Shannon Love, left, and Rachel Mikol perfom a duet during the “Cosi fan Tutte” rehearsal Monday at the Musical Arts Center. Written by Mozart, the Italian opera tells a story of fidelity between two couples.

Timeless adventure By Maia Rabenold mrabenol@indiana.edu | @maialyra

he title of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s 18th century opera, one of the last he ever wrote, loosely translates to “women are fickle.” For this reason, “Cosi fan tutte” can be seen as misogynistic, stage director Michael Shell said. Second year doctoral student Mathilda Edge, who plays Fiordiligi in IU Opera’s production of “Cosi fan tutte,” which opens Friday, said she prefers the alternate title “La scuola degli amanti,” or “The School for Lovers.” “The men are fickle, too, and they’re learning what love is, too,”

Edge said. “It’s interesting that in the title it’s the women that are fickle because the women are the ones that fall, but if you think about it, the men probably fell too.” In the opera, the men are convinced by their older friend to trick their fiancees, sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella, into being unfaithful. They tell the sisters they are going to war, but they come back disguised as foreign men and try to seduce the girls. What neither of the men nor their friend expect is for each girl to fall for the man to whom she’s not engaged. “Through disguising themselves, the men find out that they are different people than they

The School of Public and Environmental Affairs’ reputation is in danger, said graduate student Ben Weise. The Charles Koch Foundation has supplied a $210,000 grant extension to Doug Noonan, a professor at the IU-Purdue University Indianapolis branch of SPEA. The grant was provided to further Noonan’s Political Economy and Environmental Research Initiative, which has been in progress since 2014. Koch Industries, Inc., a multibillion dollar corporation, is led by Charles and David Koch. Although their company has stakes in several industries, including oil, finance, farming and energy, the Koch brothers are known for contributing billions of dollars to support their conservative political interests. The family also funneled funding into groups and initiatives that find evidence to support climate change denial. Although Weise trusts the peer-review process and does not doubt Noonan’s abilities and integrity, he said he fears the money’s ties to the Koch brothers may tarnish and discredit Noonan’s research. “It’s the leadership’s job to step in and say this isn’t right,” Weise said. “We are fighting for the ethics of the situation — I have requested for our school to return the unspent money and make the gifts and grants process more transparent.” Weise, along with fellow graduate students Brett Wiley and Andy Braden, began an online petition for the administration to address these concerns. The document, which has currently garnered nearly 200 supporters from SPEA alumni, students and other concerned parties, aims to bring change and reform to the research funding process. “If SPEA needs more money, though, then we should be getting it from Gov.

FOOTBALL | RECRUITING

Kevin Wilson not concerned with rank of new recruits Somebody told IU Coach Kevin Wilson this was his worst class since 2012. But Wilson doesn’t see this as a problem. “Well, shoot, that was pretty good,” he said. “IU will take that a lot.” The 2012 class had three AllAmericans in Tevin Coleman, Jason Spriggs and Dan Feeney. It brought Nate Sudfeld, Nick Mangieri and many of the players who took IU to its first bowl game in eight years. That class may not have been rated highly, but it included many of the biggest names in recent IU history. “Look where ’12 started, look where they finished,” Wilson said. So it isn’t all about ratings in Wilson’s eyes. He often talks about how IU is working toward recruiting longer and more athletic bodies. He said the 2016 class is another good body class. The goal with this idea is not to recruit players whom scouting services deem the best, but to find people that have the frame to grow into better players. That 2012 class wasn’t so highly rated, but it produced. Wilson said it comes down to the weight room, nutrition, academic support,

coaching and the student doing the job. “Recruiting is one phase of the deal,” he said. “The next deal is development.” 247sports ranked this class 11th in the Big Ten and 55th nationally. The 2016 class was the result of a year in which Wilson didn’t have his contract extended until January. He said players sometimes wondered who would be their coaches if they committed to IU. IU Director of Athletics Fred Glass called some recruits to ensure commitment to Wilson while the contract was still unfinished. This class was more offense oriented with 14-of-21 commits expected to play on offense. Wilson said it is a result of focusing on defense the past few years and needing to regain numbers on offense for the future. Wilson is now entering his sixth season as IU’s head football coach. One result of his tenure is learning what he wants and needs. He said he noticed a few years ago IU was recruiting receivers who were too small. Now, he realizes he wants long, athletic bodies, like Ak-

ron, Ohio, athlete Jonah Morris. He said the team used to trot out defensive backs standing as short as 5-foot-8 or 5-foot-9. Now, each member of the 2016 defensive back class is listed at 6-foot or taller. Largo, Florida, defensive back Brandon Drayton is 6-foot-2. While it may be easy to say that

the class suffered from the delay in Wilson’s contract renewal, he said he signed athletes he felt could work here. He wasn’t trying to sign recruits to fill his last two scholarships. “These kids we added at the end were not stretches,” he said. “I’m telling you, I’m holding two right now and we walked away from

some.” As National Signing Day ends, Wilson’s upbeat and jovial demeanor for his class can only last so long. He said now it is time to worry about the 2017 class. “If we don’t get those juniors on campus by March, it’s like you’re out of the game,” Wilson said.

Board of Trustees to meet Thursday, Friday By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu @emanmozaffar

The first Board of Trustees meeting of 2016 will focus on the implications of the Bicentennial Strategic Plan, residence hall housing rates and reports on the media and academic initiatives each IU campus is taking. This Thursday and Friday, board chairs and officers will meet in the University Tower at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis to report on prominent issues extending across all eight campuses. Notably, the Trustees will discuss the findings of the first Bicentennial Strategic Plan Report. The plan, which was enacted December 2014, is a detailed draft of how IU can move forward in the areas of student excellence, scholarship and research. Board of Trustees member will discuss the many initiatives targeting these areas, all of which lead up to the celebration of IU’s 200th anniversary. “This report, the findings of which will be revealed at the meeting, is the focal point of the upcoming Trustees meeting,” said Debbie Lemon, Board of Trustees secretary. “These efforts fall under all of our campuses and you’ll be able to see the eight primary topics of the plan being discussed in great detail.” The Board of Trustees is

the governing authority of IU, and their meetings are open to the public. They approve all major projects, make final budgeting decisions and oversee the development and expansion of the many programs the university has to offer. MaryFrances McCourt, treasurer of the Trustees, is responsible for managing approximately $2 billion of annual operating funds. She will give a presentation at the Trustees meeting detailing the year’s budget assumptions, as well as advancements in residence hall housing rates. “We are going to discuss several models to analyze different potential scenarios,” McCourt said. “After we propose these, we get a better sense of what might happen in the course of the next few years, in terms of our budget.” McCourt said student affordability is one of the centerpieces of the conversation. The trustees are not permitted to increase yearly tuition by huge rates, but they must find ways to bring in funding to meet the rising costs of managing the University. “IU is going through facility renovations, new constructions, increased maintenance costs and more,” McCourt said. “Despite this, we can’t match these standard expenses by simply inflating the amount students pay — more planning has to

go into it.” Faculty members have also faced slow, incremental wage increases for years, McCourt said. The Board of Trustees will facilitate a presentation and conversation to combat these issues, and provide a

pool of solutions for each problem that balances the needs of every group on campus. Other items on the agenda include progress of the campus’s media and marketing initiatives, as well as updates from honors

colleges on each IU campus. “The Board of Trustees cover several topics of interest in a short period of time,” Lemon said. “They will, throughout the two days, address new degrees, a lengthy review of approved construction

projects and updates on higher education trends.” Although the meeting materials will not be released until after the event, a comprehensive Board of Trustees agenda is available to the public at trustees. iu.edu.

BGSA leads effort to buy water for children in Flint Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich

Members of the Black Graduate Student Association are in the midst of a weeklong “Fresh for Flint” campaign. The campaign, which began Monday, started as an “outpouring of concern and support” for the residents of Flint, Michigan, BGSA president Danita Dolly said in an email. BGSA, with the help of other local organizations including the Boys and Girls Club of Bloomington, IU National Panhellenic Council and La Casa Latino Cultural

Center has set a fundraising goal of $3,200. The money raised will be used to help purchase one truckload of water from the Flint Sam’s Club to be sent to the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Flint. “Hopefully through us giving this water to the kids, it will make things a little bit easier for those children and their families,” BGSA publicity chair Anthony Wright said. The campaign follows a months-long water crisis after Flint switched its main water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River, where water had not been properly

treated. This water was found to have increased levels of lead, which caused hundreds of people to have elevated levels of lead in their blood, according to an IU press release. BGSA is raising money through a CrowdRise donations page. Contributors donated 15 percent of BGSA’s goal within 24 hours before the start of the campaign. One truckload of water will provide 38,400 bottles of water for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Flint, which serves 130 to 140 children daily during the school year, according to the Fresh for Flint CrowdRise page.

“The issue that’s happening in Flint can honestly happen anywhere,” Wright said. “We just want to make sure those kids are especially getting taken care of as they are going through such a developmental part of their lives physically, and just make sure they have the proper tools, water being one of them, to survive.” Children of low-income families at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Flint will be allowed to take water home to their families, Wright said. “This isn’t going to be a long-term fix because the problem of the fresh water

Professor talks Middle Eastern tension Teddy Bailey eebailey@indiana.edu @TheTeddyBailey

IU professor and former ambassador to Iraq Feisal Istrabadi said the United States cannot effectively “kill the ideology” of radicalized Islamic beliefs. The topic was discussed by Istrabadi after a question surrounding the ISIL strategies of the U.S. Republican candidates was asked at a lecture Wednesday afternoon in the School of Global and International Studies. Bombing the area, Istrabadi said, is a fruitless endeavor to restore peace and unity to the region. His presentation was titled “State in Flux in the Middle East.” Istrabadi, the founding director of IU’s Center for the Study of the Middle East , portrayed the lack of stability in the region via borders and diplomatic power. He also mentioned the current state of ISIL. Istrabadi said that the violent terrorist organization is crossing the borders of countries such as Syria and Iraq, among others, causing them to be in flux. Throughout the presentation, Istrabadi said he believes there is sympathy for ISIL in Jordan. However, he would not comment on the percentage of ISIL supporters in the country, but explained that Jordan’s poverty conditions have contributed to it being “in play for ISIL,” as the country has very little resources in its geographic area.

is definitely something that can’t be fixed with just sending in water to Flint,” Wright said. “What we really hope to do is allow the kids to do the simple things, like bathe or just to be able to stay hydrated throughout the day.” Wednesday morning, BGSA raised about $1,700, more than half of the week’s goal. BGSA members created fliers, emailed networks of potential donors and tabled on campus in support of the campaign which will continue through Saturday. Some BGSA members from Michigan felt

personally drawn to the cause, Wright said. Alex Foster, BGSA’s elections and nominations chair, is from a town near Flint and said in the release she feels responsible for raising awareness and providing help for those who cannot access clean water. “I hope this is just the beginning of our efforts to help in any way we can,” Foster said in the release. “We know that purchasing water bottles will not resolve the crisis completely, but BGSA has a responsibility to help fight the injustice Flint residents are facing.”

Victim’s mother reports forcible fondling to IUPD From IDS Reports

A case of forcible fondling involving two minors was reported Saturday to the IU Police Department. The mother of a male Bloomington resident reported the incident to IUPD, said IUPD Capt. Andy Stephenson. Her son claimed on Halloween he received unwanted advances and oral sex from another male Bloomington resident.

Both males are minors and are not IU students. The incident was reported as occurring in the Carmichael Building on the corner of Kirkwood and Indiana avenues, Stephenson said. IUPD is actively investigating the case. Stephenson said IUPD will make an arrest and the suspect will be charged as a minor. Sarah Gardner

“We must create the circumstances where the thought (of joining ISIL) is not necessary,” Istrabadi said. Istrabadi spent a significant portion of his time on the Kurdish groups that inhabit the Middle East . He anticipates that there will be multiple Kurdish independence groups if they successfully break away from their respective countries . He illustrated the relationship between the Kurdish Democratic Party and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan in Iraq, saying that, in order to

travel within the two Kurdish borders in the country, citizens will be subject to vehicle searches and identification checks . Despite constant tension in the area, Istrabadi said the majority of Middle Eastern citizens have a sense of state nationalism and resiliency of post-World War I disposition. The longtime Bloomington native said unity is a challenge for Shia groups in Iraq because each group wants to govern themselves. One of the principal legal drafters of the Iraqi interim

constitution in 2003, Istrabadi earned his doctorate from IU in 1988. After completing his education, he served as a legal adviser to Iraq’s Minister for Foreign Affairs while the country reasserted itself through its sovereignty. Istrabadi’s lecture was the second presentation in the Global Center’s Global Studies Positioning Series for this semester. The first lecture of 2016 was given by Dr. Fred Cate, IU law professor and the University’s Vice President of research.

Zoeller sues over fraud Annie Garau agarau@umail.iu.edu | @agarau6

Three out-of-state companies face a hefty lawsuit after attempting to swindle at least 48 struggling homeowners out of more than $3 million. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller filed the lawsuit Tuesday seeking more than $9 million in compensation and civil penalties. “My office will use every legal tool available to halt this fraud, hold the defendants accountable and assist the victims,” Zoeller said in a press release. The complaint, filed in Marion County, states that Florida, Oklahoma and Nevada based businesses and their owners took advantage of homeowners who were late on payments and who didn’t understand the Indiana tax sale process. When a homeowner falls behind on their property taxes, the county sells the property to recover the delinquent funds — a tax sale. The bidding starts out at how much the owner owes in taxes for that property. If the winning bid exceeds what was owed on the property, the tax money goes to the county. After interest and other fees are taken care of, the remaining money goes to the original owner. That homeowner has one year to pay back the taxes on the property. If they can’t, the property goes to the winning bidder. It was during that yearlong redemption period the three businesses employed their complicated scheme. The companies misrepresented the homeowner’s legal rights and persuaded them to sign quitclaim deeds. Quitclaim deeds transfer interest into real property. The homeowners were giving the rest of their legal interest to the companies in exchange for a payout of $450 or less. The companies would then claim the tax surplus in amounts from $2,000 to $900,000, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit estimates that the companies paid the 48 owners a total of $13,640 to sign the quitclaim deeds. After that, the companies were then eligible to claim $3,265,204 in surplus from the tax sales. If the taxes on a property are $100 and the bid was $500, then the resulting surplus is $400, said Nicholas Jordan, certified public accountant and the chief deputy auditor for Allen County. “What would happen is at some point in time, the owner would sell their property to that company for minimal dollar and that allowed the company to claim the surplus,” Jordan said. Jordan said it’s something that has probably been going on for many years. “It’s very unfortunate the way the companies prey on property owners,” he said. “Hopefully it will be litigated and settled.” The lawsuit names Diana Castro, David Fuqua and Craig Talkington owners of FLRC, LLC and Coastal Title, Inc. and Oak Tree Title Inc. the defendants. “Rarely have we seen a scam that so brazenly exploited desperate property owners and took advantage of their lack of understanding of a complicated legal process,” Zoeller said in a press release. ”Victims not only lost their property but money that was rightfully owed to them.”

Mike Pence officially ﬁles for re-election Gov. Mike Pence officially filed for re-election Wednesday afternoon, according to a press release. Pence’s Jan. 15 finance report showed more than $3.5 million in contributions to his re-election campaign in the last six months,

and more than $5.1 million donated in 2015, according to Pence’s website. Hoosiers accounted for 91.9 percent of contributors for the second half of 2015, according to an Indiana.GOP press release. The primary will take place Tuesday, May 3.

Instructor begins series on human reality By Cody Thompson compthomp@indiana.iu.edu @CodyMichael3

Bloomington native Michael May stood at the front of a lecture hall at the Monroe County Public Library — not on the stage, but on the floor close to the audience members. May is an instructor for the ULTIMATE Reality series. His charismatic speaking style and deep understanding of human reality allowed him to fluently explain contemporary mythology, cosmic significance and the importance of reality. The ULTIMATE Reality was presented by Interior Mythos Journeys and Transparent Works, a curriculum whose purpose “is a quest to articulate and explore contemporary mythic language,” according to their website. The first session of the series, entitled Free Fall, gave context and background for the upcoming gatherings. The audience — many with notebooks, pens and curious looks — spilled through the doors Wednesday afternoon. They took their seats and it was not long before their conversation filled the room. May spoke often about the importance and grandeur of the human reality. “There is nothing more mysterious than reality,” May said. After he finished, a video was played on a projector screen. The video focused on humans and their assumed importance in the universe. The video included the cosmic solitariness of Earth and contained many

quotes from American mythologist Joseph Campbell. With photos of ancient paintings, the video referenced the necessity of living in reality in favor of clinging to myth and traditions. “In all of those traditions, those words pointed to inclusiveness, they pointed to gathering together the human family,” May said. “What has happened, historically and for lots of reasons, is that all of those great traditions — now they’re about divisiveness. Not only are we

not replacing those traditions, we’re fulfilling those traditions.” Returning attendee Chuck Thompson said these events seem more real to him than the ideas he learned as a child. “It gives you the opportunity to revisit all the things you were indoctrinated with growing up and to revisit how much of it you can actually determine factually,” Thompson said. “It brings you to this other kind of reality that much of what we accept as real is, in fact, a myth.”

At one point during the presentation, May instructed the audience to answer several journal questions within the binder of papers given at the beginning of the presentation. He told the audience to form groups to discuss several questions within their binder. Discussions included topics that resonated strongly with individuals, questions they had about the material and doubts and issues individuals had with the presentation. May said the series is

about waking people up to their personal real lives, “because until they wake up to their own personal real lives, they can’t be of service to the village and the village has some problems these days.” The series spans the next nine weeks with eight presentations every Wednesday except Feb. 16. The seminars will be presented from noon to 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. “When you hit the door, the class is not ending. It’s just beginning,” May said. “The force is with you.”

Bloomington couple arrested Senate passes bill to try to curb for stabbing, strangulation meth problem From IDS reports

Megan Jula mjula@indiana.edu | @meganjula

The Indiana Senate passed a bill Wednesday morning that would impede methamphetamine cooks from buying a key ingredient: cold medicine. Cold medicines containing ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, precursor drugs to meth, are available without a prescription. Indiana has already placed limits on the amount of these medicines a pharmacy can sell to one person in a 30-day period, and prohibits sales to minors. Cold medicines containing pseudoephedrine are held behind the counter. “It’s very easy, despite the restrictions we already have, for meth cooks to make their products,” coauthor of the bill Sen. Randy Head, R-Logansport, said during the Senate session. Senate Bill 80, which passed in the Senate 41 to eight, would allow pharmacists to deny the sale of these drugs based on professional judgment. In a process called “smurfing,” a meth cook will ask accomplices to go from one pharmacy to the next picking up these medicines, usually in maximum doses. “The pharmacists tell us it is easy to identify who wants it for a cold and who wants it to make meth,” Head said. In January, legislators rejected proposals that would require a customer to obtain a prescription to buy medicine with pseudoephedrine. Opponents argued restricting the medicine

would hurt drug companies and citizens who currently use the medicine legally. Head told the Senate the method of allowing pharmacists to deny selling the medicines at their discretion has already helped curb meth abuse in Arkansas. He explained pharmacists in Arkansas would ask customers why they needed the maximum dosage of the medication, or would suggest another medicine that could treat their cold, if they felt suspicious of the customer. Meth labs consequently decreased by 95 percent, Head said. Fulton County, within his district in Indiana, also implemented this model, and the sale of the cold medicine Sudafed decreased by half, he said. He said he hopes to see similar results across the Hoosier state. “Indiana has led the nation in meth lab busts in each of the last three years and this is a terrible, terrible thing,” Head said. “The human cost is devastating.” Meth cost in Indiana was an estimated $1.87 billion in 2005, according to the IU Center for Health Policy. SB 80 also defines “drug related felony.” The offense of possessing a precursor to meth, which is illegal for meth offenders even if they obtain a prescription beforehand, would also apply to a person convicted of a drug related felony. The bill will now move to the House of Representatives for consideration. “I ask that you make it the law in the state of Indiana,” Head said.

A Bloomington couple was arrested early Wednesday after an altercation that resulted in the woman slashing the man with a kitchen knife after he strangled her in their home. Christopher Hoskins, 22, faces charges for strangulation and domestic battery and Alicia Montgomery, 22, was arrested on aggravated and domestic battery charges. The couple lives together on the 1200 block of West Cottage Grove Avenue and have children together, said Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steven Kellams. Both are now being held at the Monroe County Jail in lieu of $4,500 bail

for Hoskins and $15,500 bail for Montgomery. All of their injuries were minor and both refused medical treatment, Kellams said. The couple’s argument, which began on the topic of cigarettes and alcohol, escalated to Hoskins reportedly hitting and strangling Montgomery, causing swelling around her left eye, red marks on her throat and a bloody nose. Hoskins then left for the bedroom, and Montgomery followed, yelling at him to leave the house. After he refused to leave, he went into the bathroom and locked the door, Kellams said. Montgomery reportedly went to the kitchen to retrieve a large kitchen knife. She kicked a hole in the bathroom door, reached in,

unlocked it and managed to slash Hoskins in the hip and arm, Kellams said. He was left with a shallow laceration 8 to 10 inches long on his right hip and another small cut on the inside portion of his right arm, Kellams said. BPD authorities initially responded to a call at about 4:30 a.m. from Hoskins, who claimed he had been stabbed. When officers arrived, Hoskins became “extremely uncooperative” and aggressive with them, which led the officers to detain him in order to clarify what happened, Kellams said. They then located Montgomery at the house on West Cottage Grove Avenue. Samantha Schmidt

Things didn’t go as planned WE SAY: Planned Parenthood has been stained by false allegations Since its conception in 1916, Planned Parenthood has been a contentious entity through trial after trial to gain the acceptance of the American people. The latest court action to destroy Planned Parenthood surprisingly backfired. But we at the Editorial Board fear it wasn’t quick enough. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Similar controversies have been around since Roe v. Wade. Lately it seems as though Planned Parenthood’s long history of struggle and subjugation hasn’t merely repeated itself, it’s continuing down a long, flat road to nowhere. Last year the Center for Medical Progress, a pro-life activist organization, released a series of graphic videos showing a representative from Planned Parenthood selling fetal organs and tissue. An overwhelming commotion from anti-abortion

parties ensued. Not surprisingly, these videos caused an outcry from the public as well as government officials, all clamoring for the defunding of the government organization. The grotesque images made prospects dim for Planned Parenthood — the entire public seemed to have caught them red-handed. But, after a series of investigations, it wasn’t Planned Parenthood that was under suspicion. The CMP, specifically founder David R. Daleiden and member Sandra S. Merritt, were found to have wrongfully condemned the organization. Daleiden and Merritt have been indicted for tampering with government documents, including fabricating fake California driver’s licenses they used to represent themselves and their equally fake medical company, Biomax Procurement Services. Daleiden was also indict-

ed for soliciting or purchasing human organs. . Although justice has been served, the implications of these videos show in the stigma of the Planned Parenthood community. Planned Parenthood has always carried with it an inherent political stigma. The Editorial Board recognizes few are merely neutral about Planned Parenthood’s goals — many have polar views when it comes to the role of the family planning agency. The sad part is the stigma associated with Planned Parenthood’s objectives isn’t as easily turned over as these charges were. Although the videos were false, the speculations and rumors that circulated have further tainted the overall objectives of Planned Parenthood. Abortion is a sensitive topic. But when most people hear the name “Planned Parenthood” they immediately think of pictures of unborn

babies. This association has to stop. The Washington Post reported only three percent of Planned Parenthood’s services are related to abortion. The main goal of this organization is to promote women’s health. Eighty-five percent of the clinic is dedicated to things like the testing and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, contraception and cancer screening and prevention. These services aren’t simply things we want, they’re amenities we need. The prospect of defunding such an imperative organization is alarming, and it’s clear to us that even the smallest scandal can have huge implications. The public’s tendency to jump to conclusions is contagious — it spreads through the media like a virus. We shouldn’t lay blame until the correct facts are uncovered.

STEVE’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

Congressman Young has what it takes The race for the Indiana Senate seat, being vacated by Dan Coats, is hotly contested on the Republican side. The candidates are Rep. Todd Young, R-9th, Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd, Eric Holcomb, a former aide to former governor Mitch Daniels. All three of these candidates are qualified for this job. However, I think Young is the clear pick of the bunch. First, Young has an understanding of the state of our national defense and keeping our country safe. As a former Marine Corps intelligence officer, Young served on the front line of America’s national security. Young has also served on the House Armed Services Committee during his tenure in the House of Representatives. Young opposed and voted against the Iran Nuclear Arms Deal multiple times.

Young is pro-Israel and understands the benefits of a democratic ally in the Middle East. I believe Young’s conservative economic policies make him a natural choice for the Senate seat. Along with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Young helped introduce the Reins Act to Congress. This act would reinforce the checks and balances put in place by the Constitution. One government branch won’t become too powerful. This would be achieved by allowing both houses of Congress to approve or deny major regulations with economic implications of $100 million or more. This would prevent the bureaucracy, which resides in the executive branch, from having the ultimate say on regulations they have proposed themselves. Young served on the House Committee of Ways and Means, which deals

with taxation. Young fervently opposed the medical device tax, which levied a 2.3-percent excise tax on medical devices. This tax, passed as part of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, hinders economic development in the medical device industry in Indiana, forcing jobs out of the state. Young has also received a No Labels’ Problem Solver seal, which means he has pledged to commit to its National Strategic Agenda and its four goals: create 25 million jobs over the next 10 years, secure Social Security and Medicare for the next 75 years, balance the federal budget by 2030 and make America energy secure by 2024. The No Labels mission also includes a commitment to working across the aisle, with the slogan, “Committed to fix, not fight.” When I think of what I want from a Hoosier senator,

STEVEN ARANYI is a junior in history.

a number of things come to mind. I want a senator who knows how to keep us safe from our enemies and from economic dangers at home. I want a senator who protects American jobs and promotes industry and job creation. Young is willing to do what it takes to lead us forward, and he will lead from the front. Young has a proven track record for strong, conservative leadership, and he will continue to fight for the people of Indiana in Washington, D.C. I believe that every vote cast for Young is an investment in the future of Indiana and the United States. staranyi@indiana.edu

Axe brand body spray is becoming more than just a vestige of our middle school years. Recently, the brand aired a commercial called “Find Your Magic” featuring men of all different personalities, styles and body shapes doing what makes them who they are. Axe has made a progressive move with this commercial. For so long, perceptions of masculinity have been problematic — even dangerous at times — but are seldom discussed in mass media. The “magic” Axe shows here is not one size fits all. The “magic” differs from person to person. The commercial starts, “Who needs a six-pack when you’ve got the nose . . . ” and goes on to celebrate most everything else, from ginger hair to rocking heels at a dance performance. The advertisement promotes male self-acceptance, despite what society and modern media may portray as the end-all be-all ideal man. We pit men against each other as often as we pit women against each other. We tell them not to cry, to not be such a girl. We teach boys to be big and strong, but cold and emotionless. The results of these stereotypes can be psychologically damaging in the long run, and, according to a study at University of Wisconsin, they cause men to be more timid in asking others for help.

MAGGIE EICKHOFF is a sophomore in International Studies.

The same study also states men are often socialized through these norms. Because of the norms, men tend to adopt dangerous behaviors like physical violence, heavy drinking and sexual misconduct. A young man seeing an advertisement like Axe’s could make all the difference in his development. As many of us who have smelled a 12-year-old boy know, young men are some of Axe’s primary consumers. Much of the self-love and body peace movement is geared towards women, which is not surprising given the pressures they face. I am in no way discrediting these women’s health ventures. However, gender stereotypes and normalized physical ideals affect everyone. The Axe ad says to that tall skinny guy who has problems building muscle or to that short man who lives to dance: you are you and that is enough. While it may be a small step on the road to gender role dissolution, the mass broadcast of such a positive message for men chips away at traditional masculinity. It may even broaden the definition of masculinity for some. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff

THE COFFEE CHRONICLES

Let them eat cake There’s a phrase I absolutely can’t stand. “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.” The logic behind the saying is ridiculous. What’s the point in having cake if you can’t eat it? Then it just becomes something pretty to look at instead of what it is, food. My problem with the phrase is how people use it to talk to women and girls. The rationale behind it is you can’t have everything. And, in reality, you can’t. There is never going to be a perfect job, living situation or relationship. No one will ever have everything perfectly work out, and a dose of reality is healthy for us all. Yet, why do we echo this sentiment more with girls than with boys? The majority of my friends are overachievers. They are highly motivated and plan to do amazing things after college, whether it’s investment management, teaching, nursing or medical school. None of these careers are easy, and all of them require putting in sufficient time and sacrifice. However, my female friends receive such different reactions than their male counterparts. “How are you going to balance that with a family?” “Oh, so I guess you’re going to be the breadwinner in the house, huh?” “I don’t think I could ever be away from my kids for that long.” The idea that a woman has to have a family in order to be happy is ridiculous. More and more couples, and women, are choosing not to have children or putting off

starting a family. Some might say these actions are selfish, but they show that some people decide children are not part of the equation for them. And that’s okay. Some other women may decide a family is for them, or want pets or a partner who is supporting of career ambitions. Even more so, why are these questions never asked to men? Men are rarely asked about family life, nor are they asked about missing their children. Society expects girls, not men to sacrifice their work for their family. Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with someone putting family before career. Many people do it, and it works well for them. Additionally, there’s nothing wrong with prioritizing a career or education. Women’s lives are not measured solely on their ability to have a family. It’s more than that, and I believe women are capable of making choices benefiting them, their partners and their families. I think they can find a career fulfilling at work and at home. I believe they can have it all. I’m going to enjoy my accomplishments and lifestyle I built for myself; from now on, I’m going to have my cake and eat it too. npatwari@indiana.edu

IU adds National Player of the Year By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94

The 2016 recruiting class announced Wednesday might not contribute at all next season, but that’s not affecting IU Coach Todd Yeagley’s excitement. The class includes six players from five states, highlighted by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America’s High School Player of the Year AJ Palazzolo. He’s a defender. Half this class is made up of defenders set to join an IU team returning the entirety of its starting defense for next year. The other two defenders are Will Eslinger, the captain of the Colorado Rush, and Spencer Glass, who was named one of the top 150 players in the country by topdrawersoccer.com and who plays for the Indiana Fire. “It’s going to be tough to crack this group,” Yeagley said. “That’s certainly a fact. But this was partly to push the group, and to also be prepared for the next group.” But Palazzolo’s honor doesn’t mean a lot for Yeagley. Palazzolo had already committed to IU by the time he won the award, and Yeagley said he already

knew how good Palazzolo was. Yeagley said he was excited for Palazzolo to come to Bloomington before the award. “We’ve been liking AJ for over two years,” Yeagley said. “It just happens that he received a cool award at the end of the rainbow. He’s just someone who has a lot of qualities we look for in a defender.” But he likely won’t play this year. Not with the group of defenders who are ahead of him. This group includes two seniors in right-back Billy McConnell and center-back Derek Creviston. There’s also the two Chicago Fire Academy members, junior Grant Lillard and sophomore Andrew Gutman. But Yeagley isn’t concerned with Palazzolo sitting on the bench, or any of the incoming recruits. This explains why there aren’t any midfielders in this class. The last two years IU has recruited the midfield heavily, and those players are getting ready to step in now. In a year or two, the same could be said of the defenders of this class. The same could also be said for Drew Nuelle, a 6-foot-5 goalkeeper who Yeagley said could be the best goalkeeper in the class.

But he most likely won’t play because of senior Collin Webb, who has started the past two seasons. But once that happens, Yeagley said he can’t help but think how good Nuelle can be. His 6-foot-5 frame is only the start. There’s also his agility and movement around the box, combined with his intelligence as a goalkeeper. One area where IU might need immediate production is at forward, where the University brought in two recruits. Ian Black and Isaac Fiendt might have to contribute immediately since IU’s forward from last year won’t be back. Femi Hollinger-Janzen and Ben Maurey both graduated, with HollingerJanzen being drafted by the New England Revolution. IU has struggled to find consistent goal scorers in recent seasons. The last double-digit scorer was Eriq Zavaleta who scored 18 goals in 2012, the year IU last won its eighth national championship. “Goal scorers are tough to figure out,” Yeagley said. “Eriq Zavaeta was a center back on the youth national team. We saw him as a guy that can score goals so we scored him there.” Black was named an

Women’s soccer adds offense, idsnews.com Of the 11 recruits signed, nine play midfield or forward. All-American by the NSCAA, but he still has yet to play soccer year-round. So there’s no guarantee Black could step in and play regularly during his freshman year. The same goes for Fiendt, that’s just the nature of the position. In a perfect world, no player would be forced to play immediately, which is why Yeagley said he recruits years in advance. It forces the upperclassmen to play better and lets the incoming freshman improve. “I like having that little bit of insurance with that young player who doesn’t have to play from day one,” Yeagley said. “It’s not easy to start from day one.”

music at Clear Creek Christian School, said she tells her students music is history that can transport you to a different place and time. The music Mozart created for this opera has a quality of brilliance that can only come from all of his musical experience, Edge said. Mozart began composing music at the age of five. He wrote this opera at the age of 33, only two years before his death. “The melodies are beautiful and the emotion put into the libretto, the text of it, is just so packed,” Edge said. “The two together create this beautiful passion that comes through the music.” The story remains relevant today because the characters are struggling with their sense of self, Shell said. It’s something that everyone can identify with in any time period. “Identity is a huge thing that we’re all dealing with, no matter what age you are,” Shell said. “You can think your life is going to go in one direction, and then something can happen and you end up going down a path you never thought you would go down. There’s a lot of truth to it, and you can potentially see either yourselves or someone that you know in these people.”

other was adventurous, Shell said. The plot, which functions like a modern romantic comedy, is not lofty operatic subject matter, but is a relatable story that remains timeless. Operas are usually not rewritten and the music is not changed out of respect for the composer, Shell said, but he would not want to change it anyway. The only thing different from the original opera is it takes place at the turn of the 20th century instead of the 18th. “Of all of Mozart’s music for voice, this show has probably some of the most sensual,” Shell said. “It runs the gamut, like he often does. He has the ability to infuse comedy into his music and at the same time be poignant and so emotional.” First year master’s student Rachel Mikol, who plays Dorabella, said the cast started working on the music individually in October 2015. However, they did not start staging the production until the start of the spring semester. “It’s been really fastpaced,” Mikol said. “Once you learn the music, you just go.” Edge, who teaches

Wiley came to SPEA because he strongly believes in its slogan, “Lead for the Greater Good,” he said. Wiley added the school isn’t acting accordingly by accepting money from an organization that publicly undermines what the school stands for. The $210,000 addition to Noonan’s PEER Initiative, which places an emphasis on environmental policy topics and analysis and issues in governance, is a continuation of a grant that had been awarded previously. According to his online resume, Noonan’s four-year project has received

a total of $705,000 from the Charles Koch Foundation. The group also gave Noonan funding for four other projects, in which he took the role of principal investigator. The amount of money he has accepted from the Charles Koch Foundation totals $832,500. “It doesn’t surprise me that some people are concerned,” Dean of SPEA John Graham said. “This reaction is not new — students and people in the general public have lots of energy for activism, and that’s a good thing. It’s our job to be transparent about this.” Graham said the Koch Foundation has awarded grants to more than 300 universities. It is completely removed from their political endeavors, Graham said. “Our goal is to support

those who seek to advance an understanding of how free societies provide people the greatest opportunity to improve their lives,” said John Hardin, director of university relations at the Charles Koch Foundation. Hardin encourages students who are wary of the Koch name to learn more about the scholars and their work before making assumptions about potential biases, he said. “Institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have accepted millions of dollars from the Kochs, both as individuals and as a foundation,” Graham said. “I am not aware of any detriment in their reputations.” SPEA has worked to disclose any sources of exter-

nal funding if the amount reaches $10,000. Detailed University guidelines on sponsored research are available online and are updated yearly, as are a list of corporations, organizations and agencies that have funded faculty research. The agreement to accept grants is also not made on behalf of the school, but rather by the faculty conducting the research. Graham said the money can come from sources of all backgrounds, but what is most important is the peer-review process that ensures the legitimacy and lack of bias in the research. “Over the years, we have seen research being funded by countless groups, and this is a situation that is no different,” Graham said.

Koch Foundation funding to SPEA through the years SPEA professor Doug Noonan has received five separate grants from the Charles Koch Foundation since 2010. Noonan was the principal investigator on all five of the grants. The grant amounts, dates and titles are below. $15,000, Fall 2010 Political Economy and Environmental Research Fellowships $15,000, 2011-12 Political Economy and Environmental Research Fellowships $92,500, 2013-14 Poverty and Entrepreneurship in Indiana $705,000, 2014-17 Political Economy and Environmental Research Initiative (This is the grant recently extended by $210,000) $5,000, 2015 A Revealed Surplus Approach to Measuring Well-Being SOURCE: DOUG NOONAN’S CV, SPEA.IUPUI.EDU

5:52 a.m. I don’t think I’ve been awake this early, willingly or unwillingly, in more than five years. But I’m awake now, sitting in the IU Cinema and waiting to watch “Groundhog Day,” a Bill Murray film I’ll see more than 10 times by the end of the day. There are 38 people in the theater, which seems very impressive for such an early weekday showing. “We are always brainstorming inventive ways to bring all types of audiences to the IU Cinema, and the marathon screenings have been well received by both the Bloomington campus and the community, drumming up a lot of interest and word-of-mouth enthusiasm,” Brittany D. Friesner, associate director of the IU Cinema, said in an email interview. One of my fellow audience members is also watching “Groundhog Day” for the first time. At least, she thinks she is. “I have no idea, but I don’t think so. I think this is my first time,” Maddie, 6, says. At first she said no, firmly, but was then told by her 8-year-old brother, Dean, she had watched the movie on Netflix. “Wait, have I?” No clue. The lights dim, and the 6 a.m. showing of “Groundhog Day” begins.

“Groundhog Day” is a solid movie. A very solid movie. It’s funny and smart and has an actual, legitimately good plot that I can at least watch two times without losing my mind. Bill Murray plays Phil Connors, a cynical weatherman covering the groundhog festival in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, with a new producer Rita (Andie MacDowell) and his cameraman Larry (Chris Elliott). He watches as the groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, declares in Groundhogese that he sees his shadow and there will be six more weeks of winter. Connors does his broadcast, tries to leave, gets snowed in by a blizzard and then wakes up in Punxsutawney the next day. Except it’s not the next day. It’s Groundhog Day. Again. And so Connors has to find a way to try to make tomorrow happen again — after, of course, robbing a money truck, going on a joyride, sleeping with some locals and learning background information on all the Punxsutawney citizens. He commits suicide countless times, still waking up at 6 a.m. on Groundhog Day. Eventually, he becomes a better person and time resumes. All in all, a film I can get behind. Which is good, since I will be behind this film for the next 18 hours.

Every time Connors wakes up at 6 a.m. on Groundhog Day, the radio is playing “I Got You Babe,” by Sonny & Cher. IU Cinema is playing “I Got You Babe” between each movie showing. Nice.

On Feb. 2, Weekend went where no one has ever gone before. Or, in this case, where many people have been. But we went for a really long time. For 18 hours, we watched the 1993 Bill Murray classic “Groundhog Day” over and over and over at the IU Cinema marathon. For Groundhog Day.

9:26 a.m. I slept. I slept long and hard. I slept through 90 percent of that showing. Is it possible to be too good at sleeping? I don’t think I can be in a dark space without crashing. There were eight people in the second showing, so I don’t feel bad about taking up a spot for my nap.

If I had any shred of musical talent I would start a band called Gobbler’s Knob. As it is now, I can play almost all of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” on the piano, and I don’t think I can book shows with that. Especially since the band name Gobbler’s Knob gives off a very alternative vibe that would clash with my slightly off-key classic Christmas jam.) Doubly Dying

1 p.m. I’ve heard Connors’ annoying schoolmate, Ned Ryerson, say “heckfire” more times than I’ve ever wanted to. Heckfire isn’t a word anyone ever wants to hear on a regular basis, let alone from a character played by Steven Tobolowsky.

1:16 p.m. It’s time for me to exit the theater and rejoin the outside world, if only for a couple hours. Class is important. Especially when you’ve already missed a class the week before due to a bad cold and a poorly-timed NyQuil dosage.

3:31 p.m. I stop in the newsroom on my way back to IU Cinema from class, and my editor says a horrible thing. Practically unforgivable. “What if you live this Groundhog Day over and over? Like you watch the movie eleven times a day every day?” Ok, thank you for the encouragement. I’m trying to hype myself up for only five more screenings, and then this is dropped on me. Not to mention, the director of “Groundhog Day,” Harold Ramis, said Connors experienced the same day for 10 years, according to IMDB. That means, for me, assuming I could work out how to make time pass again after those 10 years, I would watch “Groundhog Day” more than 40,000 times.

3:46 p.m. It’s raining on my walk back to the IU Cinema. I’m one for superstition, so I interpret this as a sign. I don’t know if it’s a bad one, or the idea of a clean start. A new perspective on “Groundhog Day,” my worries being washed away. I arrive in the middle of the sixth showing, just in time to see the montage of Connors committing suicide. This clarifies the sign, for sure.

Ryan Murphy shows a new side ‘AMERICAN CRIME STORY’ Cuba Gooding, Jr., Sarah Paulson, John Travolta, David Schwimmer, Courtney B. Vance

B+ I went into “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” with excitement, tempered with heavy skepticism and doubt. Ryan Murphy’s shows have a track record of lacking a solid middle or end to a story arc, which is so sad because he’s such an incredible concept creator. Look at every single season of “American Horror Story.” Aesthetically and conceptually, they’re beautiful, visceral, ballsy and intricate. The tones and atmospheres that he sets on his shows are so specific, the hardest job for a showrunner to accomplish. But none of that matters by the end of each season, because I’ve already stopped watching a few episodes ago. I couldn’t keep up with his convoluted and complicated mess of a story. Regardless, when I saw Murphy was tackling the ballooning genre of true crime, I was thrilled. This had the chance to be something outstanding. And last night, it was.

Surprisingly, last night’s pilot showed a new, more mature side to Murphy. He set aside his thick paintbrush for a moment and let the story shine through. In the pilot, we see the opening scenes of the O.J. Simpson murder trial saga — police naming him a suspect in the murder of his ex-wife through his infamous escape with the white Ford Bronco. The pacing of the episode is brilliant — quick, but not hurried, and rarely dropping the tension. More importantly, Murphy is shaping the pacing of the arc equally brilliantly. The choice to not end the episode with the Bronco chase, but rather to leave it to open next week’s episode, proves this. Cuba Gooding, Jr., as O.J. is terrific. He’s subtle enough in his painting of the ego and vulnerability of “Juice.” Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark, the cold, no-nonsense prosecutor in the Simpson case, also

gives a commendable performance. The real standouts here, though, are two actors dragged off the dusty shelf — John Travolta and David Schwimmer as defense lawyers Robert Shapiro and Robert Kardashian, respectively. Their nuanced

performances round out a sure-footed ensemble. As other critics have noted, this show is bringing up uncomfortable conversations that were blasted in the ’90s during this case. And these conversations are equally as important, if not more so,

now. Conversations about race relations, influence of the media, fame, violence against women and the flaws of the justice system have been recent national topics. “American Crime Story” opened last night on a clear, loud, pitch-perfect note. The

writing, acting and direction was all top notch. However, this is a Ryan Murphy show, so it’s a sad fact that there’s no telling how much longer that quality will last. Ike Hajinazarian @_IkeHaji

Rihanna’s ‘Anti’ is unprecedented and unrepentant ‘ANTI’ Rihanna

A I should never have agreed to do this. Seconds after making the written commitment that I, Gregory Isaac Gottfried, would be reviewing Rihanna’s new album “Anti,” I started to worry. “What do I know about Rihanna?” I asked myself as I got dinner. “You should have just let someone else claim it,” I thought, entering the elevator. “No one cares what you

think about this album,” I admitted to myself, staring out the window wistfully while regretting this decision. And then I listened to “Anti” again and remembered why I was so adamant on signing up for it. The album is really good. The record begins with some bass that Meghan Trainor would be all about. It’s abrasive, up-in-yourface and every beat seems just a smidge off. This is purposeful. You’re supposed to be uncomfortable. Then Rihanna starts to sing. “I came fluttering in from

Neverland / Time can never stop me, no, no, no, no / I know you’ve tried to” The opening beat’s uncompromising nature makes sense after just the first few lyrics. Rihanna very easily could have distorted her style to make it onto the airwaves. She’s gone pop before with songs like “Umbrella,” “Don’t Stop the Music” and “Take a Bow.” These are all fine songs, but don’t seem to resonate in the way that the songs on “Anti” do. Rather, these songs are more personal. I don’t actually know who Rihanna

is. This may surprise you, but I’ve never actually met her. With that said, if this isn’t a solid representation of the artist, she’s a hell of an actor. Every song in the first half of the album echoes in peculiar ways. “Consideration” is unrepentant and a bit pissed off. “Desperado” speaks about re-finding oneself. “Woo” has a nostalgic sentiment. But then, in a blink of an eye, the album completely changes. From the seventh to 13th songs, “Anti” becomes an album about lost love. Rihanna’s struggle

with love and the idea of it continues to be the fulcrum of the second act of the record, culminating in my favorite song of 2016 thus far, “Higher.” Clocking in at just two minutes, “Higher” is somehow more powerful than any other track put out this year. Rihanna expresses her need for companionship in such a soulful and destructive way that it is physically painful to get through the song. “This whiskey got me feelin’ pretty / So pardon if I’m impolite,” Rihanna sings. “I just really need your ass with me / I’m sorry

‘bout the other night.” Purposefully slurring her words but still hitting notes that would make a dog howl at the moon, “Higher” is powerful, sweet, moving and heartbreaking all at the same time. From start to finish, “Anti” is a startling album. Every beat has the Tom Haverford “banger” seal of approval, with a voice from Rihanna that has never sounded so pure and authoritative. I’m not “Anti” this album. I’m all in.

Because short films are often overlooked in favor of feature-length films, the Ryder Magazine and Film Series is screening this year’s 15 Oscar-nominated short films in order to raise awareness of them, Ryder founder Peter LoPilato said. Last weekend the Ryder Series began its sixth annual Oscar Short Film Festival. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays leading up to the 88th annual Academy Awards on Feb. 28, the group is screening the films nominated for Best Documentary (Short Subject), Best Short Film (Animated) and Best Short Film (Live Action). The Ryder is doing multiple screenings of all 15 films over the next three weekends. LoPilato said the film festival is necessary to help inform Bloomington residents on these short films. “You can see most of the features at the multiplex,” he said. “For the most part, you can’t see the short films anywhere else.” These films are grouped into programs respective to their nomination categories. A $5 ticket guarantees entrance into one program, but a $10 Oscar Pass allows entrance to all three programs and is redeemable on different nights and different weekends. Children ages six and under do not need tickets. These films, which come from different parts of the world, represent different cultures and different societies, LoPilato said. “I’d like to think that, in a very small way, internation-

mark. “Hello! Welcome to the Book Club” was one in which it did not work. It was kind of like watching a TV show where the main character is just talking to themselves the entire time and not the other actors. This was a selection that had the potential for a really creepy, sinister ending leaving the reader with an unsettling feeling in their stomach, but unfortunately it was just too hard to follow. One of my favorite stories, “The Fitter,” followed the wife of a man born with the innate ability to size women’s bras. Yes, you read that right, and yes, it was as weird to read as it sounds. But the story went deeper than lingerie and showed the unlikely bond between two women in a small town going through their own middle-age struggles. “American Housewife” is nothing life-altering and it certainly is not an advertisement for the housewife lifestyle, but it’s something I would definitely pick up again to read through my favorite selections. Be prepared for anything from murderous, New Yorknative homemakers, to struggling writers competing on dumpster diving reality shows. It’s not always pretty and not always easy to follow, but “American Housewife” is certainly always unexpected. rarosens@indiana.edu @rachrosenstock

LIVING LA SEVILLA LOCA

Saying yes to each adventure, trying one sea urchin at a time I had my first excursion outside of Sevilla this past weekend to a small beach town on the coast of the south of Spain called Cadiz. When we got off the bus after the hour and a half ride, the first thing we could see was this big, blue abyss — the Atlantic Ocean. My friends and I kept talking about how we were waiting for the moment we realized we were actually living in Spain and not just away from our homes like we normally would be at school. The moment we saw the water helped that realization set in. More than 3,600 miles of water separated me at that point from my home in New Jersey, and more than 4,200 miles from my home in Bloomington. It took me almost an entire 24 hours to travel from home to Spain and now, after almost four weeks of living in this foreign land, I am starting to feel at home. This semester is all about constantly asking questions and saying “yes” to every possible adventure. During my free time following a morning of tours in Cadiz, a group of us went down on the beach and had a picnic. We took in the soft-beach air and accepted the fact the water we were staring at was the thing separating us from our past lives in the United States. I am in no way considered a Spaniard, at least, not yet. I am constantly getting lost and am spoken to in English after asking a question in Spanish, but every day is a step closer to immersion. One of my favorite adventures so far was trying sea urchins for the first time. Throughout the streets of Cadiz were these small booths just covered in sea urchins and oysters, fresh out of the ocean. A nice man happily let me purchase just one to try

versus the entire tray of 12. He took out a large sharp knife and carefully cut the creature in half, exposing the meat between the spikes. I am normally very adventurous with all my food. I am happy to try anything at least once. Although one of my fingers was pricked by the spikes, I was satisfied with the end product. The taste of sand and salt water stayed in my mouth all afternoon, but it was worth it. On Monday, I started my official classes of the semester and haven’t gotten lost finding any of them so far, but I’m not holding my

Short Film Festival returns

Short stories offer take on housewives A key part of a becoming a literary connoisseur is not only branching out to genres outside of your comfort zone, but also experimenting with different story forms outside of the traditional novel. One of my personal favorites is a collection of short stories that I explored last week called “American Housewife: Stories” by Helen Ellis. This collection contained 12 stories ranging from only a page in length to 20 to 30 pages long. The very short stories — and I use that word loosely in these cases — could more accurately be called witty lists of rules and guidelines for the American housewife to follow. My personal favorite, “Take it from Cats,” was essentially a page-long metaphor between the life of a cat and a housewife. I found myself actually laughing out loud during the first story, “What I do All Day,” at the extremely relatable line, “I cry because I don’t have the upper-arm strength to flat iron my hair.” The eight longer stories were hit or miss — some accomplished their goal of being funny or creepy, some were just plain incoherent and hard to follow. Most of the stories in “American Housewife” had an ambiguous main character — I often read an entire selection without knowing who was being addressed. I think the author’s intention was to put the reader in the shoes of a character in the story, but that’s a slippery slope. In some stories it worked, in some it totally missed the

I will soon be forced to get lost on purpose for these classes in order to fully capture the Seville culture and find the stories that are hidden in the streets.

al films promote diversity and cultural understanding,” he said. “Especially in the age that we live in today, those are important things.” On Fridays and Saturdays, the films will be screened at the IU Fine Arts building. On Sunday evenings, the films will be screened at Bear’s Place. Because of The Ryder’s busy schedule, LoPilato said Sunday screenings at Bear’s Place have become part of their normal policy. “We show films 50 weeks out of the year,” he said. “We only skip Christmas and New Years. That’s it.” On Feb. 21, the live action and animated films will be screened at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Over the past six years, LoPilato said the animated films have generally been more popular than the live

action and documentary films. Although the animated films often contain adult themes, he said these screenings have become a family event. “I think animated films in 2015 are more sophisticated than they were 20 years ago, and I’m not just talking about technologically sophisticated,” he said. “They’re written and conceived to appeal to adults, although their target audience is still children.” At the end of each program, viewers have the opportunity to vote for the film they believe will win the Academy Award. A free ticket to a Ryder film will be given to correct predictions, and winners will be entered into a drawing for a dinner for two. Along with the five animated shorts that will be

Because the animated films are shorter than the live action and documentary films, LoPilato said they chose to include some shortlisted films as well. LoPilato said short films are an important form that can tell a powerful story in a short period of time. “These are the best that came out last year,” he said. “They have all of the passion and intelligence and resonance and complexity as most feature-length films that we will see this year.”

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

‘Jane Got a Gun’ shows the power of paternal love ‘JANE GOT A GUN’ Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton, Ewan McGregor

A A mother’s love can be the fiercest weapon of all, and “Jane Got a Gun” proves that at every turn. The Gavin O’Connordirected movie follows pioneer woman Jane Hammond, played by Oscar winner Natalie Portman, as she tries to protect her family from the wrath of the Bishop Boys gang. Her husband Bill, played by Noah Emmerich, comes home full of bullets after doing battle with the gang’s leader, John, played by Ewan McGregor. Jane must then turn to Dan Frost, played by Joel Edgerton, whose past is intertwined with Jane’s. The pair must come to grips with what has happened to them in order to ensure her family’s survival. Jane must make sacrifices in order to protect her loved ones. At the beginning of the movie, she is forced to send her daughter Katie away to stay with a friend so that no harm comes to her. She is also forced to sacrifice her pride by asking

for Dan’s help. “Jane Got a Gun” has wonderful use of flashback sequences that tell the audience just how Jane became the woman that she is. Portman delivers a wonderful performance as Jane, showing the strength and resolve needed for the character. While each scene she is a part of is a treat, the ones where Jane shows her maternal fury are truly a sight to behold. Her marksmanship is also wonderful, as she is ready to take out any and all villainous characters that dare to cross her path. Edgerton is lovably grumpy as Dan Frost. You begin to feel for him as you learn more about his and Jane’s backstories. He and Portman work well together to bring the story of Jane and Dan’s reconciliation of past hurts to the screen. McGregor also gives an eerie performance as the villainous John Bishop, who will stop at nothing to make the Hammonds’ lives a living

nightmare. Other cast members include Rodrigo Santoro, Boyd Holbrook, Alex Manette, James Burnett and Sam Quinn as members of the Bishop Boys gang, who are responsible for all of the misery Jane and her family have endured. Seeing the fierceness with which Jane strives to protect her family is an absolute delight, mainly because of the way the film celebrates it rather than degrades it. Jane is allowed to have her vulnerable moments worried for her daughter and fights the bad guys all at once. The film also provides a nice change of pace in how Dan and Jane find some closure and put the past behind them. Bear in mind that this movie is not for the faint of heart. Jane is made to go through some harrowing moments in flashbacks to her past that border on traumatic. “Jane Got a Gun” is a masterfully spun tale of survival, resilience and a mother’s unstoppable love for her family. If you plan on going to see any movie over the weekend, this should be it. Kelseigh Ingram @KelseighIngram

The population of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, is 6,782, according to their welcome sign. Connors estimates 1,000 people are at Gobbler’s Knob for the festival. I’ll add in an extra 100 for people working in the town that we see on screen. Roughly 1,100 people in the movie. Two of these people are extras, who pass Connors when he is talking to Ryerson on the street. These two characters are my favorites now, solely for the fact I’ve never heard their voices. I’ve named these two characters Brian and Miranda. Brian is in a yellow hat, with a puffy white, blue and black jacket. Kelly is in a toboggan and a blue jacket, and she has blonde hair with bangs. They go to the local high school, and basically live out an episode of “Saved by the Bell” every time Groundhog Day is repeated. I spend the next hour thinking about “Saved by the Bell” with the addition of Miranda and Brian. I make a note to find Mario Lopez on Twitter during the next break.

6:49 p.m. [Jack tags in] I’ve seen “Groundhog Day” plenty of times over the years, but it’s not until this showing that I realize its true genius: managing to seem funny and lighthearted even though its premise is legitimately terrifying. Phil Connors endures countless disappointments, countless deaths and countless hours flipping cards into hats just in an effort to shake his shadow. He is Sisyphus, he is Gregor Samsa, he is Leo in “The Revenant,” he is all of us. Also: Rita has horrible news judgment; Ned looks more like a groundhog than the actual groundhog; I relate to the scene where Connors watches “Jeopardy!” and nonchalantly answers; and who the heck carries $339.88 in cash?

8 00 8:26 p.m. [Anna tags back in] One meeting and a chocolate brownie Clif bar later, I’m back at IU cinema. I’m about a half-hour late to the ninth showing of “Groundhog Day,” and I’m back until the bitter end. Until my Groundhog Day is over. When Connors is out at the bar with two Punxsutawney local men, one gives him the whole spiel about the glass being half-empty or half-full, using his own half-full beer as a reference. “I peg you as a glass half-empty kind of guy,” says Gus to Connors. The glass is both half-full and half-empty. Why is this always such a big debate in movies and in real life? Why does the way you see a glass tell everyone if you are a ray of sunshine or damn Eeyore? Both people are right. It’s both. Both are right. Half-full or half-empty, I would drain that beer right now.

6:28 p.m. Mario Lopez’s Twitter is very disappointing.

6:48 p.m. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I don’t expect different results from my movie watching. I don’t expect anything about household matters. Take a carefully calculated risk. Navigate surprises gracefully. Finish and clean up. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — Postpone shopping, and focus on your work today and tomorrow. Saving money doesn’t need to cramp your style. Take a creative tack. Jump a hurdle. Soothe someone who’s irritated. Relax after work with a colleague. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 — Get into your game over the next few days. Enjoy your practice. Do something fun with someone interesting. Don’t try to buy favor. Study your strategies. Play together with common passions. Create love.

As Connors slides into depression while reliving one of his least favorite job assignments on an endless loop, Phil the groundhog is living what is probably one of the best days of his short life. Sure, it would be slightly confusing with the noise and camera flashes. But he is getting some attention, which I’m guessing his average dayto-day life is severely lacking.

They are on stage, parading around a giant rodent as their puppet, all the while conspiring behind the scenes. They are the ones on stage in top hats and plaid vests. They are probably the ones who benefit the most from the increased tourism to the town. It’s the patriarchy. It’s the patriarchy bringing down a (at the time the movie was released) 106-year-old tradition. This is it. This will be my final lesson from “Groundhog Day.” I thought I would learn a lesson from watching the same movie over and over, but I don’t know if I learned anything. I might have even un-learned some things. I will have PTSD if I ever see Bill Murray again.
