The Hill annex of Collins Living Learning Center will close at the end of this year. Multiple dorm floors in both building that make up the Hill remain empty.

Collins LLC annex slated to close The Hill will be demolished, School of Informatics and Computing assuming space

By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu | @amandanmarino

Plans are being discussed to have the Hill at Collins Living Learning Center closed at the end of this school year, torn down and potentially replaced by a new building for the School of Informatics and Computing.

The Hill, consisting of Brown and Greene Halls, is located near Woodlawn Avenue and 11th Street and has been a part of Collins since the 1990s, said professor Carl Ipsen, director of Collins.

“Those buildings will be demolished over time because they are in bad need of renovations,” said Vice President of Capital Planning and Facilities Thomas Morrison.

Though Morrison said ideas are being discussed, no plans have been confirmed.

These changes will be part of a campuswide upgrading of all the housing facilities within the next few years.

“That’s the ebb and the flow that takes place on a campus as large as this every year,” Morrison said. “It’s a puzzle sometimes.”

Ipsen said the Hill has facilities to house 120 students as well as the clubhouse, a series of art studios, lounges, a dark room, a cinema and other related activities.

“When I took this position, I knew it would happen eventually,” he said of the start of his four-year stay as director of the residence hall.

Morrison said he feels it is important not

to disrupt the students unnecessarily during the school year.

To the president of Collins Jack Hreha, the Hill is a place unique to Collins and a place for students to hang out together.

But the post World War II cinder block building wasn’t meant to be a permanent structure on campus, Ipsen said.

This isn’t the first time the Hill has been threatened to close, he said. In the 1990s, the Hill, housing many upperclassmen at the time, was set to be closed. This decision caused students to stage “Save the Hill” protests that were successful.

It’s a really emotional place for alumni, he said.

“There’s not that much desire for the Hill,” Ipsen said, explaining why protesters wouldn’t be saving the Hill this time.

Originally, Ipsen said he was told the Hill would be taken down last summer, but they ended up getting a reprieve that postponed demolition to this coming summer.

“We are working on the planning for a new informatics building,” Morrison said.

Informatics is discussing plans and architecture, as well as how to raise the funds to develop a new building, he said.

The School of Informatics and Computing wants more space and has the funds to build a new building on the location, Ipsen said.

“We’re going to at least temporarily lose that space,” Ipsen said of the 120 beds out of

540 housed by Collins.

Morrison said people are currently working on relocating facilities currently housed in the Hill.

Along with the moving of beds and the clubhouse into Hillcrest, Morrison said the fine arts studios available in the Hill might end up being housed inside the old IU Press building.

Ipsen said the loss of living space should only last about a year. After that, some of the living quarters should be replaced.

Morrison said this loss of housing was accounted for with additional beds in Rose Hall and Union Street Apartments.

“Our goal with the housing system is to keep the number of beds constant,” he said.

The average number of available beds annually is 12,000, Morrison said.

Despite this loss of housing, nobody will be asked to not come back to Collins, Ipsen said.

Instead, there may just be a waitlist to live in Collins next year, something the residence hall has experienced in years past due in part to housing supply fluctuations, he said.

“Students are living in them, but our numbers are lower,” Hreha said.

About six years ago, lounges in Collins had to be converted into makeshift dorms to accommodate all the students living in the residence hall, Ipsen said.

A new bill proposed by Rep. Todd Young, R-Ind., could have an effect on how federal social programs could be funded.

Young introduced a bill in June to implement federal use of social impact bonds, which are a system of private funding used for social programs run by the government.

Young co-wrote the bill with Rep. John Delaney, D-Md. SIBs allow the government to receive funding for social-based programs from private investors.

SIB projects that reach their set goals will bring a return investment that investors can receive partial benefits from.

If a SIB project is successful, the government pays back the investors. If not, tax dollars are not spent to continue funding.

On Tuesday during a research hearing, the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee listened to testimonies of people across the nation who have worked with SIBs. Areas of the bill are meant to target unemployment, high school graduation rates, teen and unplanned pregnancies, and child abuse and neglect.

SIBs are designed to increased effective evaluation of programs.

Typically, an outside evaluator is hired to analyze program success.

With the heavy contracting involved in making sure a project is successful, SIBs might not necessarily be a cheaper alternative.

Master Violinist teaches students at Jacobs

By Lilianne Ho yuehe@indiana.edu

Playing a nearly 300-year-old Crimean-made violin, Noah Bendix-Balgley is the concertmaster of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and has played as a soloist in Germany, France and Italy.

But before that, Bendix-Balgley was a student in the IU Jacobs School of Music and worked closely with professor Mauricio Fuks.

“Professor Fuks was a very important influence on me,” BendixBalgley said. “I started lessons with him at the age of 13. He had me go back to the very basics of technique at the very beginning and really helped me build a solid technical foundation. Mr. Fuks is brilliant. He really considers the personality of each student and adapts his teaching to best suit their individual needs. For me, we worked a lot on opening up for communication physically and

emotionally for the music.”

This time, it was the famed violinist Bendix-Balgley who was instructing students Tuesday evening at Auer Hall.

The hall was packed before the guest lecture started. There were mostly music students as well as musicians from all departments.

“Teaching is a real art and something that I am still exploring, so I don’t claim to be an expert,” Bendix-Balgley said. “But it’s very exciting to see that side of music making.”

Students from both the music school and Bloomington area participated in the lecture to receive individual coaching from Bendix-Balgley.

Bloomington local Zoie Hightower performed Concerto in D minor, Opus 47 for Violin and Piano during the lecture.

Bendix-Balgely’s instructions focused on the very fundamental communicative aspect of performances and the most ba-

High school and college-aged students attended the lecture to have one-on-one experiences with Bendix-Balgley.

For as long as she can remember, Veronica Ellis has been competitive.

Really competitive.

If it was a game, the sophomore midfielder said she wanted to win it.

If someone told her she couldn’t do something, she’d aim to prove them wrong.

In elementary school, she was sitting around the pool with her grandfather at a family condo in Florida.

Her grandfather told the young Ellis that she couldn’t stand on an inflatable raft in the middle of the pool for 10 seconds.

“It would be too hard,” he told his granddaughter.

Challenge accepted.

“I stood there from probably 11 o’clock in the morning until 4:30 p.m. when everyone had left the pool until I got it,” Ellis said. “I guess I’ve always been that way.”

In 27 games, Ellis has become a consistent rotational player for an IU team that advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season thanks to a game-winning goal off Ellis’ foot against DePaul.

Rush kicks off with field day From IDS reports

Formal fraternity recruitment continued this week with philanthropic and social rush events early this week along with new changes brought about by the Interfraternity Council.

The newly structured recruitment included a field day Monday in Dunn Meadow and individual chapter philanthropy events around campus Tuesday.

This past weekend, prospective recruits visited chapter houses for 30-minute intervals to meet brothers and receive house tours.

The chapter visits were cut short Sunday due to the time constraints of transporting the large rush group.

The greek community is currently at its largest in history, said Dylan Nash, IFC recruitment chairperson.

The current rush class tallies up to 1,904 registered for recruitment, said Liam Bolling, IUIFC.org designer and programmer.

The freshman class included 7,708 enrolled students, according to a recent release.

“We’re excited that our greek community is going to grow as a whole because of this,” Nash said.

After back-to-back days of chapter visits during the weekend, the recruits joined fraternity brothers in games of corn hole. Dunn Meadow was filled with nearly 400 brothers and recruits, Nash

said.

In accordance with the academic pillar of excellence, the fraternity rush group boasts a mean gradepoint average of about 3.6, Bolling said.

Comparatively, the current freshman class earned a middle GPA of 3.47, according to the IU Office of Admissions.

The fraternity recruits were also introduced to the other pillars of excellence during service day Tuesday.

Each chapter played host to its own philanthropy event or paired with other chapters to raise money and awareness.

Charity events varied from Lambda Chi Alpha’s tailgate event for the

Hoosier Hills Food Bank to Sigma Pi Beta’s dunk tank for Bloomington’s Middle Way House.

The IFC plans to continue to implement these events into recruitment next year, Nash said.

“A lot of recruits were excited to go out,” Nash said.

“It was cool that the general public got to participate in some of these service events.”

Professor named Carnegie Fellow From IDS reports

One IU professor will be returning to her native country of Tanzania next summer to work with the State University of Zanzibar.

Alwiya Omar, a clinical professor of linguistics in the School of Global and International Studies, was one of at least 30 people chosen by the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program, IU announced.

The fellows of the program collaborate with higher education institutions in Africa on curriculum development, training and mentoring for the next generation of scholars.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Since then, there have been more empty beds than Ipsen said he wanted to see, including a few floors on the Hill.

“In some ways, it will make the transition easier,” he said.

Ipsen said this year, 450 students are living in Collins out of a possible 540.

Returning students will be offered the first opportunity to move back into Collins next year.

“It’s true that we haven’t filled up in the last couple years,” Ipsen said.

Ipsen said this did not affect or induce Residential Programs and Services decision to close the Hill.

“There’s no causal link,” he said.

The program enables partnerships between scholars who are from Africa but now live in the United States or Canada, as well as scholars currently in Africa.

Omar will be participating in graduate student training for both master’s and doctoral levels, providing intensive teaching in the

Kiswahili Linguistics Program, according to the University.

In addition to meeting with students in person, she will also be teaching online and supervising research for graduate students.

Omar is also the director of the Swahili Flagship Center.

She has a variety of research interests including second-language acquisition, cross-cultural pragmatics and web-based language instruction.

The project she will be in while in Tanzania is one of 31 projects that pair scholars with higher education institutions across Africa.

Omar will also be working with the State University of Zanzibar’s Chancellor

Idris Ahmada Rai to explore opportunities for future cooperation, according to IU. “Collabo- Alwiya Omar ration with the State University of Zanzibar enables me to give back to my home country, Tanzania, where I was born and raised,” Omar said in the release. “I am thankful to the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship promoting further this collaboration. I am also thankful to Indiana University for the opportunities it gives to its faculty and students for global and international participation.”

into the nearby Hillcrest apartments.

He said the Department of Psychology is currently housed partially in the north wing of Hillcrest.

However, they will be moved out of the building to make room for the clubhouse equipment on the first floor and more living space on the upper floors, which currently house psychology offices.

Morrison said the Department of Psychology might have a new space already, though nothing has been confirmed at this time.

Ipsen said residents have been discussing what they want Hillcrest to be like for students and will have to have suggestions submitted to RPS by the end of September.

“We’re actually in the process of gathering more student input,” Hreha said.

Morrison said space planners have been meeting

with students to talk about Hillcrest’s new makeup.

Students, faculty and others who will be affected by these changes and new facilities are often asked for their opinions.

Hreha said the styles the students are considering are very different from the current, more closed off spaces inside the Hill.

“It looks more like an open area that is multipurposed,” he said of the latest student proposals.

He said the close community of Collins is being involved in the changes and trying to leave something that future residents make use of and enjoy.

“It shows the brightness and involvement of students here,” Hreha said.

Another loss attached to the closing of the Hill was the possibility of gender neutral bathrooms in Collins, Ipsen said.

Although there had been

talks of making gender-neutral bathrooms in the Hill, there was an insufficient demand that kept the project from being implemented, he said.

At this point, Smith Hall of Collins main quad wants to get gender-neutral bathrooms, but it is unlikely this will become policy, Hreha said.

Collins may be the most tolerant and accepting place on campus for transgender students, Ipsen said, but because the building dates back to the 1930s as an all male facility, trying to change the bathroom system would be too complicated.

While Ipsen said he would have liked to see Collins get a new building entirely, he knew that wasn’t likely to happen and instead is hopeful for a positive and smooth transition.

“I think it will be good for Collins,” he said.

An IU linguistic anthropologist will work to preserve the endangered language Ayöök spoken by a few thousand people in mountainous southern Mexico thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation.

Dan Suslak, associate professor of anthropology at IU, and Ben Levine, documentary filmmaker and director of the nonprofit organization Speaking Place, are co-principal investigators for the project, according to IU. The project, which will last two years, received a $253,393 grant as part of the Documenting Endangered Languages program, which gave 27 grants totaling $4 million to support digital documentation of more than 40 languages, according to the University.

The project will use a technique designed to create discussions centered on the community’s culture and

language through filming and encouraging the people to recall events and share ideas.

The technique is known as facilitated-feedback filming.

Ayöök is part of the MixeZoquean language family and is thought to have influence from both Maya and Aztec civilizations as well as a possible connection to Olmec civilization, according to the University.

The project aims to create an accessible high-quality archive of videos that will serve as a tool for Ayöök researchers who want to study the culture.

The use of Ayöök has declined as Totontepec, Mexico, the language’s primary location, has become less isolated, according to the University.

This revitalization project will build on research that both Suslak and Levine conducted in the area previously.

IU responds to CDC Ebola virus precautions

By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino

In light of recent Ebola outbreaks throughout several African countries, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending large universities take precautions to ensure any students or faculty who may be coming back from abroad and exposed to the Ebola virus are healthy upon reentering the campus.

The CDC has recommended taking precautions such as avoiding nonessential travel to high risk regions, preparing health care centers to deal with infectious disease and having travelers self-monitor upon returning from abroad, said Director of IU Health Center Diana Ebling.

“They keep a very close eye on this kind of thing,” IU Spokesperson Mark Land said.

Ebling said IU Health Center has been taking all necessary precautions to educate and protect IU from any potential infections of Ebola and Middle Eastern

Respiratory Syndrome.

“Prior to the CDC’s recommendation, we started taking precautions and planning,” Ebling said.

All health care providers on campus have been made aware of the symptoms and protocol that go along with treating an Ebola patient, she said. Information about the symptoms and necessary precautions for travelers to take has been posted to the health center’s website, Ebling said.

“Ebola’s not thought to be a high risk issue at this time,” Ebling said.

Ebola can only be transmitted through an exchange of fluids.

Land said IU doesn’t have any students presently at risk, as fewer than 20 students come from areas of high risk. Those students who have been in Bloomington longer than the viruses incubating period of 21 to 28 days.

Students also have not been traveling abroad in high-risk areas.

“We’ll continue to monitor the situation,” Ebling said.

Stephanie Boyles Griffin from the Humane Society of the United States speaks about alternative nonlethal methods for removal of deer around Bloomington. Griffin spoke in a meeting Tuesday at the Monroe County Convention Center.

Citizens discuss deer control

By Russell Smith rusmith@indiana.edu

Following the city council’s decision earlier this year to hire sharp shooters to kill dozens of deer near Griffy Lake Nature Preserve, advocates convened Tuesday to discuss alternative solutions to the city’s burgeoning deer problem.

The forum, in which the Bloomington Advocates for Nonviolent and Innovative Deer Stewardship spoke, was coordinated by the Humane Society of the United States.

Sandra Shapshay, an IU professor and president of the deer advocacy group, began by highlighting the key problems with the city council’s decision.

“We place value on the welfare and lives of animals,” Shapshay said. “It would be better to resolve these problems without bringing out the guns.”

Shapshay said she believes the city council failed to consider alternative solutions to the issue.

“Humane, nonlethal population control methods were never explored by the city council or the deer task force,” she said. “No city official ever invited nonlethal deer control experts to the city, even when the Humane Society of the United States offered to send someone to Bloomington.”

According to its Facebook page, the Bloomington Advocates for Nonviolent and Innovative Deer Stewardship are “Bloomington citizens advocating for humane and twenty-first century solutions that foster peaceful human-deer coexistence.”

They are a relatively new organization, having launched the page in June, using it to spread awareness about deer population control and to share endearing

photos.

Afterward, Shapshay introduced two individuals from the Humane Society who gave presentations on alternative means to control the deer population.

Stephanie Boyles Griffin, senior director of innovative wildlife management and services for the Humane Society, offered several alternatives to managing the problem, focusing mainly on the PZP vaccine, a contraceptive vaccine that would defer deer from procreating.

“This immunocontraceptive vaccine is quite elegant and has already been used successfully on whitetail deer,” she said. “In addition, PZP only costs $25 per dose, does not pass through the food chain or onto the deer’s offspring, is reversible if treatment is stopped, and is 90 percent effective.”

In addition, Griffin provided several examples of

communities across the country that have managed their deer populations using the PZP vaccine, further buttressing the argument that nonlethal deer management is feasible.

When a member of the audience asserted that PZP was not effective, Griffin admitted that PZP has never been used in an open system like Griffy Lake.

Furthermore, Griffin said the process of obtaining permission from the state is somewhat complex and reiterated her point that time is of the essence.

The city of Bloomington has already signed a $31,000 contract with White Buffalo, Inc., a firm that specializes in deer management. In August, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources approved the city council’s deer management plan, meaning sharp shooters could begin killing deer as soon as Nov. 15.

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller filed a petition Tuesday to appeal the state’s same-sex marriage case to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Tuesday was the last day for the state to file its appeal petition to be considered to be heard during the 2014-15 term, according to a press release from the Attorney General’s office.

The appeal follows last week’s ruling by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which stated that same-sex marriage bans in Indiana and Wisconsin were unconstitutional.

Six women from Indiana filed a complaint in March against their counties’ clerks and the attorney general.

They argued Indiana’s ban on same-sex marriage violated their 14th Amendment right to equal protection and due process.

The case gained attention in June after U.S. District

Court Judge Richard Young issued his ruling without stay, allowing gay Indiana couples to marry for two days before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued an emergency stay.

The appeals court heard the case Aug. 26 and issued its ruling a week later.

Appeals have also been made by Wisconsin, Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia.

“Our state, nation and all persons involved need a final, unambiguous and conclusive answer from the Supreme Court on the legal authority of states to license marriages, and we ask the court to take up this question through either our case or another case at its earliest opportunity and end the uncertainty,” Zoeller said in the release.

The Supreme Court will choose which cases it will hear for its term Sept. 29.

Case arguments for the upcoming term begin Oct. 6.

Teen arrested as suspect for July B-Line robbery From IDS reports

Bloomington police have arrested a 17-year-old male in connection with a robbery on the B-Line Trail on July 28.

The teen has also been arrested on charges of theft for shoplifting at the College Mall early in the day Monday, Sept. 8, police said.

He was transferred to the Jackson County Juvenile Detention Center, where he will remain until his hearing in Monroe County Juvenile Court.

In the July 28 incident, a female bicyclist reported a male stepped out in front of her and forced her to stop.

The person leading the attack was reportedly joined by two others when the group forced the woman to the ground at gunpoint, allegedly stealing various items, including her cell phone,

police said.

The teen’s alleged connection with the July incident came after he was detained for reportedly stealing a purse at Bloomingfoods on West Sixth Street on Monday.

BPD determined the 17-year-old was not involved in the Bloomingfoods theft.

However, police learned in an interview that he might be connected with the July 28 robbery.

Another juvenile male, 15, was arrested in connection with the purse robbery. He is also at the detention center in Jackson County, police said.

The case remains under investigation as police work to determine whether or not the juveniles are connected to the July 28 robbery and another robbery four days earlier, also on the B-Line Trail.

BuffaLouie’s promotes ‘Feline Rescue Day’ Thursday

By Tori Lawhorn vlawhorn@indiana.edu | @ToriLawhorn

IU and Bloomington community members will be able to help a multitude of exotic cat species with every breakfast, lunch or dinner purchase from BuffaLouie’s on Thursday.

From 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., when customers mention the Exotic Feline Rescue Center, a portion of their purchases will be qualified as a donation to the center.

Fifteen percent of all sales will be donated to the Center.

The EFRC, founded in 1991, aims to provide medi-

cal care, food and shelter for exotic cat species that have been abused, abandoned or left homeless, according to its website.

The center is located in Center Point, Ind., about 40 miles northwest of Bloomington and sits on 108 acres of land.

The EFRC is currently supporting 220 different cats from 24 states, EFRC volunteer Velda Boenitz said.

Some species housed at the center include tigers, lions, leopards and cougars.

The most common cats at the center are tigers, she said.

The money obtained from this fundraiser will be put toward the care of the cats, including vet care, dental care and food, Boenitz said.

“These cats eat 4,000 pounds of meat a day, so the need for fundraising is constant,” she said.

Many of the cats require additional medical care because of their living conditions in previous environments, Boenitz added.

“These cats come from awful situations,” she said.

“They often suffer from poor nutrition, dental and eye problems. At the center, we take care of that.”

The most common eye problem the cats have is cataracts, Boenitz said.

The center also provides a monthly treatment of Ivomec, a medicine that works to prevent parasites such as heartworms, according to its website.

The money raised will also be used to build new habitats for the cats.

Each new habitat costs about $25,000, she said.

In addition to raising money for the cats, Boenitz also said she hopes to educate people about exotic cat species.

“We also have to inform people about these ani-

mals,” she said. “We have to let them know that these cats are the ones that do not make good house pets.”

BuffaLouie’s owner Ed Schwartzman said BuffaLouie’s aims to help nonprofit organizations as best it can.

“We work with lots of nonprofits, and we welcome anybody,” he said.

“We try to never say no to nonprofits in terms of fundraising.”

Schwartzman said he

recognizes passion and dedication as two qualities that make a good fundraiser.

“We tend to feel as strongly towards the causes as the representatives of the organizations do,” he said.

BuffaLouie’s usually collaborate with about 30 to 50 organizations for fundraisers each year, Schwartzman said.

“We believe in giving back,” he said. “This makes for a very strong and much better community.”

AN EMMA DILEMMA

Feminism is for everyone

Don’t butt in EMMA WENNINGER is a junior in English.

CASEY FARRINGTON is a senior in political science.

Feminism is popular in part because it’s so openended.

Equality is the goal, but none of us are 100 percent sure how to get there, which is why I find my fellow Indiana Daily Student columnist Sarah Kissel’s endorsement of respectability politics somewhat concerning.

I cried during Beyonce’s Video Music Awards performance.

I could say it was because I had something in my eye, but I can’t lie to you, dear readers.

I cried because there she was, Queen Bey, standing in front of a 15-foot tall projection of the word “feminist.”

Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s voice carried over the music: “Feminist: the person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes.”

It was the most blatant endorsement of feminism by pop culture I had seen.

It seems feminism is enjoying a revival. According to an AOL market survey, 53 percent of millennial women and 47 percent of millennial men identify as feminists.

Monday, Kissel admonished the feminists of GoTopless, a Las Vegas activist group that believes women should have the right to go shirtless in public.

Kissel implied that their campaign was embarrassing to the larger movement.

“The feminism movement and all who ascribe to it need to remember that meaningful, lasting change cannot be established unless the nation takes it seriously,” she wrote.

It’s a common sentiment, even among our columnists.

But putting on a suit — or, in GoTopless’ case, a shirt — won’t automatically make the rest of the world take you seriously.

You’ll still be gay, black and/or a woman.

That just doesn’t sit right with homophobes, racists and misogynists.

We don’t deserve equality because we’re “respectable.”

We deserve equality because we’re people. It’s morally appropriate.

Posting a nude pic isn’t the most respectable thing to do, but we still let Anthony Weiner go to the doctor when he needs to.

Wanting to go topless in public isn’t even that bizarre of a request.

Women’s breasts are only considered obscene because they’ve been sexualized, despite the fact that their primary purpose is to breastfeed infants.

The prohibition on shirtless women seems to be largely arbitrary. Ankles were once thought to be too scandalous to show in public, too.

True, I’m not particularly worried about my toplessness rights either, but I don’t think “radicals” such as GoTopless are threatening feminism’s solvency as a movement.

Miley’s VMA performance didn’t stop Beyonce’s.

Feminism is big enough for every feminist.

As the movement grows, we should be careful to avoid the kind of gatekeeping that has historically left women out of boardrooms and legislatures.

Just think, we could have a topless woman president someday. casfarr@indiana.edu

ILLUSTRATION BY ROSE HARDING | IDS

Rush to get connected WE SAY: The new fraternity rush process is a breath of fresh air IU’s Interfraternity Council changed its rushing process, and the Indiana Daily Student Editorial Board couldn’t be happier.

In the past, the structure of fraternity rush could be considered a mess.

The greek chapters would set up tables in Dunn Meadow. All interested prospective members would then gather in the Meadow and wait to talk to the chapter representatives.

The problem with this process was it became a popularity contest.

Potential pledges would flock to the big frat tables, more interested in the chapters with far-reaching reputations. Smaller, lesser known fraternities were then left in the dust.

The new rush system is looking to change all of that.

Instead of moshing in Dunn Meadow, potential recruits registered for formal recruitment through IUIFC.org. On the website, recruits

can make customized profiles and research chapters before the rush process begins.

This eHarmony for frats turns out to be a great idea. It’s especially beneficial for out-of-state students, said Dylan Nash, IFC vice president of recruitment. These men are able to look up information on all 32 fraternities. They can then make a wellinformed decision regarding the rest of their recruitment.

The second rush change occurred during the weekend. Rush groups of 20-30 students visited each fraternity for 30 minutes where they talked with the brothers.

This is where a big chunk of the bias in the former rush process vanishes. The guys can’t just collect around a few select tables.

They have to visit each one, giving each chapter a fair and equal opportunity to sell itself.

It’s also fairer to the recruits, who

get to pitch themselves to each chapter and find the one that is truly best suited for them.

The process continues this week.

Recruits and current fraternity brothers participated in games and sports Monday, and recruits joined brothers in various philanthropy events Tuesday.

Today, each chapter will have an individual open event. Recruits can attend as many as they would like.

Unstructured recruitment resumes Thursday, and fraternities may have as many events as they wish and will contact recruits individually.

The changes are a positive adjustment to a community on campus that is easily looked down on as superficial and unfair.

The Editorial Board sees a lot of promise in these changes and hopes the Interfraternity Council will continue applying them.

Ray Rice was a player for the Baltimore Ravens until a video surfaced of him and his wife in a fight that culminated in him hitting her so hard he knocked her unconscious.

Now, Janay Rice, the wife in question, has spoken out, demanding privacy and a little bit of slack. While I question some of her reasoning, frankly, I don’t find it to be a bad thing.

This was not the first time Ray Rice was in the hot seat for domestic violence. He was suspended from two games when the video first surfaced, depicting him dragging Janay Rice across a floor before hitting her.

Ray Rice’s actions aside, Janay Rice has been lashing back. She said her husband’s indefinite suspension from the NFL was cruel and that her family needed privacy.

There has been some speculation as to the NFL’s own reaction to the scandal.

The NFL did change their domestic violence policies when the video initially surfaced. However, they did not suspend Rice indefinitely until when TMZ got a hold of the footage, and the video went viral.

I can’t fault Janay Rice for defending him, and while it is clear that she has been abused, I want to call on media outlets and general public opinion when I say that her relationship with her husband is not what we should be focusing on.

Abusive situations are delicate and tempestuous.

Laws are faulty at best.

To point out what seems obvious is not the best course of action simply because for abuser and abused, the problem does not immediately present itself.

More than that, overt speculation and rumormongering could irreparably damage Janay Rice and/ or anyone else involved in her private marital problems.

Janay Rice is not doing anything that is not expected. And there are patterns of behavior we will probably see from her that don’t make any sense to us.

We need to take the focus off of her so that she can move forward and so that we can take a serious look at domestic violence policies wherever they are needed.

Whatever the Rices’ marriage ultimately becomes, the fact that it has forced the NFL to take a look at the domestic violence policies in its system is not a bad outcome.

Granted, it seems dodgy that NFL officials only changed their policies and suspended a player after there was a public outcry for it.

You would think helping another human being would be obvious. Regardless, a public institution revising domestic violence policies will hopefully inspire others to do the same.

That is what we need to be focusing on right now, not their marriage or “saving” Janay Rice.

Its not our place. It is her family’s and her decision.

But we can make sure that abusers are punished, public figures remain honorable and we work to protect the next victim. ewenning@indiana.edu

A HOMAN MOMENT

Beanpoles, beefcakes When New York Fashion Week kicks off Thursday, two different embodiments of the male figure will be under scrutinized debate on the subject of manliness: beanpole dudes and beefcake bros.

I certainly know nothing of the fashion realm, and I don’t pretend to, but I am aware of the effect fashion has on people’s perception.

The fashion/beauty industries have done excellent work marketing the binary mentality that simplifies people based on their outward appearance into two categories: hegemonic (beautiful) and non-hegemonic (not beautiful).

This is a particularly damaging binary to men and women alike.

You could ask just about any woman you know, and she’ll tell you what she’s surmised from growing up as a girl: if you’re not pretty, your femininity will constantly be called into question.

The parallel for having grown up a boy is something like, if you’re not strong, your masculinity will be threatened and ridiculed.

Basically, if you don’t have a very specific set of characteristics with the right dimensions, you won’t be considered attractive on the whole.

Subject yourself to enough beauty marketing, and it’s absolutely likely that you’ll forget there are people out there who are neither beefcakes nor beanpoles.

That’s the blissful unawareness that comes with not paying attention to what is fashionable. There are no standards with which to be concerned.

I’m not saying these fashionably oblivious types have all the answers, but most of them have a tacit understanding simply from not having participated in the fashion goose-chase. People are more complicated and nuanced than to be categorized into only two different

MICHAEL HOMAN is a senior in journalism.

archetypes.

There are those of you reading this who already know what I’m talking about.

Men often find difficulty in understanding the pressure women feel to appear a certain way, having never been sexualized for display and analysis.

Historically, beefcakes have always been more sought after than the beanpole for sheer strength and size alone.

For thin guys, their strength, or lack thereof, is highlighted as their greatest defect. Naturally, if you don’t fit within the hegemonic model of masculinity, you will find yourself questioning what it means to be masculine.

Of course, there are margins to consider. If you’re emaciated to the point that the clothes you wear have nothing to hang on, that may not be healthy.

Likewise, if you can’t fit your chiseled muscles into your clothes anymore, I think you might be good for a while — there’s a difference between maintaining weight and never finding satisfaction.

Masculinity has next to nothing to do with whether you fit in one category or not.

If being masculine means a lot to you, don’t allow anyone to define your masculinity for you.

The hegemonic archetypes of masculine and feminine beauty are probably here to stay. We should take caution in boiling down such definitive qualities to strictly two options.

It’s hard to accept people when they can be only one of two ways. It can be much harder living when you think you have to be either. mchoman@indiana.edu

BANK ON IT

Remembering Joan I think it’s time to talk about Joan Rivers.

The 81-year-old comedian and television host died Thursday after complications during a surgical procedure on her throat.

When a celebrity dies, everyone likes to put in their two cents.

We all can’t wait to tell the world how much we’ll miss this person we probably never met.

We tweet our favorite quotes from them. We make Facebook posts about the effect this person had on our lives.

We share links of their movies and songs, pepper the Internet with their faces.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen some pretty horrible things on the Internet about Joan Rivers’ death.

I’ve seen people discouraging others from mourning her, saying it’s a blessing that she’s gone. People have called her a bitch, racist and misogynist.

Rivers wasn’t always the nicest or most sensitive person, but she doesn’t deserve that kind of disrespect.

People judge Rivers based off what they know about her now. They look at her job with “Fashion Police” and label her a superficial misogynist for her cracks at fashion choices and body shapes.

A primary example would be in 2013 when Rivers made some comments about Adele’s weight, which many didn’t take easily.

Adele demanded an apology, but Rivers stuck to her guns.

What people don’t understand is that Rivers paved the way for today’s female comedians. She was a leader on the road to feminism.

But to know that, you would have to look at her old work.

Rivers started out performing standup around New York City. A booking on the “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” was her big break.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Stay lean and green on campus Starting college can be an exciting yet daunting experience.

It’s not surprising that, with all the stress that comes with it, many new students gain the dreaded freshman 15.

A study published in Nutrition Journal found that nearly a quarter of freshmen gain at least 5 percent of their body weight during their first semester, an average of about 10 whopping pounds in just a few months.

In an effort to help students look and feel great, the movement toward offering more plant-based meals is taking root on college campuses nationwide.

In fact, there are more than 200 universities leading the charge with Meatless Monday programs in their dining halls.

Why take a weekly holiday from meat?

In recent decades, our meat consumption has increased dramatically — and along with it, our waistlines, blood pressure and cholesterol.

Meat is high in saturated fat, which is associated with obesity and preventable chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, some cancers and stroke.

A study by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health found that there is a strong association between meat consumption and obesity.

A review published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concluded, “(A) plant-based diet seems to be a

sensible approach for the prevention of obesity.”

Even if we can’t switch to a completely plant-based diet, we can make incremental changes.

Kaiser Permanente is one of the nation’s largest health care and insurance providers.

It recently published a “Plant-Based Diet” guide that states, “Any movement toward more plants and fewer animal products can improve your health.”

Eating more healthy plant-based meals not only helps our physical health but can also lighten our carbon footprint.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, animal agriculture is “one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems at every scale from local to global.”

Factory farms — where nearly all of our meat comes from — are major culprits in climate change.

These animal factories create huge amounts of manure that pollute the soil, water and air.

And of course, reducing the amount of meat we eat is good for animals, too.

The fewer animals we raise for food means less pressure on animal agriculture to raise them in cruel and intensive ways.

For example, large demand for

meat has led to the practice of genetically manipulating chickens to grow so obese so fast that many can’t even walk more than a few steps before collapsing.

To help animals, the Humane Society of the United States advocates the Three Rs: “reducing” or “replacing” consumption of animal products and “refining” our diets by switching to products from sources that adhere to higher animal welfare standards.

Thankfully, it’s never been easier to take a positive step toward safeguarding our health, while also protecting the planet and helping animals. Choosing simple, delicious options once a week can make a big difference.

How about swapping those chicken nuggets with meat-free nuggets? Or choosing veggie and bean burritos instead of carnitas burritos?

Eating out is easy, too.

With options like Chipotle and Denny’s serving up hearty meat-free fare and with Indian, Thai and Mexican restaurants that regularly offer delicious plant-based dishes, the options are endless.

Bon appétit!

Eddie Garza Food policy coordinator for The Humane Society of the United States. egarza@humanesociety.org

LETTER TO THE EDITOR She became his permanent guest host in 1983. In 1986 she became the host of “The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers,” making her the first woman to be host of her own late night talk show.

These were all huge steps for women.

Much of Rivers’ material was about the absurd differences between men and women. She remarked on the hypocritical views of single men versus single women, such as the stress put on women to get married.

And, of course, she poked fun at celebrities, which has built her a sturdy reputation.

No one was safe from Rivers’ scrutiny, including herself.

Self-deprecation was a key component of her comedy.

She made fun of her love life, her age and her extensive plastic surgery.

Rivers didn’t always stay on the straight and narrow path of harmless comedy.

She hit hard.

Sometimes she just went for the kill. She hurt feelings. She offended people.

She infuriated many, and she was completely unapologetic about it.

Some might find that a fault, but I respected her greatly for it.

Rivers never let anyone else’s criticisms get to her even as she made a profit criticizing others.

She was a perfect example of being yourself, sticking to your beliefs and not giving a damn about what anyone else had to say.

She worked hard to build her career in times when women had to fight for every little inch.

In that light, I believe she was a great role model, and I am not ashamed to say I will miss her. lnbanks@indiana.edu

Taking all sides into acccount IU’s efforts to do more to protect the victims of sexual assault and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice are praiseworthy. But in this effort, IU must be careful to not victimize innocent people.

The Barack Obama regime has been pushing universities to embrace a clearly illegal “preponderance of the evidence” standard in university disciplinary procedures regarding sexual assault.

The traditional standard abandoned by the Obama regime is that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

See this statement from Cornell University’s law school on the importance of the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard.

“The due process clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, ’(protect) the accused against conviction

except upon proof beyond a reasonable doubt of every fact necessary to constitute the crime with which he is charged.’

The reasonable doubt standard plays a vital role in the American scheme of criminal procedure.

It is a prime instrument for reducing the risk of convictions resting on factual error.”

Sexual assault is terrible, but the fact of the matter is that false reports do happen.

The two most obvious examples are Tawana Brawley and Crystal Gail Mangum, but we saw this locally when a 19-year-old IU student fabricated a kidnapping and “rape” in March 2007.

According to the March 30, 2007, Herald-Times, she recanted her story and admitted that she “engaged in consensual sex with a man at a local motel.”

What if she had not recanted her story and an innocent man had been criminally prosecuted for a crime that never happened? What if the falsely accused man was another student subjected to university discipline for a crime that never happened?

It does no good to anyone to abandon due process in the interest of protecting victims, and as a state institution, IU is not permitted to use the illegal “preponderance of the evidence” standard. IU has a moral and legal obligation to disobey the Obama regime’s clearly illegal mandate.

The mark of a true patriot is to stand against the Obama regime’s efforts to take away students’ rights under the Constitution.

OUR CHANGED WORLD

The immigration bait and switch We know that in this great nation not taking an action still says a lot about someone.

While it may not be apparently obvious, as we all learned in microeconomics, there is always the option of not doing anything at all.

And that can have tragic consequences.

Lost amid the late summer drama of the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 plane crash and the civil unrest in Ferguson, was the nation’s crisis on immigration.

Lest we need a reminder, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants have trekked, rode or snuck into the United States under the impression they would not be deported if they made it to American soil.

Not withstanding the irony that a misreading of Pres-

ident Barack Obama’s own executive orders, signed in late June, led to this mess, the administration has been left stumbling over having to deal with a crisis on a very sensitive issue.

It could risk Obama’s rather tenuous standing with the Hispanic population.

It jeapordizes his relationship with both the children of immigrant families and children who are born to illegal aliens in the States. Or the groups that try to help them, as this has become a hot-button topic in the last few years.

That’s not the only issue.

Obama still seeks to maintain his standing among that community, first pledging executive action in June to help stem the tide of immigration To that effect, the president has found a solution in punting the issue until after

the midterm elections. Republicans then look bad for supposedly not doing anything, when the real culprit is the Obama administration.

It’s a brilliant political move. It places allows the issue to become general.

As I have said before, nobody is willing to work with an administration that decides it is fully within its power to rewrite the laws as established by Congress.

Of course the president has that authority, but it does nothing to ease tensions between opposing parties.

Nor is it good for interparty relations when the deplorable status quo continues to allow Democrats to continually play the race issue while failing to provide any sort of actual relief or solution to the problem.

Republicans in state gov-

MICHAEL SU is a junior in violin performance.

ernments have been forced to find their own solutions to the problem, with mixed results.

It is clear to me that Democrats simply wish to continue their eternal carrot-andstick game to get minority turnout while keeping the real issues at bay in a neverending cycle.

As long as this goal is tantalizingly almost within reach, the president seems content to play the part of Tom the Cat, leading Jerry around with a piece of cheese on a fishing pole while never actually giving it to him. mjsu@indiana.edu

Ellis — more affectionately called “Vee” by friends — is a self-described perfectionist.

Growing up, she said she didn’t just want to be good at things. She wanted to be the best.

As a kid, Ellis played on a park district team that her friend’s father coached. Her friend — who had been working with her dad — was better at dribbling than the other kids on the youth league team.

Ellis wouldn’t have that.

“Mom, teach me to dribble,” she almost instantly told her mother.

“It’s just sort of a ridiculous thing,” Ellis said, laughing at her 7-year-old self. “I don’t know why. I just always wanted to be better.”

Ellis’ drive to be perfect helped her quickly climb through the ranks of youth soccer leagues.

In high school in Naperville, Ill., Ellis was a soccer standout. She quickly caught the attention of IU’s coaches at a recruiting camp in Bloomington during her sophomore year of high school.

She said that camp put her on the IU radar.

Big Ten soccer was a dream league. Indiana was the dream location.

But Ellis had a setback.

She tore her ACL in July before her junior year.

“That was one of my toughest times,” Ellis said. “I knew then that not everything was going to be perfect.”

“To be honest with you, I thought I was done,” Ellis said.

Ellis tore her ACL playing in an Olympic Development Program match in July 2011.

She was sandwiched

between two opposing players. There was hardly any contact. Ellis said she didn’t even feel much pain.

Kowalski was there. The incident wasn’t violent, just a soccer play that would have happened hundreds of times on the field that day.

“Everyone was like, ‘come on, get up,’” she said. “We didn’t even think she was hurt.”

But Ellis had heard the pop as she went down to the ground. She said she knew something was wrong.

First, medical trainers said nothing was wrong with her.

Then it was sprained.

Then it was partially torn.

“It just kind of kept spiraling until finally, it was a full tear,” Ellis said.

The tear came at one of the worst possible times for Ellis, who was in the midst of a heavy recruiting period.

She thought the injury would turn prospective coaching staffs away.

An ACL injury for a midfielder is a significant red flag.

Ellis wasn’t even sure she’d be able to make a full recovery.

“I told my mom I didn’t think I had a shot anymore.” she said.

After a month of physical therapy to reduce swelling enough to operate, Ellis had surgery Aug. 4, 2011.

Her patellar tendon was used to repair her ACL, and she immediately began recovering in physical therapy.

She trained alongside a 30-year-old patient who was also recovering from an ACL injury.

Ellis, still competitive as always, would test herself against her new friend. The two would push each other to do more in the workout facilities.

Throughout the entire recovery process, IU stayed behind Ellis. On Dec. 7, just five months after tearing her ACL, Ellis was medically cleared to play again.

And just as she was cleared, Ellis committed to IU. * * * As a reserve, Ellis doesn’t get the chance to score many goals.

But when she does, she has a knack for scoring them

when the stakes are high.

Ellis has four goals in 28 appearances as a Hoosier. All four have been game winners.

“Vee’s a winner,” Berbary said. “She’s very competitive, and when she gets her chances, she makes the most of them.”

Berbary said Ellis has one of the toughest roles on the team.

As a reserve, Ellis’ time is never set in stone. When Berbary needs to make a lineup change, she goes to Ellis.

“It’s one of the hardest things as a collegiate athlete to be able to capitalize as a substitute,” Berbary said. “But nine times out of ten, Vee is going to go in and do that for us.” * * * Ellis admits her confidence wasn’t quite where it needed to be in the early stages of the season.

“This year, I was kind of unsure of how I was playing ... unsure how I was doing,” Ellis said. “But I know I’ve got to take any chance I can get.

You’ve got to step up if you’re called upon.”

With the Big Ten season set to begin against Ohio State at 7 p.m. Friday at Armstrong Stadium, Ellis could once again be called on with the game on the line.

She’ll warm up the way she always does, waiting for Berbary to call her number.

It’s an imperfect formula for a player who calls herself a perfectionist.

The competitive midfielder who can’t stand losing needs to wait for her chance to help her team win.

Right before Ellis takes the field, Berbary will give her a quick instruction. Never long.

It’s usually only a short phrase like “go hard,” or “win the next ball.”

“She’s got a ton of potential,” Berbary said. “She’s got all the leadership qualities, an infectious personality. People look up to her, and we look to her for big plays.

“She’s very humble. She works tirelessly to get that playing time and never expects anything to be given to her. When she gets into the game, she makes the most of it.”

Associate Scientist, Dr. Alex Straiker, recently won an art contest at WonderLab for his image of a neuron. His interest in neuroscience began with his quest to discover how humans think and why they do what they do.

Microscopic art Associate Scientist Dr. Alex Straiker blends science and art with brain images

By Camille Sarabia camilleesarabiaa@indiana.edu | @camille_sarabia

Two years ago in the basement of Myers Hall, IU neuroscience researcher Alex Straiker stood over a microscope.

The image he created would later win the People’s Choice Award at the WonderLab Museum of Science, Health and Technology.

He looked at the image before him, applied his staining techniques and waited for the result.

At the time, he didn’t know how it would turn out. He didn’t stain with deliberate attempts to create beauty, but what he saw had to be shared.

“I thought, ‘OK, scientifically, this isn’t too useful, but it’s beautiful,’” Alex Straiker said, and he set out to capture the images.

Straiker’s primary focus is in brain research, specifically with the effect of cannabinoids, brain receptors and their relations with marijuana.

His art is created from a system of labeling and marking. Instead of highlighting a page, Straiker marked each given area with a color.

“One way to visualize is to use microscopy and florescent microscopy,” he said. “We use a technique called amino-ester chemistry which allows us to label where things are specifically. You can see where a given cell is located. If you have other defined markers, we can say, ‘OK, this marks the cell membrane,’ so that you get this understanding for what you want, and you get a relationship between the two.”

Within the past 10 years, Straiker said he has witnessed considerable changes in the ways art and science continue to come together.

“There’s been a big change in the types of available tools for imaging,” Straiker said. “It’s gotten better with the color. Suddenly, we’re finding that we have these beautiful images on our hands. It’s often, though, not a direct correlation that the most beautiful ones are the ones with the least scientific value. It shouldn’t necessarily be that way.” * * * In addition to his research at IU, Straiker is the main organizer of Science Café, where he aims to merge scientists and the general public to engage in research related topics.

“The idea there is to explicitly build bridges between the scientific community and non-scientists,” Straiker said. “There is this huge gap, and if anything, it’s getting more and more

pronounced. At the WonderLab exhibit, there was a real effort to do that.”

Straiker said the exhibit, which was formed around the idea of the “Nano World” of things microscopic and small, is definitely something to see.

The WonderLab places a great influence on the connection between science and art.

“Both disciplines use some of the same skills of observation, gathering data and interpreting information to help understand the world,” Associate Executive Director Karen JepsonInnes said.

WonderLab has always been invested in bridging the gap between science and art, Jepson-Innes said.

She referenced past WonderLab activities such as children drawing “hissing” cockroaches and giant millipedes.

“There’s so many connections, and that’s the way WonderLab sees the world,” she said. “We don’t really see two separate disciplines, but people tend to think of art and science differently. We try to break down that

barrier.”

To Jepson-Innes, the relation between art and science started before cameras and microscopes existed. It started with scientific illustration of the body and the organisms around us, she said.

“Scientific illustrations are very beautiful, and it’s hard to say if they’re a work of art or if it’s a scientific document,” Jepson-Innes said. “I think the microscope work has taken that idea to the most current level. Microscopes and technology allow us to view the world in an unprecedented way.”

However, Jepson-Innes said scientists creating art from microscopic work clearly have an aesthetic recognition, and it shows in their art.

“We had a committee made up of working artists and working scientists to judge the submissions,” she said. * * * Hung along WonderLab’s wide staircase is the “Nano Art” exhibit, where, among the selections, is Alex

Those who visit linger on the staircase and stand as their eyes absorb the swirling green lines, fiery red orange filling up the portrait and the small turquoise nuggets nestled between each line.

That image isn’t just lines and circles. They’re neurons. It’s a glimpse into the human brain.

Straiker’s said his goal as a scientist and appreciator of art is to educate about beauty in a way that anyone can understand.

“A lot of people feel that it’s science, and say ‘I can’t understand it. This is not for me, it’s for someone else,’” he said. “I think getting past that is important.”

Jacobs hires new professor From IDS reports

The IU Jacobs School of Music has recruited a new and experienced staff member to its lineup.

D. James Tagg has just been hired as an assistant professor of the recording arts for the Jacobs School of Music.

Tagg joined the faculty this fall semester and will be teaching classes this semester at Jacobs.

Tagg has a history in the music field. He has spent 15 years practicing and performing as a singer, pianist and saxophonist.

These experiences eventually lead him to a career in recording arts and teaching.

He received his bach-

elor’s degree in music from the University of Miami, and he received his master’s degree in music from the University of Massachusetts Lowell, according to a press release.

Having acquired knowledge in the audio engineering field, he was formally the senior recording engineer at the Aspen Music Festival and chief audio engineer for the Hot Springs Music Festival.

He recorded three Grammy-nominated albums for Miami-based choir Seraphic Fire.

Tagg formerly taught at the State University of New York Oneonta, University of Massachusetts Lowell and Syracuse University.

“I am thrilled that Jamie is joining the faculty at the Jacobs School,” said Konrad Strauss, chair of the recording arts department, in a press release. “His passion for teaching will be an invaluable asset to our department, and his professional experience along with his knowledge of audio theory and technology will help us better prepare our students for success after graduation.”

Tagg worked as a research specialist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a consultant for THAT media and a product specialist for Benchmark Media.

Tagg’s research focuses on spatial realism and acoustic envelopment in

sound recordings, according to his website.

He developed a new stereo recording technique, Stereo Technique for Augmented Ambience Gradient.

Tagg also developed digital signal processing tools that are used by TV manufacturers to enhance the special width from flat-screen television speakers.

IU’s Department of Recording Arts is known as one of the top leading recording programs in the country.

It emphasizes hands-on production experience with 50 students who provide audio and video production support for the school.

Hive, set to open February 2015, will be Bloomington’s newest edition to the late-night bar and club scene.

Though the nightclub will join the likes of Kilroy’s, the Bluebird Nightclub and other hot spots, its founder, Ron Patton, said it will be a unique experience.

Patton, an IU junior, said the Hive will set itself apart from the traditional bar scene by being a trendier nightclub venue on the weekend and a restaurant during the week and weekend days.

With the lack of a clubbing scene in Bloomington and an open venue, Patton said he felt like students needed somewhere where they could go to dance and see live performances.

Planning for the new club began in January of this year.

Patton and his business partners developed multiple business plans for the club.

“People are going to drink or do whatever they want to do at the bars and all that good stuff, but people want to dance, and they want to, you know, get dressed up and do things or be really casual and see bigger performances,” Patton said.

Equipped with a large dance floor, Patton said the Hive’s venue, located at 419 N. Walnut St., will be able to accommodate more people and larger musical performances than other venues in Bloomington.

The dance floor at the new location will be

the largest of any club in Southern Indiana.

“It’s fairly large. It’s easily the largest, most efficient dance floor in Bloomington. I’m going to bring in bigger artist, better artist,” Patton said.

Aiming to have three to four shows a month, Patton said he hopes to use Twitter to find out who students want to see.

“I hope that every single show is a different genre so that we have different crowds because we have over 40,000 students going here, and not everyone likes rap, and not everyone likes rock and all that stuff,” Patton said.

Along with big-name performers, Patton said the Hive’s team also hopes to bring in local bands, have 18-plus nights and karaoke.

By day, the Hive will transform into an upscale bar and grill, serving gourmet food.

The menu will include classic college and American style foods like wings, pizza and burgers.

Entree prices will likely range from $9 to $13.

Patton and his partners Jordan Reusser, Kevin Tepool and Chris Irak are using crowd-sourcing to fund part of the Hive’s opening.

Patton hopes students will invest in the Hive and feel like they own a part of the nightclub.

“I’m an IU student.

This place is for IU students, and as far as I’m concerned, it should be owned by IU students,” Patton said.

Information about the Hive’s opening can be found on its website beetownhive.com or its Twitter @BeeTownHive.

Tofu shirataki noodles are 10 calories and have three grams of carbs per serving, making them a healthier noodle option.

Grocery find of the week: tofu shirataki noodles If you’re a huge fan of noodles, but you’re looking for a healthier option, I have great news for you.

With 10 calories and three grams of carbohydrates per serving, Tofu Shirataki noodles are arguably the most guilt-free noodles on the market.

The noodles are a great alternative for pasta-lovers who are looking to eat healthier, and it can be used with almost any sauce you would normally use on your pasta.

So what’s in these noodles, anyway? Well, the pasta alternative is made from blending two things: tofu and the root of the Konnyaku, which is a member of the yam family.

While it tastes a lot like rice noodles, this pasta substitute is a little different from the pasta you’re probably used to.

It’s a little bit more bouncy and slippery than the noodles you would

normally find in the pasta section, but the upside to that is it takes much less time to cook.

They’re versatile because you can microwave them or you can choose to bake or fry them in a skillet.

They can also be eaten raw after a quick rinse. Not bad for a substitute, if you ask me.

One of the best things about this noodle substitute is it comes in so many different forms and shapes.

You can find it as angel hair, spaghetti and fettuccine.

Technically, half the bag constitutes as one serving of these noodles, but don’t feel guilty about eating the second half because that’s only 40 calories.

Even though the Tofu Shirataki noodles are clearly pasta’s cousin, you won’t find them in the pasta aisle at your local grocery story.

You’ll actually find them in the refrigerated section

ALEXIS BENEVISTE is a senior in journalism.

among the tofu and other tofu-based products.

Don’t be scared off by their packaging. These noodles are not sold dry like pasta commonly is.

Instead, they are typically stored in a liquid that keeps them fresh.

To prepare them, all you need to do is get the noodles out of the package and give them a strong rinse to loosen the noodles from one another.

After that, shake out as much water as possible in a colander and serve.

This week I prepared Tofu Shirataki noodles with tofu that I baked in a honey balsamic glaze and some baked broccoli.

Try that at home or experiment on your own with this amazingly versatile, healthy food. apbenven@indiana.edu

Northwestern football player penalized Northwestern football player C.J. Robbins was ejected from a game Sept. 6 after striking an opposing player.

The Big Ten conference announced Tuesday that Robbins would be suspended for one

game and issued him a public reprimand.

Robbins’ ejection is one of many examples Coach Pat Fitzgerald gave of his team’s lack of discipline this season. The Wildcats are 0-2 for the first time in Fitzgerald’s nine seasons.

Hoosier hockey teams prepare for season

By Andrew Vailliencourt availlie@indiana.edu | @AndrewVcourt

The IU hockey program could use some extra cash.

The team is hoping someone like Mark Cuban will have some to spare for a new arena, said players on the division three team.

Because of a lack of funds, there is no division one Big Ten conference hockey team at IU, but there is a division two and division three team that are both essentially club teams.

The D-3 team had its tryouts this past week and will start its season Sept.

19 against McKendree University.

The team is under direction of newly hired Coach Rich Gordon, who previously coached seven seasons at Columbus High School and had a record of 198-111-29.

In those seven years, he won one Indiana state championship and appeared in four state title games.

Gordon will run all on-ice activities, such as practices. The team practices twice a week and plays about 30 games each season.

All the off-ice activities are run by students, namely the organization’s President Cody Reiff and Vice President Nick Kleva.

“The guys are great,” Kle-

va said. “It’s awesome just to be hanging around the guys, and that experience and forming relationships is the best part.”

The difference between the D-2 and D-3 teams is the cost players pay and the total number of games played.

The D-3 team plays about half as many games, and each player pays roughly $1,500, compared to the higher total for the D-2 squad, Kleva said.

The D-3 team plays its home games at Frank Southern Ice Arena, which is on the south side of Bloomington.

On Oct. 3, the team will have its first home game against Ball State, which, along with IU, Purdue and IPFW, make up the brand new Indiana Collegiate Hockey Conference.

In partnership with Collegiate Charities and Dropping the Puck on Cancer, the Hoosiers are calling this night “Pink the Rink,” and money from ticket sales will go to help breast cancer research.

Kleva said ticket prices have not been set but will likely be between $5 and $15 and will include food and other items.

“This is Collegiate Charities’ fall semester premier event,” Reiff said. “We are really excited to be a part of

it.”

The team hopes a large number of students make it out to the game to support a good cause and root them on against the in-state rival Cardinals.

“Our rink is small, so it gets loud, which makes for a real fun environment,” Reiff

said. “It’s different than going to a basketball game or football game like everyone has been to, so I’d encourage people to come try something new.”

The Big Ten conference will go into its second year of having its own hockey conference this season and

has six members: Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Penn State.

Penn State began its program in the 2012-13 season.

IU, since it does not have an NCAA D-1 team, is not a part of this conference.

A pair of Hoosiers earn Big Ten accolades

Ray Rice incident can’t become a common occurrence Seeing is believing.

No truer was that axiom than on the morning of Sept.

8 when TMZ leaked footage of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancée inside an Atlantic City elevator.

The new footage preceded the tape that was released in February, the tape that captured Rice dragging Janay Rice out of the elevator seconds after the blow.

She was unconscious. She had only one shoe.

It didn’t take any stretch of the imagination to realize what had transpired inside that elevator. Ray Rice punched the woman who would shortly after become his wife.

The Ravens knew it. The NFL knew it. The public knew it.

He knocked her hard enough that she remained unconscious while being dragged out of an elevator, for crying out loud.

Yet on Monday, video evidence of Rice’s transgressions changed everything.

The Ravens cut Rice immediately. The NFL suspended him indefinitely.

Twitter condemned him irrevocably.

But why should the video change anything? Wasn’t the knowledge that Rice hit his fiancée enough?

The visual didn’t tell Ravens Coach John Harbaugh or NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell anything they didn’t already know.

But what it did reveal is that, as a society, we continue to propagate an invisible

TORI ZIEGE is a sophomore in journalism.

affliction.

Domestic abuse often never leaves the home. Bruises are covered, concealed and strategically placed as to be hidden from the public eye.

In the case of Rice, it is easy to see who supplied the cover-up.

The Ravens organization had ample opportunities to shed light on the issue of domestic abuse.

Instead, they “stood behind” Rice — thus condoning his behavior — and asked Janay Rice to share the blame.

“Janay Rice says she deeply regrets the role she played in the night of the incident,” was the statement issued from the Baltimore Ravens’ Twitter account May 23.

The post was deleted Monday.

In June, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell followed suit with Baltimore, slapping the flimsiest of restraints on Rice in the form of a two-game suspension.

He is lucky to have the elevator footage — which he claimed not to have seen along with the public — as a scapegoat.

“If the NFL had seen that video and suspended Ray Rice two games, it’s an embarrassment of the highest proportion,” NFL Insider Adam Schefter said on Monday’s “SportsCenter.”

No, it’s an embarrassment

of that process,” Reiff said.

“But somebody has to come and give us a few million dollars to do that.”

“If Mark Cuban or anyone else out there wants to give us a few million, we’d be happy to take it. But until that happens, we’ll stay at the club level.”

of the highest proportion, period.

Knowing an act of domestic abuse occurred and seeing it occur are one in the same. But for the visually-inclined public, there are ways to show support for victims of domestic abuse.

Through the national white ribbon campaign, men can display a white ribbon to identify themselves as role models for respecting wom-

en and girls.

And for victims of domestic abuse — female or male — the Bloomington community offers shelter through the Middle Way House and counseling through IU Counseling and Psychological Services.

The 2014 NFL season kicked off this weekend. It was supposed to be about watching touchdowns and victory dances.

To see what Emma Wenninger says about Janay Rice, see page 4.

All people who stand behind the NFL have an obligation, now more than ever, to protect and safeguard victims of domestic abuse.

The first step is seeing not what we want to see, or what is easiest to see, but what we already know is there.

For the second consecutive week, IU sophomore goalkeeper Colin Webb was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week.

Senior Patrick Doody joined him as the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week.

Webb’s award comes after a weekend in which he led IU to a Mike Berticelli Memorial Tournament title by posting two shutouts.

Webb did not record a save in Friday’s 1-0 win against Kentucky, but was instrumental in keeping the ball out of the back of the net in Monday’s 1-0 win against Dartmouth.

Webb made four saves against Dartmouth, a game in which Doody scored the lone goal in the third minute.

It was Doody’s first goal of the season and IU’s first goal originating from a set piece this season. Doody also attempted three shots in IU’s win against Kentucky.

This is the first time in Doody’s career that he has been named Offensive Player of the Week by the Big Ten. Both Webb and Doody, who have played every minute this season, were also named to the Mike Berticelli All-Tournament Team, where they were joined by senior Dylan Lax and sophomore Billy McConnell.

She said the shapes and arrangement of the image were visually pleasing to the three decision makers: the museum representative, the scientist and the artist.

Secondly were the color choices. Straiker didn’t have control over where the cells would be, but he did control his color choice.

“Thirdly, it was interesting biologically, and the microscopy was very well done,” Jepson-Innes said. “The resolution, sharpness of the image and the care of the tissue preparation was of high quality.”

Altogether, Straiker submitted 15 pieces of his work, where 14 images were selected from 48 submissions. * * * From the decoration of Straiker’s office, it’s clear to see where his passions lie: right in the middle of science and art. He called himself an intermediate and a middleman.

“A lot of artists have statements about what their art means, but I don’t,” Straiker said. “I don’t interpret it. I just think it’s beautiful.”

His office in the Multidisciplinary Science Building Phase II labels him as a scientist, but the artwork, covering every inch of wall space, says otherwise.
