Maccabee Griffin, 35, is starting his freshman year at Indiana University after serving in the United States Army for almost 10 years. Maccabee was medically discharged earlier this year after being diagnosed with a conversion disorder, a form of post traumatic stress that causes him to convert extreme stress into physical tremors. Along with the stress of combat memories and college classes, Maccabee also has the responsibilities of being a father to balance.

T
he tremors come quietly, uninvited. They come when he’s stressed. They come when he’s still. They overwhelm him on the bus, at parties, at the grocery store. They crawl through him while he drives and jangle his dog tags. Sometimes they hit Maccabee Griffin during his classes at IU, and wrench his right arm so violently he struggles to take notes. Other students shoot nervous glances at the shaking man. He ignores them and uses his left hand to grip his right wrist until the writing stops wobbling. While the professor lectures on, Maccabee closes his eyes and cradles his right arm in his left as he waits for the assault to stop. Maccabee served two tours in Iraq with the Army nearly a decade ago. But the war is still inside him. The spasms rattle his muscles and send shivers through his body. They knock him back and forth. They ripple across his face. Once, at his son’s Boy Scouts award ceremony, the tremors made his eyelids flicker so fast he couldn’t see. His wife, Angela, had to lead him like a blind man to the car outside. If he were still in the desert, driving in another convoy under attack, he’d revert into his military training. He’d shoot. He’d know how to fight back. But this enemy hides inside him. *
*

Even without the tremors,
Maccabee’s family motivated him to join the military. When he and his wife first met, they were both managers in the fast food industry. Following 9/11 and the knowledge they were going to be having a baby, they decided that Maccabee should enlist to help ensure a better future for their family.
Maccabee is unlike other IU students. He left the Army on a medical discharge last year after a decade of service. He moved his family to Indiana to be closer to relatives. He had some college credit prior to his military service, but he is finishing his first year at IU at age 35. “This is a whole different beast,” Maccabee said. “The Army was one thing. This is a whole different kind of stress.” Building on his military experience, Maccabee is studying supply chain management and said he hopes to enter the Kelley School of Business. But he isn’t sure what he wants to do after graduation. He isn’t sure what his body will let him do. The first instance of the tremors came after his second deployment ended when he was stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana. His
sergeant called Angela at home. “Maccabee’s in the emergency room,” he said. When Angela arrived, her husband was writhing on a bed. His abs were contracting so fast it looked like he was doing rapidfire sit-ups, she recalls. His sergeant told Angela at first he thought Maccabee might have been faking to get out of a workout. But no one could do sit-ups that long. That’s not faking, Angela remembers thinking. Something else is going on. Ultimately, the Army decided he was too battered, both physically and emotionally, and returned him to civilian life. Maccabee has battled memory problems and mood swings ever since. The tremors plague him most. The Veterans Affairs doctors call it a conversion disorder, a condition that takes the anxieties
and fears in his mind and converts them to tremors throughout his body. From 2001 to 2011, almost one million veterans were diagnosed with PTSD and other mental disorders, according to a Congressional Research Service study. Considerable stigma surrounds mental health issues in the military, and many don’t report their symptoms at all. Conversion disorders are more rare. “There isn’t much data in veterans,” Dr. Jon Stone wrote in an email. “But they certainly occur.” Stone is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and specializes in conversion disorders and other functional neurological and psychiatric disorders. He said he sees patients with both PTSD and conversion disorders. Maccabee’s first psychologist at Fort Polk told him he just needed to find a way to relax. She encouraged him to talk about his experiences and find the underlying reason for the anxiety. “But here I am, a year plus of talking, and we still haven’t figured it out,” Maccabee said. When the tremors first hit him, he’d try to fight them and control what was happening. It never worked. Now, when his body shakes, he breathes deeply. He tries to relax. If he feels another attack coming on when he’s in a crowd, he looks for a quiet space. Angela tries to reassure curious onlookers. “It’ll go away in a minute,” she tells them.

The Light Totem at the IU Art Museum has long been a highly visible part of students’ daily commutes. The museum’s Green Team recently added a more sustainable element to the fixture. Now, solar panels installed atop the IUAM building will collect light, which help offset the energy used by the massive light installation. Abe Morris, manager of public relations and marketing for IUAM, said though the panels will not directly power the Totem, they are expected to collect equivalent energy to compensate for energy used by the piece. “The museum has had a Green Team for a number of years — we’d been looking for a way to make the museum more sustainable,” Morris said. “We’ve done past projects like putting recycling bins out in the atrium.” Created by Professor Emeritus and professional lighting designer Robert Shakespeare in 2006, the Totem uses about 4700kWH of energy each year. Placing solar panels on the roof of IUAM will hopefully help compensate that energy usage, Morris said. Morris said in preparation for this project, Jeanne Leimkuhler, former president of the Green Team, applied for a grant with the Student Sustainability Council, a group that provides funding for green initiatives. The Council was able to grant $5,000 toward funding the project, but Morris said the Green Team quickly realized that would not be

IU Coach Tom Crean is the 2016 Big Ten Coach of the Year, the conference announced Monday night during its end-of-season awards show on the Big Ten Network. Crean led his team to a 25-6 (153) season and the Hoosiers’ second regular season Big Ten Championship in four years. When he found out about the honor, Crean said he stayed quiet for 10 minutes before telling his wife. Crean was also named Big Ten Coach of the Year by the Associated Press earlier Monday. “I was really flattered,” he said. “When you get the respect of your peers, and of the media that cover this league on a daily basis, it means a lot.” IU senior guard Yogi Ferrell was one of three unanimous selections on the All-Big Ten First Team. Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine and Iowa’s Jarrod Uthoff joined him. Purdue’s A.J. Hammons and Wisconsin’s Nigel Hayes rounded out the five-man team. Ferrell was also named to the All-Big Ten Defensive Team and was selected for the Associated Press All-Big Ten team earlier in the day. He finished the regular season averaging 17.1 points and 5.5 assists per game. “He went from a confident individual to a confident leader,” Crean said of his point guard. The Big Ten Player of the Year award, which some thought could go to Ferrell, was given to Valentine. The Spartan guard averaged 19.6 points and 7.5 rebounds in his senior season. During his interview on the awards show, Valentine echoed something Ferrell has said throughout his senior season. “I just want to be remembered as a winner,” Valentine said. “That’s what separates you at this school.” The Spartans, who beat the Hoosiers 88-69 back on Feb. 14, are a likely final-four pick in the NCAA

Greeks play hockey for cancer By Austin Faulds afaulds@iu.edu | @a_faulds9615
During the past two weekends, 10 fraternities took to the ice to raise money for cancer research in the fifth anniversary of Drop the Puck on Cancer. Drop the Puck on Cancer is a hockey event founded in 2011 by Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi and Carl Lamb, an attorney in Bloomington and the CEO and president of Collegiate Charities. When it began, Drop the Puck was just one game between Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi, Lamb said. This year, it consists of five games between 10 fraternities, played over the course of two weekends. All proceeds go to the American Brain Tumor Association, the primary philanthropy of Drop the Puck, Lamb said. In the past five years, he said a total of about $150,000 has been donated to the ABTA. Attending Drop the Puck is worth it just for support of the ABTA alone, said senior Sydney Sauce, who has been attending the event since its first year. “Who doesn’t want to watch a hockey game for cancer?” Sauce said. “Two frats beating the shit out of each other? Who doesn’t want to see that?” Collegiate Charities puts on cancer-related events at nine other colleges across the country, Lamb said. “The bottom line is we’re doing a lot of good for a lot of people who need our help,” Lamb said. Because the philanthropy for this event is

cancer-based, IU freshman Cameron Hillocks said he believes Drop the Puck will always be relevant. “I think this is going to keep growing,” Hillocks said. “I don’t think it’s going to die out.” This year, Lamb said he hopes Drop the Puck will raise another $100,000. For the final game alone, he said it raised $15,000 in 26 minutes through ticket sales. The games are played by hockey players who are also students at IU, Lamb said. “These are guys who have grown up on the ice all around the country, coming to Indiana University to study,” Lamb said. In the first game Feb. 26,
Phi Kappa Psi alumni beat Kappa Sigma, 5-4. Due to their recent suspension, Phi Psi players could only be recognized as alumni, instead of students, Lamb said. Phi Psi has worked with Drop the Puck since late August for the event and has raised money for it. “We thought just because they were kicked off campus didn’t mean they were going to leave our event,” Lamb said. On Feb. 27, Lambda Chi Alpha beat Delta Upsilon, 5-1. On March 1, Pi Kappa Phi beat Alpha Epsilon Pi, 10-3. Phi Delta Theta beat Theta Chi 6-2 Friday.

Group connects LGBT grad students By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu | @ttelford1883
When Grad Queers founder Leah Thill came to IU, she noticed a serious vacancy in chances for queer grad students to connect. This led Thill to seek out Doug Bauder of GLBT Support Services to create Grad Queers. GQ is a new informal social group at IU, to bring together queer graduDoug ate students Bauder who might otherwise have a difficult time finding one another on campus. “When I came here as a graduate student there was no community for queer graduate students,” Thill said. “So I spoke with Doug, and we got together with some of our peers, and we decided to make our own community.” Social opportunities are especially important for graduate students because the nature of graduate work can be very isolating, said
Jacob Boss, a GQ member and Ph.D. student in religious studies. “We’re all so wrapped up in our teaching and other responsibilities that it can be hard to meet people, especially those who identify under the queer umbrella,” Boss said. GQ serves a similar role as a group that previously existed at IU called Grad Pride, which also aimed to connect grad students in the LGBT community. Although it used to be well-attended, the group fizzled out when its leaders graduated. Thill said she used Grad Pride as an inspiration when laying the groundwork for GQ. Currently, the organization has about 70 active members, Thill said. Because the group is informal, events are not mandatory nor rigidly structured. Anyone in the group is free to suggest and put on an event. Previous activities have included board game parties, nights out at
Bloomington bars, a book club and trivia nights. Boss said the variety of activities and freedom to suggest new things makes GQ members comfortable. “We’re trying make it accessible to people who want to do a wide range of things,” Boss said. “Whether you enjoy going out and having a nightlife or you’d rather do something quiet at home, we have things that appeal to everybody.” Members of GQ come from a variety of backgrounds, both academically and socially, which makes the socializing that happens within the group very enriching, Thill said. “We have non-traditonal students, parents and people with a lot of different lifestyles,” Thill said. “We have more than a dozen departments within the University represented.” One of the organization’s next big events is a game night in early April, complete with board games and Dance, Dance Revolution. Q is an easy way for LGBT grad students to make a big place smaller and to

connect with people like them, Boss said. “Unquestionably one of the best things for me is being able to meet so many queer grad students from such a diverse array of departments,” Boss said. “I get to meet people I’d never meet otherwise. We have that bond of identifying as queer in some way, and then we get to be friends too and build off that common ground.” Those interested in joining Grad Queers can send an email to gqgradqueers@ gmail.com and request to be added to the group’s mailing list.
The Higher Learning Commission is changing the format of IU dual credit courses in high schools, creating a more direct link between high school teachers and IU faculty. The changes to these courses will be implemented by fall 2016, Director of Pre-College Programs Mike Beam said. Executive Vice President for University Academic Affairs John Applegate said there are many variations to the model of a dual credit course depending on what campus the students are attending. “The whole idea of dual credit courses is that they are college-level courses, offered by high school teachers,” Applegate said. “It’s very important that the equivalency between the dual credit course and college course be real, and not just imagined.” Beam said he has plans for how dual credit classes will run. He said the University has transitioned into a new way of delivering speech courses on campus, which will correlate with how he wants dual credit courses to run. The new course, called P155, will be structured differently than past speech classes at the University, Beam said. This course is structured through lectures delivered by a professor in real time. Students can watch them on their own time outside of the classroom while also attending a discussion section during the week. Beam said this course had Larry Singell, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and his staff talking with Beam about how they could apply the same course ideas and delivery from P155 to other disciplines as well. The changes in IU courses mean those same ideas will be offered for high school students taking dual credit, Beam said. This idea started when the Higher Learning Commission requirements were being re-vamped. The HLC ruled if these dual credit courses will count as college credit, the high school teachers must have the same minimum qualifications as the University, Applegate said. The University is developing and expanding online certificate programs for high school teachers so they are able to earn master’s degrees and graduate credentials, Beam said. When the HLC had decided to revamp requirements for dual credit, this had disproportionally discredited the dual credit faculty, Beam said. With the new dual credit options in place, he said teachers will have the chance to broaden their knowledge to better teach their students. The dual credit courses will be more of a partnership between IU faculty and high school teachers. Beam said he hopes students will gain knowledge on many different levels. “Students are getting information from two people who know a lot about it,”

the benefit of being able to ask real-time questions and have an on-campus presence.” Beam said he hopes this will remove the gap between the IU faculty creating the content for dual credit and the teachers who apply it in the classroom. “In this way we really remove that filter, so students are hearing from an oncampus faculty,” Beam said. “Students are really going to get an understanding of how on-campus faculty want to present material and what sort of elements of the same course material they emphasized and de-emphasize.” With high school teachers having closer contact with students, Applegate said those relationships are important to prospective students’ learning. ”The high school teachers do have a lot of talent to be able to teach these subjects to high school students,” Applegate said. “We don’t want to lose that. That’s really valuable.” Applegate said he also has hopes that this new partnership will be as beneficial to students as it will be to the teachers. When Beam met with a group of administrators, teachers and guidance counselors in the Kokomo, Indiana, area, he said the reactions to the new dual credit courses were positive. “They really recognized right away the value of having faculty giving their students lots of information in a way because it just sets up the class in such a unique way,” Beam said. With high school students wanting to get ahead with their college classes by taking dual credit, Beam said he thinks the new implementation will relieve the stress of the unknown when preparing to go to a university. “I believe it will hopefully ease some students’ concerns about going to college and make them feel a little better about what to expect,” Beam said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Psychological Services don’t have the resources to work with cases like Maccabee’s. There is no trained combat PTSD counselor on campus. Instead, Maccabee sees a psychologist off-campus at the VA Outpatient Clinic in Bloomington and goes to the VA Medical Center in Indianapolis for medical and psychiatric treatment. The time he served in Iraq slips further away. Now his life is spent in therapists’ offices and in classes with students half his age. He tries to explain the reality of combat to the doctors. He solves algebra equations and stresses over German vocabulary words. Maccabee and Angela have a busy 9-year-old son, Jaxon, the Boy Scout in the family. Jaxon plays Yu-Gi-Oh! with his father and is quick to give hugs. Last summer, Angela, 34, found out she was expecting their second son. Now she worries about how her husband will handle having a new baby around. When Jaxon was an infant, Maccabee was in Iraq. “It’ll be new for him, being around such a small one,” Angela says. “It’s hard for him to figure out how he’ll balance school, work and family life.” Maccabee worries, too. He worries about passing his classes and still having time to help Angela with the baby. He worries about making the mortgage payment on their new house. He worries about the fact that sometimes he can’t remember what he was doing an hour ago. He is trying to make a new life, a whole life. But parts are missing. His memory, the tremors, the flashes of anger that have him snapping at Jaxon for no reason. He would pick up the pieces and put them back together if only his bones would stop shaking. *
*
*
Maccabee believes the roots of his PTSD began in 2006, seven months into his first tour in Iraq. He was driving a Humvee through the desert to Mosul to pick up supplies. He steered the two-and-a-half-ton vehicle around potholes in the road, many of them the size of couches and cars. The potholes were remnants of war, Maccabee knew. IEDs had carved them into graves. He drove past the mangled cabins of trucks on the side of the road, their interiors spilling into the sand. Later, he spotted a minivan, blackened and twisted. He hoped a family hadn’t been inside when the bomb went off. Iraqi children stood at the edge of the road watching the convoy chug past. They held empty gas canisters and waited for a fuel truck to come. Others held AK-47 assault rifles in their small arms.
Maccabee thought about how they should be in school, how children that young should be learning. He thought about Angela and Jaxon, who was then a newborn. His Humvee wasn’t full — just him, a supply sergeant and another soldier. No one spoke, but the Humvee engine roared like an industrial fan. Maccabee watched the tactical vehicle in front of him and kept a safe distance to protect the Rhino IED detector jutting out of his fender. A gunman scanned the landscape through the roof of the Humvee and swiveled a 50-caliber machine gun. Then the Earth shook, and Maccabee heard a boom like a cannon firing. He felt the force through five inches of gear. Gravel pelted the Humvee. The heat of the explosion burned into his nostrils. Voices flooded the radio, and Maccabee looked at his radio operator. “Keep going,” the operator said. “No one got hurt. Go, go, go.” The convoy rolled safely back to the base. Hours later, Maccabee’s ears were still ringing. *
*
*
One day in his algebra class, the tremors return. Maccabee tries to pay attention while the war in his body rages. They work from his right arm to his torso and down his right leg. Like cold chills, they race through him. Every spasm in his neck is stiff and machinelike, and attracts the attention of students around the room. The professor looks at him and turns back to the projector, pointing to a series of Xs and ones. She asks a question. “X minus one squared,” Maccabee answers, his voice smooth and calm. The professor tells the class to open their books to the next section, 6.5. “This is our section on complex functions,” she said. “That means any function that is complicated.” *
*
*
Maccabee isn’t sure what caused his tremors, but when he thinks back to Iraq, one particular night during his second deployment comes to mind. Torrents pelted the convoy as it slinked to Mosul. They were going too fast, trying to get out of a bad area, when Maccabee hit a pothole. The Humvee fishtailed across the road. Water and dirt splashed onto the windshield as Maccabee tried to regain control. He watched the concrete road barriers get closer as the vehicle spun. Finally, windshield wipers smeared away the mud, and Maccabee slammed on the brakes, inches from the wall. When they finally arrived in Mosul, he was frustrated that he’d nearly killed his comrades.

Maccabee works at the Veteran Support Services office during his free time between classes. He hopes he can help ease the stress on other veterans that finances and class scheduling can cause.
Maccabee requested not to drive back. His superior officers told him to finish the trip like he started — in the driver’s seat. Darkness blanketed the convoy as it left Mosul in the middle of the night. Maccabee’s Humvee was packed, and everyone scanned the darkness for threats. As they crossed a bridge, Maccabee was so focused on the vehicle in front of him that he almost didn’t notice the white pickup truck on the other side. He was turning to warn his sergeant when the darkness exploded. The blast lifted the tactical vehicle in front of Maccabee a few feet off the ground. Maccabee slammed on the brakes. His heart was pulsing in his ears, his face warmed by the roasting pickup. “I need a weapon!” one of the soldiers screamed. “I need a weapon!” Someone shoved a pistol at him. “Shut up.” They waited for hours for someone to come get the damaged tactical vehicle. No one had been hurt, but its engine was destroyed, and they couldn’t leave it behind. In the Humvee, Maccabee kept the engine running and his foot on the brake. Adrenaline pumped through him. He stared into the desert, but he couldn’t see beyond his headlights. Helicopters circled. Maccabee thought he heard gunfire. Were the shadows moving? The next morning, when everyone was safely back in Kuwait, Maccabee heard a knock on his door. “You need to go see doc,” a sergeant told him. *
*
*
When the tremors began, Angela was confused and
scared. She thought maybe it was some kind of epilepsy. Then she thought maybe he could control them if he could quiet his mind. At night she’d feel his shaking legs under the sheets. For a while, she always drove in case he began to seize. She thinks the tremors have gotten better since he got out of the Army last year. “Now I’ll just see his hand or his leg kind of shaking,” she said. “Or sometimes his mouth will go to the side. And usually they don’t last that long.” But in just two months, the baby will be here. How will Maccabee’s body react when he hasn’t slept in days? She remembers the hormones and frustrated tears of being a new mom. What will happen when she’s upset and the baby wails, when Maccabee is moody or stressed? Will she be the only one up at night so Maccabee can sleep before class? The baby gets heavier and lower every day. Maccabee carries around the grainy ultrasound photos in his backpack. *

His psychologist’s office is clean and bright. Maccabee folds his camouflage Army jacket over the arm of the chair. Every day is a chance to find meaning, to make sense of where he’s been and why. “Every day above ground is a good day,” he likes to say. His psychologist listens with chin in hand, like the statue of the Thinker. He and Maccabee talk about everything, pick through Maccabee’s life and analyze small details and big events. The tremors are getting worse, Maccabee says. He’s had four or five in the past two
BREAK AWAY FROM THE PACK
weeks. “It’s scary sometimes,” he tells the therapist. “Then I feel aggravation. On the backside of it, sometimes aggravation turns into more fear.” In church, Maccabee listens to the pastor delivering a sermon. In his head, he compiles a list of questions. What does God think about soldiers? About war and killing? After one service, he poses these questions to the pastor as other people file out of the church. The pastor says Maccabee should pray, meditate and read scripture. Maccabee thinks he was meant to see, smell and hear every experience in Iraq so he could tell others what the war was like. When he’s on campus, he doesn’t think students fully appreciate what he and other veterans have been through. In one class, Maccabee bristles as he listens to 18-year-olds prattling about their heroes — celebrities and athletes. “Athletes are not heroes,” he tells the class. “They get paid well, and that makes them heroes? There are tons of people who get paid crap for putting their life on the line.” The place he feels most at home is with his wife and son. Even with the constant battle in his body and all the changes ahead, when Maccabee comes home he is grounded. In the evenings, Miles Davis flows through the Griffin living room. A folded flag, his medals and photos from basic training hang in the corner. Jaxon plays a computer game. Maccabee whispers to Angela’s swollen belly. *

Maccabee holds Angela’s hand. She is sweating and
clenching. There was no time for an epidural. Her water broke in their bedroom not even an hour ago. They had run out of the house and left a train of towels on the floor. Maccabee pops his head around her legs to check the baby’s progress, then returns to her white-knuckled grip. “What’s the doctor that deals with broken hands?” Maccabee asks. “Cause you’re going to have to call him for my hands.” Angela stares daggers at Maccabee. A few more pushes and Alexander, covered in whites and reds and browns, slides into the world. But he is silent. Nurses whisk the baby away, and Maccabee follows, craning over their shoulders at his son, bluelipped and quiet. They check to see if his collarbone is broken, relocate the shoulder that popped out and suction his mouth. Finally, his voice bursts into the room. The next afternoon, light filters into the quiet hospital room. Alexander, 9 pounds, 12 ounces, eats, sleeps, balls his fists and wriggles in a blue and green onesie. Angela thinks the tremors are getting better, and some days Maccabee agrees. His body may never be cured. But for a few hours at the hospital, everything is okay. As if by memory, Maccabee’s arms sink into a familiar rhythm. His whole body moves. But these aren’t the movements of a damaged man. He rocks the baby to a still peace.

Commission votes on Justice nominees The Judicial Nominating Commission publicly voted to send three nominees for the new Indiana Supreme Court justice to Gov. Mike Pence on Friday. The commission conducted in-person public interviews with 29 applicants and then
narrowed the search down to 15 candidates in February, according to a press release from the Office of the Governor. Once the JNC sends their report to Pence, he has 60 days to select one nominee and appoint them to the Court.
Locals show support for Vermin Supreme Annie Garau agarau@umail.iu.edu | @agarau6
People might think they’ve seen just about everything in this presidential race. But what about a candidate who wears a rain boot as a hat, carries a giant toothbrush and goes by the name Vermin Love Supreme? In his fourth bid for the United States presidency, the anti-war, anti-establishment activist received 259 votes and placed fourth, behind Martin O’Malley, in the New Hampshire primary in 2015. He was not invited to participate in a Democratic debate due to an incident in 2012 when Supreme glitterbombed fellow candidate Randall Terry, who has repeatedly opposed gay marriage, in an effort to “turn him gay.” Even so, Supreme is continuing with his campaign and has even picked up supporters in Bloomington. Joe Savarino, a member of local band Avadhootz, said he first heard about Supreme at a “rainbow gathering.” He was immediately impressed by the candidate’s policies, which seek to emphasize the emptiness of many modern politicians’ promises. “What really turned me on to him was his free pony campaign for every American citizen,” Savarino said. “That’s why I suggest people start getting room ready in their backyards or in their closet, because the Free Pony Act will help a lot of job creation for the country.” The ponies would theoretically be used to help with transportation, bring smiles to little girls and fix America’s “princess complex,” which Savarino argues has gotten out of control. In addition, Supreme would work to pass a mandatory toothbrush law. “I’m sure he would also put some programs in act to make sure everyone has access to a good quality toothbrush and nice, fluo-

ride-free toothpaste,” fellow bandmate and Supreme supporter Kendra Strebig added. Though Supreme is trailing in the polls, supporters say they feel he still serves a very important function in these elections. “I think he’s brought a lot of light to the stupidity that we put up with a lot of the presidents that we’ve elected,” Savarino said. “He’s all about reworking the system in a way that we all know needs to happen,” Strebig said. “He sees nor-
mal, mainstream politics as a pretty big joke, which they are, in my opinion.” When considering what needs to change in the American government, the two mentioned lowering the age requirement for Congress and the presidency, lowering military funding and changing the system so that attachments could no longer be added onto bills. Strebig, who is a selfdescribed pacifist, said she doesn’t understand why the government spends so much money on war when there
are problems to fix at home. “The education system needs reworked and the reason that’s not happening, that we hear, is there’s not enough money, not enough funding,” she said. “But then we see missiles being launched that are hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars.” The friends said they feel that Bernie Sanders shares many of Supreme’s ideals, as evidenced by his stance on education, his lack of ties to corporate America and his work for America’s poor and

vulnerable. “I think Bernie would make a great vice president to Vermin Love Supreme,” Savarino said. “But that’s just my opinion.” In an effort to make that happen, Savarino and Strebig will be campaigning for Supreme across the
country on their way to another rainbow gathering this summer. They’ve already had some success. “There were some horses I talked to the other day, and they were pretty down for it,” Savarino said. “They like to see a lot of ponies around the U.S.”
Police say man 18-year-old killed after Twitter feud dies after possible heroin overdose By Carmen Heredia-Rodriguez caheredi@umail.iu.edu | @caheredia21
From IDS reports
A 25-year-old man died Sunday of a suspected heroin overdose while outside a Bloomington grocery store. An investigation into the man’s death is still ongoing and an autopsy was scheduled for Monday morning in Terre Haute, Indiana, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Joe Crider said. The deceased man’s friend, also a 25-year-old man, told police he had stopped at a grocery store Sunday evening on Bloomington’s east side while his friend stayed outside.
He said he believes his friend may have used heroin while waiting outside the grocery store, Crider said. When the man returned from the grocery store, he found his friend unresponsive and drove him to Monroe Hospital, where the man died. Officers arrived to the hospital shortly after 7:05 p.m. and recovered a needle from the deceased man’s friend. It is still unclear if the man who died was a Bloomington native, Crider said.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Gunshots. David Sullivan ordered his 8-year-old son David Jr. to stay on the bed and get away from the window. The 39-year-old operating engineer had heard the sound before, during his time growing up on the west side of Indianapolis in Haughville. Now the danger seemed to boom outside his front door. After several minutes of silence, David Jr. crawled out of the bed to use the restroom across the hall, and crossed in front of the window in his bedroom that faced the street. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. Sullivan threw himself on top of his son in the hall. As both laid on the carpet, a young man lay dying of gunshot wounds a quarter mile away in a 1998 green Oldsmobile over a Twitter argument gone wrong. Eighteen year-old Jerrold Parker died at IU Health Methodist Hospital after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds during an altercation Feb. 3, according to police. The confrontation began after Parker’s friend Javhonn Frazier posted a tweet accusing a young man of not being able to rap. Nineteen year-old Devin Leggett allegedly shot and killed Parker during the altercation. Leggett is now in police custody. In the information age, social media platforms have created an environment of constant communication where the harassed can never escape and the harasser has a direct line to the victim. Social media is both everywhere and nowhere. An intangible web of binary numbers propelled by human
connection, it bears fruit to real-life consequences. Consequences as real as the death of a young man over a rap feud on Twitter. * * *
“If anyone got a problem with us we can solve that right now. Hit my line,” the tweet said. According to witness testimonies in the police report, a Twitter account named @ Devin_Sav allegedly belonging to Leggett retweeted the statement after Javhonn Frazier, Parker’s friend, accused a man identified by the police as Kalen of not being able to rap. Frazier tweeted Leggett for his phone number. Leggett responded. “I just needed to get the number,” Frazier texted to Leggett. “I’m gonna hit you up when I get off.” “Bet,” Leggett said. The young men made arrangements to fight later that day, a witness said in the police report. As Frazier, Parker and his friends hung out in Frazier’s apartment, one of them received a phone call from Leggett. “We outside,” the voice said. In the middle of Winterberry Drive, a street lined with red apartment doors decorated with owl wreaths and fading poinsettias, the men fought. Two eyewitnesses in the police report said they saw Leggett shoot Parker. Frazier picked Parker up and laid his bloodied body on the backseat of his friend’s green 1998 Oldsmobile. He then pounded on the window of an occupied vehicle nearby to use their cellphone to call for help. Kalen sat in the passenger seat. The car window never

rolled down. * * * In 2013, Indiana passed Act 1423, which defined the term bullying and required schools to develop and implement comprehensive antibullying programs. Under the law, schools must provide anti-bullying training to students by Oct. 15 every year. Staff members with direct, ongoing contact with students are also required to receive training. The law also extends a school’s scope of surveillance by allowing staff to take action in cases of bullying that take place outside of the school if the individuals involved are students and if the situation poses a substantial threat to school safety. Schools must also have a protocol to report, investigate and follow-up with incidents, as well submit a report detailing the recorded cases of bullying that occurred during the school year. According to its website, Pike High School has an antibullying program in place that includes video training for staff and anti-bullying clubs for students. Pike High School did not respond to requests for comment regarding Parker’s death. Several loopholes in the law allow schools to function
without implementing antibullying programs. Act 1423 only specifically states public schools must provide anti-bullying training for its students and staff, and leaves the door open for charter and private schools to function without an antibullying policy. Parents cannot seek legal action against their child’s school if it does not comply with the law. Act 1423 does not state any enforcement measures to hold schools accountable. But according to the information in the police report, the tweets and texts that served as a catalyst for Parker’s death didn’t fall through the cracks. The exchange simply didn’t meet the criteria. The closest Sullivan’s son David Jr. has ever gotten to social media is talking to his friends through a headset while playing Xbox, Sullivan said. He refuses to let his son activate one. Social media is a reflection of the end of times, a cancer on society with no cure, Sullivan said. Sullivan and his son plan to move out of their apartment at the end of the lease. Sullivan doesn’t feel safe in his home anymore. “You’re gonna learn from that pain,” Sullivan said. “Or it’s gonna kill you.”

The Koch brothers’ not-so-grand idea WE SAY: The Koch brothers’ mining of the Grand Canyon is a disaster Save those Grand Canyon postcards. The monument may be changing if an initiative backed by the Koch brothers passes that will allow businesses to mine the area for uranium. The Koch brothers are conservative mega donors known to support global trade and fight against climate change initiatives. Their current proposition would allow one of their corporations, Prosper Inc, to begin mining for uranium near the canyon. We believe the poor maintenance of mines out West combined with the violation of National Parks make
this venture impossible. Uranium’s main uses are the creation of nuclear power and nuclear weapons. If the canyon was mined, the uranium would likely go to one of these two purposes. Although the United States would benefit from cleaner energy, it’s impossible to surmise what portion of the uranium would go toward energy. In addition, the United States is currently modernizing the majority of our nuclear arsenal, according to an Arms Control transcript. This modernization calls for updating the launch systems as well as the warheads
themselves. Regardless of where the uranium would be used, mining the Grand Canyon is a direct violation of why the National Parks were founded. The National Park Service mission is to preserve “the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education and inspiration of this and future generations.” Mining the Grand Canyon would restrict many people from enjoying and being able to visit the canyon. Often when an area is being mined for uranium, the
surrounding land is restricted to make sure the surface, as well as other creatures and people, isn’t poisoned. No future generation will enjoy or be inspired from a fence declaring restricted access. The majority of the American West is experiencing an unprecedented drought, reported National Geographic. Mining near the Grand Canyon would likely require diversion of the Colorado River to another path. This re-route would complicate water distribution for many American cities which rely on the river, such as Phoenix and Las Vegas.
Beyond diverting the river, the whole ecosystem could become toxic if the mining was not properly handled and cleaned. Earlier this year, workers were attempting to staunch leakage from a gold mine but accidentally opened another passage allowing a million gallons of sludge to turn the Animas River a nauseating mustard yellow, reported Business insider. It isn’t the first spill. The West is littered with mines from the ‘70s, a time with little regulation and a lot of interest in mining. A report from Earthworks found there are 557,650 abandoned mines across 32
states. Cleaning up all of the waste from these mines is estimated to cost as much as $72 billion, CBS News reports. Attempting to mine the Grand Canyon is another environmental disaster waiting to happen. There are a number of mining accidents every year despite numerous safety precautions. Governmental agencies don’t seem to have the funds or manpower to clean up the current mines. If any disaster occurred we would lose the Grand Canyon and any semblance of the natural wonder it is.

Power is shifting in colleges
Romney shouldn’t rig the Republican nomination
Throughout human history, power has been held by only a few people. However, there was always a fight toward an equal distribution of power. First, it was the growth of the traders and artisans, which created a middle class and the beginnings of a capitalist economic system. Next, the democratic rebellions spread through the Americas and Europe. Speeding up the process in the last twenty years was the proliferation of the Internet. This distribution of power effected not only international relations but the interactions between college students and their institutions. Large powers, like the United States, now consider smaller players. During the Cold War, both of these superpowers often played out their tensions on an international backdrop. This led to American and Soviet interference in Cuba and Afghanistan. Today, this is clearer. In “The End of Power,” a book about changing power structures, distinguished fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Moisés Naím, mentioned the group of Al-Qaeda, which developed in Afghanistan. In the Syrian crisis, President Obama and European leaders didn’t know which of the rebel groups were close to the West and which were allied with Al-Qaeda. These smaller players are also becoming evident in the international playing stage overall. Naím mentioned the BRICS countries — Bra-

zil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — are becoming major players, and this was never more evident than at the Paris climate conference. The U.S and Europe were major players in leading the charge against carbon emissions. India, China and developing countries in Asia and Africa had to comply. This caused ambassadors to find a compromise for more countries, not just the major players, giving the smaller nations more power. The power of smaller players is never more apparent than in universities. In “The Coddling of the American Mind,” Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt highlight the power that students have over their school’s curriculum and policies. Minority groups are using their influence to change course curriculum in English literature and law classes. It is unclear how this will affect the quality of education, but at the very least it shows the power they can have on their institutions. Power is redistributed from the few to the many. Whether it is in national policy, environmental affairs or in universities, this trend is prevalent and stark. Power or control is being moved in this world. However, it has never been as prevalent as today. npatwari@indiana.edu
Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney caused a stir last week when he announced Thursday that he and his advisers are exploring ways to block Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in June, as reported by CNN. Romney’s plan to thwart a Trump nomination is to prevent Trump from getting the majority of the delegates needed for him to automatically secure the party’s nomination. If something like this were to ever happen, the Republican Party would host what’s called a brokered convention. At this point, the delegates are no longer bound by the results of their state. The 2,472 delegates will cast individual ballots for the nominee until a candidate has secured the necessary 1,237 votes. I don’t contest the method of this system. After all, the last time that this happened for the Democrats was in 1952 and for the Republicans in 1948.
It’s not as though this is a frequent event that party leaders use as a crutch in order to undo the results of a fair and just democracy. That is, until Mitt Romney came along. I don’t like Trump any more than the next person. In fact, I’m a dedicated Bernie supporter. However, what I support more than Sen. Bernie Sanders is the integrity of our nation’s democracy that makes it possible. I feel that our nation’s democracy has been compromised by lobbyists, a lack of campaign finance reform and the overwhelming presence of big money in the political process. Despite this, I don’t believe we need to continue its deterioration by standing by as Romney tries to fix the nomination process. If enough members of the Republican Party want Trump to be their president, then the outcome of their votes should be unchallenged by party leaders who think they know better than the voters.
It’s dishonest and antidemocratic for the leaders of a political party to make any attempt to sway the outcome of an election in favor of their personal preference. It’s similar to the use of superdelegates who are free to vote for whomever they choose regardless of election outcomes, by the Democratic National Committee in their nomination process. In an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN, Debbie Schultz, Chair of the DNC, said, “Unpledged delegates exist, really, to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists.” Basically, the DNC Chair admitted that superdelegates in elections are used to make sure candidates like Sanders don’t win. Some Bernie supporters believe elaborate conspiracies more easily than others do. Some have suggested that the DNC is intentionally rigging the election in favor of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
THERIN SHOWALTER is a sophomore in media studies.
It’s clear that the use of superdelegates is designed to do just that. But I’m not convinced the other theories put forth are entirely accurate. I hope, though, that Bernie supporters are just as outraged by Romney’s plan to sabotage the Republican nomination as they are about the DNC sabotaging the possibility of a Sanders nomination. Both tactics are deplorable. They erode the bedrock of our democracy. They make the international mission of the United States to establish free and fair elections in every country a joke. Thus, the members of one political party should not dare to support the election rigging of the other. And both sides should just cut it out. thshowal@indiana.edu @TherinShowalter

They said it is difficult to avoid offending people through this project, and logistical issues such as organizing interviews slowed down the process. “These are my people, and the only way that I can do my duty for these women, and for our whole community as Muslims, is to reach out to people and help them get to know us,” Maïdi said. “If people know us then they’re not going to be afraid of us, and if we know people then we aren’t going to be afraid of them. Even if it’s a drop in the bucket, I’m helping remove some of that fear.” Both Seader and Maïdi said they are thankful for one another. Maïdi said she couldn’t have done this project without Aubrey Seader, and they both said they have become close friends through this experience. The two producers do not have an end time in sight, but they said they hope the project continues strong. They said they have had a lot of help from the community in many different ways from small assistance to participating in their interviews. Seader said there has been a clash of feminist movements over the decision to wear a hijab. She said they wear hijabs as their own way of expressing their feminist identity and the idea they cover themselves may stop many liberals from digging deeper into their culture due to their assumption that it’s a form of oppression. Maïdi said she was slightly nervous at the prospect of hostility as they broaden the reach of the project.
“These are my people, and the only way that I can do my duty for these women, and for our whole community as Muslims, is to reach out to people and help them get to know us. If people know us then they’re not going to be afraid of us, and if we know people then we aren’t going to be afraid of them. Even if it’s a drop in the bucket, I’m helping remove some of that fear.” Anna Maïdi, Muslims of Bloomington co-creator
“I think it’s going to be really hard for both of us,” she said. “I am Muslim, so if we get hostility, that’s against me too. It’s not just against my project, it’s against everything I believe.” Seader also said she was worried about hostility aimed at members of the Islamic faith. “Before I did this project, I didn’t know many Muslims personally,” she said. “Now that I’m doing this project, and I’ve had a chance to know members of the community, I worry about them.” There will be an open house at 7:30 p.m. April 10 in the Islamic Center, Maïdi said. Seader encourages people to investigate their websites. They are currently looking for a social media manager for the project. “We’re just normal,” Maïdi said. “I feel like people think we’re mysterious and questionable, and I’m just a regular mom, and wife, and sister that loves people and loves the world and that wants to be a part of it. When someone looks at me with a skeptical eye, I’m just so confused, because what I think is, ‘I’m just like you.’”

enough. “When we had estimates done for the installation, the project came in more expensive than we had initially anticipated,” Morris said. “Facilities operations, who are in charge of doing things like installing the solar panels and overseeing that stuff, were really generous about it and kicked in the additional funding.” The Office of the Vice President for Capital Planning and Facilities, the larger office behind facilities operations, was able to provide another $10,000 toward this project. The contribution allowed the museum to move forward and install the panels. Andrew Predmore, associate director of sustainability at IU’s Office of Sustainability, said this sort of collaborative effort is what makes this project stand out. “There is a lot to like about the project from a sustainability perspective, but I’m particularly impressed by the cross-campus collaboration that allowed this to happen,” Predmore said. Michael French, logistics director for the SSC, said the project falls in line with the general goal of the organization: to donate money toward campus sustainability projects. “Our goals are generally to make IU a more sustainable place through student involvement in whatever way we can,” French said. “This is one way to put student-donated money to good use.” Student donations com-

Tournament, beginning next week. Although IU had one of the easier Big Ten schedules to begin the season, they showed they can beat some of the best teams in the country after wins against ranked teams like Iowa, Purdue and Maryland to close
prise most of the money in the SSC funds that go toward projects like the Light Totem, French said. Other projects, such as a recently installed rain garden, tend to be more obvious results of SSC funding, whereas French said the Light Totem is a more abstract project. “The Light Totem is one of the more visible things on campus,” French said. “So, as opposed to making something new, we’re making something that already exists as sustainable as it can be.” Morris said he is excited a fixture that contributes to IU tradition will now have an element of environmental awareness. “Now it’s a great thing because the Light Totem is one of the big things that people notice on campus,” Morris said. “It’s on the student bucket list and all that, to put your feet up by the Totem. We’re really excited that it can be both a great work of art on campus but also something that points toward a more sustainable future and IU being a greater place.” Leimkuhler said this project will demonstrate to students how the museum is working to move forward into the future of cleaner energy. “Now they will know, as they are enjoying the everchanging colored wall at night, that the sculpture is being powered with clean energy from the sun,” Leimkuhler said. “As we all move toward a more sustainable energy future, it is exciting to see the IU Art Museum leading the way with this very colorful project.”

And having someone like Ferrell leading his team was the most important piece of the puzzle, he said. “Yogi, at the end of the day, is the one that became such a great leader,” Crean said. “He’s taken his experience and his knowledge and really made that part of his teammates’ fabric.

Messes of Meth
The homes Bio Recovery Specialists cleans are often full of clutter. Braden Stockberger, 21, of Frankfort, Indiana, searches for a spot to place a cardstock square to mark a place to test for meth residue.
After police find meth inside a property, homeowners are left to deal with the toxic mess. Ryan Weaver and his team are the ones called to make those houses habitable again. Words by MK Wildeman | marwilde@indiana.edu | @mkwildeman Photos by Kale Wilk | kawilk@indiana.edu | @KindheartedKale
IDAVILLE, Ind. — he men in canary yellow suits drag everything the meth users left behind out of the contaminated house. A purple camo chair, children’s toys, dirty blankets — all of it polluted with methamphetamine — are dragged through a screen door, down the patio stairs and into a dumpster’s maw. A pair of photo albums is all the men leave untouched. The meth cleaners try never to throw away what’s irreplaceable. A ginger-haired boy, maybe 12 years old, grins up from the albums’ pages. There are pictures of a happy couple with full smiles, family obituaries clipped from newspapers and pages ripped out of a book, with love notes written in the margins. When the couple in the photographs darted, they left not only a specter of ruined family, but a house in a state of ruin. To be habitable again, the house needs a state-approved cleaner like Ryan Weaver.

* * * In rural Indiana, meth is a constant scourge. Regular users don’t destroy only their bodies with the drug, but also their homes with the drug. Indiana’s 1,471 meth labs seized in 2014 were the most of any state, according to information from the Drug Enforcement Administration. For at least the past decade, which is as long as the DEA has kept such data, Indiana has been among the top four states in the United States in lab seizures. Many of those properties in Indiana lie dormant for years. Weaver, 39, and his team bring some of those places back from the abyss of condemned meth houses. The job pays well, but for Weaver, the work is a public service. “Most people I deal with are victims,” he said. “I’m offering a service that’s giving them their place back.” In spite of the destruction meth users leave in their wake after the drug is discovered, he offers something invaluable: a clean slate. * * * Weaver’s pickup truck and a white van are parked in the little green house’s gravel drive in Idaville, Indiana, an unincorporated town with a population of just 461. The team cleans mostly in small towns, where meth is most prevalent in Indiana. The team has joked about putting

a “Methbusters” sticker on the van, but Weaver doesn’t want to attract too much unwelcome attention. Though the house has damages that require thousands of dollars to repair, nothing seems out of place, aside from a neon orange notice plastered on the door. Police put up the sign when they found meth inside. “A clandestine laboratory for the manufacture of illegal drugs and/ or hazardous chemicals was seized at this location on 9/14/15,” the sign reads. “There may still be hazardous substances, contamination or waste products on this property.” Weaver and his team are careful, or they could begin to feel the lingering effects of meth lying invisible on the walls, in the floorboards, dormant within the air conditioning unit. Each of Weaver’s three jobs put him in a certain amount of danger. He spends 10 days of his month as a firefighter, extinguishing fires and rushing overdose cases to the hospital. Two more days he spends training with the local SWAT team as the medic. His remaining time is spent running Bio Recovery Specialists, his meth cleanup company. For the house in Idaville, the bulk of the work is in clearing out the contaminated insulation coating in the attic that, judging by the high levels when Weaver tested, was the former tenants’ prime spot for meth cooking. Adam Hoke, one of Weaver’s employees, scrapes loose pieces of insulation in the crevices of the attic into his hands and tosses them into a garbage bag. He struggles to breathe through his clogged respirator. A loose nail hidden in the insulation breaks through the plastic hazmat suit and scrapes his knee. He’ll have to change into a new suit. “Damn meth heads,” he says. The team fills garbage bag after
thick, industrial-sized garbage bag until most of the insulation is gone. They still need to vacuum every dust particle they can reach, spray chemicals and scrub the walls, ceiling and floor and add a layer of paint. Every room that tested hot, or with high levels of meth, will need the same treatment. For the moment, Hoke needs a break. On the patio, he unzips to the waist and pulls off a top layer of gloves. Everyone is drenched in sweat — unluckily for them, the airtight plastic suit holds in moisture. Each of the men, except Weaver, who doesn’t smoke, pull cigarettes out of their pockets and pass around a lighter. Trucks driving by kick up clouds of dust that settle over the porch. Every once in a while, the drivers slow down to peer at the team of men. “I bet you 20 bucks they wave,” Hoke said, and they do. This is the part of Indiana where it’s unthinkable not to be friendly, even to strangers in yellow suits. * * * Growing up in Frankfort, Indiana, Weaver never noticed meth in his community. He was voted “Most Naive” by his class in high school. After graduating from college, meth became more a part of his life. His sister’s boyfriend was arrested on meth charges after police found the drug inside their house. Weaver’s sister was giving birth to her second daughter at the hospital. Though Weaver said his sister was unaware meth was being used in her house, the police transferred custody of her two daughters to Weaver’s parents, where the children stayed for about six months during the police investigation. Her boyfriend had been cooking
near the furnace in the garage. Noxious meth residue spread to the rest of the house through the vents. Every room had to be stripped to its bones. “She lost almost everything,” Weaver said. It was about a year later that Weaver began cleaning meth houses as a side job. In the first house he ever cleaned, the kids’ room had the highest levels of meth. He was told the room belonged to a six- or seven-year-old boy. He thought about his son as he threw away children’s blankets and toys. “I pictured having to throw away everything my son has ever owned and ever loved,” he said. The houses with kids are always the hardest for him to clean. Weaver’s first daughter was born when he was 20 years old. He later married a different woman and had two daughters and a son. The two divorced in May of last year. Weaver was left with partial custody of his three youngest kids. He prays with them every night. If they’re staying with their mother, they say prayers over the phone. On the nights they’re not at home, he closes their bedroom doors. “I don’t like walking past that empty room,” he said. “I come home to a dog. She’s great to come home to, but it’s not what I wanted for my life.” * * * Driving down Route 24 in northern Indiana, it’s possible to leave Idaville before realizing you’ve arrived. The town is nestled in between cornfields. There’s no gas station, no stoplight, only a grain elevator and a sleepy restaurant, called the Idaville Diner. Weaver describes it as “podunk, never-heard-of-it ‘ville.” Tom Geisler, who has lived in Idaville for 67 years, said he probably knows only about a third of Idaville’s residents. The rest are unfamiliar faces. After the ‘70s passed, it seemed to him people were coming to Idaville for the low property costs, and when they came, they brought meth. “We’ve got more druggies than we’ve got decent people, seems like,” Geisler said. “There’s an overabundance of them anymore.” The Indiana State Police keeps a website tracking the location of uncleaned meth labs in the state. There are 3,427 buildings recorded since January 2007. “I don’t think it’s going away,” Weaver said with a shrug. “At least my business is paid for.” SEE METH, PAGE 10

Traditional Irish band to play IU Auditorium By Maia Rabenold mrabenol@indiana.edu | @maialyra
Paddy Moloney was given a tin whistle at the age of six, picked up the pipes at 10 and continued to play music as he grew up in Dublin. He considered music to be a hobby, and got a nine-to-five job as an accountant. In 1962, his hobby became his lifelong career when he founded the traditional Irish band the Chieftains, who play tonight at the IU Auditorium. They have now been performing together for 53 years and have won six Grammys and one Oscar along the way. “It was quite a risk, a traditional Irish music band, but it worked,” Moloney said. “We have a sound that’s unique. It’s international, you don’t have to be Irish to enjoy it.” Japanese and Chinese fans are particularly interested in the Chieftains’ sound, Moloney said. In China, fans brought their albums and crowded to have them signed. In Tokyo, a group of fans calls itself the Lady Chieftains and performs on traditional Irish instruments. Moloney said when he goes to Japan next year, he will invite the Lady Chieftains on stage to play with them. The sound of the Chieftains has even been in space. In 2011, NASA astronaut Cady Coleman recorded herself playing Moloney’s tin whistle in the International Space Station on St. Patrick’s Day. The Chieftains will also pay tribute to Nelson Mandela, who loved Irish music, Moloney said. The concert will feature a jig that Moloney composed, titled “The Troublemaker’s Jig,” after Mandela’s middle

name Rolihlahla, a Xhosa term that loosely translates to “troublemaker.” Moloney wrote the jig for an upcoming documentary on Mandela. “We have a big show,” he said. “It’s not just three or four of us sitting on the stage playing music. Quite a lot of young people are joining us and giving us old guys a boot up.” Guests include a full choir, bagpipe players and other
musicians. Moloney called harpist Triona Marshall a redheaded genius and said singer Alyth McCormack has the voice of an angel. Others include master fiddle players Jon and Nathan Pilatzke and Tara Breen and accordion player Tim Edey, who was named Best Traditional Musician by the BBC in 2012. “We’re blessed with all of this happening, and it’s a great
show, that’s all I can say,” Moloney said. “All of the music and the friendship and the people we meet have been building up during the years that we’ve been together.” Artists continue to be interested in recording with the Chieftains, Moloney said. They have collaborated with artists like Van Morrison, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Sinead O’Connor.
On their more recent albums, they brought in artists like Bon Iver, the Decemberists and the Civil Wars. Moloney said he never believed he would be able to achieve his dream of spreading this music. When he was a child in Dublin, playing traditional Irish music was not seen as a hip thing to do, but many artists around the world have accepted and popular-

How can I keep myself from wanting to fall asleep after having sex? My girlfriend and I had sex twice last week. I felt tired afterwards both times. How can I feel more active and energetic after sex rather than like I want to fall asleep? There are many hormonal changes that occur during sexual excitement and particularly at the point of orgasm.
Although both males and females release some similar hormones at the time of orgasm, for reasons that are not entirely clear, men seem to be more likely to feel particularly tired (and even to fall asleep) within minutes of having sex and ejaculating. This is a pretty common experience that many men and women have.
As I know of no researchbacked way to cause alertness after sex rather than a sense of feeling tired, you might stick to sex at night or on weekends when you’re not in a rush to get to class or work or otherwise need a lot of energy. If you’re feeling more than just plain tired, or if this is a change for you (and you used

to not feel so tired after sex), you might mention this to your healthcare provider. Although not well understood, some doctors and scientists have begun to look at what is called “post-orgasmic illness syndrome,” a name for the experience some people have of feeling extreme fatigue, anxiety, irritability and/or having headaches af-
ter sex. There is a limited amount of research on this and many other reasons people may have these same symptoms after sex, which is why it would be helpful to mention to a healthcare provider. Kinsey Confidential is a collaboration of The Kinsey Institute and the IU School

Indiana. His mother graduated from IU in 1945, and his grandfather, a stonecutter, helped lay the foundation of IU’s Franklin Hall. One of his daughters is an IU alumna, and another is a current student. While at IU, Banks acted alongside Kevin Kline, who also went on to receive major award show accolades. Banks left before graduating at IU to pursue his career. But Banks has returned to IU several times to teach classes and give lectures. In 2014, he gave a sold-out on-stage interview at the IU Cinema.
“Jonathan’s acting ability is matched by an unwavering commitment to community and to inspiring young people through his messages of hard work, kindness and personal responsibility,” IU President Michael McRobbie said in the release. Theater department chair Jonathan Michaelsen said in the release students could note Banks’ work ethic even as his fame increases. “I cannot think of a better example for our students to emulate,” he said.

Notebook: Diamont to miss spring season By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu @BrodyMillerIDS
Spring football is back, and with that comes injury news. On Sunday, IU Coach Kevin Wilson said junior quarterback Zander Diamont underwent a procedure and will miss all of spring practice. Diamont had the option to have the procedure before spring or after, but Diamont chose to get healthy earlier and be ready for summer. Wilson described it as a “minor little surgery.” Diamont is expected to be involved in the quarterback competition to replace record-holding passer Nate Sudfeld. The other big name in the competition is transfer junior Richard Lagow. Wilson said he has only been able to watch Lagow throw a few times in the winter, but he has caught up quickly from a conditioning standpoint. Wilson also mentioned freshman Austin King and sophomore Donovan Hale as people who are competing. “They are going to have, I think, some very good surrounding pieces,” Wilson said. “So to me, their ability to understand what we want and be an extension of what Coach Johns and myself are trying to have them do.” Camion Patrick beginning spring at running back Patrick, a junior who came to IU as a receiver, will be starting the spring at running back. Wilson described him in the fall as the best player on the team.
This change in position came about during Patrick’s time on the scout team last season as he had to sit out the season for academic reasons. IU was preparing for Ohio State, and Patrick mimicked the play of Braxton Miller to prepare the IU defense. “He was basically playing wildcat,” Wilson said. “And he was very, very natural running with the football.” Patrick is listed at 6-foot-2, 223 pounds, and Wilson said the junior is instinctive with the ball in his hands. Wilson also said the team isn’t devoid of running backs and the move is a credit to receivers like junior Simmie Cobbs Jr., senior Ricky Jones and several other receivers providing depth to that area. Other injured players In addition to the injury of Diamont, several other players will be out for the spring. Junior safety Chase Dutra will remain out for spring due to a Lisfranc injury that held him from IU’s appearance in the Pinstripe Bowl. Sophomore defensive back Zeke Walker is also out with the same injury. Sophomore defensive back Donovan Clark, who played in much of the 2014 season then missed the entirety of 2015 with a back injury, will not participate in spring practice. Sophomore receiver Dominique Booth had an operation on his wrist last fall and is still not ready to play. Junior receiver Isaac Griffith suffered a torn ACL last season and will remain out of spring practice.

Quarterback Zander Diamont runs out of the pocket during the game against Ohio State on Oct. 3, 2015, at Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers lost to the No. 1 ranked Buckeyes 34-27.
Lastly, sophomore safety Jameel Cook will return to practice after spring break. Position shuffling Last summer in training camp, freshman running back Devonte Williams was moved to cornerback to help a young secondary without much experience. But this offseason, Williams told the staff he would like to switch back to running back. Wilson said Williams can be useful in the reverse, fly-sweep perimeter running game, an offensive facet the
Hoosiers were lacking lately. Similarly, sophomore Leon Thornton spent most of his freshman season at receiver before switching to defensive back after several injuries in the secondary. Unlike Williams, Thornton wanted to stay at defensive back this spring. Offensive line moving forward Wilson said the coaching staff named the offensive line as the No. 1 position group on the team during the offseason. But that group will have
to replace All-American left tackle Jason Spriggs as well as center Jake Reed. Sophomore Brandon Knight has been one player to watch as Spriggs’ replacement. Knight came to IU as an offensive tackle but spent time at tight end as well. Wilson said they are asking Knight neither to lose nor gain weight or to choose a position yet, but he spoke fondly of him on the line. “Brandon Knight’s probably our best left tackle right now,” he said. In terms of replacing Reed,
Wilson said he expects senior Wes Rogers to be the starter. All-American senior right guard Dan Feeney took some snaps at center and right tackle but is still a guard, Wilson said. Rogers and senior guard Jacob Bailey represent the kind of players that have not been typically listed as starters but have plenty of experience starting. Wilson also mentioned sophomore tackle Tim Gardner, who he said hasn’t done anything wrong but hasn’t played much because of the depth.

Cheerleading coach reflects on successful career at IU By Ryan Lucas lucasry@indiana.edu | @RyanLucasIU
Julie Horine was entering her senior year at IU as a captain of the cheerleading team. The program needed a head coach. During a conversation with Chuck Crabb, an administrator for the cheerleading program, she expressed her desire to pursue a career in coaching. After their conversation, Horine got the job and spent her senior season at IU coaching the team as well as cheering. “Chuck gave me the opportunity to see how it went,” Horine said. “And I guess I did OK, because they kept me around all this time.” Horine, 48, has been the cheerleading program’s coach for 27 years. In January, she coached the all-female Crimson Cheerleaders to their fourth national championship in the last five years for Division 1-A at the UCA College Cheer and Dance Championships. The squad has placed second or better every year since 2011. Before she coached national champions, Horine got her start in cheerleading as a fifth grader in Noblesville, Indiana. She learned to cheer by attending clinics and watching older students.
“I had no idea that’s what I would end up doing as a career,” Horine said. “It was just a part of my junior high, high school and college career.” As a cheerleader at IU, Horine witnessed success in many divisions of IU athletics, including national championships in men’s basketball and men’s soccer. She said it was an exciting time to be involved with IU athletics. “It was awesome,” Horine said. “I witnessed very few losses in Assembly Hall; losing wasn’t an option. We went to bowl games all four years, and it was fantastic.” When Horine was named coach of the cheerleading program, she was responsible for three different teams. She said she first coached at nationals with the co-ed team in 1992. Horine said her role with the program has changed over the years. She now coaches the co-ed Cream and all-female Crimson Cheerleaders with the help of six assistant coaches, including five former IU cheerleaders. Horine said she also does administrative work for the program, such as planning trips, meals and transportation for the teams. Haley Daniel, junior on the Crimson Cheerleaders squad, said Horine is like a mother to her and other cheerleaders.
“There’s a lot more we deal with as coaches. As head coach, I spend less time coaching skills and cheerleading, and more time developing them as people.” Julie Horine, IU cheerleading coach
“If we ever need something, we call Julie and she always has the answer,” Daniel said. “She teaches you so much more than to wave your pom poms.” Horine said student-athletes and how she works with them has changed during her 27 years of coaching. “There’s a lot more we deal with as coaches,” Horine said. “As head coach, I spend less time coaching skills and cheerleading, and more time developing them as people.” Carol Ann Mitchell, senior on the Cream Cheerleaders squad, said the program would not be where it is today without Horine. “Julie is Indiana cheerleading,” Mitchell said. “Indiana cheerleading is respected all around the country, and people try to model their programs after us. It’s not just because of our success, it’s how we hold ourselves and how we represent the University.”
final game of the regular season Sunday against No. 18 Maryland. The Hoosiers have now won five games in a row and nine of their last 10 as the postseason is about to begin. IU will play in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament on Friday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse against

during a team smoke break. Rebel Middleton, the owner of the two-story green house on Idaville’s Main Street, gets out and approaches the patio. “Can I see it?” Weaver steps aside and opens the screen door for her. The pair stand in each room for a few moments, not saying much. The rooms are empty, save for loose pieces of trash and a refrigerator full of rotting food. The upstairs is worse. Middleton’s tenants punched a hole through the wall of a bedroom she had hoped to renovate soon. Her eyes begin to fill up with tears. “I’m about ready to cry,” she said. “It was a beautiful house.” Weaver nodded. The police found a meth lab in Middleton’s house after her tenants refused to leave on their eviction date. Middleton said her tenants were Shane Whiteman and his girlfriend April. Middleton sued Whiteman soon after the eviction in small claims court. He appeared in court Oct. 2, 2015, and paid $2,850 in fines, according to the White County clerk’s office. They were evicted after almost a year of renting Middleton’s house. In May, Middleton started noticing problems with her tenants. Whiteman seemed to understand the notice to evict, Middleton said. But she said when she showed up on the court-ordered date and asked them to clear out, he busted out a window and chased her down the street before April stopped him. Middleton called the police. The couple threw what they could into their truck and darted. It wasn’t long after the police showed up that officers realized there was meth in the house. Without catching them in the act, though, no one could be charged with meth manufacture or possession. The little green house was the first Middleton bought with her own money. Now,
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 Property owners are responsible for choosing one of 33 private companies on a list provided by the state to deal with the lingering residue after the police leave. Insurance will cover cleanings for landlords and homeowners who have no connection to the people who cooked the meth. Weaver said those cases represent the majority. But without insurance, a cleanup can cost the owner thousands. Weaver is careful not to jack up his prices. Some cleaners, he said, tell unwitting homeowners they need more work done on the house than is required by the state. “I try to treat my clients well,” Weaver said. “I want to be viewed as somebody that cares and wants to help.” Ninety-three percent of the meth captured by the ISP in 2015 was made with a method insiders call the “Shake and Bake,” according to a report from the ISP. Also known as “one pot” cooks, the technique takes about 40 minutes to complete, according to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The result is a pound of toxic sludge and six ounces of meth. Most in law enforcement would identify heroin, not meth, as Indiana’s problem drug. Chad Walker, an undercover detective working in narcotics for the Frankfort Police Department, said it can be bought for about $20 per hit in the area. Yet cracking down on meth use and production in rural areas poses its own challenges. There is a revolving door for meth users, Walker said. For many of those arrested, a short jail stint doesn’t fix addiction. “They’re like weeds,” Walker said. “Pull one, two more show up.” * * * Midday on one of their first days of cleaning in Idaville, a Jeep pulls over

doing the final testing on Middleton’s house, every room has been cleared, sprayed with chemicals three times and scrubbed. Weaver’s boots squelch on the hardwood floors as he paces around the house, swabs the walls and puts cotton balls in test tubes. The final results will show the house can be lived in again soon. Middleton plans to lease it again. For Weaver, the job doesn’t end when he takes off the hazmat suit. He recently cleaned a neighbor’s house in Frankfort, too close to the home he fought to keep during his divorce, the place where his kids have two dogs they still love buried in the backyard. Weaver never released his neighbor’s house. The owner didn’t replace the HVAC unit. But the drug still came back. One morning after a shift at the fire department, Weaver came home to find footprints leading from the neighbor’s house to his. It could have been nothing. Since he started in the meth cleanup business, he’s become more skeptical. “My trust in people has changed a lot,” he said. “Now I’m more apprehensive.” It’s muscle memory now to look for the signs of meth. Luckily for Weaver’s business, he’ll keep finding it. He just wishes it wasn’t next door.
