Ruesta remembered for bright smile, loyalty life,” Hill said. “I still remember his smile. It was just disarming.”

Alex was a freshman at IU on his way home for winter break when he was killed in a car accident.

One of the things about Alex that made people want to be around him was his humor. Even when he was only 2 1/2 years old, he was getting his mom to laugh.

“I was pregnant with his brother, and he grabbed my glasses and ran around holding them on his face saying, ‘I’m pregnant and you’re in time out’ to imitate me,” Hill said.

He was also known for breaking out in song, and sometimes female classmates would jump in.

When Alex and Andres Ruesta were young, their mother Kristin Hill would make up stories to tell them.

They especially loved stories that had Native Americans in them, so Hill would put her boys in the story with made-up names.

Andres’ was Tenderfoot, for his tender feet, and Alex’s was Bright Star, because of the way he could light up a room with his presence and smile.

After Alex’s death Dec. 17, Hill will always remember her son by the same smile that inspired his fictional name.

He enjoyed hip-hop music and people told him he looked like Bruno Mars.

Alex came into IU as a business major but realized it wasn’t for him, Hill said. A few months into his freshman year, he told his mom he wanted to become a pilot and join the U.S. Air Force, but really he was more into living in the moment.

“He was pretty content to be carpe diem,” Hill said. “It was just dawning on him this year he SEE RUESTA, PAGE 6

Proposed state budget to give $200 million more to schools dsmetz@indiana | @DanielSMetz

Funding for education will receive additional focus in the new state budget.

Gov. Pence’s recommended budget for the next two fiscal years was announced before the State Budget Committee on Thursday.

Pence’s budget lists a number of commitments and priorities, namely to see that the budget remains honestly balanced, holds the line on spending, maintains reserves, funds our priorities and incurs no new debt.

The budget places an emphasis on supporting education by increasing funding for grades K-12 by 2 percent, or $134 million, in fiscal year 2016 and 1 percent, or $67 million, for fiscal year 2017.

“This is an education budget,” Pence said in a press release. “It puts Hoosiers first, continues Indiana on a pathway to prosperity and funds our priority of expanding educational opportunities for all our kids, from pre-K and K-12 to higher education and into the adult workforce.”

Some of the other initiatives that the budget details for education includes adding 10 percent more funding for Teacher Performance Grants each year, for a total of $63 million dollars by the end of fiscal year 2017.

The recommended budget also provides $10 million each year for the new pre-K pilot program, which awards grants to 4-year-olds from lowincome families intending to attend preschool.

One more component of the recommended budget is the increase of $7 million in each of the next two years for adult high schools and another $5 million each year to fund Turnaround Support Initiatives to help failing school districts.

Funding for higher education is also a big focus of Pence’s recommended budget.

“We have committed ourselves to funding our priorities, beginning with excellence in education and increasing educational opportunities for all students from pre-K through higher education,” Pence said in the SEE BUDGET, PAGE 6

It was looking like more of the same for IU. Five days after scoring 50 points at Michigan State, IU’s offense had nothing going for it early against No. 22 Ohio State.

IU possessed the ball nine times in the first five minutes: five turnovers, three missed shots, just two points. The offense wasn’t moving, and boos were coming from the Assembly Hall crowd.

Again, the Hoosiers were standing around. Again, shots weren’t falling.

Again, IU was on its way to an ugly loss.

Then the Hoosiers woke up.

After falling behind early, IU held the lead for the entire second half. Ohio State guard D’Angelo Russell had an open look to tie the game at the buzzer, but it went long to give IU the victory.

“It was a game where we were able to hold momentum a little bit longer, and that helped us,” Crean said.

The three-man trio of Yogi Ferrell, Troy Williams and James Blackmon Jr., made most of those plays. The three combined for 43 points and 21 rebounds.

Williams was everywhere for the Hoosiers. He finished with 15 points, and a career-high 12 rebounds for his second career double-double, adding in three assists and a block. Crean praised the sophomore forward’s production, but said his biggest moment came early in the second half.

Brooklyn garage rock band coming to the Bishop Bar

By Adam Smith adbsmith@indiana.edu | @adbsmithIU

Brooklyn garage rockers Team Spirit have been touring the United States off and on since the release of their debut album in 2013.

Before they head off to support Motion City Soundtrack on their “Commit This to Memory 10 Year Anniversary Tour,” Team Spirit is stopping at the Bishop on Tuesday, Jan. 13 to share their music with Bloomington.

The band is led by Ayad Al Adhamy, founder of Black Bell Records and former Passion Pit keyboardist.

Team Spirit released their debut album, “Killing Time,” in September 2014, following up the band’s two 2012 extended plays, “Love is for Suckers” and “Team Spirit.” Accord-

ing to the music blog Culture Collide, Team Spirit “is a sonic hurricane born from Al Adhamy’s renewed love for raw guitar fueled rock n’ roll.”

Dan Coleman, owner of Spirit of ’68 Promotions, the promotion company putting on the show, said he thinks Team Spirit will put on a really fun show.

“In a world where a lot of bands are using guitars to create, like, new ideas, they’re a band who’s still using guitars to make, you know, fun party music,” he said.

Coleman also said he thinks the show is a good fit for the start of a new semester. “It’s a band whose whole vibe is just to have the best time possible,” he said.

Opening for Team Spirit is a Bloomington local group, the Alamo Freeze. Brian O’Connor, the band’s

O’Connor also said this show is acting as a grand finale for their current drummer, Matt McCarthy. It will be their last show with him before he moves to Nashville, Tenn.

Students respond to attacks

By Maia Cochran maicochr@indiana.edu | @_maiacochran

Two gunmen stormed Charlie Hebdo’s central office in Paris on Wednesday in possible retaliation against controversial cartoons published, killing 12 people.

Muslims are being called “Muslim savages” and “extremists” by tweeters across the globe after Wednesday’s events, including hashtags such as, “#banIslam” flooded international Twitter timelines.

“I also witnessed hashtags on Twitter such as, ‘#KillAllMuslims’ and the like, which suddenly seemed to give me, a Muslim, a stake in a conflict an ocean away,” Dana Khabbaz said.

Khabbaz is a sophomore double major in political science and international studies. She is a declared Muslim, active in the Muslim Student Union as the philanthropy chair.

Charlie Hebdo magazine is known for its satirical caricatures of the Muslim prophet, Muhammad, as well as figures of various religions. However, due to the nature of recent events in the Middle East, the caricatures seem not-so-satirical in a country where almost 4.7 million inhabitants are declared Muslims.

The cartoons not only depict Muhammad — an act that is banned in strict Islamic societies — but they are illustrated in a way that poses the Muslim prophet as an object of comedy and conflict.

“It would be like seeing your mom or dad, or another role model in your life, being publicly ridiculed,” said Ramaze Akram, senior biology major and co-president of the MSU. Akram and Khabbaz said

they absolutely do not agree with the offensive material Charlie Hebdo published.

“I don’t know if this has anything to do with my Muslim identity — or if it’s just the person that I am — but some of the stuff (Hebdo Magazine) has published did make me a little bit uncomfortable at times,” Khabbaz said.

Khabbaz said that the offensive material she has seen was not only on satirical cartoons of religious figures, but also blatant illustrations of racism. The magazine attacked a lot of people, not just Muslims, Khabbaz said.

Khabbaz said she does believe that, in a country where it is legal, the publications did not warrant such retaliation.

Though she said she does not support the material of the magazine, she fully supports freedom of expression and opinions.

Akram and Khabbaz both said they do not believe anyone should be silenced or “gagged on (the Muslims’) behalf.”

The magazine has a long history of fighting lawsuits filed by religious communities in regards to controversial and offensive cartoons of religious figures. Judicial courts of France have declared every time that freedom of speech defends the publication of these cartoons.

“I understand that not drawing or picturing a prophet is a bigger issue in Islamic countries, but in no light would someone be killed over such acts,” Akram said.

Wednesday’s attack was not the first act of retaliation the magazine received from local Islamic communities.

from the Islamic community.

“We can either support this hate speech, or support people being killed for this hate speech, and of course we don’t want people being killed, so we tend to side with the magazine,” Khabbaz said.

In 2011, the French government outlawed the wearing of any veils or other face coverings, which is an iconic Muslim practice.

Khabbaz said in reality the idea of being both Muslim and claiming identification with non-Islamic countries do not conflict in most scenarios.

She also said that she recognizes that tensions are bound to run high between Muslim immigrants and French people, given that the majority of new immigrants entering France are Muslims.

French President François Hollande made a statement after the Hebdo shooting, declaring the country wounded in the heart of where “the spirit of liberty, and thus of resistance, breathed freely.”

A statement regarding the attacks in Paris written

by President of the Islamic

Center of Bloomington, Mohammad Syifa A. Widigdo, said these violent reactions to such publications are strongly against the teachings of the Muslim faith.

Widigdo, on behalf of the ICOB, refers to the French journalists as innocent victims of “heinous acts” and hopes to see justice instilled upon them. “(Muslims) stand for justice and peace, globally, national and locally, for all,” Widigdo said.

Khabbaz said, in her understanding of the Muslim faith, the Muslim culture is a peaceful culture with limitations even on their use of selfdefense.

She said she believes oftentimes the people who have hate for Muslims are typically mistranslating the Quran, or that they present arguments based on information that is “simply untrue about the Muslim faith.”

“There is nothing in the Islamic belief system that you can draw, say or write that could justify the killings,” Akram said.

Alum launches Snapchat for rappers

By Suzanne Grossman spgrossm@indiana.edu @suzannepaige6

A new app, RapChat, is gaining in popularity, having reached 34,500 downloads, and 20,000 from December alone.

IU alumnus Andrew Schroyer first heard about the app company from LinkedIn, which prompted him to reach out to its CEO, Seth Miller.

Schroyer is now a coowner and user experience designer for the app on a team of eight.

“It’s like Snapchat, but for sending raps,” Schroyer said.

Currently the app allows you to send messages to Facebook friends, but soon they hope to create a username base so RapChat users don’t have to be Facebook friends to send raps back and forth.

“A lot of people freestyle to friends for fun and that’s the art of music,” Schroyer

said. “You don’t always have the ability to be with your friends so when you’re not with them you can use the app to send raps back and forth. People find it really addicting.”

Unlike other apps, RapChat allows the user to place a producer’s beat behind their raps.

“A lot of feedback we’ve had is our beats are better,” Schroyer said. “At some point I want to get placements for producers to get their beats on there and have it linked to their Facebook and Twitter.”

IU student and RapChat user Sam Thiel said he likes the app because it’s helped him improve.

“I’m not the best, but it allows me to have some fun and send raps and ideas to friends,” Thiel said.

Although the app’s download rate heavily increased in December, Schroyer said they still have things to improve upon, such as

Carolyn Walters began working for IU Libraries in 1987. After 27 years, she began her role as the new Ruth Lilly Dean of University Libraries on Jan. 8.

“The IU Libraries, and academic libraries in general, have changed a great deal over the past 27 years, and I have found responding to that change both challenging and rewarding,” Walters said. “The many positions I have served in over the years have given me the opportunity to contribute to creating a library that actively, and I think successfully, provides the resources, staff expertise and physical spaces needed to support the research and teaching mission of Indiana University.”

Walters has held the position of executive associate dean of IU Libraries since 2005, and in 2012 became the founding executive director of the Office of Scholarly Publishing.

“I’ve worked with her in a lot of different contexts on a lot of different projects. It’s always a pleasure,” said Jason Jackson, director of Mathers Museum of World Cultures. “She has the kind of personal disposition or interactional style that makes complicated group work fun as well as successful.”

Jackson has worked with Walters directly on the development of the Office of Scholarly Publishing. He served as member of the faculty advising committee for the new office.

Jackson said Walters is a great partner.

“She’s incredibly effective in her work in terms of knowing what she’s doing and also as a leader,” he said.

IU Vice President for IT and CIO Brad Wheeler said Walters’ appointment to dean is great for IU Bloomington.

“She is an excellent collaborator to get things done for students,” Wheeler said.

During her time with IU Libraries, Walters has led many projects for the advancement of libraries and accessible information.

She worked with the University Information Technology Services to create the Information Commons, setting a precedent for libraries across the nation.

Now known as the Learning Commons, it provides students with a place for individual and group study with innovative technology readily available to them.

Jackson said Walters has a real vision for how IU Libraries fit into the campus and the world.

“These days, libraries and higher education in general are changing a lot,” he said. “It takes leaders with vision to figure out where to go and what it all means in the context of change.”

Although Walters acts as a quintessential leader, Director of Communications for IU Libraries Becky Wood said her emphasis is not on herself.

“Dean Walters always emphasizes that the real story is not about her but about the IU Libraries,” she said, “She brings a spirit of partnership, collaboration and vision to this position that has grown over the course of her 27-year career with the IU Libraries.”

Walters said IU Libraries has plans in place to renovate the Media and Reserves space on the ground floor of Herman B Wells Library into the Moving Image Archive later this spring.

This space will provide an area for the study, viewing and preservation of film and other media.

Walters said partnerships are of critical importance to the libraries, and plans to keep current partnerships and expand toward new partnerships if necessary.

With more changes on the horizon for IU Libraries, Jackson looks forward to having Walters’ inside perspective.

“What we’re really fortunate to have, in this case, is someone who really knows IU,” he said, “who’s been totally involved in understanding where these plans are coming from and where they’re going is now going to be the dean of the library.”

making the app available for Android users and not just those with Apple products.

The app also gives users the ability to post on Facebook and Twitter and saves all raps sent to friends.

“We’ve been getting good traffic with that,” Schroyer said. “Raps get retweeted and a lot of other people hear what they rapped and

find out about RapChat.”

Thiel encourages other students to download it regardless of skill level.

“Even if you’re the worst rapper or the best rapper, it’s always a lot of fun to mess around with,” Thiel said.

“Even if you’re just doing it to mess with people you’ll improve, and there’s no downside.”

WUNDERFUL

The cost of freedom

People should learn to apologize

MICHAEL HOMAN is a senior in liberal studies.

It has been reported that three gunmen opened fire inside the headquarters of the French publication Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday morning, killing ten journalists — including four founding cartoonists — and two police officers.

It is believed that the attack came as a result of a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad created by French cartoonist and editor Stéphane Charbonnier.

A satirical publication, Charlie Hebdo has a history of anti-religious rhetoric coupled with left-wing pluralism.

The weekly publication’s website was hacked and its office firebombed in 2011 after putting a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on its front page.

Speculation of who is responsible has been inconsistent, even after the gunmen were identified. However, it would be difficult to argue that this massacre had little to do with religious symbolism.

It should be quite obvious that not all those practicing the Islamic faith want death for those who offend their religious sensitivities. However, just because they don’t want to kill anyone doesn’t mean they aren’t offended either.

The Islamic faith has a long history of abhorring idolatry, which is essentially worshiping an idol or symbol instead of the actual teachings of a prophet or savior.

This concept is very difficult for Americans to grasp, because most of us have the mindset of being able to say whatever we want, whenever we want, with impunity. In the eyes of some, America is free to be insensitive towards others.

Of course, this religious sensitivity is on a gradient, what with the most extreme reaction ending the lives of others while those shaken the least walk it off and return to their daily lives like the rest of us.

And Charlie Hebdo is not the kind of publication to shy away from depictions of anyone. In 2011, the publication ran a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on their front page with the speech bubble reading, “100 lashes from the whip if you don’t die laughing.”

Arguments of tasteful humor aside, keep in mind; as far as these extremists are concerned, even a sketch drawing of Muhammad validates being put to death.

The three men responsible for the killings represent an angry and insecure sect deep inside the underbelly of Islamic faith — similar to the Westboro Baptist Church’s fixation with the principles of Calvinism here in America.

I make this comparison not to juxtapose the religious extremism of each sect but to emphasize how poorly representative these sects are of their — for lack of a better term — umbrella religions.

No one group is representative of an entire religious following.

This extremist group is truly an outlier of Islam.

Already leaders of the Muslim world have come forward to decry the events that took place in the offices of Charlie Hebdo, such as AlAzhar — the most prestigious Islamic school of Sunnism — and Dalil Boubakeur, the Head of the Great Mosque of Paris.

Editor-in-chief of the German satirical publication Titanic Tim Wolff expressed his sympathy to the staff of Charlie Hebdo, and calmly stated his philosophy on the matter in the aftermath of such a hateful crime.

Aborting America’s wants WE SAY: Senate prioritizing the wrong issues A new legislative session has begun for our federal government, and with it comes a new Republican Party majority in the Senate.

These men and women were given quite an interesting goal by majority leader Mitch McConnell during an interview with the Washington Post last month: “Don’t be ‘scary.’”

However, after five anti-abortion bills were proposed within a mere three days of the start of the session, party voices have made it clear that few punches will be pulled in the name of avoiding divisions.

One could make the argument that no other social issue has divided our nation in the way abortion has.

With both sides of the fence touting passionate human rights concerns as their top priority, progress one way or the other can often seem utterly impossible.

Apparently, the Republican Senate has no qualms about challenging this

status quo.

Ranging from the reintroduction of a ban on post-20-week abortions to a variety of restrictions on Planned Parenthood, these proposed bills reflect little of the economic, anti”Obamacare” platforms upon which most Republicans founded their recent campaigns.

Once elected, these leaders have immediately pushed bills of a different, more controversial and social nature.

The Editorial Board believes that instead of reigniting heated discussion on abortion, the Senate should have first taken time to propose bills addressing more immediate and decisive issues.

Abortion seems to have become a social issue where no particular party or movement can “win.”

Instead, small victories and concessions will continuously be made by both sides of the debate.

Passionate advocacy on behalf of a social issue can be a wonderful way to impact society.

However, the Senate must assess the needs and wishes of the public and prioritize their time in session. A personal agenda should be avoided.

Therefore, rather than continuing the endless tug-of-war that is abortion politics, our Senate should stimulate discussion on the economy, job security, environmental regulations and health care.

Americans deserve a dialogue that prioritizes these issues.

After all, they are largely the reason these senators were elected.

If Sen. McConnell truly hopes to win back favor for the Republican Party in the public’s eye, he should encourage support for legislation the voters have asked for.

Otherwise, his quest for newfound relevance for the party may not be as successful as he might hope.

NATALIE KNOWS

No wonder the show is called ‘Girls’ After returning home for winter break, my boredom set in instantaneously. I decided to go to the public library and rent a few books and DVDs. I came across season one of the HBO comedy “Girls,” starring Lena Dunham.

I was excited to see the show, as my friends had recommended it to me.

After binge-watching the first season in two evenings, I was honestly disgusted with the lead character, Hannah.

While the show itself was entertaining and clever, Hannah’s personality was — and I hate to be harsh — pathetic.

Hannah is an example of that sad, annoying girl who we can’t get rid of.

She is insecure because of her weight, but uses it as a crutch constantly.

She allows herself to develop feelings for Adam, a

man with whom she is having casual sex, but becomes frustrated and saddened upon discovery that the feelings may not be mutual.

She exudes confidence one day and then whines about her imperfections the next.

I can understand why Hannah may not be the most confident person in the world. However, she does absolutely nothing to change herself or become a better person.

In her eyes, she is always the victim. She is acting like a little girl, not a grown woman.

I constantly imagined myself pausing the scene and violently shaking her on the shoulders in attempt to shake some sense into her.

Hannah complains to her friends about Adam’s inconsistent or lack of communication, but never tries to get to know him in the

first place. She even admits her lack of interest in her friends’ issues, but expects them to be on call whenever she is upset.

She continually secondguesses herself and then wonders why she is so unhappy.

I think Hannah’s character is an extreme, dramatized version of many young women today.

Oftentimes, we forget about being a good friend when we are upset about some guy.

Sometimes when I overhear a conversation between two people, I can’t help but be disgusted by the frivolity and pettiness of their complaints.

If the lack of available elliptical machines at the gym was your biggest issue that day, then I can’t say I feel sorry for you.

Maybe there is something to be said about why Hannah is so irredeemable

NATALIE ROWTHORN is a junior in journalism.

and so unlikeable; we just have to be paying attention.

Hannah represents the worst of the worst that is within all of us.

We are selfish and often oblivious to what is happening around us.

People seem to set high standards for others, but quite low ones for themselves, just like Hannah. Maybe we need to be more self-aware and less self-absorbed.

While I have yet to see the next few seasons of “Girls,” I can only hope that Hannah’s character eventually grows out of her petty, “I’m the victim” attitude. I hope for the best. nrowthor@indiana.edu

Making mistakes are a part of everyday life.

None of us are perfect.

Therefore, it is only fair that apologies should be part of life as well.

But I suppose it is also possible that there is something peculiar about the prospect of apologies.

It seems that there is a specific time and place for them. We must apologize only if and when we feel it is necessary.

They are not often all equally effective either.

Let us consider the recent news of an elementary school that apologized for replacing a blind student’s cane with a pool noodle.

The idea itself already seems absurd.

Who would ever do such thing?

Yet, it actually happened in a primary school in North Kansas City.

The blind boy, Dakota Nafzginger, who was born without eyes, had his cane taken away from him. The school board confirmed taking away the 8-year-old boy’s cane.

He was instead given a pool noodle in its place.

According to the school, the cane was school property.

The reason for this was because he had reportedly hit another kid on the school bus.

Dakota’s parents reacted with distaste.

The school, although initially standing by their pool noodle decision, quickly issued an apology after Dakota’s story was aired on television.

Now, there seems to be something displeasing with the whole matter: the apology came at the wrong time.

Maybe in trickier situations, the mistake might be more understandable, but not this one.

It does not take a genius to figure out the consequences of depriving a blind child of his cane.

This is the kind of incident that should have never occurred in the first place.

It is cruel and unusual punishment.

And it is not the first time a school board has infringed upon a student’s rights.

And yet, it still took all this hassle for the school to come to their final realization.

There was no form of a discussion for why the boy struck another student with the cane in the first place.

All of this is a bit alarming, considering we’re talking about an institution that educates children.

Beyond mistreating the disabled, it’s clear that the school is also abusing the meaning behind genuinely apologizing for one’s mistake.

The school’s statement was obviously a tactic used only to stop further escalation of the news.

It remains questionable, however, whether they realize the extent of wrongness in their actions.

It suffices to say that while there has been an apology, little comfort is to be found.

Maybe this means it is not a time for apologies, but rather a re-examination of how schools and educational institutions should treat disabled children.

Schools must set examples for students in order for children to enter the world with a clear idea of how they should behave.

An accidental bump into another person is not reason to deprive a child of his only method of seeing, and further disgracing him by giving him a pool noodle in its place. nywu@indiana.edu

Plow drivers ready for ‘full call-out’ From IDS reports

For 900 ice and snow removal employees, “full callout” means an impromptu 24-hour work day.

The Indiana Department of Transportation and its subdistricts have issued a full call-out Sunday evening beginning at 4 p.m. Around 900 snow and ice removal vehicles will be out on Indiana’s 30,000 lane miles.

Weather forecasts predict large amounts of freezing rain in central and southern Indiana, moving into the evening, media contact Harry Maginity said.

“I would much rather see snow than ice,” Maginity said.

Students driving back to school tonight should try to be in by 6 p.m., especially if they will be passing through any of the Indianapolis area’s 120 snow routes, Maginity said.

“We will man all of those snow routes, wherever we are anticipating snow and ice,” Maginity said.

Full call-out decisions are made by each of the subdistricts. Bloomington’s subdistrict has 31 snow routes and decided Sunday evening to send out all of its vehicles.

Indiana general fund, sales, riverboat and “racino” tax collections for the month of December 2014 were above 2013’s revenue totals, according to the December 2014 revenue report released Friday.

The state general fund revenues for December were $1,319.1 million, a .1-percent increase from December 2013. Sales tax collections were $611.3 million, a 7.4-percent increase from 2013. Riverboat wagering collections were $30.9 million, a 6.3-percent increase from 2013, while racino - racing and casino - wagering collections totaled $8.6 million, a 6.4-percent increase from 2013, according to the report.

Individual income tax collections totaled $386.1 million for the month, a 10.7-percent decrease from 2013, while the $174.5 million in corporate tax collections had a .7-percent decrease from 2013.

However, according to the Indiana State Tax Revenue webpage, corporate tax dollars for fiscal year 2014 were the highest they have been since 2009 at $1,054,449,000.

Yearly totals for individual income tax dropped slightly, from $4.977 billion in 2013 to $4.899 billion in 2014.

Annual sales tax totals increased from $6.795 billion to $6.925 million, according to the report.

“Individual income tax collections through six months of fiscal year 2015 have grown by $122.5 million, 5.5 percent, during the same period a year ago but were $73.8 million, 3 percent, below the revised estimate year to date,” Budget Director Brian Bailey said in the report’s commentary.

State’s school grading system to change State gets manufacturing investment From IDS reports

The State Board of Education has changed the way it assigns letter grades to school corporations.

The modified A-F school accountability model is now designed to update methodology and metrics to include both academic proficiency and growth, first considering recommendations from the legislatively created A-F panel, according to a press release. Results will be based on annual statewide assessments, graduation rates and other criteria such as college and career readiness. Next, the Board will hold three public hearings across the state to receive input on the proposed rule language prior to its expected implementation in the fall of 2015.

“Today we are proposing the language that will go out for public comment,” Dr. David Freitas, District 2 SBOE member, said in a press release. “We have due diligence to really study this issue. We need to get the public’s feedback and move forward from there.”

The A-F grading system has seen its share of controversy. In 2012, Monroe County Community School Corporation administrators filed an appeal with the Indiana Department of Education regarding one school’s grade.

In the same year, Christel House Academy, a charter school in Indianapolis, was initially going to receive a C. Then, the administration of former State Superintendent Tony Bennett found a loophole for the high-performing school, according to the Associated Press. In 2013, Christel House received an F. The Indianapolis charter school dropped to a 71 percent passing rate, down from 81 percent in the previous year, according to data provided by the school.

The Strategic Planning Committee Chair Gordon Hendry reported the Board’s Balanced Scorecard is now fully prepared to track the state’s educational progress. Recommendations on the new teacher evaluation model will be presented to the Board in February.

Statewide input is currently being gathered from stakeholder meetings regarding teacher evaluations, according to the press release.

The Department of Education staff reported staff performance evaluation results for the 2013-14 school year. The Department reported that just 2 percent of more than 57,000 Indiana teachers were rated as ineffective.

For the first time, the DOE tracked school retention rates for educators. The state average was 81.61 percent. The data that showed retention rates directly correlate with A-F school grade as A schools retain over 86 percent while F schools retain just 64 percent of teachers, according to the press release.

DOE staff also updated the process regarding the NCLB waiver renewal due March 31, committing to provide a final draft of the waiver application to the Board on March 12, 2014, according to the press release.

Indiana was chosen this week by the U.S. Department of Energy to receive part of an investment for research, development and job creation in composite material technology.

The $70 million federal investment was designed to support automotive, defense, aerospace, motorsports, advanced materials and energy-related sectors, according to a release from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.

Composite materials are

created by combining different structural compounds of various materials to make a desired product.

“Composite materials are revolutionizing the manufacturing sector, especially in Indiana,” Indiana Secretary of Commerce Victor Smith said in a release.

Indiana is to receive $15 million from the investment, according to the release.

Businesses that are using composite materials for their products in the state include Dallara IndyCar Factory in Speedway, Ind., IDI Composites International in

Noblesville, Ind., and Toyota Indiana in Princeton, Ind. With the money, Purdue University will launch the Design, Modeling and Simulation Enabling Technology Center, one of five research centers created as part of the initiative, according to the release. Its research will focus on knowledge-transfer efforts.

“The advanced composite market is poised for dramatic growth,” Purdue President Mitch Daniels said in the release.

he said.

Since Alex went to college, Andres said he has felt lonely without him.

“It’s just a little more quiet in our house,” he said. “When we went places, I felt just a little more alone because I didn’t have my brother to talk to.”

His cousin Erinn Gallagher said she was happy to have Alex at IU. “I was so excited for him to be here and figure out his place at IU,” Gallagher said.

“I always loved when he would tell me about his first semester.”

Just before he came to IU, Alex drove a friend to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport to catch a flight. His friend’s father was paralyzed and couldn’t take him, so Alex drove him through Chicago traffic, an hour-and-ahalf long trip, to make sure he got there.

“I didn’t want him to do it,” Hill said. “But his friend didn’t have a way to get there and someone needed to do it.”

Alex’s one flaw was that he needed people too much and that he was sometimes loyal to a fault, Hill said.

“He stood by kids even if they weren’t the best,” Hill said. “He would be loyal to them and do things for them.”

The phone call about Alex’s accident came when Hill was at home. Getting Alex home had been a ball of confusion. Originally, she was going to pick him up Tuesday, Dec. 16, the day before he died, but he said he could save her the trip and get a ride with a friend.

Then, Wednesday night he called Hill asking if she could come pick him up, but due to work she couldn’t until the next day. He ended up finding someone new, who his mother didn’t know, to take him.

“This kid drove down a different road that they shouldn’t have been taking,” Hill said. “Alex just wanted to be home and that’s why he didn’t wait for me, and now I’m left with this horrible sense that I should’ve picked my kid up.”

Gallagher said she felt the same.

“He was just an 18-yearold kid who was anxious to get home after his first semester away,” Gallagher said.

“He was just coming home

into his own and having fun and he won’t get the chance to see where all that potential was going to take him.”

Hill is still waiting to hear back on the investigation of the accident and to retrieve Alex’s belongings that were in the car.

“I want his laptop so I can get into his hard drive,” Hill said. “He was writing a paper for class and I want to read it, you know.”

Even though the car ride turned into a tragedy, Hill said she is comforted knowing her son believed in Jesus Christ.

“God knew him and he knew God,” Hill said. “I have to keep going with that. That he was in God’s hands.”

Hill said she hopes her son is remembered as a great friend, a fun person and for his all-around good soul.

“He just wanted to get the enjoyment of life and he would always seek to be on the pleasant side,” Hill said.

“It was hard to break his spirit.”

In honor of Alex, the family has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for services and a memorial at gofundme.com/alexruesta.

BACK ON TRACK IU bounces back after two bad losses

By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu | @Brody_Miller_

Seventy-six points. That was the combined amount that the IU women’s basketball team lost by in its past two games against Purdue and Ohio State.

Neither game was ever particularly close. The Hoosiers fell to 1-3 in the Big Ten season with 14 games left. Sunday’s home game against a struggling Wisconsin team (6-9, 2-3) was going to be a big indicator of how the rest of the season would go.

“I told our kids this morning at shootaround we had to have some bounce back ability,” IU Coach Teri Moren said.

IU (12-4, 2-3) had that bounce back ability as it defeated

Wisconsin 69-52 Sunday in Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers gained the lead with 14:40 to go in the first half and never let go.

After those two blowout losses, Moren mentioned the team struggled to rally after missing a lot of shots early in the game. On Sunday, IU got going early, which Moren said made the difference.

“The way we roll is, when we hit some shots, it does something,” Moren said. “To say we were calm today, I think it had a lot to do with that we were in our groove.”

The Hoosiers got the ball inside from the start, and that led to them getting to the foul line and opening up more good looks. IU shot 12-of-13 from the line in the first SEE IU, PAGE 12

Brooks helps IU win despite sickness

By Grace Palmieri gpalmieri@indiana.edu | @grace_palmieri

Larryn Brooks looked pale. She was wiped out. She hadn’t been eating because she felt sick to her stomach. She had no energy.

The day before IU’s game against Wisconsin on Sunday, Brooks wasn’t sure if she’d be able to play at all.

She was sick during a 103-49 loss to Ohio State on Thursday and the flu-like symptoms she had weren’t going away.

But before the 2 p.m. tip, Brooks came in to talk to IU Coach Teri Moren. She looked the best she had in 48 hours, Moren said.

Brooks started the game on the bench, but finished with 11 points in 26 minutes, including 7-of-7

from the free-throw line in the Hoosiers’ 69-52 bounce-back win against the Badgers.

Moren said she knew if there was a way for her point guard to play, Brooks would find it.

“I designed a pretty intense practice (after Ohio State), and she wanted to be able to withstand it,” Moren said. “One thing about Larryn is she’s a competitor, and she wants to help her team win.”

In addition to Brooks’ sickness, sophomore guard Taylor Agler tweaked her ankle in practice Friday and was also kept out of the starting lineup.

Agler did not have the mobility she needed to contribute. She only played five minutes.

IU handles adversity in win

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

The stage was set for failure — again.

Eight possessions into IU’s 69-66 win against No. 22 Ohio State, the Hoosiers faced a 9-2 deficit and had turned the ball over five times. Junior forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea had picked up two fouls in 84 seconds and the Hoosiers were forced to play catchup in what would be the team’s first test.

They passed.

Fast-forward to the end of the game and IU Coach Tom Crean watched as a lead that was 10 points with 3:32 left evaporated to just one point with 32 seconds remaining.

IU’s (12-4, 2-1) cushion would fall to one point once again with eight seconds left and Ohio State (13-4, 2-2) with the ball. Just five days earlier, IU’s crumble in the face of adversity led to Crean calling out his team’s leadership.

The Hoosiers were

knocked down. They didn’t get up.

Saturday, with their backs against the wall, the Hoosiers thrived. D’Angelo Russell’s last-second attempt to tie fell short and IU held on for the three-point win in the team’s first conference test at home.

“It was a game where we held momentum a little bit longer and fortunately, that helped us,” Crean said. “It was a hard-fought victory.”

Despite a poor start that was eerily similar to IU’s 20-point blowout loss to Michigan State, freshman guard James Blackmon, Jr., said there was no panic on the Hoosier bench. When IU fell behind early, Blackmon said the team reverted back to practice, not the previous loss.

“At practice, really, we tried to get our edge back, our swagger back,” Blackmon said. “We just went so hard in practice and it happened tonight in the game.”

When Ohio State connected on a 3-pointer coming out of the halftime break to cut the lead in

half, IU held its ground and wouldn’t let the momentum of the game swing toward the Buckeyes’ favor, which Crean said was crucial.

When miscommunication between junior guard Yogi Ferrell and Blackmon led to a turnover and an Ohio State dunk in transition to bring the Buckeyes within a basket, the Hoosiers got a much-needed defensive stop. When the lead was once again cut to just two points just a few possessions later, Blackmon responded with a running layup across the lane to spark an 8-0 run.

He finished with a gamehigh 18 points, snapping out of what had been a bit of a scoring slump and providing IU with 16 second-half points.

But the key to the game, sophomore forward Troy Williams said, was on the other end of the court. He said it was the Hoosiers’ defense that made the difference as IU repeatedly created stops each time Ohio State closed in.

IU held Ohio State to just 34.3 percent shooting. The

IU 69, NO. 22 OHIO ST. 66 Points Blackmon, 18 Rebounds Williams, 12 Assists Williams, 3 Buckeyes shot just 3-of-21 from beyond the arc, and most importantly, didn’t convert late.

“Our defense is what changed the game,” Williams said.

Blackmon said there was never one moment where his team began to think about the previous loss to Michigan State. That loss is now in the rear view mirror.

In East Lansing, Mich., Crean questioned the mental toughness of his team.

That toughness was challenged in practice during the week. It was, at least for the moment, proven on the court Saturday at Assembly Hall. Now it’s a matter of moving forward — again.

“Can you play over your own distractions, your own disappointments and still keep going?” Crean said.

“That’s when you really know you’re getting mentally tough.”

Not even two months removed from a season-ending victory against Purdue, IU Coach Kevin Wilson held a team meeting Sunday to prepare for IU’s offseason practice.

The Hoosiers plan to take to the practice fields closer to spring break for camp, and when they do they’ll be with junior quarterback Nate Sudfeld, who missed the final six games of 2014 after undergoing surgery to repair a separated non-throwing shoulder in October.

Sudfeld will be held back in contact drills, but that’s not necessarily a major change considering quarterbacks don’t typically take hits during the spring.

“He’ll be limited,” Wilson said. “They’re not gonna be able to contact, but we don’t contact quarterbacks. There’s a point in time where it may be almost like they look like they always look because they have that blue (non-contact) jersey on.”

Sudfeld called Wilson last Thursday to tell him that he’s been working out as much as he can on his own and that he feels “OK.” Based on his rehab thus far, Wilson anticipates that Sudfeld will go through a modified routine in weight training, which he said could lead to an imbalance in his physical stature.

The good news for Sudfeld is that it doesn’t appear to be hindering his throwing motion much as he begins his rehab process.

As a sophomore splitting time at quarterback with former-Hoosier Tre Roberson, Sudfeld completed 194-of-322 of his passes for 2,523 yards and 21 touchdowns.

In less than six games last season, Sudfeld threw for 1,151 yards and six touchdowns.

“I think Nate’s already throwing some,” Wilson said.

“His issue is gonna be that on one side, he’s gonna be able to lift and do a lot, the other side he’s not with the development and the atrophy.”

Freshman backup quarterback Chris Covington, who underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL, is also expected to be available for practice. Wilson said Covington’s mobility and ability to make plays on

his feet may be limited for the time being.

Other than Sudfeld and Covington, sophomore lineman Jacob Bailey appears to be the only other player dealing with a significant injury.

Bailey will be limited throughout the spring with what Wilson said was a knee injury.

Wilson added that freshman running back Tommy Mister, who missed all of last season with a knee injury, is full-go moving forward.

UAB transfers arrive on campus Three former University of Alabama at Birmingham players have arrived in Bloomington to immediately join the team for practice.

Junior running back Jordan Howard, sophomore wide receiver Marqui Hawkins and freshman walkon wide receiver Kyree Hollis will all be looking to find roles on the team.

Wilson said there are no guarantees for either Howard or Hawkins to be starters, but both fill a void in the Hoosier lineup.

Howard, who rushed for 1,587 yards last season with UAB, appears to be a potential replacement for junior running back Tevin Coleman, who declared for the NFL draft earlier in December.

Both Hawkins and Howard will count against IU’s 25 available scholarships for 2015, which means IU has five more scholarships available, assuming all 18 verbal commitments sign on National Signing Day. IU’s 2015 class is ranked No. 6 in the Big Ten and is closing in on No. 5 Nebraska, and that ranking doesn’t include the two UAB transfers.

Before the class started to gain momentum just a few months ago, IU was ranked No. 13 out of 14.

Wilson said UAB’s offense was “very similar” to the types of things IU wants to run, which could help both Hawkins and Howard transition into the offense. Having said that, Wilson said both will need to earn their jobs.

“I will say this, they don’t have undue expectations,” Wilson said. “Let’s be real, to me you’ve got to earn these rights, earn the respect of your teammates and peers ... They do fill voids. It will be interesting to see how they take advantage of that.”

“What’ll we do about names,” was made by Mike Calway-Fagen and is composed of T-shirts, hangers, steel, wheels and other hardware. It is one part of the Grunwald Gallery’s newest exhibition: “Implied Action: Performance Through Object.”

New exhibition opens From IDS reports

The different stages of performance will be the focus of the Grunwald Gallery’s new exhibit.

The exhibit, opening Friday, Jan. 16, is entitled “Implied Action: Performance through Object” and will feature four visiting assistant professors from the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts at IU, according to a press release from Grunwald.

The exhibit will consist of art made of either found items or made objects that show the history, presence or potential of performance, according to the release.

The artists will include Carissa Carman for textiles, Mike Calway-Fagen for sculpture, Carrier Mae Smith in fundamentals and Keith Allyn Spencer, also in fundamentals, according to the release. All artists teach at IU’s studio art department.

Carman, currently a visiting assistant professor in tex-

tiles at IU, earned her MFA in fibers from Concordia University in Montreal. While studying at Concordia, she was a research assistant for SubTela at the Hexagram Institute, according to the release.

Studio SubTela focuses on developing intelligent cloth structures for “the creation of artistic, performative and functional textiles,” according to its website.

Calway-Fagen is based in Bloomington, as a curator, visual artist and writer. He received his MFA from the University of California in San Diego, according to the release.

He will contribute sculptures to the exhibit.

In addition to the Grunwald exhibit, Calway-Fagen has several solo shows coming up, which include shows at Soo Visual Arts Center in Minneapolis, and Ditch Projects in Portland, Ore. Smith, who is one of two in fundamentals for the show, received her MFA in sculpture at the University of Delaware.

Her work takes a look at disregarded histories and utilitarian forms, according to the release.

She has just completed a residency at Recycled Artist in Residence (RAIR) in Pennsylvania, according to the release.

RAIR is a waste recycling facility in Philadelphia that focuses using art and design to create awareness about sustainability issues, according to its website. Smith spent six weeks at RAIR and built a body of work for her exhibition “Robinsonaden” at the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym gallery, which was featured June 2014.

Spencer, the second in fundamentals for the show, also resides in Bloomington.

He will soon also have a solo exhibition at Dragon Express in Bloomington.

The exhibit is curated by Grunwald’s Public Relations Coordinator Marla Roddy.

The 57th Grammy Awards will feature several IU alumni and faculty.

Several graduates and faculty members from the Jacobs School of Music were nominated for Grammy awards, according to a press release by the music school.

IU alumnus and double bass player Edgar Meyer was nominated for two awards.

He is nominated for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for his recording with mandolinist Christ Thile, “Bass & Mandolin.”

Meyer is also nominated for the Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, according to the Jacobs School of Music release.

In Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, Meyer is up against fellow IU alumnus Booker T. Jones.

Jones is up for his contribution to Mindi Abair’s “Wild Heart” release, where he played the organ.

Jacobs School Jazz Studies Department alumni also took several nomination slots.

Trumpeter Chris Botti is up for Best Vocal Jazz Album for “Map to the Treasure: Reimagining Laura Nyro” by Billy Childs and various art-

The Cardinal Stage Company will offer an acting master class, entitled “Setting the Scene: A Master Class in Scene Study.” The master class is set to run Jan. 31 through Feb. 8.

This is the second time it will be offered and taught by Randy White, founder and artistic director of the Cardinal Stage Company.

“It’s going to be very similar,” White said. “The basic purpose is that I’m focusing on three things: developing character, motivating each line with a purpose and dramatic scene as the basic unit of theater.”

IU freshman and theater major Audie Deinlein, who took the class the first time it was offered in June 2013, said she was surprised by how much she learned in the course.

“The class really enlightened me in how a lot of things can really be found in the details of the work,” Deinlein said. “We were able to take apart (each scene) and look at it section by section and understand the objective and motive in how characters work in the scene to accomplish what they want to by the end of it.”

While it was previously only offered to teenagers, the upcoming class is open only to those 13 years and older, White said.

“I want to have a mix of some teen and adults to have some scenes with the experience of the adults and enthusiasm of the kids,” White said.

Deinlein said the encouraging environment White instilled during the course allowed her to feel comfortable to try new things, even

though she felt she didn’t have a lot of acting experience before she took the class.

“Because we had some people who have been working in community theater and high school that had taken acting classes, they were able to go a lot further than I was able to,” Deinlein said. “Although, no one ever felt left behind or anything because it was very ‘go at your own pace.’”

White said he would accommodate his teaching practices to the different levels of experience of his students, however he said he still recommends some prior acting experience in his students for the upcoming class.

The class is over a period of eight days, and is concentrated with a focused approach in developing tools in acting, White said.

“A lot of the acting classes here in town either through Ivy Tech, IU, or even through programs in town are over much longer periods of time, so this is for folks who just want to have a short, intense hit,” White said.

At the end of the course, White said the students invite family and friends to a final showcase to share what they learned throughout the class.

“It was pretty informal but at the same time very good to experience because we were able to use so many real life objects to portray to the audience,” Deinlein said. “We had costumes that were relevant to its time period, and Cardinal had a large set that we used. That was really helpful because it kind of gave you a real life setting that you could put it in.”

From IDS reports

Daniel Bolshoy earned his Doctor of Musical Arts from the Jacobs School of Music in 2006.

He is set to return to campus at 8 p.m. Tuesday for a Doctoral Concert in Auer Hall.

During his time on campus, he acted as an associate instructor at IU and taught courses in gui-

tar history and literature, guitar pedagogy, as well as class guitar, chamber music ensembles and taught undergraduate performance majors, according to his website.

Bolshoy is currently the head of the Classical Guitar Division at the University of British Columbia School of Music, according to the Jacobs School of Music.

Tuesday’s concert is the

next in a series of performances featuring graduated Jacobs School of Music Doctoral students.

Upcoming performers set to take stage this month will be Christopher Grundy, baritone, Aaron Vandermeer on the trumpet, Robert Waugh also on the trumpet and Tai-Hsuan Lee on the piano.

Several Jacobs Jazz nominees are on multiple Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album recordings.

Nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media are Jerry Hey on horn arrangements and Andrew Hey for the engineerng and mixing of “Get On Up: The James Brown Story,” according to the release.

Recording arts alumnus David Miles Huber is nominated for the Best Surround Sound Album award for his engineering and producing of “Chamberland: The Berlin Remixes.”

Opera tenor Lawrence Brownlee is nominated for the Best Classical Solo Vocal Album category for his “Virtuoso Rossini Arias,” while pianist Cory Smythe is nominated for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance for “In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores,” according to the release.

Two Jacobs alumni are competing against each other for Best Opera Recording category.

Tenor Aaron Sheehan is up for “Charpentier: La Descente D’Orphée Aux

Looking to enroll?

Enrollment for the class ends Jan. 21 and costs $400. There is an 18-student maximum, so previous experience will be considered at the director’s discretion. Registration information can be found at cardinalstage.org.

White said he feels the final showcase is a very important aspect of the class.

This is the case because it allows the student actors to receive feedback about what they’ve learned.

“I firmly believe that an audience is very much a part of any scene that you’re playing,” White said. “It’s not something that you just do in front of an audience, it’s something that you do with an audience.”

Deinlein said White’s excited attitude and encouraging teaching techniques helped her grow and develop as an actress.

“A big thing is the confidence performing in front of people,” Deinlein said.

“When you feel like you’re able to take away something from a class and put that into a performance, it makes you feel a lot more confident on stage and to know that you can portray something to an audience.”

From his directing and teaching experience at the Cardinal Stage Company, White said he finds teaching rewarding.

“It’s a chance to add something to the community, and that’s why we started this whole program of master classes,” White said. “We want to be giving people of all ages the opportunity to just learn and grow as theater people, and I’m thrilled to be a part of that.”

COOKING SIMPLE

Chicken tortilla soup for the soul ALLISON WAGNER is a sophomore in journalism.

A good soup can be like, or better than, a warm blanket or a boyfriend. Soup is just as cuddly but requires less commitment than either washing the blanket or being in a relationship.

Soup is a meal that pairs great with just about anything. Pair it with a salad or small sandwich for a light combination or enjoy it at the start of a meal as an appetizer. Soup is even great to make when you have an array of random ingredients that could be put together.

When the weather gets extremely cold, people tend to enjoy more of this liquid combination. Many people choose chili. However, I prefer chicken tortilla soup. The

Chicken tortilla soup is a simple recipe to make on a cold winter day.

combination of spice and cheesy, creamy deliciousness warms the body and fills the soul and cuddle needs.

The amazing combination is the perfect cold weather treat.

This recipe offers a simple way to make this fa-

vorite. It is a cross-over between chicken tortilla and chicken enchilada soup, but whatever you prefer to call it, it’s an easy way to produce the same results of a great meal. allmwagn@indiana.edu

Chicken Tortilla Soup Ingredients 1 can fiesta nacho soup (or Campbell’s cheddar cheese soup) 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes (mild, medium, or hot) 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 or 2 cups diced chicken breast 1 can chicken broth 1 cup chunky salsa 1 cup sour cream ½ cup colby jack shredded cheese

Directions Once you have all of your ingredients, all you need to do is combine them into a large pot or a crock pot. A crock pot is an easier choice for simmering the soup.

It will take around 3-4 hours. Using a large stove pot does the same work but will require you to watch the contents more often than you would using the crock pot.

Simmer the soup, continuously stirring,

Lotus awarded $30,000 grant From IDS reports

Jane Chu, the chairman for the National Endowment for the Arts, announced in December that the Lotus Education and Arts Foundation will be one of 919 nonprofit organizations nationwide to receive an NEA Art Works grant, according to a Lotus Education & Arts Foundation press release.

“I’m pleased to be able to share the news of our support through Art Works, including the award to Lotus,” Chu said in the release. “The arts foster value, connection, creativity and innovation for the American people and these recommended grants demonstrate those attributes and affirm that the arts are part of our everyday lives.”

This will be the seventh time the organization receives the $30,000 award since 2008.

“What the Lotus Festival brings Bloomington is an opportunity through visual arts, music and dance to celebrate the power of the individual and the collaborative in helping shape communities for the better,” Miah Michaelsen, the City of Bloomington’s assistant economic development director for the arts, said in the release.

More than $75 million in funding was requested by 1,474 entities, according to the release.

The NEA has six grants available that are divided into two different groups, grants for organizations and grants for individuals, according to its website.

“Funding from the NEA recognizes that the Lotus mission and Festival have value on a national level, as well as here in our local community,” Sunni Fass, Lotus executive director said in the budget to hold onto what you have.

TRACK AND FIELD

IU holds intrasquad scrimmage

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @trlehman_IU

IU men’s and women’s track and field athletes competed against each other Friday, Jan. 9, in a friendly exhibition one week before they face off in their indoor opener against Purdue on Jan. 17.

The Crimson team claimed victory over the Black, Cream and Gray teams, respectively, as determined by the performance-based International Association of Athletics Federation scoring table.

Highlighting the Crimson performers were sophomore Tre’tez Kinnaird, who claimed the 500-meter dash, as well as the Crimson 3,200-meter relay team, which finished first of the four teams, and freshman Brenna Calder, who claimed second place in the women’s 1,000-meter run.

In total, the Crimson team finished in first place in two events and second place in eight events.

Kinnaird, co-captain of the Crimson team, said a meet between teammates is even more competitive than one between different teams.

“We really push each other to do better and to achieve our goals,” Kinnaird said. “We like to see everyone run personal bests, and I think this meet shows that our training is paying off before we head into the indoor season.”

The Black team won six events, while the Cream team claimed seven events, led by senior Ro-

rey Hunter in the men’s 2000-meter run and senior Shawntanay Johnson in the women’s 60-meter dash.

The Gray team finished first place in three events, including freshman Kyle DuVall in the men’s 1,000-meter run and freshman Zach Reitzug in the men’s 300-meter dash.

IU Coach Ron Helmer, who has been coaching IU track and field since 2007, likes to see the athletes enjoy themselves.

“There’s a lot of competition here, and we had kids run personal records today,” Helmer said. “It was really great to see the success that came from the training over break.

Helmer noted that the fact that the Crimson team won does not mean much to him.

Although, he said what means the most to him coming out of this meet is knowing what kind of competitors he has on the track every weekend.

He also said that competing with their teammates teaches them a lot about themselves, as well the competitors he has on the team.

The meet ended with a presentation given by former IU sprinter and 2013 IU Athletics Hall of Fame inductee Mike Goodrich.

After recounting his experiences and his career at IU, he reflected upon teammate competition.

“Competing head-tohead with teammates respectfully will not only make you a better track athlete, but a better person as well,” Goodrich said.

» IU

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 half as they took a 43-30 lead at halftime.

Moren and sophomore Alexis Gassion both said there was a lack of effort and hunger against Ohio State and Purdue. Players would let up on fast break defense and teams ran all over them.

“Looking back, what disheartened me the most was our effort, our body language at times and kind of giving in to defeat,” Moren said. “That’s not going to be us.”

That was not the story against Wisconsin.

IU forced 21 turnovers and allowed only six fast break points.

There was a balance on offense for IU. The ball was moving around and everyone was getting looks.

Seven players had between seven and 11 points, and nobody had more.

It was an offense by committee.

Because sophomore point guard Larryn Brooks didn’t start due to flu-like symptoms throughout

the week, freshman guard Tyra Buss took the reigns at point and had 11 points to go with five assists.

Buss credited the team’s ball control as a key factor in the win. They had only two turnovers in the entire first half.

Sophomore guard Taylor Agler also did not start Sunday, as she twisted her ankle during the week and was unavailable to play.

Sophomore Alexis Gassion stepped in and collected 16 rebounds in her first start of the season.

Moren was happy with how the team stayed together and stayed resilient through the losses and the injuries.

In the past four games, IU has beaten Michigan State by 19, had two consecutive blowout losses and then beat Wisconsin by 17 Sunday. There seems to be no in-between for the Hoosiers. It has been either dominate or get dominated.

“This is a young basketball team,” Moren said.

“And one of the things with young teams is we are going to be unpredictable.”

RECREATIONAL SPORTS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 It was the first time all season the lineup has been shaken up. An alreadyyoung starting group got even younger. Freshman Jess Walter and sophomore guard Alexis Gassion got their first starts of the year.

Despite the changes, it was as if nothing was out of place.

Moren was proud of the way her young team responded to adversity, and how Gassion, who had 16 rebounds, and Walter, who scored 11 points, stepped up.

Freshman Tyra Buss took Brooks’ spot at point guard, something she said took little adjusting to after playing the position most of her life.

But when Buss got in foul trouble — and eventually fouled out with 5:21 left in the game — Brooks was the one who had to step up.

“We don’t really have a lot of true point guards and, with me getting in foul trouble, Larryn really had to push through her sickness,” Buss said. “I’m really proud of her for playing good

minutes today and playing hard.”

Buss, Brooks, Walter and freshman Amanda Cahill each finished with 11 points.

Buss also had five assists.

Defensively, IU went back to playing more manto-man than it has since Big Ten season started.

Moren said what’s been hurting most in the past few games is her team’s transition defense, which can become more difficult when it’s falling back into a zone.

The Hoosiers allowed 189 points in their last two games combined. They held Wisconsin to just 52 on Sunday.

But that wasn’t because of any plays or defenses that can be drawn up, Moren said. In the loss to Ohio State, she didn’t see the effort she wanted from her team.

Sunday, she did.

“We’re going to have some games where we fall short,” she said. “But it’s not going to be because we lack the effort, we lack the heart, we lack the determination or the fight that you have to have to win basketball games at this level.”
