TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDERS
Hiring freeze affects students By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor
Before President Trump took office, junior Anabel Carmona-Gutierrez had a plan. She would get a job for one year and then return to her home country, Spain, to get a master’s degree. When Trump issued a presidential memorandum Jan. 23 to stop hiring new federal civilian workers, Carmona-Gutierrez’s plan fell apart. She said she hoped to work at the Environmental Protection Agency, but now that may not be possible. Trump’s order challenges students pursuing internships within the government. The federal hiring freeze, however, does not affect jobs related to the military, national security and public safety. If Carmona-Gutierrez were to return to Spain after graduation, she faces the problem of high unemployment. According to Trading Economics, Spain’s unemployment as of Jan. 26 is 18.36 percent. The United State’s unemployment rate was 4.7 percent in December, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Along with the freeze, CarmonaGutierrez said she is worried about Trump’s recent executive order banning immigration from seven countries and her future in the U.S. as an immigrant. “It is a concern because Spain has been very open about taking refugees,” Carmona-Gutierrez said. “There are signs in city that say they are welcome. If the president were to start trying to punish different countries that are pro-refugees, then I would be affected.” Carmona-Gutierrez faces a dilemma. She can remain in the U.S. with her fears of the about the treatment of immigrants and try to pursue a job in the private sector, or she can return to Spain and confront the high levels of unemployment. While Carmona-Gutierrez faces the additional challenge of being an immigrant, other IU students are also experiencing challenges with Trump’s federal hiring freeze. In September IU junior James Cole applied to two internships with the government. One was at the U.N. headquarters in New York City, and one was at the U.S. embassy in London. Nearly five months later, Cole is still waiting, not to see if he was chosen for the internship, but to see if the internship still exists. “It’s the one I applied to first, and I’ve been waiting on this the most,” Cole said. “To get to the end of the journey, and, instead, I just might

His children, American citizens, are at risk to lose their parents, who don’t share the same citizenship.
INDIANAPOLIS — The prayers were said and sent up to Dios, and now it was time to do what they could for themselves. The families, packed on bleachers inside the gymnasium of Saint Monica Church and praising the padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, observed mass in Spanish. They dipped their hands in holy water and waited in line to shake hands with the priest as they bounced babies on their hips while older kids played tag in zany spirals. Many were Latino immigrants, and they’d been on the wrong side of promises in President Trump’s campaign. In the first week of his presidency, he has already made moves to keep people like them from entering the country. On Sunday morning, the families crammed into a tiny room in a building on the edge of the church property. Lawyers were coming to teach them about their rights under this new administration that had made them all vulnerable to deportation. Most were immigrants, likely undocumented, but some were white members of the congregation who’d come to learn how to help. The chairs went quickly, so many of them sat on the floor with children fidgeting in their parents’ laps. “Que bonita misa,” a young mother commented to another as she settled into her seat. “What a beautiful mass.” It was snowing outside, and the room was filled with the sound of zippers and coats being wrestled off. A few made calls to give directions to families still trying to find the building. “No te preocupes,” a man said into his cell phone while a little girl tugged on his hand. “Los abogados no están aquí ya.” “Don’t worry. The lawyers aren’t here yet.” Juan Anaya, 33, sat in the front with his wife and his three children. He looked younger when he smiled, showing the gap in his two front teeth.

‘Duchess of Malfi’ brings tragedy to center stage By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13
MARLIE BRUNS | IDS
Jason Craig West and Ryan Claus play Bosola and Ferdinand in IU Theatre’s production of “The Duchess of Malfi,” which hits the stage Febuary 3 at the Wells-Metz Theatre.
The show begins with a series of vignette scenes playing out on the floor of the Wells-Metz Theatre. The Duchess of Malfi, the show’s widow protagonist, moves silently among some of the other characters, including her brothers Ferdinand and the Cardinal. She moves from one side of the stage to the other in her deep red gown, interacting wordlessly as the opening score plays. The macabre, tragic play opens to the public at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 3 in the Wells-Metz, with senior Emily Sullivan taking on the role of the Duchess. Sullivan said the Duchess is relatable in an interesting way. “I kept wondering if I was doing something wrong because it felt relatively easy to access,” Sullivan said. “Of course, you know, I was and still am doing some things wrong, and I’m improving on those things. She obviously has flaws, as does everyone, but I find her to be very human and it’s not too far of a stretch to imagine how she feels.”
‘DUCHESS OF MALFI’ Tickets $15 - $25 Opens 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at Wells-Metz Theatre “The Duchess of Malfi,” a production play by John Webster in the early 1600s, revolves around a Duchess desiring to marry below her class and the tragic results of her choice. Sullivan said she read the piece for the first time in professor Robert Fulk’s 17th century literature class. “The majority of my training has been in classical work, mostly Shakespeare and whatnot, so I was aware of the show,” Sullivan said. “Working on it has been an entirely different monster. It’s emotionally exhausting.” Though Sullivan said the process has been grueling, the value as a student of theater has been worth the efforts of producing the show. “‘The Duchess of Malfi’ is an incredibly difficult play to perform, and we all knew going into the SEE ‘MALFI’, PAGE 6

Professors make Black History Month daily By Larmie Sanyon lsanyon@indiana.edu Twitter: @LarmieSanyon
Every February brings with it a celebration of Black History Month, but black history goes far beyond just 28 days. The theme for Black History Month at IU this year was announced at NealMarshall Black Cultural Center Wednesday night at a kickoff. The theme, “black history made daily,” was chosen because organizers, like Monica Johnson, said they wanted to emphasize the fact that black history transcends time and a specific generation. There were Bloomington city leaders and IU faculty and administration from the creative arts, library services and other departments. Valerie Grim, an IU professor, said black people live and breathe their culture everyday while adding pages to the story. “We celebrate Black History Month, but this is a history that lives,” Grim said. “We are evidence of things
hoped for.” One of the departments representing the University was the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs. Yolanda Treviño, assistant to the vice president for diversity, equity and multicultural affairs, said it’s important to study black history beyond February. The audience and subsequent speakers agreed. The message was positive, and the different speakers and participants had interesting perspectives on how to celebrate black history and make the rest of the world understand the relevance and importance of black history. Neal-Marshall’s head librarian, Deloice Holliday, said students and faculty can further their knowledge by visiting the library. The library encourages black culture and history through its research and resources like black newspapers from around the country. All of which, is meant to encourage the continuation and documentation of black excellence, she said.
Others, like Charles Sykes, executive director of the African American Arts Institute, suggested an approach through the arts. He encouraged students and faculty to take part as audience members or participants by coming to the institute often. “Enjoy this space because there are people that worked very hard to make this a reality,” Sykes said. “It’s up to you all to keep it alive and vibrant.” Sykes reminded the audience of Herman Hudson, the man who is responsible for helping create NealMarshall and the African American Arts Institute. Figures like Hudson, Sykes said, remind the community to be bold and established a path for themselves and the future. He said it was also important for African Americans to use the established paths even as they expand their history. “This entire building, this is ours,” Sykes said. “Let’s value it. Let’s use it.” This comment from Sykes

was well received. Whether or not everyone understands the significance of continuing the black story is to be seen. One student did understand the message. Sophomore Ramir Williams said it is important
to continue to live and celebrate the advancements of African Americans and to never forget the history. Williams said continuing to celebrate black history can sometimes be difficult. He said the black community
has to continue to spread awareness to educate individuals who lack knowledge about black history. “It’s something we can do as black people to continue to celebrate past the month of February,” Williams said.
Religious groups respond to Trump Indiana legislative forum to focus on local, state issues By Emily Berryman
eberryma@indiana.edu | @Ember_Otter
While President Trumps new executive order is only eight days old, groups like the Muslim Student Association, said they had both feared and planned for something like this ever since the end of the election. Trump’s executive order halted immigration from seven Middle Eastern countries and created both fear and uncertainty for immigrants and international students at IU. Many students have concerns about the immigration ban and what might follow for those affected, said Luma Khabbaz, an IU sophomore and the public relations chair for MSA. Muslim organizations like hers have been planning to support students in what may be a difficult time and other religious groups are also taking action in one way or another. “There are many within the Muslim Student Association who are affected,” said Luma Khabbaz, an IU sophomore and public relations chair for MSA. “But there are also many who are affected and not members of MSA. We want to show we will be there for people who are affected regardless of who they are. We will support them.” Khabbaz said, as an
organization, MSA has been preparing for a situation like this since the election results. She said MSA is trying to coordinate with other groups to make sure no one feels they are alone and unsupported. “I know people who are affected,” said Fariha Hossain, an advisor for MSA and IU senior. “They are worried they will be forced to leave and if they leave to go home to support their families they can’t come back. Those not currently affected are worried they will be next.” Hossain said she wishes IU would declare campus a safe zone for students facing the ban and publicly state it will not release the legal status of their students. “Minorities are coming together,” Hossain said. “I hope the spirit lasts and continues to grow.” On Wednesday evening MSA organized an event for National Hijab Day. Khabbaz said the event was a chance to learn about hijabs and try them on. “I hope the event will be a chance to talk,” Khabbaz said. “To show everyone that even though some women wear hijabs, they are real people too.” While Muslim students and organizations have been vocal about their concerns, there has been little
attention from other religious groups. Student religious organizations say this is because it is a political issue, not a religious one. “As an organization we try to stay away from politics,” Grace Padget, Hoosier Catholic member, said. “There are Catholics on both sides, and the church has not decided to act in any one direction.” While the Roman Catholic Church has made no overt political statement, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops did release a an announcement reaffirming their concern for all human life and for refugees and immigrants. “We must screen vigilantly for infiltrators who would do us harm, but we must always be equally vigilant in our welcome of friends,” according to the press release. Other bishops in the U.S., including Cardinal and Archbishop Blase Cupich of Chicago, have also said similar things about the need to reach out to those immigrants and refugees with mercy and understanding. Richard Woelmer, pastor at University Lutheran church, said his church will probably not be doing anything specific, although he understands why people are concerned. “The whole situation could have been handled
better,” Woelmer said. “The president is doing what he said he would do. The ban is not permanent. This is just until a better vetting process can be put in place.” Though he has not planned any events regarding the ban, Woelmer said he is looking at the issue from a Christian standpoint. He said he wants to extend love and compassion to everyone. He said it is an extension of the commandment to ‘love thy neighbor,’ even if they are a stranger. Julie Ross, vice president of St. Paul’s Hoosier Catholic, said they, too, will be praying. “We love all our brothers and sisters and continue to pray for the best possible outcome,” Ross said. Although Hoosier Catholic has nothing planned right now, they will continue to pray for all those affected. Padget said she wished she could do more for those in need. “If I were not renting an apartment with other people and leaving after this semester,” Padget said. “I would like to support and help house students who have visas.” Padget said she wished a Catholic organization would issue a statement saying all life is valuable, refugees and people of all nationality and creeds included.
Professors discuss climate change at Upland Brewery By Rachel Leffers rleffers@indiana.edu | @rachelleffers
Students and community members packed into Upland Brewing Company’s Banquet Hall on Tuesday night for a casual discussion about “Before the Flood,” a documentary about climate change. The room was so full, the Fire Marshall had to close the doors. “If you’re a smaller person and are okay with sharing a chair with someone else, that would be great,” said IU senior Sean Buehler, the founder and director of Science on Tap. The IU Cinema played “Before the Flood” Friday night. The documentary follows Leonardo DiCaprio on his journey to learn more about climate change and to help others understand it better. Students responded to the documentary Tuesday with their questions regarding the film and climate change in general. The discussion originated when members of the IU Biology Club decided to collaborate with Science on Tap. Junior Sophie Laughlin said she thinks it’s important to facilitate discussions between students and the community so individuals can learn from one another and exchange ideas. “We felt like there was
a gap between people who were knowledgeable and people who were unaware about climate change,” Laughlin said, “We wanted to bridge that gap to empower people to be more environmentally conscience.” Every month, Science on Tap has an event with a question-and-answer session for students to learn more about science in a casual, fun environment. “I founded Science on Tap on the principle that science should be fun and accessible for everyone,” Buehler said. Most of the students attending the event heard about it through their friends. Others said they consider themselves advocates for climate change, so they were interested in the event because they saw “Before the Flood” Friday. “I’ve always been a big outdoorsman,” master’s student Zack VanDeman said, “Just thinking about the woods not being there is a sad thought.” VanDeman said one moment from the documentary that stood out to him was when it said in the future people will be telling their children stories about snow because it will no longer exists. “The world is so beautiful, and it’s so sad that it’s deteriorating,” VanDeman said. The discussion panel,

which consisted of IU professors, said it was disheartened by the fact that some people are still denying the existence of climate change. “If believing that climate change is not real is a part of your identity, more facts will probably not change your mind,” IU professor Kim Novick said. The discussion attendees asked questions about where they can find more resources to educate themselves, how they can persuade individuals who deny climate change and how they can educate others who are willing to listen. The IU professors discussed the importance of listening to climate change scientists and professors who are not denying
climate change. They informed attendees about the negative effects people have on the environment and the new methods scientists are developing to reverse these issues. One individual in the crowd asked the professors how they felt about the defunding of science programs around the country. The panel expressed their regret for program defunding, but they said they are optimistic about a future with individuals who are aware and educated. “My hopes are that we’ll look back and think ‘what a weird time when we thought that it wasn’t important to have people studying environmental science,’” IU professor Rich Phillips said.

On Friday morning at the DeVault Alumni Center six state legislators will gather to address local concerns and answer questions about the past and current Indiana state government in a forum. This event will go from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Friday. The goal of the forum, which has been put on for 10 years, is to foster dialogue between legislators and citizens, J Thomas Forbes, chief executive officer of the IU Alumni Association, said. “The people that attend hear authentic and spontaneous responses to the questions that they ask their represented officials,” Forbes said. “I always feel like democracy wins in these forums.” The legislative forums originally started with the Hoosiers for Higher Education initiative, which was a grassroots effort of IU alumni looking to be more civically engaged in the work of the state legislature, said Allie Gardner, a graduate assistant of the group. “It was created to represent the importance of higher education, and its impact on the state of Indiana,” Gardner said. Though the focus of the group was originally on higher education, it has shifted to encourage civil engagement, Gardner said. This week’s forum is sponsored by the Monroe County Chapter of the IU Alumni Association. According to a press release from IU Newsroom anyone is welcome to attend. RSVPs are encouraged because space in the DeVault Alumni Center is limited, Forbes said. According to the press release, the state legislators in attendance will be Sen. Eric Koch, R-Bedford; Sen. Mark Stoops,
D-Bloomington; Rep. Jeff Ellington, R-Bloomington; Rep. Chris May, R-Bedford; Rep. Peggy Mayfield, R-Martinsville; and Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington. No federally elected officials will be in attendance. Forbes wanted to emphasize that, though there may be increased participation in the political system from those coming to the event, the local officials will not be able to speak to the current national situation. “This was planned months in advance of the current national situation,” he said. Anne Bono will be moderating the forum. Bono is the director of advocacy and public policy at the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce and was previously director of business development and scholarships with the IU Alumni Association. The six legislators in attendance will be given time to introduce themselves and any bills they are sponsoring before Bono begins accepting written questions from the audience. As the moderator, she will then choose which questions to ask the legislators, as well as asking some questions of her own, Gardner said. The questions and forum will focus on state issues as much as possible, Gardner said. “Each forum captures the interests at any given time,” Forbes said. Both Forbes and Gardner stressed the importance of these forums in connecting legislators and people from the community, especially IU alumni. “IU alumni are very interested in getting to hear from state legislators that affect them,” Gardner said. “It’s really important for legislators to meet with IU alumni in forums like this.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 forehead and toyed with the delicate gold chain around his neck. He tried to talk to his young son, who looked just like him, with shiny, inky hair and big dark eyes, about school. “Estás emocionado para escuela mañana?” “Are you excited for school?” The boy looked up from the “Peppa Pig” book he was reading, smiled sheepishly and shrugged. Anaya reached out and mussed his hair. Anaya came to the United States 17 years ago from Jalisco, Mexico, an area fraught with cartel violence. The oldest of 10 siblings, he spent his first decade in the U.S. earning money to bring his siblings over one by one. He saw it as his duty to give them a chance at a life where they could work, have families and not fear for their safety every day. Anaya was undocumented but considered himself an American. His three children were all born in the U.S. He started his own business cleaning houses with his wife, an undocumented Guatemalan immigrant, in Indianapolis. He paid taxes and sent his children to public schools. When Trump caught the country by surprise with his executive order Jan. 25, Anaya knew things would be different. When he left for work in the morning, he couldn’t be certain he’d return home. What if he got pulled over or got into an accident? What if the police asked for his papers?
“I’m always worried now. Everything is a risk,” Anaya said in Spanish. “My kids could lose their father or mother over something that wasn’t their decision. They didn’t choose this situation.” *** When the lawyers arrived, the room went silent. Kevin Muñoz and Emma Mahern, two attorneys from Muñoz Legal, took their places at the front of the room. “To start, who here doesn’t speak English?” Muñoz asked after he introduced himself in English. Almost every Latino in the room raised a hand. “And who doesn’t speak Spanish?” More laughed as nearly every white hand went up. Muñoz and Mahern grinned at each other. “Okay, that’s great. It means I get to make all the bad jokes twice,” Muñoz said. For the rest of the meeting, Muñoz and Mahern cut back and forth between English and Spanish. They began to unpack the details of Trump’s order — how he’d changed the rules for what put people in the priority deportation group. Under Obama’s administration, only people with serious or violent crimes were considered priorities. Now the list included those with minor crimes or even past brushes with law enforcement that didn’t result in charges. Obama oversaw more deportations than any other president. “The Trail
of Tears,” Muñoz called it. However, under Obama’s administration, activist and humanitarian efforts had begun to convince the government of the human toll. “We’re moving backward several years,” Muñoz said. “This is not a Trump versus Obama thing. This is a human rights thing.” The reality was there was little advice Muñoz and Mahern could offer beyond telling people to keep to themselves and stay out of trouble. Even something like a noisy lover’s squabble could lead to cops showing up, taking someone away and putting them on the path to deportation. The lawyers said to fight the instinct to over-explain when in contact with police or immigration officials. Law enforcement can’t tell someone is undocumented just by looking at them, Muñoz said. Too often people give themselves away trying to talk their way out of tough situations. The order meant Immigration and Customs Enforcement would try to keep people as long as possible, Muñoz explained. ICE would raise bonds for smaller crimes or try to deny bonds altogether. He recommended every family start putting away money for bonds and legal fees. Couples exchanged tense glances at the mention of such financial burden. A few people looked close to tears. As the meeting dragged on a half hour past its supposed end time, Muñoz and Mahern asked members of the crowd to comment on the frightening situation

they found themselves in. When each person spoke, Muñoz nodded intently and translated their answers for the rest of the group. Not one person cursed Trump. Many tried to rationalize the order. They said the president was just trying to build a country where people respected the law, unlike the countries many of them had fled. Anaya spoke up and said he knew Trump was trying to keep families safe. He gestured at his family and said he wished it didn’t come at the cost of their security. Toward the end, a man
named Pedro Flores stood. His face was tanned and carved with wrinkles, relics of years of laboring beneath the sun. In Spanish he told the crowd he was not a man of many words and had little education, but he had something he needed to say. Flores explained he’d left behind five children in Mexico 17 years ago. He gave up the chance to see them grow so he could support them financially from the U.S. He said he knew the pain that came from being separated from family, and he wouldn’t wish it on a single soul.
His voice was clipped, and he choked back tears. He’d come here because he wanted to be an American, Flores said. However, under the new order, the years he’d spent living and working in this country meant nothing in the eyes of the government. Flores scrubbed his eyes with the heel of his hand. He knew the president wanted to keep the country safe, but he hoped Trump could see that the people he was trying to keep out were also deserving of safety and empathy. “Somos personas también.” “We are people too.”
Indiana ranks near bottom in social category in national well-being study From IDS Reports
The well-being of Indiana’s residents is among the lowest in the country, according to the 2016 study by Gallup and Healthways, with Hoosiers particularly unsatisfied with their physical and social well-being and their sense of purpose. Indiana comes in at No. 47 in the 2016 report in the State of American Well-Being series. It only beats out Oklahoma, Kentucky and deadlast West Virginia. It comes in below states including Arkansas and Ohio, who rank 46 and 45 respectively. Hawaii, Alaska, South Dakota, Maine and Colorado rank in
the top five. The study takes into account responses in five categories of well-being: purpose, social, financial, community and physical. Indiana ranks 44th in the physical category, 47th in purpose and 49th in social, in which it beats only Rhode Island. Its highestranking category is financial, in which it comes in at No. 30. Indiana’s overall ranking is a spot lower than its placement in the 2015 study.. There are some geographic trends in the overall wellbeing rankings, with the Midwest in general faring poorly. Four states — Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia — all rank in the bottom six,
and Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois and Michigan also fall in the bottom two fifths of the rankings. Nationwide, the study shows a mixture of positive and negative trends. Exercise and health care access are up, and smoking is down. However, healthy eating has decreased, and the chronic conditions — obesity, depression and diabetes — singled out by the study have all increased. According to the study, married people tend to be happiest nationwide, and millennials excel at exercise. Workplace well-being is also on its way up. Jack Evans

In national politics Wednesday, several of President Trump’s cabinet nominees continued to move through the confirmation process, and Trump made a statement from the White House for the start of Black History Month. Secretary of state confirmed The Senate confirmed Rex Tillerson as Trump’s secretary of state. Tillerson, former chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil, was confirmed in an unusually narrow vote. The Senate voted 56-43 for Tillerson’s confirmation. The most recent secretary of state, John Kerry, was confirmed in 2013 with a 94-3 vote. An uncertain relationship with China in the aftermath of Trump’s executive action to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, strong ties between Trump and Russia, moving the United States embassy in Israel from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv guarantee many challenges for Tillerson’s position. Trump’s recent announcement that he is putting Iran “on notice” after a missile test and an increasingly negative relationship
with Mexico also present potential challenges.
Steven Mnuchin is to head the treasury.
Republican senators oppose education secretary pick Two Republican senators announced Wednesday they would vote against the confirmation of Betsy DeVos as secretary of education. Sens. Susan Collins, RMaine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said they would not vote for DeVos. With many senators predicting all Democratic senators will vote against DeVos as well, the vote for her confirmation could end in a tie. GOP suspends rules for cabinet votes Senate Democrats have boycotted the committee votes for Trump’s secretary of the treasury and secretary of health and human services for two days, so Senate Republicans suspended the rules Wednesday in order to vote for their confirmation with no Democrats present. “They have nobody to blame but themselves,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, chairman of the Finance Committee, of the move to suspend the rules and avoid the boycott, according to Politico. Both votes passed 14-0. Rep. Tom Price, R-Georgia 8th District, was confirmed to head the Department of Health and Human Services, and Goldman Sachs partner
Unclear whether Trump knows who Frederick Douglass was Trump spoke at a Black History Month event Wednesday. He praised prominent black Americans, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman, and also made a statement that could imply he believes Frederick Douglass is still alive. “Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice,” Trump said from the White House. This left several national news organizations and politicians wondering whether Trump knows who Douglass was. Douglass was born a slave in Maryland. He escaped and went on to become a wellknown author, orator, abolitionist, statesman and activist. He died in 1895. Press secretary Sean Spicer commented on the matter during the daily press briefing. “I think he wants to highlight the contributions that he has made,” Spicer said. “And I think through a lot of the actions and statements that he’s going to make, I think the contributions of Frederick Douglass will become more and more.”

Bloomington police detectives Tuesday saved a man threatening to hang himself from a parking garage by pulling him off a ledge. Police responded at about 9:15 p.m. to the garage at North Morton and West Seventh streets after a 19-yearold man called them and said he was considering jumping from the top of the garage,
Bloomington Police Department Lt. John Kovach said. Responding officers and detectives found the man sitting on a ledge at the top of the garage with a noose around his neck attached to his parked car. Police talked to him for between 20 and 25 minutes, during which time the man told police he was having difficulties with mental illness, Kovach said.
During the negotiation, one of the detectives, Jake Hunter, moved behind the man in a position where he couldn’t be seen. When he got close enough, he and detective Chris Scott lunged forward and pulled the man from the ledge. Police took the man to IU Health Bloomington Hospital for a mental evaluation. Jack Evans

Straighten out our tax code Indiana lawmakers should make their minds up about taxation Indiana House Bill 1002, which would increase the current 33.59 cent-per-gallon gas tax by 10 additional cents, has been approved by the House Roads and Transportation Committee. Unfortunately, this bill favors corporations rather than citizens. Furthermore, the government is wasting its time removing and adding taxes rather than reallocating funds. Rather than perpetually re-writing the tax code, lawmakers should decide where money needs to go and allocate it likewise, providing stability and normalcy to our state’s tax climate. Proponents of the bill, mostly corporations, argue it could create better transportation throughout Indiana to improve travel and ship goods. Indiana is currently projected to need $1 billion to $1.2 billion annually to maintain its existing roads and fund expansions, so
those in favor of the bill argue the gas tax will be an important stepping stone to that end. According to an IndyStar article titled “Road funding plan could shift tax burden to Indiana’s consumers,” however, this tax will mostly benefit the owners of big businesses at the expense of the middle class. Many of the Republican state lawmakers who are backing this bill also supported bills during the past five years that took away more than $600 million every year from the state’s pocketbook. This money likely could have been used for roads without going through the process of removing and adding tax codes. The Statehouse needs to make up its mind. It’s a waste of time to repeal and institute taxes to please a party base rather than managing tax dollars responsibly to begin with.
Larry DeBoer, a Purdue University economics professor, explained why this tax will mostly fall on the middle class. Some taxes, like the corporate and inheritance taxes, “tend to be more progressive. Higher income people pay more.” Because a gas tax affects anyone with a car, the burden will fall on all economic classes. Those in the middle class who have to pay 44.59 cents in state gas tax per gallon of gasoline will feel that pain a lot more acutely than those in the upper tax brackets, and this money will likely benefit corporations more than anyone else. If we look at the groups who testified in favor of the bill at the initial hearing, we find many business leaders and agricultural organizations. Rep. Dan Forestal, DIndianapolis, said he believes the people who spoke positively about the bill were looking at profits not the
actual needs of Hoosiers. The Editorial Board believes the government should collect enough taxes to maintain a safe, enjoyable driving experience in the state — as enjoyable as I-465 rush hour traffic can be, anyway. Rather than jumping through all these hoops of passing and repealing taxes as reelection strategies, our lawmakers should keep our actual interests at heart. Passing legislation that will make it more strenuous for a blue-collar worker to drive to his job every day won’t benefit our state in the long-run. Our tax code needs to take into account the long term economic consequences it is going to cause for the economy generally and workers specifically. Though it’s obviously important to have high-quality roads, Indiana’s government will have to find a better way to gain funding.
In the height of political turmoil this week, it’s hard to decide what issue to think about at any given time. It feels as if the rug is being pulled from beneath our feet. This column will at least center your focus for a few minutes on the Republican party’s threat to accessible health care. One of the main goals for Republicans (not just Donald Trump this time) is to repeal our current system of health care implemented during the Obama administration and revert back to a more conservative model. Despite its rough start and technological difficulties, Barack Obama’s health care law was able to give health insurance coverage to 20 million people. It has also helped people in smaller ways by reducing Medicare costs for seniors and providing free medical tests mammograms, colonoscopies, etc. Republicans currently plan to repeal “Obamacare.” They can’t do it all at once, but they have a strategy. They will begin by revoking anything that affects government spending and revenues with a majority vote and then going from there. This is going to hurt far more people than it could ever help; the only people that would possibly find themselves paying less overall for health care are the extremely wealthy. Seniors enrolled in Medicare will have higher premiums and a insufficient insurance coverage for drugs. Also, enrollees will lose any access to free preventative screenings for many life-threatening diseases. Seniors are generally most likely to run into more health issues than any other age group, so the targeting of Medicare is extremely unfair for them. Overall, senior citizens will be paying more for their medicine, and they will be less likely to get screenings that could prevent health conditions early on. Essentially, seniors will be paying extreme amounts of money at any health issue they may run into. Repealing “Obamacare” will also get rid of the mandate for employers to

provide insurance. Most large employers already do this and would lose business if they were to stop, but many small businesses would be able to take advantage of this change on their employees who work over 30 hours per week. Those covered by insurance from their employer are also likely to lose many benefits they had under “Obamacare.” For example, contraceptives and preventative screenings will no longer be required by law. This unfairly targets women who otherwise cannot afford necessities such as contraceptives or screenings like mammograms. This mandate in the Affordable Care Act has been extremely controversial, mostly for social reasons instead of financial. Many Republicans wish to get rid of this mandate solely because they do not believe employers should be forced to provide contraceptives if it goes against their religious beliefs. This unfairly targets women who otherwise cannot afford necessities such as contraceptives or screenings like mammograms. Many people with preexisting health conditions will not be able to find health care coverage if they have not been continuously insured in the past. These conditions can be as common as asthma or diabetes. Republicans are planning to replace “Obamacare” with tax credits instead of subsidies, high risk pools for the sick and Medicaid block grants. Overall, many American citizens will find themselves paying more and having more difficulties being insured. All hope is not lost. It is extremely easy to contact our senators and representatives in Indiana and make your voice heard. If you will be unfairly affected by changes in government health care, call your representatives and let them know. Direct action is the only way to make a change. emmagetz@umail.iu.edu
THURSDAY THOUGHTS
MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM
Senate: confirm Betsy DeVos
February blues descend again
The nomination of Betsy DeVos has been met with a great deal of opposition from critics of the Trump administration. While I am no fan of the President, and have major concerns with several of his high profile nominees, such as Scott Pruitt and Robert Lighthizer, Betsy DeVos is an excellent pick to run the Department of Education. Mrs. DeVos has been a champion of the movement for greater choice in our public schools for decades, and has the right experience to make major improvements on our education system. Under our current education system, wealthier schools such as Carmel High School out perform poorer public schools such as George Washington High School on the west side of Indianapolis. Only 8% of Carmel High School Students receive free school lunch, compared to 76% of the students at George Washington. Carmel received an “A” rating from the State of Indiana for the 2015-2016 school year, and had a graduation rate of 97%. This contrasts sharply with
George Washington which received a “D” rating and had a graduation rate of only 55% for the same year. Mrs. DeVos sees the moral injustice of this, and believes that all students deserve a quality education that will allow them to go as far as their talents will take them. During her tenure as the chair of the American Federation for Children, she worked to promote voucher systems and charter schools to give parents trapped in failing school districts more options for their children’s education. The AFC gave its highest rating to the program in Florida established in 2001. This program allows students whose parents make salaries up to 200% of the poverty line to apply for scholarships of up to $6000 to pay for them to go to private schools. This program is very popular in Florida, and was used by 92,000 students in the 20152016 school year, which was a 17% increase from the year before. As Secretary of Education, Mrs. DeVos would work to see similar programs expanded across the country,

while allowing states to work out the details. A similar program to the one in Florida here in Indiana might allow a student attending George Washington High School to get a scholarship to attend a nearby private school such as Brebeuf Jesuit Catholic High School, which received the same A rating as Carmel High School for the 2015-2016 school year, and had an identical graduation rate. This competition among private schools and charter schools for students and funding will breed a better school environment and raise attainment standards for all students. This can only happen if we have a Secretary of Education who is willing to take power away from the Teacher’s Unions and give it back to parents and families. The senate should confirm Betsy DeVos to ensure that every child has an equal opportunity to get a quality education. jusexton@umail.iu.edu
Unfortunately, February is upon us. Not many of my friends or acquaintances enjoy February. It’s usually because Valentine’s Day lies smack in the middle, but it’s also really cold and the meat of the first eight weeks of the semester. I am not looking forward to February. I spend the first half of the month avoiding happy couples, and I spend the second half eating my weight in leftover chocolates that my friends bought me. However, I’m trying to turn the prospect of Valentine’s Day around. At the beginning of the semester, I was recommended a New York Mag advice column by a friend. It belonged to the Ask Polly column and regarded the question of “Why am I always too much for men?” For me, this has been a frequent question in my head ever since I first began thinking about boys. Even more recently, I’ve thought this about myself. So of course, the onslaught of Valentine’s Day has me
stressed out and concerned about my lack of love life. I think we could all benefit from “Polly’s” kind of outlook for the next year. “Polly” gave sage advice to the woman who wrote in by telling her to stop having unrealistic expectations going in to a relationship. This really resonated with me in terms of my relationships with men and in terms of platonic relationships as well. I’ve always put 100 percent of myself into everything, except for math or waking up on time, that I do. While in the platonic field of relationships, my friends appreciate the open heart I offer and the eagerness to please. This article helped me come to terms with accepting being too much for certain people. I’ve also come to realize that at my ripe age of 20, not many other people my age are looking for the same things I’m looking for. Honestly, I don’t even know if I’m looking for the things I’m looking for.
MIRANDA GARBACIAK is a junior in creative writing.
I like to say I’m looking for a relationship or something more permanent than hookup culture, but I think if I were to be presented with a real-life boy interested in a real, loving relationship, I would probably freeze up. What I’m getting at here is sometimes it only takes one anonymous woman online to help me realize that I’m expecting too much when I’m not entirely sure what I want. Maybe we will all be happier with ourselves if we focus on figuring out what we want at this phase in our lives first. Think about it, guys. This is technically a transitional period between high school and real life or grad school if you like that kind of suffering so maybe we should stop assuming everyone is interested in a relationship or long-term interaction. mmgarbac@umail.iu.edu

Sophomore center Thomas Bryant works toward the Penn State on Wednesday. The Hoosiers beat the Nittany Lions, 110-102, in triple overtime.
Thomas Bryant has a career-high 31 points By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork
Missing its leading scorer junior guard James Blackmon Jr., IU needed someone to turn to on offense. Sophomore forward Thomas Bryant took up that mantle, dominated Penn State on Wednesday and saved the game multiple times for the Hoosiers. Bryant’s career-high 31 points helped IU hold off Penn State in triple overtime by a final of 110-102.
This performance came just one game after tying his previous career-high. Bryant scored 23 points in a loss to Northwestern on Sunday. Bryant’s scoring outburst has come right at the time when the Hoosiers need it most. “Thomas has responded very well in the sense when James has gone down,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “I don’t think we can give context to how much it affected that group, especially those sophomores when OG went
down.” Bryant credited his mindset for his recent successes that have seen him score 54 points in his last two games. “Just staying aggressive,” Bryant said. “Just taking what the defense gives me. When people go down, everybody else’s play steps up.” Bryant shot 13 of 18 from the field against the Nittany Lions, with many of those critical shots coming while the game hung in the balance. Bryant dominated the post all game and dictated
how Penn State defended the Hoosiers. IU scored 60 points in the paint Wednesday because Bryant’s presence down low drew double and triple teams from Penn State. His first half helped IU get out to a nine-point lead going into halftime as he had 13 points in the first 20 minutes, shooting five of six from the field. “He was very consistent,” junior guard Rob Johnson said of Bryant. “That’s something we always talk about establishing a game from the paint. We always want to play
through the paint whether it’s through the dribble-drive or through the post feed, and I think he did a great job of making reads, attacking when it was there one-onone and getting all the other guys involved too.” As a sophomore, Bryant is being asked to do significantly more than he did during his freshman campaign. Last season, IU had Yogi Ferrell, Troy Williams and plenty of other scoring options off the bench. Crean said Bryant is gaining confidence as he
beginning to see himself in a larger leadership role. “He works very hard every day, but right now, he’s even more purposeful than what he’s been,” Crean said. “Exactly what you want him to be. It’s a tough role for a 19-year old to step into. He’s a very good player, but to have to step into that leadership role at that age and have that responsibility on his shoulders, not only to play well but have his teammates play well, that’s a big thing. So I’m very proud of him for that.”

COLUMN: IU wins comical and ultimately insignificant game
Tom Allen’s son becomes a Hoosier after Signing Day
NaCl. The chemical formula of sodium chloride is NaCl. What this scientific term essentially translates to is table salt. Salt is in everything — seawater, your food and my analysis of the IU-Penn State basketball game. What we just collectively watched over a period of three hours was thrilling, absurd and bordering on the impossible. The Hoosiers won, which is fine and dandy, but ultimately their victory should be taken with the ultimate grain of salt. They could have easily lost. Freshman center De’Ron Davis could have easily missed one of his free throws at the end of the regulation. Junior point guard Josh Newkirk’s fingertip may have been touching the ball at the end of the first overtime when he tied the game. Yes, IU won, but it was against Penn State in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in a game the Hoosiers led by nine at halftime. The fact is, this win may not be replicable. Sophomore big man Thomas Bryant put up 31 points. Junior guard Robert Johnson and Newkirk both had 27. IU carved up Penn State’s defense. The problem
is the Nittany Lions did the same against the Hoosiers. Perhaps the glaring flaw for IU right now is its inability to stop the opposition. In the last three games the Hoosiers have given up almost 87 points per game. They’re usually able to put points on the board, but with their constant defensive lapses there’s a definitive ceiling to this team. Freshmen Lamar Stevens and Tony Carr carved up the Hoosiers consistently. Constant switching led persistent gaffes by the IU defense. On the other side of the ball, motion still seems hard to find. Plenty of possessions at the end of regulation and the first two overtimes resulted in inept isolation ball. We’ve seen this in the losses as well. The Hoosiers ultimately got lucky Wednesday. Hoosier basketball at the moment is the definition of a bubble team. They’ve had some tremendous victories early on in the season that could sneak them into the real tournament come March. This is accompanied with some brutal losses that could be the major factor sending them to the NIT instead of the Big Dance. Against Penn State, IU did
its best to encompass every major theme of the season. Bryant playing monstrously to blunders on both sides of the ball to a raucous crowd to an unsatisfying game conclusion. IU Coach Tom Crean’s squad had 23 turnovers and still won. If that’s not a microcosm of what the Hoosiers have been through during the 2016-17 campaign, nothing is. The Hoosiers are good. We’ve known that for quite some time. They can get hot any night and have the starpower to match up with anyone in the Big Ten. IU is also relentlessly mediocre at times, as the Northwestern and Michigan losses in the past week showed. This game, as interesting and curious as it was, gave us nothing new. All we can do is take this 110-point outburst and victory with a grain of salt. It seems appropriate with this Hoosier team that this outlandish and inexplicable game provides us with nothing. It’s an enjoyable victory, but when we look back at the season, that’s all it’s going to be — a peculiar victory in a less-than-peculiar season. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31

IU swim and dive earns two awards From IDS Reports
The Big Ten announced Wednesday that IU juniors Blake Pieroni and Michael Hixon were named Big Ten Swimmer of the Week and Diver of the Week, respectively. This is the third time this year Peroni has earned the award and the sixth time in his career.
Hixon also earned Diver of the Week for the third time this season and overall boasts seven nods to this point in his career. In a win over No. 4 Louisville last Friday, Pieroni won both the 100 and 200-yard freestyle with NCAA B cut times. He also helped win the 400-yard freestyle relay in
2:56.11. Hixon dominated in diving by sweeping the 1 and 2-meter springboard events with NCAA qualifying scores in both. The Hoosiers now turn their sights to the Big Ten Championships, which will take place Feb. 22-25 in Columbus, Ohio. Ben Portnoy

IU Coach Tom Allen welcomed 23 young men to his football program during Wednesday’s National Signing Day. Twenty-two of them will look to quickly develop a relationship with their new head coach, but one new Hoosier has known Allen his entire life. Linebacker Thomas Allen, son of Tom, played at Plant High School in Tampa, Florida. He was one of the first players to commit and sign to the IU class of 2017. The linebacker has been on campus for the spring semester after, committing in June and signing with IU in December. For Tom, the recruiting process needed to be fair, the coach said. He didn’t want any bias or misdirection when it came to his son’s future. The recruiting process didn’t even start at IU. It started when Tom was coaching at South Florida. “They came to me and they said, ‘We want to offer your son,’” Tom said of the South Florida coaching staff. “And I’m like, ‘Alright, go ahead. I don’t want to have anything to do with it. I don’t want to recruit him. I don’t want to evaluate him. I want you guys to treat him like anybody else, but take me out of the mix.” Tom said he wanted Thomas to have a normal recruiting process. He also wanted his son to feel like he had been recruited by a position coach and a program that he wanted to play for. He didn’t want his son to be treated any different-
ly from other recruits. He truly wanted to be Thomas’ dad, not his coach. That’s why when Plant had advanced to the Florida high school football level 7A state final in December, Tom was there to hug Thomas in congratulations just days after receiving the IU head coaching job. He wasn’t there to recruit. He wasn’t there to build his new program. He was there to be Thomas’ dad. Plant head football coach Robert Weiner said Tom was just a typical father among the others. Tom grilled at the concession stand and cheered the team on rather instead of trying to coach it. Tom said he knew those moments were going to be few and far between if Thomas went anywhere but IU, but he knew he would see every game his son played at IU. The coach consulted Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz, who coached his own son James when James was playing offensive line at Iowa. He asked Ferentz if the relationship between he and his son would change. Ferentz assured him he had no problems with the matter. Tom played for his own father while growing up in New Castle, Indiana. He understood the line to be drawn between coaches and their sons, but in college, the ties were emphasized a bit, Tom said. The Allen family weighed the extremes and decided going to IU was what was best for Thomas, Tom said. “I never dreamed I
would be his head coach,” Tom said. “That wasn’t the plan. Obviously this is where we’re at, and he’s going to be treated like everybody else. I say that to our players — he’s a player over here. He’s going to have to earn his way. He knows that, and that’s part of the deal.” He won’t be the best athlete on the field, Tom said. However, Weiner said Thomas has the intangibles that make his teams championship teams. Thomas played in three state championships in high school and lost his last one in 2016. He was co-captain with fellow IU commit Juwan Burgess. “Thomas is one-in-amillion,” Weiner said in the days leading up to National Signing Day. “He knows how to get the coach’s message across while still being one of the guys, and that’s not an easy thing to do.” Weiner said Thomas would shout after his teammates while leaving morning workouts that he better not hear about one of his teammates being a disturbance in class. That’s just who Thomas is, he said. Weiner called him the finest young man he’s ever coached. Now Thomas is a Hoosier. He will fight for a spot on the NCAA’s most improved defense in terms of yards allowed in 2016. “You gotta leave it out there and separate it,” Tom said about their father-son relationship. “He’s in the dorms and a normal student like everybody else,” he said. “Just happens to be my son.”

IU survives triple-overtime thriller By Zain Pyarali
110-102
zpyarali@iu.edu | @zainpyarali
There were many different times the game Wednesday night between IU men’s basketball and Penn State could have ended — four different times, to be exact. It could have ended with IU blowing a 13-point firsthalf lead, but freshman forward De’Ron Davis hit two clutch free throws with three seconds left in regulation to force overtime. There was also a chance that a replay review could have ended this game, but junior guard Josh Newkirk got the basketball out of his hand with a tenth of a second left on the game clock to force a double overtime. IU also had a chance to win it in double overtime, but a broken possession as the clock expired forced a third overtime. In the end, it took three overtimes Wednesday night for IU to put away Penn State at home, 110-102, in the longest game ever in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall and the second triple-overtime game in IU basketball history. “Every team made mistakes, but every team made big plays, it had a lot of everything, not a little of everything, a lot of everything and the proudest thing I am with these guys is how they never gave in,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “There were numerous times we could have won it, there were times Penn State could have won it, and it really came down to a battle of wills.” The Hoosiers were without their leading scorer junior guard James Blackmon Jr. for the second consecutive game with a lower leg injury. Blackmon had been the savior for IU the last time these two teams met two weeks ago by hitting a 3-pointer at the buzzer after the Hoosiers squandered a 13-point lead on the road. In Sunday’s loss at Northwestern it was evident the Hoosiers were missing Blackmon’s production in the backcourt. Junior guard Robert Johnson and

Junior guard Josh Newkirk finished with a whether or not he and other applicants will be hired even after contacting the Department of State . “They don’t know if it’s hiring new people, people that are paid or people at all,” Cole said. “They may be able to hire because it’s unpaid, but they couldn’t tell me.”
career-high 27 points and hit four of IU’s six 3-pointers. He had 10 points in the three overtime periods. Newkirk only attempted one shot in the first matchup between these teams and was one of eight from the floor last game against Northwestern. Cole is studying international studies and economics. He said he always wanted to go into a foreign or civil service job, but, with no progress on the status of his government internships, Cole said he is looking into the private sector. It concerns him the internship options he had last year
“I think it was great for him and for the team,” Johnson said of Newkirk. “He came out aggressive, and you know when he comes out like that he’s hard to deal with. I think this will be something good for him to build on because we’re going to need it may no longer exist, he said.

Bae is an infantryman with
moving forward.” Newkirk, Johnson and Bryant all finished with career high in points. Bryant led the way with 31 points, and Johnson matched Newkirk’s 27. Coming into Wednesday night’s game the Hoosiers were last in the Big Ten with nearly 15 turnovers per game, and Penn State was first with nearly 15 forced turnovers a game. The Hoosiers coughed up the ball 23 times in the 55-minute game leading to 29 Penn State points. However, poor free throw shooting by the Nittany Lions bailed out the Hoosiers from losing the game in regulation. Penn State missed all five of its free throw attempts in the first half, but stayed close due to streaky 3-point shooting and the Hoosiers over-helping on defense. It wasn’t just the production of Bryant, Newkirk and Johnson on Wednesday night that propelled IU past Penn State. Freshman guard Devonte Green also contributed large minutes in the triple-overtime win. Green made his second career start and put up 10 points in the win and had a key steal and layup off an inbounds pass after a made three by Newkirk that put IU up five in the final overtime. “I only saw the tail end of him making the basket,” Crean said. “We were trying to get the team down the court when he hit the three. It was huge. By the crowd’s reaction and our bench reaction, monumental play inside a great game that had a lot of big moments.” Crean said his biggest takeaway was that his guys never gave in and his team continues to fight despite missing key players. “We had some real growth tonight,” Crean said. “And I’ve coached a long time. I hope I coach a while longer, but I will remember this one for the rest of my life.” the Indiana Army National Guard who said he’s always been passionate about working in the public sector. “It didn’t really surprise me that much considering what their goals are,” Bae said. “What they’re trying to accomplish makes a lot of sense especially because the Department of Defense didn’t
project that it would be difficult, but I don’t think we understood how difficult it would be,” Sullivan said. “The process has been exciting and exhausting, a very steep learning curve.” Director Katie Horwitz is a friend, and Sullivan said she was excited to work with her on the production. Horwitz, a third year master of fine arts student and director, said the challenges were not only those of character but of writing as well. “The text of this show is both beautiful and difficult and the characters are wonderfully complex and theatrical, but that makes accessing them an incredible challenge,” Horwitz said. “On top of the language and character work, Webster wrote in not only many location changes, but time changes that we must try to make clear.” One of the biggest hurdles in performing this show as the first of the spring semester is the break that comes in the middle of practice. Sullivan said the cast started working before the winter break, took time off and returned immediately to build on their progress. The show is not only entertaining but a poignant statement in the face of some of the recent political changes in regards to both corruption and treatment of women. “The desire to ignore and marginalize women’s bodies and to control them is very strong,” Sullivan said. “For better or for worse, it’s something that’s in the public eye. This show does a very interesting job of examining the desire to control and corruption and lust for power and lust in general — how that can distort people.” Horwitz said the brothers in the show act as representatives of the “church” and “state,” both vying for command of the feminine body. “We are currently dealing with a push back against feminism in our society,” Horwitz said. “Whenever progress is being made for a marginalized group, those against it will push back harder than before. Given our current political climate, it is incredibly important to tell stories that point to the issue that still exists, hundreds of years later, of female autonomy.” get any hiring frozen.” For now, students seeking federal internships will have to wait for guidance from the Trump administration or see how the agencies interpret the freeze policies. As a result of the insecurity, many, like Cole, have turned to the private sector as they wait for the gray area to become clear.

This year’s festival was host to everything from a star-studded women’s march to a variety of exciting films. Weekend reporter Blake Schwarz braved long lines and a few feet of snow to see 10 films during his time at Sundance. Day One: Tuesday, Jan. 24 My movies started Wednesday at 6 p.m., so Tuesday was spent simply unpacking, acclimating and exploring. I can’t stress enough how beautiful Park City is. Even though it has been under 20 degrees with more than two feet of snow, walking around outside was absolutely invigorating and hasn’t gotten old at all. Because this was my first Sundance, I had a lot of planning to do in order to make sure I could get from theater to theater in time for each movie. Even in just the first few hours, I learned so much about time management — don’t schedule movies less than four hours apart. The learning curve will definitely help the next trip run smoothly. Day Two: Wednesday, Jan. 25 My friend and fellow movie buff Chok Suwanavisootr drove to Park City with me around 10 a.m. so we could explore the town, visit exclusive pass-holder venues and eat some local food — Davanza’s pizza was a favorite. I saw “Landline,” “Newness” and “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore,” all of which I thoroughly enjoyed for very different reasons. The last two films had question-andanswer sessions from the directors and cast members, which was a bit surreal after watching their films. “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore” ended up winning the Grand Jury Prize for a Dramatic Film, Sundance’s highest honor. All in all, day one was incredible. I saw movies that made me laugh, cry and wince in that order, and met fantastic people with similar interests. Day Three: Thursday, Jan. 26 After attending a midnight premiere last night and getting home at around 3 a.m., having to get up at 6 a.m. for an early morning movie wasn’t as fun as it may sound. Fortunately, the thought of being at Sundance and seeing new movies was an emotional defibrillator for me, so waking up energized wasn’t difficult. Chok and I arrived in Park City about 90 minutes before my film started, which we decided was the perfect amount of time before every showing. I was lucky enough to see “A Ghost Story”
and “Thoroughbred” today, both of which sold out and were amazing films. Then we ate dinner at an unbelievably classy restaurant called 350 Main, where our waitress kept bragging about all of the celebrities, including Peter Dinklage and Shailene Woodley, “the girl from ‘Divergent,” she’d served during the week. So far everybody I’ve met here has been so happy and friendly, and they all made my trip even more enjoyable.

Day Four: Friday, Jan. 27 My judgement was premature — Sundance may hide behind a façade of joy and friendliness, but it is actually a savage freefor-all where an avid movie-goer can’t hesitate or show mercy. I’m half joking, but the wait list to get into certain releases is quite a gamble. However, it’s sometimes necessary. Luckily, I made it in to see “Ingrid Goes West” today but was one of the last five people to enter the auditorium. Hundreds behind me didn’t make it in. I wouldn’t have had to deal with the wait list if I had given myself time to travel from theater to theater — lesson learned. Afterward, I saw “Berlin Syndrome,” which was intense and thrilling. At night, we went to a fun dramatization of a “Sheriffs vs. Robbers” skit, which contained an exciting gun fight between the two sides and ended with all of the robbers dying and the casthanding out candy for all of the children in the crowd. Day four was yet another blast and ended with another night of just four hours of sleep.
Day Five: Saturday, Jan. 28 Running on little sleep was not something I could complain about when every day was filled with incredible sights both in my surroundings and on the screens. That being said, I started off Saturday with the only disappointing film — “Golden Exits” — of my trip. The following two films, however, were my absolute favorites: “Chasing Coral” and “Band Aid.” The first of those two ended in thunderous applause and left the entire audience in tears, myself included. Viewing these last two films alone would have made my week worth the price of admission. My ticket package included two tickets to the Awards Night Ceremony, but the twohour line in zero-degree weather turned my new friend Seth and me away to the bars instead, and, in keeping with my new Sundance tradition, I ended the last night with only four hours of sleep before I left for Bloomington. Taking a look back The Sundance Film Festival is a dream come true for movie lovers of all kinds. Every festival-goer was excited and friendly, and I made plenty of professional and personal connections. At “Landline,” I met the parents of one of the Music Supervisors for “Band Aid.” At “Newness,” I met the Director of the Sydney Film Festival. From theater to theater, I sat next to fellow cinephiles and had fantastic conversations with each of them about our studies, favorite films and aspirations. What I loved most about Sundance was that it removed the veil between filmmakers and moviegoers. Watching films with the cast and crew in the same room, and then participating in a question-and-answer session afterwards really connected the two groups in a way that I had never experienced before. All but one of my screenings was completely sold out and dozens of people were turned away because of it. Every movie, good or bad, ended with uproarious applause, which made every audience a pleasure to be a part of. Sundance was an unforgettable experience and was, without a doubt, one of the best and most rewarding weeks of my life. Blake Schwarz blakschw@indiana.edu @TheCinemaElite

2017 lineup promises indie hits Blake Schwarz blakschw@indiana.edu @TheCinemaElite
Weekend reporter Blake Schwarz saw ten movies in his time at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, ranging from paranormal sci-fi to an Instagram-centered dark comedy. “Landline” is a comedic drama about a family of liars and cheaters living in the 1990s. To quote the person I sat next to, this movie was “adorable,” largely because it’s a film about love and family. The story studies those elements individually as well as together, but never in a way that feels recycled. Lead actress Jenny Slate’s usual refreshing comedy made the film even more entertaining. “Newness” is a distinct 21st-century love story about online dating, exploring a relationship between two people addicted to an app similar to Tinder. While this film certainly had a point to make, the story never felt preachy and instead offered a very unique take on modern love. Director Drake Doremus is great at delivering both heartwarming and heartbreaking love stories, and “Newness” is both of those in the best of ways. “I Don’t Feel at Home
in This World Anymore” is a dark and bloody comedy about a single middle-aged woman, played by Melanie Lynskey, who gets robbed and recruits her strange neighbor to help her track down the thieves. Elijah Wood is hilarious as a martial arts-obsessed manchild, which you’ll be able to see for yourself in less than a month on Netflix. “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore” ended up winning the Grand Jury Prize for a Dramatic Film this year, Sundance’s highest honor. “A Ghost Story” marks writer-director David Lowery’s return to Sundance after helming Disney’s “Pete’s Dragon” this past year. This genre-bending indie film is about a couple that lives happily together until the husband dies in a car accident and returns to haunt his wife. The 4:3 ratio with documentary-inspired cinéma vérité aspects will turn off a large portion of the audience, but trust me — those who give this film a chance will find that it’s well worth the watch. “Thoroughbred” was written and directed by newcomer Cory Finley, who adapted the screenplay from a play that he also wrote.

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE
David Lowery’s “A Ghost Story” features Rooney Mara as a grieving widow.
Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy portray an emotionless girl and her spoiled peer, who plot a murder together. The film is character-driven instead of being visually stun-
ning, but Finley makes the adaptation work for the big screen. “Ingrid Goes West” features Aubrey Plaza as an insane Instagram stalker in
this Los Angeles-set dark comedy. “Ingrid Goes West” delivers plenty of laughs, but viewers with second-hand embarrassment may want to avoid this one. If you’re
into awkward comedy, then this film is perfect for you, but I couldn’t fully enjoy it due to how often it made me SEE REVIEW, PAGE 12
Streaming services leave with big buys Kate Halliwell khalliwe@indiana.edu @Kate__Halliwell
Every year, the Sundance Film Festival provides a revealing look at the state of the independent film industry. As films premiere on the festival circuit, they are snapped up by distributors and studios for distribution later in the year. While Sundance 2017 saw the usual bidding wars erupt over exciting films like “Mudbound” and “The Big Sick,” the victors of those wars were unexpected.
Streaming services Netflix and Amazon came to Sundance this year with wallets wide open, and they left with significantly more purchases than any other distributors. According to the final list of Sundance purchases, Netflix ended up with 10 films, including festival favorites “Mudbound” and “Casting JonBenet.” Odds are good that while all of their purchases will eventually make their way onto the streaming site, Netflix will plan theatrical releases for the more commercial films.
Amazon has a bit more experience buying acclaimed films at Sundance than Netflix, considering Amazon bought “Manchester by the Sea” at last year’s festival and continues to profit from its awards season run. Amazon purchased four total titles, including romcom “The Big Sick,” from this year’s lineup. This is where things get interesting. Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon’s real life love story may have a successful limited release later this year, but it’s hard to imagine a major studio paying more
than a few million dollars for “The Big Sick” in years past. This year, with streaming services driving up the prices, Amazon shelled out $12 million for the film. Netflix’s equally expensive purchase of Dee Rees’ “Mudbound” prompts similar concerns. Even if a regular studio had offered $12.5 million for the racial drama as Netflix did, the studio would likely be planning a huge awards season run. Netflix has never successfully marketed a film for awards, and gambling that much money on a first-time
Oscar contender is a surprising move for the company. While the streaming services seemed to value quantity over assured quality, other experienced studios took a more reserved approach. A24 snapped up pre-festival rights to David Lowery’s “A Ghost Story,” which will likely be an arthouse hit. A24 has proven in recent years that a small selection of distinct films can take them far, and we can expect no different from the scrappy little studio this year. Sony Pictures Classics also came into Sundance with
pre-festival worldwide rights to “Call Me By Your Name,” avoiding a potentially costly bidding war and keeping the price tag at a reasonable $6 million. While Netflix and Amazon may have had unconventional approaches to the Sundance marketplace, those deep pockets may work in their favor. If Netflix can run a successful awards campaign for “Mudbound,” perhaps one that imitates Amazon’s 2016 “Manchester By the Sea” run, that high Sundance bill will pay for itself.

Margaret Glaspy will debut her album “Emotions and Math” in June, and is visiting to share her music with Bloomington music lovers Thursday at the Bishop.
Glaspy prepares for concert By Sierra Vandervort svanderv@indiana.edu @the_whimsical
“Compact grunge-rock and breezy torch songs,” is how online music magazine Pitchfork describes the debut of folk pop artist Margaret Glassy. The 27-year-old California native will be performing with Bad Bad Hats at 9:30 p.m. Thursday at the Bishop Bar. Talent buyer for the Bishop Dan Coleman also works with the local promotions team Spirit of ’68, which is also the host of Thursday night’s performance. “She’s having quite a run,” Coleman said. “Last May she was opening for the
Milk Carton Kids at the Buskirk. Now year on she has released an acclaimed album.” After she released her EP, “If & When,” in 2012, her debut album “Emotions and Math” was released by ATO Records last June. Since then, she’s wrapped up her 2016 European tour and released a two-track Spotify Singles EP, including a cover of Lauryn Hill’s famed “ExFactor.” She will be bringing her performance of “Emotions and Math” to the Bishop and exploring themes of lost love, old small town memories and the “power of specifics to tell universal truths.” Also an experienced producer, Glaspy self-produced
the new-album, a 12-track debut full of warm, intimate compositions next to biting, punk-influenced tracks. After recording the song’s demos twice on her own, she took them to Sear Sound Studios in New York City to lay down the final tracks. Her clean and trim production style showcases her innovative songwriting and production skills. On the track “You Don’t Want Me,” an uncertain love song about internal confliction, Glaspy sings a duet with herself: “’Cause you don’t want me, you don’t need me,” she sings in her own delicate melody. “I do, you’re on my mind every night of the week,” she answers herself in a pitched
MARGARET GLASPY & BAD BAD HATS Tickets $12 9 p.m. Thursday, the Bishop down version of her own voice. Ahead in 2017, she’ll be embarking on a tour across the United States., Europe and Australia and will be joined on various dates by popular folk outfits the Lumineers and singer-songwriter Andrew Bird, including a headlining performance in the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. “She is a gifted songwriter and a mesmerizing performer,” Coleman said. “It feels like we are catching lightning in a bottle.”
Leftover Salmon returns to Bluebird By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13
The Bluebird Nightclub will fill with the sounds of bluegrass, country and something extra this week. Leftover Salmon, a jam band from Boulder, Colorado, will visit Bloomington for a concert at 9 p.m. Friday at the Bluebird. The group originally formed in 1989 and has continued to play its specific brand of aggressive bluegrass rock. Drew Emmitt contributes a combination of vocals, acoustic and electric mandolin, electric guitar and fiddle and said the group is excited to return to Bloomington. “It’s a great town,” Emmitt said. “I think it’s one of the coolest spots in the Midwest, to be honest. Bloomington has got some really great mojo going on.” Emmitt plays today alongside Greg Garrison,
responsible for vocals, acoustic and electric bass; Vince Herman on vocals, acoustic guitar and washboard; Andy Thorn with vocals, acoustic and electric banjo; Alwyn Robinson on drums; and Erik Deutsch on keyboard. Emmitt said he has a long-running interest in music. His interested started in the cities where he grew up. “I’ve just always loved music. When I was a kid, I played piano and then started playing strings when I was eight probably,” Emmitt said. “I’ve just always played. I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, which kind of had a lot to do with that, as did living in Colorado hearing a lot of great music for a long time.” The sound of Leftover Salmon crosses a few genres reflective of both the interests of the group and the places the band visits. “It’s a wide palette of
musical tastes,” Emmitt said. “We go a lot of places and a lot of musical styles and a lot of journeys happen on the Salmon stage. We do a lot of fun stuff.” Having a crowd enjoy the style of Leftover Salmon is part of the enjoyment of the playing experience, Emmitt said. “We just hope the audience is having at least half as much fun as we’re having because we just have a blast,” Emmitt said. “There’s just a lot of different influences in the band that create that — a lot of musical backgrounds collectively — and it generates a lot of excitement.” Having formed in the late 1980s, the band has had plenty of experience playing together and enjoys committing time to traveling and doing shows. The band is fully committed to playing and touring, rather than making music
LEFTOVER SALMON Tickets $20 9 p.m. Friday, the Bluebird the side job, Emmitt said. “It has been, since the band started, my job, and it has been quite a blessing to be able to do this for a living,” Emmitt said. “I’m very thankful that we get to do this, people dig it, and it’s a beautiful thing.” Emmitt said the band looks forward to bringing the spring warmth and energy to Bloomington. “Here in Colorado it’s in the 40s today, and it’s really starting to feel like spring,” he said. “I know it’s only February, but I’m really hoping it’s going to feel like spring in the Midwest, too. If not, we’ll make them feel like it is. I just hope people come on out and have a good time with us. It’s going to be a throwdown night.”

Upon my arrival in Rome there was a non-negotiable stop that I had to make during the two days I spent there. I needed to see the Sistine Chapel. From friends who spoke of Rome, the chapel was a must-see in Italy’s capital that many viewed as even better than touring the Colosseum and tossing coins into the Trevi Fountain. My experience getting in and out of the Vatican Museum, where the Sistine Chapel rests, was less than ideal. Uber prices from the train station to the Vatican surged from 20 to 40 euros in a matter of 30 seconds, and upon arriving at the museum I was greeted by a rather questionable tour guide trying to convince me that I could only get in if I bought tickets from him. When I stepped onto a terrace I assumed was part of the museum as I exited the Sistine Chapel, I was quickly informed that I could not re-enter to get my bags, and I had to run around to the entrance of the Vatican within the next 10 minutes before closing to retrieve my belongings. Many people might think that paying for an overpriced Uber, being harassed by an odd tour guide and having to run a mile in ten minutes to get your belongings would most certainly not be worth being stuffed into a small room with more than 100 people. However, those people would be wrong. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. The Vatican closed at 4 p.m. and we arrived at 2 p.m. Let me tell you, the Vatican Museum is a day trip by itself. My roommates and I quickly passed from one room to another and rarely picked up our jaws off the ground. We saw gigantic tapestries, ancient statutes and enormous, 3-D maps of regions of Italy built into marble walls. That alone transported me to another time. After about an hour and a half of speed walking past various beautiful pieces of art, we finally arrived

behind a large crowd of people trying to enter the final destination on a tour to the Vatican. My first glance of the Sistine Chapel was its ceiling covered in countless paintings telling a story of hatred, love and every emotion in between. I was most overwhelmed when the guards would yell, “No pictures or phones and silence!” The first time the room went quiet, I was facing the wall with Michelangelo’s “The Last Judgement.” In that moment, I knew that there was nothing that could make me feel as if coming to see this weren’t worth the obstacles. I’m not always moved by art instantaneously. However, when art does move me, it’s an indescribable feeling. When I saw the Sistine Chapel, it was a combination of shock and awe. It was the way the artists who touched the Sistine Chapel had shown the utmost commitment to their faith by creating a masterpiece devoted to the God they worshipped. I found myself amazed by the ability of their depictions of Christ and the events of the Bible to connect to my faith centuries later as I glanced around the room artists spent years of their lives creating. As I looked at “The Last Judgment” and found Christ surrounded by groups of saints on a wall of chaos, I somehow felt a sense of calmness. The painting on the wall felt honest. It felt authentic. It felt real. While many people in this world may not believe what I do or have felt the way I did when seeing the Sistine Chapel, no one can take away how “The Last Judgment” made me feel. Perhaps that’s why centuries apart art continues to capture our interest. Once it moves you, the feeling is unshakeable. apoudrie@umail.iu.edu @adelepoudrier

Diverse films dominate festival Kate Halliwell khalliwe@indiana.edu @Kate__Halliwell
The past few months have seen the most diverse Hollywood awards season in years, and the industry’s long-overdue attention to sexual and racial inclusivity has carried over into the first of this year’s major film festivals. The 2017 Sundance Film Festival saw a variety of premieres, ranging from documentaries to independent dramas. Of the first-time screenings at the festival, two films stood out above the rest. The first big hit of Sundance came Jan. 21 as Dee Rees’ “Mudbound” premiered to a packed house at the Eccles Theatre. The drama, which is based on a 2008 novel by Hillary Jordan, follows two families — one black, one white — in World War II-era Mississippi. Starring Jason Mitchell, Garrett Hedlund, Mary J. Blige and Carey Mulligan, “Mudbound” examines the racial tensions that emerge between two friends when they return from the war. Rees, whose last film, “Pariah,” debuted at Sundance in 2011, had a panel after her triumphant Saturday night screening. According to Entertainment Weekly, she told
the packed theater, “This film is about a search for citizenship. It’s about the impossibility of going home.” Although the 2017 Academy Awards are still weeks away, “Mudbound” immediately sparked talk of next year’s Oscars among critics. While it may be too early to count it as a lock- especially considering what happened with similarly lauded “The Birth of a Nation” last year- “Mudbound” seems bound for major awards conversation. While critics applauded “Mudbound” on Saturday, they positively swooned over “Call Me By Your Name” the next night. Luca Guadagnino proved himself the king of sensual summer romances with last year’s “The Big Splash,” and according to early reviews of his latest work, Guadagnino has outdone himself this year with his adaptation of Andre Aciman’s 2007 novel. In “Call Me By Your Name,” erudite teenager Elio falls in love with an older grad student who visits his family’s summer home in order to study with Elio’s father. Amid the sweltering heat of an Italian summer, Elio, played by “Miss Stevens” breakout Timothée Chalamet, and Oliver, played by

squirm and wince. In “Berlin Syndrome,” an Australian woman visits Berlin and meets a sweet guy who brings her home with him. When he’s gone at work the next day, she realizes that he’s locked her in his home indefinitely. The man doesn’t think he’s doing anything wrong at all by imprisoning the heroine, and the story becomes sort of a psychological character study as much as a hostage thriller. To find out more, you’ll either have
you’re not alone. Many critics remarked just how lucky this year’s festival-goers were to see the film at all. Based on its subject matter and production value, “Call Me By Your Name” would perhaps have
been more suited to Venice Film Festival or even Cannes. We may be getting ahead of ourselves, but it’s heartening that two films such as these would top one of the world’s biggest festivals. Next
year’s Oscar race has to start somewhere, and the Sundance domination of “Mudbound” and “Call Me By Your Name” points to an encouraging, diverse start to the 2017 lineup.
to watch the film or read the book by Melanie Joosten, but, seriously, watch the film. It was intense, thrilling and marvelously acted by Teresa Palmer and Max Riemelt. If you’re into a celebration of the mundane, then “Golden Exits” may be for you. The premise, that a husband’s attractive assistant causes a domestic upheaval, is uninspired. Not every film is supposed to work for every audience, but watching this felt like an exercise in pointlessness. No film this year has
blown me away like “Chasing Coral.” At the end of the documentary, the audience reaction was extraordinary; I don’t think more than a couple people left before the question-and-answer session with the crew. This is a film about climate change and how the coral reefs around the would have been killed by global warming due to the emission of fossil fuels. It was a heartbreaking topic, but the crowd responded with nothing but support. The film will be on Netflix soon, but make sure you do more than just click
play in order to stop further damage from happening. “Band Aid” is about a couple who fight all the time over ridiculous things. They decide that in order for them to get along, they should turn their fights into songs, which forces them to work together even while they insult one another. Zoe Lister-Jones, who directed, produced and acted in the film, hired an all-female production crew to balance out the underrepresentation of women in Hollywood, and they all did an amazing job making this movie.
