Monroe County property taxes could increase

By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu

Property taxes might be on the rise in Monroe County, according to Monroe County auditor Steve Saulter.

Saulter said the county plans to file an excess levy appeal, essentially asking the state’s permission to temporarily raise property taxes.

The potential tax increase is caused by two separate issues, Saulter said.

One involves a 2012 assessment error of nonprofits. The other concerns the settlement Monroe County reached with the Fields, an apartment complex located on South Fenbrook Lane in Bloomington.

The settlement led to a $732,840 tax refund to the apartment complex.

“We obviously didn’t have the 700,000 (dollars),” Saulter said.

“We had to move money from the rainy day fund to cover that. I guess you could call it a shock since it sort of came out of left field.”

About seven years ago, the Fields appealed the assessment made by Monroe County assessor Judy Sharp, who assessed the value of property at $37 million.

The Fields apartment complex disagreed with Sharp’s evaluation and filed an appeal that eventually went to the state courts.

“It’s extremely high,” Saulter said. “The county will give refunds but nothing to the magnitude of 735,000 (dollars).”

This past winter, Monroe County decided on a settlement with the Fields apartment complex, which meant the county needed to pay more than $700,000 in back taxes.

Saulter said, in order to recoup lost revenue from the settlement, Monroe County needs to raise taxes.

First, though, it needs the permission of the state by applying for an excess levy appeal with the

Department of Local Government Finance, a state organization that oversees taxes made by counties, cities and townships or taxing units in Indiana.

Monroe County is seeking an excess levy appeal of $241,881, about $133,227 which was caused by the settlement with the Fields apartment complex.

The appeals are then reviewed by the DLGF, where they can either grant permission or deny permission to Monroe County to raise taxes.

Saulter explained that, in Monroe County, applying for excess levy appeals is not an annual occurrence.

“It’s not as common in the sense that you see this done year after year,” Saulter said.

The loss of revenue from the settlement with the Fields complex did not only cost Monroe County.

The loss also cost Bloomington, the Monroe County Community School Corporation and the Monroe County Public Library, all of which have applied or plan to apply for a separate excess levy appeal.

After years of an appeal battle in the state courts with the Fields apartment complex, Monroe County decided to settle.

“We finally said enough is enough, settled, cut our losses because we probably would still be out here waiting for an answer,” Sharp said.

Sharp said assessment appeals often take years to decide.

The county, in this case, settled with the Fields apartment complex in order to avoid potentially losing even more money in a court decision.

As of now, it is unclear how much the potential tax increase will affect Monroe County residents.

Saulter said if the county’s excess levy appeal were to be approved, property taxes in Monroe County would temporarily increase for 2015.

Performers with the University Gilbert and Sullivan Society practice for their opening performance this weekend. The students designed their own set, costumes and lighting for their opera production.

On their own Independent student-run opera opens this weekend

By Alison Graham akgraham@indiana.edu | @AlisonGraham218

An independent opera performance group has been working since May, beginning with auditions, for its first show of the year.

More than 40 students auditioned, and each one was offered a part in the opera.

Since that day more than four months ago, the University Gilbert and Sullivan Society has tirelessly rehearsed, built sets and perfected their vocal performance for their opening production this weekend.

The society formed early last year after graduate student Will Perkins decided the group would be a perfect fit for the IU campus.

Gilbert and Sullivan societies have sprung up on college campuses across the country. Each group is dedicated to performing operas written by W.S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan.

Gilbert and Sullivan created 14 comic operas during the Victorian era. Gilbert wrote the dialogue and plots and Sullivan composed the music.

Perkins originally talked to his friend Rachel Evans about starting a Gilbert and Sullivan society on IU’s campus.

“He had the idea that it would be fun to start something like that here,” Evans said. “He approached me and the two of us made this happen.”

Evans is a doctoral student in vocal performance and plays the role of the fairy queen in the group’s production of “Iolanthe.”

Inside look at ‘Iolanthe’ Check out a video preview of the show at idsnews.com The opera’s plot centers around the main character, Strephon, who is half-fairy and half-mortal.

Strephon is in love with Phyllis, who is being courted by all of the lords in Parliament. This pits the fairies against the lords for the entirety of the show, with Strephon and Phyllis stuck in the middle.

“We chose this because it’s a lesser-known Gilbert and Sullivan,” Evans said. “We thought it would give the most opportunities to students because of how many roles it has.”

The cast includes 11 different roles and a chorus. Evans said they decided to double cast the show, meaning each role has two separate actors to perform it. The cast of the show is comprised of a large sample of the IU music community.

Doctoral students work alongside freshmen in daily rehearsals, not only practicing their vocal performance but also working on set design, costumes and lighting.

IU, St. Louis face off tonight in battle of perennial powerhouses

aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

IU has won eight College Cups in its history. Only one other college soccer program, St. Louis, tops that number with 10.

The two will play in Bloomington 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

“They’re a storied program,” IU senior Patrick Doody said. “That’s what makes the rivalry and the game so great.”

IU leads the all-time series against St. Louis 20-9-4. The last time St. Louis beat IU was in 2007.

The last time they did it in Bloomington was in 1999.

This season both teams are representing their respective programs well. IU (5-1-3) is ranked No. 16 in the NSCAA poll while St. Louis (71) is ranked No. 8.

IU students used to taking Jordan Avenue might want to find a new route to class.

Jordan Avenue construction is expected to begin this week or next and is expected to wrap up by the end of the year, said Mia Williams, University landscape architect.

Upon completion, Jordan Avenue will boast six new crosswalks and a median, stretching from Third Street to the Musical Arts Center, Williams said.

Six new crosswalks will be added, including one near the southern end of Simon Music Center, two near Jones Avenue and two near East University Road, Williams said.

The crosswalk at the intersection of Jordan Avenue and Third Street will also be replaced and upgraded.

Jordan Avenue will still boast a travel and bike lane running in each direction as well as a bus pull-off lane at the bus stop near the southern end of the Musical Arts Center, Williams said.

She said construction on the west side will be completed before construction on the east side begins.

One travel lane running north and one travel lane running south will be open throughout the entire project due to these construction stages, she added. Traffic, however, may be backed up.

“It’s a major north-to-south emergency vehicle access way, so there’s no way that we can close the street completely during construction,” she said. “So we will be building it in phases.”

Students Elizabeth Spenningsby, Neeli Southwick, Brianna Guennel and Meghna Patta learn about the Department of International Studies at the Navigating Your IU Experience: Explore Majors and More Fair. The fair was a chance for students to learn from acamedic advisors, faculty and students from departments across campus.

Majors fair shows students options

By Anna Hyzy akhyzy@indiana.edu | @annakhyzy

Meghna Patta was looking for a minor, maybe a neuroscience certificate or human biology, something that would help her in her career.

All of IU’s academic units came together Tuesday in Alumni Hall in the Indiana Memorial Union for the “Navigating Your IU Experience: Explore Majors and More Fair” organized by College of Arts and Sciences Career Services.

Patta, a freshman biology major, came to the fair for information and said she came away with what she needed to know.

“I think I’m definitely going to do a neuroscience certificate,” she said.

Justin Zuschlag, associate director of career services, estimated that the fair’s attendance had doubled from last year.

Zuschlag said last year’s fair had been the day after a snowstorm, which likely affected the fair’s attendance.

“In a perfect world, we’d have thousands of students,” he said.

Zuschlag said the attendees at the event are most often younger students but that career services had changed the name of the event from “Explore Majors and More” to include “Navigating Your IU Experience” in an effort to attract more older students.

“They can enhance their degree,” he said.

Zuschlag said the fair can be beneficial to older students as it welcomes many community organizations and offers information about minors and certificates.

Zuschlag pointed out that University Information and Technology Services was in attendance at the fair with information on various technology certifications, such as desktop publication.

The event’s planning

began a few months prior and involved career services, University Division and the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, Zuschlag said.

Freshman Brianna Guennel said she came to the fair to look into the international studies program.

The international studies program is in the School of Global and International Studies.

Guennel has not yet declared a major and is currently in the exploratory program.

“Talking to the people who were over in the international studies area made me realize it’s probably something I really wanna do,” she said.

Both Guennel and Patta said they heard about the event through email.

Susan Sandberg, a career adviser in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, stood behind a

table covered in a SPEA table cloth at the fair.

“We’ve had quite a few students sign up,” she said, pointing to a list of students’ names and emails on the table.

Sandberg said she hopes the fair helps students make the right choice when deciding on a program. She highlighted that the fair gave students an opportunity to compare programs side by side.

She said her role in SPEA is preparing students for the real world.

“We get them the skills they need to do something with their degrees once they graduate,” she said.

Sandberg said the majority of questions from students were academic questions so she directed them to the other half of SPEA’s table.

“SPEA is an interesting degree in that there’s a lot of moving parts to it,” she said.

Sandberg said she thinks

SPEA prepares students for jobs in all three sectors: public, private and nonprofit.

Zuschlag said career services often talks with students who tell them they weren’t aware of an opportunity on campus and that the fair serves as a place for them to learn about opportunities.

“It’s great for students that are questioning their major and career,” he said.

Zuschlag said career services is always looking to share resources with students and that if he were a student, he would have attended the fair.

“Sometimes students don’t know all of the options they have,” he said.

He said he was happy with the attendance this year but that career services is always looking to improve numbers.

“I saw a lot of students leaving with their hands full of information,” he said.

McRobbie meets with Turkish president From IDS reports

IU President Michael McRobbie is back in Hoosier Nation after the first trip to Turkey by a sitting president in almost 60 years.

Saturday, McRobbie wound down his trip by meeting Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s recently elected president.

Two of the president’s three children, daughters Esra and Sümeyye, were also present, according to an IU release.

All three of Erdogan’s children graduated from IU. Esra, one of his daughters,

and his son Bilal Erdogan both possess bachelor’s degrees from the IU College of Arts and Sciences. Sümeyye, the president’s second daughter graduated with a degree from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, according to the University.

“Few U.S. institutions of higher education have been as historically active and engaged in Turkey as Indiana University,” McRobbie said in the release. “For more than 70 years, IU has been one of the nation’s premier destinations for the study of Turkish and Turkic

languages and the history and culture of this dynamic nation that, with its strategic location connecting several regions of the world, will continue to play a vital role in international affairs.”

McRobbie also hosted a reception for IU Turkish alumni, according to the University.

During the event, he presented the Thomas Hart Benton Medallion to alumnus Erdal Yildirim.

The medallion is given to those who have stood out in public office or service.

Yildirim is the general manager of the Vehbi Koc

Foundation, one of Turkey’s largest charitable organizations that isn’t associated with the government.

“Our meetings in Istanbul and in Ankara have been extremely productive, positioning us to substantially enhance our already strong presence in Turkey, identify promising new exchange opportunities for our students and faculty to study, teach and conduct research overseas, and reconnect with our many successful Turkish alumni,” McRobbie said.

A change in population has inspired a shift in structure for the IU chapter of Independent Council.

The Independent Council, which is an alternative to greek life for women, has grown from 70 to 112 members in just one semester, Independent Council CoPresident Anna Chapman said.

The Independent Council has formally changed its name to Independent Council for Women, maintaining its core values associated with women empowerment, Chapman said.

“We really want to empower independent women on campus and not be considered GDI’s,” Chapman said. “We don’t want to be anti-greek or against greek, this is just what we chose. This is our lifestyle, and this is an organization for us to be a part of.”

The council has also created a constitution with new guidelines for the organization.

These guidelines include a mandatory attendance policy at weekly meetings, a 2.0 GPA requirement and rules against hazing, Independent Council Co-President Heather Mielke said.

These new requirements also align with IC’s five core values: friendship, service, leadership, community and acceptance.

The IC leadership council added two faculty advisers this year and split the role of president into two positions.

Independent Council also offers leadership opportunities as executive board members and committee heads.

The eight committees focus on involving independents with other campus organizations, Mielke said.

The IC leadership council tries to implement IU traditions as well as its core values to fulfill the IC motto, “Be Who You Want to Be With IC.” “We’re just trying to provide a venue, especially for new students, like freshmen and sophomores, who may not know all of the opportunities that the IU and Bloomington community have,” Mielke said.

Specifically, IC focuses on participating in larger IU events such as IU Dance Marathon, Little 50, Little 500 and other events that are often dominated by greek members, Mielke said.

“The greek community is an awesome community, but they are such a big powerhouse that people sometimes don’t realize the independent community,” Chapman said. “One of our missions is to get the independent community involved in more things on campus.”

Independent Council serves as an alternative to greek life for many women

on campus, Independent Council Adviser Cassidy Sansone said.

“For a lot of women, greek life is not an option for many different reasons,” Sansone said. “IC is a really great alternative to greek life because you still get the sisterhood, you still get the leadership opportunity, but it just looks a little bit different.”

Independent Council is only five years old and has no national ties or mandates.

This makes it more flexible and less costly than greek life, Mielke said.

Independent Council is structured as a democracy.

All of the organization’s decisions are voted on by members and carried out through committee leaders and members.

This year, Mielke and Chapman are looking to legitimize the group with longstanding precedents, as outlined in their constitution, Mielke said.

The Independent Council website received a makeover from the IC public relations committee, Mielke said.

The site now features calendar updates, membership applications and a brief presentation explaining what the new constitution is.

“It’s just a nice way to present ourselves,” Mielke said. “IC is hard to describe to people because it’s so broad so it provides them with something to look at and something to read about what we actually do.”

With roughly 40 new members, IC is focused on creating bonds between members. On Monday, all 112 members attended a family reveal in the IMU, Chapman said.

The council was divided into 10 groups with traditional IU names including, Wells, Showalter, Dunn and Kirkwood.

The families included 10 to 12 girls that are placed together based on their respective interests and to what extent they wish to be involved in IC socially, philanthropically or through leadership.

The families will be required to meet at least once a month, Mielke said.

Independent Council has also created an IC bucket list that contains 50 to 60 IU traditions and ICinspired activities that the girls can do to together as a family.

This year’s changes were made in an effort of forward-thinking. Independent Council plans to continue growing and become a household name on campus through involvement, Sansone said.

“What I would love to see is them contributing to the empowerment of women on campus,” Sansone said. “One voice or one organization’s voice is strong and can mean a lot, but a whole community coming together can mean even more.”

Farm Festival teaches children

By Holly Hays hvhays@indiana.edu | @hollyvhays

Sitting by the barn, chatting with the volunteers as they sip their coffee and snack on donuts was what Joe Peden described as one of the most peaceful parts of his day.

Peden, whose farm is home to the Children’s Farm Festival each year, said sitting in the silence with the volunteers is one of the “happy” times.

Then comes the exciting time.

Gradually, big, yellow school buses line up for a quarter mile down the road to unload thousands of people onto his farm.

The Children’s Farm Festival is an annual event that allows local children in preschool through third grade to get a hands-on farm experience.

Children could cuddle baby ducks, chickens and rabbits and visit about 100 stops throughout the farm to learn about topics ranging from energy sources to butter churning.

The farm has been in Monroe County for decades but has been in the Peden family since 1941. Throughout the years, the family has raised corn, soybeans, pigs and beef cattle.

Peden said the Children’s Farm Festival began back in the early 1950s, when his parents hosted a few area schools at their farm on Ma-

ple Grove Road. From there, the event expanded.

Now the Monroe County 4-H Extension Office handles the reservations, covering the average of 2,000 visitors that pass through the farm during the two-day event.

Tuesday’s crowd, which enjoyed 1,800 to 2,000 bags of fresh popcorn, was just the tip of the iceberg, Peden said.

“We usually expect three times the people on Wednesday as we do on Tuesday,” he added. “We use about a 20acre field that we park full of cars.”

Approximately 280 volunteers, including 40 Monroe County 4-H junior leaders and 40 members of Future Farmers of America, from Monroe and neighboring counties participated in the event, parking cars, introducing the children to animals and leading the 14 hayrides.

Volunteers started working at 6:30 a.m., popping about 150 pounds of popcorn and readying the farm for the groups of children that Peden said startled neighboring farms throughout the afternoon.

“We like to see the kids having a great time, and it’s an educational experience that we try to provide,” he said. “To see them just happy and yelling and the light in their eyes and their voices as they go to various stations, well, you can just stand and

watch them and watch how happy they are.”

Peden said one of the best things about having had visitors on his farm throughout the years is when parents who visited the farm as children bring their own kid back.

“It makes you feel like you made a difference,” he said.

In a time when the number of farms is decreasing, Peden gives local children who would otherwise not have a farm experience the chance to see what it’s all about.

“Where would you go touch and feel the fur of a rabbit or the down of a duck or the feathers of a chicken?” he asked. “Where are you going to taste butter that’s just been hand-churned? When are you going to be able to compare bantam eggs and ostrich eggs in size and weight?”

Their day at the farm encompasses more than a visit to the zoo or even the county fair, Peden said. Providing children the chance to cut stone with a stone cutter or wear a hard hat allows them to experience new things first-hand.

“Those things there, as you go down the line, you’re going to be able to touch and feel everything there,” he said.

Though he said Tuesday’s events left him in need of nap, Peden will rise Wednesday to host countless other students, parents and teachers that come to explore his family farm.

Despite enjoying the quiet times, Peden said he loves the louder times and seeing the excited faces of those surrounding him.

“It’s just a great big playground of happiness for the kids,” he said.

October is Adopt-a-Dog Month at the Bloomington Animal Shelter. The Shelter is making this year’s events a flashy affair with the theme “Woofstock.”

Dog adoption fees, which are usually between $55 and $75, are reduced to $40 per dog throughout October.

Dogs are generally priced depending on their age.

Canines more than five years old costing $55 and younger dogs coming in at $75.

According to a release from the shelter, all dogs will be vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm-tested and spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

New owners who adopt during the month of October will also receive a complementary leash, new toy or dog coat “to take home for their new best friend,” the release reads.

The Bloomington Animal Care and Control’s Facebook page dictates that its mission is to “address and respond to all animal needs in the community through education, enforcement and support in order to build a community where animals are valued and treated with kind-

ness and respect.”

The group’s Facebook banner advertises “Woofstock” with the slogan “Peace, love and dogs” next to a Yorkshire terrier wearing a flowered headband and tinted purple glasses.

Adoptable animals are available for visits from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at the animal shelter, which is located at 3410 S. Walnut St. In addition to these visiting hours, interested adopters can check out any of several events planned for the month, all of which adoptable dogs will be making appearances.

MIND THE GAP

There’s something about the cookies

Lessons to learn CASEY FARRINGTON is a senior in political science.

Only one in four American millennials is “definitely” planning on voting this year, according to a Harvard University Institute of Politics poll.

It seems our turnout rate is dependent on “if we feel like it” or “remember” come Nov. 4.

It’s just voting. It doesn’t matter. Nothing to get excited about.

Tell that to the Umbrella Revolutionaries in Hong Kong, who spent last weekend in a fog of pepper spray and tear gas demonstrating in favor of universal suffrage.

When the United Kingdom returned Hong Kong to mainland China in 1997, the Chinese government promised that Hong Kong citizens would be able to democratically elect their chief executive in 20 years. This promise was reaffirmed in 2007.

But as 2017 approaches, Beijing has become nervous and put its own twist on the meaning of “democratic elections,” mandating that all candidates had to be approved by a special committee — a special pro-Beijing committee.

Citizens have the right to vote for any pro-party line candidate they like.

Protestors began marching against this decision Wednesday. Peaceful protests were soon met with a heavily armed police force, which proceeded to blanket occupied areas in tear gas.

By Monday, the protests had still rendered major thoroughfares impassable, as organizers hope to hold out until today, China’s National Day, which celebrates the establishment of communist China.

For the Hong Kong millennials who spearheaded this movement, voting is much more than an easily forgotten diversion. In the 25 years after the Tiananmen Square massacre, it’s still been a matter of life and death.

Some of us might think the American system isn’t much better than what those in Hong Kong are fighting. Two parties determine who gets to be on the ballot. We have the honor of choosing the least-worst option.

The seven Libertarians running for congress in Indiana would be disappointed to hear that. Not to mention past Green Party, Socialist Party and Independent candidates.

You can always write someone in.

Voting “other” this election isn’t pointless.

Ten percent of millennials voting Libertarian this election won’t put any Libertarians in office, but it would catch politicians’ attention. It’s a lot easier to guess the motivations of a third-party voter than someone who doesn’t vote at all.

Maybe your representative will take up one of your pet causes now that they know it has enough support to dictate voting behavior. Maybe other voters will be encouraged to vote for thirdparty candidates in the next election, encouraging further change within the more-established parties.

Staying home to eat Cheetos and watch Netflix is a mockery of political protest. No one knows what you want or how to give it to you or why they should even bother.

Follow our fellow students in Hong Kong; on Nov. 4, stand up and be counted. casefarr@indiana.edu

Game of porcelain thrones WE SAY: There must be compromise in the bathroom A great children’s book once said, “Everyone Poops.” Unfortunately, not everyone has a place they feel comfortable pooping.

An IU Student Association resolution passed this past week hopes to change that by urging the Residence Hall Association to put gender-neutral bathrooms on all singlegender floors that already have two bathrooms. One bathroom would become “gender-neutral,” while the other would remain exclusively male or female.

The resolution was written by Indiana Daily Student columnist, representative and RHA Director of Social Advocacy Andrew Guenther.

Finally, everyone might be able to poop in peace, a cause the IDS Editorial Board can get behind.

We assume this would mostly involve a change in signage.

Former men’s restrooms might have to lose urinals in favor of toilets and stalls, which represents an overall minor and relatively inexpensive change. At no charge, we could keep them as friendly reminders of how far we’ve come.

It’s a small price to pay to be better-accommodating and considerate of everyone who might find themselves on a single-gender floor.

“Single-gender” is a little

misleading, because floors are generally divided by the legal sex one is assigned at birth. Gender is different, usually thought of as how you identify yourself.

Some students might legally be men, but identify as women, or vice versa. Some students might not identify within the gender binary or with any gender.

Some students might not have strictly male or female genitalia.

Some students might have regular visitors who fall into this gray area who don’t feel particularly comfortable using “male” or “female” bathrooms.

It’s hard to know exactly how many transgendered or nonbinary students attend IU, because no data is regularly kept on these populations. For this reason, it’s difficult to discern how well these students are treated on campus or if their needs are being met.

With many single-gender floors devoid of gender-neutral bathrooms, we’d hazard to guess that some very basic needs are not being met.

Remember how embarrassing it was when the United States Senate finally expanded its women’s bathroom?

And that was just because an

oversight in Capitol construction that occurred simply because no one expected women to be there in the first place.

IU can avoid that embarrassment — and enroll more trans and nonbinary students — by acknowledging all different types of people exist and sometimes have to use these facilities.

But transgender students and those outside the binary aren’t the only ones who would benefit from the change. Gender-neutral bathrooms, better known as just “bathrooms,” are a place anyone can go when they have to go.

When a female student’s male guest visits, she no longer has to escort him to the men’s bathroom the floor above or below.

When a male student’s mom comes to take him to dinner, he doesn’t have to parade her around the women’s floor. The genderneutral bathroom accommodates moms just fine.

Changing one all-male or all-female bathroom into just a bathroom doesn’t take anything away from anyone. It makes the toilet more accessible to everyone.

This is a beautiful thing.

Almost as beautiful as the fact that everyone poops.

AN EMMA DILEMMA

Recycling needs to expand beyond campus My fellow Indiana Daily Student columnist Natalie Rowthorn wrote last week about the need for easy access to recycling, or at least more awareness of the need to recycle, on campus.

Her point was more than great and accurate, and I agreed wholeheartedly with her argument. However, I feel that the call to recycle and be environmentally aware goes beyond just IU students and campus.

I live on the south side of Bloomington, a 20-minute walk from campus.

My complex has no recycling bins anywhere.

All of last year my roommates and I threw out bags upon bags of plastic, glass and paper, faced with no

other option.

Each time I felt a little twinge of guilt, but I had no car and could not drive to the nearest recycling center.

It wasn’t until my roommate mentioned that she had seen the complex next to us had recycling that we could finally do it. Even so, it’s still a bit of a walk, and it was after a year of dumpster dumping.

As I made my way toward campus, I went to grab a quick bite to eat at a fast-food restaurant nearby.

I ordered. The server messed up my order. Normal stuff, but then I watched him dump my food, a big pile of meat and bread, into the garbage.

I understand the need to be sanitary, but I found it

hard to believe that the restaurant had no food disposals that could take care of my messed-up order more efficiently and in a more environmentally friendly way.

Campus is a massive space that needs to recycle.

But so is Bloomington.

There is no reason apartment complexes should be unable to provide recycling.

As other columnists have mentioned and discussed before, rent in Bloomington is high.

With rent anywhere from $300 to $500 or more, complexes and landlords should be able to pay recycling fees, much as they provide garbage services.

Just the other day I watched my neighbor throw away two big cardboard

boxes from moving. They were still intact. Right into the dumpster they went to be dumped into a landfill, because he had no other option.

Bloomington, I’m sure, is not the only city in Indiana that slacks off when it comes to recycling.

But it is unacceptable that a fixable problem should remain unsolved.

We have recycling centers in Bloomington. We need to use them. ewenning@indiana.edu

Back in my day, when parents brought treats to class they were usually cupcakes with confetti sprinkles.

We certainly never got a tray of assorted vagina cookies. But, hey, times have changed.

A second-grade teacher was reportedly presented with a tray of vagina cookies to give her students on Sept. 12.

A mom brought a tray of vagina cookies to class and said, according to BuzzFeed, “I decided you can use these to teach the kids about the woman’s vagina today.”

When the teacher said it wasn’t appropriate, the mom allegedly went on a verbal rampage, telling the teacher she should be more proud of her vagina.

And she said the word “vagina” a lot.

So much so that the teacher received a phone call later in the day from a parent wondering why their child learned the word “vagina” in class.

Then the teacher received an email from the vagina-cookie mother, according to BuzzFeed. In the email, the mother berated the teacher for being closeminded. She told the teacher she settled into a career known to be a “women’s job” and withdrew her child from class.

As the sprinkles on top, she ends the email with, “I hope you end up with an abusive husband that beats on you every night.”

It’s easy to look at what this mother did and label it radical feminism. But after reading the account and the email several times, I’ve decided this was not feminism. This was pure insanity.

Domestic violence isn’t a joke. It’s not something you wish on someone for not wanting to serve children your vagina cookies.

The teacher did not express any behavior that merited such a hostile response. Considering the awkward position she was in, I felt she handled it well.

She wasn’t being antifeminism. I’m sure that had another parent brought in phallic-shaped lollipops the teacher would have refused to serve them as well.

She simply didn’t feel it was right to give her second-graders vagina cookies, and she was right in her decision.

In the email the mother said, “We as women should stand together and inform people about the vagina and how to please it.”

“Vagina” is not a dirty word. We should not be ashamed or embarrassed by it. But these kids are 8 years old. They have a long while before they need to know how to please a vagina.

If sex education in schools isn’t up to her standards, then she can educate her child at home. A second-grade classroom is not the place to fix the system.

And it’s certainly not the place to bring vagina pastries.

This mother’s behavior was ridiculous and selfish.

This was an example of trying to force personal beliefs onto others in a completely inappropriate way.

Her treatment of the teacher was uncalled for.

Saying she acted with the maturity of a second-grader would be an insult to second-graders. lnbanks@indiana.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

New bathroom policy is an IUSA overreach Don’t get me wrong. I support providing an environment in the residence halls that welcomes all students. Gender-neutral bathrooms are one way to further this.

I will absolutely back such a proposal.

However, the actions of the IU Student Association Congress in regards to gender-neutral bathrooms are a stunt, at best.

On Monday, IUSA voted to implement gender-neutral bathrooms on single gender residence hall floors.

Great, right? Not quite.

IUSA has no role in dictating how RPS facilities operate — it’s the job of the Residence Hall Association to pressure RPS administrators to do so. It’s as simple as that. If the Congress respected the governing student body in the residence halls they would bring the

issue to RHA FIRST. Moreover, think with me for a minute here — gender-selective floors having gender-neutral bathrooms.

Wait, what? Individuals were FORCED to choose a gender for their housing, but we want to limit these neutral opportunities to a brief period of daily bathroom use.

It seems to me that IUSA has become more concerned with headlines than helping build a better campus.

But if this lunacy wasn’t enough, IUSA has no capacity to enforce this policy. This is, in fact, well beyond their reach.

Last, this does not take into account the great diversity of capacity among different residence centers both physically and financially.

So, in summary, they wasted their time and our money to pass a bill

which doesn’t address the real issues at hand to press a policy without RHA’s initial consent to go about a program which they have no ability to enforce or see to action.

Weird, right?

Maybe it’s just me, or maybe IUSA hasn’t changed one bit. Short-sighted and ineffective.

Students deserve better.

Want to really fix the issue?

Work with RHA on long-term planning to provide gender neutral opportunities throughout the residential experience.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Response to ‘Jesus take the wheel’ In something that we have come to expect from Riley Zipper, he has written an extremely flippant article rife with non sequiturs.

Mr. Zipper alleges in his article, “Jesus take the wheel,” (published Sept.

17) that a Pennsylvania youth should not be charged with a misdemeanor under a 1972 statute forbidding “the desecration, theft or sale of a venerated object.” The act in question was him simulating oral sex with a statue of Jesus on private property.

Consequently, Mr. Zipper’s argument is that the Pennsylvania law in question is unconstitutional under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

This argument is tantamount to saying that the defacing and lewd treatment of religious iconography placed by private individuals outside their homes is perfectly kosher.

Mr. Zipper continues to base his argument on the conjecture that this would not have provoked outrage if the same was done to a statue of Muhammad or Buddha. Given the widespread condemnation of the Qu’ran burnings in 2011, I doubt this scenario would ever happen exactly as he describes.

When considering the First Amendment, as with any Constitutional issue, we must try to understand the context

in which it is written. With the United States at the time of the Constitution’s drafting a hodgepodge of adversarial Christian denominations, the Founders sought to quell the religious issue once and for all for a more stable society.

Thus, “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion,” followed by what is colloquially known as the Free Exercise Clause, “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

In this instance, we fail to see how this statute violates the Establishment Clause and, in fact, is perfectly valid under the Free Exercise Clause.

The case in question is not Pennsylvania putting up the statue as an endorsement of Christianity. We believe that this statue is within its bounds because it allows for the free exercise of religion, protecting those who do so from mob rule and snap judgments of the majority.

Perhaps the most befuddling argument of all is Mr. Zipper’s dicta in the rest of the article where he assumes the authority of the new Pope where he decrees that iconography or those items defined as “venerated objects” are technically heresy, heedless of the context of the law.

As he so eloquently phrases it, “Treating a statue as a venerated

object is idolizing the statue itself.” Irrespective of the accuracy of Mr. Zipper’s theological musings, that is not the point of the statute.

The Pennsylvania law referenced used the term “venerated object” in order to maintain impartiality to protect all religions equally.

Even within the broad umbrella of Christianity, we hold different views on religious symbols.

In that vein, we hold that items such as Qu’rans, Buddhist shrines or nativity scenes are safely within the realm of “venerated objects” — objects to be respected. Mr. Zipper, however, conflates a very narrow reading of this definition with his own agenda, simply assuming that “venerated objects” are the exclusive domain of Christian iconography and extrapolating that simple semantics represent hypocrisy of the highest order from lawmakers and religious figures.

In sum, we are not surprised that his sentiments are currently in vogue amongst the intelligentsia on campus. We live in a citadel of supposed enlightenment, away from those who “(bitterly) cling to guns and religion” to quote then-Sen. Obama.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Lynching young black boys without ropes and trees Recently in Chicago, a city where only 9 percent of 8th-grade Black boys read proficiently and where thousands of Black boys have been killed and maimed over the past few years, the MacArthur Foundation passed out “Genius Awards” to people who were musicians, authors, scientists and poets. In their way, the MacArthur Awards congratulate and reward people who are not working to educate and save the lives of Black boys. Essentially, they are saying, that in this American city, the one they call home, educating and making young Black men productive citizens is not valued.

The MacArthur Foundation speaks for America. America has a reputation for helping people all over the world.

We have soldiers stationed in dozens of countries and we invest hundreds of billions of dollars in countries worldwide. But in the streets of most American large cities, police shoot down young Black men with alarming regularity (about one every 28 hours); tens of thousands of young Black men die every year in an undeclared “ghetto war”; hundreds of thousands of young Black men are annually ushered into the prison system of America; and mil-

lions of young Black men and boys are under-educated and mis-educated in American schools. These realities constitute a sophisticated, 21st -century form of lynching young Black men and boys.

Such genocidal treatment of any population should gain international attention including sanctions by the United Nations and massive national and international petition drives led by human rights groups. But because these are young Black men and boys in America, little is said or done to change this horror. And Black America, by its inaction, remains complicit in these horrendous outcomes for young Black men and boys! Most Black church and business leaders, educators, and elected officials are silent as this gargantuan-scale human tragedy continues unabated.

American schools are systematically slaughtering the minds and spirits Black boys. Chicago is not alone with only 9% of 8th-grade Black boys reading proficiently. Louisville, Atlanta, Houston, Austin, Philadelphia and Los Angeles share Chicago’s ignominy with 9 percent of 8th-grade Black boys reading proficiently. Unbelievably, some cities are worse including Baltimore,

Dallas and San Diego, 7 percent; Washington D.C., 6 percent, Detroit, 5 percent, and Milwaukee and Cleveland, 3 percent. In America, only 10 percent of 8th-grade Black boys read proficiently.

This failure to educate Black men and boys is America’s unspoken shame.

Nearly 150 years since slavery ended in America, Black America must accept the reality that no help is coming to transform the plight of young Black men and boys! If our young men are to be saved, it will be because the Black community saves them.

If our young men are taught to read, it will be because we teach them to read.

If our Black boys develop into strong, positive, productive, globally competent Black men, it will be because Black America makes it happen. And we should expect no help from foundations like MacArthur.

Until the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, Black men and boys were lynched in America with ropes and trees. Now they are lynched with schools and prisons, but the results are still the same.

OUR CHANGED WORLD

The irony of Bloomingfood’s unionization A fight brews between oppressive management and underpaid workers.

Negotiations have reached a critical point.

We could be talking about the historical enmity between the United Auto Workers and state governments or the teeth-grindingly difficult issue of state employee unions, most notably when Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s reforms drew an immediate backlash.

But no. We are talking about Bloomingfoods.

Bloomingfoods, everyone’s favorite co-op purveyor of gluten-free, fair trade and organic foodstuffs, is under fire from its employees for allegedly not taking care of its workers.

This is the kind of charge one would expect to see against corporate titans such as Wal-Mart or McDonald’s.

These workers are attempting to organize under United Food and Commercial Workers Local 700, which is based out of Indianapolis.

In response, Bloomingfoods administrators have contacted an anti-union consultant.

This move makes it painfully clear to the union that Bloomingfoods is “going to run a destructive campaign, especially when you consider that co-ops have a particular stance on social equality,” as stated by Patrick Barrett, the organizing director of UFCW Local 700.

As a conservative, one might expect I would be rubbing my hands in glee at the prospect of such a beloved company here in the liberal citadel of Monroe County resorting to such underhanded tactics. And you would be right.

But another part of me wants to shake my head and bemoan the state for

the lack of trust between workers and administrators in even the most socially responsible of companies.

One does not need to be Volkswagen to know the costs of unionizing workers, and the downfall and struggling infancy of the new General Motors, Ford and Chrysler speaks volumes to the danger of letting unions run amok.

There was indeed a time when the power of labor prices was almost exclusively with that of the firm, and collective bargaining certainly helped offset the inordinate power industry moguls had over unskilled labor.

But these institutions have increasingly become irrelevant as the United States’ workforce has expanded, modernized, mechanized and intellectualized.

The days of primarily unskilled manufacturing have long since been sent to places with a much more competitive, or lower, minimum wage.

Now unions are in a fight to justify their existence and seek to gobble up what remains of those inclined to sympathize with them.

We might never know exactly why these workers sought collective bargaining, as their list of grievances includes amorphous items such as “failing to address workers’ concerns,” and “lacking consistent policy.”

But the owners of this co-op are still, at heart, a business and seek to protect their interests as well as those who seek to eat responsibly. mjsu@indiana.edu

MICHAEL’S MARGIN

Party until the end of time If you arrive in Bloomington on any given Saturday, you will be welcomed by streets of broken glass, smashed Styrofoam and discarded plastics. The students have been partying, and they haven’t cleaned up after themselves.

Because in Bloomington, accountability for the environment is reserved for the dead and the elderly.

Yes, spend a few hours in the city, and Bloomington’s rancid charm will eventually find you.

Fortunately for such a responsible community, our town, along with the rest of the world, can soon litter non-stop without any fear!

Proactive researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering have developed a response to less-than biodegradable plastics.

Chitosan, one of the more abundant organic materials on the planet derived from shrimp shells, combined with a protein found in silk produces the cleverly named shrilk.

The new bioplastic is durable, biodegradable and can even be utilized in traditional casting or injection-molding, which means it can be mass-produced.

This is excellent news for crustaceans, who might soon join the other 50 percent of animal wildlife wiped off the Earth in the past 40 years, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

Together, we can massproduce shrimp out of existence. But we may not have to.

As it so happens, a quarter of all carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere gets absorbed back into the ocean, so says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association.

Functioning ecosystems are so 20th century.

There’s a concept called

MICHAEL HOMAN is a senior in journalism.

optimism bias, which is also known as “it won’t happen to me” syndrome.

As if none of us could possibly have any influence on such a vast world.

The party culture in this town wouldn’t be so problematic if being reckless and wasteful weren’t so celebrated.

At the very least, people could use their trashcans.

Of course, not everyone who likes to party is completely irresponsible, but the collective attitude toward holding oneself accountable is still very much a high school approach.

It’s the idea that, “Someone else will clean it up, but even if they don’t, it doesn’t really matter.”

Never fear though, as Bloomington is just one of many college towns in America, so it’s not as if the problem could get much worse.

Ah, the persistent ignorance of the American way.

It is truly a feat of mankind to destroy something so critically essential to life, all the while convincing ourselves it was bound to happen anyway.

But that’s OK. Everybody knows being proactive is only necessary when there’s instant gain to be had.

So let’s all hold hands, close our eyes and pretend Earth is still just fine, no matter what takes place.

If planting trees and maintaining clean water somehow produced money naturally or heightened one’s social status, we would probably save the planet.

Too bad we all just live on this big, filthy rock. michoman@indiana.edu

crosswalks and a median reflect a growing concern for student safety, Williams said. Students often cross Jordan Avenue at random points rather than at designated crosswalks.

“I know I’ve watched, over the last 18 years that I’ve been here, the randomness of the crossing and the lack of awareness,” Williams said.

“We’re all looking at our cell phones. We’ve all got our earbuds in. We’re all

out set things and make their own costumes. It’s an interesting challenge we don’t get anywhere else.”

A full orchestra consisting of students from the Jacobs School of Music will accompany the performances of “Iolanthe.”

The group recruited students to join the orchestra and asked conductor Carlos Botero to work with them.

After collaborating with them previously in different projects, Botero knew he wanted to get involved.

“Anything students can do to improve and nurture their skills, I want to be involved in,” Botero said. “I also really love the music. It’s fun, sweet, witty and creative.”

Botero has been working with the students for the past few weeks, attending about 20 hours of rehearsals last weekend alone. The group was unable to obtain space to practice on campus but secured space in a local church.

Despite the struggles with practice facilities and funding, the group is looking forward to their performances, which are completely free to the public.

“It’s a great opportunity to see good singers and good actors working together for the pure passion of it,” Botero said.

“There’s no credit, no grade, no money. It’s a special kind of energy that very few times happens in the professional world, and it’s just around the corner here.”

trying to do three things at once. And you get a driver that’s doing three things at once, a pedestrian that’s doing three things at once and that could be a really bad combination.”

The median will be landscaped, filled with elm trees and other plants, in an attempt to funnel students to the new crosswalks, Williams said.

“If we had a median that was just a raised concrete platform down the center of Jordan (Avenue), it would actually make it more attractive for people to randomly

cross, since they could just dart out to the median and have a refuge,” she said.

Representatives from the city and IU have discussed the addition of new crosswalks and a median for nearly 10 years, Williams said.

While representatives from Bloomington wanted a raised concrete median, representatives from IU sought an aesthetically pleasing median.

“We’ll be able to get the best of both worlds,” she said. “And, in my opinion, it was worth the wait.”

No. 11 while St. Louis was ranked No. 6.

“It’s always an honor to wear the IU badge, and I’m sure it’s the same for them,” IU freshman defender Grant Lillard said. “It’s kind of a little rivalry game between the top two teams historically, so I’m sure it’ll make it more interesting.”

A primary reason for the Billikens’ success has been the play of senior forward Robert Kristo. In seven games, Kristo has scored six of St. Louis’ 13 goals this season.

The IU defense has only allowed six goals all season.

“Shutting down the other team’s offense is very important,” Lillard said. “Especially if they have a special guy we have to keep an eye on. It presents a good challenge, but we’ve done pretty good so far this year so I’m sure we’ll be prepared to play against them.”

St. Louis has also tallied 17 assists on its 13 goals this season. Juniors David Graydon and Marco Heskamp have accounted for four of those assists each, while senior Raymond Lee has added three assists of his own.

IU’s opponents have only managed three assists all season.

“We’ve got to keep the ball out of the net,” Doody said. “We did that for 89 minutes against Northwestern. It’s going to be a team defensive performance that’s going to help the ball stay out of the net.”

St. Louis has also been winners of five straight matches, including wins against Louisville, which is ranked No. 6 nationally, and Creighton, which is ranked No. 11 nationally.

“Playing against a team that’s rolling is always tough,” Lillard said.

“They’ll have a lot of confidence pinging the ball around. We’re a confident side, though, and we’re not afraid to play against any team.”

“That’s why we schedule like we do,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “So we don’t get blindsided with a game like this.”

St. Louis has been excellent defensively as well.

Just like IU, St. Louis has only allowed six goals this season. Four of those goals came in one match, a 4-0 loss at Memphis.

IU has found the back of the net 11 times this season and knows it is capable of more.

The match Wednesday will come only three days after IU’s last match, a 1-1 draw against Northwestern.

A match of this magnitude coming so soon after one as taxing as the match against Northwestern would have some coaches worried but not Yeagley.

“It’s a program rivalry,” Yeagley said. “It’s a team that has had a fantastic year, and they have a lot of good talent. These are the games it’s easy to get up for and recover mentally and physically when you know you have to be at your best.”

Surreal elegance Fall Ballet provides range of art, talent

By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu | @amandanmarino

Three very unusual ballets will be part of this year’s fall ballet, with performances at 8 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday.

“Emeralds,” “Dark Elegies” and “The Envelope” were selected to be brought to life by students within IU’s Ballet Department.

“You will travel through every emotion in this Fall Ballet,” senior Ellie Edwards said of the three performances.

Edwards dances in both “Emeralds” and “Dark Elegies” and said she has had an experience like no other when working on these performances.

Edwards said she was able to learn her role in “Emeralds” from Mimi Paul, the original dancer to take on the part.

Paul and distinguished professor of ballet Violette Verdy were the first two dancers to perform as principals in the performance, she said.

Verdy danced for the original choreographer George Ballanchine, who worked with the New York City ballet during the 20th century.

Ballanchine is often called the father of American ballet and worked in the United States from 1933 to his death in 1983.

It is an honor and a gift unlike any other to be directed by Paul and Verdy, Edwards said.

“They have so much to give, so much to share,” she said.

For Edwards, the elegance of the show is what makes it amazing.

“I think it’s hard not to feel beautiful in this ballet,” she said.

“Emeralds” is a French piece with an atmosphere that conjures images of the late 19th century, such as courtly love, chivalry and respect.

It comes from a longer three-act ballet titled “Jewels,” which was first performed in 1967 at the New York State Theater. The Fall Ballet will only feature the final act of “Jewels,” which portrays a dramatic end to the longer three act performance.

“It pushes the dancers to a totally professional level,” Verdy said.

Creating the atmosphere while still performing with high skill levels and technique is what makes the show so special, she said.

“It has been so inspiring,” sophomore Raffaella Stroik said of her experience working with Verdy on her role.

Stroik said Verdy’s dedication is apparent and helps the dancers gain insight into the performance.

Being one of the first ballerinas to dance the performance gives Verdy an in-depth experience from which to teach her dance students.

“I’m sure it’ll make for a very elegant and beautiful performance,” Stroik said.

Though the ballet doesn’t have a specific storyline, it still conveys an elegant feeling, she said.

“There are moments where it’s very dreamlike,” she said.

Junior Alexandra Hartnett said she has had a similar experience in preparing for the ballet.

“It was really, honestly kind of surreal for me,” she said of her time with Verdy. “I wanted to do (the performance) justice.”

Hartnett said her goal was to see the ballet from Verdy’s perspective as she learned the steps.

While the dancers have enjoyed the rehearsals, it also comes with its challenges, they said.

“It is an amazing challenge to do it in September,” Verdy said.

The lack of time has made it difficult for the dancers to prepare, even though they have been rehearsing daily to add details and finishing touches to the performance, she said.

“I wish we had more time,” Stroik said.

Following “Emeralds,” Verdy said the next show, “Dark Elegies,” is completely different.

It is heart-rending, she said.

Stroik said “Dark Elegies” is a play about human grief told through a great disaster in a village that leads to people losing their children.

She said the emotional journey travels from despair to mourning to resignation to hope.

CHILLIN’ IN CHILE

Filmmaker, artist discuss female sexuality in film

By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP

MAKENZIE HOLLAND | IDS

A red, wooden walkway leads visitors to the different pools the Hot Springs has to offer, and at the end of the walkway a waterfall greets viewers eyes. Though the pools are hot, the waterfall and small river that run through the area are ice cold.

Adventure awaits all in Pucón If the word “adventure” could appear as a place in this big ol’ world, it would appear as Pucón, Chile.

As soon as I arrived in Pucón last Friday morning, after a long night aboard a double-decker bus, adventure rushed to greet me.

Kayaks waited patiently along the blue lake’s edge.

The volcano Villarrica’s snow-capped peak rose majestically in the distance, and signs inviting tourists to try a number of different outdoor activities such as hiking, beckoned from wood lodges.

Our first adventure consisted of an easy-going kayak trip on Villarrica Lake, whose vast blue waters I couldn’t resist after looking for a time from our hostel’s front window.

An unusually sunny day in Pucón, I was able to see the volcano quite clearly and, though the air was

crisp and chilly, I stretched out on top of a small cliff soaking in the sun’s rays.

My friend and I ventured a bit further on the edge of the lake to a large group of rocks, which we quickly abandoned as birds guarding their nests dove at us, squawking and coming way too close for comfort.

Later that day, we were driven deep into Mapuche territory, where we were taken on a two-hour horseback ride through rivers, along another lake and through winding trails.

Mapuche are the largest indigenous group in Chile, and our Mapuche guide explained to us that, though they live in Chile, they consider themselves different from Chileans.

They have their own culture, their own beliefs and their own language.

Mapuche means “people of the Earth” in

Mapudungun, a language isolate spoken by Mapuche in south and central Chile, as well as some areas in Argentina.

When we reached the lakeshore, our guide told us they considered the volcano to be a house of spirits, and it is highly respected by everyone in the area.

As he knelt on the shore, carefully sifting the black sand through his fingers, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat ashamed.

He and his people lived so simply, needing so little and, when we later sat down and ate with his family, they seemed so happy.

And I, who has so much, cannot fathom the simple happiness he and his family expressed among each other and their relationship with the earth.

When we finally said our goodbyes, I couldn’t help but look back and try to

MAKENZIE HOLLAND is a senior in journalism and international studies

hold tight in my memory the happiness my guide and his home exuded.

By the time we returned to our hostel, we were more than exhausted. As we had a new adventure awaiting us the next day, we hit the sack early.

Saturday was a day of relaxation and awe as we made our way to the Geométricas hot springs nestled in the Villarrica National Park.

I didn’t know what to expect heading there, but I was taken aback by the hot springs’ sheer beauty when I arrived.

A long, red walkway lured visitors into the steamy mist created by 20 pools in the area. Each SEE CHILE, PAGE 11

IU Cinema revisited the film “Naked Acts” for the “Naked Acts: Image Making and Black Female Sexuality” workshop.

The workshop was sponsored by IU Black Film Center/Archive.

Facing a small audience from the stage, filmmaker Bridgett Davis and artist Renée Cox gave intimate insight into what went into the film.

They were featured in a question and answer session moderated by LaMonda Horton-Stallings, associate professor in the Department of Gender Studies.

“It was all a hope and a prayer at the beginning,” Davis said.

“Naked Acts” told the story of Cicely, an actress, who recently lost 57 pounds and landed her first role in a low-budget art film, according to Davis’ website.

The main intrigue of the movie revolves around the fact that Cicely’s role requires a nude scene, a fact she resists due to body insecurity.

The film centered on the story of a black woman cautiously opening herself up to sexuality in a world that hypersexualizes the black female body.

Davis specifically aimed to break the stereotype that a black woman is a highly sexual, agressive being.

Cox took the idea one step further and said the film naturalized the nude female form. She played Diana, a character that helped jumpstart Cicely’s acceptance of her body.

“My nudity is not titillating,” she said about her nude scene in the film. She shared a scene with the main character in a sauna.

Davis said that, despite the fact the film played with African American stereotypes, the overall theme was universal. Women are often sexualized in the media, she said. However, the way in which they are reflected changes based on race.

White women are often made to look pure and virginal, she said. “You will never see the black woman virginized,” she said.

Additionally, the film aimed at three different types of intimacy and the line between intimacy and sexuality.

Three relationships were explored: the relationship between Cicely and her boyfriend, Cicely and Diana and Cicely and her mother.

Davis used these three varying couples to show that intimacy does not have to be sexualized. It can just be touching, an act that has universal and neutral meanings.

“I don’t see enough of that,” she said of modern media.

It’s an American thing, this lack of intimacy in American media, Cox said.

Perhaps it comes from America’s Puritan roots, she said.

Cox referenced European cultures: Italians are touchy and the French kiss cheeks as a greeting.

People in the hills of France kiss eight times without romantic meaning, she said.

The nudity, and even the love scenes in “Naked Acts,” are not erotic. It’s a matter of showing the personal connection involved in human interaction.

“It wasn’t a sexual thing,” Cox said. “It was a gesture of humanity.”

Ramen recipes: Getting creative We all know ramen noodles are a college student’s best friend, but having the same meal again and again can get boring. So, I’m here to mix it up with six creative ramen recipes.

Go grab your noodles, and let’s get creative.

Keep the flavor packet on the side because they’re optional with most of these delicious dishes.

1. Thai noodle bowl The Thai noodle bowl is a wonderfully ethnic twist on ramen noodles.

Add veggies, peanuts, soy sauce and a little chicken or beef to the ramen if that’s what you’re into.

This is basically a pseudopad thai but with ramen. It’s super easy to cook, and it doesn’t require a ton of different ingredients.

2. Ramen macaroni and cheese This is a classic, and slurpy, twist on the normal ramen

recipes. All you need is Velveeta, a little milk and your pack of noodles.

You can also twist this up by making your ramen and then drizzling melted cheese on top of the noodles before you eat them.

3. Shrimp Alfredo ramen This fun and fancy ramen conversion is as easy as your pack of noodles and two additional ingredients.

Buy some baby shrimp at the grocery store, defrost them, and then add them to some alfredo sauce for a yummy noodle topping.

Add them to your bowl of plain ramen, and you’re ready to go.

4. Fried egg noodle bowl Mix it up with some fried egg and a little sriracha.

Mix your noodles with a little garlic salt and soy sauce, and then top it off with a fried egg and a little drizzle of sriracha.

the bold taste testers because it has a kick.

5. Ramen garden salad This recipe is different from the rest because it actually integrates the uncooked ramen noodles into the recipe.

Chop up some lettuce, heirloom tomatoes and avocados, and add in some uncooked ramen for an unexpectedly delicious crunch.

Ramen basically substitutes croutons in this salad bowl, adding a healthy way to eat ramen and it tastes divine.

6. Spinach and tomato ramen Grab a can of leafy spinach and a can of diced tomatoes and mix them up with a little bit of garlic and lemon juice.

Then pour it on top of some cooked Ramen noodles for a healthier and delicious alternative to the classic ramen recipe.

IU secondary young, learning

By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri

After every game, sophomore safety Antonio Allen can tell you how many missed tackles he had.

Saturday, it was three.

As a team, the IU defense missed 21 tackles in a 37-15 loss to Maryland.

Allen said that was a major point of emphasis at practice Tuesday.

“We had to go out there with more intensity,” he said. “We missed tackles last week so we tackled more. I have to do better just running through the tackle and wrapping up.”

As a defense, the Hoosiers are allowing just under 30 points per game. That’s a marked improvement from last year when their opponents scored over 40 points in seven of twelve games.

But, through four games, consistency remains a glaring issue.

Part of the problem is an IU secondary with a lot of young players still

learning the defense, IU safeties Coach Noah Joseph said.

Joseph is coaching some players who, throughout their college careers, have seen two different defensive coordinators and three different defensive schemes.

Former IU defensive coordinator Doug Mallory, who was at IU for three short years, ran a 4-3.

“We’re asking them to do some things that maybe they didn’t do in the past so it’s a learning curve and hopefully they’re getting more comfortable,” Joseph said.

“They’re doing a great job in practice and working on it, so sooner or later it better pay off in games.”

Joseph said more than a lack of familiarity, it’s a lack of trust.

Allen has played in eleven games in his career and has started in just five.

Freshman Chase Dutra got his first significant playing time against Maryland in place of starting strong safety Mark Murphy, who suffered a hamstring injury last week.

Freshmen safeties Kiante

Walton and Tony Fields have seen limited playing time.

Joseph said they’re all still getting comfortable playing together, the individual tenacity of young guys like Allen and Dutra is encouraging.

“The thing that (Dutra) plays with, and I think you see Antonio Allen play with most of the time, is just a reckless abandonment,” he said. “They may be wrong, but they find the football and we have to get more of that.”

Joseph wants his players to take on his personality.

The first-year IU coach spent the past two years as safeties coach at North Texas.

In 2013, the Mean Green won the Heart of Dallas Bowl and went 9-4. Their nine wins are tied for most in program history.

He said those players took on the personality of defensive coordinator John Skladany. He wants to bring the same mentality to the IU defense, especially with a group that’s just being developed.

“I think it’s easier to get

IU FOOTBALL (2-2) vs. North Texas (2-2) 2:30 p.m. Saturday Bloomington, BTN guys to take that personality on when you don’t have to un-teach them,” Joseph said.

Allen leads the secondary with 6.3 tackles per game and cornerback Tim Bennett has 5.8.

Something Joseph wants to see out of both his safeties and corners is making the big play, making gamechanging plays.

Being more aggressive, something the coaches have emphasized since a 45-42 loss to Bowling Green, will come with those big plays.

Right now, the defense isn’t preventing the Hoosiers from winning.

But, it isn’t helping them win either, Joseph said.

“If things aren’t going well, or we need a stop, we need someone to step up and be the guy to get that stop,” he said. “I’d like to see us be a little bit more aggressive and make more plays out there.”

It’s not often we say goodbye to a legend.

In fact, for this generation of IU students, it is reasonable to say this is the first time we have witnessed a legendary sporting career in New York Yankees’s short-stop Derek Jeter.

As Rookie of the Year, Jeter earned his first distinction in 1996, the time that most of us were beginning to walk, talk and make sense of the world.

Our understanding of baseball, then, was molded

by Jeter.

We grew up watching him, from his first World Series Championship in 1996 to his fifth and final in 2009 and every Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award in between.

He notched his 3,000th career hit in 2011. But it wasn’t just a hit, it was a home run.

He took his last at bat in Yankee Stadium on Sept.

25, 2014.

And it wasn’t just an at bat, but a trip to the plate that ended in walk-off fashion.

In a deluge of athletes that have transcended their respective sports for the wrong reasons, Jeter is a sportsman that transcended the game for all that is good.

In the prime of his career, Jeter emerged unscathed from an era in MLB that saw the majority of its stars stripped of their titles because of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs.

One such star included Jeter’s own teammate, Alex Rodriguez.

In today’s mediated society, it’s become increasingly rare that a player’s reputation remain not only clean throughout his career but respectable too.

Enter Derek Jeter, whose final season campaign has been galvanized by respect.

The slogan, “RE2PECT,” commemorates Jeter’s number two.

The Yankees captain has earned the respect of all those he has

TORI ZIEGE is a sophomore in journalism.

encountered in his 20year career, from his home crowd of New Yorkers, traditionally rude and unforgiving, to his rival crowd of Bostonians.

It is likely Jeter will be the only person ever to bridge the gap between Yankees and Red Sox fans as he did in his final game, which was played at Fenway Park on Sunday.

He is the most beloved baseball player on what was, and perhaps still is, the most hated team in baseball.

Beyond his merit of respect, Jeter has achieved another accolade that is even more exceptional in this generation: he played for the same team, unwavering, for 20 straight years.

There was no decline, no contract dispute, no departure and return. Derek Jeter played as a rookie in New York City, and he retired there.

The fact is, the more Jeter’s career is reflected upon, the more unbelievable it seems.

I would even say it’s unparalleled.

At IU, we have our legend — the 1976 championship team.

Over the years, it has become more apparent just how extraordinary this team was, as it has remained the last undefeated NCAA Division I men’s basketball team for 38 years.

As for legendary eras, the closest the Hoosiers have come to a championship since Coach Bobby Knight’s dismissal was the 2002 NCAA Championship game.

The point is: we don’t know how long we will have to wait for the next legend to be.

So let’s celebrate the legend that is. vziege@indiana.edu
