Sexual assault reported at fraternity From IDS reports

IU Health Bloomington Hospital reported a sexual assault to the IU Police Department on Saturday after treating a woman who had been at the Delta Chi fraternity house.

The woman, whose concerned friends brought her to the hospital, had no visible injuries, IUPD Capt.

Andy Stephenson said. She told hospital staff she had been sexually assaulted, so the hospital called IUPD. The alleged assault involved a man and a woman and occurred between 3:30 and 7:45 p.m. Feb. 10 at Delta Chi, Stephenson said. Drugs and alcohol were involved. The victim felt even though there was some consensual contact, it went too far without her consent, Stephenson said. However, after speaking with IUPD, the woman did not want to press charges or have an investigation take place.

IUPD identified and talked with the man and will respect the wishes of the woman in not pursuing an investigation.

“There’s no ongoing threat to the community,” Stephenson said.

Untested pitchers to lead way in 2017 season

By Spencer Davis spjdavis@umail.iu.edu | @spencer_davis16

Three 2016 Hoosier starting pitchers are currently chasing their MLB dreams, which has left a large void in the 2017 squad.

IU Coach Chris Lemonis is set to use a bevvy of young talent to replace pitchers Caleb Baragar, Jake Kelzer and Kyle Hart, all of whom were drafted by the 19th round of the 2016 MLB Draft.

The third-year head coach announced the team’s starting rotation Monday, and it is headlined by three underclassmen. Sophomore Jonathan Stiever will get the first start. He will be followed by sophomore Tim Herrin, freshman Andrew Saalfrank and junior Brian Hobbie.

“We kind of have two different teams in some ways,” Lemonis said. “We have a great, older, mature lineup that a lot of our fans and media will know about, and then we have a very young but talented pitching staff. We’re excited about our young arms.”

Lemonis said he is pleased with the progression of Stiever, who added a better breaking ball during the offseason.

Stiever began developing his third pitch in the summer, and Lemonis said the sophomore perfected it during the fall.

“I think the breaking ball has really made a big difference for him to this point,” Lemonis said. “He’s very steady, and he just shows up and goes about his business. He’s a good command guy that gets after it.”

Lemonis said he believes the challenge of replicating last year’s starting pitching production will be difficult, but not impossible. He said the fight for the starting spots SEE PITCHERS, PAGE 5

The show began with a dancing deer, a talent scout and a spoken-word poem about the dangers of college students. Performers then broke out into song about an interspecies love affair between a frog and mouse.

The performance was part of “Love Songs for a Lasting World” on Monday at Buskirk-Chumley Theater. The event involved music, short skits and dance and supported the Middle Way House.

Donna Storm, Middle Way House triage specialist, said the focus of the event was love that goes beyond the romantic love that many focus on around Valentine’s Day. “The event is about love for your friends and family and

Storm said. In doing so, it pushes domestic violence into the forefront of the community’s attention and prevents victims from feeling invisible.

Attendee Alan Backler said this mission of empathy for victims of violence is what attracted him to attend the event.

“We always have to support organizations in our community that stress compassion for all of its members,” he said. “That’s our responsibility to serve these people.”

Backler said the event not only emphasizes love for those in need but also the unconditional love of parents.

“The song ‘Unconditional Love’ really stood out to me because it speaks to that love between a parent and a child that often gets overlooked by those who

immediately think of romantic love,” Backler said.

Middle Way House volunteer Christopher De Young said his favorite part of the event was the music. While he enjoyed the songs related to unconditional love, the songs he said stood out to him most were those related to a love for the environment.

“There’s this environmental message in a lot of the songs that I think is very important in this day and age,” De Young said. “A love for the environment is important, but not many people really think about it.”

De Young said the event’s overall message of love is vital to communities, especially today.

“It shows that love conquers hate, and we’re living in an environment where it’s easy to forget that,” he said.

Naloxone stops overdose deaths

By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

When a wave of heroin overdoses shook Bloomington last week, it had one hopeful footnote: no reported deaths.

A decade ago, a spike in overdoses like this one — BPD responded to nine overdoses in a three-day span — would have left fatalities in its wake, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said.

The difference has nothing to do with the heroin.

Police still don’t know what about the drug caused the overdose cluster, Kellams said. What has changed is the availability of naloxone, the drug used to combat overdoses of heroin and other opioids.

“There is no doubt this would have been a lot worse without this life-saving tool out there,” Kellams said.

Naloxone, a drug that counters opioid overdoses by blocking certain brain and nervous receptors, wasn’t widely available in Indiana even a few years ago.

Storm said this message fits along well with the mission of Middle Way House, which serves as a domestic violence shelter and sexual assault crisis center.

“Middle Way House is all about love and compassion and empathy,” she said. “It’s a celebration of love and community.”

Middle Way House volunteer Abby Mencl said the songs performed during the event are directly related to the people the Middle Way House is trying to serve.

“All those songs of love, I think, are meant to go out to those victims of sexual assault,” Mencl said. “It’s this whole message of love or people who need it most.”

The benefit event was an opportunity to raise awareness for the efforts of Middle Way House,

loosened restrictions on overdose intervention drugs and allowed loved ones of drug users to carry naloxone. Last July, a statewide standing order from state health commissioner Jerome Adams allowed various entities, including pharmacies, nonprofits and health departments, to distribute the drug.

Now, Indiana has hundreds of registered naloxone entities.

Seventeen of those are in or near Bloomington, including one on campus, according to the state health department’s map of entities, and the local harm reduction project Indiana Recovery Alliance distributes naloxone as well.

According to a press release sent out in the midst of the overdose spike, the project has distributed more than 5,000 doses of naloxone throughout Indiana since September 2015, and it has received reports of 500 overdose reversals associated with that distribution.

“Kind of the problem is there aren’t on-demand treatment options available right now,” IRA Director Chris Abert said. “Often times, people will just say, ‘Don’t

Senate committee hears forest bill testimony

By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu @achryssovergis

At the center of a sweaty and steamy room packed with many more people than it was built for, Chris Marks, an Indiana Forest Alliance member, held up a slice of pound cake.

That slice represents the very small amount — just 10 percent — of state forest land that activists are asking the legislature to protect, she said.

She held up the rest of the pound cake for comparison.

“This is the remainder of the state forest that would still be available for logging,” she said.

After she finished speaking, the room applauded, though they’d been warned by the committee chair not to do so. This crowd wouldn’t easily be tamed.

The small room was packed with upwards of 60 people. The crowd, which spilled out into the hallway, was at times rowdy. The door to the hearing room was left open to allow flow in and out.

Marks’ testimony was one of the first of a two-hour-long Natural Resources Committee hearing on Senate Bill 420, which would designate 10 percent of each state forest as “old forest area,” protected from logging. The bill’s author, Sen. Eric Bassler, R-Washington, made clear this bill would not affect recreation, including fishing, hunting and hiking, in any state land that may be designated old forest areas by the bill.

Committee Chair Sen. Susan Glick, R-LaGrange kept a tight reign on the crowd whenever things seemed to be riling up. She limited testimony to 45 minutes for both the opposition and the support and strictly maintained time limits. The hearing,

which was testimony-only, ended shortly after noon, though many stayed after and filled the Statehouse halls. About 30 in support and 20 opposed to the bill didn’t get a chance to testify, and Glick read their names off when time had run out for each side.

The issue is an especially hot one right now because forest activists have complained in recent years about the Indiana Department of Natural Resources’ uptick in logging across state forest lands.

From 2001 to 2015, the money loggers have paid for trees at DNR sales has increased fivefold, and the number of trees sold almost sixfold.

Those in support of DNR management say this increase in logging is merely a return to the numbers of trees that were logged in past decades. They say the forest must be managed in order to be healthy.

Forest preservation activists, on the other hand, claim the forest is best left alone and the uptick is due to a change of forest management under former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. They say he demanded state agencies become self-sufficient, thus forcing the DNR to cut down more trees for funding.

Bassler touched on this idea when speaking about his bill and said if he were in the DNR, he’d probably want to increase logging, too.

“I’m also sympathetic to the position that we as a state have put the DNR in,” Bassler said. “They have an incentive to do what? To cut down trees.”

Activists passed out stickers for the Indiana Forest Alliance, a forest preservation advocacy group. The stickers said “I heart Indiana Forests,” on them with the shape of the heart created by two leaves.

Jeff Stant, executive director of the Indiana Forest Alliance, holds up posters depicting clearcuts. Stant testified in support of Senate Bill 420 at the Monday morning hearing.

Supporters of the bill covered a wide range of reasons why the legislation is important. Some said old forests are rare in Indiana. Others mentioned that leaving the forest to cycle through life on its own time creates habitat in which certain species thrive. They pleaded with the listening senators, whom they faced during testimony, to allow Indiana forests to grow old and tree trunks to grow wide. Many said while the bill does not protect as much land as they’d want, it’s definitely a positive start.

Todd Stewart, an IFA board member and avid hiker, and Jeff Stant, IFA executive director, delivered an emotional and compelling testimony together. The testimony involved holding up poster-sized pictures of clearcuts from Indiana state

Michael Flynn resigns, Trump meets with Trudeau

By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman

National Security Adviser Michael Flynn resigned, President Trump and his daughter, Ivanka Trump, met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and the Senate confirmed Steve Mnuchin as treasury secretary yesterday. Here is a rundown of what happened and why it matters.

Michael Flynn resigns Flynn, who had been in his new job for less than a month, resigned Monday night after it was revealed he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States, according to the New York Times.

In his resignation letter Flynn said he had “sincerely apologized to the President and the Vice President.” The White House said in a statement that it was replacing Flynn with retired Lt. General Joseph Keith Kellogg Jr., a Vietnam War veteran, according to the Times.

Washington, D.C. — President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau participate in a joint news conference Feb. 13 in the East Room of the White House.

White House yesterday to meet with Trump, Ivanka Trump and other politicians.

Though the two leaders have differing opinions on refugees, Trump nevertheless defended the travel ban. The United States “cannot let the wrong people in,” Trump said. He added that the executive order, now stalled in court, is “common sense.”

Trudeau made it clear he did not come to the U.S. to lecture the president on his policies.

“There have been times where we have differed in our approaches and that has always been done firmly and respectfully,” Trudeau said.

“The last thing Canadians expect is for me to come down and lecture another country on how they choose to govern themselves.”

In reference to Trump’s promise to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, he said he and Trudeau would be “tweaking” their trade relationship.

However, Trump emphasized the U.S.’s problems with the free trade deal were centered around Mexico.

Steven Mnuchin confirmed as treasury secretary The Washington Post reported the Senate confirmed Mnuchin in a 5347 vote Monday night and added another ex-banker to Trump’s advisers. During the confirmation, Democrats raised concerns about Mnuchin’s involvement in foreclosures during the financial crisis while head of the bank OneWest, according to the Washington Post.

Lead contamination found in soil on unused land on North Monroe Street From IDS Reports

Soil tested at the site of a former City of Bloomington Utilities water tank was recently discovered to have lead presence above Indiana Department of Environmental Management standards.

The unused Dyer tank, which operated from 1954 to 2015 at 1008 N Monroe St., was coated in lead paint. The soil contamination is likely

a result of runoff from sandblasting paint off the tank when preparing for repainting, according to a release from the city.

The area is fenced and currently unused. The contaminated soil is not dangerous if left undisturbed. Residents of adjacent properties can anticipate additional soil sampling in the area and any necessary remediation, at the expense of CBU, according to the release.

CBU owns and maintains four other water tanks that were constructed before lead paint was banned in 1978.

The areas of these tanks will be tested for contamination.

Those tanks are located on Loesch Road; on S.R. 446; at 17th and S.R. 45/46 bypass; and adjacent to the CBU Service Center at Henderson and Miller Drive.

forests.

A clearcut is when a logger cuts down all trees in a designated area regardless of age or size rather than picking which ones to fell.

“I want to show there are impacts of the out-of-control logging that goes on today,” Stewart said as Stant held up the pictures to show the senators and the listening audience.

Stant said this bill would merely keep Indiana in compliance with what state auditors already recommend as part of green certification requirements.

“The biggest trees are all down,” he said.

Several of those who testified in support of the bill made sure to emphasize their knowledge in the area — many were experts in ecology or biology, some

with doctorate degrees. One area of contention between the two groups who disagree on this issue is in the area of expertise; conservationists, or those who support and believe in DNR forest management, believe activists should not interfere in the realm of foresters, whom they believe to be experts.

Activists take offense to this argument and say they are educated and informed, too.

Ray Moistner from the Indiana Hardwood Lumbermen’s Association emphasized his view that foresters and loggers aren’t evil; rather, they are just doing a necessary job.

“The loggers we know are not the villains portrayed by the activists,” Moistner said.

“We believe the management of the state forests is a necessity not an option.”

Testimony from Moistner and DNR employees, including Jack Seifert, director of the Indiana DNR Division of Forestry, was marred by scoffing, laughter, and even booing.

In one heated moment, Sen. Frank Mrvan, D-Hammond, asked a DNR employee if loggers, by leaving behind messes and stumps in the state forests, are being responsible stewards of the state.

“The land belongs to the state,” Mrvan said forcefully, and thunderous applause erupted.

Pandemonium ensued for a few brief seconds before Glick was able to re-establish order.

“It’s not owned by the DNR exclusively,” someone shouted from the crowd. “It’s owned by the people.”

Ex-CEO gets 33 months for defrauding company

By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu @ttelford1883

A former CEO of a power company based in Avon, IN will serve federal prison time for passing off nearly $600,000 in personal expenses as business purchases.

Donnis Mizelle, 56, was sentenced Friday to 33 months’ imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to one felony count of wire fraud.

For 6 years, Mizelle fudged his expense reports to cover personal purchases, some of which he felt entitled to due to his position with the company, according to court documents.

Mizelle was the CEO of Hendricks Power Cooperative, which brings electricity to more than 30,000 residents in rural Hendricks County. He had been CEO since 2003, and his salary was about $300,000, according to court documents.

Because the company is a cooperative, it is effectively owned by the residents it serves. With his falsified expense reports, Mizelle was stealing from the pockets of his customers.

“We place a tremendous amount of trust and responsibility in our business leaders, particularly our CEOs,” United States attorney Josh Minkler said in a press release. “Exploiting that trust for purely personal gain causes more than financial harm. It devastates employee morale, shakes the con-

fidence of customers, and contributes to a belief that the system is rigged in favor of those at the top.”

The purchases Mizelle charged to the company ranged from everyday items — pizzas for his family, Mother’s Day brunch, groceries, wine and clothing — to the more lavish — jewelry, vacations to Universal Studios in Florida, trips to Europe, iPhones and iPads.

Court documents detail the ways Mizelle tried to write off his purchases.

On April 30, 2009, Mizelle turned in an expense report for $654.10 for “business expenses for entertainment” at an Indianapolis Indians game. Investigators later discovered the expense went to a black sapphire bracelet and a Montblanc pen from a local jewelry store.

Other expenses include $1,772.40 on January 31, 2013, that Mizelle said went to flights for him and directors of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. The money was actually spent on plane tickets for him, his son and wife for a Florida vacation.

The same report included expenses that went toward a room at a Universal Studios hotel.

“Donnis Mizelle was a foolish and shortsighted employee of (Hendricks Power Cooperative) who let himself believe he was entitled to more than his fair share and his legitimate salary,” Mizelle’s attorney,

John Tompkins , wrote in a sentencing memo. “He was misguided by his own skewed perception of his contribution to the high level of performance of the organization he was leading.”

Although Mizelle acknowledges some of his purchases were unacceptable, in many claims he thought his actions were justified because he “piggybacked family expenses” onto legitimate travel that benefitted the company, even though he overstated his expenses.

Beyond his financial indiscretions, Mizelle had no criminal history. Court documents from his attorney describe him as a good man — a dedicated husband and father and frequent community volunteer who worked with organizations such as Boy Scouts of America, the YMCA and the Avon Education Foundation.

His contributions to the community do not outweigh his crimes in the eyes of prosecutors.

“Despite his appearance of success and prominence in his community ... he was stealing from his neighbors,” prosecutors wrote in court documents.

As part of his plea agreement, Mizelle will have to pay full restitution for the expenses he defrauded from the company. He had already paid back $300,000 before his sentencing. He will also serve one year of supervised release after his prison sentence.

I-69 expansion deadline pushed back From IDS Reports

The Indiana Finance Authority and Indiana Department of Transportation announced Monday the date for finishing the I-69 expansion running along the west side of the city up to Martinsville has been pushed back.

The 21-mile-long section

will be under construction until May 2018. It was expected to be completed by October 2017.

Mayor John Hamilton said in a release Monday he hopes this is the last set of pushbacks on the project.

“Another delay means for us another winter and spring of difficult travel, lost productivity and danger,”

he said. “I hope this will be the last of these announcements we receive.”

Hamilton said he received the news from Gov. Eric Holcomb and hopes the state instates specific accountability and assurance mechanisms if the project falls further behind.

was competitive and added that he considers six Hoosier pitchers to be starters.

“Experience is hard to replace sometimes, but at some point Kyle Hart was young,” Lemonis said.

“That’s the biggest side for us. A lot of our youth is in sophomores.”

Lemonis is left with a lot of options to fill the back end of his bullpen and said he expects senior Luke Stephenson, junior B.J. Sabol and sophomore Pauly Milto to be key players in their late game roles.

Senior outfielder Craig Dedelow said he has been impressed with the young pitching staff thus far and sees similar skills between them and last year’s staff.

“After losing a lot of the veteran guys that I have been with for the past three years leading up to this year, you’re seeing a lot of the same qualities that the Kelzers and Harts had,” Dedelow said of IU’s young arms.

“Just a lot of composure and confidence in their stuff, and I think that’s only going to grow as the year goes on.”

As is the case with all young teams, Lemonis said he will be looking for improvement from game to game.

Lemonis said he trusts that playing good teams on the road and starting strong will be key as the season continues and the conference schedule gets underway.

progressing, that we are developing, that we are getting better,” Lemonis said.

“We want our wins but we are getting better as we play.

That’s always going to be a challenge when you have to

go on the road for the first few weeks.”

In January, the Big Ten said Bloomington will be host to the 2017 Big Ten Tournament. The familiarity with the stadium and field

could help IU’s relatively inexperienced pitching staff as it plays in the conference tournament.

Lemonis said he is excited to show off the facility, the city and the IU baseball

fan base to the rest of the Big Ten. “I don’t know if people realize how much it says about our administration, our facility and the city as it’s voted on by

coaches around the league,” Lemonis said. “I hear from other coaches that they enjoy coming to Bloomington and playing. The environment is a great college baseball environment.”

IU received the naloxone kits last year via a grant and has distributed a few since.

Though heroin is a less visible issue on campus than in the rest of Bloomington, Daniels said the kits could still prove useful in medical emergencies involving combinations of prescription opioids and alcohol, a more likely scenario among students.

At any rate, she said, most students who have taken kits did so after

hearing about them at OASIS events, and they’ve taken them not because they’re actively using opioids but because they want to be prepared in emergency situations.

“To me, drug overdose, alcohol poisoning and drug addiction are public health issues, and just like we’d have auto defibrillators in the SRSC for an emergency, it may never be used, but to have it on hand is good practice,” she said.

The Monroe County Health Department, another registered naloxone entity, distributes naloxone to both individuals and other resources. Kathy Hewett, the department’s lead health educator, said its supply is funded by a state grant.

People can pick up the drug from the health department after going through a brief training session, which Hewett said usually lasts about 10

minutes. The department also distributes naloxone to BPD and Positive Link, IU Health Bloomington Hospital’s HIV and AIDS outreach program.

All of BPD’s officers are trained to use the drug, and all 68 of its patrol officers carry it, Kellams said.

He advised against seeing naloxone as a solution to even a single overdose, though. Its effects can wear off while the recipient still has overdose levels of

heroin in their body, which means they could overdose for a second time.

Because of that, bystanders who apply naloxone should still call emergency services.

Still, Kellams said, the drug’s availability has improved BPD officers’ ability to combat at least one aspect of the opioid epidemic.

“It’s a service that is nice for officers to have,” he said.

“Life saving is one of our key components.”

EDITORIAL BOARD

BLABBERMOUTH

Award shows should not be relevant to us We’re in the thick of award season, with the Golden Globes behind us and the Oscars fast approaching.

Just this past Sunday the Grammys aired on CBS, and the music industry’s highest honors were awarded to various glittering celebrities.

I used to love award season. I was enchanted by the performances, the finery, and the dances of beautiful people posing and posturing on the stages.

I would spend hours in front of the television, flip back and forth between various coverages of the red carpet and make sure to record them all for later review.

Award season was my Super Bowl, except my game day came four times a year — once for the Golden Globes, the Grammys, the Tonys, and finally the Oscars.

As a young person, I could accept that those who receive artistic awards unequivocally deserve them.

To question the mysterious “academy” that all artists appeared to be servants to in one form or another would be to question the very meaning of art. I accepted that the Academy had a monopoly on what art was.

However, as I’ve gotten older, the questioning of art has become infinitely more attractive. The notion of what art is and, for that matter, what makes a specific piece or art good consistently baffles me.

Art is so subjective in its meaning and its power that I become immediately suspicious of anyone willing to pass judgement on whether one work is better or worse than another.

That judgement is award shows in a nutshell.

They’re a parade of few chosen works of art in various forms, selected by a secretive academy of bougie voters who crown the best based on unknown criteria.

With all its mysterious pomp and faux traditional circumstance, award season is the celebrity equivalent of running for prom court.

Award season is all glitz and glamor and very litttle substance.

BECCA DAGUE is a senior in english.

Certainly, the awards are equally meaningless. We should not care what the Academy thinks.

It seems I’m not the only one who thinks so.

Lately, even the artists are rebelling against the selection academies.

In her acceptance speech for Album of the Year at this Sunday’s Grammys, Adele openly disagreed with her win. She said: “I can’t possibly accept this award, and I’m very humbled and I’m very grateful and gracious but my artist of my life is Beyoncé.”

Adele herself refused to accept what the “academy” thought was the best album, even when she was the main beneficiary of their mystical selection process.

Beyoncé had also been nominated for Album of the Year, and whether or not the award ended up in the right hands has already become a source of contention online.

Essentially, any artistic award is a crapshoot — a popularity contest based more on the preferences of faceless Hollywood insiders than some objective merit.

That’s not to say that artists don’t deserve awards.

Artists are incredibly important contributors to culture and the world at large, but to begin to qualify music, film or performance by an arbitrary scale of “good” versus “bad” is to defy the very essence of art.

After all, there is no scale with which to measure whether a person has conveyed their emotions accurately or captured a moment in the correct way.

Art is the pursuit of different viewpoints, and to say that one emotional viewpoint is better than another is ridiculous.

Despite all their ceremony, the artistic awards — Grammys, Oscars, Golden Globes, Tonys, Emmys, pick your favorite gold-painted piece of tin — should be completely irrelevant.

A townhall to get behind Cruz v. Sanders debate shows civil discourse is still possible One in three Americans either believe the Affordable Care Act and “Obamacare” are different policies or don’t know what either of them is.

We can only get good policies when our electorate is engaged and informed about the important issues of the day.

Last week, CNN was host to a town hall debate on the future of President Barack Obama’s health care law between Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, and Ted Cruz, R-Texas. Sanders and Cruz were the runners up for the Democratic and Republican nominations for president in last year’s election.

There should be more events like this town hall, and more Americans should tune into them. These two legislators have very different views on how the American health care system should run, to put it mildly.

rjdague@indiana.edu

Sanders largely argued for a single-payer, Medicare-forall type of system, while Cruz argued that a free market approach to health care would make it more affordable for all. Sanders used a more emotional appeal to the audience by citing the number of people “Obamacare” had helped and the number of Americans still living in poverty.

Cruz often used a more logical approach and compared the U.S. health care system to the systems in the United Kingdom and Canada.

The senators took questions from voters who expressed their frustrations with “Obamacare” and their fears about its repeal. These people ranged from a working mother who was pregnant with her second child, to a small business owner who was unable to purchase health care for herself or her employees.

Both senators answered all

of the questions relatively well and stuck almost exclusively to the issues at hand.

There were no personal attacks exchanged, and at times the tone of the debate was light-hearted.

Moderators Dana Bash and Jake Tapper allowed the two debaters to have a freeflowing discussion and did not intervene very often.

After a particularly divisive and bruising presidential campaign, debates like this show that we are still capable of disagreeing politely and with substance.

The event felt like a discussion about the future of our country and what kind of a country we want to live in and was free of references to the president’s latest tweets and senators using Senate rules to silence one another, but it was also informative and entertaining.

Sanders, Cruz and CNN

should be congratulated on this event, which was not only a success in the ratings but also sparked a civilized dialogue about health care in an otherwise hyper-partisan society.We would like to see debates over climate change and energy policy, as well as discussions on debt reduction and education, as these are issues that are especially important to millennial voters.

The moderators even joked during the debate that they would have the senators back to talk about tax reform, and that is a great idea.

With a more civilized tone in debate, and by sticking to the issues Sanders and Cruz showed us we can have a better style of politics than what we have been getting, and we should demand that from all of our leaders. Only through civility and engagement can we come together and create a better political environment.

ON YOUR MIND

Don’t be bitter on Valentine’s day

The power of numbers in culture

At risk of sounding like a hippy dippy flower child, I’d like to say that I think we should take the time today to appreciate the love in our lives in all the different forms it takes.

Yes, of course, I am talking about this upcoming holiday we all love to hate; Valentine’s day. Valentine’s day can be a polarizing holiday. It elicits strong reactions from people, who either seem to love it or loathe it.Scores of movies are dedicated to that polarization. Just look at “Valentine’s Day” (2010), which gives a voice to people celebrating the holiday with their beloved and those who feel cynical and embittered by their romantic pursuits.

Sure, Valentine’s day can be a sharp reminder of love lost, of hearts spurned, of feelings unrequited, but it can also be a celebration of love, and that extends beyond the romantic sphere.

We should all adopt this attitude in our lives. It’s silly to act like couples have a

monopoly on enjoying Feb. 14.

A quintessential example of this is the episode “Galentine’s Day” from the NBC hit “Parks and Recreation.” In it, Leslie Knope, the main character of the show, spends the day before Valentine’s Day, known as Galentine’s Day, with all of her girlfriends to celebrate their friendship and the love they have for one another.As Leslie explains it, Galentine’s Day is when “my lady friends and I leave our husbands and boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies.”

I, for one, am thoroughly planning on sending a photo of Ballantine Hall with the caption “Happy Ballantine’s Day!” to all of my friends. I’m also setting aside some time to eat way too many Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts, and, of course, I’m going to delight in all of the cheesy and punfilled Comic Sans valentines that will inevitably circulate the internet Valentine’s day .

ANNA GROOVER is a freshman in English.

If you’re in a relationship and are looking forward to celebrating the holiday with your significant other, that’s cool. Rock on. Go you.

Maybe consider giving some of the other people in your life some love, too. The nice thing about love is that it’s not like RPS meal points — you can’t use it all up on one thing, like the french fries in the Wells cafeteria.

This Valentine’s day, try to show some love to everyone — your friends, your family, your dog, your cats and any other pets, the girl who holds the door open for you after class, your professors, the guy who rings up your sandwich at lunch, and the person you sit next to every day in calculus but have never said a single word to.

Go ahead and try it. You might end up having a pretty nice day. acgroove@umail.iu.edu

The cultures we experience as we move from one part of our lives to the next have a significant influence on what we believe, how we act and what our priorities are.

Because of this, the cultures we choose to be a part of are very important.

However, the reason people choose the cultures they do may not be based on which cultures they most approve of.

In fact, the most powerful cultures are not usually the most innovative, morally right or the most inclusive. The most powerful cultures are often simply the ones the most people have bought in to.

Think about the culture of sports teams.

The Yankees are by far the most liked, the most well known and make the most money of any team in baseball. They are regarded as the best.

But they are not always the best team. In fact, the last time they won the world series was in 2009, but because their fan base is so large, they are

the most influential baseball team in America.

This shows a definite correlation between the power of a culture and the number of people who have bought in.

This interesting connection may be partially explained by a concept called crowd psychology.

Crowd psychology, explained originally by psychologist Gustave Le Bon in the late 1800s and later by psychologist Stephen Reicher, talks about the phenomenon of crowds and their tendency to act as a single mass rather than a bunch of individuals.

Crowd psychology says people turn off their critical thinking when in large groups of people and follow the decisions and beliefs of the crowd.

It also claims the larger the group of people, the more effective this is.

According to these studies, at some point groups of people stop thinking as several diverse individuals and start operating as a single entity based on the same values and

desires. People submit their indivdual will to the group.

This concept helps explain why the Yankees are so loved, but it also brings light to more serious topics. There is definite power behind groups of people who are operating under the same values, and the implications of crowd psychology within cultures begin to provide evidence for why cultures of ignorance and oppression not only exist but also sometimes dominate.

Cultures in the past and present that operate with hatred, corruption and injustice seem absurd and illogical to those sitting outside them — this holds true on both ends of the political spectrum.

The Holocaust was caused by quite possibly the most toxic and corrupt culture in our history, yet millions of people bought in willingly and very passionately. sbreinoe@umail.iu.edu

Superhero diversity discussed

MAN IN MAASTRICHT

Distance from Super Bowl leads to reflection on sports culture Daniel Kilcullen is a junior in information systems.

LYDIA GERIKE | IDS

Senior Nick Gauss and sophomore Cara Yoder work with their group to draw an ideal superhero. Each person in the group wrote down traits of good heroes before coming together for a final creation.

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfern

With crayons in hand, IU students split up into five groups to draw superheroes. One group drew a blue-eyed white man with large biceps and a hammer and duct tape in his belt.

“He’s very white, described as Dorito-shaped,” one student said.

“He’s very problematic,” another said.

Lloyd Graham, assistant director of diversity initiatives, said superheroes like these were common earlier in history when minorities were largely absent from superhero stories.

Students discussed this lack of representation among racial minorities and women in superhero comics and films Monday during a community dialogue titled “Up, Up, and Away!”

It took place as part of the “China: Remixed” series and was inspired by Gene Yang’s graphic novel “American Born Chinese.”

As movies like “Wonder

Woman” and “Black Panther” prepare to hit movie theaters, the film world has seen some progress toward increased representation, Graham said.

“We are definitely seeing some strong women and minority members coming out as superheroes,” he said. “The tide is changing in some ways.”

However, he said this progress is still limited because of desires to increase box office sales.

Graham said many minority actors and actresses have not had the same opportunities as others have, which means the actors who have risen to prominence are mostly white men.

As a result, when filmmakers cast roles, they may be likely to overlook members of minorities in attempts to bring in a larger audience.

“I think a lot of times what we view as progress is often just an illusion,” Graham said. “As a whole, most superheroes continue to fit a certain mold, and people

try to deny that because of a couple more diverse characters.”

This denial of the problem is why Graham said it is necessary to continue this conversation about the representation of minorities in superhero stories and other entertainment media.

“We have to open up this dialogue and keep talking about it,” Graham said. “We can only change what we are aware and knowledgeable about.”

Graham said this dialogue is especially important when discussing superheroes because of their cultural standing as role models.

“Superheroes are the ones we’ve decided are capable of saving lives and making a difference in our community,” Graham said.

“They’re who we’ve decided to hold up as role models in our communities.”

Sophomore John Chen said as an Asian-American man he never saw himself represented in superhero stories.

“When I was thinking about my favorite superheroes, I realized that none of them were Asian men,” Chen said. “But I feel I can uphold a lot of these ideas of what a superhero should embody.”

Graham said many children who do not see themselves represented are less likely to feel that they can embody the qualities of a superhero.

As a result, he said it is vital to show people, especially children, that minorities are just as capable of serving as role models and heroes as white, straight male superheroes.

This understanding of the capability of minority individuals is vital in the lives and futures of children in minority groups, Graham said.

“When kids see these heroes, it affects what they aspire to be,” Graham said.

“When they see people who look like them, they are more likely to envision themselves playing similar roles. They dream bigger.”

Venues offer Valentine’s Day events

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

From arts to music, from food to drinks, here’s a short list of some of the events in downtown Bloomington this Valentine’s Day.

With multimillion-dollar commercial spots and gallon-sized containers of nacho cheese, Super Bowl Sunday is, to many, the embodiment of American excess.

In the United States, the first Sunday in February has been elevated to nearly holy day status. This year’s event was viewed in 70 percent of American television-owning households, and a petition to make the Monday after the Super Bowl a national holiday has gathered more than 70,000 signatures.

As one would expect, there isn’t much of the same fanfare among Europeans toward what many Americans call the big game.

However, several of my nonAmerican friends in the dormitory expressed interest in the game’s result even if they didn’t care enough to stay up and watch.

Given my 6-hour time difference and lengthy to-do list, I knew I would be forced to miss this year’s Super Bowl. Blasphemous, I know.

Engrossing oneself in the commercials and performances may be an American pastime, but interest in American football seems to be growing, albeit slightly, into a global phenomenon, even as its health and safety risks become subject to more intense scrutiny back home.

Still, while my Facebook and Instagram feeds were abuzz with praise of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and memes ridiculing the Atlanta Falcons’ biblical second-half collapse, the weekend’s soccer matches were a hotter topic of discussion around Maastricht, the Netherlands,

on Monday morning.

The longer I’ve spent in the Netherlands, the more American I’ve felt. Of course, I certainly don’t regret missing out on something as trivial as the Super Bowl, but as the time I’ve spent in Europe approaches four weeks, I’ve begun to notice the absence of things I’ve grown accustomed to quite a bit more.

I’ve realized American culture has trained me to expect things immediately and without delay. In restaurants, I’m used to a waiter swiftly collecting my empty plates and handing me the bill.

Here, everything moves more slowly. No one ever seems to be in a rush, and restaurant patrons flag down their waiter only when they’re ready to leave.

Now that I’ve gotten used to this, I’m a bit embarrassed about the impatience I felt.

I’ve made it a point to try to take my time and not succumb to the number of distractions that surround me.

Although I’ve been able to get along well without much knowledge of the Dutch language, it doesn’t make it any easier to meet and relate to locals. I’m grateful to say I’ve generally been treated very well since I’ve arrived here, but I’ve also encountered people who aren’t quite as genial toward Americans.

The first four weeks of my stay in Maastricht have highlighted some of the subtler differences between Dutch and American culture.

I’ve succeeded in embracing certain things, but there are still things that have yet to stick. Some things may take the entire semester. In the meantime, though, I’ll be working on my ability to talk soccer — er, football.

Then-freshman catcher Ryan Fineman leads off from first base during a game against Ball State in 2016 at Bart Kaufman field. Fineman started 23 Big Ten games last season but has two backups to relieve him in 2017.

IU looks to find relief for sophomore catcher

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@umail.iu.edu @TaylorRLehman

Then-freshman Ryan Fineman played in 23 Big Ten games in 2016, and the catcher started all of them.

That is a large load for any catcher, let alone a Big Ten catcher, and IU Coach Chris Lemonis said he knows that load needs to be reduced in order for Fineman to maximize his performance at the position.

That’s why Lemonis is working sophomore catcher Eric Hansen and freshman catcher Jake Matheny into the

mix as well.

“We feel like we have three really capable catchers there,” Lemonis said. “Eric and Jake have been really good.”

In 2016, Fineman started 50 of IU’s 54 games and was an All-Big Ten Freshman Team selection. After his backup, former Hoosier Demetrius Webb, left the program during the season, Fineman played every inning the rest of the way.

The catcher finished second in the Big Ten in runners caught stealing and allowed the third-fewest stolen bases.

At the plate, Fineman finished top-five on the team in hits,

doubles, home runs and runs batted in.

The season’s statistical success was there for Fineman, but his average dropped considerably throughout the Big Ten schedule at the tail end of a 50-plus-game season.

He entered an early-April series against Purdue with a .315 batting average and ended the regular season in late May with a .268 average. In that stretch, Fineman collected 24 hits in 105 at-bats.

Fineman was a pillar the Hoosiers could lean on as they finished third in the Big Ten, but Lemonis said he plans on using Matheny and

Hansen to relieve Fineman before the pillar crumbles.

Matheny — son of former MLB catcher and current St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny — has come to Bloomington and impressed the coaching staff, Lemonis said.

The freshman from St. Louis was ranked 430th in the nation and 3rd in the state of Missouri, according to Perfect Game USA. He studied Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina before arriving in Bloomington.

Lemonis said Matheny has hit five or six home runs in the last three weekends of

scrimmages. The freshman caught the entire game for the Black team in IU’s last open scrimmage Sunday evening, while Fineman and Hansen split the Red team’s reps.

“Jake’s had a really good spring training,” Lemonis said about Matheny. “He’s had some good swings.”

At 5-foot-9 and 182 pounds, Hansen is the smallest of the three catchers. His one at-bat in 2016 is the extent of his college baseball experience.

However, Hansen was involved in all the drills at practice before Sunday’s scrimmage and helped prepare

IU (0-0) vs. Gonzaga (0-0) 7 p.m., Friday, Arizona pitchers for the game just like the other two catchers.

The Homer Glen, Illinois, native, along with Matheny, will be a significant improvement over lacking a backup catcher entirely, like the Hoosiers did last season.

“We’re still developing defensively all the time, like all of them,” Lemonis said about his catchers. “But we really like our catching position right now. We’ve got three really capable guys.”

ARNETT’S ANGLE

IU softball seeking to build on last season’s winning record in 2017 Softball is officially back.

It started several days ago on Feb. 10, when the Hoosiers played their first game of the season in Tempe, Arizona, against the Fresno State Bulldogs.

The Hoosiers played five games in Tempe, where they have begun every season since 2013, and went 2-3. IU suffered losses against No. 24 Fresno State, No. 18 Utah and Arizona State, while picking up wins over Seattle and St. Mary’s.

The Hoosiers are looking for their second consecutive winning season, a feat they haven’t accomplished since the 2011 and 2012 seasons, when they went 37-18 and 30-25, respectively.

During the 2013-15 seasons, the Hoosiers had their fair share of struggles. During that three-year period IU failed to reach 20 wins in a season and had a combined record of just 53-113.

Last year was different.

The Hoosiers went 29-25, won 10 Big Ten games and seemed to re-establish some program momentum.

However, a lot of work is still left to be done, and it all starts with the play of sophomore Tara Trainer.

Trainer, a right-handed pitcher out of Lebanon, Ohio, was named No. 21 in Fastpitch News’s Preseason Top 50 NCAA Softball Pitchers list in January.

As a freshman, Trainer struck out 183 batters, the 10th most in single-season

history at IU and the most ever for an IU freshman.

She threw a no-hitter in an 8-0 shutout against Evansville in March of 2016 and was named the Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Week three times.

With much anticipation for her sophomore season, she began in mid-season form. Trainer started IU’s first game against Fresno State, and tied her career high with 13 strikeouts. She pitched a complete game in the 2-0 loss and gave up only three hits.

In her start against Saint Mary’s she was even better.

Trainer led IU to a 2-0 victory with a complete game one-hitter.

It’s obvious that the pitching is there, led by Trainer, but the offense is where the Hoosiers need to be better if they want to have the type of success they are hoping for.

In Tempe, they scored more than two runs just once and were shutout twice.

That will be the underlying theme for the Hoosiers all season, whether or not they can hit well enough. In baseball and softball, most argue that pitching wins championships, and with Trainer, sophomore Emily Kirk and freshman pitcher Emily Goodin, the Hoosiers have the pitching that will keep them in games.

From last season the Hoosiers returned all three hitters that batted at least .300. The returning

Elias Arnett is a junior in journalism.

standouts are junior outfielder Rebecca Blitz who hit .350, senior infielder Erin Lehman at .315 and senior designated hitter CaraMia Tsirigos who delivered a .303 mark. Bringing that kind of experience back will be vital for the team this season.

Several other upperclassmen with experience are regulars in the IU lineup, but five newcomers to the team also registered at-bats over the weekend. If the Hoosiers hope for a successful season, they will need contributions from freshmen and transfers to replace the 14 home runs hit by now-graduated seniors last year.

The Hoosiers won’t be in action at Andy Mohr Field anytime soon, with their first home game not coming until March 18.

Their first 25 games of the season will be on the road or at a neutral site, and it will be important for them to get off to a good start. If the Hoosiers want to have a second consecutive winning season, they must improve on the road, where they went 4-12 last season.

This team has the talent to accomplish its goals, but like IU Coach Michelle Gardner said after their first five games, IU must be more aggressive at the plate. eliarnet@indiana.edu @arnett35

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Tournament hopes high for IU Allen, new coach in sync early on

By Josh Eastern jeastern@umail.iu.edu | @JoshEastern

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman

With a win against Northwestern Saturday, IU women’s basketball greatly enhanced its NCAA Tournament résumé.

IU Coach Teri Moren said going into the game that her team needed home wins against quality opponents like Northwestern, and IU got one in dominating fashion.

IU has now won its last two games and has another game with NCAA Tournament implications coming Thursday at home against No. 20 Michigan.

IU can live up to preseason expectations by ending the regular season on a high note.

Currently, the Hoosiers are squarely on the bubble and are listed on the outside looking in of ESPN’s most recent NCAA Tournament predictions. Moren has said with the season winding down things are a bit different in terms of the stakes.

“It’s every day reminding them — and it’s not pressure filled, it’s not that at all – they have to have the urgency to know that we’re playing for something,” Moren said. “Every game going down the stretch matters.”

The Hoosiers find themselves in a spot that gives them a good shot at landing an NCAA Tournament appearance. However, their résumé is a bit of an interesting one. In five games against top 50 RPI teams, IU is winless. Outside

the top 50, the Hoosiers have lost just three games, and they haven’t lost to a team with an RPI higher than 100, so they don’t really have a bad loss.

With an overall record of 17-8 and a 7-5 record in the Big Ten, IU currently sits at No. 44 in the RPI rankings. Moren and many of the seniors have talked about the position they stand in and wanting to leave a mark on IU by getting back to the big dance.

Junior guard Tyra Buss said the team is moving in the right direction and knows what it is playing for.

“We had that win at Rutgers, and we wanted to keep building off that momentum because we are playing for something,” Buss said.

Horoscope

“We have to keep winning to get that NCAA Tournament bid, to get that bye in the Big Ten Tournament, so we are playing for something.”

In the Big Ten, the Hoosiers control their own destiny for a top four seed.

Finishing fourth or higher would greatly benefit IU because each of the top four teams in the conference tournament receive byes through the first two rounds. IU is currently a half game up on Northwestern for fourth place in the Big Ten, and four other teams are within a game of the Hoosiers.

The remaining schedule appears to favor the Hoosiers, who have just four regular season games remaining. IU

When IU Coach Tom Allen called Mike DeBord about taking the vacant offensive coordinator position in January, the new IU offensive coordinator had one request.

Allen needed to hire Nick Sheridan too.

That’s exactly what Allen did Feb. 3 after former IU quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson took Pitt’s offensive coordinator position.

“He was there with me when I was calling the game on game day in a very critical role,” DeBord said of Sheridan’s work at Tennessee. “So he was actually the quarterbacks coach at Tennessee these last two years.”

In the last three years in Knoxville, Tennessee, Sheridan was officially listed as a graduate assistant at Tennessee. DeBord became the offensive coordinator for the Volunteers in 2015, after Sheridan’s first year, and Sheridan began working with former Tennessee quarterback Josh Dobbs.

Sheridan worked the quarterback meetings, game preparation and other responsibilities that come with a quarterbacks coach position, DeBord said.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) —

Publish your comic on this page.

The IDS is accepting applications for student comic strips for the spring 2017 semester.

Email five samples and a brief description of your idea to adviser@indiana.edu by Feb. 23.

Submissions will be reviewed and selections will be made by the editor-in-chief.

SEC selection in 2016 and finished his career 3-0 in bowl games. He also passed for 2,946 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2016 while rushing for 831 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Sheridan will inherit a quarterback room that features junior quarterback Richard Lagow, freshmen Peyton Ramsey and Austin King and incoming freshman and 2017 Florida Mr. Football winner Nick Tronti.

Lagow finished second in the Big Ten in passing yards per game, with 258, fifth in touchdowns, with 19, and sixth in passing efficiency. But after Lagow’s declining production throughout the 2016 season and subsequent loss to Utah in the Foster Farms Bowl, Allen indicated the starting quarterback role is open for competition.

Sheridan said he has met with all of the IU quarterbacks as of Sunday afternoon, and he felt they all want to perform well, which in his opinion is the basis for all improvement as a field general.

When it comes to the quarterback competition, Sheridan said he’s looking for a winner’s mentality, accuracy and mobility.

“We’re looking for a winner,” Sheridan said.

“We’re trying to accumulate a group of guys with a winning mentality.”

IUPD educates grad students

By Cody Thompson Comthomp@umail.iu.edu | @ CodyMThompson

More than a dozen graduate students met Monday evening to learn about procedures in the case of an active shooter.

IU Police Department Lt. Brice Teter led the discussion while Sgt. Brian Oliger observed from the back of the room and occasionally provided comment.

The event was organized by the IU Graduate & Professional Student Government, specifically the Health and Wellness Committee.

“It’s important for general safety as to how you respond,” said Jessica Tompkins, Media School representative for GPSG. “Being prepared for that is important.

It’s a grim reality we face.”

Teter began the presentation with a disclaimer.

“This is not intended to scare anybody,” he said.

“This is, unfortunately, just the world we live in.”

He introduced himself to the students and asked about how many had been in house fires or tornadoes. A few raised their hands, but not many. He said he did this to illustrate just how rare active shooter situations are.

“Your chances of getting struck by lightning more than once is greater than being in an active shooter incident,” Teter said.

However, he said this doesn’t mean knowing what to do is unimportant. He said it was useful information for school life and everyday life outside of the classroom.

Teter opened the Protect IU website. Many of the students raised their hands when he asked if they had ever visited the site before.

Lt. Brice Teter of IU Police Department educates graduate students on proper response to an active shooter situation. Teter met with students Tuesday evening in the Global and International Studies Building.

He would preface the rest of his speech with a video.

“You need to be prepared for the worst,” a voice that sounded similar to the one used in action movie trailers said.

The dramatized video began with a bald man in sunglasses walking with a backpack into an office building with people working. Once he was inside, he pulled a shotgun out of his bag and quickly began firing at people in the lobby.

While the actors were panicking, the video endeavored to explain some procedures in the case of this event. It ran through three major points — run, hide or fight.

After each dramatized situation, the screen would show a list of tips for the given response.

“Be aware,” the deep voice said at the end of the video.

“Be prepared.”

After the video, Teter went

back to the front of the room and resumed his lecture.

He said the most important thing someone can do is have a personal plan prepared in any given situation and in any place. It doesn’t have to be complicated, he said.

He said to run as far as possible and not to let injured people slow one down.

“I know that’s a hard concept to understand,” he said.

“As human beings, we want to help people, but you have to think about you.”

It may mean stepping over the body of a classmate who’s calling for help, he said. He said a person just needs to get out.

Teter quickly studied the room and began to show students some strategies they could use to survive a shooting incident in that room.

He said they could break the windows and climb out, lock the doors, put a belt around a part of the door to keep it closed and stand

behind the wall with chairs ready to strike an intruder.

When he mentioned that students may have to attack the gunman, he said it had to be without hesitation.

“You’ve gotta go into that dark place no one wants to talk about to inflict as much harm as possible against this other person,” Teter said.

“You’re only going to get one chance.”

He asked if anyone in the crowd had questions about the process.

The vice president of GPSG, Blake Forland, asked how students could find out about situations if they weren’t in the building or close to the area of the attack.

Teter said they would receive a phone call, a text and an email. However, the texts would be short because of character restrictions.

He said the text would read something like, “Active shooter. Wells Library. Shelter in place.”

Panelists talk US-Russia relations

By Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu | @knickele5

Four panelists discussed the relationship between the United States and Russia on Monday after a few weeks into the Trump administration.

From 6 to 7 p.m., the IU School of Global and International Studies auditorium had a full house. The auditorium became intimate and conversational as the speakers engaged in discussion and, later, took questions from the audience and from one another.

Maria Lipman, senior author and an editor-inchief of Counterpoint, an electronic journal that offers scientific, forensic and technology education, started the evening’s discussion about how Russia and influential leaders are responding to President Trump’s election to office.

“Russia is strong,” Lipman said. “It’s time to make peace with the U.S.”

Lipman mentioned how Russian leaders are becoming incredibly skeptical of Trump and his administration in general due the significant media coverage.

Lipman said television has overdone it.

Another panelist, IU professor of political science Regina Smyth, discussed Russia’s current role in the world.

In previous years, Russia’s primary involvement in international affairs involved oil, Smyth said. The conversation turned to Russia’s historical conflicts with Georgia.

“Russia is not the poor cousin of the global order anymore,” Smyth said.

Panelist and professor in the School of Global and International Studies Emma Gilligan spoke next on Russia’s current challenges, including the predicament of political prisoners.

“There are about 40 in Russia right now, most charged for extremist

crimes without a lot of evidence,” Gilligan said.

Chechnya, a federal subject of Russia, has struggles of its own that prove incredibly serious — torture is prominent in many areas, Gilligan said. The question, she said, is whether humanitarian efforts in this region can survive and succeed enough to make a difference.

Gilligan said people on an everyday level still suffer.

People with disabilities and those without health care are two groups that are primarily affected. Gilligan and others said they wonder if Trump and his administration will interact with or negotiate on these issues.

The last speaker of the evening was Lee A. Feinstein, IU’s dean for the School of Global and International Studies. After a primarily international-oriented discussion, Feinstein discussed the domestic perspective.

Feinstein noted the

historical divide between individuals who promoted global trade and a general openness and those who would rather build walls and segregate international powers. While the U.S. has primarily been seen as falling into the former category, Feinstein said it’s not so black and white anymore.

“Now there’s an open question as to what the views of the U.S. are,” Feinstein said.

Feinstein concluded the discussion with a pivotal point. For the past 20-25 years, every president has said he wants to improve U.S.-Russian relations, but every presidency has come and gone with the affairs worsening, Feinstein said.

The event concluded with a time for questions and answers from audience members. Guests were encouraged to attend a reception with refreshment in the atrium of the Global and International Studies building after the panel.

Designed to allow students to have their voices heard, Students United is a new club on campus created with the intent of bringing people and their view points together in harmony.

The club will be having a call-out meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Helene G. Simone Hillel Center.

It was created a few weeks ago when Jennifer Nelson Williams came to speak to students at Hillel about becoming more engaged as citizens.

Afterwards, when students came to her with the desire to help create a campaign in Bloomington, she had agreed to work with them.

“It’s just increasing the respect and awareness of people amongst those who are different from you,” Williams said.

Williams, the president of A.R.N. Funeral and Cremation services in Zionsville, helped co-found a group called Women 4 Change Indiana.

The group was founded as a direct response to the election of President Trump, Williams said. The organization’s platform is focused on increasing civility, allowing women access to the health care they need, engaging women in the political process and running for office, and teaching women how to become more active citizens.

The creation of Students United came in response to the conversation Williams had at Hillel, she said.

“What we really want to do is invest in the emotions of our members and control hateful rhetoric

and bring people together again,” Students United founding member Abe Shapiro said.

Shapiro, a freshman studying history at IU, said the idea for the group came from wanting to bring people together again after Trump’s election.

He said hateful rhetoric on campus in the wake of election season was one of the reasons why the club was created.

“It’s not about anarchy or smashing windows of the local Starbucks,” Shapiro said. “It’s certainly not about using violence to create change. We are a pacifist organization seeking to make a name for ourselves in wanting to bring people together.”

Shapiro said the group aims to be non-partisan by providing a stance of neutrality in order for opposing viewpoints to be acknowledged.

“I think they would feel that it had been a success if they were able to reach students in the IU community that are marginalized, that don’t feel heard or seen, and increase the civility on their own campus,” Williams said.

The club’s first campaign, called “We See You,” is intended to mediate conflict between people of different races and ethnicities.

It is also intended to do so with immigrants and those who have been recently attacked, Shapiro said.

The club is waiting until after its call-out meeting Thursday to make more set plans regarding the organization and what it wants to do.

“Even the smallest acknowledgement of someone — friendly, of course — can bring people together again,” he said. “And that’s what we want.”

$3.2 million grant funds new mobile critical care program by IU center From IDS Reports

A grant for $3.2 million from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute will fund the development of a mobile Critical Care Recovery Program by IU Center for Aging Research.

According to an IU press release, two million of the five million Americans who are taken to intensive care units develop respiratory failure.

Respiratory failure can cause long-term impairment both psychically and psychologically.

The trial development will be lead by Dr. Babar A. Khan from the IU Center for Aging Research and Regenstrief Institute.

“Although there are certainly some community resources and rehabilitation services available to ICU survivors, these are fragmented and difficult for the post-ICU patient and family to access, typically making a meaningful recovery unattainable,” Khan said in the press release.

The mobile CCRP is designed to reduce the risk

of rehospitalization and to reassure patients and their families, according to the release.

All the patients of the mobile program will be shadowed for 12 months, according to the release.

During the year a mobile care coordinator will be supported by a team made of an intensive care unit physician, a geriatrician, a neuropsychologist, and an ICU symptom management nurse, according to the release.

They will visit the ICU survivors on a biweekly basis.

The team will meet weekly to continuously update a personal recovery plan for the patient and the caregiver, according to the press release.

“When we talk about rehospitalization, we shouldn’t forget how the patient and how the family feel about it,” Khan said in the release. “Decreasing the likelihood of rehospitalization is not just about health care costs, it’s about people and their lives.”

IU scientist David Polly, along with other co-authors of a new article on climate change perspective, said the discussion needs to change to adapting instead of stopping.

Scientists say climate discussion must shift From IDS reports

An IU paleontologist and his co-authors published a paper Friday that concluded scientists and policymakers should use knowledge from the past to develop a new system for protecting ecosystems in a time of accelerating global change.

The article, which was published in the journal Science, states the need for combining conservation biology with evidence from paleobiology — the study of the fossil record of the history of life — and the Earth sciences, according to an IU press release.

David Polly, professor of geological sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences, is one of the authors of the article.

Polly was one of 41 coauthors. He organized a workshop that inspired the work and was part of a small writing group that produced the text. The article is named “Merging paleobiology with conservation biology to guide the future of terrestrial ecosystems,” and is available online.

“It’s a way of working with ecosystems that we know we’re going to lose,” Polly said in the release. “Instead of trying to maintain them in past optimal states, we would try to maintain productivity in the face of change.”

The article said factors such as climate change, resource overconsumption and pollution are reaching a point where it is unrealistic to focus only on protecting ecosystems from change.

Instead, it states there needs to be a new approach that factors in the ability of ecosystems to adapt to changing conditions.

During the past 50 years environmental change has increased dramatically, according to the article. The authors say it is overwhelming to many ecosystems that have existed for millennia.

For the first time since 15 million years ago, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have reached a level more than 400 parts per million. Scientists say at this level some damage and effects of climate change are irreversible.

Also, by 2050, the human population is expected to grow by 3 billion, the article claims.

It states in light of these factors and the current state of the world in regards to industry and climate it is impossible not to alter the ecosystem.

The article recommends a focus on maintaining functional integrity, or the ability for an ecosystem to withstand changes caused by human beings to the point where it can avoid losing its central purpose. The

article says this is more realistic than trying to protect a specific species or habitat.

The article said the idea of trade-offs between conservation and maximizing biodiversity, preserving wilderness and maintaining ecosystem services, such as food production, human enjoyment of nature, fresh air and clean water, is going to be increasingly common.

However, the article said making these decisions requires a better understanding of environmental change over time, why certain species survive more than others, how climate change affects plant and animal populations and when an ecosystem reaches what’s called a “tipping point.”

The article says that’s when paleontologists are needed.

Polly said in the release that paleontologists contribute to the understanding because they study environmental change in the past.

Conservation biologists study climate change as it is affected the world today.

“This provides a different framework of thinking about ecosystem change,” he said in the release. “In paleontology, there’s no such thing as a baseline. Instead, we have a record of change on many scales.”
