In “Color of conscience,” junior Leah Johnson comes to terms with her identity as both a black woman and as an American. “I think a lot of times humanity is lost between people because we don’t identify shared experiences.”
Color of conscience By Leah Johnson | leadjohn@indiana.edu | @byleahjohnson
In the days after Ferguson, when the tear gas clouded the city, I burned with an anger I knew too well. “Here goes another one,” I told my roommates. Amadou Diallo. Trayvon Martin. Kendrec McDade. Oscar Grant. John Crawford. Eric Garner. Now Michael Brown’s name had been added to the list of stolen black lives. As I watched the footage of protesters staring down the armored vehicles, I could barely sit still. I was angry at the police for shooting down another unarmed black teenager and leaving his body in the street for four hours. At TV commentators for calling Brown a thug. At myself for feeling powerless, for not getting in my car and driving to Missouri to join the protests. Every time I got on Facebook and Twitter, I encountered white people who would never understand. They said that a black man’s election to the White House proved that racism was over in this country. They insisted that Brown’s death was not racial, that the protesters shouldn’t be complaining. How dare these people dictate to us what was and was not justifiable rage? “Walk 400 years in our shoes,” said a friend of mine, “and then see if you have to ask why our feet hurt.” * * * The two sides of my identity are at

war. I’m an American, so the justice system is designed to protect me. But I’m a black person, too, which means that same justice system is killing me. For years, I have struggled to reconcile this dual identity. W.E.B. DuBois called it double consciousness. In “The Souls of Black Folks,” DuBois puts it like this: “It is a peculiar sensation, this doubleconsciousness, this sense of always looking at oneself through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his two-ness, an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.” Where, then, does that leave me? I’m 20 years old, and I’m already tired. * * * My backstory is not tragic. The fact is, I grew up in a bubble. I was born and raised on the west side of Indianapolis, in a predominantly white, working-class neighborhood, not far from the Speedway, nestled
safely between the suburbs and the hood. The bubble wasn’t just geographic. My mother, whose dad was in the Army, had spent much of her life outside of the continental United States and had barely experienced the racial tensions of the 1960s and 1970s. As I grew up, race wasn’t a huge part of the family dialogue. Mom told me that on a military base, folks rarely saw color. They were all too busy just trying to get by. That was the way I learned to see the world, without the need to divide everything into black and white. I was proud of being African-American, but it didn’t define me. I knew that I was more than the color of my skin. My real education on how the rest of the world saw race began during my senior year of high school. I was 17, and my best friends and I were hunting for prom dresses. We drove to a nearby neighborhood, cushier than ours, to visit a shop called Bare Necessities Bridal. We walked in, the only customers in the store, excited to be together and to try on fancy dresses. I was determined to find something that made me look like Gabrielle Union. I didn’t usually dress

A white-haired woman, super old to my teenage eyes, sat on a stool near the back. She didn’t greet us. She didn’t speak a word until 10 minutes later, when I picked up a white dress that looked just like the gown Hilary Duff wore in “A Cinderella Story.” The woman walked toward me and eased the dress out of my hands. “Don’t you want to try on something else — something less SEE JOHNSON, PAGE 3

Art, humanities funding to continue By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

P.Q. Phan, Jacobs School of Music associate professor of music composition, composed an opera based on Vietnamese folktale, drawing national attention to the opera, the Jacobs School of Music and IU. The New Frontiers in the Arts and Humanities program funded the composition of the opera, said Faith Hawkins, program director for the New Frontiers in the Arts and Humanities. The Bicentennial Strategic Plan recently proposed that IU continue the program, which funds arts and humanities projects, until the bicentennial. “There’s only a very small portion of funding to support artists’ and humanists’ work,” Hawkins said. “The National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Health have billions and billions of dollars for funding of science. “In contrast, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities have really tiny funding amounts.” That’s where the New Frontiers in the Arts and Humanities program steps in, Hawkins said. This year, the program will award grants through four distinct-funding programs, according to IU’s Research Gateway website. New Frontiers of Creativity and Scholarship
LGBTQ project promotes equality By Molly Grace mograce@indiana.edu | @mollograce
LGBTQ students at IU will soon have the opportunity to address bullying against their community by going back to their own high schools. This will be part of a different type of homecoming for the students. Project Homecoming, a new initiative from the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services, aims to improve the environment in which children learn and grow. The project will address harassment in high schools, offer insight into ways that schools can provide informational materials to the school to help educate teachers and students. Same-sex marriage has become legal in 32 states, including Indiana, and many others are poised to join them. IU is Largely considered to be one of the most gay-friendly campuses in the country, according to Campus Pride, a nonprofit organization that works to promote a safe college environment for LGBTQ students. 81.9 percent of students who identify as LGBTQ were bullied in 2010 because of their sexual orientation, according to a National School Climate Survey in 2011.
The plan for Project Homecoming is to have student volunteers open up a dialogue with their high schools and start discussing what can be done to improve the LGBTQ experience at each specific school. From there, students and the schools can take it where they feel it needs to go. The project’s openended structure allows students the freedom to cater their work to their specific high school. It also personalizes each plan. This could mean working with the school on getting instructional or informational materials on the shelves in the school library or helping to establish a Gay-Straight Alliance at the school. Additionally, it could also mean addressing harassment or even hosting a panel discussion on sexuality at school and talking about their personal experiences. “Every student would have to determine in conversation with the school what is the best approach: ‘What do you need, and how can I be of help to you?’” GLBTSSS Coordinator Doug Bauder said. Bauder said he believes because students are now coming out earlier, universities such as IU are in a good position to provide resources and help
reduce sexuality-based harassment. “When this office opened in 1994, this was the time when students came out,” Bauder said. “Students were waiting until they came to college to announce this part of themselves. Well that’s now happening much younger.” Because students are coming out at younger ages, Bauder said it is beneficial to have advocates within their high schools, which is where Project Homecoming would enter the picture. “At the moment, one of the biggest bullying problems in schools in Indiana is LGBTQ and perceived LGBTQ status,” said Barbara Dennis, associate professor at the School of Education. “That’s been a documented large problem in Indiana schools.” Dennis is involved with GLBTSSS and has served on the GLBT incident team, which deals with campus harassment issues. She is currently involved in taking this project to the next level. “I applied for a grant in the School of Education, which supports doing research that can make changes to K-12 schooling,” Dennis said. “It is an action-research oriented project and really critical and participatory.” Dennis received a small
amount of money from the grant for the project. Part of her role in the project is to accompany students on their trips back to their high schools and conduct research and gather data. The project is still in its early stages, and Bauder and Dennis are in the process of looking for students who are interested to get involved. They aren’t looking for anything specific, they are looking for students to get involved in any way they can. “I’m really excited to be a part of the students creatively reflecting and doing something about their past experiences,” Dennis said about the project. “I think we don’t often get that opportunity, and it’s a kind of scary one, but also there’s some really cool potential that could be really empowering. It could be kind of freeing, could bring some resolution to things,” Dennis said. Looking to the big picture, Dennis said she hopes working with high schools and bringing attention to these issues will bring forth change. “I really want research and projects like this to ultimately bring about schools which are safe and supportive and inclusive environments for all the children we have in this country,” Dennis said.

School of Informatics to offer big data master’s degree From IDS reports
The IU School of Informatics and Computing announced the addition of a new master’s degree. The data science degree program will welcome its inaugural group of students in January, according to an IU press release. The program will capitalize on the existing breadth of research about the topic within the school and will include courses in computer science, informatics, information science, library science and statistics. Students will be able to customize their programs by choosing either a technical or the decision-making track. A major reason for the creation of the degree is a growing market for big data jobs, according to the University. “This program will produce well-prepared graduates who will provide a competitive advantage to companies and organizations across Indiana and throughout the nation,” said Bobby Schnabel, dean of the School of Informatics and Computing, in the release. Students can also choose
whether to complete the 30-credit program online, on campus or through a combination of the two options. Through the hybrid option, students will be able to complete their first year online and their second year on the IUBloomington campus. Additional course sequences will be offered for students seeking to pursue careers in specific domains such as health and cybersecurity. The courses will be offered in four broad areas. Data analysis and statistics courses will train students to develop and extend algorithms and teach analysis and visualization techniques. Data life cycle courses will teach students about the life cycle of data, including data preservation. Data management and infrastructure courses will provide students with the ability to manage and support projects involving big data. The degree will build on the existing online big data degree that will enter its second year in January. Anna Hyzy

Students scare at IMU event By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali
As the preparation for All Hallows Eve begins, many college students try to find the most terrifying activities in an attempt to get a scream out of themselves and their fellow peers. On Thursday from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., Union Board hosted their “Haunted Union” event. Located on the first floor of the Indiana Memorial Union, the University Club was transformed from its normally dignified appearance to a spooky Halloween spectacular, haunted house and all. This event was free and open to all students in addition to the Bloomington community. Activities included a pumpkin decorating station,

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 expensive, maybe? You wouldn’t want to get it dirty, after all.” I didn’t know what to say. My friends and I walked out. My next lesson came the following summer, just before I left for college. I played on an ultimate frisbee team with my big brother. It was fun. Every week, Jon and I made the half-hour drive to practice on the southern outskirts of Indy. I didn’t pay much attention to the fact that we were the only two black folks out there. Not just on our team, but in the entire league. Coming off of my senior year at Ben Davis High, I was used to being a black face in a sea of white. I had won trophies in debate, performed in show choir and played varsity tennis for four years straight. Like ultimate frisbee, none of these ranked high on the list of stereotypically black activities. I didn’t care. One day on the ultimate frisbee fields, a man in a pickup truck drove by and shouted out the window at me and my brother. Just like a sportscaster announcing a score, he yelled “Niggers!” Nobody else on the team seemed to hear it, or maybe they were too scared to say anything. Jon and I just looked at each other. We didn’t stop the game. We didn’t head home early. We didn’t even talk about it afterward. The moment got filed away, never to be spoken of again. This was the first time I had ever been called that word. I wish I could say that eventually it stopped hurting. I wish I was strong enough to never think back to what that woman said to me in that dress shop. But once these judgments were slung at me, I couldn’t unhear them. There was no returning to the bubble. It never goes away, that knowledge that to some people, my brother and my friends and I will always be subhuman. And that is a feeling I can’t shake.
an interactive haunted house built by Union Board members and a variety of festive fall snacks for everyone to enjoy throughout the event. Lindsey Rector, a junior serving as the assistant director for campus unity on Union Board, was the head of the event. It was her first time planning this particular Halloween celebration, although Union Board has sponsored many related events similar to this one in past years. Last year was the first time this event was hosted by Union Board. Jaclyn Bales, another assistant director on Union Board, was the head of the planning process. Although this event was held in the past, Rector had creative freedom to make the event her own. “I was free to do whatever I
* * * Once I woke up, I began to think back to other things people had said to me since I was a little girl. All my life, some of them had been calling me the Nword without ever really saying it. Every time someone told me I “spoke well” or told me that I was “pretty for a black girl,” I was being handed a compliment shrouded in prejudice. Qualifiers always hung over my success. I couldn’t just be the smartest kid in the room; I was the smartest black kid in the room. I wasn’t beautiful. Again and again, I was told I was beautiful in spite of my skin color. These thinly veiled insults came from folks who should have known so much more about me than my race. The pastor’s wife. Friends from kindergarten. That guy in my junior year AP English class who was surprised that I’d actually read the assigned chapters. “Ugh, black people are the worst!” he said. “Not you, though, Leah. You’re not like the others.” Getting props for my speaking skills stopped feeling good. Being pretty for a black girl stopped being cute. And when I started telling these people that their compliments weren’t compliments at all, I became the bad guy. It wasn’t until I listened to Kanye West’s last album that it really started to click. He has this record called “Blood on the Leaves.” The track features an eerie sample of a Billie Holiday song from 1939. The name of it is “Strange Fruit.” One day I got on Rap Genius and learned that “Strange Fruit” was inspired by a poem about a lynching. One that had happened in Marion, Ind., less than a twohour drive from where I’d grown up. In 1930, three young black men were accused of robbery, rape and murder. That evening, without trial, two of those boys were beaten to death, their bodies dragged through town and strung up as the town of Marion stood and watched. One
wanted to do,” Rector said. About fifty participants partook in the activities and haunted house experience. One of the major highlights was the volunteer interaction in the haunted house. There were ten student volunteers from Union Board and friends of members. Their main task was to scare the people walking through the house. Dressed as bloody zombies, participants jumped out at unexpected times and spooked many, adding to the true meaning of Halloween. “I am personally very afraid of haunted houses and scary stuff in general,” Rector said. “I hope I made an experience that will scare others.” The University club was split up into two levels. The first floor had a craft area, pumpkin painting tables and
was spared. His name was James Cameron. A woman called out over the crowd, pleading for his life and stopping the execution. Later, Cameron proclaimed that it was the voice of the Virgin Mary. The next day, photographs of the lynching were sold on the courthouse steps for 50 cents a piece. * * * It’s been months since Ferguson, and the story has stopped being sexy. At some point after Michael Brown’s death, we decided another life claimed in a string of police brutality wasn’t important enough to cover anymore. Your best friend stopped retweeting the social justice bloggers and your cousin started pressing mute when the evening news came on. And at some point, I was supposed to stop being so angry. Another black man was killed three weeks ago, and I couldn’t even work up the will to cry. His name was Vonderrit D. Myers Jr. He was shot eight times by an off-duty police officer. His story, like so many others, will fade with time. I sat behind my computer and read the 101st comment telling me to get over it and the 6001st post reminding me, once again, that Obama sitting in the Oval Office meant that racism is over. The cycle of ignorance never seems to end. For the rest of my life, I will be fighting for my right, my children’s right and my children’s children’s right to be treated like a human being. We should be further along than this. The list should have stopped growing. Another funeral for another teenager shouldn’t have just come and gone. I shouldn’t have to wake up every morning and worry for the survival of my family, my friends and myself because our only crime is being black in a country that fears us. But I do. Nothing in this world exhausts me more.
refreshments. The second floor had one room devoted to the haunted house. “I’m scared of haunted houses so I came to face my fears,” freshman Sydney Mitchell said. The majority of the crowd was freshmen looking for a Halloween event that didn’t have a largely scary aspect to it. The campus unity department of Union Board was given this event to spearhead. The department focuses on bringing together a community on campus, especially for those students who no longer live on campus. Campus unity tries to create events that everyone has the opportunity to attend. “I wanted to make an event that people could come to that didn’t have to be a party,” Rector said.
The film “Pretty Faces” will screen at the BuskirkChumley Theater at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Hosted by Paoli Pro Shop, this screening will act as a preseason warm-up for the upcoming winter sports season. Tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for students and children. “A ski or snowboard film gets people excited for the upcoming season,” said Roger Sabotka, manager of Paoli Pro Shop. Paoli Pro Shop, which is located in the lodge of the Paoli Peaks Resort lodge, is about an hour away from Bloomington. Sabotka said he wanted to bring the event to Bloomington because Bloomington has a large skiing community and Paoli Peaks is the closest ski resort to the city. “Pretty Faces” is a documentary-style film that puts the spotlight on women who “thrive in the snow,” according to its website. Sabotka said the women featured are among the top 1 percent of skiers. These women are the best of the best. The concept for the film came from professional “big mountain” skier and SheJumps co-founder, Lynsey Dyer, according to the film’s website. The objective was to give women and girls, regardless of age, a “source of inspiration through a unique look at what is possible when boundaries are broken, dreams captured and friendships cultivated.” Dyer is quoted on the website saying, “I wanted to give young girls something positive to look up to ... I wanted to give them their Blizzard of Ahhs, Ski Movie or High Life but done in a way that also shows the el-
“I wanted to give young girls something positive to look up to ... I wanted to give them their Blizzard of Ahhs, Ski Movie or High Life but done in a way that also shows the elegance, grace, community and style that is unique to women in the mountains.” Lynsey Dyer, skier and She-Jumps co-founder
egance, grace, community and style that is unique to women in the mountains.” This is the fourth year that Paoli Pro Shop has hosted the film screening. The reasoning behind the choice of film was the fact that the film concentrates on female athletes. “We’re excited about that,” he said. “It’s not too often that you see all females.” That all-female cast is a change, he said, as most of the films feature only men as the athletes. This type of casting in winter sport media does not accurately reflect the community of athletes. It isn’t only men that ski and snowboard, Sabotka said. Sabotka noted that many women on staff at his store are active skiers and snowboarders. However, it doesn’t change the fact that out of the people he sees during the winter sport season, the ratio between men and women remains uneven. Generally, he said the ratio is 70 percent male to 30 percent female. Sabotka said he hopes this screening will help to inspire women to change those numbers. “We like to promote female participation,” he said.

Voters to use new online check-in By Ike Hajinazarian ihajinaz@indiana.edu | @_IkeHaji
Tuesday’s elections will be the first general elections in Monroe County to utilize the new ePollbook system, which aims to facilitate voter check-in. Before the ePollbook, the system of keeping track of people who had registered to vote and people who had voted early was all paper-based. Monroe County Clerk Linda Robbins is highly supportive of the new system. “ePollbook is the greatest invention since sliced bread,” Robbins said. During the old system, one list, the poll list, contained the names of all the people in the precinct who were eligible to vote. Another list, the signature list, had the signatures of all the precinct’s registered voters to be compared with a signature on Election Day to verify identity. Then three more lists were printed, the A-, B- and C-lists. The A-list contained the names of early voters who had voted through the Friday prior to Election Day. The B-list contained everyone who voted between that time and the halfday Monday before the election. The C-list came in on Election Day through the mail. This paper system caused extraneous work for the poll workers the morning of Election Day. “It was a bottleneck from Hades,” Robbins said. If someone voted on Election Day, and it was later discovered that the person had also voted early, one of the votes would have to be pulled. The number of voters also had to be matched up at the end of the night between lists. “ePollbook is the poll list, signature list, and A-, B- and C-lists all wrapped up into one,” Robbins said. The electronic poll book, manufactured by the national company ES&S, is leased by Monroe County. The lease is for three years because technology changes so frequently,
Robbins said. The barcode on the back of the voter’s driver’s license can be scanned to bring up information electronically, so poll workers don’t have to go through pages to find it. A copy of their signature from voter registration is also available. The voter then signs a card reader and poll workers make sure there’s a “reasonable match” between the signature in the system and the signature on the pad. Sherry Morris is one of the people who trains poll workers who will be using the machines. “It saves time, it is very user-friendly with onscreen instructions and no longer do they have to flip big pages to find a voter to even check them in — it’s simply on a little screen that’s maybe eight inches by eight inches,” Morris, a deputy clerk in the Clerk’s office, said. The new system made a “huge difference” in the primary election, Robbins said. If someone has voted early, it’s already marked that they have voted. “It’s faster for the voter, it’s way easier for the poll worker, and it automatically keeps track of the tallies of how many voters have come in and voted,” Morris said. Clerks were happier because they didn’t have to do all the cumbersome work involved with the old paper lists. “The only thing I heard from the poll workers in the primary is that they loved them as well,” Ruth Hickman, Monroe County Elections Supervisor, said. Robbins said that there were no complaints during the primary elections associated with the machines, and there was no longer the “nightmare at the end of the day” associated with all of the clerical work necessary to wrap up an election. The ePollbooks even helped after the primary election. “For every person who votes, we had data entry after the election, and that doesn’t occur now,” Robbins said.

Seven youth and adult teams will launch pumpkins with slingshots and trebuchet creations at the ninthannual Bloomington Pumpkin Launch this Saturday. “This is the second year at the fairgrounds,” Community Events Coordinator Bill Ream said. “We’ve got a lot of room out there, and it makes for a good event site.” The event will consist of four rounds of distance shooting and four rounds of accuracy shooting, Ream said, during which teams
Therapeutic massage and mindful yoga provide many health benefits, and are excellent additions to your wellness lifestyle. At Touchstone, you’ll find a comfortable setting and caring atmosphere to support the wellness lifestyle you are creating. Mon. - Fri.: 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. Sat.: 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. Sun.: 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Pumpkin launch 11 a.m. Saturday, Fairgrounds at 5700 W Airport Road to the north and people are looking to the west,” Ream said. “The pumpkins aren’t coming right toward them. They’re going past.” The event will also feature food vendors, games and an inflatable obstacle course, according to the city’s website. Wonderlab Museum of Science, Health and Technology, which is partnering with the city, will teach kids about the science behind pumpkin launching. Gates open at 11 a.m. Saturday on the fairgrounds at 5700 W. Airport Rd. in Bloomington.
Judge candidates discuss platforms By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu
Nov. 4 is fast approaching. On the ballot this Tuesday are three seats on the Monroe County Circuit Court bench. The county circuit court is made up of nine judges. Circuit court judges are responsible for varied legal cases in Monroe County and serve six-year terms. Here are the five candidates running to be on the Monroe County Circuit Court bench. Information was compiled through interviews and candidates’ websites.
Alphonso Manns (D) Manns said in a written statement that he is a veteran of both the United States Army and the U.S. Navy reserve. Manns said he is active in the Bloomington community. He has served on the executive board of Monroe County Bar Association, Monroe County NAACP and Cry of the Children Inc. “I have practiced law for over 33 years in state and
federal courts, including civil and criminal cases,” Manns said in the statement. “My career has been a path to knowledge, experience, wisdom and justice.” Kenneth Todd (R) Originally from Rush County, Ind., Todd has served on the bench in Monroe County for 36 years. Todd is a veteran of the U.S. Air force, in which he served as an attorney. Todd said his long-time service on the bench qualifies him for another term at Division III. “I do have quite a substantial body of work in which people can judge me in the performance of my duties here,” Todd said. “I have an extended record of experience which lends it self well to the job.” DIVISION IV Elizabeth Cure (D) Cure, who is finishing her first term as Division IV judge, is running unopposed. A 1973
alumna of IU, Cure worked as a teacher in Indianapolis and Mexico before beginning her legal career. “I always wanted to be a judge,” Cure said. “I thought I would be good at it. I have a variety of different life experiences.” Cure has an advanced degree in theoretical linguistics in addition to her law degree. Cure also said she can speak several languages. DIVISION VIII Valeri Haughton (D) Incumbent Division VII judge Haughton is seeking her second term on the bench in Monroe County. Haughton earned her law degree at the University of Iowa. Before her career in law, Haughton worked as a mental health counselor. Cure said she should be re-elected because of her experience working as both a prosecutor and as a defense lawyer, as well as her experiences in mental health work. “I was exposed to, of course, a whole range
of people of different backgrounds and socioeconomic backgrounds,” Haughton said of her career as a mental health counselor. Haughton said in addition to her legal knowledge, her background has given her experience with people and resolving conflicts. Karen Wyle (R) Originally from Connecticut, Wyle is a graduate of Harvard Law School. Wyle currently works as an appellate attorney at the Karen A. Wyle Law Office in Bloomington. Wyle said her experience working on appeals qualifies her for the Monroe County bench. “I have developed some ideas about how the process can be less frustrating, less confusing, less messy and less expensive than it otherwise might be,” Wyle said. “And I think that’s a worthy goal, and that is a lot of what has inspired me to get into this campaign.” Wyle said if she is elected judge, she would streamline the court process to make it more efficient.
Indianapolis to deploy new fleet of electric vehicles From IDS reports

Many teams recycle their launchers from the year before and will bring extra pumpkins to practice in the breaks between rounds, Ream said. Team registration is over, but Monroe County residents can bring a lawn chair to watch the launch, which starts at noon. Brown County bluegrass band the White Lightning boys will play live music from 11:15 a.m. to the time of the launch. Cars and spectators will be well out of the flight path, Ream said. The launch site is on the opposite side of the fairgrounds from the parking lot, and people will watch the launch from a safe distance. “The teams are shooting

can choose to shoot at targets like hay bales or a scarecrow. Team Rocket Puzzle Piece and Cub Scout Pack 190 will compete against each other in the 16 years and younger category, according to a city press release. However, Washington High School Engineering Club is unopposed in the high school and college student division. The adult division will see more competition, with four teams signed up: Farfunflinger, The Super Hexagon, Chuck N’ Duck and the Tetanus Express. “That’s a little bit higher than we’ve had,” Ream said. “Since I’ve been doing it, we’ve had from four to eight normally.”
Indianapolis will look a little greener come 2016 when it deploys the nation’s largest municipal fleet of electric vehicles, according to a press release from the City of Indianapolis. The vehicles are part of a new program directed by
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard aimed at helping to reduce the country’s oil dependency and save taxpayers millions. “This is a landmark step in revitalizing our aging fleet and replacing expensive internal combustion engine vehicles with cutting-edge EV (electric vehicle) technology,”
Ballard said in the release. The initiative also includes a partnership with Vision Fleet, which is a full-service accelerator of large-scale alternative fuel vehicle adoption in the United States. Vision Fleet was able to create a finance structure capable of keeping the rate of the plan’s integration
lower than the cost of Indy’s gasoline sedans. The fleet will include 100 percent electric models and plug-in hybrids. In addition, Indy will replace 100 vehicles by the end of 2014 and 425 vehicles by 2016, according to the release. Brian Seymour

Fear not STEPHEN KROLL is a senior in journalism.
JESSICA KARL is a sophomore in English.
It’s 2 a.m. on a Friday and you’ve consumed one too many Long Island iced teas at Kilroy’s Sports Bar. Your mind is spinning, and a little voice whispers in your head and urges you to go to Taco Bell. So you agree with your intoxicated logic, corral your friends together and venture to T-Bell, the holy grail of drunk food. The distance from Sports to Taco Bell is about 72 feet. During the walk, you usually take a Snapchat or two, swipe right on Tinder when you should have swiped left and yik a few yaks. But now, you can be far more productive in those 72 steps. On Tuesday, the Taco Bell Mobile Ordering App was released. What’s better than fast food? Faster fast food. Jokes aside, the idea of mobile ordering is a great innovation. Although many fast food companies claim they present food to customers in an orderly manner, most do not. Whether it’s due to a lack of staff or a lack of resources, I don’t know. But with this app, it gives the consumer an easy experience by only saying a few words to the cashier. It attends to our on-thego lifestyles where we are constantly on our phones. That being said, it’s slightly disconcerting that this is the future our world is heading in. People enjoy the limited human interaction — texting rather than calling, using Google docs as group meetings and now ordering food on an app instead of ordering in person. But technology isn’t old news. It’s reality, and it’s pretty awesome. The entire industry will probably adopt Taco Bell’s new app system because it’s a huge advancement as well as a convenience to customers. The commercial advertising the new ordering app speaks of menu anxiety. I’m not sure if this is a medical condition that can be cured in therapy, but it’s out there. People get nervous when deciding what to choose to order from a vast menu while there are a bunch of cars waiting behind them in the drive-thru. I can picture kids going up to the professor in class saying, “Sorry my paper is gonna be late, I had menu anxiety last night. I was in line for a half hour at Taco Bell trying to decide between the triple steak burrito and the volcano taco.” But have no fear. The app allows customers to avoid this pandemonium and turn in their assignments on time. It gives people the ability to place a customized order before they even walk through the door. Ironically, the marketing route Taco Bell took to promote the app was to turn off all social media sites and “go dark” on Tuesday. In Apple’s App Store, user Jdogkennison gave the app five stars and thanked God “for hearing the prayers of many since George Washington first prayed there would be a mobile ordering app after his final charge in battle. He died with a Cinnabon delight in his mouth, smiling and thanking God for the opportunity to have known such perfection.” Retweet. Truly, this app has been a divine gift from God. The taco evolution is real, and the Taco Bell Mobile Ordering App is the Big Bang. Let’s face it. For IU students this app is sweeter than the crunchy cinnamon twists. jlkarl@indiana.edu

The $80 million loss WE SAY: Fiscal responsibility shouldn’t hurt us Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has received some intense and welldeserved criticism throughout the past several weeks for subtly nixing Indiana’s bid for a federal preschool grant that could have brought the state up to $80 million throughout the next four years. The most furious condemnations have come from a host of early childhood learning advocates, a group to which Pence claims to belong. The only shadow of an explanation he has provided thus far is that such an immense aid package would imply a lack of faith in a more conservative $10 million preschool program he successfully passed earlier this year. It’s no secret that Indiana’s public schools are struggling financially, to put the situation mildly. Many, if not most, school systems across the state are grievously underfunded, and Pence’s decision to kill this grant simply because he didn’t want his own project to be overshadowed is simply outrageous.
While it is true that the number of schools who receive an F rating from the Department of Education has been on a slight decline since 2010, that hardly seems like a reason to turn away $80 million that would support, among other things, early childhood literacy. Early childhood literacy is considered a key component to a child’s success, both in school and in life. In March 2013, the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research published a study that showed that “children 4 to 5 years of age who are read to three to five times a week are six months ahead of their peers in terms of reading acumen.” In a 1991 Boyer study, kindergarten teachers reported that 35 percent of the children who arrive to their classes are unprepared to learn due to lack of exposure to educational precursors. Preschool also carries scores of economic benefits, from employing more teachers to allowing
parents to work while their children are at school. Especially for low-income families, preschool is a crucial aspect of daily life because one or both parents may not be able to afford childcare and therefore are unable to work. Ultimately, preschool is essential and Pence was wildly irresponsible to simply blow off a chance to receive $80 million to help children and their families learn, grow and succeed. Indiana lost out on an incredible opportunity when Pence made the wrong decision. His weak defense of his poor choices simply highlighted his inadequacy even further. When asked to explain his rationale, Pence said, “It was a tough call. But when you sit behind this desk, most of the decisions fall in that category.” On behalf of all the children across the state of Indiana, here’s hoping most of his future decisions don’t fall into the fumble category.

Religious conversation needs to be accessible The Veritas Forum this past Tuesday at the IU Auditorium was quite an intriguing and interesting event. The question it posed to audiences was “Is faith in God reasonable?” However, I believe the entire discussion was largely lacking in accessibility to a common audience. Though, indeed, it is necessary to get down to the finer points of philosophy to discuss whether religion is compatible with science, as well as a multitude of other topics, if the goal of the forum was to encourage discussion, it did not succeed. There’s a simple reason why it did not. Namely, the audience. In order to understand the importance of the points the discussants were making, the audience would have to have a basic back-
ground in philosophy. This is especially true in order to define the standards by which to judge the validity of certain belief systems. And I don’t mean to suggest people should have a background in philosophy. I wouldn’t wish philosophy upon anyone who wants to remain relatively sane. But this hampered the audience’s ability to gain anything of practical value from the discussion. From what I gathered of the several complaints I heard while walking out of the IU Auditorium, people wanted to experience a wider-ranging discussion, rather than one focusing on the minutiae. Of course, the minutiae are important because that is where real arguments do their work, but this would
have been a better discussion between two friends in large leather armchairs rather than in front of an undergraduate audience looking for something to talk about. Or, perhaps that’s simplifying it some. Perhaps the audience was looking for a reason why they should believe what they believe. Namely, what are the merits of believing in religion and the merits of not believing in religion? In a sense, perhaps the audience wanted to amass more evidence for why their points of view are right because the religious wing will claim that belief is rooted in faith. Faith is a largely amorphous concept, and there is no real way to prove it. You just have to have it. Similarly, the nonreligious wing will claim that faith is ridiculous because there is no

empirical evidence supporting it. It’s entirely subjective. These are the usual arguments, and people wanted fuel for that, not to get down to the nitty-gritty assumptions on which their beliefs are based. The Veritas Forum was great for what it was, but it shouldn’t claim to inspire discussion or, more specifically, productive conversation. It was inaccessible for what it claimed to do and, based on what I heard when leaving, many others agree. allenjo@indiana.edu

There are a lot of things you could be scared about this coming Halloween. Ebola is spreading. ISIS continues to promise destruction to the West and execute people. Hugh Jackman has cancer. But the scariest thing is unnecessary fear. Halloween is scary for a reason. When we can’t explain things, we fear them. It’s a natural response. The unknown could be dangerous, so we become afraid for protection. And sometimes feeling fear can be fun. Fear is an intoxicant. It gets your adrenaline going. It makes you feel alert and alive. We watch scary movies for the rush. Fear gets you moving. This would be good if we were out in the wild. But we’re not in a state of nature. We live in a prosperous society with order and rules and lots of good people. When fear starts to permeate our reality and not our movies and books this Halloween season, we can start to lose hope. Despite our fears, violent crime has dropped in the last 20 years. Though there is still terrible conflict in the world, wars are getting smaller and less deadly. We are living in a good time period, but Americans’ biggest fear is still walking alone at night. We’re scared of shadows and possibilities, and that is no way to live. Part of this is definitely the media’s fault. Sensational stories get views, so tragedies often oversaturate the news. The media works with what it has to to keep profits up and journalism alive. We should learn to take what large news outlets say with a grain of salt. It is bad and unsafe to worry and stress about molehills that have been blown into mountains. And I’m not saying you shouldn’t be cautious. It would be foolish to look at everything through rose-colored glasses. There is still bad in the world, and it is easy to get exploited when you don’t take things seriously. But it’s just as easy to be exploited when you’re afraid. You make yourself vulnerable to alarmist information rather than the truth. When you’re afraid, you act with rash emotion. You can be incited to buy things you don’t need or give up your rights or become angry at others for no reason. There is no reason to let what is bad in the world rule your life or damage the way you interact with people and how you handle yourself. Taking no precautions is bad, but taking rash steps can be just as harmful. It can even worsen the situation. Before you’re consumed with fear, take the time to look at the issue and determine if there is real danger. It’s often less than it’s made out to be. Ebola has been around for a while, and if we’re smart about it we’ll survive. ISIS is a fringe group, and it represents a very small population of the Middle East. Hugh Jackman has skin cancer — he’ll be OK. Let fear alert you, but don’t let it rule you. sckroll@indiana.edu

IU to play final game Friday By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen
IU’s seniors have combined for 395 games, 28 goals, 32 assists and 88 points throughout 27 years with the IU women’s soccer program. They’ve experienced the struggles and frustrations of three losing seasons and a program in transition through a change of head coach. But they’ve also seen the highs of a 2013 season in which IU set a number of program records while advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. But after Friday’s 7 p.m. matchup against Michigan State, IU’s six seniors, Tori Keller, Kristin Leist, Abby Smith, Bekah White, Jordan Woolums and Rebecca Dreher, will hang their IU jerseys up for good. “It’s probably going to be a pretty emotional game,” Keller said. “It’s hard to even fathom having played, like, a million games and practiced
so many times. But I don’t know, I think I’m excited, but it’s bittersweet.” The trio of Leist, White and Dreher all elected to come back to the program for a fifth season to compete this year. Leist, who will be done with school after the semester, said she couldn’t turn down a chance to keep playing soccer. “We have a pretty phenomenal senior class,” Berbary said. “Three of them coming back for their fifth year and stopping their life. I’d say arguably one of the smartest classes that has come through here and helped us set program records.” The Hoosiers’ senior night will feature a Michigan State (8-8-1, 3-8-1) team that, like IU (6-11-1, 2-9-1), will also not be making a Big Ten Tournament appearance. IU Coach Amy Berbary said it’s tough knowing the final whistle Friday will mark the end of the season after a disappointing Big Ten sea-
son but added that the focus all week has been ending the year by giving the seniors a win. IU took Tuesday off to ensure players’ legs will be as fresh as possible for the final game. Like IU’s game against Purdue, Berbary said one of the keys to the game will be keeping emotions in check among the seniors. “Unfortunately, they know it’s over and this is our last game, so that’s probably going to help us and give us a little extra boost,” Berbary said. “We always talk about playing each game like it’s your last. Typically, you don’t always know that, but we’re hoping to come out strong Friday.” Keller, a Grand Rapids, Mich., native, said there’s a bit of extra motivation for her to play well against the team from her home state. Berbary described the Spartans as a good transition team that’s going to be hungry for a win in their last game of the season, as well. She expects whichever team
IU (6-11-1, 2-9-1) vs. Michigan State (8-8-1, 3-8-1) 7 p.m. Friday, Bill Armstrong Stadium handles itself better in the final third will walk away with a win. “There’s no doubt it’s going to be a competitive game,” Keller said. “I have a special rivalry with them, so I’m always going to want to beat Michigan State above almost anybody.” As the season comes to a close, Berbary said she hopes the team never has the feeling of the season ending in October again. The goal now is to end the year with a second-consecutive win and give the seniors something positive to leave the program with. “It’s the last chance to be out there with the program, so I’m just going to enjoy every minute of it,” Leist said. “It’s going to be the last time I’m out under the lights, so I’m going to enjoy every minute I can with these girls.”
driver of the vehicle that transported Seymour. BPD investigators received a tip at about 4:30 a.m. Thursday regarding an individual suffering a head wound that was possibly related to a shooting with the police, according to the release. Police found Seymour with a non-life threatening head wound in the 300 block of West Kenwood. He was transported to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, where emergency room doctors determined the wound was consistent with that of a gunshot. Spence was arrested as the result of a traffic stop and was suspected to be involved in the string of robberies. Seymour’s blood as well as money and other items taken during the robberies were found in the car. At approximately 12:19 a.m., police responded to a robbery at the Circle K store, which is located near State Road 46, past the College Mall. A 6-foot-tall white male wearing a dark hoodie and white face mask and carrying a handgun ran east from the scene. The man reportedly ignored commands to drop his weapon, and one officer fired at him when the suspect pointed the weapon at the other officer. The suspect then fled the scene on foot.

The responding officers spoke with a female clerk and a 19-year-old male patron who were both in the store at the time of the robbery. The two witnesses said the gas station was robbed by a white male in his early 20s who was roughly six feet tall and wearing a blue hoodie, blue jeans and a black bandana around his face. He was wielding a black hand gun. The male patron said the subject pointed the gun at him during the robbery. The suspect robbed money from the Marathon before fleeing. Officers searched the area but couldn’t locate the suspect. The case has been forwarded to the BPD’s detective division. The Thursday morning robbery was the third in Monroe County in the previous two hours, according to an earlier release from Qualters. One robbery was investigated by the County Sheriff ’s Office and another was being investigated by Ellettsville Police. No officers or personnel were injured during the incident at Circle K. An internal investigation will be conducted regarding the officers’ discharge of his weapon. BPD will work with the County Sheriff ’s Department and the Ellettsville Police Department seeking to have Seymour charged with the two other robberies. The case remains under investigation. quently deleted. Munroe explained IUPD dispatchers use a template to create the alerts.

Columnist Brody Miller predicts the game and other storylines, page 10
Michigan and IU’s seasons stand at a crossroad. The Wolverines and Hoosiers sit sixth and seventh in the Big Ten East Division, respectively. Each has three wins to their credit. Both teams will enter Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich., coming off losses to Michigan State. Michigan fell to its in-state rival 35-11 last weekend, and the Hoosiers lost to the Spartans 56-17 two weeks ago. It’s crunch time for the Big Ten rivals. Just past the halfway point in the season, there is little margin for error for both programs to win the necessary six games to become bowl eligible. Each team fights an uphill battle where a loss Saturday would be a blow to any hopes of a postseason. But despite recent struggles — the Hoosiers have lost two in a row and three of their last four — IU Coach Kevin Wilson’s goal has remained the same. He wants to be coaching in December. “You guys (in the media) said we couldn’t be a bowl team,” Wilson said. “I think at 8-4, we would be. And at 7-5 and 6-6. All we’ve talked about is there’s a lot to play for, not to feel sorry for ourselves, not to have any excuses about anything.” Since the Hoosiers’ Sept. 20 upset win against then-No. 18 Missouri, IU has lost its starting quarterback and three of four games by a combined score of 138-61. A few players have downplayed any sense of must-win urgency, but seniors Nick Stoner and Mark Murphy both conceded that time is running out on the season and their careers. Coincidentally, the last time IU won in Ann Arbor was 1967, the season IU made its lone Rose Bowl appearance. To be eligible for their first bowl appearance since 2007, the Hoosiers (34, 0-3) will need to beat three of their five November opponents: Michigan on Saturday, Penn State, Rutgers, Ohio State and Purdue. Each win makes the postseason goal increasingly realistic. Each loss only digs a deeper hole.
If IU were to lose to Michigan (3-5, 1-3) on Saturday, the Hoosiers would need to win three of their final four games. Lose again to Penn State, and IU would need to win out. IU spent its second bye-week of the year on self-assessment. Wilson said the team didn’t begin looking at Michigan until last Sunday, opting to instead use the week off to improve internally and rest before the team’s final five games. “We talked a lot with our team weeks ago that this week was set up to be a week to get us to a point to finish strong because we thought the last five games would be critical to our season,” Wilson said. Michigan will no doubt be following a similar mentality. The Wolverines and Hoosiers are mostly fighting the same battles just past halfway through the season. Down to third-string quarterback Zander Diamont, IU passed for just 11 yards against Michigan State. Michigan’s scoring and total offense rank last in the Big Ten. Senior quarterback Devin Gardner is yet to throw for more than 200 yards in a game this season and has thrown 10 interceptions. Michigan Coach Brady Hoke said Monday that he hasn’t brought up bowl games. It’s homecoming for Michigan, and he’s been playing that up. He didn’t comment much on longterm goals. He’s focused more on IU. “Beat Indiana,” Hoke said when asked about goals. “That sounds like a good one.” Neither team can clinch any sort of bowl Saturday, but a poor performance could certainly help postseason dreams evaporate. The team is well aware of the road ahead but, like Hoke’s Michigan team, IU is taking things on a game-by-game basis. The first step against Michigan kicks off at 3:30 p.m. “That’s the thing; they’re all winnable, but if we don’t focus on this one right now, they’re all losable, as well,” Murphy said.
With a bye last week, IU offensive coordinator Kevin Johns took his offense back to square one. Freshman quarterback Zander Diamont had just three days of practice as IU’s starter before playing against then-No. 8 Michigan State two weeks ago. Diamont and the IU offense used the extra time to go back through installation plays from the first day of preseason camp, a time when Diamont was the third-string quarterback and was hoping to redshirt his first season. Now, the Hoosiers (3-4, 0-3) have had a chance to start from the beginning in preparation for this weekend’s matchup with Michigan (3-5, 1-3) in Ann Arbor. “What we have to do is gear things toward what he can handle, what he’s good at, what can he manage,” Johns said of Diamont. “We’re not in a good situation from a quarterback standpoint, from an experience standpoint, but we still have all the confidence in the world in him.” In his first collegiate game, Diamont had to face the No. 8 team in the nation. In his second, he’ll have to play in one of the toughest atmospheres in college football. Michigan Stadium, more commonly known as “The Big House,” holds 109,901 fans. Playing in front of a crowd that big can be daunting for anyone, especially a young, inexperienced player trying to manage an offense. Johns said if they consistently put Diamont in good situations, he can handle the rest. “All you have to do is take the snap, manage the play and we’ll move onto the next one,” Johns said. “Don’t get us beat; don’t put us in bad situations.” Diamont threw for just 11 yards against Michigan State on 5-of-15 passing. After the game, IU Coach Kevin Wilson blamed his performance on first-game excitement that led to
IU (3-4, 0-3) at Michigan (3-5, 1-3) 3:30 p.m., Saturday, Ann Arbor errant passes, saying Diamont was “a little bit hyper.” Now that Diamont has one game under his belt, Johns said he has a better understanding of the college game. It isn’t high school football anymore. “After the Michigan State game, his eyes were a lot bigger, like, ‘Wow these guys come fast,’” Johns said. “From that standpoint, I’ve seen him really understand now exactly what he’s up against.” The Venice, Calif., native has now tripled the number of snaps he took before that first game. He’s had more reps with his receivers, giving them a chance to get more in sync. It’s also allowed him and IU’s offensive line to develop a stronger sense of trust. Offensive lineman Dan Feeney said a lot of Diamont’s progress can only come in game-time situations. For the most part, rather than the IU offense changing too much, Diamont has been thrown into the mix and is expected to learn what was already established. But his playing style varies from Nate Sudfeld’s, something the line has had to adjust to. “He’s a little more comfortable with running,” Feeney said. “With Zander you just have to be ready to go run and block for him whenever he gets out of the pocket. “Especially since he’s a freshman, we’re definitely trying to limit the hits on him.” The Michigan defense is allowing 23 points per game and 210 yards passing through five games. Wilson said a solid two weeks of practice from Diamont and his offense, though, means nothing until he sees in it in the game Saturday. “Right now, it’s not his job to lose, but it’s his job to play better and help us win,” Wilson said.

IU to face 2 SEC teams By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu | @grace_palmieri

Michigan head coach Brady Hoke talks with IU head coach Kevin Wilson at the end of IU's game Oct. 19, 2013, at Michigan Stadium. IU lost 63-47.
What to watch for when IU takes on Michigan Hey IU fans, if you want some sympathy for what it has been like to be an IU hoops fan throughout the past decade, Michigan football fans are in a similar situation. Michigan football has been in a state of unfamiliar mediocrity ever since the end of the Lloyd Carr era in the mid-2000s. Rich Rodriguez was not the answer and, despite a promising first season, neither is current coach Brady Hoke. Meeting this Saturday in Ann Arbor, Mich., are two teams in a mutual state of chaos. Michigan is 3-5 and selfcombusting, and IU is 3-4 and trying to move on after losing junior Nate Sudfeld as quarterback for the season. This is not a game that will exactly be luring a large viewership, but there are a few things to watch for that may be entertaining if you
look at it the right way. How much will Diamont’s dad be mentioned? What? The new quarterback at IU’s dad was on “The Young and the Restless”? Guys, this is massive news. I am joking, and I do not blame Diamont or his father, Don, for people making it seem like such a big deal. It is just funny — you would think it is Jaden Smith going out there for the Hoosiers by the way some people keep bringing up Diamont’s dad. How many “whoa” plays will Tevin Coleman have? This will be fun to see because the Michigan run defense has been pretty solid. The Wolverines have only given up 100 yards on the ground in two of their past seven games. On the other hand, Coleman leads the nation with 170 yards per game. Not that he hasn’t been
already, but Coleman will be operating with an even greater “Let me take over” mentality in Diamont’s second career start as QB. I am interested in seeing what IU attempts to do this week in order to open things up. Also, I would not be shocked to see IU pound it on the ground more often even if the defense isn’t giving them much to work with. Talk of Brady Hoke’s job security It is no secret that Hoke, and Athletic Director Dave Brandon, is in the hot seat right now. His teams have gotten worse each year he has been at the helm. Hoke has brought in two top-10 recruiting classes and has been in the top 20 each of the past three years. The thing is, he does not seem to do particularly well at managing all of this talent. Like IU basketball, Michigan football boosters expect
the Wolverines to be a title contender year in, year out. Whether that is a reasonable goal or not, Hoke has brought Michigan even further away from that goal with this disaster of a season. Personally, I would be surprised if he lasts the season. How good will Devin Funchess be? Funchess, a wide-receiver-tight-end hybrid, is a force of nature and a rare bright spot for this offense. The difficult part seems to be getting it into his hands as Devin Gardner has thrown 10 interceptions this season and the squad has a turnover margin of -14. The IU corners will likely struggle to compete on jump balls, and he is not exactly easy to bring down when he has it either. At 6-foot-5, 236 pounds, the junior can run over your average cornerback, and I

have also seen him hurdle defenders. Prediction time Neither team has earned much of an edge here. Michigan should be better than it is, and IU is playing without its quarterback. I am tempted to say the team with the biggest game-changer, Tevin Coleman, should win, but the quarterback situation is too problematic. It’s not like I think Diamont is incapable of improving, but what evidence do I have that would give me faith? My prediction: Michigan wins 28-21. brodmill@indiana.edu

IU’s Dreher honored for academic achievement
IU off to best start in 4 years
From IDS reports
IU senior midfielder Rebecca Dreher was named Second Team Academic All-District 5, the College Sports Information Directors of America announced Thursday. Dreher becomes just the second player in IU women’s soccer history to earn the honor on two occasions. To be eligible for the award, student athletes must have at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA and be in at least their second year at the institution. The player must also be a starter or a significant player off the bench to be considered. Dreher, a fifth-year senior from Westlake, Ohio, has appeared in 16 games for IU this season, collecting 12 starts. It marks the 10th time in program history that an IU women’s soccer player has earned either first or second team honors. Dreher was joined by teammate Shannon Flower to earn the award last year. The other former Hoosier to win the accolade twice was Carly Everett, who was named to the first team in 2002 and the second team in 2003. Dreher has previously been named Academic All-Big Ten twice in her career and earned the Jack D. Techenor award, which is annually handed out to the IU student athlete with the highest GPA. Dreher will join five other senior teammates in playing the final games of their careers for IU on Friday at 7 p.m. against Michigan State at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Sam Beishuizen

IU is having its best Big Ten season in four years. The Hoosiers’ (14-9, 5-6) Big Ten record stands at 5-6 this year. The last three seasons combined, IU went 6-54 in the Big Ten. The last time the Hoosiers started 5-6 to start off the Big Ten season was 2010, the program’s first and only Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Tournament. IU is possibly coming off its most dramatic win of the season. This past Wednesday night, the Hoosiers lost the first set to Minnesota (14-8, 4-7), a team IU hasn’t beaten since 2010. IU came back to win the next three sets, including a marathon fourth-set victory to beat the Gophers. The fourth set featured 17 ties and three lead changes. Usually, the winner of a set in volleyball is determined by who gets to 25 points first. And the team has to win by two points. On Wednesday night, the final score of the fourth set between the Hoosiers and Gophers was 35-33. IU had five set-points it couldn’t convert on before sophomore setter Megan Tallman recorded a service ace. As Tallman’s serve couldn’t be handled by the Gophers, it secured the win for IU and broke a fourgame losing streak IU had against Minnesota. Tallman and Makayla Lundin combined for 55 assists. Both setters played in each of the four sets. Having two setters on

the floor opens up the hitting lanes for the outside hitters and middle blockers. IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan experimented with the strategy against Northwestern this past Saturday, and the Hoosiers also won that match. Against Minnesota, several of the hitters had efficient performances. Sophomore outside hitter Taylor Lebo had 11 kills and five hitting errors. Junior outside hitter Amelia Anderson had 15 kills and also five hitting errors. And senior outside hitter Morgan Leach had 13 kills and six hitting errors. Sophomore outside hitter Allison Hammond also chipped in with eight kills and two hitting errors. All four of the outside hitters had significantly more kills than hitting er-
rors, something the coaching staff has been working on, Dunbar-Kruzan has said this season. Having two setters on the floor also opened up the floor for the two middle blockers. Junior Awele Nwaeze and sophomore Jazzmine McDonald combined for 19 kills and eight hitting errors. The degree to which the 6-2 scheme will be used going forward is unknown. But Dunbar-Kruzan said it is definitely an option as the Hoosiers continue their Big Ten season. Saturday, the competition doesn’t get any easier. Wisconsin (19-2, 101) has the best conference record in the Big Ten and is ranked No. 4 in the country. The Badgers lost to then-No. 3 Penn State in

Since then, the Badgers have won 10 straight games, including wins against No. 10 Illinois, No. 13 Purdue, No. 14 Nebraska and No. 17 Ohio State. In fact, during the 10game winning streak, the Badgers have only lost one set during the streak. So out of 31 sets Wisconsin has played since it lost to Penn State on Sept. 24, the Badgers have won 30 of the sets. The game will be broadcast on BTN Plus and the radio broadcast will be available on iuhoosiers.com.
When it’s time for the Big Ten Championships in March, the IU swimmers get excited for more than the competition. It’s the candy-striped robes they get to wear. Sometimes they’ll even dress up in tutus and paint their faces. It keeps them loose and helps them perform better under the most pressure they face all year. Friday, when IU travels to Tennessee for a dual meet, they’ll have a similar opportunity. Friday is Halloween. “Our girls would love to dress up,” IU swimming Coach Ray Looze said. He texted the Tennessee coach about it Wednesday. “I said, ‘Hey our girls want to dress up in costumes,’” Looze said. “The Tennessee coach said, ‘Well, we’ll be wearing orange and black.’” Looze said it’s all in fun. That’s just how his team is. They face the Volunteers and Kentucky Wildcats at 2 p.m. The Hoosiers are coming off a quad meet from last weekend, when they defeated Louisville and lost to Texas and Michigan. Looze said struggling against some of the best teams in the nation is a matter of his young team learning to adjust to the level of competition. “We were a little flat to begin the meet,” he said. “That’s something we’re going to have to rectify against Tennessee and Kentucky, two pretty tough SEC opponents. Our flat start is something that I think is very correctable.” Junior Brooklynn Snodgrass was the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week after winning both the 100- and 200-yard backstroke. Her time of 52.48 seconds in the 100-yard back and 1:53.29 in the 200-yard back leads the nation. She also ranks in the top 10 in the 200 individual medley, a race she placed second in last weekend at Michigan. Aside from Snodgrass, it’s been a story of the underclassmen so far for IU. Three divers, freshmen Jessica Parratto and James Connor and sophomore Michael Hixon, have taken first in seven of the eight diving competitions through two meets. Looze has also been impressed by freshman swimmer Kennedy Goss, who won the 500-yard freestyle at Michigan. “She’s really been acting like a veteran early on,” Looze said. “We’ve been really, really pleased with Kennedy. She’s got the type of personality you like to see out of a high-level athlete.” Looze anticipates his swimmers’ times may slow down a bit this weekend because of intensive training this past week. They can’t stop training for the competition season despite having three regular-season meets in October. That means doing weight training just 48 hours before a meet. “They were definitely feeling it in practice, but that’s kind of the plan — what we wanted to do,” Looze said. “It could potentially slow us down a bit, no doubt, because we’ve been swimming pretty fast for this time of year.” After today’s meet in Tennessee, IU travels to Indianapolis for another meet Saturday. The Hoosiers face IUPUI and Western Kentucky. They have a month-long break following this weekend and will not compete again until Dec. 4 at Winter Nationals. The spacing out of meets is something Looze is hoping to emphasize in the future. It allows time for a more postseason-focused training routine while still having regular competitions to prepare. “You want to have a balance of pushing your team but also building confidence at the same point,” he said. “This will be a good opportunity to keep pushing but also take that step up.” IU SWIM & DIVE vs. Tennessee and Kentucky 2 p.m. Friday, Knoxville

Art installation raises climate awareness Artist Olafur Eliasson created an installation in Copenhagen, Denmark, to raise awareness and start a conversation about climate change. Eliasson brought in 12 large blocks of ice from Greenland and created an installation
resembling a clock. The installation is sitting in a large square in Copenhagen, melting more each day to force viewers to talk about melting ice caps and rising sea levels, according to the Huffington Post.

The cast of “Nice Work if You Can Get It” performs Thursday at the IU Auditorium. The Tony Award-winning musical is set in the 1920s and follows the story of the main character’s, Jimmy Winter, bachelor party.
BY THE BOOK
Writing a novel in 1 month? Challenge accepted There’s more to November than not shaving and stuffing your face with turkey (although, those are two extremely important aspects). November brings us cold weather, parades, premature Christmas music and National Novel Writing Month. For those of you who’ve been living under a rock, NaNoWriMo is a time when folks gather their resources, meet up in cafes, drink a lot of coffee and try to write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. You’re encouraged to start a new project (meaning nothing you’ve written before), and going back to edit what you’ve written is a big no-no (that’s what the month of December is for). If it sounds crazy, that’s probably because it is. I’ve participated in NaNoWriMo since 2009, but I’ve never been able to finish. Something usually comes up in my life around
the middle of the month, and then I’m too distracted by Thanksgiving events in the end. However, I refuse to quit because I think this process is essential for writers, readers and anyone who likes a challenge. Tomorrow night, after candy and Halloween flicks, I will face that midnight starting time head-on. Authors have always been a mystery to me. I have great respect for those able to compile all their thoughts into a focused piece of writing and share it with others. But another part of the mystique is how the author got from point A to point B. How many ideas did they have to start? Did they use resources? Are the characters modeled off of real people they know? Is there a certain magical font they used that allowed them to write gibberish and turn it into a masterpiece? The only definite similarity between all novelists is that they decided to
CLASSIC
write and they wrote, which is what NaNoWriMo is all about. Everyone I’ve ever talked to about NaNoWriMo who’s never heard of it always asks, “But what do you win?” The answer is a learning experience about writing and your own satisfaction of writing a novel. I don’t know if there’s a statistic out there, but I’m pretty sure only a few NaNoWriMo novels ever make it to print. But the point of writing like crazy for a month isn’t to sign a book deal afterward. Although that’s the ultimate dream come true for practically every participant. Practice in writing makes you a better writer, period. If you’re thinking about attempting NaNoWriMo, you don’t have to do it alone. A local Bloomington group meets up for write-ins at Rachael’s Café several days a week and can offer all the support you need during this hectic month.

Other participants are great to bounce around plot ideas with and swap stories about character backgrounds. But if meeting in person isn’t your thing, forums on nanowrimo.org provide plenty of answers and help. The site lists advice from time management to exercises for getting started. If the idea of NaNoWriMo terrifies you but it also excites you, it’s time to join the gang and tackle the beast. Take it from someone who’s only made it halfway: Failure is part of the learning process, and you’ll definitely fail if you don’t try. So this month, take a chance to become your own inspiring writers, dear readers. Maybe someday, we’ll be reading your books. maehogan@indiana.edu

In my opinion, one of the most incredible things a person can do is see firsthand the things one only sees on postcards, television or magazines. Things that seem impossible to see in real life. I remember watching “Lawrence of Arabia” as a child and thinking, ‘why the heck would he be so seemingly enthralled with a desert?’ It’s a desert: a dry, hot place waiting to catch you off guard and suck the life out of you. I’ve seen pictures of deserts, still and lifeless, cupping the light of the moon or rippling under the heat of the sun. This past weekend, I decided to see for myself what all the fuss was about. I made my way north to Calama for a four-day visit to the driest desert in the world, the Atacama Desert. As my group and I waited excitedly at the airport Thursday night for our 5:40 a.m. flight, we all had grand ideas about what it would be like. None of us were expecting what we saw upon landing in Calama. “Did we just land on Tatooine?” my friend Phil asked, as we stared out at the endless, sandy terrain. For those of you who are not Star Wars aficionados, Tatooine was a desert planet and home to the famous Anakin Skywalker. We stood there, quite disoriented, before making our way to the bus terminals for the final leg of our journey: a nearly two-hour ride to San Pedro de Atacama. I settled down comfortably in the first-row seat on top of the double-decker bus, a perfect vantage point to watch the rest of my first sunrise in Atacama before I fell asleep. Before I knew it, I woke up to the sounds of people exiting the bus. We had finally arrived. “From sunrise to sunset” took on a whole new meaning for me, as we awoke each morning to the sound of a rooster crowing and ended each day watching the sun lower behind the vast desert mountains. A new adventure awaited us each day as we tried to pack everything we could into the four days we were in the

Atacama Desert. The first day, we visited the Laguna Cejar, giant salt lakes surrounded by white, salty beaches. Walking toward the giant pools of water, sweating profusely under the strong sun, I couldn’t imagine the Laguna being anything but hot and stagnant. To my great surprise, it was cold as ice. It took a lot of willpower to get into the pool, and as I made my way in, slowly moving my feet along the soft white floor, I arrived at a sudden drop-off. I stood there for a moment, gathering my wits, before plunging forward into the abyss. I felt the water under me buoying me up, allowing me to float effortlessly across the surface. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The salt lakes contain five times more salt than the oceans, making it impossible for a person to sink. Following such an amazing first experience, it was hard to imagine anything else being up to par. The desert proved me wrong as we toured salt caves, explored nature’s architecture, watched powerful geysers shoot steam into the freezing morning air, sandboarded down steep dunes and made countless new friends in the hostel we were staying at. It was hard to say goodbye to the desert Monday night and the tranquility it offered in the crisp morning air and the brilliant displays of color at sunset in the rolling, sandy dunes. It was hard to leave the countless adventures behind. As I sat on the plane home, watching the twinkling lights of Calama fade into the darkness, I decided I would come back in a heartbeat. I’ve fallen in love with the desert experience. Before nodding off to sleep on the plane, I smiled, as I now understood and agreed with Major Lawrence’s brief summation of what drew him to the desert: “It’s clean.” makholla@indiana.edu

IU associate professor of anthropology Catherine Tucker will present a lecture on the social effects and cultural significance of coffee around the world. The presentation will take place at noon Friday at the Mathers Museum of World Cultures. Although he’s of the impression that coffee contains little to no nutritional value, said IU junior Jacob Sklar, it is considered by many to be a staple in getting a start to the day. “Coffee gets me up in the morning and helps me stay awake at night,” Sklar said. “I feel like a lot of people drink it for the same reason, so it will be interesting to hear about it.” In her book, “Coffee Culture: Local Experiences, Global Connections,” Tucker examines how coffee plays the role of a commodity that ties the world together. Sarah Hatcher, head of programs and education at the Mathers Museum, said Tucker’s presentation will heavily emphasize the connection that the production and consumption of coffee brings to different cultures around the world.

viewpoints about it among cultures. “People will be able to get a nice look at some of the things that go into the background of coffee,” Hatcher said. “We’ve all seen fair trade labeling at the grocery store, but there isn’t much insight about it.” Hatcher said she expects the presentation to be eyeopening, as it will reveal unknown aspects of one of America’s favorite drinks. “Visitors should expect to see elements of Dr. Tucker’s field work as well as spend time with her,” she said. “It’s an opportunity to learn about the people who are involved in the entire process, which is something most people don’t get the chance to look at.” Hoosier Fair Trade, a fair trade advocacy group on campus, will also be in attendance with a station set up for post-event conversations about the discussion, especially about the state of fair trade coffee in Indiana and Bloomington. “They’ll be offering free coffee as well as a chance to talk about some of the issues that surround coffee,” Hatcher said. The event is free to the public and is sponsored by the IU College of Arts and Sciences Themester, “Eat, Drink, Think: Food from Art to Science.”

No. 2 Hoosiers to play Badgers By Andrew Vailliencourt availlie@indiana.edu | @AndrewVcourt
Todd Yeagley was hired to be the IU men’s soccer coach in December of 2009. It was his turn to carry on the success of the program his father, Jerry, built. The Hoosiers had to hire him away from Wisconsin, where he spent one year as the head coach. On Saturday, he will make his fourth trip back to Wisconsin since being hired at IU. He is 1-2 facing the Badgers on the road, and is 2-2-1 overall against his former team, including a 4-3 loss last season. No. 2 IU is 11-2-3 (3-2-1) on the year and currently has 10 points in conference play, good for fourth place. In order for the Hoosiers to win the Big Ten, they will
need to beat Wisconsin and Michigan State next week, Penn State must lose its final conference game and Ohio State can’t win both of its remaining Big Ten games. “The Big Ten, it’s tough,” sophomore midfielder Tanner Thompson said. “It’s a lot more competitive; it’s a bigger conference, and there’s more conference play, which is good.” Wisconsin (3-10-2, 0-6) has struggled this season. It’s coming off of a 2-1 overtime loss to Penn State on the road. “Every single game is going to be a tough one,” freshman defender Grant Lillard said. The Hoosiers are 5-0 on the road this year. IU has scored 26 goals this season and allowed just 11. The Badgers have scored just 15 goals and allowed 25.
Wisconsin is led by two freshman forwards, Tom Barlow and Mark Segbers, who each have four goals this season. The Hoosiers are led by junior midfielder Femi Hollinger-Janzen, who has five goals. Thompson and Lillard each have four goals. IU has seven players with two goals or more, while Wisconsin has just four. Another area IU stands apart from Wisconsin is at goalie. Sophomore Colin Webb has been having a nice season posting a save percentage of .817 for the Hoosiers, while the Badgers have seen two different goalies play this season. Redshirt sophomore Casey Beyers has started six games, and freshman Adrian Remeniuk has started nine. Both have been sub-par
NO. 2 IU (11-2-3, 3-2-1) at Wisconsin (3-10-2, 0-6) 7 p.m. Saturday, Wisconsin with an average save percentage of .688. IU will likely face Beyers on Saturday. IU will be coming off of a 2-0 win over in-state rival Evansville on Wednesday. Saturday in Madison will be IU’s last away match of the regular season. “Every Big Ten game, every match, is important,” Yeagley said. Despite Wisconsin’s record, Yeagley says his team won’t take any opponent lightly, saying it is a big game, especially to stay in the Big Ten race. “We have a really tough conference match against a very good Wisconsin team on Saturday night,” Yeagley said.
A public protest is planned to take place Saturday at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich., with the goal of firing Michigan Athletic Director Dave Brandon. With the help of a donor, Michigan senior Craig Kaplan is organizing an event called “White Out, Dave Out.” Kaplan’s group hopes to distribute 2,000 white T-shirts that read, “We support the team, the team, the team. #FireDaveBrandon.” In an email sent to petitioners, a group of protesters asked for students and fans to join the whiteout. “We ask that you join us in the ‘White Out, Dave Out’ by wearing a white shirt to the football game this Saturday vs. Indiana as a show of protest against the current athletic director,” the email said. The whiteout is another controversy surrounding the Michigan athletic department. The team was criticized earlier this season after the coaching staff elected to keep quarterback sophomore Shane Morris on the field against Minnesota despite suffering a concussion. Morris suffered the concussion in the fourth quarter of Michigan’s Sept. 27 game against Minnesota. After stumbling, Morris left the game for a play before later being reinstated, apparently not undergoing a proper evaluation for head trauma. NCAA policy mandates that a player must be removed from the game immediately upon showing any signs of concussion, but Michigan Coach Brady Hoke said his coaching staff and medical personnel did not see the incident in real time to be aware of

the concussion. Brandon released a statement three days after the game admitting that Morris suffered a concussion and apologizing for the mistake. That prompted a petition by graduate student Zeid ElKilani calling for Brandon and President Mark Schilissel to be fired immediately. “Unfortunately, under Mr. Brandon’s tenure, the football program, one of the most prominent programs at the University of Michigan and in the nation, has become a black eye for the University of Michigan,” the petition summary read. “Instead of adding to the image and prestige of the university, the state of the athletic department has hurt the connection shared between alumni, fans and the university.” Further adding to the controversy surrounding the program, Hoke once again apologized this week for his players driving a stake into the turf at Spartan Stadium prior to the Michigan vs. Michigan State game last week. As a symbol of team unity, Michigan senior Joe Boldon took a stake onto the field and drove it into the ground. Michigan State Coach Mark Dantonio expressed displeasure with the act in the postgame press conference after the Spartans defeated the Wolverines 35-11. Dantonio questioned the team’s leadership. Hoke said the situation was overblown. Hoke said he and Dantonio “go back a long, long way” and have since talked about the incident. “The only thing I can tell you is Joe (Bolden) feels as bad as anyone,” Hoke said. “That wasn’t the intent. There was no disrespect intended for anybody.”
