Fogle pleads guilty to charges
MISSED CONNECTION Students recount terrorist attacks,
IU alumnus handed nearly 16-year prison sentence and lifetime supervision in trial

“18 dead in Paris.” “60 dead in Paris.” “100 dead in Paris.” These statements were all text messages IU junior Zowie Genender received from her father the evening of Friday, Nov. 13, immediately following the Islamic State group terrorist attacks that occurred in the 11th arrondissement of the city of Paris. “Bombing occurred in Ankara,” read the CNN notification that reached IU senior Grace Burris’s phone when she was out to breakfast with friends the morning of Oct. 10, immediately following the bombing of a train station in Ankara, Turkey.
“Pathetic,” “despicable,” “diabolical” and “inexcusable.” This is how Jared Fogle’s own defense team described his actions during his four-and-three-quarter-hour sentencing hearing. The former Subway spokesman and IU alumnus was sentenced to 15 years and eight months in prison and lifetime supervision on two federal counts. He was also fined $175,000 in addition to the $1.4 million already paid as restitution to the 14 victims in his case. If any other victims are identified Fogle must pay the same $100,000 restitution to them as well. On Aug. 19, Fogle pleaded guilty to charges of possessing child pornography and traveling across state lines to engage in sex with a minor. Though the federal maximum for two federal felonies is 50 years, the prosecutors settled on a plea deal of 12.5 years. Fogle’s attorneys bargained for five years. Ultimately the decision was Judge Tanya Walton Pratt’s. “The level of perversion and lawlessness exhibited by Mr. Fogle is extreme,” Pratt said. Fogle’s illegal activity took place throughout the course of eight years from 2007 until June 2015. In July, the FBI raided Fogle’s home. This was after investigators found 400 videos of child pornography in the former executive director of the Jared Foundation, Russell Taylor’s home. SEE FOGLE, PAGE 6

eneder, who has been studying abroad for the fall semester in Paris, was traveling the day of the attack and was in Lisbon, Portugal, when she received the messages from her father. If Genender had been home in Paris, however, she would have been only six minutes away from the main attack. Burris is a member of the Turkish Flagship Program and is currently living in Ankara, Turkey, for the school year. If she had been home during the bombing, she would have been 13 minutes away from the explosion. “I was getting messages from people back in the states and back in Bloomington wondering if I’m OK, where I am and how close everything is happening and what exactly is happening,” Genender said. “That ranged from people that I haven’t talked to in years to my best friends and family members.” Genender returned to Paris on Saturday morning, the day after the main attack. Upon her arrival, Genender’s host
mom told her that her son witnessed many murders, and he also saw a terrorist with a suicide belt just minutes from their apartment. Her other son is a member of the anti-terrorist police force, and Genender said he made an effort to tell her the situation was definitely not over. Genender is the only IU student on her particular study abroad program, Institute for the International Education of Students. She received numerous emails from the program at the time of the attack and would have received text messages as well if she had been in Paris. Once she heard IU had confirmed the safety of all IU students in Paris, however, she had no idea how the confirmation was made. She didn’t receive any communication from IU until Monday when the Office of Overseas Study reached out to her personally. This communication was two days after IU had sent out the confirmation of safety. The attack was not the first to occur in Paris this year. In January the terrorist
“The world has a more Eurocentric or ‘Westerncentric’ view so when something happens like what happened in Paris everyone responds. But when it’s in Ankara or Beirut or Lebanon, it is just a small blurb on the news. It is a world view, a world trend.” Grace Burris, IU senior studying abroad in Ankara, Turkey

Art therapist helps cognitively impaired By Rachel Meert rmeert@indiana.edu
Paula Worley printed out sets of instructions for Popsicle-stick lanterns as she assembled materials for the craft Thursday at the Better Day Club. Bottles of glue and scissors were set out in separate bins and tissue paper was set on the table. She said she gives one handout to each participant to remind them of the steps, listed numerically on the sheet, in case they forget. Doing a sequence project can be difficult for participants with short-term memory loss, she said. Worley is an art therapist at the Better Day Club, an adult day center in Bloomington designed for individuals suffering from cognitive changes due to aging or Alzheimer’s, as well as other forms of dementia. In her four years of experience as an art therapist, Worley has worked with many people who have experienced trauma, were diagnosed with cancer or are elderly individuals with cognitive disorders.
With Worley’s recent work at the Better Day Club, she said she discovered art therapy helps the participants in multiple ways. This kind of therapy helps individuals cognitively, increases their verbalization skills, helps their self-esteem, reduces their anxiety and improves her ability to communicate with their caregivers for both themselves and their caretakers, Worley said. For elderly patients suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, she said art therapy is an effective method that allows them to acquire new techniques and focus on the abilities they still have. “We’re using their assets and their strengths instead of focusing on what they can’t do and focusing on something they can do, which is empowering for them,” Worley said. Dementia directly affects individuals’ mental ability, causing memory loss or difficulty doing everyday tasks, according to the Alzheimer’s Association website. Because the visual and artistic abilities of those suffering from
cognitive progression, or a regression rather, and patients that have these kinds of challenges seem to hang onto their imaginative or potentials. And these potentials rest in likely different areas and more deeper areas of the brain and this is the area that the creative arts therapies are identified
After the first two games of the season — an exhibition win against Slippery Rock and the season-opening win against Tennessee State — IU Coach Teri Moren said she knew the Hoosiers needed to perform better in the third and fourth quarters if they wanted to be competitive in the Preseason Women’s National Invitation Tournament. After heading into the locker room with a slim halftime deficit of 42-39, IU would be outscored in the second half, 42-30, to allow DePaul to pull away and win the semifinal match, 84-69. The Hoosiers turned the ball over 14 times in the first half but managed to keep the Blue Demons to a 40.5 field goal percentage and maintain a 3-point deficit. DePaul also attempted 22 threepoint field goals and hit just eight of them in the first half for 24 of its 42 first half-points, but it also allowed IU to box out and bring down 18 rebounds. IU set the pace throughout the first half as it did throughout its first three games by giving the ball to sophomore guard Tyra Buss and running up and down the court on offense and defense. In the second
