Transgender policies unclear after Trump tweets By Emily Eckelbarger eaeckelb@umail.iu.edu | @emeckelbarger
Aimes Dobbins logged onto Facebook around noon on Wednesday. Their timeline was dominated by a single story: President Donald Trump had tweeted that transgender people would no longer be allowed to serve in the U.S. Dobbins, an IU senior who identifies as a trans-masculine nonbinary
person, said they felt frightened by Trump’s announcement and what the future could entail. “I’m afraid this is just the beginning of the scapegoating and the pointing fingers and the saying ‘you’re not worthy, you’re a burden,’” they said. “It’s absolutely terrifying.” In a series of tweets Wednesday morning, Trump tweeted, “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot
be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Thank you.” Trump’s tweets come more than a year after policies were changed under the Obama administration to allow transgender people to openly serve in the military in January 2016. But transgender people have served in the military as far back as the Civil War, said John Summerlot,

Transgender people are also one and half to three times more likely than cis people to serve in the military. “Most of the people in the military are the same age as college students,” he said. “So they’re realizing things about their lives and themselves. It’s their first time away from home and they’re able to explore those things in ways that you don’t
get to when you’re younger.” About 150,000 transgender people have served in the military to date, he said. In his tweets, Trump mentioned the tremendous costs that transgender people entail. However, most of the military medical costs are on the Veteran Affairs end, not on the Department of Defense, which handles SEE TRUMP, PAGE 8

Post Malone and others to perform at 2017 IU Block Party From IDS reports
New and returning students will again be welcomed back to campus with an outdoor concert, the lineup for which was announced Wednesday. RL Grime, Post Malone, 2 Cents and Niko Flores will perform 9 p.m. Aug. 19 at the 13th and Fee streets parking lot as part of the 2017 IU Block Party. Presale tickets for freshmen will be available at 10 a.m. Aug. 1 for $25. All other IU-Bloomington students can expect to pay $35 in advance starting Aug. 14 or $45 on Aug. 19. This year’s Block Party, which coincides with IU’s Welcome Week, leans heavily on EDM and rap music. RL Grime, an EDM artist who has produced remixes for Chief Keef, Jamie Lidell and Shlohmo, will headline. He’s released two singles this year — “Reims” and “Stay For It,” which features R&B star Miguel — and his second studio album, “Nova,” is forthcoming. Los Angeles rapper and singer Post Malone, who will take the stage before RL Grime, gained moderate attention in 2015 when his debut single “White Iverson” attracted millions of listens on SoundCloud. Republic Records signed him shortly after and, in 2016, released his debut album “Stoney,” which has since been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. That same year, Post Malone toured with Justin Beiber for his “Purpose” tour. Post Malone released a remix of “Congratulations” in June featuring Future and Migos’ Quavo.

Time to adapt IU’s running back position open after Camion Patrick’s medical hardship By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @TaylorRLehman
CHICAGO — While senior running back Camion Patrick was nursing a lingering shoulder injury in the spring, IU Coach Tom Allen put running backs coach Mike Hart’s 2008 NFL Combine numbers on the board under a pseudonym. He told Hart and the other running backs the player who owned those numbers was coming to camp in the summer — a tenth of a second slower than former Hoosier Tevin Coleman in 2015 and four and 12 inches shorter than former IU running back Jordan Howard’s respective vertical leap and broad jump. Even Hart was critical of the numbers he had forgotten were his. Those numbers belonged to the running back who placed fifth in Heisman votes in 2006 and went
“There was something special about [Hart]. It was his toughness. There were some skillset things that he did well, but he wasn’t going to outrun a lot of guys. But he was obviously a great, great football player.” Tom Allen, IU football coach
down as one of the greatest Big Ten running backs of all time. The lesson, Allen said, was that Hart didn’t walk onto the field possessing more talent than everyone else, but he left Michigan as the program’s all-time leading rusher. And as Patrick was granted a medical hardship, ending his collegiate football career, the lesson applies more than ever
to the IU backfield that lost its anticipated 2017 workhorse. “There was something special about him,” Allen said about Hart. “It was his toughness. There were some skillset things that he did well, but he wasn’t going to outrun a lot of guys. But he was obviously a great, great football player. It was a valuable lesson, for that position and others, to say this is what we’re looking for. Why was Mike Hart such a great player?” Allen and the coaching staff was worried about Patrick. Allen said the running back’s shoulder was not healing right as offseason camps continued into the summer, and he hadn’t practiced at all. This was the guy that was supposed to walk onto the field with more talent than everyone else, a gift even Hart didn’t have. SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 8

Steve Jobs electro-acoustic opera coming to IU next fall By Clark Gudas ckgudas@indiana.edu | @This_isnt_Clark
The legacy that started in a garage is now coming to the stage. “The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs,” an electro-acoustic opera co-produced by the Jacobs School of Music and the Santa Fe Opera, is set to makes its IU debut in September 2018. Written by composer Mason Bates and librettist Mark Campbell, the opera follows the life of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs from his time as a counterculture hippie to technology mogul. “Jobs’ search for inner peace is the story of the opera, which, in a sentence, is about a man who learns to be human again,” Bates said on his blog. Bates took a poetic, energetic and nonlinear approach to creating the opera so as to reflect Jobs’s personality and psyche, Bates said in an interview with NPR.
The work is anchored with musical numbers and a single question, “How can you simplify human communication when people are so messy?” Bates said on his blog. Personal relationships and technological revolution are also explored in the opera. Each character’s personality is represented by a diverse musical style — Jobs’s is buzzing and energetic, while his wife Laurene’s is pensive. Even set design is representative of Jobs’s work with Apple. Projection mapping, which uses sensors attached to stage units to allow projected video to move with a dynamic set, is used in the opera. “We wanted to integrate it seamlessly into the design because that’s what Steve Jobs and Apple did with the products themselves,” Opera Director Kevin Newbury said in an interview with NPR. The work debuted at the Santa Fe Opera on July 22, and will be performed there throughout August. The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs “features a stage where film projections can move with the scenery.”

CEWiT starts mentor program Laurie McRobbie
appointed to state arts commission
By Emily Eckelbarger eaeckelb@umail.iu.edu @emeckelbarger
While Erin Baginski studied at IU, she was frequently one of two women in her classrooms. Besides her roommate, everyone else in her computer and information systems classes was male. She’s since become the IT director at Progressive Insurance in Cleveland. But not without her fair share of struggle. “I really just didn’t know what to do and where to go,” she said. “I didn’t have any role models. I didn’t really know anyone who was in this field who was female that I could ask questions.” The Center of Excellence for Women in Technology is working to solve the problem Baginski faced as a student. CEWiT will be starting its first fully-fledged ementor program for female students in the fall. “We would have loved to have something like this,” Baginski said. The mentorship program was requested by CEWiT students. “We always want to be responsive to what students need,” said Michelle BartleyTaylor, CEWiT Assistant Director for Student Engagement. “They’re always looking for career development opportunities, to get connected through internships and job prospects.” The mentorship program will be divided into two programs. The CEWiT Women’s Mentor Collective is open to any undergraduate woman working in a technology-related field. The CEWiT Black Women in STEM Mentor Collective was made specifically to address the distinctive intersectional needs of

black women studying and working in STEM fields. Last year, CEWiT ran a pilot version of the e-mentor program with 17 students receiving mentorship from 14 mentors. CEWiT collaborates with Mentor Collective, an agency that handles the program’s logistics. This year, CEWiT is hoping to provide at least 50 students with a mentor. “They really want to know what it’s like for women to work in tech,” she said. “They hear stories about how difficult it is for women to work in tech and they want to hear stories from women actually working in the industry.” IU alumnae working in technology-related industries volunteer to videochat and message back and forth with IU women. Baginski began mentoring for the CEWiT program in February. “I wanted to start to give back a little more outside of my day job,” Baginski said. “I thought Center of Excellence for Women in Technology organization was just the right place for me to help
because I was in the same boat as some of these ladies trying to figure out where to go, what to do and how it all works.” Baginski graduated from IU with a bachelor’s degree in computer and information systems through the Kelley School of Business. Her experiences in the workplace have been similar to her time in the classroom. There are still meetings and days where she’s surrounded entirely by men. “The field in general is male-dominated, so as a female, you’re not going to have the cohort or peer group that you might have in another field,” she said. “It can be intimidating. It doesn’t have to be though.” The mentorship program, Bartley-Taylor said, is a chance to see examples of women who have persevered and succeeded. It’s also about using mentors as sounding boards. Baginski talked with her mentee about working in an internship. She advised her mentee to focus not only on her technical skills, but also
her soft skills like leadership. Although there are mock exercises and projects in classrooms, Baginski said internships present valuable opportunities to talk with and influence new people. She said she hopes her work with her mentee has helped her to develop skills outside the classroom. Bartley-Taylor said she hopes that the mentors and mentees in the program can maintain their relationship long-term. “The other thing we’ve learned for our program to be successful, it’s about building a relationship,” she said. “A relationship develops over time.” Baginski said she thinks that having women equally represented in the workplace increases the employee base as a whole. “We are still seeing a definite lack of women going into the STEM fields,” she said. “I am a huge proponent of diversity of thought and approach, and you get that when you have people from different experiences and experiences.”
IU study looks at youth sports tourism industry growth From IDS reports
A recent IU study revealed that changes in marketing strategies could grow the youth sports tourism, a multibillion-dollar-a-year industry. The study was lead by Richard Buning, an assistant professor in the School of Physical Education and Tourism management at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, and Cassandra Coble, a clinical assistant professor in the IU School of Public Health. It looked at youth sports, which are non-school-related sports activities organized through
“Some families whose children are playing at an elite level may take 10, 20 or 30 trips a year.” Richard Buning, assistant professor in the School of Physical Education and Tourism management at IUPUI
local programs, according to an IU press release. Parents spend as much as $20,000 a year to take their children to youth sporting events, according to the release. “There’s a wide range of people doing it, with some
families making one trip a year,” Buning said in the release. “But some families whose children are playing at an elite level may take 10, 20 or 30 trips a year.” Although there is data on youth sports tourism expenses such as gasoline, airfare, hotel rooms and meals, there is little data on the travel experience itself. “There’s been little research to see what people want out of these types of trips, how they make decisions related to this type of travel, what they look for in destinations and events, and what their experiences are
like when they go on this type of trip,” Buning said in the release. Travelers typically have limited planning before a trip to a sporting event. Parents, young athletes and support staff have little free time outside of sporting events, according to the release. However, creative marketing strategies could engage travelers to let them know what’s available at the destination. Marketing toward organizers, coaches and team facilitators could further engage youth sports tourists.
IU First Lady Laurie Burns McRobbie was appointed to the Indiana Arts Commission, a statewide program that provides artistic resources to artists and communities, on July 20. Governor Eric Holcomb selected McRobbie as one of the 15 appointed commissioners from across the state, according to an IU press release. Her four-year term, which began on the day of her appointment, will expire June 30, 2021. “I’m honored and excited to help advance the commission’s vision to ensure the arts are everywhere, every day, for everyone in the state of Indiana,” McRobbie said in the release. McRobbie, IU’s 18th first lady, founded the Women’s Philanthropy Leadership Council at the IU Foundation. She has also served on the boards of the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County, WonderLab and Middle Way House, according to her website. “I’ve been witness to the impact of the arts in community and on its citizens in various capacities, and I truly believe communities are richer — economically, educationally, socially and culturally —when the arts thrive,” McRobbie said in the release. “I share in the commitment of my fellow commissioners to further shape Indiana’s identity as a vibrant, creative state.” Lewis Ricci, the execu-
tive director of the commission, said McRobbie was selected for the broad scope of interests and perspectives she will bring to the commission. “The other thing is that the arts commission and arts community continues to forge a lot of Laurie Burns partnerships McRobbie outside of the arts with other disciplines and other areas of community life. Someone with a broad vantage point like that helps us to really embrace that and help our organization champion looking beyond some of these traditional roles to the broader climate of the state,” he said. The commission awards grants each year to Hoosier arts organizations, programs and artists. Working on the state and community level, it also creates education opportunities for artists and organizations to help them learn to use art successfully. The commission was created in 1964 and is funded by the Indiana General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, according to the IAC website. Anne Penny Valentine from Carmel, Indiana, was the other new appointment made by Holcomb. She is the vice president of student experiences and customer service at Ivy Tech, according to an IAC press release. Emily Eckelbarger

U.S. swimmer Lilly King swims to a gold medal in the women's 100m breaststroke on Monday, August 8, 2016 at the Olympic Aquatic Stadium in Brazil. King, swimming for Team USA, won gold and set a world record in the 100m breaststroke and the 4x100 medley relay at the FINA World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, this week.
Lilly King continues to dominate at the World Championships By Austin Ghirardelli aghirard@imail.iu.edu | @a_ghirardelli
A
s the water settled prior to Tuesday’s 100m breaststroke final, IU junior swimmer Lilly King just stood in her lane starring at her former foe preparing in the lane next to hers. Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova continued her pre-race routine as if she didn’t know King was glaring her way. This isn’t the first time these two swimmers have encountered each other and it will certainly not be the last. The 2017 FINA Swimming World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, simply served as the location for the most recent installment of the KingEfimova rivalry. The highly-anticipated rematch between two of the best short-course swimmers in the world was very similar to the 100m final back at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Only this time, King broke the world record instead of the Olympic one. King’s time of 1:04.13 was 0.22 seconds faster than the previous world
record set by Lithuania’s Ruta Meilutyte in 2013. The reigning Olympic champion also broke the IU school record along with the 4-year old American record. Giving one last glance over to her Russian-rival after the race, King raised her hands in triumph before embracing her Team USA teammate, Katie Meili, who took silver by narrowly beating out Efimova by 0.02 seconds. The rivalry between King and Efimova began in Rio de Janeiro during the semifinal races leading up to 100m breaststroke final. Efimova had waved her finger showing everyone that she was No. 1 in the world at the time. King waved her finger as well, but in disapproval of the cheating allegations surrounding Efimova and the rest of the Russian team. King was well aware of the Russian doping scandal that had gone on before the Summer Olympics. Efimova, a fourtime world champion, had been suspended by FINA for testing positive for meldonium, an endurance-boosting drug that had recently been banned. Many Russian athletes were also suspended, but just before the opening ceremonies, FINA lifted the suspensions after a ruling was made by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which said athletes who tested positive could have taken the drug before it was banned.
Efimova faced a lifetime ban as this was her second offense. She had already served a 16-month suspension for testing positive for the banned steroid Dehydroepiandresterone in 2013. King knew what she was up against on her way to winning Olympic gold and she hasn’t forgotten since. Before heading to Budapest, the AllAmerican swimmer said her goal was to do something even she hasn’t done before and that was to set a world record. “Hopefully I can get a few world records,” King said. “I don’t have any of those yet. That’s what I’m really looking forward to in Budapest.” King knew to do this she would need to beat Efimova, last year’s 100m world champion. After sizing up her rival, King swam her way even further into the record books by breaking the world record on her way to collecting her first world title. IU’s swimming superstar might not be finished either, as she looks to replicate her success in both the 50m and 200m breaststroke finals. King and Efimova will most likely meet again as the two are ranked No. 1 and 2 in both events this year. Another chapter of this intense rivalry could be written soon with the 200m final coming up Friday, followed by the 50m final Sunday.

Tom Allen is confident heading into his first season as head coach CHICAGO — IU Coach Tom Allen began his tenure as college head coach by writing the numbers 50, 26 and 10 on a board. Those numbers have great meaning for the Hoosiers. It’s been 50 years since IU won the Big Ten, 26 years since IU won a bowl game and 10 years since IU has had a winning season. Allen wants to change that. “We’re going to accomplish all three of those, I told our team,” Allen said at Big Ten Media Day. “If you don’t believe that, you need to leave. Said the same thing to our staff.” Make no mistake, he’s setting the expectations sky-high for his football program. He can do so after former IU Coach Kevin Wilson laid the foundation, bringing IU to two consecutive bowl games and beginning to shift the perception of the program. Allen’s the perfect candidate to take IU to that next level, something that showed in his inaugural Big Ten Media Day. Alongside the other coaches from the conference, he exuded confidence and passion, something that’s clear whenever you listen to him speak.
As comfortable as he seems in this position already, he said he never dreamed of being the head coach at IU this soon. “This is just being transparent,” Allen said. ”I’m not one of these that guys that says I have to be a head coach. I’ve always felt like opportunities come when you do your job and you do everything the best you can. You let that take care of itself.” Allen proved himself a more than capable leader last season, transforming the IU defense into a strength of the team. He was tasked when he was hired with having his message carry over to the entire team. His mantra of Love Each Other was once again front and center Monday, but now it’s spreading beyond the defense. “I think he’s just put that whole LEO over the whole team,” senior cornerback Rashard Fant said. “Before it was mainly with the defense because he only met with us, but now he’s meeting with all of us.” Along with LEO, Allen’s passion is helping the team to buy-in this offseason.
Andrew Hussey is a senior in journalism.
“Coach Allen is big on getting to know people personally and things of that nature,” senior linebacker Tegray Scales said. “If you’re a team full of people that are bought it, it’s so much easier to work out because everyone knows there is a purpose behind things.” There’s a purpose with everything that Allen says and does. He brings an edge and a toughness to the team along with upping the Hoosiers sense of urgency. While it might just be Allen’s first season as head coach, this is a critical year for the program and its ability to become something greater. Allen clearly believes that can happen and with good reason. Allen couldn’t help but say he’s blessed to be the head coach, but it’s really the other way around. IU should be thankful that it had a more than capable coach waiting in the wings as defensive coordinator. aphussey@indiana.edu thehussnetwork
Talk of first game against Ohio State dominates IU’s Big Ten Media Day CHICAGO — Two words dominated Monday’s Big Ten Media Day for IU: Ohio State. With the annual event ushering in the beginning of the new football season, the Hoosiers couldn’t go more than a few minutes without getting asked a question about their opponent for the first game of the season. In case you hadn’t heard, IU opens the 2017 season with a home game Aug. 31 against Ohio State, fresh off its second berth in the College Football Playoff. After getting shut out against eventual national champion Clemson, the Buckeyes turned to former IU Coach Kevin Wilson to fix their offense. The game will also be IU Coach Tom Allen’s first regular season game as head coach. In his first time up at the podium at Big Ten Media Day, he called the game the biggest home opener in IU history. He’s not wrong. The game would provide a monumental opportunity for Allen’s squad to breakthrough in his Memorial Stadium debut. With the primetime kickoff on ESPN, the Hoosiers could make a deafening statement against one of the best teams in the
nation. While the home opener should be a great environment and provides Allen a huge stage for his debut, its only one game and will not define the season. The game should not be used as a barometer how the inaugural season for Allen will go. All three Hoosier players who came to Chicago were peppered by endless questions about the game against the Buckeyes. Other important areas of concern such as how the offensive line is going to look without Dan Feeney and who is going to emerge as a passrusher were barely even broached. The news that senior running back Camion Patrick, a player whose potential Wilson raved about, failed to register. All because Ohio State looms large. The games at Virginia and Michigan State will tell us a lot more about what this team is going to be than the game against Ohio State. Those games are against teams IU should beat with the talent it has, but are the games that previous IU teams have failed to win. To move to the next echelon of the conference, IU
Andrew Hussey is a senior in journalism.
has to win those games consistently. The path to seven or eight wins for IU isn’t paved with victories over one of the best teams in the country, but with victories over teams it should beat. Last season, IU was close against so many teams and couldn’t come out with wins in toss up type games. Ohio State is far from a toss-up game. Games at Illinois and Maryland along with a home game against perennial Big Ten power Wisconsin are significantly more winnable for the Hoosiers. Those games are the ones IU needs to win to secure the breakthrough that Allen has been preaching about all offseason long. If IU beats Ohio State, that doesn’t mean the Hoosiers are destined for a winning season. If IU loses, hope for that breakthrough is not lost. Even though talk of the game dominated Media Day, its outcome will not determine whether IU finally makes a leap forward this season. aphussey@indiana.edu thehussnetwork

By Bryan Brussee | bbrussee@indiana.edu | @BryanBrussee In sci-fi author Ernest Cline’s future, we will live in buildings made out of stacked motor homes. The cities will be too crowded and too polluted to commute to, so we’ll plug into the virtual reality hub The Oasis to go to work and school. In the face of a global energy crisis and ecological devastation, we’ll pine for the ’80s, partially because that decade gave us the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Atari 2600, but mostly because the pop culture trivia of that decade is the cypher used by an eccentric tech mogul to
encode the secret to his cyber space fortune. This is the future of Cline’s New York Times bestselling novel “Ready Player One,” which already had a film deal with Warner Bros. before it hit book stores in 2011. The first footage of the film adaptation, which is being directed by ’80s film guru Steven Spielberg, was shown at last week’s San Diego Comic Con. The trailer billed the movie as the “Holy Grail of Pop Culture” in between footage showing off the Iron Giant, Freddie Krueger and Deadpool.

But in the wake of a preview that reference ’80s touchstones without using them to say anything new, the backlash is already underway. Kelley School of Business professor Ben Storey is wearing a t-shirt with an illustration of 8-bit Mario emblazoned on the chest. As an aspiring author and a child of the ’80s, he’s both familiar with the decade from which “Ready Player One” pilfers as well as intrigued by the

Vaudeville to come to the Buskirk From IDS reports
Starkey the Wonder Horse is coming to the Buskirk-Chumley Theater this August. The theater will play host to “Va-Va-Va-Vaudeville,” a variety show featuring local performers. Two shows are scheduled for Aug. 19, the first a kid-friendly matinee at 2 p.m., followed by an evening show which includes a burlesque act at 8 p.m. Joseph Ermey, who’s performed in Bloomington’s theater circuit, will host the matinee alongside pianist Ross Martinie Eiler. The People’s Diva Argenta Peron and two-time Bloomington Comedy Festival winner David Britton will host the evening show. Both shows aim to put on a performance that “harkens back to early 20th century vaudeville troupes that crisscrossed the country by train, entertaining young and old alike,” according to a press release from the Dance Network Alliance. Performers include members of AsaBela Aerial Circus Academy, The

‘Lust for Life’ isn’t quite paradise “Lust for Life” will be a treat for Lana Del Rey fans. She works with her longtime producer Rick Nowels to craft a well-produced, avant-garde record with some special guests. But while it’s likely to beguile fans, this album might not be as enjoyable for people who haven’t already bought into Del Rey’s hypnagogic take on retroAmerican pop. One of this record’s greatest strengths is Del Rey’s beautifully expressive and versatile voice. She hits some of her high notes so well that they’ll remind you why she became such a success in the first place. The music framing that voice is also excellent. In the hands of Nowels,

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 ongoing dialogue between literature’s past and its present. He says that all pop culture is disposable, and to illustrate his point, he considers Dave Matthews. Storey loves the Dave Matthews Band, which he discovered as a college student in the 90s. Storey says the band was a progressive thing to like back then. The lyrics were interesting and insightful, and in the aftermath of grunge’s performative angst, nobody sounded quite like Dave and his easy-going, jam-centric take on rock. Now Storey is a 35-year-
every instrument sounds slightly askew. That’s especially true of the violin and piano parts on early highlight “13 Beaches.” It’s a great reflection of Del Rey’s unconventionalstyle. You could imagine Trent Reznor or David Lynch liking this album. The featured artists complement, rather than interfere, with Del Rey’s originality. Stevie Nicks harmonizes well with Del Rey on “Beautiful People Beautiful Problems.” Sean Ono Lennon’s contributions to “Tomorrow Never Came” do not get in her way. This album has 16 tracks, making it Del Rey’s longest work. There are some standouts, such as “Coachella
- Woodstock in My Mind” and “Change.” But some of the songs are less memorable and blend into each other, which can make sitting all the way through the record’s 72 minutes a chore. While Del Rey’s music can be idiosyncratic and revelatory, “Lust for Life” does not have a lot of stylistic variety. All of her songs have the same kind of melancholic strangeness and slow pace. If you are already a fan of Del Rey’s then you’ll love this album. But if you don’t, it can be a little repetitive.
old professor, and to the generation he teaches, the Dave Matthews Band represents, in Storey’s words, “dude, bro culture.” To today’s generation of college students, Matthews is the guy whose van dumped 800 pounds of human waste into the Chicago River in 2004. In short: Dave is lame. Storey has no illusions that Dave is great, timeless art, nor does he have those illusions about any other piece of pop culture. He calls the vast majority of popular entertainment “absolutely ephemeral.” But he also recognizes the power of nostalgia. That’s why Storey can play every Dave Matthews song on guitar, and that’s presumably why people
living in Cline’s dystopic 2040s care about the 80s. Storey explains that nostalgia has so much power not because the past was actually better than the present, but because it seemed that way. According to Alan H. Hirsch in his 1992 paper “Nostalgia: A Neuropsychiatric,” nostalgia is a yearning for past built from the “combination of many different memories, all integrated together, and in the process all negative emotions filtered out.” There’s a page in “Ready Player One” where Cline defines his main character Wade Watts by all the ‘80s entertainment he’s absorbed. The list includes

Lana Del Rey remains a sad girl on "Lust for Life," her fifth record and her first that’s 72 minutes long.
“I was part of the first generation to have video games, to have computers to have a VCR. I wanted to pay tribute to that. Nostalgia, I think, is good.” Ernest Cline, sci-fi author
references to “Star Wars,” “Indiana Jones,” “Star Trek,” “Godzilla,” John Hughes, Rush, Van Halen and just about anything else someone who’s rolled a 20-sided die is likely to recognize. But does it mean anything? Storey’s argument is that it does, but only because they simply remind people of their childhood in the same way that Dave Matthews reminds Storey of his college years. Others argue that the references are essentially
wempty. In an article for The New York Times, Janet Maslin provided one of the book’s few negative reviews, writing, “there comes a point when it’s clear that Wade lacks at least one dimension, and that gaming has overwhelmed everything else about this book.” Cline wrote “Ready Player One” in the late 2000s. He was 8 years old in 1980, and now he’s 45. Posing in front of a DeLorean in his author photo, he looks a little bit like Kevin Smith,
and like Smith, he’s found success commodifying his vast knowledge of the geek canon and selling it back to Hollywood. “I was part of the first generation to have video games, to have computers, to have a VCR,” Cline said in a 2015 interview with Slate Magazine. “I wanted to pay tribute to that. Nostalgia, I think, is good.” Maybe Cline is right, and maybe nostalgia is good. Or maybe Cline’s just misremembering his own past.

When the Japanese electronic artist Keigo Oyamada released his third record “Fantasma” on Matador Records in 1997, it sounded unlike anything else in stateside record stores. Its psychedelic pop recalled the modular songwriting and instrumental variety of “Pet Sounds”-era Beach Boys, and its painstaking sampling was just close enough to “Odelay”-era Beck to appeal to the indie kids. But at the same time, its eclectic mix of rock, jazz, electronic and pop music felt distinctly Japanese, rooted in the genre-bending Shibuyakei that was thriving in Tokyo shopping districts. It’s been 11 years since Oyamada, who records under the name “Cornelius,” released a proper LP, but he’s kept busy, delving further into electronica with his recent “Ghost in the Shell” soundtracks and remixes. Last week he returned to the album format with the gorgeous and easy-going “Mellow Waves.” It’s a record that drifts even further away from “Fantasma”‘s giddy glow than his experimental 2001 record “Point.” “Mellow Waves”‘s opening track “If You’re Here” floats lazily through tremolopulsing bass notes and a melancholy guitar line, and the
Mellow Waves
meditative vocal melody that carries “Dear Future Person” captures all the yearning that its title implies. If there’s anything similar in his discography to “Mellow Waves,” it’s the wistful, subdued cover of Yellow Magic Orchestra’s “Cue,” which served as a B-side track from his prolific “Sensuous” sessions in 2006. But while that track found Oyamada singing in English, his latest record finds him singing exclusively in Japanese. The only English comes from a feature by Lush’s Miki Berenyi, who contributes vocals to “The Spell of a Vanishing Loveliness.”
Bryan Brussee is a recent journalism graduate.
While his delicate voice serves to carry the melody for most of the album, Oyamada also understands the value in letting a track speak for itself, as he does on the instrumental palette-cleanser “Surfing on Mind Wave, Pt. 2.” It’s remarkable that an album in which every note sounds meticulously sampled and mixed can feel so emotive.“Mellow Waves” succeeds in a creating a singular, pensive ambience. bbrussee@indiana.edu @BryanBrussee

active duty military members, Summerlot said. No policies have officially been changed in light of Trump’s tweets. The Pentagon responded to the tweets with a statement from Captain Jeff Davis, saying: “We refer all questions about the president’s statements back to the White House. We will continue to work closely with the White House to address the new guidance provided by the Commander-in-Chief on transgender individuals serving in the military. We will provide revised guidance to the Department in the near future. However, the tweets shed light on Trump’s approach to LGBT rights. Trump, who ran on an LGBT-friendly platform during his candidacy, supported Betsy DeVos’ reversal of an Obama administration policy of allowing transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice. Dobbins is afraid of what could come from the remainder of Trump’s term. Aimes Dobbins is an IU senior majoring in an individualized major of Queer Advocacy. Dobbins’ parents are both retired Navy chief petty officers, so they receive their insurance through the military. Last November, Dobbins was able to begin receiving coverage for their hormones through their parents’ military insurance. “Waking up to news that trans people can’t serve in the military anymore, my first thought is, ‘They’re going to start taking benefits away from us,’” they said. “The only reason that I’m able to be trans the way that I’m trans is because my parents were in the military and I have benefits for being transgender.” Dobbins said they aren’t supportive of the military or its missions, but they say that trans people need to have the right to serve in the military. “If somebody wants to die for our country, I don’t care— they can,” they said. “People are heroes no matter what their gender is.” “Other countries look at our military and think, ‘This is what America is,’” Dobbins said. For Trump to send these tweets is to send the message that transgender people are a burden, they said. In the meantime, Dobbins called on the university and the LGBTQ+ Culture Center to be vocal about political developments. “I think that each time something like this happens, it’s an opportunity for us to grow stronger,” they said. Dobbins said they would like to see a retired transgender military person on campus to be available to talk with students. They also called for a partnership between the Veteran’s Support Services office and the LGBTQ+ Culture Center. “We need to create safe spaces for people to come to and talk to people,” they said. “The university could do so much more, in so many different aspects. I think some changes need to happen on campus and this is a wake-up call.” “You can’t be passive in a time like this,” they said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Former head coach Kevin Wilson and former running backs coach Deland McCullough raved about their new running back when Patrick committed to transfer to Bloomington from East Mississippi Community College in 2015. Wilson even went as far as declaring Patrick the best player on the 2015 team that boasted Jordan and former IU quarterback Nate Sudfeld in the backfield. The shoulder injury wasn’t all that held the running back down though, as academic ineligibility kept him sidelined in 2015, and a knee injury sidelined him for most of the 2016 season. The only flash he showed for fans was against Rutgers in 2016, when he caught six passes for 154 yards and had a 40-yard touchdown. “We just had to come to a conclusion that his body just let him down, and he wasn’t able to do it, to play that position, the pounding it’s going to take to play,” Allen said. “Ever since I’ve been here, he’s been hurt the whole time. I think he’s very frustrated by all of it. I hate it for him. Obviously we were counting on him.” The Hoosiers really were

“We just had to come to a conclusion that his body just let him down, and he wasn’t able to do it, to play that position, the pounding it’s going to take to play.” Tom Allen, football coach
counting on him because it has been many years since IU entered a season without a clear starting running back. Now the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the stable of backs that McCullough brought to Bloomington and Hart now coaches them. A backfield “by-committee” is the plan, Allen said. Combining the skillsets of current running backs — juniors Ricky Brookins, Alex Rodriguez and Mike Majette, sophomores Devonte Williams and Tyler Natee and redshirtfreshman Cole Gest. “We really have a lot of depth, for sure,” Allen said. “Just don’t have that one guy that is proven.” Majette is probably the closest to proven and complete as a running back, Allen said. The junior posted 37 carries and a receiving touchdown in 2015 and matched his usage numbers in 2016 before suffering an injury that kept him out of the last five games of the season.
Brookins had the most carries of any returning running back in the Foster Farms Bowl, the only game Allen has coached at the helm so far. He carried the ball 12 times for 53 yards. Rodriguez was also the most featured back in the Spring Game in April, scoring the game-winning touchdown in overtime. Natee is also famous for his Big Bacon package where he shared the backfield with former Hoosier quarterback Zander Diamont, and Gest has impressed with his speed. None of the running backs have overwhelming talent, and each of them brings a different asset to the table. The starting job is in the air, Allen said, but he’s not fearful of his running backs failing to prove themselves. “I just know how this can go, and somebody is going to step up,” Allen said. “That’s always going to be the case. I’m anxious to see who that might be, but we’ve got plenty of guys to pick from.”

EDITORIAL BOARD
Don’t criminalize boycotts of Israel The Israel Anti-Boycott Act impugns American’s First Amendment right to peaceful protest The U.S. Congress is about to make a mistake. A week ago, the American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter to Senate sponsors of a new bill called the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, voicing concerns that the bill would punish free speech and violate the First Amendment. The bill amends the Export-Administration Act of 1979 and the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, which, among other things, bars United States persons, typically companies, from supporting a foreign government’s request to boycott U.S. allies, according to the ACLU. Congress enacted the legislation decades ago in response to the Arab state’s boycott of Israel and its settlement of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Violators of the law face felony charges—a $250,000 maximum civil penalty, a
maximum $1 million criminal penalty or 20 years in prison. These penalties are nothing new. However, the new bill extends the scope of boycotts to include those led by intergovernmental organizations, such as the United Nations and European Union. As detailed in their statements, the bill’s bipartisan architects, Senator Ben Cardin, D-Maryland, and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, frame the legislation as a response to recent U.N. calls to boycott Israel and justify it as a measure to punish discrimination against people of a national origin. Last year, the U.N. Human Rights Council adopted four resolutions regarding Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, reaffirming the national rights and dignity of the Palestinian inhabitants.
Specifically, the council called on companies to “avoid, identify, assess and address any adverse human rights impacts related to their activities” in the territories, according to the U.N. Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner. Many watchdog groups and lobbyists, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, interpreted the resolutions as a U.N. call to isolate, boycott and shame Israel, calling it anti-Semitism repackaged, according to the AIPAC website. Like the ACLU, the Editorial Board takes no stance on the ethics or effectiveness of the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign to pressure Israel to end its 50-year occupation of Palestinian territory.
However, boycotting countries, their military occupations and even their people is a constitutional right. Courts have continually upheld that boycotts, whatever their motive, are protected under the First Amendment. For example, in NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware, the Supreme Court affirmed the right of NAACP activists to organize an economic boycott of white-owned businesses in Mississippi. Boycotts have been a vital part of American democracy and collective action since the Boston Tea Party. As the ACLU noted in their letter, our founding father John Jay led a boycott against merchants engaged in the slave trade. The Montgomery Bus Boycott of 195556 turned the tide for the civil rights movement against Jim Crow. Our nation’s universities, including
IU, led a boycott campaign against apartheid South Africa in the 1970s and 1980s. The Israel Anti-Boycott Act follows a wave of recent legislation at the local and state level to criminalize one of the only peaceful means left for Palestinians to achieve national liberation. It makes it a felony to refuse business with Israel because of one’s political beliefs. For these reasons, it is unjust, unconstitutional, imprudent and likely to fail. Critics say that boycott campaigns are motivated by prejudice and malice toward Jews and their country. Even so, the solution is not to criminalize the instruments of civil disobedience. As Louis Brandeis, eminent jurist and ardent Zionist, wrote in his concurring opinion to Whitney v. California, the remedy to bigoted speech is “more speech, not enforced silence.”

DEER IN THE WORKS
Your intellectual idols will disappoint you with their ignorance
AIPAC, ACLU and Congress are tilting at imaginary windmills
As a young person, I admit to knowing very little. To compensate, I pool knowledge from scholars, activists and public figures that I admire to create a collage of beliefs that inform my view of the world from what would otherwise be a small vantage point. I rely on these voices for inspiration and critical thinking, and view them as credible, trusted sources. Occasionally, though, one of them makes a statement that demonstrates how ignorant even the most precious intellectual authorities can be. Last week, journalist and former lawyer Jill Filipovic commented on an analysis of modern liberalism from The Washington Post via her Twitter account. “Today’s socialist left: more 1930s than ‘60s. Yep. Remember who was excluded from political participation in the ‘30s?” she tweeted. But Filipovic’s Twitter thread was deeply ahistorical and intellectually dishonest. By invoking a shallow call to lift voices of color in an inaccurate recollection of political history, she removed such people of color, specifically black activists and organizers, from America’s socialist movement. People of color have always been organizing politically, whether white people
recognize it or not. Writer and researcher Roqayah Chamseddine said it best in her Medium piece responding to the comment. “How else are you going to accuse socialists of being white men if you’re made to acknowledge the existence of black and PoC socialists?” Chamseddine said. “We don’t exist, but for the illustrations of us they use to peddle neoliberal policies, and centrist organizing tactics that are about as spineless and cartoonish as their very ideology.” Many of those whose writing I look up to are white liberals and relatively young themselves. These people are easily digestible to me. I don’t have to seriously acknowledge my status as a middleclass white woman when I read a piece about race and political participation or the intersection of race and gender in American civic life because, frankly, issues of racial oppression and white supremacy are largely tokenized. These topics are clouded by the theme of resistance in the shallowest terms. Calls to help your fellow human or analyze your privilege are thrown in oneliners among a piece that is, at its core, intellectually dishonest by erasing the work of people of color to rewrite history through a white gaze.
Julia Bourkland is a senior in political science.
In short, the people you look up to will disappoint you. A piece of writing, public debate or tweet by an intellectual figure will be eyed as questionable. Perhaps the second or third time around, their actions will be labeled as problematic. Eventually, they could even be deemed a problematic person. But an upset with someone, like Filipovic, who people look up to for intellectual counsel doesn’t have to end in disdain for the intricate political and social movements at large. These moments serve as a lesson in critical thinking and an opportunity for privileged younger people to gain new perspectives about the world around them. This is surprising to no one, of course. Every person feels that tinge in the pit of their stomach of confusion, hurt and betrayal when a person whose every word they hung onto says or does something dishonest. Young people feel this pain the hardest since it is often previously uncharted. Nevertheless, we must continue to try and make sense of the world by staying critical and wide-eyed, calling out lies and searching for truth.
In Miguel de Cervantes’s magnum opus “Don Quixote,” the befuddled hero jousts with windmills he thinks are giants. That image very well describes the current tussle between liberals and the “Israel-first” crowd about an anti-boycott law. The American Civil Liberties Union and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee are burning straw men and rallying their troops against an imaginary enemy they have constructed for themselves. The ACLU released a letter last week on the law igniting the controversy. Glen Greenwald wrote an article up in arms. The AIPAC issued a statement. The authors of the bill wrote a response letter, misrepresenting what they’re seeking to pass. By doing so, everyone scores points with their supporters at the expense of clarity. This siege mentality rewards loyalty and consolidates the reputations of these groups as guardians of fill-inthe-blank values. First, let’s get right what the Israel Anti-Boycott Act actually does. The Editorial Board and the ACLU correctly identify it as a expansion of the previous Export Administration Act of 1979 and the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, which made it a crime to participate in the Arab states’ boycott of Israel,
according to the ACLU. That has already been reauthorized several times. As Jay Michaelson wrote in The Daily Beast and the Office of Antiboycott Compliance explains, “...while the law addresses all ‘U.S. persons,’ it is actually about corporations, which are forbidden from joining the boycott, or cooperating with the boycotters by furnishing them any information. Exceptions are provided for companies that are effectively forced to cooperate to avoid the ‘secondary boycott’ of countries who do business with Israel.” The law specifically targets companies and their executives, not your student council boycotting Sabra hummus and SodaStream. It’s not like Israel’s recent boycott law that lets airport security deport you for your political views. Enter the United Nations Human Rights Council from center-left in 2016. The final resolutions recommit to the two-state solution, calling for more funding, labels on settlement products, and for companies to “avoid, identify, assess and address any adverse human rights impacts related to their activities,” according to the U.N. Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner. The drafted legislation basically adds “and the U.N.” to the list of prohibited boycottorganizers your company

can’t support. The ACLU’s worry is the expansion of “the scope of criminal laws targeting peaceful political activity,” according to its letter. But its concern is myopic. If it’s honest, it should be worried about the original anti-boycott laws, not the recent addition. The ACLU also distracts from the troubling stigmatization of non-violent Palestinian resistance against a long military occupation that controls every aspect of Palestinian life. Of course the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement exploits ambiguities of what the campaign stands for. It’s unclear whether it’s against Israel’s existence or the occupation. As Michaelson notes, the failure of the movement to condemn its own anti-Semitic elements “corrupts the entire enterprise and provides fodder for endless hysterical right-wing rants about antiSemitism on college campuses, pride marches, and U.N. meetings.” Raising false flags will not help the Palestinian cause. Like Sancho Panza in “Don Quixote,” we need to ask “where are these giants?” My hint: it’s the weapon supplier.
3 Juannita’s is proud to bring authentic Mexican food to Bloomington, Indiana. At the heart of our business is our family. Abuela Juannita, our namesake, has lovingly shared her recipes, and we’re entirely family owned and operated. Although the restaurant on W Kirkwood only opened in 2013, we’ve been in Bloomington’s food scene for quite a bit longer. Since 2007, Juannita’s daughter Carmen has been known as Bloomington’s “Tamale Lady,” delivering delicious tamales to local restaurants. But bringing interior Mexican dishes that simply aren’t on any other menus in town was the entire family’s dream, and we came together to make it a reality. Every little detail – from the bright yellow paint outside, to the fresh salsa verde, to the soda imported from Mexico and the homemade horchata – was carefully chosen to show Bloomington a real reflection of our Mexican heritage. We hope you enjoy.
