Dancers rehearse their choreography for the Jacobs School of Music’s Fall Ballet Tuesday evening at the Musical Arts Center.
Step in time Jacobs School of Music’s Fall Ballet visualizes music, presents work and styles of three choreographers By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601bm
Junior Colin Ellis said Jacobs School of Music’s Fall Ballet is not just about the steps. “My favorite aspect of dance is not even the dancing part of it — it’s the music,” Ellis said. “It’s the ability to use music and interpreting it in a way that you can’t speak. It can be very powerful.” Ellis is pursuing a bachelor of science in ballet performance. He is also a dancer in the Fall Ballet. The Fall Ballet is subtitled “Three Iconic Choreographers,” and it features the work of
Twyla Tharp, George Balanchine and Paul Taylor. The ballet is at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the Musical Arts Center. The first part of the ballet is Tharp’s “Surfer at the River Styx.” Artistic Director and Chair of the ballet department Michael Vernon said it has a modern record score, unlike the other two pieces, which are performed by an orchestra. Freshman Nicholas Gray is in the ensemble of Tharp’s piece. He said it has been interesting learning a piece in such a different style than classical ballet. “I really love the style and the energy of this piece,” Gray said. “It just
moves really fast-paced, and in the end, all of a sudden, it’s this beautiful music and it gets slow.” The next piece is “Concerto Barocco” by famous choreographer Balanchine. It features Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Double Violin Concerto.” Vernon said “Concerto Barocco” is meant to be a visualization of the music. One ballerina dances to one violin, another ballerina dances to the other violin and the corps de ballet, or the group of dancers that are not soloists, dances to the orchestra. SEE BALLET, PAGE 6

Tri-fold posters covered in pictures circled the Frangipani Room of the Indiana Memorial Union. The photos showed Hoosiers abroad and across the United States all working toward the same goal — making a difference. IU’s first Alternative Break Fair took place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday as a part of the new Hoosier Alternative Breaks Program within Student Life and Learning. An alternative break allows students to spend their time off from school engaged in a service trip centered on social justice issues. The fair brought together organizations with service opportunities to connect students to programs and introduce organizations to other organizations doing similar things. Anna Archer, community engagement graduate adviser in Student Life and Learning, coordinated the fair in conjunction with a team from Student Life and Learning. She said at least 20 student organizations participate in service trips and more than 30 trips are available this year. “We really want to create a network for alternative break experiences and also just raise
There are 72 IU swimmers and divers who will compete in the Hoosiers’ first meet of the season against Cincinnati on Thursday. Fifty-one of them are freshmen and sophomores. “We’re looking to see how the younger swimmers perform,” IU Associate Coach Mike Westphal said. “Our next meet is a travel meet, so we’re really using this meet to set the standard.” Finishing the 2014 season 12th
in the nation, the IU men rank ninth in the preseason top-25 polls, while the women rank 15th after finishing 10th in the NCAA last season. Westphal said the Hoosiers have set their goals high this season, the men aiming to finish 10th and the women striving for eighth. “This is the most talented collection of athletes that we’ve had in my 13 years here at IU,” Westphal said.

awareness that this is going on on campus,” Archer said. Colleen Rose, senior assistant director for community engagement in Student Life and Learning, said students choose to get involved with organizations that engage in alternative breaks for several reasons. Many students want an opportunity to take an adventure to somewhere new, she said, but also want to serve and make a difference.
“I think it’s a good opportunity to make friends, too, because you have this really intense experience with a group of people for a period of time,” Rose said.

Workshop educates students By Julie Masterson julmaste@indiana.edu
Anne Mamaghani, former IU double major in journalism and women’s studies turned eBay senior manager of user experience research and human factors, proves it’s never too late to change your path. Students met to learn how their arts and sciences background can fit into the growing technology industry at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Global and International Studies Building. Presented by Arts and Sciences Career Services at IU, the workshop, “My Career in Tech: Evaluating Opportunities in Silicon Valley”, was a Skype workshop led by Mamaghani. Joe Lovejoy, the director of Career Services at the College of Arts and Sciences, helped organize the event. Lovejoy said the workshop was the first of a series of events between current students and alumni working in a variety of jobs in Silicon Valley. “We know that a lot of our students are interested in working in Silicon Valley and we know that we have a lot
of alumni out there,” Lovejoy said. The series, which Lovejoy said is experimental, is part of a larger initiative at the College of Arts and Sciences. By connecting students with alumni from a variety of educational backgrounds, Lovejoy said the initiative aims to help students learn about the various career possibilities that come with a degree from the College of Arts and Sciences while providing opportunities for them to develop professional connections. Although the program was designed by the College of Arts and Sciences, Lovejoy said any student can participate. Laura Fonseca, the associate director of Career Services at the College of Arts and Sciences, also helped coordinate the event. “We’re really excited to be working collaboratively across schools within IU to provide you all an opportunity to connect with our alumni,” Fonseca said. During the event, Mamaghani discussed her career trajectory and the events which lead to her work in Silicon Valley.

IU offers students many opportunities to study abroad during their time here. Now these opportunities are more accessible to underrepresented, low-income or first-generation students. The Council of International Exchange Education, in partnership with IU-Bloomington, will provide 250 free passports to eligible underrepresented, low-income and first-generation students. The CIEE is a nonprofit organization that promotes international education and exchange. IU-Bloomington and the CIEE’s partnership is part of the CIEE’s Passport Caravan, an effort to sponsor 10,000 passports for students around the country. The Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs helps give low-income, minority students the same opportunities. This includes its recent partnership with the CIEE. “For more than 65 years, CIEE has helped thousands of people gain the knowledge and skills necessary to live and work in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world by offering study abroad and exchange opportunities,” said Martin McCrory, OVPDEMA associate vice president for academic
support and diversity. After learning about the CIEE in 2014, McCrory traveled to its national conference. “Part of the conference was specifically centered on developing ways to get underrepresented minority, first generation and/or lowincome students to become involved in overseas study,” McCrory said. Then in January, the CIEE’s Executive Vice President David Fougere visited IU-Bloomington and discussed IUBloomington’s involvement in the Passport Caravan. In May, OVPDEMA was notified that it had been selected to take part in this program. The CIEE is providing 150 free passports, while IUBloomington’s Office of the Provost is matching 100 passports, making IU-Bloomington one of the first universities to take part in the program. “CIEE Passport Caravan kicked off with 200 passports at Jackson State University in February 2015,” McCrory said. “We are one of the first institutions to host the event and have one of the largest number of passport giveaways.” McCrory said studying abroad has many benefits, including enhancing the students’ degrees, creating networks and bonds and ending stereotypes and prejudices. “Many students also say

Students gather around computer screens to hear Senior Manager at eBay Anna Mamaghani speak about her career and experiences. Mamaghani is an IU Journalism alumna.
“December 1996, I’m graduating from journalism school and there’s this new thing that was all the rage in the computer clusters on campus,” Mamaghani said. “It was called the world wide web.” Mamaghani opted to change her career path after becoming aware of the opportunities the world wide web presented. This led her to pursue her masters of science degree from Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts. After working a series of
internships and jobs in Boston, Mamaghani relocated to California when she was presented with an opportunity to work for Yahoo and eventually eBay. In addition to sharing her story, Mamaghani provided students with advice for success in the technology field. “If you walk away with nothing else today, I really want to impress upon you that you don’t have to do it perfectly,” Mamaghani said. “Nothing is going to necessarily be perfect you just do your best and show up and it’s OK.”

the experience is transformative,” McCrory said. “They discover that the world is much larger and much different than they believed.” Ochmaa Escue, OVPDEMA director of overseas study and scholarship program, said she has similar views toward studying abroad. She said the majority of students who receive funding through OVPDEMA’s program have no previous overseas travel experience. Studying abroad is a lifechanging investment for personal growth and intercultural development, Escue added. “Study abroad programs enable many OVPDEMA students to step outside of their comfort zone, challenge themselves and help them grow to be more responsible, flexible, independent and culturally conscious, globally minded individuals,” Escue said. Students wishing to participate in this program and have the chance to receive a free passport must be in one of OVPDEMA’s programs and meet certain requirements. Once these are met, they can then contact their OVPDEMA program directors to request nomination. These OVPDEMA programs include the 21st Century Scholars Program, Groups Scholars Program, Hudson and Holland Scholars Pro-

Escue said many students who are part of these scholarship programs are given study abroad opportunities. Kenya Thomas, a junior majoring in neuroscience, studied abroad in Chile during the summer. Thomas is a member of Hudson and Holland Scholars, 21st Century Scholars and Groups Scholars program. “As a minority student, I am glad to have had the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and adapt to a very different environment,” Thomas said. Similarly, Alana Sampson, a sophomore majoring in fashion design and a member of the Hudson and Holland Scholars program, traveled to the Dominican Republic this summer. “I can honestly say that studying abroad has made me a better and more wellrounded individual because it also makes me appreciate the things I do have while being able to embrace the things I don’t,” Sampson said.

Senior David AlchalelCapuano said he was sweaty, tired and overheated when he came up with the idea for a company that would consume the rest of his college career. It was 7 a.m. on the second day of the second weekend of Coachella 2014. Alchalel-Capuano sat in his neighbor’s tent in the festival’s campgrounds, exchanging hypothetical business proposals. He tossed out a concept: a combination of Craiglist and Tinder. Instead of swiping through potential romantic partners, users would swipe through different pictures of items they wanted to buy. The idea stuck. During summer break, Alcahel-Capuano shared his idea with his friend Dylan Saffer, a junior at Claremont McKenna College. Saffer told his friend, Sameer Jaffri, a junior at the University of California at Los Angeles, who reached out to his family friend Amir Shah, a University of Maryland graduate. The four men created twazer, a mobile app that allows college students to buy and sell items. Alcahel-Capuano serves as chief marketing officer, Saffer is twazer’s chief financial officer, Jaffri is chief executive officer and Shah is the chief financial officer. It can be overwhelming to run a business and be a student at the same time, Alchalel-Capuano said. Just this month he’s had to balance five classes for his finance major with launching twazer to the general public. Still, he and his colleagues said they believe running a business while in college has particular advantages. When you approach people about an app for college students, they’re much more open if you’re a student yourself and you know what students want, Jaffri said. “The idea came from personal experience,” Jaffri said. “There wasn’t a marketplace for students that was easy and safe to use.” Alchalel-Capuano said he wished he had a simi-

lar tool when he moved into the Kelley LivingLearning Center in McNutt Quadrangle. Buying dorm supplies new, from a microwave to a mini-fridge, was too expensive, but AlcahelCapuono didn’t know who to contact to buy anything secondhand. He said he remembers seeing futons and televisions in the dumpster, thrown away because people didn’t know to whom they could sell their belongings. “Twazer addresses a real problem that students have,” Alchahel-Capuano said. The app found support quickly. Investors donated $150,000 to the business before the app’s launch, and students from different schools across the country offered to market twazer as official representatives of the app following this release. “It was crazy how much people were invested in an app that hadn’t even launched yet,” Shah said. Anyone with an ”.edu” email address can use twazer, but the advertising so far has mostly been focused on IU and UCLA students. Shah said the company plans to expand marketing to the Claremont Colleges, University of Arizona and Chapman University in the near future. At IU, twazer is collaborating with IU Dance Marathon to connect with students. Twazer will sponsor the IU Dance Marathon rave and sell massages during the event itself through the app. Before the dance, 10 percent of transactions made through twazer by IUDM members will go to efforts involving event fundraising. “The students here have definitely been responsive,” Alchalel-Capuano said. “Now we’re just working on getting the word out.”

Wage raises approved for city employees By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu
During the most recent meeting of the Bloomington Common Council, widespread pay raises were approved for many city employees and public safety officials. The meeting, which took place Wednesday night, included an official public hearing for the 2016 municipal public budget. This marks the second reading of the city budget. The final decisions for the 2016 budget will be made in a special session Oct. 14. The council at whole unanimously approved new salary agreements for the Bloomington Police Department and Bloomington Fire Department. Under three- and fouryear agreements, the proposal states firefighters will receive a 1.5 percent salary increase. Police officers will receive a 1.25 percent salary increase in 2016. Deputy Mayor Adam Wason said the police pay will also increase by 1.5 percent in 2017 and 1.75 percent in 2018. The police chief and fire chief will receive a 2-percent increase, as proposed for the city council’s non-union employees.

Federal budget might hinder Peer Run Support Center local forest conservancy lets addicts help each other By Emily Beck emebeck@indiana.edu | @emebeck1
Congress had until midnight last night to reauthorize the federal budget. Environmentalists were concerned that one program, which provides funding for nature conservancy, would no longer be supported. The budget was passed, but as of press time Wednesday, it was not known whether the Land and Water Conservation Fund had been reauthorized. “It is vital that we permanently reauthorize #LWCF and do not allow it to lapse,” Sen. Steve Daines R-Mont., tweeted Wednesday. The LWCF Twitter feed was filled with similar sentiments, along with hashtags like #Outdoors4All and #SaveLWCF. The LWCF provides federal grants to entities like national parks, forests and wildlife refuges. According to its website, the fund has supported more than 41,000 state and local park projects in every state. With this money, areas like the Hoosier National Forest improve their recreational facilities and consolidate their scattered land. The fund comes from fees companies pay to drill offshore for gas and oil. Without the LWCF, opportunities to acquire more land can be lost. Mike Chaveas, forest supervisor, said consolidating the forest, or acquiring the private land dividing up the forest, is important
because it lowers costs and improves accessibility for people who want to get outside. Because the forest is “very much scattered across Indiana,” Chaveas said there are a lot of boundary lines between public and private land that have to be looked after. That costs money. “We wouldn’t have any mechanism anymore to acquire land,” Chaveas said, referring to what would happen if LWFC funding was not approved. “We wouldn’t be able to close in the gaps of private land or to improve access for recreationists who want to get to the forest. All of that would go away.” The LWCF is practically the only funding source the Hoosier National Forest has for land acquisition, Chaveas said. “We all love having nice places to go hiking,” said Katrina Folsom, the communications director at Sycamore Land Trust. “We all need clean water and air. That source of federal funding is so central for conservation throughout this state.” She said that though the disappearance of the fund could hinder progress on conservation projects throughout Indiana, the forests would not disappear. “We use that fund to try to fill in those gaps in the land base,” he said. “It really helps us to be more efficient in how we use our other money.” About 70 percent of operating costs for Indiana’s state
parks, lakes and forests are covered by a “user pays” system. Visitors to state parks pay fees to enter the park, to rent cabins and boats and for activities like camping and swimming. In order to receive money from the LWCF, the Hoosier National Forest writes proposals for specific projects it plans to complete if provided with funding. When the Hoosier National Forest doesn’t have extra money to spend on adjacent pieces of land for sale by private land owners, nonprofits like Sycamore Land Trust sometimes help out.. Folsom said the trust will sometimes buy that land and maintain it for the forest, until the forest can apply for funding to buy the land. The disappearance of LWCF would mean the property won’t be added to the forest. This is an example of a holdup, Folsom said. That doesn’t mean the land won’t eventually join the Hoosier National Forest. It’s possible, Chaveas said, for Congress to go back and reauthorize the fund. “But until that happens, this opportunity will go away for us,” he said. Chaveas and Folsom agreed the fund is important for both conservation efforts and people. “The Land and Water Conservation Fund is one of those things that many people benefit from but most don’t know about,” Folsom said.
Local nonprofit combats carbon monoxide poisoning From IDS reports
The Boys & Girls Club at Lincoln Street will present a carbon monoxide awareness event open to the public from 3 to 6 p.m. Thursday. First Alert, a safety product producer, will help with the event. The Lindsey O’Brien Kesling Wishing Tree Foundation will fund the event in memory of Lindsey O’Brien Kesling, who volunteered with the Boys & Girls Club while she was a student at IU. Kesling died of carbon monoxide poisoning in her Scottsdale, Arizona apartment in November 2010. “Kesling fell victim to a silent killer,” Scottsdale Fire Marshal Jim Ford said in a
press release. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be difficult to recognize, he said, because its symptoms — nausea, headaches, dizziness, weakness, chest pain and vomiting — resemble those of non-fatal illnesses. Carbon monoxide detection devices can bring attention to the problem, but 90 percent of homes in the United States do not have them, Ford said in the release. “Losing a child for any reason breaks a parent’s heart, but losing them to something that could have been prevented makes the loss so much heavier to bear,” Lindsey’s mother, Dot Kesling, said in the release. Every year, carbon
monoxide poisoning not linked to fires kills more than 400 people and sends more than 20,000 to the emergency room, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Kesling’s family created the Lindsey O’Brien Kesling Wishing Tree Foundation to raise awareness about carbon monoxide poisoning and its prevention. The Wishing Tree Foundation provides funds for performing and visual arts projects as well as the annual CO awareness event at the Boys & Girls Club. First Alert will sell carbon monoxide detectors at a 20 percent discount at the event. Cora Henry

Workers at Centerstone’s Peer Run Support Center know how to help individuals suffering from mental illness and addiction. They know because they’ve been through it themselves. Peer Run is relatively new. It opened this August after Centerstone, an organization focused on providing mental health services and substance abuse treatment, received a $100,000 grant from the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction. The center itself looks much like a house. The walls of the hallway leading into the kitchen are lined with fullpage biographies highlighting the addiction-riddled pasts of the staff. Alcohol, marijuana, cocaine or mental illnesses once plagued nearly every staff member working there. People working toward recovery filed into a small room and fellowshipped. They laughed and sipped coffee while sitting on the couches, talking to one another. “The $100,000 grant will enable the center to operate for a year,” Christina Murphy, a certified recovery specialist, said.
After overcoming a tumultuous past of substance abuse and schizophrenia, Ray Flanagan was inspired to become a peer recovery specialist. Flanagan said he relishes the opportunity to provide guidance and counsel to those in need. “That’s why I took this job,” he said. “Centerstone helped me and I thought I could come back and help other people that need my help. It’s about giving back to the community.” The center’s main goal is to reinforce the recovery process while removing barriers that inhibit its guests from gaining access to resources within the community. “We want them to gain knowledge of what their options are and what resources are here locally,” volunteer coordinator Heather Randle said. “Because a lot of people don’t know what their options are.” The goal of these support services is to assist in developing healthy relationships and developing new life skills, Randle said. “Everybody pulls together and grows together,” she said. “Through recovery, a natural development occurs and that brings nothing but positive outcomes.”
After the year expires, however, the center hopes to have enough clientele to sustain its own operational costs. The center is staffed by certified recovery specialists, recovery coaches and peer recovery specialists, most of whom are recovering from addictions, according to Murphy. “We have once suffered through our own afflictions, so we all have a shared experience,” Murphy said. “But we are here to provide support, encouragement and hope.” The center and its employees assist the guests in the recovery process by providing structured, scheduled activities that promote human interaction and socialization that can translate into their everyday life Open 3-8 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, the center offers a range of different groups and activities for guests to participate in. Throughout the week, the staff hosts group sessions to discuss grief, depression, PTSD and addiction. The center also hosts a job club where guests receive assistance in finding jobs, filling out applications and editing their resumes. Additionally, the center has karaoke nights the first Friday of every month.

Monkeying around with a selfie suit WE SAY: PETA’s gone bananas for bringing this copyright case to court We’ve all tried to take the perfect selfie in the hopes our beautiful mugs will go viral. That’s exactly what happened to Naruto, an Indonesian crested black macaque monkey who took his own picture after nabbing a photographer’s camera. But instead of likes and retweets, the selfie gained a class action lawsuit on Naruto’s behalf. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed a lawsuit as Naruto’s representative against David J. Slater, the photographer who owned the camera and subsequently sold the selfies, in a United States Federal Court in California on Sept. 21. PETA claims Naruto is not only the author of his selfies but that he should receive compensation for them. The Editorial Board believes this case is monkey business and it’s a wonder if any judge won’t laugh the animal rights organization out of court. Don’t get us wrong, we all love Naruto’s toothy grin and we’ll second CNN legal analyst Paul Callan’s comment that Naruto is “one good-looking monkey.” But Naruto and his selfie have no business in court. What exactly does Naruto get out of this lawsuit if he were to win the case? Maybe he’ll just get a bushel of bananas out of the deal or a nice hammock to swing in.
How about a selfie stick? According to the blog on PETA.org, the organization plans to “administer the proceeds of ‘monkey selfie’ sales for the benefit of Naruto and his community, without compensation.” The blog claims Naruto experiences “exploitation” at the hands of Slater and other outlets that benefit from his pictures. PETA writes, “If this lawsuit succeeds, it will be the first time that a nonhuman animal is declared the owner of property (the copyright of the ‘monkey selfie’), rather than being declared a piece of property himself or herself.” The hope is Naruto’s case will establish a legal precedent for future animal rights cases, but it’s unlikely this issue will accomplish such a feat. Human rights and animal rights are not interchangeable. Animal rights establish basic needs for animals in order for them to live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. Copyright and the laws that protect it are recent human concepts that cannot be applied, nor explained, to a monkey. Sorry PETA, but Naruto didn’t know what a camera was when he took his picture, he doesn’t know what a selfie is and he certainly can’t tell the difference between what’s protected by copyright and what’s in public domain.
MAGGIE’S MUSINGS
According to Callan, the selfie falls under public domain since neither Slater nor Naruto own the picture. Not only is this case pointless but it serves as a distraction and publicity stunt by an organization known for seeking shock value. This element of the organization reared its ugly head when PETA asked Ben & Jerry’s to use human breast milk instead of dairy cow milk in its ice cream in 2008. Or when it wanted to place a Spanish billboard that translates, “If the Border Patrol doesn’t get you, the chicken and burgers will. Go vegan,” in the same year. And we saw it in 2014 when PETA distributed graphic comics of mutilated cows to children in a Los Angeles elementary school. While PETA busies itself with unsound lawsuits, animals in need are left unattended. We aren’t trying to change PETA’s mind. It seems like hope was lost on this organization a long time ago. But the Editorial Board wants the viewers of this selfie to understand this organization’s flawed and unfounded claims. The focus should remain on Naruto and animals like him who could benefit from human assistance instead of a picture that belongs to no one.
AN EMMA DILEMMA
Stop suspending students for non-violent actions The media lacks women When asked for one piece of advice for young people, many celebrities and successful role models will blurt out the stale, “Stay in school, kids.” While this seems like sound advice every student should follow sometimes it isn’t the students who are halting their education. Many schools, including the schools in the Seattle public school system, found about 25 percent of elementary school suspensions were being granted for non-violent, nonthreatening infractions. According to the Seattle Times, a new proposal for the city is a one-year moratorium on suspensions for students who only commit non-violent infractions. The school board passed this proposal unanimously. Suspending students who disrupt class or break rules does nothing to fix their insolence. Instead, it gives them a whole new problem. These kids fall behind in their classes, leading to more transgressions down the road, not to mention a decline in their grades. What purpose does school suspension serve if it only hinders these kids
even further? The Seattle Times also analyzed data from the school system that said a disproportionate amount of young children of color are suspended from school. According to the figures, non-white students are suspended more frequently than white students, with black students being suspended the most. In the entire state of Washington, black students are suspended or expelled 286.2 percent as much as white students. For other races the numbers are 141 percent for Hispanic students, 41.5 percent for Asian students and 134.4 percent of multiracial students in comparison to their white peers. It’s highly unlikely this type of data appears because white students are better behaved. More than likely, something much more insidious is occurring: prejudice. This kind of data sends the message that students of color are more disruptive than white students when in fact they are sent to the office to take the flak for their actions more often. It’s the same mentality behind the criminal
profiling and stop-andfrisk methods of policing that are the source of the great racial disparity in the United States right now. And all these issues stack on top of each other to form a pyramid-shaped disaster — the school-toprison pipeline. Yes, though it might be difficult to swallow, children who are repeatedly told they are rule-breakers unworthy of even being in school are set up for failure in their futures. Just like adult criminals do not improve themselves simply by the virtue of being in jail, young school-aged offenders cannot become better students merely by being removed from their learning environment. Both of these groups need more rehabilitation. These children require more time in school with more adequate attention paid to their individual issues. That means more emphasis on teachers engaging students completely instead of singling out those they deem to be problematic and sending them out of the room. By keeping them in the

room, those problematic students can learn from their peers and have another opportunity to absorb the material. Seattle’s plan to keep students who do not create a dangerous learning and socializing environment for other children is a step in the right direction. And as it is aimed at elementary school students, it is a step at the right time. Younger children are more malleable. Their minds act as sponges soaking up information and adjusting to the world around them. They believe what you say about them and it changes their self-image. If you tell them they’re outcasts, they will be outcasts. We’re not looking to add more marginalization in our country. But if you tell them they deserve a second chance, they’ll take it. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff

The problem women face when trying to demand a broader range of representation from the media is in part because of the normalization of a traditional type of body: mostly tall, thin, C cup breasts (no bigger or smaller) and, typically, white and blonde. According to the Guardian, Hendrik Vermeulen, a South African designer who created a line of clothing for the FTL Moda group, did something different this year. He hired model Madeline Stuart to walk in the group’s show. Stuart has Down syndrome, and she was joined by other models who have a number of different handicaps. Many are applauding the company’s bold choice to hire these models, and while I am in full support of their willingness to serve as a representation of a number of different women, I can’t help but be critical. This Fashion Week was no different from any other and just because one company did a good deed does not mean the industry is suddenly a beacon of diversity and a champion of accurate women’s representation. First, FTL Moda was the only company out of a horde of designers to use disabled models. And we cannot forget about race. After New York Fashion Week 2015, thefashionspot.com reported 77.4 percent of the models were white while 8.7 percent were black. Asian models comprised 8.5 percent and a stunning 3.5 percent were Latina. The fashion industry is the main generator of beauty standards in the United States. Magazines, television and movies in large part follow the cues that fashion designers leave behind. When designers are

unwilling to use anything but the thin, white woman as the standard of beauty, it translates into other commercial media. Viola Davis’ passionate and emotional Emmys acceptance speech this year called TV networks out about their lack of diversity. Disabled women of all backgrounds and races are equally as important. They are possibly given even less media attention than other under-represented groups. I fervently believe the general whitewashing and unequal representation on television and in movies is simply a symptom of a much larger issue within media as a whole. And that is the unwillingness of networks, designers and other media companies to break away from standard ideas about beauty because — for decades now — thin, blonde, white women have generated money. People are afraid of representation because it forces them to grapple with diverse standards of beauty, with race relations between women, with cultural differences, with disability and with a whole can of worms that, if it were opened, would finally allow us to explore women as people and not as objects. And I think that we are ready to do that. The U.S. is an incredibly diverse country, and we need to see all of our faces in the media. I applaud FTL Moda and hope that they continue this campaign. And I hope that it will finally generate the kinds of discussions we need to be having about women. ewenning@indiana.edu @emmawenninger

Senior Ariel Kepler hits the ball to her teammate, Ian Hutchinson, during a hurling practice Monday at Dunn Meadow. The two are a part of IU’s Hurling team, who play the Irish sport for fun in their free time.
Senior tells story of joining Irish hurling By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94
Hundreds of students walk past them, but few ask what it is they’re doing. Nearly every day when the weather is nice, senior Evan Anttonen, among others, plays a sport in Dunn Meadow. The origins of the sport are not American, nor is the equipment or the rules and general philosophy behind the game. The sport is called hurling, and Anttonen said it’s better than any sport he’s played in the United States. “I like the constant action, and I also like the physicality of it,” Anttonen said. “It’s a lot of fun. I played soccer in high school over here in America, but you can’t really hit anyone like you can in hurling. It’s just a lot of fun.” Anttonen was introduced to hurling when he lived in Ireland for two years during the fifth and sixth grades. He had no idea what the game was before moving, but, in Ireland, that and Gaelic football were the only sports anyone seemed to play, he said. “Football and hurling are a lot like what basketball is to Indiana,” Anttonen said. “Every school has its team, and that’s what you do during gym class. Even during

the winter you just play it indoors.” Shortly after arriving in Ireland, he asked some people in the park what they were playing. After their initial surprise at his ignorance, they handed Anttonen a hurley — essentially a wooden paddle — beginning his experience with hurling. His father’s work moved the family back to Indiana. With the move, his hurling career was put on pause until last spring. He said he was walking through the weight room at the Student Recreational Sports Center when he spotted someone holding a hurley. That day he learned of the IU Hurling Club and of a recreational hurling league in Indianapolis. “He told me right there and then that there was also a club up in Indy and that the draft deadline was actually tomorrow,” Anttonen said of joining the recreational Indianapolis league. “So I kind of did it on impulse.” Since joining the hurling club at IU, Anttonen has quickly recovered his skills. It took about one practice, he
said. He has also competed in tournaments in Chicago and Indianapolis, and has traveled to Montana to compete in nationals. For nationals, IU needed to combine its team with Purdue’s in order to field enough players — 11 — to compete. This season, the club’s numbers are down again — and could be in more trouble next year. “The problem right now is you have to get people when they’re younger,” Anttonen said. “Like right now, four or five of our members are seniors, so we’ve got like two or three people next year to carry it on.” IU doesn’t have enough members to compete in games and hasn’t had a fully organized practice since school started this fall. But still, every day when the weather is nice, a group will be at Dunn Meadow hitting the ball around and hoping to attract new members and keep its club alive. “It’s usually like two to five of us just hitting around at Dunn, and we always have extra hurlies with us in case anyone wants to try it,” Ant-
THE SPORTS S’TORI
IU has potential to beat Ohio State With No. 1 Ohio State rolling into town looking to bump IU into the loss column for the first time this season, there is only one question fans want answered. Can the Hoosiers beat the Buckeyes? And the short answer is, yes. There are definitely versions of IU football that can beat versions of Ohio State. But the likelihood that those versions show up? I’d say, one, maybe two, in 10. The question for IU Coach Kevin Wilson then becomes how to manifest that version of IU football — the one that has shown up when it counts this season, most prominently in the third quarter where IU has shut out its opponents, 51-0. This team didn’t get to 4-0 for naught. Weak non-conference or otherwise, IU has improved in every outing this season. Executing the game plan that got them here is the Hoosiers’ best shot at attaining their first win against a top-ranked team in program history. The first step is to create turnovers, off of which the Hoosiers have scored 48 points this season, including two pick-sixes. IU leads the Big Ten with a turnover margin of plus-6, a mark that ties for seventh among all FBS teams. To follow the pattern of this season in which IU has been
able to shift momentum and put away games with takeaways, the Hoosiers will need to force junior quarterback Cardale Jones — who has thrown four interceptions this season — to make mistakes. Though chock-full of playmakers in Jones, senior halfback Braxton Miller and junior running back Ezekiel Elliot (who, in case you were wondering, found his missing dog Tuesday), the Buckeye offense is not invincible. Of all things, Ohio State Coach Urban Meyer said it could be IU’s “weird” 3-4 defense that gives his team the most trouble. The scheme has bedeviled Ohio State this season against Hawaii and, most notably, Northern Illinois. Ohio State’s offensive line struggles with the bandit position, played by senior Zack Shaw and sophomore Greg Gooch for IU, because the Buckeye interior lineman aren’t able to double team and instead are left to figure out where the bandit, or attacker, is coming from. Of course, we can’t talk about the IU defense without mentioning Darius Latham’s indefinite absence because of suspension. The loss of the junior defensive tackle from the highlytouted IU 2013 recruiting class — and who Wilson said could make plays “as well as anyone” Monday — will be a palpable detriment to a defense that struggled without him in

week one and has little depth to spare. Latham, who had one sack and a career-best three tackles for loss against Wake Forest, will be replaced as starter by the emergent sophomore Robert McCray III. Also interesting to see will be the head coaching battle between Wilson and Meyer, who are said to share similar philosophies. How will Wilson inspire his team to do the unthinkable? How does he prepare for not only the physical challenge and match-up challenge, but the mental challenge too? How does IU play David to Ohio State’s Goliath — because that’s essentially what this is. IU has an advantage because it has nothing to lose. Looking at the schedule, this game was always going to be a loss, so the Hoosiers can go out and play free. Unlike every other game thus far in which there has been expectation to win, IU should not be afraid to lose Saturday. And that just might be the unshackling the Hoosiers need to earn the biggest win in IU football history. vziege@indiana.edu
IU men’s soccer reached three wins in a row as it defeated St. Louis 3-2 during the second period of overtime Wednesday night at Hermann Stadium. Redshirt senior midfielder Kyle Sparks’ goal in the 105th minute was the first IU goal in overtime since 2013 when midfielder Dylan Mares scored against Michigan in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament. The Hoosiers were moments away from securing their third win in regulation time before Billiken freshman forward Anthony Brown scored in the 89th minute. The Hoosiers began the game with the upper hand and tested the Billikens’ sophomore goalkeeper Sascha Otte as early as the third minute. Otte also had to be alert to deny redshirt junior midfielder Phil Fives in the 13th minute as IU went in search of the opening goal. It was the Billikens, however, that would break the deadlock in the 22nd minute when forward Jair Minors blasted the ball toward the top right corner of junior goalkeeper Colin Webb after the ball was played in from the left flank by junior midfielder Joe Saad. The Hoosiers looked for a quick response, and Otte had to be alert again to deny graduate transfer forward Ben Maurey’s header in the 24th minute. IU would finally find a way past Otte in the 26th minute when Fives converted senior forward Femi

Hollinger-Janzen’s cross into the far corner of the goal way beyond the reach of the 6-foot-2 German. Sophomore defender Grant Lillard’s header 21 seconds before the end of the half gave the Hoosiers a 2-1 lead, which they kept until Brown scored the Billikens’ equalizer in the 89th minute. In the first period of overtime, Fives came extremely close to settling the tie in the 97th minute, but his shot was cleared off the line by a Billikens’ defender. The Hoosiers continued their dominance in the second period of overtime and this time it would be the crossbar that denied the Hoosiers their first overtime goal since 2013. There was a bit of doubt surrounding Lillard’s head-

Hollinger-Janzen provided the assist for Sparks to score the winning goal for the Hoosiers in the 105th minute. IU is now 22-9-4 against St. Louis and 6-3-1 this season.

» AID
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 President Obama joined United States Education Secretary Arne Duncan in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sept. 15 to address the importance of access to college education. He announced his administration’s initiative to make college more affordable to more students by allowing them to apply and receive federal financial aid earlier. In the past, to file a FAFSA, a student’s parents needed to report their taxes from the previous year in order for the government to determine how much aid to award a student. Now, instead of “prioryear” planning, students will be using “prior-prior year” planning — meaning that their parents’ income report will be from 2015, not 2016. The goal is for fewer students to be left behind: according to a 2011 study referenced by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, an estimated 2.3 million students fail to file for financial aid each year, even though they would have qualified.
» BALLET
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The pristine piece is neoclassical, Vernon said, which means it is classical but has been redefined from the old style of Russian ballet. Ellis is a featured dancer in “Concerto Barocco.” He said the members of the corps de ballet are hardworking in this piece, because they don’t leave the stage. “There is not one small part,” Ellis said. The last ballet is “Musical Offering” by Taylor, featuring Bach’s piece of the same title. It is inspired by sacred Polynesian figures, and it is about the celebration of a woman’s life and mourning her death. Both “Concerto Barocco” and “Musical Offering” feature music by Bach, Vernon said, but they show completely different sides of the composer.
Jackie Kennedy-Fletcher, IU’s director of the Office of Student Financial Assistance, said she thinks this will help students plan for IU better. “Students will be able to receive a more accurate estimate of their financial aid package,” Kennedy-Fletcher said. “It will help them determine if IU is financially feasible much earlier.” She said that students whom FAFSA doesn’t consider “dependents” will not be affected. IU senior Ryan Clifton said it can be stressful to budget ahead of time when he doesn’t know the amount of aid he will be given until right before school. “It comes the week before classes and you have to pay for books on top of that,” he said. With the new system, students like Clifton will be able to assess their financial situation much sooner. The study NASFAA published in 2013 led the organization to conclude that a system using this prior-prior tax return data would help low and middle income families the most. Jacqueline Fernette, director of strategic communica-
Vernon said he juxtaposed the two pieces to contrast the styles. “It’s like two different composers,” Vernon said. Ellis said the music in “Concerto Barocco” is melodic and soothing, like the Bach most people are familiar with. “Musical Offering” is dark, Ellis said, because it’s a requiem dealing with themes of death. Ellis also dances in this piece. “It will suck you in so quickly,” Ellis said. “There’s this atmosphere with the very first note, and there’s no way the audience can escape, and I think that’s the exciting part.” Vernon said he chooses ballets that will challenge the dancers and give them a professional experience. “What I look forward to with each program is that the dancers learn something, and they’re going to learn a
tions and marketing in IU’s Office of Enrollment Management said the University staff is still in the process of understanding the new changes. “We will need to see more details about the change in the federal aid process to understand how we will need to realign our own processes,” Fernette said. Kennedy-Fletcher said a new federal system might bring some in-state challenges. “There will be some technical/system challenges to address,” Kennedy-Fletcher said. “The state will have to asses their timeline/process for determining state eligibility to see if it can be aligned with the (federal) process.” The NASFAA warned that a switch to prior-prior year planning may “increase program costs due to more aideligible recipients.” But this did not deter them from recommending the switch. Fernette said the University also supported the switch to the new system. “We have long been an advocate for this change,” Fernette said. “We look forward to seeing it implemented over the next couple of years.”

Ellis said he has been a dancer since he visited his twin sister’s ballet practice when he was in preschool. “I came in and was so young and easily manipulated, so I was like, ‘Sure, I’ll stay in that,’” Ellis said. He said there were one or two instances of doubt, of considering whether this was truly what he wanted, but the answer was always “yes.” “There’s always that feeling that you’re there and the audience is viewing you, and all of this hard work, all of these months of training — all of a sudden, it’s to be presented at that one moment to look as easy as it possibly can,” Ellis said.

Westphal said. Westphal said racing swimmers in events in which they usually do not compete will show their versatility and open up avenues and opportunities to race in bigger meets in the future. “Some swimmers like it,” Westphal said. “They like to race in something different that they may not have raced in before and compete in events that aren’t always the same.” Two Hoosier athletes competing Thursday, two trips a year to rebuild homes in New Orleans, while Habitat for Humanity at IU works in Florida. One factor that can play into a student’s decision to take an alternative break trip is the cost. Although some trips are less expensive, such as the Y’ALL trip to New Orleans, which costs $300, some international experiences can cost up to $2,500, Rose said. Rose said one way students can defray expenses is with scholarships available through the Hutton Honors College, open to all students, and with service-learning student travel scholarships, available for service-learning courses and service-related activities. “That’s something we’re hoping to work on with the new Hoosier Alternative Break program is finding more ways for students to go on trips either low-cost or no-cost,” Rose

said. “We want all IU students to be able to take one with expense not being an obstacle.” Archer said the experience students get from alternative break trips starts before students leave, when they learn about the social issues and needs of the communities they serve. “Once you’re there, you’re really immersed in the issue, and you get to see your hands-on impact that you can have when there’s an unmet need,” Archer said. “I think it’s something every student should have the opportunity to experience. There’s lots of reasons to do service, but there’s always a need.”

The nationwide phenomenon has returned ‘Empire’ Terrence Howard, Taraji P. Henson, Jussie Smollett, Trai Byers B+ It’s hard for me to give an A-rating to an episode I feel like I’ve seen before. “Empire,” just as goldplated, star-studded and superfluous as it always is, felt like a rehashing of the same drama from last season, only this time less organically. It felt overwrought with unnecessary guest appearances and — GASP! — yet another murder. “Empire” has been a historymaker, record-breaking hit TV phenomenon, and that success is going to be the mark of a truly iconic show. Those things aside, “Empire” has me hooked. For a brief and minimally spoiled recap, here’s how minorit white
the episode went down: The hostile takeover plot is resolved quickly, Jamal has become Lucious reincarnate and in the first 15 minutes we meet guest stars Andre Leon Talley, Don Lemon and Al Sharpton playing themselves at the “Free Lucious” concert. Nothing too shocking, nothing too plot-twisty. The thing about “Empire,” though, is the storylines are not as crucial as the actors who play them every week. The cast is outstanding. From everyone’s favorite leading lady, queen of the divas and our sass supreme, Taraji P. Henson, down to Gabourey Sidibe in the supporting role of Jamal’s personal assistant, there is a certain biting wit to nearly every character on the show. The most surprising new addition to the premiere was Chris Rock playing drug kingpin Frank Gathers. If you recall, this is the same man Cookie ratted out in exchange for her freedom last season. Frank
is supposed to be revered, respected both in the streets and in the prison. But it seems to me the writers and the folks who cast the show missed one crucial detail: Nobody is scared of Chris Rock. Rock as Gathers was lessthan-believable at best, but it was fun to watch him try. Someone characterized a flaw in this season as “having no one left to root for,” and I think that’s an accurate description. Gone are the days of brilliant and sensitive Jamal vying for his father’s approval and relishing in his mother’s love. Instead, he’s a bloodthirsty young executive with little room for apology and no time to focus on the music that made us fall in love with him. There is no softness anywhere in “Empire,” and it’s hard to watch an hour’s worth of dirty deals and conniving artists without the levity Jamal’s inherent goodness used to provide. At its core, though,
“Empire” starts critical conversations. And for that reason alone it can’t be ignored as essential pop culture. It was the most tweeted-about hour of scripted television in history, clocking in at 1.3 million tweets, and the content of the episode included vital statistics and context on mass incarceration and homophobia in the black community, which is one key to the show’s entire first season. “Empire” gets people talking, and while often firmly couched in camp, more often than not, it manages to cut through the noise and deliver something invaluable to the media landscape. “Empire” has quite the task ahead of it this season. Living up to the hype set forth by season one’s success is nearly impossible, but if the season premiere is any indication, the “Empire” team is going to do its best to make it happen. Leah Johnson
A week after making history by becoming the first African-American woman to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama, Viola Davis returned to the small screen as Annalise Keating for the second season of “How to Get Away with Murder.” The first season of HTGAWM was a complex web of lies, affairs and murders, and the center of every episode was focused on Keating, a law professor who takes no shit in the classroom or in the courtroom. Davis portrayed Keating in a nuanced manner, showed us the real, vulnerable human behind the hard exterior Keating puts on for the world and made her slow deterioration during the course of the season believable. When the first season ended in February, most of the problems were wrapped up. Of course, all of these wrap up as soon as another mystery is dropped — after Rebecca threatened to go to the cops with all the information she had against Keating and her students, she was tied up in Keating’s basement and, true to the show’s name, was found dead at the end of the season finale. The premiere episode
starts off with all the pace of the first episode, as it picks up 10 days after Rebecca went “missing.” Wes is insubordinate in class, the Keating Five seems lackluster in its job, not wanting much of a challenge. It could be early-onset senioritis, or could be the students’ slow unraveling caused by the pressure to keep Sam’s death a secret and avoid going to prison for murder. Frank and Keating are the only ones who know Rebecca is dead. They now have to find out who in the house killed her without tipping off anyone else. Two-thirds of the way through the episode, you learn who killed Rebecca, but the shock is replaced when more mysteries are revealed. Each of the Keating Five has its own subplot in addition to the overarching themes. No part of the episode feels like filler scenes — every one is crafted to bring you closer and closer to the new mystery of the season. As with any good episode of television, it ends with a dance party, a murder and a familiar character’s fate left in question. Unlike the intermittent flashbacks throughout the episodes in season one, the premiere had a few flashbacks, but it isn’t until the end when we jump forward two months that we see what the central conflict of the season will be. If the premiere tells us anything, it is this season is destined to be as twisted and complex as the previous one, but I trust Davis to guide me through it. Anna Boone

Spelling bee to raise money for education By Alexis Daily aledaily@indiana.edu | @AlexDaily1
Participants dressed in costumes will compete in the Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee to raise money for educational programs for Monroe County Community School students. The sixth annual event is at 8 p.m. today at the BuskirkChumley Theater, 114 E. Kirkwood Ave. “We’re a K-through-12 education foundation, so what better way to fundraise than spelling?” said Cyrilla Helm, executive director of the Foundation of Monroe County Schools. Teams this year include Cook Medical, IU-Bloomington, Solution Tree, Baxter Inc., Ivy Tech Community College Bloomington, Boston Scientific, Coffman Proactive CPA Services and TIS Inc. “Our teams do a great job in having fun and being creative with this,” Helm said. “They’re all very competitive and all want to take home
the title.” The spelling bee’s master of ceremonies, John Whikehart, said the words contestants are asked to spell from the list of words Monroe County middle school students learn for their spelling bee. “The words are easier than those used in the national spelling bee, but it’s also sometimes embarrassing when someone spells a sixth grade word wrong,” he said. Past costumes include wizards, leisure suits and “Young Frankenstein” characters. “The spelling bee is just a fun way for the whole Bloomington community to come together to dress up and support an incredible cause, he said. The fundraiser has raised approximately $200,000 to date, and Helm said they expect to raise $40,000 at this year’s event. The proceeds from the event are used to fund educational programs of the foundation such as the Grants
GROWN-UP SPELLING BEE Tickets $20 8 p.m., Thursday Buskirk-Chumley Theatre to Equip, Inspire and Innovate, which provide teachers grants for educational needs in their classrooms and schools. “This event is the backbone of our annual fundraising plan,” Helm said. “It enables us to impact the education of 10,900 students, and education is critical to the success of our children and our community.” Courtney Wilson, a sophomore elementary education major, said she plans to attend the event. “I want to support schools and educational opportunities in any way I can, especially because soon enough I’ll benefit from these fundraisers as a teacher,” Wilson said. Tickets are $20 and available at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater box office.
IT’S ACTUALLY CERULEAN
Fit into festival fashion Mud-stained shoes, colossal stages, vibrant banners and loud music. Tutus, sequins, bikinis and Kandi beads add to the colors of the lights flashing from the stages. TomorrowWorld in Chatahoochee Hills, Georgia, is an event where citizens of the world come together from near and far to dance to the beats and bumps of Electronic Dance Music. Walking in is overwhelming. Devoted festival-goers and loyal fans of this generation’s electronic disc jockeys surround the place, dressed head to toe in brighter colors than the modern-day kindergartener. How does one dress for an occasion like this? Should you ask your parents to send a box of childhood costumes and accessories so you fit in with the crowd? Festival fashion is animated, graphic and erotic. Some dress in next to nothing. Others decorate themselves with beads, tattoos and sparkles or streamers that fly off the stage during a set.
The movements and motions of the surrounding crowd lure every listener, even when it seems they are lost in their own world. Here are five rules to stay on-trend at an EDM music festival: Rule No. 1 — Protect your toes. Keds’ Champion Originals come in six different colors: black, white, red, stone, navy and black/black. Match these to the primary color of your outfit and your feet will get the support they need at any festival or concert. They are comfortable and versatile — ideal for standing and great for walking between sets. Rule No. 2 — Be comfortable. A dress or romper will ensure ease and flexibility when you are dancing and running around most of the day. You are sure to use the restroom at some point, so make sure to wear something that is easy to slip on and off. Rule No. 3 — Be colorful. Kandi Krave beads are stacked on the wrists of hundreds of ravers. They

are inexpensive and easy to make, but you can buy them pre-made on Etsy for a low price. Accessorize with Flash Tattoos, available at www. flashtat.com and locally at Greetings on Kirkwood Avenue. Online, there are a variety of collections, including one designed by Beyoncé. Rule No. 4 — Come prepared. Urban Outfitters and Herschel have great backpacks with plenty of room for a raincoat, snacks, a water bottle and other necessities to ensure you are well equipped for a long day and night. They come in a variety of patterns and colors — it’s always better to be over-prepared than under-prepared. Rule No. 5 — Represent. Festival attendees travel across the world to hear the best of EDM. A fab accessory is a flag tied around your neck to rep your school — make sure to hold it up during the performance because there are many photographers in the crowd.
Kyle Adams thought it strange no one from the Jacobs School of Music ever had the idea to present a film series at IU Cinema. That’s how Adams, an associate professor of music theory at the music school, came up with the idea for a film series focusing on the culture and complexities of hip-hop, one of his own main focuses. That idea has come to fruition with the IU Cinema’s History and Craft of HipHop series, which will feature three films during a period of a little more than a month. The series will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday with the 1983 feature “Wild Style.” The series also includes the documentaries “Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme,” which will screen at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, and the Ice-T-helmed “Something from Nothing: the Art of Rap,” which will screen at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6. All screenings are free but ticketed and open to the public. The series is co-sponsored by the music school and the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology. While plenty of movies feature the music and style of hip-hop, Adams said he decided to avoid films — the
Eminem vehicle “8 Mile,” for example — that use the culture as a premise or frame. Rather, he said he wanted to focus on the inner workings of the genre. “I wanted things that show the remarkable degree that rappers really think about their craft,” he said. “For a lot of the public, I think they tend to think of rappers as uneducated buffoons who are going to go in the studio and talk about drugs and violence. (But) when you listen to these people talk — especially the interview with Eminem in the ‘Art of Rap’ movie is stunning, the way that he talks about creating lyrics ... They’re all very talented musicians.” Adams said the two documentaries he selected for the series work especially well in displaying the two halves of the series — “Freestyle” goes in-depth on the craft of the genre, while “Something from Nothing” sees Ice-T interviewing figures from across rap’s history. Adams said it was difficult to pick a third appropriate film, but he eventually realized “Wild Style” made sense to include. It’s one of the earliest documents of the genre, he said, and it reveals a part of the genre’s history that many modern fans may not know
“WILD STYLE” Free, but ticketed 7 p.m., Saturday, IU Cinema about. As far as places to educate young people on hip-hop, Adams said IU makes sense. While Bloomington may not be known for any local hip-hop scene, Adams said the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology has been studying the genre and culture for more than two decades, making it one of the country’s oldest programs. “It’s worth noting that other schools you go to would not take hip-hop studies very seriously, or even popular music in general,” he said. Adams said he hopes the series might refute perceptions of rap being violent or misogynistic and help viewers appreciate the talent and practice needed to create high-quality hip-hop. He remembered one moment from “Freestyle” in which a rapper discussed his habit of reading through his copy of a rhyming dictionary. “There’s tons of thought and planning and artistry that goes into what these guys and women do, and they have really concrete ideas about their craft and their art,” he said.
KINSEY CONFIDENTIAL
Above average: pleasing a partner with more than just size Kinsey Confidential is a service of the Kinsey Institute and the IU School of Public Health. For more good sex information, podcasts or to submit a question, visit us online at kinseyconfidential.org. I am 20 years old and my penis size is 6 inches long when erect. Is that good? I don’t think of penis size as “good” or “bad” — the penis is just another body part. If you’re wondering how your size compares to other men, I can tell you this — your erect penis is longer than average by about half an inch. Many men would love to have a six-inch penis and, if you are sexually active with women or men, most people will find a six-inch penis to be more than sufficient in terms of its capacity to provide sensation inside of them. But that’s about all a penis can do on its own — be felt in a vagina, anus, mouth or inside a partner’s hands. To create satisfying sexual experiences takes more than a penis or vagina of a certain size. Scientific research on sexuality tends to find one of the most important aspects
of sexual pleasure is intimacy, or how connected two people feel toward one another. Although many people have fun, satisfying or exciting experiences of casual sex, more often people say sex with someone they like a lot or who they are in love with is the most satisfying. As you explore your capacity for relationships and sexual experiences, try to get to know other people for who they are. If you have sex with people you don’t know very well, at least try to care about them as human beings. Find out what makes them feel funny, smart, sexy or otherwise appealing to you. Try to be yourself and be honest about what you like or don’t like — not just in sex, but also what kinds of foods or movies or books or hobbies you enjoy. Those are the first steps toward getting to know one another and how two people find out the ways they are similar or different and what’s appealing about being together. Technique matters a little, too, so you might like learning about different ways to pleasure a partner. Check out books like “Great in Bed,” “Sex Made
Easy,” “Moregasm” or “The Men’s Health Big Book of Sex.” Mostly, however, reading books about sex may help you feel more comfortable thinking and talking about sex, which may make it easier for you to talk to future partners about sex, share what you like and ask them what they might like to experience in bed. Comfortable communication about sex will make for way better sex than just penis size. You can also learn more about sexuality and become more comfortable with the topic by taking a human sexuality class — they are often offered through public health, psychology or sociology departments, but they may be in other departments too. Debby Herbenick is an associate professor at IU’s School of Public Health and a research fellow and sexual health educator at the Kinsey Institute. She’s the author of six books about sex. Her newest is “The Coregasm Workout.” Follow Kinsey Confidential on Twitter @KinseyCon and visit us online at www. kinseyconfidential.org.

Run-of-the-mill disaster film
Great actors, awful movie

When looking at the great disaster movies of our time, there is usually some semblance of reason for it to be made. Whether it be an allegory for a modern issue or a compelling human story within the disastrous events, there should be something more than just the disaster. But I got the sense when watching “Everest,” the new film detailing the real-life 1996 Mount Everest disaster, that somebody simply wanted a reason to make a movie about Mount Everest. There was no attempt to make the film about something more or to tell an inner story. It seemed like someone just found Jon Krakauer’s book “Into Thin Air” and said, “This works well enough.” To be clear, I give this movie a passing grade. There are a few subtly compelling storylines — primarily the ones explaining why these everyday people want to risk their lives to climb this mountain — but it is an overall joyless movie. I like sadness and despair from time to time, but there needs to be a reason for it. “Everest” was a simple retelling of events that punched
“The Intern” had everything going for it. Fresh and timely premise centered on a 70-year-old widower who finds fulfillment interning for a young businesswoman and founder of a successful start-up company? Check. Award-winning cast led by a delightfully charming Robert De Niro and badass feminist Anne Hathaway? Check. One of the most successful female directors of all time, responsible for classics such as “Parent Trap” and “What Women Want”? Check. The film started so strong, in hindsight it seems obvious the only way to go was down. Though I tried to put on the blinders and ignore the warning signs, the more it chugged along, the more it became apparent — director Nancy Meyers was directionless. “The Intern” opens with a monologue from De Niro’s character, Ben, a regular, happy old dude devoid of conflict who simply wants to be put to work. He finds his second calling as a senior intern at the company of Jules Ostin, portrayed by Hathaway.

viewers in the gut time and time again with no feeling it was for something. I suppose my question remains: Why is this movie being made? One thing I think director Baltasar Kormákur accomplished was allowing viewers to feel the pain of the mountain. I felt the mindnumbing cold of a freezing climber. When a climber’s hands got frostbite, I cringed in my seat and felt the anguish alongside him. Yes, I cared about the characters, and that means something, but my struggles go back to the joyless aspect and the gut punches. When “Game of Thrones” kills a beloved character, it feels deserved and necessary. This did not. But I fell in love with Doug Hansen, the mailman and carpenter who wants to reach the peak on his second try just to prove to school children that a regular guy can do

anything. I wanted group guide Rob Hall to make it home to his pregnant wife. Yet this reminds me how confused I was at the impressive cast. Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, Jason Clarke, Keira Knightley and John Hawkes are in this movie, but why? Knightley signed up just to be a worried wife on a couch. Gyllenhaal’s character brings nothing to the film other than a cool beard. You get the impression they all were promised an epic classic that the movie failed to achieve. Only Hawkes, who plays Hansen, and Clarke, who plays Hall, seem to have picked roles that elevate them in any way. I was entertained watching “Everest,” and there were aspects I admired, but I left with no inspiration or passion. I felt dead inside. An adventure movie should make me feel more. Brody Miller

Though Jules is chronically overworked and too busy to notice, Ben quickly becomes an office hit with his traditional methods, work ethic and handkerchief. Yes, handkerchief. This useless piece of snot cloth turns out to be a big deal to the script writers, who ensure you know exactly how important it is to carry one. Hint: it’s just another metaphor for old-fashioned values. By the end of the film, Ben has filled the empty hole in his life with a pseudonuclear family of people from the office, complete with a masseuse girlfriend and Jules, for whom he ends up playing a substitute parent role. As an intern, work literally becomes Ben’s life — and if that isn’t a sad commentary of what corporate America expects of today’s interns, I don’t know what is. The film is complicated even further by Jules’ home life, where she is barely keeping it together as the breadwinner for her stay-at-home husband and daughter. When Ben finds out Jules’ husband is cheating on her, the wheels really fall off. Here, the film could have made a strong statement about women’s values, but is bogged down instead by the fact that Ben can’t figure out how to tell Jules about the affair in the first place.

long and uncomfortable time for him to break the news, we find out Jules already knows, and she recognizes the contrived nature of her situation — so meta! — and she wants to take a smaller role in her company so she can mend her broken family and stay with her cheating husband. But don’t worry, irate feminists, because she only kind of does that. After making us sit through 121 minutes of pointless exposé, weird moments of slapstick comedy and dialogue so static and kitschy the backing track was the only thing keeping it moving, “The Intern” ends with Jules deciding she will keep her control of her company and her family intact. And how will her husband become a better man, you ask? By carrying a handkerchief. “The Intern” is a raging disappointing because Meyers fails to advance her exceptional premise, destroying it in the process. It could have been a provocative social commentary. It could have been a whimsical comedy. Heck, I would have even settled for a generic family film. But it tried to be all three, and was therefore a heaping crap-pile of time, effort and money.

Take a paws and listen to an album made up of cat sounds ‘Meow the Jewels’ Run the Jewels A+ I’m a dog person. Anyone who has ever met me or checked my Internet browsing history, where I’ll end up looking at pictures of puppies for hours on end, would know that about me (shout-out to my dog, Rascal, who will never read this). With that said, I’ve had difficulties in adapting to the cat-based online world that has become so prevalent. Keyboard Cat is cool, I guess. But, it’s not because he’s a feline but just a wonderful musician. Grumpy Cat is OK in my book, too. However, if I ever met the legend herself I’d surely get bored and end up looking at
dogs on Twitter. Also, I just learned about Lil BUB and I don’t really get the appeal. Please don’t burn me at the stake, I just need you, the reader, to understand my deep indifference toward cats. With all of that said, “Meow the Jewels,” the new remix album by hip-hop duo Run the Jewels, is quite possibly the album of the year. Consisting of rappers El P and Killer Mike, Run the Jewels has become my favorite rap group in recent memory. Its debut album titled “Run the Jewels” and follow-up album aptly called “Run the Jewels 2” were both smash hits. Believe me when I say their music is much more original than their album naming. The reason “Meow the Jewels” is even a thing is because of a Kickstarter to raise money for the second album. When creating the funding platform, the duo
jokingly put in a pre-order package that stated if someone were to donate $40,000, Run the Jewels would remix its album with nothing but cat sounds. Promptly, a Kickstarter was created for that campaign. It raised more than $65,000 and Run the Jewels’ gag-gift was now a reality. The Internet is a weird place. Perhaps the first place we should start is that every song on the album incorporates a cat pun. This album is so up my alley it’s kind of a shame I didn’t think of it. Songs such as “All Meow Life” (“All My Life”), “Paw Due Respect” (“All Due Respect”) and “Meowpurrdy” (Jeopardy) each add to the overwhelming catness of the album. Now, let’s get into the songs themselves, which deserve multiple listens. Someone new produces

each song — mostly because listening to cat sounds over and over can make any sane person lose their mind. This creates such splits between each remix, as the respective producers put their own spin on their song.
These songs aren’t just recreated but meddled with in such a way that it creates a new sound. It’s a gag album, but it’s also so good in its innovation. The ingenious lyrics that accompany every Run the
Jewels album are still there, but the backdrop is as distinctive as ever. Meow, that’s what I call music. Greg Gottfried
