Art on trial

IDS

Low Bob’s robber found Indiana State Police arrest man who robbed discount tobacco store Sunday

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

From IDS reports

A mural on the side of a building on Kirkwood Avenue, spray-painted vandalism on a campus landmark and the tag of a well-known artist are often placed in the same category.

Graffiti, defined by associate professor Malcolm Smith historically as markings on public walls or spaces, is used contemporarily to describe all of the above types of expression.

Early this week, the phrase “college is capitalism” was painted on Collins Living Learning Center and quickly power washed away. Smith said there is a difference between overt political statements, such as the one at Collins, larger murals and the craft of graffiti.

Smith said that sort of art does not exist in the realm of graffiti as he and other graffiti artists view the term.

“It’s not to be confused with street art and general vandalism,” Smith said. “There’s a sort of ethical culture in the true graffiti subculture that avoids calling attention to or defacing buildings that have intrinsic value.”

The robbery suspect from Low Bob’s Discount Tobacco was caught at 9:30 a.m. Monday. The suspect, Nathan Callahan, was stopped and arrested by Indiana State Police near Evansville, Indiana.

Callahan, 36, confessed to robbing Low Bob’s on Sunday when speaking to Bloomington Police Department detectives. When police searched Callahan’s home, they found that he had not used a real handgun but rather a ball bearing gun to hold up Low Bob’s.

The BB gun was found in Callahan’s residence in Solsberry, Indiana.

Callahan said he was addicted to oxycodone and needed the money from the robbery to purchase more of the prescription drug.

BPD received additional information on Callahan when his brother, Eric Callahan, called in to tell police about the robbery. BPD Capt.

Steve Kellams said Eric thought his brother was suicidal during the call and soon after called BPD. BPD pushed the additional information on Callahan out to other law enforcement agencies who helped locate him.

ISP located his 2000 white Jeep Cherokee near Evansville, pulled him over and placed him under arrest without incident.

BPD is unsure exactly how much was taken from Low Bob’s, but they recovered $109 dollars that was with Callahan, which supposedly belongs to the store.

Body cameras for police officers have grown in use since the incident in Ferguson, Missouri, when an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown was shot and killed

by Darren Wilson, a Ferguson Police officer.

But the effectiveness of body cameras in comparison to their cost is still being evaluated by both police and civilians.

During the grand jury proceedings, the jury chose not to indict Wilson for shooting Brown. While he was not indicted, the proceedings found FPD had engaged in numerous constitutional violations while policing and that the whole system needed to be overhauled.

After those events, body cameras began to be more widely used by police departments. The Bloomington Police Department actually began using body cameras a year prior to Ferguson and has since acquired more cameras for all of its officers.

IU Police Department Lt. Craig Munroe, who would not comment on specifics, said IUPD is currently in the middle of requesting body cameras for their officers.

BPD Capt. Steve Kellams said while many officers were nervous about putting them on at first, many of those same officers will not leave the department anymore without having one on them.

The body cameras are designed to increase the level of accountability between both the police and the public. For the public, the cameras are meant to reassure them that the actions of police will be recorded.

And for police, they are meant to be reassuring that their perspective of events will be preserved, Kellams said.

With body cameras, the perspective of the officers is now available and can help corroborate or contrast with other recordings.

Souleymane Diallo and Daja Palmer from the Black Student Union at IU disagreed with the idea that the cameras provide additional accountability for officers, and cited examples of when footage has failed to curb police violence and indict those caught on camera harming citizens.

“It’s not going to prevent anything.” Palmer said. “Police do what they please.”

Dialla said while a great deal of violence has already been recorded and shared to the public, the cameras and the footage have not

critics of the fee say it limits who can access the footage, but Kellams provided an example of why the fee is there.

Kellams said if three officers are working a traffic accident that takes three hours to clear up and some-

David Sebree, 44, was arrested early Tuesday morning for an attempted robbery of Rural King.

Police responded at approximately 3:45 a.m. to an alarm from the gun counter of the store.

Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said BPD arrived within minutes of the alarm being sounded . As they were setting up a perimeter, officers saw Sebree dressed in all black clothing, including a black mask, running from the scene.

Sebree fled from police through the east entrance, jumped the fence around Rural King and landed in a ditch by State Road 37 where he was caught and arrested by BPD officers.

BPD investigated the scene, where they found that Sebree had gotten into the store by climbing the fence and using a pry bar to open the door in the farm garden section.

Sebree had not managed to get access to any of the guns in Rural King.

They were all secured in the gun safe when police arrived.

Police also found several prescription drugs on Sebree when they arrested him, all of which he had stolen from his neighbor.

Sebree admitted to his break in and attempted robbery of Rural King to BPD officers, Capt. Kellams said.

changed anything in regards to police and civilian interactions.

Kellams also said it is important to note that the cameras do not provide all the information in a situation.

“They never provide all the facts,” Kellams said.

The cameras are also expensive to maintain and to extract video from if requested by the public. Indiana Public Access laws require that these videos be made available to the public for a fee of $150. Some

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Sophomore forward has high hopes returning from ACL injury

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

Returning from a season-ending injury is a monumental task for any athlete.

IU women’s soccer sophomore forward Abby Allen was only seven games into her freshman season when a torn ACL ended her year.

The injury, suffered Sept. 11, 2015, at Notre Dame, forced Allen to miss the remainder of the season after starting in four of the team’s first seven matches.

Allen underwent surgery to repair her ACL following the injury

and used her time away from the pitch as a learning experience to help improve her game.

“This year, I definitely feel like I’m different overall. I’m a different player in general,” Allen said.

“I think being out so long, I just learned a lot from watching and I understand things more tactically now.”

While Allen was unable to score in her seven matches with the team in 2015, the Hoosier offense felt her influence. Allen recorded seven shots on goal last season, the fifth-highest amount among all team members, despite playing in

less than 37 percent of the team’s games.

By comparison, three of the four players who registered more shots on goal than Allen last season played in all 19 of IU’s matches.

“Abby is so important to our offense,” IU Coach Amy Berbary said. “She’s just starting to come into her own this season, and I really like what she’s done so far offensively.”

Allen’s first match back from injury was IU’s season opener Aug. 19 at home against Louisville. She recorded two shots in the 1-1 draw,

her first competitive match with this year’s roster of players.

“I feel like each day, the offense is getting more comfortable with each other as a group,” Allen said.

“Our chemistry is building every day. We are just working as a group to keep meshing and to keep understanding each other as players and how we are going to work together.”

IU’s best offensive display of the season came this past Sunday in a home match against Northern Colorado. Allen fired off three shots, one on goal, as the Hoosiers defeated the Bears 3-0.

Sunday’s match was the fourth

match of the season for IU and Allen’s fourth start. She nearly scored her first collegiate goal in the contest, but Northern Colorado junior goalkeeper Madeline Burdick tipped a first-half shot from Allen onto the crossbar.

Berbary said she values Allen’s role with the Hoosier offense, but also keeps in mind Allen has limited playing experience at the collegiate level.

“We are expecting a lot from Abby,” Berbary said. “I think she’s knocking on the door. We are really excited to have her back on the field.”

IUPD to use body cameras after year debating From IDS Reports

The IU Police Department said it plans to implement body-worn cameras at the IUBloomington and IUPUI campuses after more than a year of research and discussion, according to an IU release.

The committee that conducted the research included students, police officers, attor-

neys, faculty with expertise in criminal justice and privacy, IU’s chief privacy officer and IU’s superintendent of public safety.

“We are immensely grateful for the committee’s work and insights on such a complicated issue,” said Bob True, interim superintendent of public safety at IU, in the release. “We also appreciate that

body-worn cameras are just a tool. They supplement other, even more important efforts to foster greater community engagement toward and positive relationships between IUPD officers and the communities they serve.”

The committee concluded officers from the IUPD should not record full shifts of work as some other departments do.

IUPD officers will be expected to record most contact with the public but may choose to stop the cameras to protect victims and legitimate privacy issues.

IUPD contacted camera vendors for product proposals, but specific hardware, software and storage systems have not yet been selected.

True said the department

is months away from actual implementation.

In accordance with Indiana state law, all video will be kept 190 days or longer, and it will be available to the public.

However, the University may withhold video if it determines release would lead to significant risk of substantial harm to anyone, interfere with a fair trial, affect an

ongoing investigation or not serve public interest in some capacity.

IUPD plans to assess use of the cameras annually and conduct a comprehensive review after five years.

Over time, IUPD plans to extend the body-worn cameras to all regional campuses.

IU alumna, Media School unite for alternative break

By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@umail.iu.edu @laureldemkovich

Students in the Media School can now travel to Puerto Vejo, Costa Rica, during Thanksgiving Break as part of the school’s new alternative break service learning program.

The Media School worked with the Rich Coast Project, an organization founded by IU alumna Katie Beck, to create a storytelling alternative service program.

Students who attend will make a series of podcasts about the local community and will teach locals how to do audio storytelling.

The podcasts will be a part of the Rich Coast Project’s archive to preserve information and stories from the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.

Audrie Osterman, Media School director of experiential education, said one of the best parts of the trip is allowing students to connect with people in another culture.

“This is a really good experience for students,” Osterman said. “The more students interact with people in the community, the more they

learn from that experience.”

The Rich Coast Project is an archiving project dedicated to protecting the land rights and cultural heritage of people in the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, according to the website.

The main goals of the project are to empower citizens in the community and increase access to information.

In law school, Beck began researching land rights along the Caribbean coast. She became interested in how land and its ownership affected the communities, most of which was negative, Beck said.

One of the biggest things she noticed was a lack of information about land rights.

The archive is a way to fill the gap with this access of information. The podcasts students create will be a chance to add to this archive and share knowledge and stories from the community.

“There are very few people who understand the legal history of land and the requirements for it,” Beck said.

Anyone who has a major in the Media School can apply

by Sept. 6 to attend the trip.

It’s a good opportunity for students with different majors and concentrations in the Me-

dia School to interact, work together and get to know each other, Osterman said.

One of the best parts of this trip is students can get involved in the local commu-

nity in Puerto Vejo, Beck said.

At the end of the trip, students will have a public workshop on audio storytelling to teach the community how to tell these stories.

RHA focuses on student advocacy Structure of RHA at IU Residence halls have several different governing bodies.

Decisions can be made at a singular residence hall level, by leaders of multiple residence halls or at a higher level through the RHA.

Each floor in a residence hall elects a student to represent it in the residence hall center’s student government.

The Residence Hall Association’s focus this year is on student advocacy, RHA president Anne-Therese Ryan said.

The goal of the organization is to provide advocacy and leadership opportunities for students.

However, in the past few years, RHA hasn’t put as much emphasis on advocacy as Ryan said she hopes to this year.

Serving as a vice president on the executive board last year, Ryan said she and another member of the board spent most of the year thinking about ways to restructure the association to be better for students.

“We really want to keep growing stronger as an organization and have a stronger presence on campus,” Ryan said.

One way Ryan said she plans to do this is by creating new positions and programs focusing on research and policy writing.

A new program Ryan said she is most excited about is a new internship experience for first-year students.

First-year students can now serve as interns for the RHA Executive Board.

Most of RHA’s constituency are first-year students, so RHA wanted to find a better way to serve them, Ryan said. Giving freshmen a chance to observe what happens on the executive level seemed like a good way to get them involved early on.

These interns can see how different areas of RHA, such as marketing, research or policy-making, work.

“We’re hoping it provides professional development and helps make students into good leaders,” Ryan said.

The freshman internship callouts are 5 p.m. Sept. 6 in Teter F206 and at 7 p.m.

Sept. 8 in Wilkie C11. For more information, students can visit the RHA Facebook page.

Throughout the year, RHA passes policies through their general assembly.

One policy currently being looked at is allowing C-Stores to sell condoms.

Ryan and her peers also look at numerous proposals for new living learning communities.

Ryan became a part of the association her freshman year when she was elected by her floor in Foster to represent them in Foster’s student government.

The next semester, she became the Foster president, a position she kept throughout her sophomore year.

“I didn’t know what I was getting myself into,” Ryan said. “But there was so much support in the program.”

From there she served as a vice president and now as president.

Ryan said one of the best parts about RHA is the amount of support each student receives. They really want to inspire students to become leaders.

It’s also important that students know they have a resource in RHA, Ryan said.

When there are problems in their dorms, most students just go to the residence assistant, but some of the problems can only be fixed through RHA. “We want to make students’ time here better,” Ryan said. “We want to make sure they have the most successful experience in our housing as possible.”

Each center has its own president and executive board.

Each center sends its president and two other delegates to the General Assembly, which meets every other Wednesday and is open to the public.

RHA has its own executive branch, which comprises a president, a vice president of student affairs, a vice president of internal affairs and a vice president of programming.

When students visit, the community members also become more motivated, Beck said. There are a lot of positive effects on the community and creating a

New technology to help disease researchers From IDS Reports

IU is launching three new computing resources that will help scientists and engineers research preventative measures for diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and cancer, according to an IU press release.

A celebration of the technology’s launch will occur at 3 p.m. Thursday in the Cyberinfrastructure Building.

“With these new systems, IU continues to provide our researchers the leading-edge computational tools needed for the scale of today’s research problems,” said Brad Wheeler, IU vice president for information technology and chief information officer, in the release. “Each of these systems is quite distinct in its purpose to meet the needs of our researchers and students.”

The new resources will provide cloud-based data analysis and faster processing times for large-scale computations, according to the release.

One technology, called JetStream, is a cloud-based resource that will allow researchers to collaborate as well as access files on tablets, laptops and desktop computers.

Another resource, Big Red II+, will help researchers across disciplines with faster processing. It will also be used in IU’s Grand Challenges Program, according to the release.

The Diet proof-of-concept testbed, the third resource, will be particularly helpful when it comes to drug design, social networks and national security.

“IU’s high performance computing resources are second to none,” Acharya said in the release. “They provide a distinct competitive advantage for our faculty at the School of Informatics and Computing across a wide range of research areas such as security, complex systems, intelligent systems engineering and high-performance computing.”

White House discusses national drug problem From IDS reports

and Just Downtown initiative and other important work in which CFRD participates, according to the release.

Hamilton will be at the market from 11 a.m. to noon Sept. 24 in front of City Hall.

Hamilton will be ready to talk about the recently proposed city budget, or any other City matter of interest, according to the release.

The public is encouraged to attend any or each of these after-hours opportunities to interact with city staff.

There are no formal agendas, just a chance to interact and share thoughts, concerns and ideas, according to the release.

All are welcome.

Politicians discussed President Obama’s request for $1.1 billion to fight the nationwide prescription opioid and heroin epidemic in a White House press call yesterday.

Opioids are a class of drugs that include prescription pain relievers such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine and fentanyl, as well as other drugs, including heroin, according to the American Society of Addiction Medicine.

“The opioid addiction is of such large proportions it’s hard to describe,” Steve Williams, mayor of Huntington, West Virginia said.

Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the United States, with 47,055 lethal drug overdoses in 2014, according to the American Society of Addiction Medicine.

The majority of these are opioid-related, with 18,893 overdose deaths due to pain relievers and 10,574 overdose deaths due to heroin.

Over 200 people suffered from opioid overdoses in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio alone last week, said Michael Botticelli, director of National Drug Control Policy.

The government needs to hone the most impactful strategies to end this, said Sylvia M. Burwell, secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

The main issue is the funding gap on the treatment end, Williams said.

Williams said one evening less than two weeks ago, 26 overdoses occurred within five hours in his city. However, there are only 28 detox beds in the state of West Virginia.

Currently, there is a sixmonth waiting period for treatment, which illustrates why Obama’s request for $1.1 billion is necessary to fight the epidemic, Williams said.

“We don’t have six months, six weeks or six days,” Williams said. “We shouldn’t need more than 6 hours to place someone in a treatment facility.”

Williams said this is not a partisan issue, this is an issue of saving lives.

“We’re at the point where we’re ready to lose an entire generation,” Williams said.

“We absolutely have no time to waste.”

Bloomington announced as stop on motorcycle ride From IDS reports

The Transcontinental Motorcycle Cannonball Century Race founder and owner of Jurassic Racing in Sturgis, South Dakota, Lonnie Isam, Jr., announced the schedule for the 17-day event yesterday, according to a Motorcycle Cannonball Run press release.

The only stop in the state of Indiana will be Sept. 13 at Harley-Davidson of Bloomington, 522 W. Gourley Pike, according to the press release.

Motorcycles will begin arriving between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m., and crews, along with support personnel, will arrive throughout the day.

Bloomington is an overnight stop on the 3304-mile route that begins in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and ends in Carlsbad, California, according to the release.

Though the race is on United States soil, the 2016 iteration is, for all intents and purposes, a worldwide event.

Jason Sims, director of operations for this historic run, said in the release that the endurance ride for century-old, pre-1916 antique motorcycles will get underway Sept. 10, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and will include riders from around the world, according to the release.

With 95 entries from 25 states, nine countries and four continents, this event

will be watched by the world as motorcycles of all marques tackle a coast-tocoast route across America.

The entire route will include less that 100 miles of interstate roadways.

A week into travel, riders will have a day of rest, repairs and some festivities in the Western-era cattle town of Dodge City, Kansas, on Sept. 18, according to the release.

After a total of 3,304 miles, the ride is slated to conclude Sept. 25 in Carlsbad, California.

During the motorcycle event, participants will ride vintage pre-1916 motorcycles such as Henderson, Indian, Triumph, HarleyDavidson, JAP, Excelsior, BSA, Thor and others.

Isam said in the release that the event is a timed test of both the rider’s endurance and the capabilities of their machines as they navigate America’s back roads through some of the most scenic areas of the country.

“This route is going to be a challenge, and the bikes from this generation really don’t get ridden that much, so there will still be some rebuilding going on along the run,” Isam said in the release. “We’ll cover some of the best riding areas in the country. It’s going to be a difficult trip. We’ll have long days and tough terrain.

I suspect that even the most seasoned rider will find this run challenging.”

Isam said, while organizers and Motorcyclist Course Master John Classen are still working out the final details, it’s clear the second week of the event will be grueling as riders make their way though the West to Carlsbad.

Throughout the run, the scenery will awe participants as they pilot their ancient machines by several national parks, monuments, memorials and museums, Classen said in the release.

The Wabash Cannonball Bridge is certain to inspire entrants, and Wolf Creek Pass and the Grand Canyon are sure to take riders’ breath away, he said.

The Four Corners and the Joshua Tree National Park will continue the route through the diverse terrain.

The 2016 Motorcycle Cannonball Run’s roster includes past winner Hans Cortese of South Africa and world-traveling rider personality Doug Wothke, according to the release.

Other riders include bike builder Shinya Kimura, Bill Rodencal, Victor Boocock and several others.

This year’s route goes through 15 states to arrive at the Grand Finish in Carlsbad.

Motorcyclists are encouraged to yell “California or bust!” throughout the event, according to the release.

Anthony Weiner, the greatest that never was

EpiPen price hikes can have grim effects Mylan’s astronomical pricing for the drug is deplorable The life-or-death drug should be accessible to all Drugs like epinephrine, which some peoples’ lives depend on in emergencies, should be accessible to all.

You can’t put a price on living, yet that’s exactly what the American pharmaceutical company Mylan did when they raised the price of EpiPens to $600.

This makes the editorial board furious.

Columnist Neeta Patwari is very aware of the importance of the affordability of these drugs.

“It started as an itch, but it quickly grew into a series of hives all over my body that I could not bear,” Patwari said. “Soon, I couldn’t feel my face, and everything felt numb except my stomach that hurt so badly.

I was going to faint, and my eyesight was oscillating between sharp and blurry. My parents didn’t know what to do, and I couldn’t breathe.

“In the 10th grade, I had my first allergic reaction.

Since then, I have had three severe allergic reactions.

Those were three occasions where I had to take the EpiPen, and without which, I don’t know what would have happened.

“For the last four years, my life has included obsessively checking the labels of food, turning down dinner dates at certain restaurants and checking to ensure that I had two EpiPens at all times.”

The EpiPen is an autoinjector of epinephrine, which helps increase blood pressure, relax muscles in the lungs and increase heartbeat.

The use of the autoinjector means instead of filling a syringe with epinephrine, which was the only option before the EpiPen, the patient can inject themself in a quick and painless matter.

EpiPens are a highly profitable source of income for Mylan, creating 50 percent of their profits in 2014.

However, the spike in prices for the product shows that this profit wasn’t enough for Mylan.

Since 2007, the price has

risen from $57 per EpiPen to $600 for a pack of two.

What makes it even more ridiculous is that the cost of epinephrine is only $1 per unit.

As college students who aren’t swimming in a pool full of spare change, this kind of price hike should make us angry. This company is unfairly putting a price on life.

After news of the upsurge spread, Mylan defended their price hike by saying that EpiPens are covered by most insurance plans. They even offered a coupon to take $100 off the cost of the medication.

The problem with this system thought is that individuals with no insurance or plans with incredibly high deductibles are increasingly likely to pay for the majority of the cost out of pocket.

While the company has promised to release a new generic form of the medication in the next few weeks, the price still stands at $300.

In theory, this is the free market. Consumer demand

determines the value of a product, and companies set the price based on that.

However, in pharmaceuticals, that demand is based on needs, not wants.

Therefore, Mylan can raise the price without losing sales because more and more people need them.

Some children and college students are lucky enough to be on their parents’ health care plans, but what about afterward? A medication shouldn’t prevent someone from being able to pay for rent or food.

We at the editorial board are thankful for EpiPens, and we are not denying that they are lifesavers.

But something has to be done to alleviate the cost for those who simply can’t afford it.

This could leave hundreds of thousands of people without a life-saving drug who are susceptible to allergens wherever they go.

In the end, it is Mylan who will have to carry the deathly burden of greed on their own back.

STEVE’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

Republicans can maintain their Senate majority The fight for control of the United States Senate is raging all across the country.

This cycle, 34 Senate seats are up for grabs, including 24 Republican and 10 Democrat seats.

Currently, the balance is 54 Republicans and 46 Democrats. With the Republicans on the defensive, national support on both sides is present.

According to Cook Politics, an organization that analyzes the vulnerability of congressional seats, there are currently nine toss-up races.

Eight of those seats are controlled by Republicans and only one by a Democrat.

The numbers look favorable for the Democrats, but I believe that the Republican Party will maintain a slight majority in the Senate.

States such as Indiana, Illinois and New Hampshire all have races garnering national attention that will affect the balance of power.

For example, Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., faces a strong challenge from Democrat Gov. Maggie Hassan.

The realclearpolitics.com aggregate poll data shows that Hassan leads by 1 point, as of Aug. 12.

This is a race that will be decided by the narrowest of margins.

In statewide elections, incumbency is a huge advantage.

Republicans definitely maintain an advantage in this category. However, in Nevada and Indiana, there is no incumbent, which makes the races even more competitive.

One major advantage the Republicans also hold is name recognition.

For example, in Florida, as is the case in many toss-up races, former GOP presidential nominee Sen. Marco Rubio dwarfs Democratic opponents Rep. Alan Grayson and Rep. Patrick Murphy. Another example is Iowa, where Sen. Chuck Grassley, who has served

five terms in the Senate, is up against Lt. Gov. Patty Judge.

However, these advantages may be cancelled out

by Donald Trump’s effect on formerly Republican voters.

The true effects of Trump’s polarizing campaign will only be known after Election Day. There is some cause for optimism, though. Recent polls show Ohio Republican Senator Rob Portman pulling ahead of Democrat Ted Strickland.

Regardless of who wins the state in the presidential election, a Portman victory would be a massive blow to the aspirations of the Democrats.

To add, Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., has decreased Democrat Katie McGinty’s lead to 1.3 points, and Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., leads Democrat Deborah Ross by 2.2 points on aggregate.

In Indiana, Republican Rep. Todd Young has decreased former senator Evan Bayh’s lead from 26

points down to seven.

If Young continues his charge at Bayh, which I think he will, it will be a very close race.

In Nevada, Republican Rep. Joe Heck has a 0.2 point aggregate lead on Catherine Cortez Masto.

Whether the Democrats or Republicans control the Senate after the dust settles, the party with control will only have a majority of a couple seats at most.

There is a real possibility that there will be fifty seats held by each side.

It’s going to go down to the wire, but I believe that the Republicans will pull it out.

Candidates such as John McCain, Rob Portman and Kelly Ayotte have been great servants to their respective states, and I hope they have the ability to continue to serve. staranyi@indiana.edu

You and I might have a bad day here and there, but Anthony Weiner has had a bad six years. The worst part is it was entirely of his own making.

When news broke Sunday that the embattled politician was involved in an extramarital sexting scandal for the third time, my first reaction was one of amused incredulity.

Add in the fact that his toddler son is lying next to him in a lewd photo, and this might be his most bewildering and cringeinducing gaffe yet. This is even stranger than the 2013 scandal, in which it was revealed he sexted women under the pseudonym “Carlos Danger.”

You know it’s beyond ridiculous when you have to refer to his sexting scandals by the year in which they occurred because there’s so many of them. You couldn’t make this up if you tried.

But once the shock of the news subsided and I tried to examine Weiner’s tragic fall from grace, I had different feelings — feelings I never expected I’d have.

Could I really feel empathy for Weiner, the same guy who embarrassed his wife and family not once or twice, but three times and squandered multiple chances to reform himself?

Weiner is a tragic figure. It’s truly a shame that a man who was once such a promising New York politician and advocate for the middle class could yet again fall victim to his own hubristic stupidity and squander his career, public image and marriage.

He was the subject of a critically-acclaimed documentary released last spring, “Weiner.” The image of him conveyed by the film as a film crew follows his path to redemption during his 2013 bid for New York City mayor isn’t one we’re used to seeing from today’s established politicians.

Instead, what you see is what you get. Weiner is brutally honest. His brash, unadulterated demeanor embodies what a New

Daniel Kilcullen is a junior in information systems and operations.

York City career politician should be. He even engages with hecklers, responding to one who called him a “real scumbag” with a sharp retort: “It takes one to know one, jackass.”

With all that he’s put himself through, how could this willingness to go toeto-toe with a heckler not inspire even a little bit of empathy for Weiner?

At this point, as a multiple offender, Weiner’s moral compass seems to be essentially non-existent. But at all points of his career, he has displayed a fiery passion for his constituents.

He’s marched in gay pride parades, advocated for LGBT rights, championed the pro-choice cause and voted for measures to protect the environment.

While his commitment to his wife and family is questionable, his commitment to public service isn’t.

Are Weiner’s offenses as egregious as those of former New York State Senator Dean Skelos, who this spring was sentenced to five years in prison on bribery, extortion and conspiracy charges?

What about those of Michael Grimm, the former U.S. Representative from Staten Island, New York, who served eight months for tax evasion and famously threatened to “break” a reporter “in half like a boy”?

I don’t think so.

Some politicians are misappropriating tax dollars and exploiting their constituents.

Weiner’s wrongdoings, while absolutely inexcusable, were confined to his own personal sphere.

Anthony Weiner could have been a great politician. Now that he’s made himself tabloid fodder for the third time, I can only hope that one day he will gain the wisdom to change his behavior and reinvent himself. dkilcull@indiana.edu @daniel_kilc_

BLOOMINGTON MAG

Trump’s words have no hidden meaning The most central and strongest image in the Trump campaign thus far has been the Wall.

It was his first and most ridiculous promise to voters, but he stands by it today.

Over the last year, some of Trump’s more prominent supporters have attempted to almost justify this promise by doubting its legitimacy as a true and physical wall.

However, they are giving Trump far too much credit.

With the increasingly intense spotlight on Trump’s immigration policy, it is important to try to clarify what he has truly meant by his promise to build the wall.

Ricky Perry, former governor of Texas and long-time Trump supporter, has suggested in the past that the wall isn’t actually intended to be a monstrous physical barrier between the U.S. and Mexico, but in fact it may be a “technological wall.”

Whatever that means.

Perry, like an eager high school student in an AP Literature class, has delved deep into Trump’s words in an attempt to unlock any potentially hidden meaning.

A digital wall could be a profound idea, which would be uncharacteristic of Trump.

A digital wall could be based some kind of intricate online platform for citizenship. It could provide jobs in informatics and — who knows — maybe even do its part to level out the gender gap in the coding industry.

But no, none of that is true.

The poet Donald Trump has not used any kind of literary device to conceal his intentions. It is all very real.

Maggie Eickhoff is a junior in international studies.

Trump has said over and over — in interviews, speeches and town halls — that the wall is a very real and very substantial construction.

Last week during a Fox News town hall, he assured us that it would not be “one of these little toys” either.

It’s not just the wall that his endorsers have tried to explain away. The mass deportation of all illegal immigrants on his first day in office that Trump has promised has gotten quite a bit of traction, as well.

Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., one of Trump’s earliest supporters in Congress and a believer in the so-called virtual wall, has doubted that the deportation will be as big and jarring as Trump has said.

Instead, Collins suggests that a “rhetorical deportation” is really what Trump meant. This would entail, to him, illegal immigrants being deported to get their documents processed to receive a work permit and citizenship.

Though, again, that level of reading into his words paints Trump as someone far more thoughtful than brash.

The idea of the deportation being rhetorical just is not true, either. Collins stated it was merely his opinion, though he remains a strong Trump supporter.

It may be nice to imagine Trump’s policy platform a little more complexly, but in the end, as one Dr. Seuss would say, he “meant what he said and he said what he meant.” meickhof@indiana.edu

Rise of third-party candidates signals a changing of the guard

Questioning the effect of more lighting on crime

I’m a Bloomington technology entrepreneur, and I’m voting for a third-party presidential candidate. Dr. Jill Stein is the Green party candidate, and Gov. Gary Johnson is the Libertarian party candidate.

Stein has my vote, but I’m also happy that others are voting for Gary Johnson and thereby abandoning the Republican and Democratic parties.

Let me share why I’m voting for Stein and why I do not buy into the reciprocal demonization narrative that feeds “lesser of two evils” voting.

A key factor in this race is that there are two “third” parties in this election, not just one.

If Stein attracts voters who would otherwise vote for Clinton, Johnson and his running mate William Weld — two former Republican governors — may plausibly take Republican voters. Two third parties have the potential to flip the vote, not spoil

the vote.

As a former teacher, I’m deeply concerned about millennials who are burdened by student debt. Stein is the only candidate who will remove current and future student debt — without Congress, through the Federal Reserve.

Let’s bail out the students like we bailed out the big banks.

Recently, the Indiana Daily Student has written about the rise of third-party candidates.

Why is support for third parties increasing?

There are many specific reasons, but the underlying reason may be that the Republican and Democratic parties are corrupt.

The Republican and Democratic parties are now minority parties, and new movements and parties are going to step into this vacuum.

No doubt many on campus are happy with Dunn’s Woods being lit at night (IDS, Aug. 25), but for others, it’s yet another sad chapter in our turning night into day across campus, the country and the world.

Yes, there have been incidents of women being accosted in Dunn’s Woods, but most have been very late at night or very early in the morning, times when walking on campus and in town

is not advised for anyone.

Those traveling east and west from Fourth Street to the area around Lindley Hall have other options beside going through Dunn’s Woods if they are intimidated by the dark.

They can walk along Third Street or along the extension of Kirkwood past Maxwell Hall, both well-lit passageways.

Studies show over and over again that, in urban ar-

eas, the higher crime rates are found in well-lit areas.

After all, evil-doers need to see what they are doing.

We are taught from a young age to fear the dark.

There’s a monster under the bed or in the closet, and boogie men are lingering in the back yard.

All we need to do is turn on lights and they mysteriously disappear.

It’s a sad commentary on our times that nere-do-wells

feel the need to molest innocent people in our town or anywhere else, but lighting up the night and turning our world into 24 hours of daylight is not the solution to the problem.

I wonder if we will see any studies comparing incidents of crime before and after the installation of LED lights in Dunn’s Woods.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Wait for facts before springing to judgment My letter to the editor concerns last Thursday’s column, titled, “At times, we should believe the victim until proven otherwise.”

To intellectually speak on this topic, it’s important to separate what we, as individuals, should do in cases like the Depp/Heard divorce from how our legal system should work in the same cases.

As a society, it would be ideal if more people would be compassionate toward potential victims instead of

jumping to conclusions when they haven’t all the evidence.

The mess that Heard has had to go through is horrible and shouldn’t be brought upon anyone. However, the idea that sometimes we need to believe what victims are saying no matter what until proven otherwise is the antithesis of American ideals.

It is not how our legal system should respond in a situation like this.

This country was founded on a Constitution that includes a Bill of Rights that

lays out a structure for what the government and its institutions can’t take away from you. It can’t take away your freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom to not be searched without warrant, to name a few.

One of those rights that the government has preserved for us, spelled out in the Fifth Amendment, is the freedom from being deprived of life, liberty or property without due process.

The idea that victims need to be believed without first

trying the potential criminal would destroy that concept.

What happened to Heard in this case was terrible, but hindsight is always 20/20.

The next time something like this happens, as a society, we should wait until more facts are brought about until decisions about someone’s integrity are made.

We should never take away someone’s presumption of innocence.

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

If done tactfully, it’s okay for anyone to create diverse characters This past week in my creative writing class, we had a discussion about authors creating characters that are of a different ethnicity, gender or sexuality from themselves.

It began with one of my classmates describing a story he wrote in which a queer character of color is the main character. My classmate is a white, straight man. Naturally, this created some questions.

What was his motivation for writing such a character?

Was his character weighed down by stereotypes?

A big question: what right did he think he had?

He answered that he just wanted to take a stab at writing from a perspective com-

pletely different from his own.

While this was an innocent and genuine attempt, it still bothered some people.

Some classmates said they believed in artistic freedom being the right we have to write diverse characters.

Other classmates argued that white men writing diverse characters takes away from the diversity.

I believe as long as a writer can create a character that embodies the identity of their subject while avoiding terrible stereotypes, then more power to them.

Writing a believable, diverse character is extremely important considering so many people are looking for

those characters to relate to.

While we have many white authors and screenwriters trying to portray characters of color or LGBT characters accurately, there are the revolutionary writers who are taking classical white characters and turning them into characters of color.

“Hamilton” created a huge splash in the musical industry with Lin-Manuel Miranda’s recreation of colonial America and its founding fathers.

The production involves a cast almost completely composed of people of color, despite the fact the historical figures the characters are based on were white.

Everybody loved it. Why?

Because it diversified a history that many people have a hard time connecting to due to lack of representation.

And the writer was a person of color.

So what do we do with this? Do we only let those who have the best experience write what they know?

Writing what you know is one of the most common pieces of advice someone can give a writer. Why is that?

Don’t we eventually get tired of hearing the same story that we have all experienced?

I definitely advocate that writers of color deserve more recognition than they have received. Too often, we give credit to white authors who

seldom include a gay character, or hell, even a woman.

People of color, the LGBT community and women should not have to depend on a white man to have their voices heard in literature, television or other types of media.

After class, I asked my professor, Samrat Upadhyay, what he thought about the discussion.

He said, “Writers need to be cautious, knowledgeable and sensitive, but they also need to take risks.”

Writing, at times, is an art that has to include tact.

Whether it be journalistic, nonfiction or fiction writing, the author should keep tact in the back of their mind at

all times.

We write because we feel strongly about a subject, and even begin to feel empathetic towards the characters we have created as well as the people we base our stories on.

It is very rare that an author goes into a project with the intent of offending a reader or indulging in stereotypes.

Authors want to share their empathetic feelings with the public in hopes of inspiring empathy within them as well. mmgarbac@indiana.edu

Harsharn Kaur, a freshman studying political science and sociology, speaks on her own personal experiences as an immigrant from Punjab, India, during the UndocuHoosier Alliance callout meeting Tuesday evening at the Latino Cultural Center. William Palomo hosted the event and aims to serve the needs of undocumented students at IU and in the Bloomington Community.

DreamIU restarts as UndocuHoosier Alliance

By Sarah Verschoor @indiana.edu @SarahVerschoor

The UndocuHoosier Alliance met for the first time Tuesday in the living room of La Casa Latino Cultural Center to establish a new club name and set specific goals for the club’s future.

The UndocuHoosier Alliance is a new club that seeks to create a community of students who entered the United States without documentation and their allies.

The club has been the culmination of the work of second year master’s student Willy Palomoand La Casa Director Lillian Casillas-Origel.

Palomo also helped organize UndocuStories, an event that featured poetry from two poets and four speakers from the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance, last March.

“After UndocuStories, there was lots of energy and urgency,” Palomo said. “We are trying to get bodies in the room to come together

to support IU and Bloomington networks.”

Palomo said the group will focus on a few top priorities, including creating an undocumented student scholarship and recruiting and visiting undocumented high school students.

“We have to support one another,” Palomo said.

About 25 potential members gathered Tuesday at La Casa.

The meeting began with an introduction from Palomo. All new members introduced themselves. There were a variety of people in attendance including faculty, undergraduate students, master’s students and Ph.D. students.

Then, the attendees divided into three groups to discuss three immediate club goals: sponsoring the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance, creating a brochure to inform undocumented students on attending college and creating a club constitution.

“We’ve got about 100

balls juggling in the air right now,” Palomo said to the group.

The UndocuHoosier Alliance then reconvened as a club, discussed their ideas for the specific areas and voted on changing the name. The club existed in 2004 as DREAMIU but was disbanded.

Senior Audrey Maston was one student in attendance. She said she was inspired to come after attending the UndocuStories panel and participating in an immersion program.

“I learned a lot in the panel discussion,” Maston said. “It’s really a human rights issue. It’s ridiculous how people are disregarded based on legal status.”

Third-year Ph.D. student Denise Ambriz was also in attendance. She said she wanted to find a way to support undocumented students at IU. “I thought the meeting went really well,” Ambriz said. “There was such a large turnout and also action.”

The Bloomington city government has the Graffiti Eradication Program in place, and the definition of graffiti they use is vandalism typically done with aerosol spray paint but also with paint markers, grease crayons and window etching fluid.

According to the program’s web page, the city divides graffiti into four categories: hip-hop, which includes many types of expression linked to hip-hop culture; ideological or hate graffiti; gang tags; and generic graffiti, a category that includes simple statements with no apparent artistic intent.

Dave Williams, operations and development director for Bloomington,said his part of this program deals specifically with parks and public spaces.

“We do have a lot of graffiti on our parks’ facilities and trails, pavements, statuary and park benches.

We have a big problem with that,” Williams said. “Our management priority is to remove it upon discovery within 24 hours.”

one wants the footage for that accident, it is not just a simple matter of turning over the video.

Certain pieces of information cannot be revealed, such as social security numbers or names of victims in more serious crimes, and all of that has to be scrubbed clean. Kellams also said that includes not just one officer’s camera footage, but all three, which is a total of nine hours of footage.

BPD officers go through every inch of that footage in order to scrub and organize it, and with the limited manpower of BPD, Kellams said the $150 fee is there just to pay officers to go through

include public works and housing and neighborhood devel opment.

To combat what the city defines as graffiti, Williams said they try to remove the message or image immediately, regardless of whether the message is positive or negative.

“A park facility, any public facility that is allowed to be tagged and does not have the graffiti removed sends a really inappropriate sign to the public that this building is not being protected,” Williams said.

According to Smith, graffiti as it has evolved in the last 40 or 50 years, is an artistic subculture and tends to take the form of a person’s tag name covering a specific area to take aesthetic ownership and making a statement to other artists that the space has been claimed.

“They’re not looking for buildings that have architectural value — they look for blank spaces, cinder block walls, things that look like they need improvement via color, via some design in some way,” Smith said.

Williams said the city has placed mural boards along trails and has collaborated with certain artists to create murals and possibly lessen instances of vandalism on public property.

Smith said he views artists working in broad daylight and creating symbols of community as distinct from the graffiti subculture.

Within Bloomington are a number of active graffiti artists, whose work goes up in both sanctioned and unsanctioned areas of town, Smith said. These are people whose work follows the graffiti artist’s ethical code of warding off vandalism and competing actively with one another, the larger graffiti artist network in the country and the open space online.

A good example of an area in which the three categories of expression — graffiti, mural and spray-painted vandalism — coexist is the B-line trail leading up to the Farmers’ Market, Smith said. This area includes one section of wall deemed sanctioned space for graffiti but also includes tag and outright vandalism not to be confused with graffiti.

“Graffiti as a form of expression or subculture activity will persist and its mechanisms will continue no matter what,” Smith said. “That’s the defining aspect, it doesn’t need sanctioning or not sanctioning for that to happen.”

that video.

“We don’t have the manpower to handle it,” Kellams said.

The storage space for that footage is also hard to come by, and Kellams said when the video is requested, it has to be kept for 99 years. Those requests mean that the video has to be maintained in a safe storage place — either on disc or possibly cloud-based storage — for a long period of time.

The cost has become so great that Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has stopped using its body cameras, Kellams said. The cost is something BPD is also considering as it plans how it is going to move forward with storage for the video footage.

Dialla said while he was uncertain on whether or not it has been helpful so far, he hopes it will provide extra accountability for officers and help safeguard the public, especially postFerguson.

“If it can do something, I’m for it,” Diallo said.

While figuring out the logistics of paying for body cameras is playing a huge factor, Kellams noted just how beneficial it is to BPD officers, even if it does not provide all the facts. On the other side of the issue, people like Diallo and Palmer worry the extra footage and visibility will not be enough to curb future violence.

“Is it everything? No, but it’s a lot more than anything we had before,” Kellams said.

David McDonald, associate professor of folklore and ethnomusicology at IU, presents a few of the bands that will perform at the Lotus festival this year. McDonald's presentation at the Monroe County Public Library on Tuesday night included samples from the lesser known bands and an overview of the festival's goals.

LOTUS FEST LOWDOWN Professor introduces Lotus Festival artists talent and backgrounds

By Katie Chrisco kchrisco@ius.edu | @katiechrisco

Festival enthusiasts gathered Tuesday night in the Monroe Public County Library Auditorium to hear David McDonald, associate professor of folklore and ethnomusicology, speak about the talent and diversity of the artists who will appear in the Lotus World Music and Arts Festival.

McDonald said he had been unfamiliar with the festival before moving to Bloomington.

“One day I left work and noticed the streets were overcome with people running around, and it was a revelation,” he said. “Since that time, Lotus has been my absolutely favorite event of the year.”

Because McDonald said it would be impossible to talk about all 33 artists who will be performing in the festival, he had to choose which artists to discuss.

McDonald said he wanted to focus the preview on some of the less-obvious musical

groups that will be performing.

“I want to kind of dig out and talk about the groups that might be new to our community and might present interesting collaborations for us to talk about,” he said. “A lot of the artists that we’re talking about they’re coming here and they’re displaying their roots, their traditional roots, and what I mean by tradition is the kind of practices they draw from the past in order to create a desired future.”

One such artist mentioned by McDonald was A-Wa, a group of three Israeli women.

“I am also excited about our performer from the Canary Islands and Mokoomba the group from Zimbabwe, Germán Lopéz,” festival Executive Director Sunni Fass said. “Those are sort of my top picks to the extent I get to hear actual music at the festival.”

Fass said she gets to hear more music towards the end of Lotus.

“That’s usually when all of the many crises and fires to put out are done and I get to actually get to turn off my walkie-talkie and go listen and enjoy some music for awhile,” she said.

Fass, alumna of the Department of Ethnomusicology, said this is the second year she organized a preview for the festival.

“When I became the director I was really trying to reach back out to that department and its always had very strong connections with Lotus and we try to build on those,” she said. “Some of the things that fascinated me as a student I think would be great for our audiences to hear.”

McDonald said the artists featured in the festival needed to be appealing to a Midwestern cosmopolitan audience.

“And for that reason you find a lot of the same types of musical structures whether that band is from Zimbabwe or Colombia or anywhere else,” he said. “Especially on the main stages you find that spectacular notion of global pop.”

McDonald said he knows he won’t be able to see all of the bands he would like to during the festival.

“It’s kind of a Zen atmosphere, and you take what you can get,” he said. “You can’t see them all.”

For decades, the idea of graffiti or street art has been frowned upon in cities like Bloomington, but local photography studio owner Steve Sheldon allows artists to use his wall as a canvas.

His studio, Steve Sheldon Photography, is located off of the intersection of East Third Street and South Swain Avenue. While Sheldon has worked here for more than 30 years, he said the street art did not come along until 2005, when a hip-hop convention came to town.

“Around February, somebody called me and said, ‘We’re having a hip-hop congress in Bloomington,’” Sheldon said. “They were going to have musical artists and graffiti artists coming in from all over the country. They asked if they could paint part of my building, so I gave them a little section of it to paint.”

A week later, a couple of artists from the area asked if they could paint another part of his building. He told them they could do whatever they wanted and this statement quickly turned his studio building into a graffiti hot spot for local artists to paint three of the four walls.

Before then, however, there were nighttime artists who would spray something quickly without his permission and flee the scene.

Sheldon said this is the only issue he has with street art.

Freshman goalkeeper wins two Big Ten awards

IU senior receiver ready for final run

IU women’s soccer freshman goalkeeper Sarah L’Hommedieu was named defensive player of the week and freshman player of the week by the Big Ten Conference on Tuesday.

The accolades came after L’Hommedieu picked up two wins while starting in net for the Hoosiers this past weekend.

On Friday night, L’Hommedieu recorded eight saves as IU won its first game of the season 1-0 at Butler.

The Ohio native made seven of her eight saves in the second half of the match L’Hommedieu and helped IU secure the road to victory in Indianapolis.

L’Hommedieu followed her Friday performance by registering six saves against Northern Colorado on Sunday afternoon, and IU won 3-0. This was the first home victory for the Hoosiers since Oct. 31, 2014.

L’Hommedieu’s shutout against Butler also came in only her second collegiate match. Her first game was IU’s season opener Aug. 19, a 1-1 draw at home against Louisville.

This is the first time in IU women’s soccer program history the same player has been selected for two weekly awards by the Big Ten. The last time the Big Ten selected the same player for both Defensive Player of the Week and Freshman Player of the Week honors was in October 2014, when Rutgers goalkeeper Casey Murphy earned both awards.

Sarah Stone was the last IU player to receive the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week award, which she earned as a senior Sept. 1, 2015.

The last Hoosier to win the Freshman of the Week award was current junior midfielder Kayla Smith on Nov. 3, 2014.

Ricky Jones’ clock is running out, and the senior Hoosier receiver said he can feel it tick while his last few months of football pass him by.

Every man reacts to this feeling differently, IU offensive coordinator Kevin Johns said.

Jones chose to make it personal.

“I don’t have much time here,” Jones said. “It’s my last go-around, my last chance to make a mark on this school, so I’m taking everything personal. Just making sure my group is the one who can lead this team.”

When Jones came to Bloomington in 2012 from Booker High School in Sarasota, Florida, the 5-foot-10 receiver went toe-to-toe with now-professional and former Hoosier receiver Shane Wynn. He earned a starting spot at slot receiver.

Not long after beginning his freshman year, however, Jones broke his ankle in practice. He was redshirted and watched the Hoosiers go 4-8 on the season. A year later, he broke the same ankle and sat on the sidelines as the Hoosiers went 5-7.

Although active throughout the 2014 campaign, his ankle injury continued to affect his performance, and IU went 4-8.

Then, in 2015, a season Johns calls Jones’ only full season, the Hoosiers went 6-6 in the regular season and advanced to their first bowl game since 2007. Jones caught 54 passes for 906 yards and five touchdowns.

Now Jones is looking ahead to what he hopes will be the best season of his career, not only in production, but also in the development of the younger receivers.

He said he remembers playing with former Hoosier receivers like Wynn and Denver Broncos receiver Cody Latimer, teammates that taught him how to approach the game. Now he’s that guy to receivers like junior Simmie Cobbs, sophomore Nick Westbrook and freshman Isaac James.

“I had to follow their rule a little bit and learn what they had been teaching,” Jones said about Latimer and Wynn. “Now I’m one of those guys teaching the younger guys. I love to see that desire in them to win.”

After Cobbs’ lucrative season as a sophomore, when he caught 60 passes for a Big Ten third-best 1,035 yards, many members of the media and the IU fan base expected the junior to be the talk of the receiving corps.

But Johns, Cobbs and IU Coach Kevin Wilson made it clear that Jones is the undisputed leader of the receiver group.

The soft-spoken senior is always first in line during drills, Johns said. He is the first to transition between drills in practice and always runs when Johns expects him to tire.

“I can see something going inside of his mind like, ‘This is my time, this is my

year, this is my group, and I’m going to show these kids this is how you do it, this is how you work,’” Johns said.

That’s not something that was absent in past seasons — Cobbs credits Jones for a lot of his mental progression before his big season in 2015 — but it’s emphasized this year as Jones enters his final stretch with IU. Now he and his teammates say they want to win a bowl game after losing the New Era Pinstripe Bowl to Duke in December. They want to win the Big Ten East, a division that features Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State.

Jones said doesn’t want his receiver group to be the one that prevents the Hoosiers from reaching their goals.

“For him, this is personal,” Johns said. “I think it’s because he wants to make sure his team, his squad, his group isn’t the one that lets this thing down.”

MENS’ SOCCER

COLUMN: Don’t get your hopes up this early in the season

IU celebrating early-season success

It was a banner weekend for the Hoosiers.

The Hoosiers went 8-1 in a three-day period across four sports. What a start to the season for field hockey, men’s soccer and volleyball and a nice rebound by women’s soccer.

But here’s the thing: it’s the beginning of the season.

I love a good #hottake as much as the next person. If I could just have a column of IU football/basketball/ everything hot takes, I totally would. But people don’t usually get my sarcasm, and as a female sports writer, I have to think twice about putting my opinion out here.

But actually, thanks for the gender-neutral name, Mom. I digress.

It seemed kind of cool that between field hockey, men’s and women’s soccer and volleyball, just one team tallied a loss. It’s early in the season, and a bad start can break a fan’s hope. Unless you’re 2015 IU football. Then you wait until mid-season, lose a 25-point lead — on Homecoming, guys — and remind us why you don’t get your hopes up early in the season.

Actually, let’s take a look at last year’s team.

IU went 4-0 for the first time in 25 years. I won’t be cynical about this — that’s really a good start. But then the Hoosiers hit the Big Ten season. Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers. Loss, loss, loss . . . and then three more conference losses.

But IU did beat conference/state/life rival Purdue. So I guess in the grand scheme of things, that’s pretty important.

My point, though, is the

early season is too soon to get one’s hopes up and anticipate amazing seasons.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a hot take or a news flash to anyone that conference play is usually significantly harder than early season play when you’re in a conference like the Big Ten. Per the most recent coaches’ polls, of the NCAA Top 25 teams for each sport, there are three Big Ten women’s soccer teams, three Big Ten field hockey teams and seven Big Ten volleyball teams — that’s half of the Big Ten in the top tier. IU men’s soccer is ahead of the curve, though, as it’s one of the four Big Ten teams in the Top 25.

Needless to say, any Big Ten team IU plays in any sport will probably present more of a challenge than the list of colleges you’ve never heard of that usually lines the tops of schedules for teams like IU. Now, I want to make one thing clear: as much of a cynic and a skeptic as I am, I’m by no means saying

From IDS reports

After starting off the season with two wins for the first time since 2012, IU moved up in the rankings while senior midfielder Tanner Thompson was recognized nationally for his play.

Record-wise, the first weekend of the regular season couldn’t have gotten much better as IU Coach Todd Yeagley and the Hoosiers started out 2-0-0. Because of that, IU has vaulted to No. 5 in both the Top Drawer Soccer poll along with the NSCAA poll. They also jumped to No. 10 and No. 11, respectively, in the College Soccer News and

Soccer America rankings.

Yeagley said the team doesn’t read into the rankings all that much, however.

“You can’t put much stock into it,” Yeagley said.

“We just want to take care of the results and if you get caught up in where you are in rankings, you’re in a place that is somewhat out of your control.”

Thompson had quite a banner weekend as well for IU tallying a game winning penalty kick Friday against New Mexico with 30 seconds left, along with providing an assist and a go-ahead goal against UC Irvine on Sunday.

The senior not only gar-

nered attention within the Big Ten but also nationally as he was named Top Drawer Soccer’s Player of the Week, the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week and was named to College Soccer News’s Team of the Week.

“It’s nice, and it’s an honor, but I focus on what I can do between the touchlines,” Thompson said. “It’s a nice thing, but I don’t want to focus on it too much.”

The Hoosiers now will get set for the Adidas/IU Credit Union Classic this weekend at home where IU will matchup against No. 22 Cal and No. 15 Stanford.

these teams won’t be successful this season.

Men’s soccer has a prestigious past, and they are ranked in the Top 25 for a reason. Volleyball very well could make it to the NCAA Tournament with the attitude IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan has helped them form. Field hockey comes off its best season in years, and it’s entirely possible for them to one-up their 9-10 season last year.

Women’s soccer is already two thirds of the way to matching its number of wins in 2015.

These teams do have the potential to have successful seasons. It will be significantly harder to finish each weekend 8-1 as the season progresses, but it’s not impossible.

It’s still August, and we’ve got a lot of games left to play. jzega@indiana.edu @jzegss

In past years, Mathers Museum of World Cultures has put on events and programming related to the fall semester’s College of Arts and Sciences Themester. This year, they are taking on the complex theme of beauty.

The museum will be host to a full scope of events Thursday exploring various topics both related to and separate from Themester.

Jason Jackson, director of the museum, said it will be a big day for Mathers. The fes-

as long as nothing is offensive. He said he likes to look at street art, not necessarily because of the art itself, but because of what goes into it.

“To watch them paint is incredible, they have a real skill doing it,” he said.

Graffiti artists tend to be stereotyped as vandals, but

through the artwork on his building, Sheldon said he realized they are something else entirely.

“All of them are really nice people, are students, have jobs of their own and have never gotten in trouble with the law while painting,” Sheldon said.

tivities will start in the morning with opportunities to learn from visiting Indiana folk artists in residence.

Viki Graber, a basket maker; John Bundy, a decoy carver; John Bennett, an expert in blacksmithing; and Greg Adams, a willow furniture maker, will present their work with demonstrations beginning at 10:30 a.m.

One of Jackson’s colleagues will ask the artists questions during the narrative stage portion, beginning at 11:45 a.m.

“It’s a really interesting opportunity for students to come up and talk to them,” Jackson said. “If I were teaching any class, I would bring the stu-

dents here.”

Mathers will also have demonstrations as part of the First Thursdays Festival, an initiative of the Arts and Humanities Council. The festival includes activities at the Eskenazi Museum of Art, Lilly Library, the School of Fine Arts and more, taking place in the center of campus.

Beginning at 5 p.m., Mathers will have a tent set up next to Woodburn Hall with the same visiting artists demonstrating their crafts.

“Siyazama: Traditional Arts, Education and AIDS in South Africa” takes its title from a Zulu word meaning “we are trying.” The exhibit explores the association be-

“What is so beautiful about the arts, and our musical theater class especially, is that we are so much more diverse than many other groups of people out there,” said Broderick Balsley of South Bend, Indiana.

While in other programs such levels of diversity are never reached, Balsley said his classmates celebrate the differences between them.

“No matter race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, our class is more than willing to accept you and love you for who you are,” he said. “We have a plethora of minorities within our band of freshman BFAs, just about every minority you can think of.

Beyond the basic demographics, members of the freshmen class also said they see promise in the diversity of skills their fellow classmates have to offer, and they intend to use that diversity as a learning tool.

“Our freshman class is extremely diverse in terms of our performance styles,” said Katie Swaney of Greenwood, Indiana. “Some of us are better singers, some are incredible dancers and some are interested in costuming and lighting — it just varies with every person.”

This semester, IU Theatre will present the musical “Jesus Christ Superstar,” which ran on Broadway with a cast of varying racial and ethnic backgrounds.

In addition to the cast’s visual differences, the show ma opening at 7 p.m. tomorrow will also have a chance to see “Costume: Beauty, Meaning and Identity in Dress,” a photographic series exploring the power of costumes in communicating beauty, and “Hózhó: Navajo Beauty, Navajo Weavings.”

The theme of beauty is one that Jackson, who is also on the committee for Themester, said inspires necessary dialogue on a topic that is often left undiscussed.

By creating a class of differences, both in aesthetics and in capabilities, the department can count on students who match the diversity of these roles and characters.
