Same-sex marriage debated by courts

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyernsberger

“Wouldn’t it be better for these adopted children of homosexual couples if their parents were married?”

“Of course the state is –” “Now answer my question.”

Solicitor General Thomas Fisher, representing the state in this case, was interrupted within his first sentences by Judge Ann Claire Williams, according to audio recordings of the proceedings, asking why benefits for children adopted by same-sex couples were not the same as those adopted by heterosexual parents.

Arguments for Baskin v. Bogan, the case for same-sex couples in Indiana, were heard by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago Tuesday morning. Neither side had an easy 20 minutes to explain its arguments to a three-judge panel.

IU sophomore Tanner Thompson might as well have been born on a soccer field.

That’s where he was destined to be, like most of his family.

His father, Gregg, was a member of the first IU championship team in 1982.

Gregg was co-captain of the team and scored both goals in the 2-1 eight-overtime victory in the finals against Duke. He was also a member of the 1984 United States Olympic team where he scored in a game against Egypt.

His older brother, Tyler, is a junior on the Stanford Cardinal soccer team that is ranked No. 20 in the NCAA preseason poll. Tyler started all 21 games in the midfield during

his sophomore season.

His cousin Bobby de St. Aubin also played for IU, reaching the College Cup semifinals in 2000.

His younger brother, Tommy, also played for IU this past season before becoming the first-ever homegrown signing for Major League Soccer’s San José Earthquakes.

Tommy has started the past two games at forward and appears to have become a regular starter.

This season will be the first time Tanner and Tommy will not be passing and dribbling around opposing defenses together since they were both competing in U-13’s.

Tanner and Tommy have always been together. They knew they wanted to play college soccer together, and IU Coach Todd Yeagley recruited them as a package deal.

Tanner even convinced Tommy to graduate high school a year early so they could be college freshmen at the same time.

“It’s a little different,” Tanner said. ”But I’m getting chemistry going with these other guys like Femi (Hollinger-Janzen), (Andrew) Oliver and now Jay coming in. It’ll take some time.”

One thing that will remain unchanged is Tanner’s competitive edge.

In four seasons at Grantite Bay High School in Loomis, Calif., Tanner lost one league match. He was named Sierra Foothill League MVP in 2011 after setting the school record for assists with 21.

It’s that competitive edge that explains his summer in Bloomington.

Most commonly known for playing “Garf” in the 2014 film “Neighbors,” stand-up comedian Jerrod Carmichael will be performing at the Comedy Attic Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Carmichael’s stand-up recently earned him a spot in the Oddball Festival, a comedy tour featuring performers like Jim Gaffigan and Amy Schumer.

“I really liked what I saw when I first saw him,” Jared Thompson, owner of the Comedy Attic said.

Thompson said most people are either really good at comedy and unlikable or likable but not very talented.

Carmichael both has talent and is likable, Thompson said.

Though Carmichael is relatively new to the comedy business, Thompson said he wanted to get Carmichael to come to the Comedy Attic for more than a year now.

Thompson said when he looks for acts, he is concerned far less with history and experience than talent and finding a person who can both draw a crowd in and entertain patrons.

“This’ll be his first time in,” Thompson said, commenting on how Carmichael’s busy schedule has kept him from Bloomington.

Bloomington is ready for what Carmichael has to offer them, and should be able to experiment with his material in this venue, Thompson said.

Increase in IMU parking rates due to labor costs

By Megan Jula mjula@indiana.edu | @MeganJula

Parking prices at the Indiana Memorial Union parking lots increased by a nickel this August.

From 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, parking rates are now $2.00 per half hour.

The lots are owned by the IMU and have no affiliation with IU Parking Operations, which sells student parking passes and manages IU garages.

Hollie Lutz, assistant director for meeting and conference services at the IMU, deals with parking on a regular basis.

She said IMU parking prices never rise very quickly and are in response to outside factors.

“The cost of labor has gone up,” Lutz said. “The University has raised its minimum wage. Everything has gone up in price.”

IU Parking Operations also raised the prices of parking permits this year, ranging from an additional $37.56 for the A pass to $5.52 more for an F pass. Parking garage rates did not increase from the past year, said Sara Murray, office assistant to the parking operations office.

Since 2004, the IMU rates have gone up 40 cents per half hour during the weekday, but the increase between individual years was never more than a nickel.

Lutz explained that keeping drivers happy with the IMU lots is

about finding a middle ground.

“We try to create balance, so the guests of the IMU and students who desire to park in the middle of campus can do so,” she said. “Parking in the center of campus is at a premium. If you make the price too low the parking lots would be filled early in the morning.“

By offering a half-off discount on parking to patrons, the IMU is attempting to bring their customers into the building, she said.

In the past fiscal year, 161,284 cars parked in the IMU lots. A decade ago, about 70,000 more cars were parking in the IMU lots each year. Lutz attributed the decline to improved bus transportation and

increasing numbers of IU lots.

She remembers 10 years ago when cars waited in long lines to pay for IMU parking, she said.

“I understand no one likes to pay for parking.” she said. “If it was a free lot it would be sold out instantaneously. I don’t know of anywhere where people thank you to take your money to park.”

Protestors promote awareness of the recent shooting in Ferguson, Mo., with a “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” gesture Tuesday at Showalter Fountain.

Students rally to support Ferguson

By Dani Castonzo dcastanz@indiana.edu @dani_castonzo

About 40 IU students gathered Tuesday night at the Showalter Fountain to rally in support of the people of Ferguson, Mo., and the unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, 18, who was shot and killed by a local police officer.

Asia Harris, a master’s student in public health, organized the event one week ago.

“This is a great chance to help these people that are facing injustice, even across the country,” Harris said.

Harris spoke to the group of students about the importance of reaching out to diverse groups of people and communities.

“I want to make sure we’re not turning a blind eye to things we’re seeing,” Harris said. “Don’t think that just because you’re not a black male doesn’t mean you can’t stand up for a black male issue.”

Second-year grad student Lindsay Luzania was one of about 40 people who attended the rally for Ferguson.

“IU needs to use their voice and power to stand up for those who don’t have power and demonstrate that

we won’t stand for hate,” Luzania said.

After Harris’ speech, the students gathered and took a photo with their hands up, referring to the “Hands up, Don’t Shoot” demonstrations, as a gesture that has become a widespread symbol of solidarity among supporters and protesters.

By discussing and raising awareness of the events in Ferguson, Harris said she hopes to use the vast number of people and resources on campus to help people outside of IU. “We wanted to give folks the chance to discuss what

happened in Missouri,” said Cedric Harris, Residential Programs and Services associate director of residential life. “We wanted to make sure effected students could express themselves.”

Asia Harris said she hopes to organize three more events in September, also co-sponsored by Union Board.

She said she hopes to host an Express Yourself mic night at the Indiana Memorial Union and Know Your Rights events that will inform students about what legal rights they have.

She said she also wants to organize an event with

CHECK OUT THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY For a behind the scenes look at the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” demonstration visit idsnews.com the IU Police Department to bring students and police on campus together to discuss campus issues and prevent a “mistrust of the system.”

The goal of these events is to maintain an active dialogue, even after the Ferguson is not as frequently covered in the news, Cedric Harris said.

“I want to talk about those things before they happen here,” Asia Harris said.

IU offers experts to speak on Michael Brown killing, aftermath From IDS reports

In the wake of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., IU is offering several experts available to speak on the subject.

Jeannine Bell is a police behavior and hate crimes expert and professor in the Maurer School of Law. She has written extensively on both policing and criminal justice issues., according to the University.

Just in the past month, four other black men have been killed by the police in the United States, according to the release.

“Although the circum-

stances of these tragic killings are all slightly different, they have one thing in common,” Bell said in the release.

“These men were killed because the police saw them as dangerous suspects, even though emerging witness accounts suggest that several of the individuals killed did not pose a serious bodily threat to the officers who responded with deadly force.”

Bell said in the release that this shows the need for a systematic change in the police system, saying that the killing of unarmed black citizens will not be stopped until police culture changes.

“The best way to change

the culture is get police officers to see blacks not just as suspects but also as crime victims,” Bell said in the release.

IU Media School professor Anthony Fargo offers insight on the detention of news media by the police, which also occurred in Ferguson.

Two reporters from national media publications have been detained by police in Ferguson for no public safety reason, Fargo, director for the Media School’s Center for International Media Law and Policy Studies, said in the release.

Coupled with other in-

stances of police aggression toward journalists, the situation in Ferguson raises questions on police keeping their actions hidden from the public eye, he said in the release.

“The detentions in Ferguson are, unfortunately, part of a larger pattern that has emerged in recent years involving police overreacting, often illegally, to being photographed and recorded in public places by journalists and other citizens,” Fargo said.

Valerie Grim, chair of the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, said in the release that while Michael

Brown’s killing was tragic, it wasn’t necessarily surprising.

“Not only is racism individual and societal but institutional and structural,” she said in the release. “This is why a minority group, as in formerly apartheid South Africa, can rule and dominate a majority for decades.

In every situation where racial dominance exists, change has to happen not only in relation to positions of power, as in a minority becoming president of the United States; it has to be structural and spiritual.”

Details surface for this year’s Patten Lecture

By Anna Hyzy akhyzy@indiana.edu | @annakhyzy

Details have surfaced in this year’s first Patten Lectures, a tradition that has brought more than 150 scholars to IU since 1937, according to the William T. Patten Foundation’s website.

The year’s lecturers were announced in the spring, and philosopher John Searle will be the first to present.

The details of Searle’s lectures were announced Tuesday in a press release.

His lectures “Consciousness as a Problem in Philosophy and Neurobiology” and “The Logical Structure of Human Civilization” will be from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Sep. 9 and 11 at Presidents Hall in Franklin Hall.

Indermohan Virk, execu-

tive director of the William T. Patten Foundation, said Patten lecturers are selected for their stature in their fields and their ability to appeal to a wider audience.

“While many are indeed specialists in their field, we also want to pick folks who are going to have the widest appeal and their work sort of transcends disciplinary boundaries or the boundaries of their narrow field,” she said.

Virk said Patten lecturers are selected by a committee of faculty members and a representative from the IU Student Association and the IU Graduate and Professional Student Organization.

The committee receives nominations from IU faculty and reviews them, selecting

typically three a year.

As part of the nomination form, faculty must confirm that the speaker they are nominating is willing to commit to being a Patten lecturer.

“It’s a week long commitment, so not everyone is willing to do that,” Virk said.

During a Patten lecturer’s time at IU, he or she gives two lectures, shares a meal with the Cox Scholars, Hutton Honors College students and Wells Scholars.

The other events vary by speaker, Virk said.

Searle will be meeting with philosophy students.

Virk said Searle was selected for not only being a renowned philosopher but also for affecting the greater intellectual landscape.

“It’s not just philosophers

who read the work of John Searle,” she said. “It’s linguists. It’s cognitive scientists.

It’s informatics majors.”

Searles is the William S. and Marion Slusser Professor of Philosophy at the University of California-Berkeley, and, recently, his research of language has pushed him to study social philosophy, according to the press release.

“I have high expectations of him, but I have high expectations of every Patten lecturer,” she said.

The other two lecturers this year will be author Amitav Ghosh and Naomi Oreskes, philosopher of science, professor of the history of science, and Harvard University earth and planetary sciences affiliated professor.

Oreskes will speak from

7:30 to 9 p.m. March 9 and 11 in Presidents Hall.

Ghosh will speak from 7:30 to 9 p.m. April 7 and 9 with the location yet to be determined.

The titles of Oreskes’ and Ghosh’s lectures have not yet been announced.

Virk said she hopes Patten lectures are intellectually stimulating to students.

In her five years as director of the Patten foundation, Virk said she has never missed a Patten lecture.

“If someone were to wander into a Patten lecture, my hope would be that he or she would leave feeling pretty inspired,” she said. “And having attended all of these lectures in my time, I can say I’ve always just left dazzled.”

IU is taking one more step toward helping students finish their degrees.

The new Graduate Mentorship Center seeks to provide graduate students with services and training that will allow them to be better mentored.

At the same time, they will also learn better how to mentor others through workshops and speakers, said Maria Hamilton Abegunde, newly named director of the Graduate Mentorship Center.

Abegunde earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from Northwestern University, a Master of Arts in women and gender studies from DePaul University, and a Ph.D. from IU’s Department of African American and African Diaspora studies, the first person to do so.

National research shows that the two greatest factors affecting degree completion are money and mentoring, said James Wimbush, vice president for equity, diversity and multicultural affairs and dean for the University Graduate School.

“So, what we’re hoping to do with the mentorship center is to actually create resources around community building but also providing students with the types of assistance needed to help them as they do their research, write their dissertations,” he said.

The new center was funded by the President’s Diversity Initiative last year and is to be housed in the Unviersity Graduate School as soon as next semester.

“I had spoken with the president about diversity and the diversity building we had tried with the Graduate School, but that we just simply didn’t have the adequate resources available to do all of the wonderful things that we had on our wish list,” Wimbush said.

He also said that funding for recruitment, helping students finish dissertations, and funding for mentoring were among priorities on his wishlist.

“Completing our degrees can be very isolated,” Abegunde said. “We spend a lot of our time at our desk and at the library.”

A personal relationship between the mentor and the mentee, therefore, is important, she said.

“A mentoring relationship is a structured relationship, but it’s also a caring relationship and one that’s built on trust in which both the mentor and the mentee accept certain responsibilities,” Abegunde said. “And part of that is that the relationship helps focus on the needs of the mentee.”

Abegunde said she plans to create new programs within the center and integrate existing programs into the center.

She added that one of her tasks will be to know more fully what is already offered by talking to a wide range of students and faculty both groups and individuals.

“I think it’s really important to have input from students across the board,” Abegunde said.

Cathi Crabtree, chair of the City of Bloomington Commission on the Status of Women, helps rededicate a plaque Tuesday in memory of Susan B. Anthony’s visit to Bloomington during the Women’s Suffrage Movement.

Women’s equality honored

By Suzanne Grossman spgrossm@indiana.edu @suzannepaige6

A crowd of people stood in the afternoon heat Tuesday to witness the rededication of a commemorative plaque to Susan B. Anthony for the nationally celebrated Women’s Equality Day. The plaque was originally dedicated in 2012 but was taken down three weeks ago for building remodeling.

The City of Bloomington Commission on the Status of Women and the Monroe County Women’s Commission planned the event in conjunction with Women’s Equality Day because of Susan B. Anthony’s historic visit in 1887.

That visit started the women’s rights movement in Bloomington, MCWC Chair Efrat Feferman said.

“We have a proud tradition of being leaders in social justice here in Monroe County,” Feferman said.

“This is a commemoration to the roots of a particular movement, so I think it’s

neat to celebrate, honor and highlight.”

The rededication took place outside the new Seaview Outfitters store on the downtown Square. The site used to be Walnut Street Presbyterian Church, where Anthony spoke during one of her two visits.

“It was really exciting for me to learn that Susan B. Anthony had been here,” BCSW Chair Cathi Crabtree said.

“She campaigned on a national level for women’s suffrage but thought small Bloomington was important enough to come to.”

Aside from celebrating Anthony’s visits to Bloomington, Crabtree said she hoped the event would raise awareness for women’s issues.

“My main goal for today is to highlight the importance of women voting and women getting the right to vote in 1920,” Crabtree said.

“Women are voting in greater numbers than men, so I’m glad we’re not squandering that right.”

Not only did the event identify various advances in women’s equality, but it also shed light on the improvements the group believes still need to be made.

“I hope the event will raise awareness about how far we have come, but also how far we have yet to go,” Crabtree said.

“Disparities still exist between women and men, and I hope this is an invitation to people to stay engaged and continue to make changes for the betterment of women.”

Bloomington policies on women align almost directly with those of the state and nation, Crabtree said.

“On boards and commissions, women still represent about 33 percent of statutory commissions but around 50 percent of nonstatutory commissions,” Crabtree said.

“This is important because statutory commissions are the ones made by law and that can implement policy.”

Feferman said poverty,

access to healthcare, violence and sexual assault are also challenges women face disproportionately.

Bloomington resident Sarah Ryterband attended the rededication as well as the original dedication. She said this time around, there were only about one-third of the amount people than there were at the original event.

However, she said the event still reminded her that “the job’s not done” when it comes to fighting for women’s rights. She said she hopes women will register to vote and stay informed about the upcoming election.

Registering to vote, staying educated about women’s rights issues and getting involved were all things Feferman said help ensure women’s equality.

“I know women in places of power doesn’t equate with better opportunities for other women,” Ryterband said. “But without women in power, it’s much too easy for it to be a boy’s club.”

The Upland Brewing Company is making some changes to its restaurant located on the 300 block of West 11th Street.

New accommodations at the restaurant include a second bar, a larger kitchen and additional restrooms, Communications Coordinator Emily Hines said.

“We really want the place to be more spacious and enhance the flow of our patrons,” she said.

“We really want to add more space for our regular patrons, but we also want to bring in new customers,” Hines said.

She said they expect to see a significant increase in occupancy.

Renovating the restaurant began this summer and is expected to continue until mid- to late-September.

“The one bar we have was always crowded,” Hines said.

“The whole place would be crowded on the weekends, and it was hard for people to move. We were ready to expand and serve more customers.”

The Upland Brewing Company is also looking to bring changes to its products.

Officials announced in a press release that Upland Brewing Company would begin canning two of its more popular brews: Wheat Ale and Dragonfly IPA. “We started working with cans this spring when we canned the Campfire Session IPA,” said Upland Brewing Company marketing director Andrea Lutz. “It was something we put out into the market this April, and it got out to all of our markets, including Wrigley Field.”

Because of its popularity, the company decided to continue the canning process with its flagship brews, Lutz said.

Since it is well-known by consumers for its bottled beer, the company does not expect the newly canned alcohol to overtake the original

“The whole place would be crowded on the weekends, and it was hard for people to move. We were ready to expand and serve more customers.”

Emily Hines, Upland Brewing Company communications coordinator

product, she said.

The reasoning behind the new cans is versatility, Lutz said.

“We want people to be able to take their beer and enjoy it while they go camping or on boats,” Lutz said. “It’s more for outdoor recreation, where people shouldn’t have to worry about breaking glass.”

Abel Garcia, a beer aficionado and bartender at the Quaff On! gastropub, said the cans will help to better serve multiple consumers.

Selling cans is about selling a lifestyle, he said.

Bloomington is a college town and a lot of people enjoy outdoor recreation. Cans have higher selling opportunity for these lifestyles.

Garcia also said not switching entirely to cans was a wise business move.

Bottles have less packaging from the companies who produce them, making them aesthetically pleasing and more appreciable.

The Upland Brewing Company is currently in its 16th year. It started off as a single restaurant and brewery in the downtown area.

In 2012, the business opened a separate brewery location on the west side of Bloomington.

The company has also moved beyond Indiana and has markets in Chicago, Cincinnati, Wisconsin and Louisville, Ky. “We’re not looking so much to expand out into newer markets other than what we already have,” Hines said. “We’re concentrating more on our Indiana location.”

Challenge accepted-ish WE SAY: The ice bucket challenge is great, but maybe not for us

ILLUSTRATION BY EMMA WENNINGER | IDS

By now most of us have seen one, two or 87 videos of friends, family and colleagues undertaking the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

The challenge began as a way to raise funds and awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease or ALS. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease. It affects the nerve cells that give the brain its ability to control muscle movement, leading to paralysis.

The ALS Association credits the viral jumpstart of the Ice Bucket Challenge to Pete Frates.

Frates was a Division 1 college athlete. In 2012 he was diagnosed with ALS. Now 29 years old, Frates and his family used Facebook and Twitter to send the challenge viral.

People who participate in the challenge dump a bucket of ice water over their heads. In turn, they nominate people who either accept the challenge or donate money to the ALS Association. Or they can do both.

Lady Gaga, Bill Gates, Bene-

dict Cumberbatch and Oprah are among the high-profile public figures who stepped up to the plate.

For a few glorious seconds we, the people, got to see our stars and heroes gape in shock.

And then there was Charlie Sheen. Sheen pretended to lift a bowl of ice water over his head.

When he turned the bowl over, money fluttered to the floor. It was $10,000, to be exact.

“Ice is gonna melt, but this money is going to actually help people,” Sheen said in the video.

The beauty of the ice bucket challenge is the sense of solidarity it brings to the cause.

Not everyone can donate $10,000. But anyone can dump some ice water over his or her head.

The ice bucket challenge does run the risk of becoming another social fad.

But we shouldn’t let that keep us from doing the challenge for the right reasons.

In fact, the Indiana Daily Student was nominated for the challenge earlier this week. After careful

deliberation among management, it was decided that it would not be appropriate for the staff, being a news organization, to participate.

There are bound to be varied opinions as to whether or not a news organization should or should not participate in the challenge. As journalists, the IDS staff is dedicated to providing an open forum for its readers to engage with the news and each other while maintaining objectivity.

Participating risks compromising the principals the staff maintains and any future stories it may print regarding the challenge.

The IDS does not criticize those participating in the challenge. The Editorial Board recognizes it as a successful means to raise awareness of ALS and collect donations.

As of Aug. 25, the movement has raised at least $79.7 million, according to the ALS Association. The Editorial Board hopes the number continues to grow, and as people continue participating in the challenge, they do it for the right reasons.

Excessive exercise A couple of months ago, I was hanging out with friends and we decided to grab some beer.

We’re all of legal drinking age, and we figured it’d be a fun way to chill for the night.

We popped over to Kroger and grabbed a pack.

As I was getting in the car, an undercover police officer rapped on the window and demanded to see our IDs. At the time I was pretty pissed. It seemed to me the time and money could have been better used catching criminals than interrupting part of my friends’ and my evening.

Are the Excise Police’s efforts wasted?

How effective is trying to stop students from drinking?

During the Welcome Week weekend, the IDS reported that State Excise Police arrested 74 people.

Illegal possession and consumption, trying to get into bars with fakes, selling alcohol to minors, drunk driving; the rap sheet is long.

Some of it I get.

Drunk driving is a terribly dangerous thing and should be stopped. But others are harder to categorically denounce.

60 of the arrests were kids too young getting caught.

What’s that compared to the number of underage kids who snuck by? Monday, 7,708 students started their first year at IU. How many of them do you think drank illegally?

How many were sent to the hospital?

I’m guessing most who drank had a fine, uneventful time. Maybe a bad hangover.

But drinking can be a problem for college students. The Pew Charitable

Trusts reported that 18- to 20-year-olds have the second highest rate of binge drinking, beaten only by 21to 25-year-olds.

It’s no surprise many alcohol problems can start in college. You’re free and independent, you want to have fun and cut loose and no one tells you when to stop.

It’s even worse if you’ve never had booze before, and don’t know what addiction looks like until it’s crept up behind you.

Police are never going to be able to stop underage drinking. College students like it too much, and where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Lowering the drinking age could help. Give kids a chance to ease into it instead of going way too hard the first time they’re away from home.

It would save a lot of time.

Promoting the Indiana Lifeline Law is a good step, but more can be done.

I think it comes down to treating kids like they’re adults, instead of expecting them to transform overnight.

Give them time.

Give them more rights and responsibilities, and let them grow on their own.

Maybe then we won’t have to arrest so many. sckroll@indiana.edu

MIND THE GAP

A comedy of errors Almost 10 years ago, Dave Chappelle walked away from his hit Comedy Central TV show and $50 million dollars, in part because his audience didn’t “get it.”

Chappelle wanted us to laugh at racism, but too many of us were laughing with it.

It’s a common problem in comedy: The artist’s intent can get lost in the space between the stage and the audience, leaving listeners to create their own meaning.

Exaggerating black stereotypes becomes an endorsement instead of a critique.

A joke about rape culture is misunderstood to ridicule the victim.

An attempt to dissect white privilege becomes a celebration of it.

Even the smartest comedian can’t account for the dumbest audience member.

Some, such as Chappelle, choose to wait until the audience catches up.

Whether or not to reclaim harmful words is a similar dilemma.

The IDS has run several columns in the past debating the merits of reclamation.

Lexia Banks insisted that “blacks using the n-word is still racist,” while Sam Ostrowski encouraged us to “keep saying faggot.”

I’ve walked in Bloomington’s Slut Walk, ironically taking on the moniker to mock a Canadian policeman’s ignorance.

I love slang words for female genitalia, becasue why should they be bad?

I’ve engaged in my fair share of reclamation, but I’m not sure it’s helping anyone.

This summer I went abroad, thrown together with tens of strangers who became my support system for two months.

Early on, I noticed we tossed the word “slut” around a lot. Like Chappelle, I started to worry that some of these people didn’t “get it.”

Most of us are not comedians, at least not professionally, but we all have an

audience.

We have people who listen to us, people who take cues from the words we use and how we use them.

However judgment-free my “slutty” is intended to be, people who don’t know me well lack the context for understanding.

At best I might look like a hypocrite, and at worst I seem to be endorsing negative attitudes about female sexuality and sex work.

Proffering “pussy” and “cunt” as acceptable nouns around strangers might allow them as adjectives in ways I hadn’t anticipated, my alternative usage inadvertently permitting those entrenched in sexism.

In certain contexts, this is never a concern. Among an in-group that is struggling with the merits of reclamation together, this risk of misunderstanding starts to vanish.

Many black people agree they can say the n-word among each other.

The f-word can work similarly among gay people.

Most attendees of Slut Walk understand this slut’s intent, whether or not they agree with it.

But if the goal of reclamation is to change a harmful word into a celebratory one, this kind of group-specific meaning hardly seems effective.

To society at large, these words remain hateful symbols of oppression and disgust.

I’m not certain how much responsibility we can really take for the ways in which our words are misunderstood.

OUR CHANGED WORLD

While America slept It was 2011, and there was a tide of revolution across the Arab world.

Much like the fall of the Soviet Union, longtime dictators and military strongmen were finally seeing their oppressive governments in shambles.

But one of the worst results has been the debacle in Syria.

For three years now, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has held onto his once-tenuous grip on power in Damascus.

With the West paralyzed in fear at the prospect of embroiling themselves in another conflict in the Middle East, the military stalemate continues to fester.

But in avoiding one conflict, the United States might have reopened the door to further conflict in Iraq.

I wrote earlier in the summer that unless we are willing to face the Balkanization of the Middle East, the United States will continue to be involved in global affairs.

But since the Obama Administration’s decision to wash our hands and sweep Iraq under the rug, the rapidly deteriorating situation in northern Iraq, kept only in check through American airstrikes, can be squarely attributed to Bashar Al-Assad.

During his turbulent first years of revolt, Al-Assad quickly realized his most dangerous enemies were those of the Free Syrian Army, who called for liberalization and democracy.

Knowing full well that these rebels would be embraced and funded by the West as well as the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia, AlAssad quickly found a solution in a group we know as the Islamic State in Iraq and

the Levant.

In Al-Assad’s defense, he did not purposefully send them direct aid, as ISIL was also against the idea of him governing Syria.

The Wall Street Journal reported that by focusing his energy on wiping out the FSA forces while leaving ISIL untouched, Al-Assad effectively allowed ISIL to metastasize.

In addition, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s facesaving agreement to preserve Al-Assad’s presidency made it virtually impossible for America to strike the true perpetrator of this disaster, never mind the hypocrisy of Putin’s aggressive moves to combat Islamic extremism in Chechnya.

It was a masterstroke for the dictator, as he was able to de-legitimatize the greatest threat to his power and distract America from the true reason ISIL has run roughshod over Iraq in one fell swoop.

It was yet another case of divide and conquer, but one that Al-Assad will rely on America for the conquering, leading to the airstrikes in Iraq and talks of additional action against ISIL in Syria but not against Al-Assad.

And even worse, our failure to act may put us in the disastrous position of working with Assad out of pure necessity to combat ISIL, which legitimizes a regime that we were intent on toppling only a year ago.

We’ve been had. mjsu@indiana.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Cellphone use while driving should be a personal choice According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, 14 states have enacted laws against hand-held use of cell phones by all drivers. These 14 states include 11 blue states, two swing states and one red state. These bans are already in effect in 12 states; two of them will become effective within the next year. Be aware that when you cross a state line, you could be committing a crime.

These laws have been justified by claims that 25 percent of the nation’s car accidents are “caused” by cell phones. The claim, however, that a given behavior “causes” a particular result is a claim that requires scientific support. Data indicates that 25 percent of accidents occur while the driver is using the cell phone (or is in the process of initiating or completing the interaction). That, however, is not the same as being the “cause” of the accident. More information is needed.

For example, if most people are using their cell phones half of the time they are driving, the fact that 25 percent of accidents are associated with cell phone use would suggest that cell phones might actually be beneficial rather than risky. Without this informa-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Mourning Keijzer As an IU-Bloomington alumnus (2011), I think I share the same type of condolences about Karlijn Keijzer as the rest of my former classmates. This news is heartbreaking and sad. The rebels that did this need to be brought to justice, and this investigation needs to continue.

Karlijn Keijzer wasn’t well known at the IU campus until her tragic death. I remember her most from athletics, leading the rowing team to a winning 14-5 record and being a scholar-athlete.

During 2011, it was an IU women’s year for athletics compared to the men. The sports of rowing, women’s soccer and women’s volleyball all went deep into major playoff contention.

Karlijn Keijzer, however, was one of my classmates.

I felt compelled to write in because I feel it helps the victim’s family mourn when people share great memories about their loss. She was part of my 2011 commencement class. I was, however, an undergraduate student, and she was finishing her graduate degree.

On a personal level, I met Karlijn Keijzer only a couple of times as a student. I didn’t have any personal relationship with her or her family.

I remember meeting her at Wright Quad to eat dinner, and at dinner she invited me to come to one of her rowing matches since she saw I had a great interest in sports at the University. She came across to me as kind, intelligent and dedicated toward her program of studies.

tion, there is no way to contextualize the risk.

If indeed cell phones are “causing” accidents, then it would be reasonable to guess — though many other variables might also have an effect — that there would be more accidents in recent years than in the previous years when cell phones were rare. According to the National Safety Council, the number of annual accidents in 1990 and 1995 (11.1 million) was somewhat higher than the number of annual accidents from 2005 to 2009 (10.5 million).

The data does not appear to be consistent with the claim.

During the same years, the number of traffic deaths was also down. The number of annual traffic deaths in 1990 and 1995 (45,100) was somewhat higher than the number of annual traffic deaths from 2005 to 2009 (42,000).

Once again, the data does not appear to be consistent with the claim. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that highway deaths in the past five years remain at historic lows.

Even if it were true that cell phones “cause” these accidents, there is no way to measure how many potential

accidents were avoided because of cell phones. It is not sufficient to consider the added risks associated with cell phone use; one must also consider the possibility of added benefits of cell phone use.

I live in a state (Pennsylvania) that does not have a hand-held ban. On one particular occasion, I recall driving home (75 minutes) from the airport late at night after an intensive business trip. At the very same hour, my wife was driving in another state (which also did not have a hand-held ban), from a large university hospital. Her mother was in intensive care. My wife was returning to her brother’s home, a 55-minute commute. Needless to say, we were both exhausted. There was little traffic on the roads; there were no weather issues. For each of us, the primary risk factor was sleepiness. That night we talked each other home.

State governments have important roles to play in legislating driving behavior. Any driving fatality is one too many. Three additional states have passed hand-held bans for novice drivers. I fully support such legislation, as there is a steep learning curve associated with driving on the road.

We instructed our boys in their early driving years not to use their phones while driving, not even to talk to us.

Also, most states have passed legislation against texting. This makes total intuitive sense to me, although, I admit that there is not enough data yet to definitively conclude that texting “causes” accidents. However, I can think of no reasonable argument to support any unique potential benefits of texting while driving.

The question for the experienced adult driver is this: “Should I myself be able to make the decision as to when cell phone use is appropriate and helpful in my particular situation, or should the state government have the authority to make a blanket ban against my cell phone use?” Until there is sufficient empirical evidence to support the claim that cell phone use “causes” traffic accidents, I think that cell phone use should be my personal decision rather than a matter of government legislation.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The United police States of America Ferguson, Missouri’s police department has released its report on the Aug. 9 shooting death of teenager Michael Brown, a redacted document that American Civil Liberties Union attorney Tony Rothert said violates Missouri’s Sunshine Law by omitting key information.

Brown’s death at the hands of a Ferguson police officer provoked impassioned demonstrations and debates on police brutality and the very nature of policing in the United States, leading many observers to wonder if Americans are now living in a fullfledged police state.

But what is a “police state”? The phrase has become an almost commonplace feature of our conversation on police violence and militarization, a convenient way to give voice to growing fears about deteriorating civil liberties. The history of the phrase offers insight into its contemporary usage, a way to analyze the current situation in the United States and decide whether indeed we Americans now live under a police state.

Historian and political scientist Mark Neocleous explains that the “term Polizeistaat, usually translated as ‘police state,’ came into general English usage in the 1930s,” increasingly used at that time to describe totalitarian governments, such as those of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.

Still, Neocleous is quick to clarify that, notwithstanding this popular 20thcentury usage, it presents a “historical problem” to the extent that it suggests

a certain inappropriate picture of “the original ‘police states.’” Those original police states were, rather than brutal, totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany, early predecessors to the modern welfare state, or Wohlfahrtsstaat.

Given these historical connections between the welfare state and the police state, we might revise our understanding beyond the twentieth century definition, broadening the concept to include not only the most extreme and draconian 20th-century tyrannies, but most, if not all, contemporary “administrative” states.

Once we begin to understand these connections and the growth and development of the total state during the 19th and 20th centuries, phenomena such as the murder of Michael Brown become easier to understand. Whether we call it the welfare state or the police state, the reality is that we live in an environment completely dominated by regimentation — coercive control over and regulation of almost every aspect of our lives.

Historically and theoretically, it is impossible to disentangle the welfare aspects of the modern total state from its police functions. Just as the progressive, administrative state gave rise to a growing class of professional bureaucrats, so, too, did it increasingly professionalize — and correspondingly militarize — police forces.

The language of expertise, efficiency and specialization provided the rationale for the modern state’s systematic establishment of professional

police.

Such professional police forces, unlike earlier forms of community protection, were intentionally quasimilitary in character, instructed to occupy, study and control the policed communities, to make policing a fully developed science with its own methodologies and techniques.

Market anarchism is an argument for a more free society, one in which power is divided to the greatest possible extent and provision of important services such as defense is not monopolized, but left to the peaceful push and pull of voluntary trade and cooperation.

Monopolies, insofar as they are exempt from competitive pressures, lend themselves to abuses of power such as the contemptible crime that took Michael Brown’s young life.

Brown’s murder is not an aberration susceptible to remedy through better police training. It is rather a predictable symptom of the underlying disease that is the United States’ authoritarian police state, the treatment of which is to eliminate professional policing as a coercive monopoly and thus to end the impunity officers currently enjoy.

Barring a few exceptions, each IU freshman is required to live on-campus for at least one year.

Freshmen hear all sorts of horror stories, from friends and graduates, before arriving on campus.

The rooms are tiny.

They’re too hot, too cold. There’s a family of small meerkats living in a dresser.

Many stress about their living conditions, but I find that, while dorm rooms are not the equivalent of living in a sky-rise overlooking the beach, they’re not half bad either.

There’s a lot IU can do to improve student housing, but until such time, to all my freshmen coming into town, here are some tips and tricks.

After all, while there are protests and marches to change things around here, it’s important to remember that we all live or have lived on campus, and there are some things you can do to make your stay better.

Remember that we’ve all been there. Stressing or complaining about the residence halls won’t make your living experience any better.

The food court is your friend. The food the dinning court has to offer is not a five-star meal. It can be quite appealing though, and complaining about it will just annoy upperclassmen.

And after roughly a month of eating at the various dining locations, you begin to take for granted the convenience of being able to walk across the street and get a hot meal in no time at all.

After living off campus, I can assure you that it beats having to buy groceries and cook your own meals any day of the week.

And the c-stores. How could I forget the c-stores?

Snacks, sandwiches and drinks just a swipe of your card away.

Become friends with the people on your floor.

You don’t have to be friendship-bracelet-wearing-BFF’s, but knowing their names and a little about them will make life easier.

Going up and introducing yourself to them will save you a lot of awkward hallway encounters.

Generally, they end with somebody mumbling “hey” and trying to avoid making eye contact.

Also, everyone is a student. If you’re struggling with a course or need someone to study with, you have an entire network at your fingertips.

This is something you will lose after you leave the residence halls, so take advantage of it while you can.

I promise the resident assistants and IU Police Department are not out to get you. Contrary to popular belief, RA’s do not want to write you up.

It’s a ton of paperwork and conversations for them.

As long as students aren’t being overly rambunctious or spray painting Miley Cyrus lyrics on the wall, the RA’s will go on their way.

Same can be said for IUPD. They understand students are going to drink and, well, be students. As long as the students aren’t making a scene, the cops won’t say a word.

It’s easy to point out all the negatives of living in a residence hall. There’s a lot of negatives, and a lot to fix.

But people tend to forget all the benefits that residence halls provide as well.

Worrying about living in a dorm won’t make your situation any better, but it can make it worse.

As someone who lived on campus for two years, I can assure you, it is better than you initially believe. luburch@indiana.edu

Camilla Taylor, the attorney for Lambda Legal, was also interrupted within her opening sentence, comparing the desires of her homosexual clients to those of polygamists laws in Indiana.

Taylor argued that marriage was based on the “autonomy to make these decisions for ourselves.”

Arguments for Wolf v.

Walker, a similar case from Wisconsin, were also heard Tuesday. A rally for both cases took place Monday night.

The couples in the suit claim Indiana Code Section 31-11-1-1, which defines marriage as between one man and one woman, violates their right of due process and equal protection under the law in the 14th Amendment.

The case was filed in the U.S. District Court of Southern Indiana. Three lesbian couples filed a complaint in March against their counties’ clerks and Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller.

Their case was joined with two similar cases, Fujii v. Pence and Lee v. Pence, in the District Court.

U.S. District Court Judge Richard Young ruled June 25 in favor of same-sex marriage and issued the ruling without stay, allowing gay couples in Indiana to get married.

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller issued an emergency stay two days later through the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on the case, halting the marriages.

The same-sex marriages that took place June 25 through 27 are federally legal, but not recognized by the state.

The marriage of Amy Sandler and Niki Quansey, two women legally married in Massachusetts but residing in Munster, Ind., was granted recognition by the Seventh Circuit Court.

Quansey has stage-four ovarian cancer, and with

“I think Tanner’s going to have a big year for us,” senior Patrick Doody said. “He’s worked his butt off all summer. He’s been working his butt off since last year.”

In 19 games played, Tanner found the back of the net once while notching four assists.

Those relatively tame numbers were not because of a lack of talent, but because it wasn’t his time yet.

“Tanner was ready to step up last year,” Yeagley said. “It was just really more a question of all the upperclassman talent in his position. We’re putting a lot on his shoulders this year.”

Tanner said he believes what his summer in Bloomington did most was put him in a position to be on the field for all 90 minutes of a match.

That level of fitness is something he believes he did not have during the spring.

“Staying here all summer, Tom Morris was making me run a lot,” Tanner said. “It wasn’t fun, but he got me fit,

recognition of the marriage, Sandler has full spousal benefits to assist Quansey during her illness.

IU Maurer School of Law professor Daniel Conkle said these rulings on the stay should not be an indication of which way the court will rule.

“I think for the court to issue the stay was consistent with what every other appellate court in the country has done, and likewise what the U.S. Supreme Court has done,” Conkle said, adding that Judge Young’s ruling without stay was in error and created a highly ambiguous status of the marriages.

He predicts the

Seventh Circuit will be consistent with the rulings made nation-wide following the Supreme Court’s ruling in Windsor v. United States, striking down sections of the Defense of Marriage Act. A ruling on the case can come out at any time, but Conkle said the court’s expedited scheduling of the arguments is an indicator of how important they believe this case is and how quickly a ruling could come out.

“It would not be in session otherwise,” he said.

The plaintiffs are receiving legal support from Lambda Legal, a free legal organization that seeks civic representation of

homosexual, bisexual and transgender people, according to the organization’s website, as well as attorney Barbara Baird and the American Civil Liberties Union.

An appeal on this ruling will take this case to the Supreme Court of the United States.

IU Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services has been sponsoring events from Indiana Equality Action office, supervisor Jamie Bartzel said.

and he got me where I needed to be for the season.”

The decision to stay was spurred by a conversation Tanner had with Yeagley.

His coach told him he wants and needs Tanner on the field for 90 minutes and not be forced to come off for something as controllable as fitness.

Tanner has not just improved on a physical level, either. The mental aspect of his game has also jumped, and for a player in his position, the mental aspect is key.

Tanner plays attacking mid and occupies what most people call the No. 10 role on the field.

A player who plays this position and has this role normally has a great mental understanding of the game and does not lack creativity.

Tanner has not only played that position in the first two preseason games, but also switched his jersey number to No. 10 at the start of the year.

“I want to create my own goals for myself if the time is on to do that,” Thompson said.

“If the time is on to slip someone in, I slip them in. I’m not really worried about the stat sheet. I’m more focused on the wins.”

He said Carmichael’s performance was booked in the last week of August specifically for that reason.

“He’s gonna appeal to college students,” Thompson said.

He said Carmichael might be one of the best comedians in the country right now and has the makings of a mega star.

“It’s just a matter of time until he’s a household name,” Thompson said.

KICKOFF

AUG 25 – 30 All CircuitStrength, CycleFit, Yoga, and Pilates sessions PLUS Intramural Sports and Aquatics offerings will be FREE all week long!

IU football’s Memorial Stadium attracted an average of 44,353 fans per game last season. That’s the secondhighest average since 1991, a result of the emphasis IU Athletic Director Fred Glass has put on improving the gameday experience.

When the gates of Memorial Stadium open Saturday, fans will see a transformation.

IU Athletics has made several changes during the offseason both on the field and around Bloomington.

“We really want to give the ultimate fan experience to our visitors,” said Jeremy Gray, associate athletic director for strategic communications and fan experience in a release.

Ribbon Board On the exterior of the North End Zone will be a 200-foot long ribbon board to flash statistics and other numbers throughout the game. This will provide more in-game information and entertainment for the fans.

“It’s like the digital screens that flash news at Times Square,” Gray said.

Improved Wi-Fi Updated Digital Antenna Systems will be installed to enhance the Wi-Fi connection inside the stadium. This is a change that won’t be in place until the second home game against Maryland on Sep. 27.

“Countdown” Clocks Not only are modifications being made within Memorial Stadium but around Bloomington as well. Local businesses, like Kilroy’s

and TIS Bookstore, among others, will install “countdown” clocks. These will display the hours, minutes and seconds to kickoff for the first game.

Additionally, a digital billboard on Interstate 465 in Indianapolis will show the countdown and updates of the score during IU’s game against Indiana State.

Anthony Thompson Day Aug. 30 will be known as Anthony Thompson Day. IU will honor Thompson during the game as this year marks the 25th anniversary of Thompson’s senior year at IU. Food Roy Lubovsky, director of athletics dining, announced some new additions to the Memorial Stadium concession stands. These include a Hot Dog Paradise stand that serves five different types of hot dogs and sausages.

There will also be a Turkey Leg stand, popcorn buckets shaped like the Old Oaken Bucket, new Dippin’ Dot bowls shaped like Memorial Stadium and Johnsonville BratBurgers.

Victory Flags “Victory Flag” is now the official designation of the traditional IU flag. IU Athletics is distributing 100 of these Victory Flags to Bloomington businesses and encouraging them to hang the flags in the front of their stores during game weeks.

The Purple Lot Renovations that began in April to turn the previously gravel lot into a parking complex are now complete. There are 1,855 parking spaces, ample green space, and updated pedestrian and traffic groundwork.

Talia Halliday’s son Griffen enjoys spending time at Gather, an indie craft shop opening Aug. 30.

The art gathering Indie craft shop Gather opens Saturday in Fountain Square Mall as a way to support local artists

By Alexis Daily aledaily@indiana.edu

Gather showcases emerging and independent handmade goods from more than 70 artists. The shop is located in the Fountain Square Mall.

Gather provides artists the opportunity to display and sell their work, while also encouraging shoppers to buy handmade and local art.

Talia Halliday said she was sitting at dinner one night with a bunch of her crafty friends as they talked about their unusual artwork.

“We’re a rather large group of artists, and we all have an individual style, and yet, none of us were selling our work on a consistent basis in Bloomington,” she said. “In fact, there was just no shop here in Bloomington that we felt would fit our work anyway.”

Without the proper shop to sell their art, Halliday was convinced by her friends to open her own indie craft shop, Gathering.

She has since renamed her shop, Gather: Handmade Shoppe & Co. The permanent indie craft and fine art edition of Gathering, will open its doors to the public for its grand opening from 10 a.m to 5 p.m. Aug. 30.

Halliday, the shop’s owner, graduated from IU with a B.A. in English in 2002 and recently finished her masters in secondary education.

She said that last year Gathering was host to events that featured both local and regional artists in a shop atmosphere with music, food and a do-it-yourself craft project, as well as a monthlong holiday pop-up.

“I remember being very impressed with the pop up market, and I loved the idea of a shop where local artists could showcase their work,” said Jenna Allen, a customer who also manages a grant

for the Indiana Arts Commission. “I knew Talia was planning to introduce a new shop that would be open year round sometime this year, and I couldn’t be more excited.”

“With the permanent shop, I wanted to showcase that indie craft can be side by side with fine art, that we can blend the two worlds and not be so separate all the time,” Halliday said.

Gather is also a gallery, providing artists the opportunity to display and sell their work, while also encouraging shoppers to buy handmade and local art.

“I wanted to be able to showcase specific artists in the space with new lines of work in a gallery setting,” Halliday said. “I’m very excited about the addition of our gallery wall. It livens the space up a bit and offers some ‘grown up’ experience to an otherwise hip and young atmosphere.”

Chelsea Jones, a metalsmith, jewelry artist and owner of Tactile Melodies, said she met Halliday during the Gathering holiday popup shop, and her products will be featured in the new store.

Jones said that as a working artist, she really appreciates all of the support of handmade, local goods in Bloomington.

“Talia is supporting us artists by providing an outlet to sell our work and also by building a supportive comSEE GATHER, PAGE 8

munity,” she said. “I feel very connected to the shop this time around.”

Additionally, Halliday said Gather has a space to hold workshops and classes, which will create a community around creating.

“The workshops and classes will largely be up to what the public wants to see and what the artists and teachers want to offer,” Halliday said. “This year I hope to have some business workshops for artists in the space about marketing, taxes, insurance, product photography, etc. I hope to be able to help teach makers how to make it.”

In addition, Halliday said she will offer craftier classes, such as soap making, jewelry design and kids’ pottery.

Halliday said this winter, she hopes to be able to offer an alternative for kids’ birthday parties where kids could come to the shop and take an art class.

“Gather will fit perfectly into the ever-evolving population of a college town, destined to be the premier eclectic place to find the perfect representation of the Bloomington experience,” Allen said.

The Bear’s Place presents IU jazz alum Rahsaan Barber 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday as part of the Jazz Fables concert series.

Tickets are $7 for general admission and $5 for students.

Attendees must be 21.

Barber graduated from the Jacobs School of Music in the 2000s with a bachelor’s degree in jazz studies.

After graduation, both Barber and his twin brother went on to receive their master’s degrees at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, according to a press release from Bear’s Place.

Barber is originally from Nashville, Tenn. and currently

lives there and works as an active musician and recording artist.

He is the co-leader of a Latin jazz group called El Movimiento and a leader of hip-hop soul band the Megaphones.

Barber also launched his own record label, Jazz Music City, in 2011.

While a student at IU in the early 2000s, Barber and his brother Roland performed at the same Bear’s Place concert series as students.

Rahsaan and Roland are named after famous jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk.

Kirk performed his last concert ever at the Indiana Memorial Union on Dec. 4, 1977, before dying the next

Barber is now returning to Bloomington with his jazz quintet, Everyday Magic, from Nashville, Tenn.

The quintet also features guitarist Adam Agati, pianist Jody Nardone, bassist Jerry Navarro and drummer Nioshi Jackson.

The same day, Barber will give a music clinic for music students. It will be at the Jacobs School of Music 12:15 p.m. Thursday.

to open her indie craft shop.

“Bloomington is an amazing town, from the variety of cultures represented to the vast events that are hosted here,” Halliday said.

“There’s not a day that goes by that something new isn’t happening.”

Miah Michaelsen, the assistant economic development director for the arts in Bloomington’s Department of Economic and Sustainable Development, said Bloomington is home to many artists who have made their careers here.

She is excited to see what the next generation of artists will bring.

“I knew Talia when she was working as an individual artist in her studio, Conduit Press, and I’m delighted to see that she is opening her own store and gallery,”

Michaelsen said. “She has a great perspective, and Gather will compliment what is already here.”

Michaelsen said she is attracted to work that is unpredictable, whimsical and has a sense of humor, but also a real point of view.

She said these qualities, as well as Halliday’s strong attention to detail, are what initially drew her to the artist.

“All of the art is beautiful and functional, and with an affordable price point, you can be a collector without feeling like you’re losing out on daily necessities,” she said.

Gather will be open from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday at Fountain Square Mall.

While you’re browsing around the tents at the Fourth Street Festival this weekend, make sure to stop

by Anatolia for a wonderful Turkish meal with some Mediterranean flare.

An Anatolia meal will be the perfect delicious break from the heat.

Not only is the restaurant a breath of fresh air culturally, but the food is delicious, and you definitely get what you pay for.

Get in touch with the Turkish culture.

Try one of their delicious dishes. The appetizers are unreal, and the prices are very reasonable for students on a budget.

The wide variety has something for everyone — including vegetarians.

Vegetarian dishes range from about $8 to $10, and meat dishes usually range from $10 to $15.

Also, the complimentary bread is always a big hit

while you’re waiting for your meal to arrive.

If you opt for one of their signature pides — flatbread that often consists of cheese, meat and sauce, you also get a sides of rice, salad and your choice of one of two incredible soups.

Pides can be customized, so you can ultimately pick your filling to accompany the decadent bread boat.

Anatolia’s sauces are full of flavor, adding a little spice to each dish no matter what you choose to order.

And nothing compares to the combination of the fresh salad and warm, fluffy rice that accompanies each entrée.

Not only is the Turkish tea deliciously smooth and highly caffeinated — it’s complimentary, too.

This free treat is perfect for an evening pick-me-up.

The ambiance of the restaurant sucks you in and immediately makes you feel

The 6-foot-7-inch Holt will be available for the Hoosiers this season and is listed as a

Q&A with IU senior cornerback Tim Bennett

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

IU football is set to open its 2014 campaign noon Saturday at Memorial Stadium against Indiana State.

In advance of the week’s game, IDS football reporter Sam Beishuizen caught up with senior cornerback Tim Bennett to talk about opening a new season.

Bennett, a Columbus, Ga. native, moved from safety to become IU’s starting cornerback last season.

He led the nation with 20 pass breakups and 21 passes defended.

Q It’s game week for you guys with kickoff coming Saturday. What’s the excitement level going into the weekend?

A I’m really excited for this week.

For months and months starting in January, the new coaches came in. We got the system. We lift. We do all this stuff.

But this moment right here? We’ve been waiting for this moment. We’ve been waiting for this Saturday so we can get it started.

IDS FILE PHOTO

Q You’re a senior now, do you still feel the excitement of opening weekend? Do you get any nerves or jitters?

A Oh definitely. I feel like if you don’t get butterflies, you really don’t love the game. I love this game.

I was thinking about it last night that this is my last first game here. I get butterflies every time I step

on the practice field.

Q You led the nation with 20 pass break-ups last season. What do you have for an encore? How do you build on that?

A Turn some of those into picks, pretty much. That’s how you build on that.

You know, last year was

my first year at corner so I just have to continue to improve on getting better at my corner position.

Q I saw last Wednesday that IU Coach Kevin Wilson went on a slip-n-slide. It looked like he started with a pretty big thud. How would you rate his performance?

HEAR ME OUT

We must know that we know nothing until Saturday

A It started off rocky, but by the end of it he kind of got it. The second one was better.

He did it twice, but everybody was kind of thudding on there. But that was my first time going on a slip-n-slide myself.

Q Wait, you’d never gone

People looking from the outside, myself included, cannot see what bench player had the chip on his shoulder.

For example, who went into “Rocky” training mode with every second of spare time to become a freak of nature?

We in the media cannot see the player who had a very productive year and now has a solidified spot only to become complacent and lose that everyday hunger.

The value of experience cannot be quantified.

It does not just help in terms of knowing how to respond to certain coverage packages now that the player has seen it before.

It is crucial in the player’s head in terms of knowing what they have done before and knowing exactly what to address to improve.

It is crucial because now that player knows how to play college football far

more than he had and can prepare accordingly.

It is crucial for that player to establish himself as a respectable peer and leader among teammates.

Therefore, a player who played last season but played poorly has an advantage and provides some unknown variables.

Past IU teams have relied on young players with as many as 16 freshmen getting playing time in Kevin Wilson’s first season to as few as 12 in 2013.

The Hoosiers are only losing four full-time starting seniors and one major contributing junior.

That tells you that the SEE HEAR ME OUT, PAGE 12

Q Last one I have for you, but why should people be excited about this IU defense and this team this year?

A We’ve just got a new attitude. We have a renewed

confidence in this defense.

With confidence, you could have a pretty good defense and we just need to build on that each week.

That’s why you should be excited for this.

Attitude over on the defensive side is a lot better than it was in years past.

We’re ready to go.

Snodgrass finds success during summer overseas

By Grace Palmieri

Columnists love writing predictions.

I love it myself. I wrote a prediction column last week.

During the season, most of these predictions are actually valid, and the writers’ stances have evidence to support them.

The truth, though, is that preseason predictions are absurd.

Sure, everyone knows that Ameer Abdullah from Nebraska is going to have a great year and that Ohio State has a defensive line that will cause havoc in the Big Ten. The issue is that making predictions before a game has even been played is based on, for the most part, looking at sheets of paper and examining results from the prior season.

In college football, and most sports, that year of time in between is more drastic than I think the casual bystander realizes.

As just a sophomore, Brooklynn Snodgrass became only the second NCAA Champion in IU women’s swimming history, winning the 200-yard backstroke in 1:50.52, which was the second-fastest time in school history.

The Calgary, Alberta native is the reigning 100and 200-yard backstroke Big Ten Champion for two years running and went on to be named Big Ten Swimmer of the Year.

Despite all the accolades, there was one thing she still wanted — to swim for her country.

This summer, she got that chance.

Snodgrass traveled across the globe to compete for the Canadian National team.

Simply being part of the team was a dream come true, she said.

“I have wanted to compete for my country on the senior level since I can remember,” Snodgrass said.

“It was nice to see the hard work pay of this season.”

To make the team, she had to clock in under the top 16th time in the world and place in the top two in Canada in her event.

At the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, Snodgrass won bronze in the 50-meter backstroke, setting a new Canadian record in 27.97 seconds.

Last week at the Pan Pacific Games in Australia, she earned a second bronze medal as part of the 400-medley relay team.

“I gained a lot of confidence this summer,” she said. “It was my first senior team ever, so I was just soaking it all in. I learned a lot.”

Snodgrass said the only big difference between collegiate and international competition is the pool size.

While she competes in a

25-yard pool during the season, Snodgrass makes the switch to a 50-meter pool in the offseason.

But most importantly, she tries to stay consistent in her approach.

“To me, a race is a race no matter who it’s against or where it is,” Snodgrass said.

“You kind of try to keep your races similar and perfect them over the years.”

Snodgrass returns as a junior this season for her Hoosier team.

“This summer, I just wanted to gain as much experience as possible,” she said. “I’m ready to get back to IU and start the season with my Hoosiers.”

Local artist explains the magic in pottery watered surface of the earth.

The bumping ceased seconds later, and her hands smoothed the surface into a disk.

Due to the temporary nature of the demonstration, none of her works would be kept at the end of the night.

She also explained what she would have done if she were in her home studio working to create a permanent sculpture.

“Clay starts out as a natural form,” Lowery said.

Though her clay was manufactured, she said the “manufactured” aspect involved mixing varieties of naturally existing clay to control the consistency of the product.

Then it is thrown onto a wheel and manipulated by hand and the spin of her potter’s wheel until she achieves a shape she likes, she said.

“It takes many years to do this properly,” Lowery said.

Frequently, she grimaced and gestured to the structure’s “wobble.”

If she is not careful, she said the uneven surface leads to a less structurallysound bowl or cup.

When the clay is almost finished being formed, it almost feels like leather, she said. From there she will alter it, adding any decorations she likes.

Then everything is air dried before being fired once in a kiln. This initial baking makes the object sturdy and safe to handle.

After that, she said she finishes the product with a glaze to make everything

By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP

For Rebecca Lowery, a local artist, pottery is not only an art form. It is the marriage between beauty and utility.

Nestled into a towelcovered corner at the Venue yesterday, Lowery demonstrated how she transitions balls of clay thrown onto a potter’s wheel into spinning earthen vessels.

During the hour of pot throwing, she created a variety of bowls and vases. She also molded the body of a teapot, her current favorite product.

“I like the idea of functional sculpture,” she said.

Tea pots lend themselves to more complicated shapes, she said. It also helps that a teapot is something people can use frequently.

“I want people to have, you know, this intimate object that people use every day,” she said. “It’s a part of your daily life.”

Gabriel Colman, owner and curator of the Venue, Fine Arts and Gifts, said he included Lowery into the Venue’s Tuesday art education night because people almost fall into her artwork.

They get absorbed in it, he said.

“It’s almost hypnotic,” he said.

Sitting in front of her wheel, before even starting, Lowery explained the process of what she would do.

Throwing down a large handful of clay, about a pound’s worth, her hands initially bounced over the

food-safe.

Everything is put back into the kiln, heated to just under 2,300 degrees. What results is a satin-textured, microwave- and dishwasher-safe product, Lowery said.

“After they fire in the kiln, then they are all finished and ready for use,” she said.

Yesterday was not the first time she did a potthrowing demonstration.

Whether it was a busload of viewers watching her create pots back in her university days or the occasional time she did street performances, the reaction of the people watching is the same.

She said her favorite moment is when she pushes her hands into the revolving clay and the lump instantly climbs out of her hands.

“Oh, it’s like magic,” she said.

This is the case because, in her opinion, pottery is a universal art for people.

It is a human experience to get your hands dirty, she said.

“Everyone has touched clay in some way,” she said.

“Today it’s play dough, but it used to be that kids played in mud.”

It gets better when it clicks in people that the thing they are watching her make is something they use on a daily basis.

Especially in today’s world where everything is manufactured and they have no interaction with the maker, she said.

“Like I said earlier,” LowANNA TEETER | IDS ery said. “It is the magic of Rebecca Lowery is a Bloomington potter who works in a studio in her garage. She threw clay on a wheel it.” during a live demonstration at The Venue on Tuesday.

Former Hoosiers take Fantasy Football ďŹ eld

battle with back-up Andre Caldwell.

It’s a long shot, I’ll be the first to admit, and I’m certainly not advocating you pick Latimer over Megatron.

But for those who play in dynasty leagues, Latimer is a gold mine.

As for the rest you, remember that a late-season pick-up could go a long way.

Especially for the savvy fantasy football managers who remain loyal to their IU football roots.

2013 squad only had four guys with much that experience and that many springs and summers of hard work and growth.

Those springs and summers are essential and certainly accumulate.

This year, there are 18 returning starters, so that is nice.

Back in my high school football career, I came across a few teammates that were not expected to start or were looked at as the weak point of the team.

But then they put forth sociopathic levels of commitment in the offseason.

Those were the guys who stood out Friday nights and actually made a difference.

The stars people all know about are great and are essential.

It is the hidden warriors, though, that win games and championships.

I am not saying the tangible things we know are irrelevant.

I am saying there are too many factors we know nothing about until we see the Hoosiers play Saturday.

People can look at training camp feedback, but those of us watching from a distance don’t know which guys are the practice studs who become tentative in a real game.

They don’t know which players’ skill sets are clouded over in practice but essential when a real college football game is being played.

Nor do they know who will grow into a completely different animal on game day.

Trust me, those types of players exist, and there are many of them.

The point is, I do not know who will be the surprise standouts or the frustrating disappointments, but there will be some.

The point is, I am going to try to quit analyzing what will happen until I see IU play Indiana State on Saturday, and then we can see who is doing what.

TORI ZIEGE is a sophomore in journalism.

It’s the end of August, and for those of us entrenched in the sporting world, our attention is focused on two things: fantasy drafts and IU football.

Both hold the promise of something new, the chance to forget last season’s blunders and the opportunity for a fresh start.

We’ve ranked top-five position players, scoured the IU roster, made bold end-of-year predictions — and no, I can’t help you find a team name.

But what else do these two welcomed, get-me-outof-class-already distractions have in common?

Seventy-two receptions, 1,096 yards and nine touchdowns.

Cody Latimer’s 2013 stats.

The would-be IU senior paced the Hoosier offense last season, leading the team in nearly every offensive receiving category.

His contributions ranked top-10 in IU history in numerous categories, including 100-yard games, yardage and receptions.

But what fans failed to realize when Latimer was drafted by the Denver Broncos is that this impact player was not done affecting the people of Memorial Stadium.

Latimer is back for the 2014 season. Only this time, it’s on the fantasy football field.

Denver Broncos wideout Eric Decker’s 2013 stats were nearly identical to Latimer’s IU stats.

Eighty-seven receptions, 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The 6-foot-3-inch, 218-pound receiver signed with the New York Jets this offseason, creating the need

for a big man with speed, strength and explosive potential.

Enter Cody Latimer.

The 6-foot-2-inch, 215-pound wide receiver ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash at IU’s pro day — on a broken foot.

His size and speed compare favorably with Decker’s, and while the 2013 stat similarities are no more than coincidence, the potential is not.

The next factor is the man quarter-backing for Latimer and — let’s face it — he’s a game-changer.

Coming off the best season any quarterback has ever had, Peyton Manning makes any Denver wideout an appealing fantasy draftee, whether it be as a starter or a late-round steal.

Latimer has reportedly spent many hours after practice digesting the playbook and any morsel he could from the five-time MVP quarterback.

And all the while, he’s gaining trust in a system that demands it.

But the real pièce de rÊsistance for Latimer comes as it often does in the NFL:

with injury.

In last Saturday’s preseason game versus the Houston Texans, Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker suffered his third concussion in the span of 10 months.

Welker has already expressed a willingness to cut his career short if his health is threatened, bringing to question the wide receiving circumstances in Denver should he not return.

Suddenly, all that stands between Latimer and a chance to catch passes from a living legend is a two-man
