IU alumna Delaney Frye remembered as loyal friend By Lydia Gerike lgerike@iu.edu | @LydiaGerike

Delaney Frye, a May 2019 IU graduate remembered by loved ones as a passionate environmentalist, driven achiever and loyal friend, died Sept. 30. She was 23. Frye and her boyfriend Nicolas Hatfield, 23, were killed just before midnight in Indianapolis when a drunken driver collided with their car. Brock Frye, Frye’s brother and a junior at IU, said the couple was returning to their home in the Broad Ripple neighborhood after a night with her parents. Frye, who grew up in New Palestine, Indiana, was a graduate of the

O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs with a degree in law and public policy. She had minors in environmental science and international studies. Originally from Evansville, Hatfield met Frye about a year ago when they both lived in Bloomington. He worked as an accountant and had been taking classes toward a bachelor’s degree but was not an IU student. After completing her studies, Frye moved with Hatfield to Indianapolis. She worked at Roche Diagnostics, a health care company focused on research. Brock Frye said his sister interned as a park ranger in Colorado

before she graduated and wanted to eventually move out west and work in environmentalism. Brock Frye said he looked up to his sister as a guide for his life and college experience. She cared deeply about her friends, always sought out new experiences and spent time traveling, including study abroad trips in South Africa and Greece. “Everywhere she went, everything she did was out of love,” Brock Frye said. On Frye’s birthday, which was Aug. 27, Brock Frye sent a long text to tell her how much he looked up to her. He said she

The Indiana Coalition to End Sexual Assault has two important goals. They are to make sure victims of sexual assault or trafficking have the resources they need and to start changing the narrative of how sexual assault can be ended, Tracey Horth Krueger, chief executive officer of ICESA said. StepIn asks students to stop, think, engage and prevent. For about three years, the StepIn initiative has been implemented in different schools across Indiana. This year, IU is joining in on this step toward ending sexual violence. “It also sends a very, very powerful message to residents across the state when a campus like IU steps up and makes the decision to step in,” Krueger said. The mission of StepIn is to reach as many people as possible across Indiana. Kreuger said because of the IU campus size, more people can be reached, and she is very grateful for the partnership with IU. This initiative is not limited to IU. She said students and faculty who take part in StepIn can take what they learn outside of IU into the Bloomington community and wherever they reside when they’re not at IU. Kreuger said it is particularly important around this time of year: Homecoming. She said they really push prevention around particular times of the

It took 10 seconds for IU to put points on the scoreboard Saturday against Rutgers, the fastest scoring play in Memorial Stadium history. Rutgers made no attempt at the opening kickoff as it went through the back of the end zone for a touchback. On the first play from scrimmage, sophomore defensive lineman Demarcus Elliott forced a fumble and senior linebacker Reakwon Jones took it in for the scoop and score. “Coming in, first play of the game to get a takeaway and a score off of that, it’s just an amazing feeling,”

35-0 Elliott said. “Leadership on our defense is just phenomenal, it’s crazy. I haven’t been with a defense like this my whole football career.” The Hoosier offense proceeded to add passing touchdowns from redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr., on its first two drives. Less than eight minutes into the game, IU was out to a 21-0 lead. The Hoosiers held up defensively to maintain the early three-score lead, but the offense broke down

on their next six drives. To close out the half IU’s offense produced three punts, an interception, a lost fumble and a 94-yard drive that ended in a failed 4th and 1 attempt. The game lost its energy after IU’s early scoring spree, and Rutgers never seemed to get anything going on offense. Had the Hoosiers not made clutch stops on defense the few times the Scarlet Knights crossed midfield, the game could have been closer at halftime. “That's why I'm so stinking hoarse because I was yelling the whole time to stay focused and to finish,” IU head coach Tom Allen said. “I thought there was some good silent energy, even when there was

a lull after we got ahead. But to keep the pedal down is hard to do.” In need of points to put the game out of Rutgers’ reach, the IU offense strung together a pair of scoring drives – including a 13-play, 98-yard series that made it 35-0 – to open up the second half. Sophomore running back Stevie Scott and junior receiver Whop Philyor each came close to gaining 200 total yards on less than 30 combined touches. Philyor finished with 182 yards on 10 catches, his fourth career game with double-digit reception figures. No player in program history has

Homecoming royalty reflect on experiences By Mel Fronczek mfroncze@iu.edu | @MelissaFronczek

Haley Sample had been sitting in the stands with her mom and younger sister, and she joined the twelve other members of the homecoming court on the sidelines for the second quarter of the game. Susie Szymanski, who plays clarinet in the Marching Hundred, had just finished performing the band’s show, which featured songs such as “Living on a Prayer” and “I Was Made for Dancin’.” The two IU seniors were named homecoming royalty during halftime of Saturday’s Homecoming football game. The title came with a scepter and a sash. Sample, a marketing major from Jasper, Indiana, said she felt grateful to be named Homecoming royalty. “Having the honor of being recognized in front of literally a whole entire stadium is really cool,” she

said. She said being Homecoming royalty is away she can leave her mark on campus. Sample said at a freshmen ceremony at the Kel-

ley School of Business, the school’s dean spoke about the students creating a legacy for themselves at IU. Sample said she created her legacy through a club she and her

friend started: Royal Encounters. Members of the club dress up as princesses or superheroes and visit children at Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis. Sample said she dresses up as Cinderella when she visits the hospital with other club members. She remembers meeting a girl named Lindly, who was in a wheelchair and had trouble communicating. Sample sang “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” for her. “Afterward, she gave me such a big hug, and it was really special,” Sample said. Sample said she’s looking forward to taking in all the lasts of her college experience. “Last Homecoming, last home tailgate, last fall concert for Singing Hoosiers,” she said. Sample said she has no regrets about her time at IU so far, from
