IUSA ELECTIONS

Amplify IUSA wins election based on preliminary results By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

Amplify for IUSA won the IU Student Association election based on preliminary results after polling stations closed at 5:30 p.m. and online voting ended at 10 p.m. Thursday. Amplify for IUSA garnered 3,574 votes, according to Election Commissioner Aparna Srinath. INtouch for IUSA came in second with 2,697 votes and Unify for IUSA came in third with 1,994 votes. The IUSA election commission and Supreme Court, however, must still review all complaints regarding potential infractions. As of Thursday, tickets had already filed 13 complaints: seven against Amplify for IUSA, five against INtouch for IUSA and one against Unify for IUSA. Tickets may file complaints regarding potential infractions through an online submission form by 4 p.m. Friday. Srinath said she expects tickets to file more complaints. Upon receiving a complaint, the election commission distributes a copy of the complaint to the IUSA Supreme Court and the IU director of student life and learning, and posts a copy of the complaint outside the IUSA office, according the election code. Upon accepting a complaint, the election commission evaluates the infraction according to a predetermined list. The predetermined list will then outline several infractions and their corresponding percentage-based loss of votes. The percentage-based loss of votes will be proportional to the severity of

Applications to be part of the IU College of Arts and Sciences Luminaries Program are due Friday. The College Luminaries Program invites distinguished alumni back to campus to engage with students about gaining success in their field. This fall, the program will bring five alumni Luminaries, one from each division of the College — Natural and Mathematical, Arts and Humanities, Social and Historical, Global and International, and the Media School, Program Co-Director Maeve Bartiss said. Senior Emily Zhang said being part of the team means being able to have a maximum effect on the college. “We try to choose alumni that will most inspire students and be able to give them advice,” Zhang said. The program is scheduled for Nov. 8-10, Bartiss said. Co-Director Samantha Strong said this will allow all students in the college to see successful people that were once in their shoes. “It’s having the opportunity to integrate a liberal arts education with the opportunity to network with the Luminaries,” she said. The positions being filled are Hoosier Hosts and the Luminaries Marketing and Communications Task Force. Bartiss said the Hoosier Hosts will guide the Luminaries between SEE LUMINARIES, PAGE 6

the infraction. Nick Laszlo, Amplify for IUSA’s presidential candidate, said after a campaign season full of pressure and stress, members of his ticket are happy they pulled off an unofficial win. “I think all of the tickets had a dedicated team and all of the tickets had good ideas, but I think we’re the team that stuck together the most through thick and thin.” The current administration will leave office April 16, at which point, Laszlo said, members of his ticket will begin filling staff and preparing policy. The official results, as well as further coverage of complaints and ticket reactions, can be read in a follow-up story in Monday’s Indiana Daily Student.

The models stood still and chatted in the crowded room as the designers made last-minute adjustments to their dresses, standing near a rack lined with clothes ranging from bright yellow to neutral tones of black and white. As people prepared for the show backstage, the audience streamed into the room, sitting in the chairs surrounding the triangular runway. Alumni Hall in the

Indiana Memorial Union quickly filled up beyond seating capacity and people gathered in the back, tiptoeing to see past the people in front of them. The models showcased a wide range of styles as they walked down the runway during last night’s IU Fashion Design B.A. Fashion Show, which was produced by the Retail Studies Organization. The event was the program’s biggest fashion show yet, featuring the work of 24 fashion design students.

The models showcased the styles of each designer as they walked through an archway onto the runway, accompanied by upbeat electronic music. Some wore vibrant colors like bright red, deep blue and glittering hues of green, while others wore simple black and white dresses. Some clothes were form-fitting, while others trailed against the floor. The designs included details such as helmets, capes and SEE FASHION, PAGE 6

BASEBALL

IU shortstop will not play against Rutgers By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

When the Hoosiers take the field this weekend at Bart Kaufman Field, they will once again be without one of their key players. IU (18-11, 2-6) will have to play Rutgers (11-20, 5-4) without its opening day starting shortstop, junior Nick Ramos. IU Coach Chris Lemonis said Wednesday that while Ramos’ health is improving, he will not be ready to play until sometime next week. Lemonis said Ramos is back and practicing with the team after suffering an injury to his left hand during a practice in mid-March. The last time Ramos started for IU was on March 11 in a 9-1 win against Eastern Michigan. “Midweek next week is probably better for him,” Lemonis said. “He’s got all of the pins taken out and everything.” Sophomore first baseman Austin Cangelosi returned to his position in the field Wednesday, playing all nine innings at first base and going 0-for-3 at the plate with a walk. He sprained his left ankle running out an infield single March 31 during IU’s 7-3 win at Kentucky. He had to come out of the game immediately and was unable to play for the entirety of last weekend’s series against Michigan. He was able to play as a designated hitter in Sunday’s 4-3 loss against Michigan, going 0-for-4 at the plate. Junior starting pitcher Kyle Hart also returned to the field Wednesday in IU’s 5-4 loss against

Cincinnati. Hart started and pitched two innings, striking out five batters. It was the first time Hart has pitched since March 11 when he also threw two scoreless innings against Eastern Michigan. “It was just two innings and we were happy to get him out there for those two innings,”

Lemonis said. “Maybe he’ll be a guy who can help us out in our bullpen here.” He is in the process of recovering from Tommy John surgery after he injured his throwing elbow March 30, 2014, in a game against Ohio State. The starting pitchers against Rutgers will be Caleb Baragar,

Jake Kelzer and Scott Effross, in that order. IU currently sits in 10th place in the Big Ten, outside of the tournament field, while Rutgers is currently in fifth place. An IU sweep of Rutgers would move the Hoosiers ahead of the Scarlet Knights in the Big Ten standings.
