IU adds depth with commit From IDS reports
Sworn to serve By Emily Ernsberger | emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyernsberger
State history was made in downtown Indianapolis earlier this week. Justice Loretta Rush was sworn in as Chief Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court Monday in the Supreme Court Law Library, which she called in her swearing-in ceremony “a jewel in our beautiful Statehouse.” An IU alumna, she is the first woman to serve as chief justice of the state’s highest court and the second woman to ever serve on the bench. Rush was appointed as the 108th justice of the Indiana Supreme Court by then-Gov. Mitch Daniels in September 2012. She is the most recently appointed justice on the court, but addressing her fellow justices at the ceremony, she reminds them that she is still “only one vote.” Originally from Pennsylvania, Rush received her undergraduate degree from Purdue University and graduated from the IU Maurer School of Law in 1983. She serves on the school’s Board of Visitors. Before being chosen to serve on the state’s highest court, Rush was the juvenile court judge in Tippecanoe County. Many of her 20 court opinions she wrote as an associate justice dealt with juvenile cases. Rush’s historical appointment has left many thankful for her representation of women in the legal system.
“She is the first female chief, and it’s a court that has not had enough women on it,” said Charles Geyh, professor at the Maurer School of Law. “The Indiana Bar is terrific and is full of women who have not found their way onto the court.” However, Geyh said her newfound place in Indiana history should not overshadow her prior accomplishments. “There is some political significance of her being the first woman, and it’s not to say she isn’t a symbol,” Geyh said. “She’s a whole lot more than a symbol. She is a competent judge who deserves this.” Eighteen other states have women currently serving as chief justices of their supreme courts. To be appointed chief justice, SEE JUSTICE, PAGE 3
IU added to its frontcourt depth with a late roster addition Wednesday morning, with 6-foot-7 forward Emmitt Holt’s commitment to the program. Holt, who was originally a member of the 2015 class, reclassified to the 2014 class in order to graduate in May. He intended to attend prep school for a year before playing in college but reopened his recruitment this summer. “My parents always told me that the worst feeling in life is to look back and say ‘I wonder’ because once doors close it’s rare they are reopened,” Holt said via Twitter on Wednesday morning. “Today I would like to announce that I have committed to Indiana University.” While Holt’s addition gives IU Coach Tom Crean another body in his team’s weakest area – the post – the move might create a problem for Crean next season. The Hoosiers now have no scholarships left to offer for the 2015-16 season, barring any player departures. In his final season at Webster Schroeder (N.Y.), Holt averaged 19.8 points, 14.6 rebounds and 5 blocks per game and was named a finalist for New York’s Mr. Basketball award. He chose IU over Drexel, Duquesne, Hofstra and Vermont, among others. Alden Woods

Veterans to receive Comedy Attic to present previous tuition breaks under SNL performer Brooks Wheelan new federal law By Alexis Daily

Students in military service may be eligible for a tuition break next fall as a result of the Veterans’ Access to Care through Choice, Accountability and Transparency Act. President Obama’s signature earlier this month means veteran students will enjoy instate tuition at public universities, according to the act. Currently, IU students serving or who have been discharged within a year receive in-state tuition, said Margaret Baechtold, director of IU Veterans Support Services. This is based on Indiana Senate Enrolled Act 177, which was passed in summer 2013. Both the new and old laws provide the same tuition break: no matter if a veteran goes to an out of state or in-state school, if they meet the requirements, they only pay in-state tuition. “As an institution, IU has been fairly supportive of this legislation and is certainly supportive of military and veteran students on campus,” Baechtold said. “Administration at the campus and the university level have always wanted to look out for this population in particular.” The new federal Veteran’s Access to Care Act will widen the window for qualifying students. Servicemen
and women may not still be serving, but they can qualify if they’ve been discharged within three years of their enrollment date. The Indiana act also differs from the federal act in who receives these tuition breaks. The state law assists serving Indiana National Guard members and all military veterans but does not extend to family members, Baechtold said. To be eligible under the federal law, veterans must be using either the Montgomery GI Bill, which took effect after the Vietnam War, or the post-Sept. 11 GI Bill. If the GI Bill benefits are currently being extended to a spouse or family member, then the tuition break will also be extended under the new law. During the 2013-14 school year, only 16 veterans in all seven IU campuses received this tuition break, Baechtold said. Of the 516 veteran students at IU-Bloomington, only six of them benefited from the state law. Although it only reaches a fraction of the veteran population, these tuition breaks add up to at least a $22,000 difference per year. “I don’t think there should be any limitations for a veteran as far as where he goes to school,” said Micah Hazlip, IU sophomore and Air Force veteran. “I think it’s put in the law for a good reason. I definitely support it.”
Former “Saturday Night Live” actor Brooks Wheelan said he decided to come to Bloomington because he heard the Comedy Attic was a cool place to perform. “In Bloomington, I just want to straight up chill,” he said. “The shows have been off the chain so far.” “It wasn’t a matter of if Brooks would come, but when he would come,” said Jared Thompson, owner of the Comedy Attic. “The hardest part is convincing the comedians who have preconceived notions about the Midwest to come to Bloomington. Once they’ve performed here, it’s easy to re-book them in the future.” Thompson said he watched a clip of Wheelan’s stand-up before the actor joined the “Saturday Night Live” cast in 2013. Wheelan’s well thought-out jokes drew him to the comedian. “He is an extremely gifted standup comic, but he is also very good at sketch comedy and improv,” Thompson said. “You would expect him to be more like other comedians his own age, but he’s much more sophisticated.” Wheelan was added to the Saturday Night Live cast in 2013 but was dropped after one season. After SNL, Wheelan has been working on stand-up and improv acts on a variety of platforms, including TV shows

and the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. After seeing Wheelan live at Bonnaroo this year, senior Blair Heidenreich said she is excited to see Wheelan perform. Heidenreich has worked with Midnight Snack Comedy, a student comedy troupe at IU, since her freshman year. “I love that he’s continuing with his comedy career even though he was recently let go by SNL,” Heidenreich said. “A lot of comedians face a lot of rejection, and I think it’s an amazing inspiration to see someone continue with their passion of comedy.” Thompson said they show clips of Wheelan’s stand-up before other shows to build excitement for his upcoming performances. He said Wheelan has an original perspective, especially for a younger person. “Brooks fits in perfectly to what
we do here at the Comedy Attic,” Thompson said. “He gives a snapshot of stand-up around the country, and his stage presence is very unique.” According to “Ten Places Where Comedy Is King,” a USA Today article published Jan. 11 of this year, the Comedy Attic was named one of the 10 best comedy clubs in the country. “We’ve put so much time and effort into this place, spending 10 hours a day for three months fixing the place up before it opened,” he said. “It was so humbling to be recognized, and it just makes us want to try harder and to continue moving forward.” Wheelan performs at 8 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Friday, and 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $8 for students and $12 for general admission and are open to anyone 17 and older. Doors open one hour prior to the start time.

Kelley grad receives $100,000 for start-up From IDS Reports
diverse class yet, according to the release. This increase reflects the push in the IU-Bloomington Strategic Plan to recruit and retain more underrepresented students as undergraduates. “The academic quality and the increase in diverse students are improvements directly connected to the IU-Bloomington strategic plan, and it is exciting to see our strategic work taking shape,” Johnson added. African-American student enrollment is projected to increase by 7 percent, according to the University, with Hispanic enrollment increasing by 10 percent. IU also boasts 711 new international students from 41 countries. Most first-year students are Indiana residents, from 89 of Indiana’s 92 counties.
A Kelley School of Business MBA graduate has won $100,000 in start-up funding for his new company at IUBloomington’s third annual Building Entrepreneurs in Software and Technology competition, according to a University release Wednesday. Gregory Mattes, who graduated earlier this year, created Analog Computing Solutions, a company that will focus on improving the technology of hearing aids and prosthetic devices, according to the release. His business model uses technologies licensed by IU’s Research and Technology Corp. originally developed by IU-Bloomington and IU-Purdue University Indianapolis faculty members. “It has been great to receive validation from an external group that we had a strong business case, and it’s also nice to see the hard work start to pay off,” said Mattes, who will be CEO and president of the company. As of 2012, only six corporations were responsible for more than 90 percent of hearing aids purchased worldwide. This totals $5.4 billion and 10.8 million devices, according to the release. Mattes’ company is looking to replace the digital signal processing hardware of most hearing aid devices with an extended analog computer, according to the release. As of now, hearing aids are effective because they use filtering algorithms to make soft noises louder and loud noises softer. They also monitor for feedback, cancel and filter out sound, reduce amplification of steady state sounds, identify and enhance speech and focus on conversations. “But because of the power limitations of hearing aid electronics, digital signal processing restricts the ability to perform complex algorithms to improve hearing,” Mattes said in the release. “The low-power computing architecture of the extended analog computer allows for improved sound processing, longer battery life and improved hearing.” Mattes will also be assisted by IU faculty and staff in his company. Bryce Himebaugh, a School of Informatics and Computing computer engineering specialist, will be chief technology officer. IUPUI associate professor of bioengineering Ken Yoshida will serve as chief technology officer and John Hill, associate dean at Kelley, will be a business adviser. “BEST was a fun experience for me,” Mattes said in the release. “It was a clear and transparent process, and I was able to put my Kelley MBA skills to work.”

Millions of students never receive degree By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@umail.iu.edu | @aesherma
Thirty-one million students have deserted higher education without a degree or certificate in the past 20 years, according to a report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center and IU’s Project on Academic Success. Of these 31 million, 4 million left after having enrolled for at least two years. “The most important takeaway is that there are a lot of students out there who really represent a large potential resource for increasing college completion in the United States,” said Doug Shapiro, National Student Clearinghouse Research Center executive research director. IU-Bloomington’s retention rate of full-time beginners was 76.2 percent in 2011, and its four-year graduation rate of bachelor’s-seeking students was 60 percent in 2009. The total graduation rate was higher when factoring in six- and eight-year graduation rates. “Bloomington already has really high retention and graduation rates,” said Rebecca Torstrick, director of the Office of Completion and Student Success and assistant vice president for University Academic and Regional Campus Affairs. “So when you’re starting from a place where your rates are already high, it’s really hard to move them
even higher.” Most of the students in the study had very little engagement with higher education, having enrolled for merely one term. Researchers labeled these students unlikely candidates for return. Some of the students studied, however, had more engagement with higher educations, having enrolled for at least two years. Researchers labeled these students likely candidates for return, or “potential completers,” according to the report. “We think the most important way that these findings can be used by colleges and universities is to learn more about their former students and to help them find ways to, one, encourage them to come back and finish their degrees in cases where that’s feasible, and, two, devise programs and services that will make it more likely that they’ll be successful when they do come back,” Shapiro said. In June, IU announced the creation of the Office of Completion and Student Success, the Interactive Graduation Planning Success System, and the Student Success Collaborative. All three initiatives are part of an intensifying effort to improve student’s four- and six-year graduation rates, according to a release. “These initiatives are focused on freeing up more adviser time to meet directly
with students,” Torstrick said. “So the initiatives help identify students getting into academic difficulty or who have had life issues happen that might lead them to stop out so that we can intervene before that happens.” IU also uses the FLAGS early alert system, which allows instructors to express concern regarding student attendance or performance and targets numerous workshops and programs toward struggling students, studentathletes, minority students and low-income students, Torstrick said. Nevertheless, students continue to drop out. “You always try to reach back out to stopouts and to get them back into school to complete their degrees,” Torstrick said. Once students have dropped out, however, because of changes in email addresses and street address, they are often hard to track down, Torstrick said. Furthermore, dropouts often cite poor grades, financial difficulties, family obligations and health issues as reasons for leaving. “A lot of the reasons that students end up leaving are not things that the University can control,” Torstrick said. “So we’re working really hard on making sure that in areas where we can help students, we’re doing a solid job providing the needed support.”

Freshman class breaks records in enrollment From IDS Reports
This year’s freshman class breaks records across the board in enrollment, GPA and diversity, according to an IU release. IU welcomes 7,708 firstyear students this week, topping 2012’s recordbreaking new student numbers by 95 students. “We are pleased to have IU-Bloomington’s largest class ever moving onto campus this week,” David Johnson, vice provost for enrollment management, said in the release. This year’s class has a median high school GPA of 3.73 on a four-point scale, according to the release, up 0.01 points from last year’s class GPA of 3.72.

Police to conduct random sobriety checks Troopers from the Indiana State Police Bloomington Post will conduct a sobriety checkpoint Friday at a random, undisclosed location, according to a press release. When drivers pass through the checkpoint, they will be required to show their license
and registration to officers, who will then determine if further investigation is needed. The process should be brief, the release states. The police encourage everyone to practice safe driving and to arrange for a designated driver if necessary.
Man arrested after attempted rape, confinement From IDS reports
A female woke up to a man lying on top of her with his hand over her mouth at approximately 3 a.m. Wednesday morning, according to a press release from the Bloomington Police Department. She screamed, and the man, 42-year-old Andrew Carie, fled. He was arrested Wednesday and charged with attempted rape, burglary and confinement. He has no permanent address, according to the release. The BPD found Carie in the bushes nearby the victim’s house, a residence on the 1200 block of West Seventh Street. He was holding a flashlight and tried to inform the officers he was looking for the same suspect as they were and he had chased him down without success. Carie was then detained and questioned before being transferred to the Monroe County Jail.
» JUSTICE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 associate justices are interviewed by the Judicial Nominating Commission, a nonpartisan committee consisting of lawyers and non-lawyers, Geyh said. They then vote on who fills the vacancy. The process to fill the seat took place Aug. 6. Geyh said any judge making it through that type of vetting process is capable of doing the job. Indiana Supreme Court justices are to retire by age 75. Now-associate justice Brent Dickson stepped down this year from his position as chief justice, presumably because he faces retirement in two years. Rush is 56 years old. The Indiana Supreme Court currently consists of a chief justice and four associate justices, the minimum allowed by the Indiana Constitution. Nominees for associate justices are chosen similarly to those for chief justice.
When the officers checked the residence, they found an open bathroom window. Mud prints tracked on the floor below the window and in the bedroom where the victim had been sleeping. Officers found Carie’s jacket, which contained his identification, on the side of the house with the open window. Because of his criminal history, Carie is also facing charges of being a habitual offender, which could add as many as 20 years on his sentence if he’s convicted for “the most serious charges,” according to the release. At the time of the release, there was no connection between this incident and a sexual assault that was reported on the B-Line trail on Monday. Both cases remain under investigation. Carie’s bond has been set at $100,000 surety and $1,000 cash. Sarah Zinn The Judicial Nominating Commission chooses three nominees to fill a bench vacancy. The governor chooses which of those nominees will be appointed. After serving two years on the court, justices are put up for retention votes by state citizens in the next general election. If retained, justices serve a 10-year term on the court and are then put back on the ballot. Rush’s first retention vote will be this year, alongside Justice Mark Massa. In her swearing-in speech, Rush remembered her first week on the court, when Justice Massa leaned over to her and whispered that, “sitting in conference with the other justices and discussing the law was a remarkable experience and the highlight of his life. I soon came to agree,” she said. “Well, I guess there’s only one thing left to be said,” Rush said, concluding her remarks. “Let’s get back to work.”

Store brings Alaska to town By Brian Seymour briseymo@indiana.edu | @briseymo
Community members may have noticed a new retail store on the square where Williams Jewelry once stood. The shop is called Seaview Outfitters, and its 25-year-old owner and operator, Steve Thomas, seeks to combine an amicable customer service experience with brand-name outdoor apparel and merchandise including Columbia, Patagonia and Vineyard Vines. The retail shop offers clothing and outdoor resources for everyone, Thomas said. General lifestyle pieces can be purchased by the casual community-goer, but die-hard outdoorsmen can also find more technical equipment. “Seaview Outfitters — we like to call it an Alaskainspired outdoor lifestyle store,” Thomas said. “We truly have something for everybody.” The story of the retail shop has its roots in Hope, Ala. Thomas was just a teenager when his aunt offered him and his younger brothers employment at her locally owned restaurant, the Seaview Café, and Thomas quickly fell in love with the Alaskan landscape. Years later, he was accepted into the Farmers School
of Business at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. There, he studied accounting and earned both his undergraduate and master’s degrees. But the thoughts of slaving away in a cubicle and the nostalgia of his aunt happily running a small business steered Thomas away from becoming a certified public accountant. “I just could not stop getting my aunt out of my head and just how happy she was running a small business,” he said. “If I went into accounting, I would’ve been doing just accounting all day, every day.” This spurred Thomas to start his own business. Seaview Outfitters was officially open for business Aug. 18, 2011, when Thomas was just a senior. Balancing classes with operating a business was a hefty task for him. The first year of business was so busy he can hardly remember much from the period, he said. The business took off in its second year after Thomas had graduated and could dedicate more time to it. Seaview Outfitters, now in its third year, is experiencing steady growth. Choosing Bloomington as a second location for Seaview Outfitters was a strategic business choice that Thomas had to analyze, he
said. The consumer population in Bloomington is enormous and goes beyond the size of the city’s actual population when taking tourists into account, Thomas said. Combine this with a low number of competitors and a product that can be purchased year-round by both students and residents and you’ve got a recipe for a potentially successful small business. Bloomington is also a place Thomas can see himself starting a family and settling down, so the decision wasn’t just about business, he said. Thomas has big plans for Seaview Outfitters’ future. He intends to inherit his aunt’s restaurant down the road and plan guided trips from his stores in Oxford and Bloomington to Alaska. “Those who sign up would have to be serious about a trip like that, but I think it would be a unique feature,” he said. Further expansion of the retail store is not likely. Thomas said he’d prefer to maximize business in his current outlets rather than open 10 stores with only moderate success. According to distinguished IU business professor and author David Audretsch, small business
success is low, and only about one in five startups survive longer than five years. Pointing to a diagram in one of his books, Audretsch said that as a startup approaches its fifth year of business, its hazard rate, or chance of failing, diminishes and begins to level off. “But it’s all a matter of conditional probability,” Audretsch said, citing that geography, community and sector can affect a startup’s viability. He also added that Seaview Outfitters is not selling commodities but emotional content, which could work in Thomas’ favor. “Visitors of Bloomington aren’t going to the local shops to buy something they need,” Audretsch said. “They’re going to the local shops to buy something they can feel emotionally connected to and keep for its sentimental value, even if it means purchasing it at a higher price. Consumption is an experience, not a means to an end.” Fresh out of college himself, Thomas wants to connect with the IU student body and offer advice to business students. “You don’t have to wait until you’re older to start your own small business,” he said. “Just look at me.”

ANDREW GUENTHER is a sophomore in political science
The situation in Ferguson, Mo., has reached the boiling point. With peaceful protests turning into riots, police have begun using everything from tear gas to rubber bullets to pummel protesters back into line. The protests in Ferguson began after a police officer shot and killed an unarmed black man, Michael Brown. It has raised serious questions about police departments themselves. Since 1994, the government has authorized the military to sell equipment to police departments across the country. After the Sept. 11 attacks, the government expanded the program. We must protect our police, but we must discuss what equipment police departments are allowed to operate. Police states prove to be exceptionally dangerous and oppressive. The selling of surplus equipment to police departments is nothing more than a continuing subsidy to military equipment producers and the overarching police state as a whole. Since 2006, for example, Michigan police departments have received $43 million in surplus gear, including 1,795 M16 rifles, 17 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, nine grenade launchers and three helicopters, according to an article by the Grand Rapids, Mich. affiliate of ABC, wzzm13.com. Indiana itself has purchased MRAPS for county police departments, such as Pulaski Country, which has a population of about 13,000 people. Whether or not police need a 55,000-pound, sixwheeled, mine-resistant vehicle to patrol an area home to 13,000 residents is then brought into question. In fact, the United States has been increasingly helping police departments by selling them equipment at a substantial loss — selling equipment that costs $733,000 for $5,000, in one particular Indiana case, according to Business Insider. This police militarization might make police officers in the middle of nowhere feel cooler as they ride around in their armored vehicles with machine guns but it does little to protect actual citizens. For example, a 19-monthold toddler in Wisconsin has a hole blown in his chest from a flashbang grenade, used by police in order to conduct a raid for $50 worth of drugs, according wzzm13.com. The article also mentioned a pregnant mother was shot while holding her 14-monthold son when a SWAT team broke down her front door and opened fire. They were searching for her boyfriend, suspected of drug dealing. Since the beginning of the Iraq war, 4,489 soldiers have been killed in Iraq. The number of American citizens killed by police officers within the U.S. tops that, coming in at 5,000, stated by Global Research. When police officers are killing more civilians than our enemies are killing our soldiers in combat, the country has degraded into a combat zone. Video footage shot in Ferguson proves our worst fears. Police are firing tear gas canisters and rubber bullets at women and children. Reporters are being assaulted and jailed by officers. Politicians who are brave enough to speak out are being attacked. This is our democracy. We hold those protecting it to that standard. ajguenth@indiana.edu

Saying goodbye WE SAY: Start talking about a common killer For some, life is a battle each and every day. And, like most battles, lives are destroyed and taken far too soon. Robin Williams, the famous actor, comedian and philanthropist, committed suicide Aug. 11. His death came as a shock to the world, most of us unaware of Williams’ battle with depression, bipolar disorder and Parkinson’s disease. The demons Williams fought on a daily basis are far too common. One in 10 American adults are estimated to suffer from depression and 2.6 percent suffer from bipolar disorder.One in five suffer from mental illness in general. Mental illness plagues the United States, especially at universities. There’s a reason Counseling and Psychological Services at the Health Center offers two free sessions to every student. There’s a reason organizations such as the Crimson Corps exist. Students suffer, and it absolutely must be addressed. Williams’ death brings attention to an important issue — the rampant indifference to mental health care in this country. The reason mental health care is
so widely dismissed is because of a systemic misunderstanding of the concept of mental illness itself. Many people don’t realize mental illnesses, such as bipolar disorder and depression, are no different from heart or lung disease. They have real, physiological causes. They cause real, serious pain and can, if untreated, cause irreparable damage. At IU, mental illness is a severe issue we should all take seriously. This time in our lives is a period of rapid, and often uncomfortable, change. It’s a time filled with stress, doubt and uncertainty. But it’s also a time of opportunity, experiences and adventure. The Editorial Board would like to urge all students to try and overcome the wall of indifference that exists in relation to mental illness. Oftentimes, those who are suffering the most are those who seem completely normal. It is all too easy to brush off stress, anxiety and antisocial behavior as normal symptoms of college life. But for some, they’re symptoms of devastating illnesses. For some, they can be the reason behind suicide.
We pride ourselves on our sense of community and camaraderie at IU. Our ability to stand behind our basketball team or famous alumni is oftentimes envied by other schools. True camaraderie, however, requires us to take care of one another. The Editorial Board asks everyone here to take care of each other. Ask others how they’re doing. Offer help if someone needs it. Sometimes simply smiling at someone on the way to class can help make his or her day a little brighter. Robin Williams’ death was a tragedy, and it highlights a lesson to be learned: even the funniest, brightest and most generous among us fight their own battles every single day. As Williams said in the movie “Patch Adams,” “If we’re going to fight a disease, let’s fight one of the most terrible diseases of all — indifference.” Look out for your fellow Hoosiers. Know that resources exist to provide help for those who need it. And for those who think the world is too overwhelming to live in, remember — you are not alone. We don’t want to lose any of you this year.

The era of the legging must end I stumble out of bed on a Monday morning and groggily glance at the clock on my bedside table. I am late for class. Again. I rummage through my drawers and yank out the first semi-clean shirt I can find and grab my favorite pair of black leggings off the floor next to my over-worn flip-flops. Boots if it’s fall. This is the outfit of disaster, people. Or, should I say, ladies. Maybe I’m being a little dramatic but it seems that the young women of America love wearing their leggings a little too much. This is an American problem. While spending this summer abroad in the south of France, I did not spot a single French man, woman
or canine sporting a pair of leggings — not a single being (besides my fellow Americans, of course). Upon arrival at the Charles de Gaulle airport just outside Paris, I made this shocking realization. I was the slobby one. While sporting a pair of leggings, I made my way around, slowly realizing that not only was I a foreigner, I was an outcast, a fashion abomination. My astonishment became even more real as I walked through the streets of fashionable Paris. Once settled in my closet-sized hotel room, I immediately corrected my ways. I discarded my leggings onto the floor and swapped them for a floralprint sundress.
Relief. Yes, leggings are “soooo comfy.” And yes, some days a tight pair of blue jeans is just not going to happen. But we’ve gotten too comfortable looking like we just rolled out of bed. I’ll say it bluntly. America, we look like slobs. Sure we’re practically dressed for class. But when we finally graduate college and enter the real world, one without red solo cups and tailgates, we must also relinquish our leggings. Business students can probably already relate. We have to look our best when it comes to job interviews and impressing our boss. Making a good impression is crucial. Now, don’t get me wrong. I love wearing my favor-

ite pair of black leggings as much as the next 20-something-year-old. But when it becomes an everyday occurrence, then it becomes an issue. It doesn’t look great. It’s also kind of tiresome to witness. I’m not saying all college women should trash their leggings and never wear them ever again. I’m just saying we should re-evaluate the occasions for which they are appropriate. Save leggings for that dreadful 8 a.m. discussion class on Fridays, not dinner with the parents. nrowthor@indiana.edu

The western world has been forced to pause when confronted with the enigma that is China’s political economy. The labyrinth of the northern orient creates at best confusion, at worst a dilemma when one attempts to describe and understand the truth behind the “bamboo curtain.” If the waters were not murky enough, the Communist Party of China released a statement, outlining its bold aims for reform. A general theme can be gleaned. The bulk and by far the most important reforms are aimed toward the cornerstones of capitalism, private ownership and labor liberation. So the debate becomes what exactly China’s political economy is, especially in light of such capitalistic reforms. I would argue that the definition and eventual economic results of the system China will have in place could be one of the most important questions of this young century. The reforms include the relaxation of the one-child policy. China harbors an ever-aging population and one of the worst gender gaps in the world. They will reform the welfare system. The original law was put in place to stave urban overcrowding and the drain on valuable city resources. Now, though, citizens that migrate from the rural to urban communities must forfeit all rights to public services. Furthermore, considerable strides are being made in agriculture. Under the current body of law, all land is federal. Farmers are thus seen as tenants, and, as a consequence, they have not had the luxury of using their land as collateral. This will now change. Though the national government will ultimately retain ownership, it will empower tenants to receive the benefits as if they actually owned the land. You see, the western mind believes that “the end of history” has already passed. Let me explain. If we interpret history as a chronology of events building toward the final outcome of the best political, social, environmental, moral and economic system, then, arguably, the edifice has been reached in liberal democracy anchored in laissez faire. Yet, now China approaches with the ability to break the entire paradigm. For China cannot be classified as strictly a completely control-oriented economy, yet neither can it be classified as an open economy. And if it remains someplace in the middle (capitalism with so called Asian values) we must conclude, through the traditional lens, that China will continue to reform until it reaches a fully distilled embodiment of free enterprise and liberal democracy. Because the distilled is more powerful than its alternate, case in point the Albanian drinking tradition, and so it must always win out if economic progress is the goal. However, perhaps the unbelievable growth we have witnessed in China has strictly occurred because it does operate somewhere in the middle in a kind of awkward marriage of collectivism and capitalism. If such were to be the case, the western world would have to rethink the fundamental beliefs that stand guard over our precious liberal democracy. Perhaps history need begin again. cgerst@indiana.edu

O’Bannon case huge for college athletics
IDS FILE PHOTO
The Hoosiers prepare to take the field before IU's 41-35 loss to Navy on Sept. 6 at Memorial Stadium. Last season, IU went 2-2 in the non-conference.
Non-conference critical for Hoosier football I don’t think I have ever been so excited for the idea of Indiana State. Opening day is drawing nearer and nearer, and soon our dear friend college football will be back for several months before leaving us like that girl who always makes us want more. IU football has higher expectations than usual, as this appears to be a winning football team. Today, we are focusing on how the non-conference schedule will shape up for the cream and crimson. Let’s see how it’s looking. Indiana State After battering the Sycamores 73-35 at home last season, the rematch will again be in Bloomington this year. Indiana State went 1-11 last year against a FCS schedule. ISU struggles to put points up, which works just fine for a high scoring IU team. It is safe to say we will start the season with a comfortable victory. Bowling Green This game is more frightening. The defending MAC champs host IU, and this will be the first game where we get a real look at how IU’s defense has improved. Falcon quarterback Matt Johnson put up 3,467 yards last season. He’ll only continue to improve with new coach Dino Baber and his quarterback friendly offensive system. Running back Travis Greene, with 1,594 yards in 2013, is no slouch either. IU should be capable against a questionable Falcon offensive line. Considering that there may be some new coach growing pains, I feel comfortable that IU will take this one, but by no means will it be easy.
Missouri This is the main focus of our non-conference schedule. How the Hoosiers fare against Bowling Green will have a massive effect on how this battle goes in Columbia, Mo. Missouri, the reigning SEC East champions, lose a lot of talent coming into this year, such as SEC Defensive Player of the Year Michael Sam and second round pick Kony Ealy on the defensive line. The problem is, in most places where the Tigers lose talent, they have plenty more waiting for their chance. Most new starters have solid experience playing as back-ups. Quarterback Maty Mauk is a star waiting to happen. He gained some valuable experience with four starts against SEC teams in James Franklin’s absence. Mauk is a gun-slinging stud and a truly exciting player to watch. The issue for him will be losing his three top receivers to graduation, transfers and a suspension. One of those receivers was former No. 1 recruit Dorial GreenBeckham, who transferred to Oklahoma. Missouri will be relying on young, inexperienced wide outs that may not be fully adapted by Sept. 20. Mizzou brings another very talented defensive line, but I think IU’s deep offensive line is impressive enough to contain them. If so, Sudfeld should not have too much trouble passing on a worrisome secondary. This game seems even and will be a tightly contested ball game, regardless. In the end, it appears that Missouri’s home field advantage may be the tipping point, and I foresee a coming out party for Mauk. I give Missouri a tight victory over the Hoosiers, but if IU’s defense improves, as

most are hoping, this might be a stolen road win. North Texas After Missouri, Indiana starts up the Big Ten season against Maryland before ending the non-conference slate with North Texas. Another team coming off a breakthrough season last year with nine wins, the Mean Green (Can we please all take a moment and enjoy that name again?) are only returning nine starters. That is the second lowest in the FBS. Their offense is based around a strong run game and has plenty of backfield talent even after losing top rusher Brandin Byrd. The offensive line is formidable with four returning starters and is the high point of the team. The defense is pretty deep and highlighted by corners Kenny Buyers and James Jones. This defense is the opposite of Missouri in that I do not think the pass rush will have any effect on IU, but the secondary will make things difficult. This might be a day to lean on Tevin Coleman and that Hoosier run game. Regardless, I say IU wins this one. That will especially be the case if the offense gets off to an early lead, because this inexperienced North Texas may not be able to rally. A 3-1 non-conference record is pretty ideal for an IU team that needs to get off to a strong start to succeed in the brutal Big Ten East. brodmill@indiana.edu
Men’s soccer picked to finish season 5th in Big Ten preseason coaches’ poll From IDS Reports
After entering the 2013 season, IU men’s soccer ranked not only as the Big Ten preseason favorite, but in the country, as it was picked to finish fifth in the Big Ten leading into the 2014 season. Every coach ranked each Big Ten team and picked three players from each team they think are players to watch. Big Ten newcomer Maryland was picked to finish first, a year after reaching the national championship game. Included among the three players is sophomore goalkeeper Zack Steffen, who is a regular starter on the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team. Maryland will visit Bloomington Oct. 19 in a game that will also be broadcast live on the Big Ten Network. Michigan State was picked to finish second, while Michigan was picked to finish third, led by the efforts of defending Big Ten Midfielder of the Year senior Tyler Arnone. IU will close its season at home against Michigan State Nov. 5 and travel to Michigan on Oct. 26 in a game that will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
The tides might finally be turning in favor of the players in the fight for paying college athletes such as the ones at IU. If you follow college sports, you’ve probably heard about the Ed O’Bannon case. But in case you haven’t, here’s a quick run-through of the facts. As it currently stands, the NCAA strictly forbids colleges paying athletes anything for their contributions to the school, apart from the scholarships and free room and board they receive during their time as student athletes. These rules have been broken repeatedly, though, by schools and individual students alike. These infractions resulted in heavy sanctions for schools such as the Miami Hurricanes, North Carolina Tarheels and Ohio State Buckeyes in recent years, barring the teams from postseason competition and even stripping wins away in some cases. Enter former University of California at Los Angeles power forward Ed O’Bannon. He originally sued the NCAA and video game developer Electronic Arts in 2009, arguing the NCAA’s reign over college athletics violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by making money from jersey sales and using his likeness for profit in video games such as NCAA March Madness. EA and the Collegiate
Licensing Company settled a $40 million lawsuit that, for athletes who have been featured in video game titles since 2003, would pay up to $4,000 for using their likenesses. But on Aug. 8, an even bigger benchmark in the issue of paying players came when California Federal Judge Claudia Wilken ruled the NCAA was wrong in withholding funds from the football and basketball players who stood to benefit from EA using their likenesses. It set up a sort of a trust fund for those athletes, and while it doesn’t actually force schools such as IU to pay them, it allows for a capped bidding war that universities will be all but forced to participate in to stay competitive in recruiting. It’s a huge step in this drawn-out discussion about paying athletes, no doubt. This finally gives athletes a small piece of the pie in an industry that makes billions of dollars every year on their product. It means the NCAA was proven wrong in their argument that college athletics are truly amateur sports, especially in football and basketball. Critics of the NCAA and pundits all over the country rejoiced in what was viewed as a huge step forward. However, others still don’t think it’s enough. And they have a point.
Austin North is a senior in journalism.
Although a scholarship and a few thousand dollars at the ends of athletes’ playing careers are nice, it’s a laughably small portion of the real money the NCAA and the schools stand to make off their athletes on a yearly basis. Organizations such as IU and the NCAA rake in millions off jersey sales, tickets, merchandising and TV deals with specific networks and have historically shared none of it with the athletes that made it possible. Couple that with the fact that student athletes barely have the time in their schedules to be, you know, students, and it’s pretty obvious that the whole guise of “amateur sports” in college is a farce. College athletics are big business, and to pay your coaches millions upon millions while expecting student athletes to be satisfied with a free education just isn’t fair. But what the O’Bannon ruling means is hope. It means the discussion is on the table for fair compensation, and it means things for student athletes such as the ones here in Bloomington could finally be changing for the better. aknorth@indiana.edu

Penn State was picked to finish fourth a season after claiming the Big Ten regular season crown. The Nittany Lions have reigning Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year senior Andrew Olverton returning to assist in their attempt to repeat. IU opens its Big Ten campaign against Penn State at home Sep. 13. The list is rounded out by Northwestern, Wisconsin, Rutgers and Ohio State. IU’s three players to watch are junior forward Femi Hollinger-Janzen, sophomore midfielder Tanner Thompson
and senior midfielder Jamie Vollmer. Vollmer was key in IU’s Big Ten Tournament victory, scoring his first career goal in the finals against Michigan State to secure a 1-0 win. Vollmer was also named Offensive Player of the Tournament. Hollinger-Janzen was named to the College Cup All-Tournament Team, the Big Ten All-Freshman team and the Soccer America All-Freshman team. Hollinger-Janzen failed to win any accolades in his sophomore campaign. Michael Hughes

Party right for a good night Weekend gives you tips for a safe night out By Ike Hajinazarian | ihajinaz@indiana.edu | @_IkeHaji
SAY SOMETHING. THE LIFELINE LAW HAS GOT YOUR BACK. The Lifeline Law provides immunity (meaning you won’t get in trouble) to minors against the crimes of minor possession, consumption and transportation of alcohol “while seeking medical assistance for a person suffering from an alcohol-related health emergency,” according to the law. Here are the stipulations, though: you have to give your full name and any other information law enforcement needs, you have to remain on the scene until help arrives and you have to fully cooperate with the authorities. The Lifeline Law also only works with alcohol-related incidents, not other drugs. Don’t be afraid to call for help. You’re covered. Source indianalifeline.org
GET CONSENT. A REAL, VERBAL “YES.” Sex without consent is rape. Nineteen percent of college women will be sexually assaulted or will be the victim of attempted sexual assault during their four years in college, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Make sure verbal, conscious consent is given freely from all participants before engaging in any sexual activities. If you are assaulted or someone attempts to assault you, call 911 immediately.
DON’T DRINK ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. Don’t go to that cool party until after you’ve had a nice, big dinner. The age-old wisdom is very much true: alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly when you have an empty stomach. Don’t end the night early because you have to go puke for an hour. Source mayoclinic.org
BE IN CHARGE OF YOUR OWN DRINKS. We’re in college — we like to drink cheaply. A lot of times, that means Gatorade and crappy vodka. But no matter your cocktail of choice, don’t let someone else mix it. You never know what someone might have slipped into it or how much they have served you. In that same vein, don’t leave your drink unattended at a party. Hold onto it.
THERE ARE A MILLION WAYS TO GET HOME. DON’T LET DRUNK DRIVING BE ONE. Plan in advance exactly how you’re going to get home after a night of drinking — whether it be the Night Owl bus, a taxi, a designated driver or just walking with a friend. Worst-case scenario: just ask to spend the night with someone. Drunk driving kills 28 people a day, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A human life is far too high a price to pay for laziness.
PACE YOURSELF. Don’t feel pressured into taking 10 shots in 10 minutes. That’s asking to get your stomach pumped. Drink casually and socially. Hold on to the same cup for an hour and sip it occasionally.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS. Don’t drink more than you’re comfortable with just because it seems like that’s what others are doing. Early in the night, set a number of drinks you’re planning on having, and stick to it. When you’re done drinking, fill a solo cup with something non-alcoholic and rock that drink for the rest of the night.

A pair of this week’s hottest new singles ‘Shake It Off’ Grade: A
DAVID BLOOMER | WEINSTEIN COMPANY
Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges star in “The Giver.�
‘The Giver’ doesn’t give much at all ‘The Giver’ Grade: CAdapting books into movies is a touchy and difficult process that either works brilliantly or horribly. Sometimes you get 1962’s “To Kill a Mockingbird� where you can practically read the book along with the film and stay on track. And sometimes you get “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief� where it seems like the producers read half of the back cover and then threw away every copy within a 2,000-mile radius thinking amazing effects could make up for the complete desertion of accuracy. “The Giver� was given the same treatment as “Percy Jackson.� “The Giver� is about a
society kept isolated from the real world. In the Community, as it’s called, people have no understanding of emotions, pain, color or music. They do not remember the world before the Community was created. They don’t know of war, death, sex or snow. All except for one person. The Receiver of Memory is the one person in the Community who retains memories of the real world in order to advise the Elders. Jonas, played by Brenton Thwaites, is a graduate selected as the Receiver of Memory and begins working with the man who becomes known as the Giver, portrayed by Jeff Bridges. As Jonas learns of the beauty and pain of the real world, he begins to disagree with the ways of the Community and sets out to
free them. As a book-to-movie adaptation, the film is a disaster. In the book, Jonas is 12. In the film, Jonas is about 17 years old. Jonas is supposed to have pale eyes, but in the movie almost everyone but Jonas has pale eyes. The biggest inaccuracy is the ending. In the book, Jonas plots his escape with the Giver, but in the movie, it’s spontaneous and met with unnecessary complications. As a film, separate from the novel, it’s still a mess. Jonas’ progress in receiving memories is sped up and softened through a cheap montage. There isn’t enough time for the tension and stress of becoming the Receiver of Memory to build. You’re gently tapped with conflict close to the end. Then
it’s strung out to the point that you don’t care anymore, and you’re just waiting for someone to die so you can leave. The production of the film is its only saving grace. The first quarter of the movie is shot in black and white to represent the Community’s vision and gradually gains color as Jonas gains more memories. They paid painfully close attention to visual detail. Every shot was well thought-out and executed, and for that I applaud director Phillip Noyce. However, Noyce left much to be desired in the field of storytelling and the concept of “The Giver� is simply too much for 97 minutes on the big screen. It’s better off left between the pages.
Oh, T-Swift. I think I might have fallen in love with you. Taylor Swift released her new single, “Shake It Off,� on Monday, and with that single, she has answered the ageold question, “Is T-Swizz really country?� No. She’s not. Swift has officially crossed the line completely from the dark and into the light. She’s a bonafide pop star. “Shake It Off � is airheaded and simple, and it has almost no lyrical depth. That doesn’t stop me from calling it one of the best songs of the year. “Shake It Off � is infectiously fun, bubbly and it’s almost impossible to listen to the song without a giant grin on your face. This is the song we’re all going to be dancing to at approximately 100 percent of all house parties this semester. I normally don’t watch music videos — I don’t really see their point — but I’d heard some good things about this one, so I watched it, and it made me love Swift even more. In it, she dances with a variety of professional dance groups, from ballerinas to cheerleaders, with an embraced awkwardness, climaxing in shots of random people dancing. The song’s message, while not wildly philosophical, is one I can get behind: don’t worry about what other people think of you, just “do you.� I just wish this song had been released a couple of months earlier so we could always remember it as the song of summer 2014. Keep it up, Taylor. This is you at your finest.
‘Break the Rules’ Grade: CI really wanted to love Charli XCX’s new single released Monday, “Break the Rules.� This album being her debut, there are a lot of expectations riding on it, considering her massive success in the past. Remember Icona Pop’s “I Love It,� the single best jam of Little 500 week 2013? Thank Charli XCX. Or Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy?� Charli XCX again. She’s really a superstar. She lays down some absolutely killer pop hooks. Sadly, I don’t know if she can do much more than just the hooks, though. “Break the Rules� is by no means terrible, it’s just kind of ... there. It’s not that fun to listen to, the lyrics are stupid and cheesy (and not in a hip, ironic way), and it’s not nearly as explosive as her other features. The tone of the song isn’t as fun or party-inciting as her other pieces, and “Break the Rules,� ironically, tends to break no rules whatsoever. In fact, it’s about as textbook as it can get. The song’s EDM-wannabe melodic instrumental hook isn’t catchy. The purpose is defeated. I know I’m beating up on “Break the Rules� hard, but that’s just because I’ve loved what Charli’s done in the past so very much. “I Love It� is still one of my go-to songs for having a good time, and that song technically came out in 2012. I’m still rooting for this album, Charli XCX. Please don’t disappoint. Ike Hajinazarian

LGBT history added to the Smithsonian

EDITORS: ALISON GRAHAM & AUDREY PERKINS | ARTS@IDSNEWS.COM
The Smithsonian Institution added hundreds of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender photographs, papers and historical objects to its collection Tuesday. Many artifacts came from TV show “Will and Grace” and were donated by the

MY LIFE IN RWANDA
Prepping for Rwanda Almost all students start their first year of college stocked with everything they could possibly need. Band-aids, toothpaste, dental floss, granola bars, cold medicine, loose-leaf paper, etc. Move-in day is full of over-prepared freshmen and their anxious parents making last minute trips to Wal-Mart for socks or an extra toothbrush. There’s a similar feeling of panic when you study abroad. For me, though, I will be in Kigali, Rwanda. So the fear I won’t find the toiletries I am so accustomed to in the States is slightly more real. Although Rwanda is more progressive than people assume, there are obviously differences in culture and lifestyle, like any foreign country. And not only is Rwanda in a completely different part of the world — a part typically ambiguous to American students — it is also recovering from a violent, horrific genocide 20 years ago. The 1994 Rwandan genocide marked the worst mass killing since the Holocaust, with almost one million lives lost in a short period of time. And yet, surprisingly, many Americans know little about it, a direct result of Western indifference to African politics and an inability to see our African neighbors as equals. Studying the causes and after-effects of the genocide is the focus of my program. Yet despite its grisly past and lack of support from the international community, Rwanda has made incredible advancements in the past 20 years. Today, it is known for its beautiful scenery and is considered to have the cleanest cities in Africa. As much as the academic matter interests me, I am equally excited to explore what is known as the “land of a thousand hills.”
CAROLINE ELLERT is a junior in political science and English.
And, of course, Rwandan tea and coffee. And so I am packing for both an enriching academic experience and a slightly touristy one, the dynamic combination of study abroad. One item of note I cannot bring with me is plastic bags. They have been illegal since 2008, when concern for their environmental effect overrode their necessity. The fact that no Rwandan receives their groceries in a plastic bag may be strange to Americans. But it has contributed to Rwanda’s extreme cleanliness. A worthy trade, I would say. Another thing I won’t bring are the ripped jeans and shorts so common in my American wardrobe. As it turns out, America seems to remain the only country where it is acceptable to go out in public in sweatpants. On college campuses, it’s downright expected. Not in Rwanda. The most important thing I’ve realized as I’ve packed for Rwanda is how we tend to hold on to one perception of a certain part of the world. Here, we typically only see Africa as that place Americans go on mission trips and not as a place where people actually live and work. Throughout our lives, we change our perspectives on so many things. How we stereotype our international neighbors, though, often does not change. At least, not without proper education. And, of course, study abroad. Right now, I have the precollege jitters. I’m packing and stocking up on supplies. It’s like I’m a freshman all over again. Only this time, I think I’m going to have a much bigger adventure.

‘Mass Appeal’ revision play to open this weekend From IDS Reports
The Buskirk-Chumley Theater and Ivy Tech Community College are bringing the 1981 play “Mass Appeal” to Bloomington this weekend. The comedy tells the story of Father Farley, a pastor at a wealthy church. In the beginning of the play, young seminary student Mark Dolson comes to his church and questions the pastor during one of his sermons. After the confrontation, Farley is intrigued and asks for the student to be assigned to his church. Farley, who is a traditional pastor, is constantly chal-
lenged by Dolson, who is eager to reform the church, each of them teaching the other about priestly duties. This particular production of the play is a revision of the original, directed by Jeffery Allen. John Whikehart plays Father Farley, and Paul Daily plays Mark Dolson. To purchase tickets, visit the Buskirk-Chumley’s website. Tickets are $15 for the general audience and $5 for students and seniors. Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Ivy Tech John Waldron Rose Firebay theater. Alison Graham

The third annual Grant Street Jazz Festival opens 11:30 a.m. Saturday and lasts until 11 p.m. The event is free to all ages and features a variety of jazz musicians at high school, college and professional levels. The first act will feature the Atomic Dog Brass Band as they march via the B-Line trail to the entrance of the festival at Grant and Kirkwood streets and to the main stage. The band will be playing traditional New Orleans jazz as they march, and when they return to the stage at 4 p.m., they will switch to a rhythmand-blues brass show, festival
coordinator John Porter said. “We’re really happy to have them on board,” he said. Porter said he is also looking forward to this year’s headliner, Wayne Wallace. Wallace is a Jacobs faculty member in the jazz studies program. The five-time Grammy-nominated musician will perform with the IU Jazz Faculty Octet and again with a Latin Jazz Octet at the end of the night. “It’s really exciting to have a musician of that professional caliber at our festival,” Porter said. Porter said the main goal of the festival is to both educate and entertain audiences. “We get to reach a de-
mographic that’s not necessarily privy to jazz,” he said. “They can get a free sampling of what the Bloomington jazz community has to offer. There’s nothing to lose by walking into our festival.” Alison Graham 11:30 a.m.-noon: Atomic Dog Brass Band marches to Grant St. Festival to open 12:05-12:50 p.m.: Craig Brenner 1-1:50 p.m.: Sara’s Swing Set 2-2:50 p.m.: Nate Johnson & the Keepers 3-3:50 p.m.: Danny D’s 8 Feet Deep

EMMY SUPERSTARS
Weekend takes a look at some of the most nominated shows for Monday’s Emmy awards.
By Bronson DeLeon | bdeleon@indiana.edu
“Louie” (FX) Outstanding Comedy, Lead Actor in a Comedy, Casting, Writing and Directing Louis CK’s genre-defying behemoth of a series (for which the comedian individually acts, writes and directs each episode) reached new heights with its latest season. It’s certainly the critics’ favorite going in, but critical darlings rarely win the comedy awards. Expect “Louie” to sweep in the directing/ writing categories, but he could be a dark horse winner in a major category this year as well.
“Modern Family” (ABC) Outstanding Comedy, Supporting Actor (2), Supporting Actress, Guest Actor, Art Direction, Casting, Editing, Sound Mixing and Directing “Modern Family” enters this Emmy race like a teacher’s pet. The series has won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series for the past four years, and every year its ensemble cast fills up the majority of the Supporting Actor/Actress nomination pool. Nevertheless, I think “Modern Family” may finally be knocked off its throne thanks to some stiff competition from a certain Netflix original series. Look for “Modern Family” to take home some acting trophies but ultimately fall short of winning the big one.
“Orange is the New Black” (Netflix) Outstanding Comedy, Lead Actress, Supporting Actress, Guest Actress (3), Casting, Editing (3), Writing and Directing In an interesting move, Netflix opted to submit “Orange is the New Black” as a comedy series rather than a drama. The move paid off — the show scored 12 nominations and has already won a pre-show Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress. If one comedy show is likely to stop the “Modern Family” reign of Emmy dominance, it could be Netflix’s female-prison powerhouse. With so many talented performances and excellent scripts, “Orange is the New Black” is my favorite to win big in this year’s comedy categories.
“Silicon Valley” (HBO) Outstanding Comedy, Main Title Design, Art Direction, Writing and Directing “Silicon Valley,” HBO’s hilarious breakout tech-comedy from the mind of Mike Judge (“Office Space,”“King of the Hill”), is the most surprising contender for the comedy crown. It was nominated after its first season, while veteran shows such as “Parks & Recreation” and “Girls” were dismissed. With no acting nominations on the table, it’s unlikely that “Silicon Valley” will walk away with any wins. If we’re lucky, the fantastic script for the season finale, “Tip-to-Tip Efficiency,” will take home an Emmy for writing the most scientifically researched dick joke ever written.
“Breaking Bad” (AMC) Outstanding Drama, Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Casting, Cinematography, Editing (3), Makeup (2), Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Writing and Directing “Breaking Bad” seems like a clear-cut favorite to repeat its 2013 victory for Outstanding Drama Series. The final episodes of “Breaking Bad” are among the best episodes in TV history, and the Emmys will likely send the show off with a nice parting gift. The acting categories are less of a given, however, as “True Detective” and “House of Cards” present big-name movie stars providing some of the best performances of their careers. It’s a competitive year for a drama series, but “Breaking Bad” would make for a worthy winner.
“Game of Thrones” (HBO) Outstanding Drama, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Guest Actress, Interactive Program, Art Direction, Casting, Cinematography (2), Costumes, Hairstyling, Makeup (2), Music Composition, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Visual Effects, Stunt Coordination, Writing and Directing Arguably TV’s most popular show at the moment, “Game of Thrones” provides the most mature, ruthless fantasy world ever crafted for television. However, the Emmys have rarely recognized it with a major win outside of technical awards, with the exception of Peter Dinklage’s Emmy win following season one. I imagine this year will be no different, with the show taking home bags of Emmys for its impressive technical effects and CGI-rendered battle landscapes but not much else. If only there was an award for Most Devastating Head Annihilation.
“True Detective” (HBO) Outstanding Drama, Lead Actor (2), Art Direction, Casting, Cinematography, Editing, Main Title Design, Music Composition, Writing and Directing In a gutsy move, “True Detective” chose to enter into the drama category for the Emmys rather than the miniseries category, which the show was in initially. It takes some confidence to pit yourself against “Breaking Bad” and “Game of Thrones” when you could take the much easier competition of “Treme” and “Fargo.” Yet, the HBO-series is already a favorite for the Lead Actor Emmy thanks to McConaughey’s go-forbroke performance. His star power, matched with the series’ philosophical dialogue and memorable camera work, makes it the stiffest competition in the drama categories.
“House of Cards” (Netflix) Outstanding Drama, Lead Actor, Lead Actress, Guest Actor, Guest Actress, Art Direction, Casting, Cinematography, Editing, Music Composition, Sound Mixing, Writing and Directing “House of Cards,” Netflix’s first step into original programming, made history last year by becoming the first online-only television program to be nominated for an Emmy. This year, the political drama returns with 12 nominations, spearheaded by Spacey’s and Wright’s sinister performances. It’s the perfect Emmy bait, but this year’s stiff competition has me thinking that its best shot is with Wright for Lead Actress.
“Mad Men” (AMC) Outstanding Drama, Lead Actor, Supporting Actress, Guest Actor, Art Direction, Costumes, Hairstyling and Makeup “Mad Men” was an award-winning institution in its early days, winning the Outstanding Drama Emmy for the first four seasons of the show. However, just like Don Draper, the lead character in the series’ 1960s advertising world, the show’s Emmy chances have been slowly circling the drain. The lack of writing or directing nominations is a shock for a show so driven by its visual aesthetic and quick dialogue. It’s looking like “Mad Men” will walk home empty-handed again this year, but fingers crossed for its chances next year after the series airs its final episodes.
“Fargo” (FX) Outstanding Miniseries, Lead Actor (2), Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Casting, Cinematography (2), Editing (3), Makeup, Music Composition, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Writing and Directing (2) Turning a well-known movie into a TV series almost never works, but somehow FX’s Coen Brothers send-up is as hilariously dark and suspenseful as the 1996 film of which it is based. Other miniseries such as “American Horror Story: Coven,”“Luther” and “Treme” could provide a close contest, but “Fargo” should have no problem winning due to its unrivaled cinematography and demented performance from Billy Bob Thornton.
