings and ideas can be worked out that can sometimes not be put into words,” Dodds said.

“It gives me a connection with a part of myself that I feel I can sometimes not connect to.”

The Grunwald Gallery will welcome master’s student artists like Dodds to share that part of themselves today, with an opening reception at 7 p.m. Friday.

Dodds said she believes the lack of a guiding theme will allow for many different perspectives.

“I imagine there will be a myriad of different concepts featured, from the realistic to the abstract, two-dimensional, three-dimensional and functional,” Dodds said.

As for her own piece, Dodds said she will be presenting what she calls the “turning point” of her own work.

“Previously, I had only been working with paint in an observational manner,” Dodds said. “Time in the studio has forced me to work outside of the box, since what I wanted to paint — the natural world, landscape, etcetera — was no longer readily available to me. So I started collaging compositions that I wanted to paint.”

Dodds said the theme of her piece is a perceived detachment from nature.

“The overall concept is our disconnect with our surroundings, to each other and with the natural world because of technological advances and because of the speed with which everyone lives life,” Dodds said. The concept also reaches into how people fill their lives with things that mirror the natural world almost as if they are replacements for what their predominantly indoor lives are lacking, she said.

The process of creating this work, Dodds said, took about a month. Hours were spent on Photoshop and many ink cartridges were used. She said she thought about audience perception throughout the process.

“I wanted to make sure that the piece was very pattern-driven, suggesting the patterns that we decorate our houses in are almost substitutes for the outdoors,” Dodds said. “I didn’t want the figure to have an identity so that the viewer could almost superimpose an identity onto the image.”

Madeline Winter, firstyear MFA candidate, said

this piece was a departure from her typical style, though not in terms of material used.

“Prior to this series, I considered myself an exclusively representational painter, however, I have always wanted to make a foray into abstraction,” Winter said. “I’m really working on embracing the freedom that abstraction provides while still incorporating some representational elements into my compositions.”

Winter said she had two main sources of inspiration for this particular piece.

“First is the idea of vacations and how we spend a lot of time anticipating them, building them up and using them as an escape from our normal surroundings,” Winter said. “The second thing I am interested in is the ease of consumerism. The installation was created using beach items that I acquired very cheaply with one-click purchasing from Amazon.”

Winter said she is excited to have the opportunity to show at a gallery as prestigious and often-visited as the Grunwald.

“It’s a wonderful experience to be able to have my work in a venue that has had many incredible shows and the fact that it will have a lot of people passing through is fantastic,” Winter said.

MFA painter Lindsay Hall said she worked on multiple projects at once to create the piece she chose titled “The Invader.”

“I like to work on more than one piece at a time and I like to work across mediums, as well, because it stimulates my thinking and I’ve found that the projects inform one another,” Hall said. “I painted ‘The Invader’ while working on numerous other paintings, sculptures, silkscreens and drawings.”

Hall said she reintroduced herself to oil painting after taking a break to try exploring some other artistic styles.

“I decided to go back to oil for this painting and the others in this series because up to that moment I felt that I had flushed out the inks and I wanted to create a new challenge,” Hall said. “It feels great to be using it again and problem solving through it.”

As far as what she is most looking forward to, Hall said sharing this experience with her fellow MFA students is at the top of the list.

“I know that everyone in every department works very hard, and I’m sure that it will be an exciting and inspiring show,” Hall said.

“In regards to my art, I’m looking forward to seeing it evolve and mature, and I’m excited to find out what directions it might take and the surprises that will happen along the way.”

AN EMMA DILEMMA

Two men. Two mustaches. One tattoo of a gummy bear riding bronco-style on a strawberry. This is Cherub.

The Nashville-based electro duo, made up of Jordan Kelley and Jason Huber, will perform at the Bluebird Nightclub tonight, along with tourmates Mystery Skulls and ForteBowie.

“Cherub stands out because they’re an energetic duo with a ton of personality,” said Justin Edwards, an event marketing intern for the Bluebird, in an email.

Cherub began making music in October 2010 and has already played on the stages of some of America’s most prominent music

festivals, including Bonnaroo in Nashville, Tenn., and Forecastle in Louisville, Ky. Bloomington is Cherub’s third-last stop on their winter tour as they perform 27 times in just 36 days at venues all across the country.

Edwards said the Bluebird chose to hire Cherub to play because of their rapid rise to popularity from music festival appearances.

“Many festival goers are college age, so a band like Cherub will hopefully be well-attended in a town like Bloomington,” Edwards said.

Cherub’s Facebook page describes their genre as “Electro, Pop, Funk, Dance, Indie.” Edwards described their musical style as “a delicious blend of ‘80s nostalgic synthesizers with R&B.”

BLOOMINGTON’S BEER AUTHORITY Weekend Specials

As for lyrical content, sex, alcohol and, most prominently, drugs remain the primary topics for Cherub’s music. They sing about living an ideal lifestyle of partying while also addressing heartbreak and a need to escape the real world.

In an interview with Radio.com, Kelley said, “Lyrics only come in my head when I’m drunk on an airplane.”

The pair also said they came up with their most downloaded song, “Doses and Mimosas,” while buying liquor in Gulf Shores, Ala. However, the group rarely speaks about the words in their songs during interviews and instead focuses on the technology they use to make it. In Spotify’s Exclusive Commentary album with Cherub,

CHERUB Tickets $15 9 p.m. tonight, the Bluebird Kelley and Huber commented most on their stylistic use of vocals and percussion.

One of Cherub’s tourmates, Mystery Skulls, has a similar style of making music.

Luis Dubuc, the artist behind Mystery Skulls, sings and DJs simultaneously.

He said he decided on this musical style because he had interests in both vocals and DJing and thought “it would be an interesting way to bridge the two.”

“The show is bound to be a blast,” Edwards said. “If I could recommend one Bluebird show to anyone this year, it would be this one for sure.”

A valuable lesson learned about big cities: buy yourself a pair of cheap shoes.

I, being the incredible packing genius that I am, brought running shoes and some boots and sandals, all of which have gotten dusty, creased or worn looking within the last four weeks. So I ran out to get a pair of 30-euro sneakers that I could beat up while here and it has been the greatest decision I’ve made here so far.

Another valuable lesson I learned here: always say yes to something, barring going home with that weird guy, even if it seems like you won’t

the Iberian Peninsula, which made cooking it an intimidating experience. It’s a combination of European and Arabic cooking and the chef who taught us had cooked it so many times that she followed no recipe and set no timers.

I’ve never truly considered how much food influences culture until I arrived in Spain. In America there is no true “American” dish, except maybe the hamburger.

Everything we have arrives from somewhere else and we are all used to eating a wide variety of food, in every category of food — seafood, pastry, sandwich, soup,

In Spain, if it doesn’t have a head, it’s not fresh.

We learned how to make a series of Spanish dishes, one of them of course being paella, Spain’s weird and delicious little brainchild of rice, seafood and vegetables.

It’s an old, old dish, dating back to Roman rule in

In Spain, there are traditional dishes the people who make them hold near and dear. It was an eye-opening glimpse into real Spanish culture to have a real Spaniard teach us how to make a centuries-old Spanish dish, as well as a glimpse into how food connects the people that eat it.

Just as most things on the Internet undergo quick changes, Alex Fowler jokingly changed Rex Brown’s name on the Vista Kid Cruiser SoundCloud page from Woodwalker to Cyber Jock. Relatively new in its current form, local electronic music group Vista Kid Cruiser changes at a rapid pace, switching up nicknames and sounds.

Vista Kid Cruiser is playing at the Bishop for the first time tonight. Fellow electronic musicians The Cardiff Giant and Lunamaticare are also set to perform. Nick Rivera will open the show with a DJ set.

Tyler Volkmar, whose nickname is Tyler Volk, said a lot of musicians in history have taken on personas for performances. He cited groups such as Animal Collective, who have members with names from Panda Bear to Geologist, and talked about the frequent name changes of David Bowie and Bob Dylan.

Fowler, who goes by Vista Kid in the group, said the names don’t change for any serious purpose.

The members of the group have changed largely since their beginning. Fowler said he started Vista Kid Cruiser as a solo project around 2011, but eventually decided he wanted to start collaborating with people. Volkmar started working with him in June 2014, and Brown joined just months ago in December.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — Don’t spend more than you can afford or finance a fantasy. Handle obligations and bills before treats.

Listen to your partner’s dream, and determine how to support it over time. By working together, you can grow resources.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 9 — Keep your promises with your partner, and dreams become possible. Do what you said, and then create new promises to realize shared goals. Organize your efforts. Together you can accomplish amazing things

Crossword

Fowler said he wanted to expand the project because he thought there were more creative possibilities that would be more attainable with other people.

“It’s really easy, at least for me, for ideas to get stale and I don’t know what to do with them,” he said, “Being able to bounce them off someone else really helps.”

Fowler said having three people instead of one improves the group’s live performances. Volkmar added that having multiple people in the live show brings up the energy level and makes it similar to seeing a rock band play.

“I think it’s the ability to be able to really work in both contexts,” he said, “We started playing during rock shows, and we’d be the only electronic group out of the whole night, for the most part. We found that that worked and even if it was a bit of a novelty, either way people would appreciate it.”

Volkmar said the group just started playing with other electronic musicians this semester. It’s fun, he said, but a different experience than the rock shows they’ve played.

In October 2014, Volkmar and Fowler released the album “Ali M and the NightClub” under the Vista Kid Cruiser name. The album’s description of traveling “through to the World of Vegetation” on the group’s Bandcamp profile hints at a concept behind the album, but Fowler said it’s a very loose one.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 9 — The work you do now and for the next month has long-lasting impact. Make bold declarations and realize them. Play bigger than you normally do. Expand your game. Provide exceptional value, and it comes back to you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — All that practice pays off.

The talents you’ve been honing shine in the spotlight. Long-term benefit is possible. A dream takes focus. Take on a big challenge and win. It’s getting exceptionally fun (and romantic) this month.

He also said Vista Kid Cruiser’s musical style changed as they made the album. While the first songs made were very ambient, the songs made toward the end had more of a dance sound, Volkmar said.

“We’re all constantly finding new music and new stuff that we want to try to emulate,” Brown said.

Currently, the group is working on what Fowler calls a “double EP,” two sets of about six songs that they plan to release together. The release should be ready in the spring. Fowler said each set is a good example of the two main ways they go about songwriting.

Vista Kid Cruiser’s songs “Heart” and “Soul,” released on their SoundCloud over the past couple of months, will serve as the focus for one of the sets. Fowler said these two songs were built up around some samples and loops they wanted to use. The other songs in this set will be remixes of the Vista Kid Cruiser songs made by musicians they reached out to.

The other set on the double EP will be centered on a song the group has yet to release called “Goodbye Sample City.”

In contrast to how “Heart” and “Soul” were made, Fowler said this song started more with original sounds.

New album misses the mark TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’ C+ Well, looks like Drake pulled a Beyoncé.

The rapper surprised the world with a mixtape Feb. 12 titled “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late,” along with a supplemental short film, “Jungle.”

Drake fans, myself included, have been waiting patiently for some new work — barring the occasional SoundCloud track — since his third studio album, “Nothing was the Same” was released in 2013.

Though it’s not “Views from the 6” — the official album we were promised — it’s something. And something, I guess, is better than nothing.

Before I diss this project, you deserve full disclosure: I am a “Drake stan.”

I mean it. I love Drake more than most things in my life. I went to his joint concert with Lil Wayne this summer and quite literally weeped when he performed “Marvin’s Room.”

I love this man. But that doesn’t preclude him from getting called on some weak moves.

I will admit I’m no hip hop head.

I’m just a girl who loves artists that get on a track and tear it up. Whether that means the feminist message of owning your sexuality and still being

the best in the game like Nicki Minaj or the hood diary entries of Kendrick Lamar, I believe in music that makes a statement, one way or another.

Drake isn’t making a statement on this mixtape.

He isn’t pushing the boundaries of the genre or entering new territories of his own artistry. If anything, “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” not only hearkens back to Drizzy’s earliest work but also follows the inexpensive trend of releasing music with little to no prior promotion.

Let me begin by saying, as a mixtape, it’s a solid piece of work. It builds off of the foundation laid by “Nothing Was the Same” as a sort of natural progression.

The sound, in true Drake form, has moments of pure vulnerability that give the tape the lift it so sorely would have needed otherwise. Tracks like “You and the 6” are reflective in a way that reminds listeners of his Grammy Award-winning “Take Care.”

The song takes us inside Drake’s troubled relationship with his father.

“Having conversations with Momma, we start talkin’‘bout Dad ... / He made mistakes throughout his life that he still doesn’t accept.”

The song also delves into his feelings of being an outsider in the industry he’s fighting to remain on top of. “I used to get teased for being black / And now I’m here and I’m not black enough / ‘Cause I’m not acting tough or making stories up ‘bout where I’m actually from.”

Though the track comes towards the end of the mixtape, it is a refreshing change of pace.

For the most part, though, this is 17 tracks of pure trash talk. Which, given the circumstances, I can’t say I blame him for.

What else is a mixtape for if not to reassert your street credit? Not to mention, amidst power struggles at Cash Money, the threat of Drizzy’s long-time mentor and friend Lil Wayne leaving the game, this is prime time for Drake to proclaim his dominance. And he pulls no punches.

Throughout “If You’re Reading This,” Drake makes sure other rappers who have reportedly come for him in recent months — Diddy, Kendrick and even Cash Money labelmate, Tyga — get the disses they deserved.

With that being said, there are a lot of fillers on this mixtape. There were plenty of moments where I was ready to hit a quick skip. There were songs that neither moved the momentum forward nor set it back. They’re not bangers, they’re not quotable, they just are.

Though it didn’t leave me wowed, overall, “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” sets the stage for an excitingly aggressive fourth studio album, one that reminds us why Drake is our favorite meme-worthy, listen-to-ona-Sunday-after-a-breakup, sweaterwearing, sensitive rapper.

‘SNL’ showcases shortcomings “Saturday Night Live” didn’t pull any punches during its 40th anniversary special.

If you missed this event, just imagine watching a TV show play the “stop hitting yourself” game with itself.

There were constant riffs on basically all of the quirks and shortcomings of the legendary program.

Louis C.K. said a bit about how the show’s recorded shorts are what people like best, and yet “SNL” still insists on being primarily live.

Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler starred in an excellent song looking back at the show’s long history of performers breaking character during sketches.

Jerry Seinfeld led a Q&A with the star-studded audience in which he explained to an indignant Michael Douglas that being asked to host numerous times is less an honor and more a sign that you just don’t have much going on.

During the Weekend Update segment featuring Jane Curtain, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Poehler announced the 40th anniversary special “won an Emmy in the first 10 minutes and then lost it somewhere in the middle.”

For the love of Lorne, “SNL” finished its In Memoriam with Jon Lovitz, who isn’t even dead.

» FIFTY SHADES

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 time they have sex.

Secondly, Christian is overly possessive and a stalker. He shows up at places to which he has not been invited, and I don’t mean just popping up unannounced at a restaurant.

He flies across the country to keep Ana in his sights.

Thirdly, there is a matter of child sexual assault that is never properly addressed in the film. Perhaps it is brought up in a future book, but where the movie sits right now, it

What all of this proves is that even with its decades of talented writers and cast members, it is the show’s acute sense of awareness and humility that is its biggest strength.

“SNL” will always be able to beat its critics to the punch and then turn it into a punch line.

This show has known exactly what it is for all 40 years and has found success in that comfort of self-awareness.

It has allowed the program to maintain a dedicated audience throughout its many bumps in the road.

“SNL” has garnered 40 Primetime Emmy awards and a record 175 Emmy nominations. The variety show has united viewers across generations and leaves the greats of pop culture lining up to get involved, as evident by all of the lovable celebrities and Kanye West making appearances at the anniversary special.

At the end of the day, “SNL” is a staple of TV history with incredible highlights just like any other quality show. It has delivered so many characters, quips and nuggets of cultural critique during its 40-year run and will probably continue to do so for as long as television still exists.

Party on, “SNL.” Griffin Leeds was grossly misused as an interesting subplot.

The only things going for “Fifty Shades” are the beautiful cinematography and a killer soundtrack. The storyline is a nightmare.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” is not a love story. It’s a horrific glamorization of an abusive relationship and a reminder that Hollywood producers care little about the effects their products have on an audience as long as their pockets are being lined.
