Students prepare for Indy march Indianapolis among cities with 2017 inauguration women’s protests marches By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor
Amanda Stephens, an IU grad student, accepts that Donald Trump will be the nation’s newest president. However, she said she will resist what he stands for. Resistance is the next step in showing Trump what he is getting into when he takes office, Stephens said. She will start resisting in the Women’s March Indianapolis. “We really, really dislike that he’s our president,” Stephens said. “But, that’s not going to get us anywhere.” The Women’s March Indianapolis will take place at 11 a.m. Saturday outside the Indiana Statehouse and will draw people from across the state. More than 5,000 people have responded on the march’s Facebook eventand said they will attend. The Indianapolis march will also happen at the same time as the Women’s March on Washington in Washington, D.C. These women’s marches will be taking place across the world one day after Trump’s inauguration. “Trump is pro-market, pro-capitalism and pro-money, money, money,” Stephens said. “We’re all against the same belief. Now how can we come together?It’s about visibility, solidarity and alliances.” Stephens is a Ph.D. candidate in gender studies at IU and taught a feminist activism class during the fall semester. She said she is scared about the stances the new administration will take on issues like the direction of Planned Parenthood, reproductive rights and health care if people do not voice their concerns. She said the march will be a catalyst for speaking out and furthering action in Bloomington, Washington, D.C., and around the country. There will be a total of 616 marches across the world; from Geneva, Switzerland, to Yangon, Myanmar. “It’s creating solidarity with other people who experience different types of oppression but are all screwed by the same system,” Stephens said. IU’s Feminist Student Association will also bring some of its members to the march. Alexis Davis, a junior attending the march with FSA, said she, too, recognizes the importance of uniting communities at the march. “It isn’t just a women’s fight,” Davis said. “It’s a community fight for women. I think the march gives the opportunity for everyone in the community, regardless of gender, to come together and create a voice that can fight back.” Davis will be carpooling to Indianapolis with other members of FSA. The group wanted to go Washington, D.C., but said Indianapolis was a better choice because it was closer. “I’m expecting a big crowd and a lot of energy and positivity toward women,” Davis said. Davis participated last year in a protest againstsv Indiana House Bill 1337, which prevented women from seeking abortions based on the fetus’s race, sex or potential disability. Similar to Stephens, Davis said she wanted to voice her concerns about SEE PROTEST, PAGE 8
Playing a full house Cleveland Orchestra caps off IU residency with send-off concert By Emily Jones emkjones@indiana.edu | @emkkjones
One of the world’s most celebrated ensembles took the stage Thursday night in the IU Auditorium, and nearly 2,000 people were there to watch. The Cleveland Orchestra presented its program to mark the end of its biannual residency at the Jacobs School of Music. Under the baton of Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Möst, the orchestra performed a trifecta of classics: Jean Sibelius’s “Symphony No. 2 in D Major,” Bedrich Smetana’s “Overture from ‘The Bartered Bride,’” and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Piano Concerto No. 2” with Israeli-American pianist Yefim Bronfman. Bronfman opened the concert with the mercurial and technically demanding Tchaikovsky. The Smetana and Sibelius followed and delivered warmth and bold lyricism. “They’re very elegant,” community member Leonard Sjogren said of the ensemble. He estimated he’d been to about 100 Cleveland Orchestra concerts, mostly while in college. “Most Saturday nights, I’d go to the balcony of Severance Hall and hear them play,” Sjogren said. “My friends and I would alternate purchasing season passes so we could go more often.” Past Cleveland Orchestra events this week included collaborative recitals, master classes and mock auditions for each instrument where students could simulate the process of auditioning for professional orchestras before a panel of judges. Another highlight of the residency was a side-by-side project with three IU orchestras. On Wednesday and Thursday, students

were paired side-by-side with Cleveland Orchestra members in rehearsal. “It gives you an idea of what it really takes to blend, and how to make a 100-piece ensemble work,” Cleveland Orchestra violist Stanley Konopka said of the project. “There’s a certain quality of sound you get exposed to that you don’t often get as a student. You’re jumping into something that has an ebb and flow of its own — something alive.” During breaks many Cleveland Orchestra members offered constructive commentary to the students seated beside them. For IU senior and oboist JJ Silvey, a valuable part of the process was feedback. “It informs how you need to work in the future, but it was surreal, getting to sit among them and see the best example of everything you’ve been taught,” Silvey said. The Cleveland Orchestra, founded in
1918, is known for engaging a wide range of audiences through its residency programs and mix of new and old repertoires. Live film scores are not uncommon on TCO’s concert season; throughout the year, pop and jazz singers often make their ways onto the program. “The fact is the role of orchestras in society is changing, and we are on the forefront of that evolution,” Konopka said. The most important part of that role is working within Cleveland’s neighborhoods, Konopka said. “There’s a lot more free concerts and inner-city work that we do today, so when people give to the orchestra, they’re giving to Cleveland. What they invest in the orchestra, the payback is not only for the people who can afford our tickets, but it’s for the city, the children.”

Junior guard Tyra Buss jumps for a rebound against Purdue on Thursday night in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Buss led the team with eight assists and added 18 points to help lead the Hoosiers to a 74-60 victory against the Boilermakers.
Hoosiers take back Barn Burner Trophy from Boilermakers By Josh Eastern jeastern@indiana.edu | @JoshEastern
The legend of IU junior guard Tyra Buss continues to grow. On Saturday at Northwestern she was just 4-of-17 from the field. On Thursday night when her team needed her to step up, she did just that. She scored, she
passed and she played solid defense. Buss ended up on the floor too many times to count, but that’s her style of basketball. Behind 18 points and eight assists from Buss, IU won back the Barn Burner Trophy with a 74-60 win against the Purdue SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 8
Diana Hadley was teaching high school journalism when the Supreme Court of the United States dealt a crushing blow to student reporters around the country. She said she remembers clearly when the decision came down in 1988. Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, a landmark case for student press freedoms, gave school administrators the ability to censor articles before they ran in student publications. She was fortunate because she had a good relationship with the principal where she taught. After the news broke, he told her, “you tell your kids it’s business as usual at Mooresville High School.” Her students were safe from excessive censorship, but other students aren’t as lucky. Those other students’ fortunes could change if a new bipartisan bill passes through the legislature this session. House Bill 1130, coauthored by Rep. Edward Clere, RNew Albany, and Rep. Edward DeLaney, D-Indianapolis, would provide protections for student journalists if passed. The description on the Indiana General Assembly website
says the bill would make it so an educational institution can’t censor school-sponsored media unless it’s libelous or slanderous. Hadley, who’s now the director of the Indiana High School Press Association, was involved in a movement for a similar bill in the 1990s. This bill passed through the House but stalled in the Senate, and it’s been stalling ever since. Hadley said she expected to try to get another bill through again at some point, but it’s taken until now partially because campaigners realized they had some relationship-building to do with school administrators before the bill could be successful. “It kind of seems like the wind’s at our back,” Hadley said. “There seems to be a movement to give students more voice.” To get the ball rolling again, Hadley helped spearhead a grassroots campaign last summer called New Voices of Indiana. The group is part of the national movement New Voices USA, which has promoted bills like HB 1130 in several states around the country. As momentum grew in the campaign, Hadley said Clere contacted the group to announce his SEE BILL, PAGE 8
