'There’s deﬁnitely a sense of urgency.' IU men’s basketball searches for remedy to season-long woes By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

Of all the storylines and subplots that have filled the IU men’s basketball season, it's the concept of urgency that has been a continuous theme for the Hoosiers. During nonconference play, the urgency came in the form of spotting lesser teams' early leads in games, forcing the Hoosiers to use more energy and play starters like senior forward Juwan Morgan for more minutes. In Big Ten play, the same sluggish starts have often plagued IU, but Head Coach Archie Miller and his team have been unable to overcome the early deficits. Thus, as has been the case since November, the urgency with which IU plays to start games remains an on-court concern with few off-court answers. “We’re just flat-footed, and we let the other team hit us first before hitting them,” freshman guard Romeo Langford said. “It’s been a common theme throughout the season, us starting off slow, but we’re still working every day to get better, be better than we were the last game.” Langford was spot-on with his assessment of IU’s season-long struggles in the opening minutes of games. IU has trailed at the under-12 media timeout in half of its 24 games this season. In those 12 games, IU has a 5-7 record, but six of the losses have come in 2019 in the midst of a disastrous conference season for the Hoosiers. Last week’s home losses to then-No. 20 Iowa and Ohio State both fell in that

Freshman Avery Anderson sat soaked from the rain in her Ballantine lecture hall Feb. 7, preparing for her first Intro to American Politics exam. But shortly before 1 p.m., when the class was supposed to start, she got a Canvas notification from her professor about a tornado warning. “Take shelter,” it read. Class was cancelled. IU issued a tornado warning last week to all students, staff and faculty. Although it only lasted about 20 minutes, it still disrupted the rhythm on campus. But for Anderson, the tornado warning had expired by the time the class would have begun. Anderson decided to walk over to the Indiana Memorial Union to wait for her roommate to go home. “When we get warnings, it doesn’t really bother me,” she said. The university issues severe weather notifications based off of warnings from the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, according to an IU-Notify email. Sometimes the warnings indicate an immediate threat, and sometimes they do not. Cody Kirkpatrick, IU lecturer in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, said the science of tornado warnings is imperfect. About seven out of ten tornado warnings issued by the National Weather Service are false alarms, according to the Weather Channel. Kirkpatrick has a history of disagreeing with IU’s severe weather alert system. This time he said the university issued the warning correctly. Yet Bloomington was never necessarily in any danger. At first it looked like the city was in the path of the storm, he said. But after about 10 minutes, the radar showed the storm moving well away the city. “We could have gotten people back to their daily routine a little bit faster,” he said. Regardless of whether the warning indicates a real threat, Kirkpatrick said professors should keep class in session instead of cancelling. Otherwise, students are bound to leave the building and walk around outdoors. “Am I about to turn my 100 students out into the wild to walk from here to Kilroy’s with a tornado poten-

category. “Yeah, it was a hard week for us, make no mistake about it,” Miller said Monday night during his weekly radio show, “Inside IU Basketball.” “Had a chance to win both games but just weren’t good enough in certain areas over the course of the game or at the end of the game being able to finish it properly.” As IU’s poor starts to games have continued, the focus has shifted for Miller to end-of-game situations. Four of the Hoosiers’ last five losses have come by single digits, leading Miller to want better execution from his team in the closing minutes of games. The most direct result of IU failing to heed this urgency, both at the start and end of games, is the predicament the Hoosiers face with seven regular season games to go. IU’s 13-11 overall record, in par-

ticular the 4-9 mark in conference games, has the Hoosiers on the fringes of the discussion to be included in the NCAA Tournament. The next stretch of games for the team presents a chance for it to either play itself back into, or completely out of, the postseason picture for college basketball’s premier tournament. This week’s Associated Press Top 25 poll features four of IU’s next five opponents, with three of those games taking place at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. IU’s four-game home losing streak has decreased any kind of intimidation factor Assembly Hall might have had this season, but the next three weeks provide IU with opportunities to restore potential to this once promising season. “I think there’s definitely a sense of urgency starting everything that we do,” junior guard Devonte Green said. “Starting and finishing the same way.”

State of the Black Community offers solutions By Kaitlin Edquist kedquist@iu.edu | @kaitlinedquist

Bloomington leaders examined issues facing the Monroe County black population during a State of the Black Community address Tuesday at City Hall. The Bloomington Black Strategic Alliance partnered with the city’s Black History Month Committee to organize the event. William Hosea, president of the Monroe County Black Democratic Caucus, said the address began in 2018 to give the black community insight on where they are and where they are headed. “We need to know this information so that some of the community groups will know where we can best focus our resources and our efforts,” he said. Each speaker provided testimony of ways the black community has been affected by Monroe County in the past year. They offered possible solutions to create a better environment. Following the speakers, members of the community asked questions and voiced additional concerns. Hosea spoke about local housing and jobs with data from the Census Bureau and the Bloomington Housing Au-

thority. He compared county demographic employment data, too. He said the unemployment rate is higher in the black community than for any other race in Monroe County. William Morris, an attor-

ney with Indiana Legal Services, Inc., assessed the black community’s relationship with the criminal justice system. He said 15.3 percent of marijuana charges and 15.8 percent of theft and conver-

sion charges in 2017 were filed against black individuals, even though they make up 3.6 percent of the county’s population, according to reports from the Monroe County Branch of the National Association for the

Advancement of Colored People and the Racial Justice Task Force of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington. Stephanie Power-Carter, associate professor of AfricanAmerican and African Dias-

pora Studies in IU’s School of Education, discussed challenges facing the black population in the Monroe County Community School Corporation. She explained ways MCCSC worked to address those challenges in 2018, including communication with parents, curriculum guidance and professional development among staff. She also recognized ways local organizations are helping the young black community through homework help, after-school care and scholarships. Students from Bloomington schools shared their experiences in MCCSC, noting both positives and negatives within the school system. They said they appreciate faculty support toward minority students and diversity-related education offered at the high school levels, but they hope for more black teachers in the schools and more discipline against those who make racial slurs. Power-Carter finished by urging both students and community members to get involved in local and educational programs. “Each of us has an opportunity to make a difference,” she said.

Andrew Guenther is 24, gay, and the only Republican running so far for Bloomington City Council. The IU law and public policy graduate was a Democrat for years. He switched parties in 2015 after taking classes for his major and realizing his values did not fully align with the Democratic party. He said he believes simple, local government works best and should have more power than the federal government. “I’m a local-government Republican,” Guenther, who would represent District 2, said. Guenther, chair of the city’s Environmental Commission, said he enjoys working in the city government. Despite that, he thinks the city council passes too many plans that don’t have a lot of public support. He said he thinks the pending transportation plan that is currently being amended by the city council will not be amended enough when it is passed. Guenther is worried the plan will cause traffic backups, more air pollution and bad runoff in his district. District 2 includes IU’s Central Neighborhood, houses along Jordan and North Jordan avenues and many student housing complexes near the stadium. Guenther said he wants to incentivize affordable student housing and work with

nonprofits to provide more single-family affordable housing in Bloomington. “I think it’s not a question of either or, I think it can be both,” Guenther said. Guenther does not support the Food and Beverage Tax implemented February 2018 which places a 1 percent tax on all prepared food and beverages in Bloomington. The revenue from this tax is going to the Monroe Convention Center expansion. “The students are paying for it, and how often are they going to use the convention center?” said William Ellis, Monroe County Republican Party chair. “I think Guenther will bring a

balanced view to this.” Guenther said he has gotten criticism from what he called traditional Democrats in Bloomington for being a Republican despite not supporting some Republican-led policies such as weakening environmental regulations. Ellis said he thinks the criticism is ridiculous because Guenther isn’t involved with national politics. “Andrew is not running for Congress, he’s not running for president, he’s running for Bloomington city council,” Ellis said. “If someone’s not worried about things at home, that’s when things go bad.”

Guenther has lived in Bloomington since 2013 when he started school at IU. During his time here, he has worked in a variety of local government positions. Guenther said he is planning to meet with students in all areas of his district to discuss what they think about living in Bloomington and the kind improvements they think the city needs. “People hear Republican, and they think I don’t care about affordable housing or I don’t care about the environment, but that’s not true,” Guenther said. “I just think those things can be better managed on a local level as opposed to a topdown approach.”

Chi Phi fraternity returns to campus By Christine Stephenson cistephe@iu.edu | @cistephenson23

A new fraternity is circling its way back to IU. Chi Phi is a national fraternity with more than 50 chapters spread throughout the country. Students at IU founded the Iota Delta chapter in 1958 but disbanded in the late 2000s due to a lack of interest and financial troubles. “They got down to about ten or fifteen guys and just called it quits,” said Chris Fernandez, a Chi Phi National Office consultant at IU. Now, after being gone for about ten years, Chi Phi is making its return. Until early March, Fernandez will be spending his days talking to undergraduate men around campus and recruiting new fraternity members. For now, the brothers will be part of a colony until they go through the accreditation process to become a chapter, which will ideally take about three semesters. Fernandez said about six

men have joined so far, but dozens have shown interest. Some are waiting for grade checks, which must comply with the university’s standard of a 2.8 GPA to be eligible. Instead of normal fraternity rush, which took place a few weeks ago, Chi Phi is taking a different route. Fernandez and another recruiter from Chi Phi nationals, Jason Santiago, are reaching out to both greek and non-greek organizations to get recommendations on who might like to join the fraternity. Then they will meet with the recommended men one-on-one and talk about what they want to get out of their college experience. “It’s a bit unorthodox,” Santiago said. “It’s very personalized.” Santiago said they are not looking for any specific type of man to join but rather anyone curious about greek life. Fernandez said they are looking for men who are interested in professional and

leadership development in addition to the sense of belonging that each fraternity provides. “We want people who are driven to see and make change in their community,” he said. To help with professional development, Fernandez said the fraternity’s alumni will play an important role in helping the men get the careers they want. Jeremiah White, who joined Chi Phi in 1999 and graduated in 2004, said he might not be happy with his career in financial services now if he did get involved with greek life at IU. “I give the fraternity all the credit in the world for my career development,” he said. “I wouldn’t be where I am now without it.” When White was at IU, Chi Phi lived in a house at 1400 N. Jordan Ave. Now, as the fraternity adds new members, getting a house is not part of the plan. “Sometimes a chapter house can be a distraction from your real purpose,”

White said. Without a house, Fernandez said the group will still be able to build a sense of brotherhood. Instead, members will be able to focus on exemplifying the fraternity’s three core values: truth, honor and personal integrity. White said the values can be hard to understand in the abstract. But for him, it comes down to just being a good person. “It’s simple stuff in life that a lot of people forget,” he said. “You know, say ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ hold the door open for someone for a little longer, things like that.” Fernandez said he and Santiago are hoping to recruit more than 50 members by March and start the process of becoming a chapter. “It’ll be special to come back 30 to 40 years from now and say, ‘I started that,’” Fernandez said. Fernandez said Chi Phi is mostly recruiting through its Instagram, Chi Phi at IU Bloomington, which has a referral link in the bio.

Jill Lees, Plainfield Police Department deputy chief of support, has been working at Plainfield PD for 23 years, but in March she will become IU Police Department’s new chief of police. She said she decided to become a police officer after a high school teacher recommended she go to the Indiana State Police Career Camp. At the camp, she said, an IUPD officer gave a presentation about the IU Police Academy, which cemented her plans. “I knew then that that’s what I wanted to do,” she said. “I wanted to be a police officer, but I also wanted to go to Indiana University.” She graduated from the IU Police Academy in 1994, graduated from IU with a criminal justice degree in 1995 and was sworn in at Plainfield Police Department on May 15, 1995. She said she feels she has done everything Plainfield PD has to offer and will take what she has learned in her years to her new position. She taught the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, participated in Coffee with a Cop events and taught self-defense classes. She said initiatives like these help build relationships with the community and work to prevent crime. She said she plans to bring this community involvement to IU. The IUPD chief of police position opened at just the right time for Lees. “I always said when my son graduated from high school I’d really like to go back and work in Bloomington at IU,” she said. Her son will graduate high school in three months. Former IUPD chief Laury Flint will be moving to the

role of IU Public Safety and Institutional Assurance’s first di- Jill Lees rector of threat assessment and engagement. Flint said moving onto a new role was a hard decision for her because she has been with IUPD for about 36 years. Like Lees, she graduated from IU’s Police Academy program. “This late in my career, it might seem crazy to take on something I consider such a monumental task,” Flint said, “But I think I’m up to the challenge.” When searching for someone to replace Flint, Associate Vice President for Public Safety and Institutional Assurance and Superintendent for Public Safety Benjamin Hunter said he wanted someone to continue the community engagement IUPD is already doing. “I was looking to continue that strong presence with community engagement that we have with Chief Flint,” he said. “Making sure we have an individual that could come in and build those relationships with faculty, staff and students.” Hunter said Lees received high praise at the public forums, which showed she was good for the job. “Jill definitely stood out,” said Flint, who was a cochair of the search committee. “She’s going to bring a lot to the department.” Lees said she is excited to take on the new role and wants to make sure people know she is available for people in the IU community. “I always am a welcoming face,” she said. “I’m always somebody that is very approachable and I’m someone you know will listen.”

Lawsuit challenges RFRA ‘ﬁx’ Bloomington By Sydney Tomlinson sydtomli@iu.edu | @sydpt

A lawsuit claiming Indiana state and city laws aimed at protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination violate the First Amendment is set to be decided in August by a Hamilton County judge. In 2015, Indiana passed — and quickly amended — the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to increase protections for the free exercise of religion. Amidst national criticism that the he law would allow discrimiination against the LGBTQ Q community, a second bill ll was passed a week later that at prohibits businesses and d individuals from refusing ng goods or services to people le based on sexual orientation, n, gender identity or other reaasons. Three nonprofit orgaanizations that advocate for or marriage between men n and women filed a lawsuit it in 2015 claiming the RFRA A amendment, as well as huuman rights ordinances in n four Indiana cities, violated the First Amendment right to free exercise of religion. Jim Bopp Jr., one of the attorneys representing thee Indiana Family Institute, Inn-

diana Family Action and the American Family Association of Indiana, said these laws are discriminating against people who believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. “The state law now discriminates against people of faith with traditional views on marriage by exempting them from legal protections,” Bopp said. “We think that violates the First Amendment which requires the government to treat all religious viewpoints equally.” The lawsuit names Bloomington, Indianapolis, Carmel and Columbus, Indiana, and claims all four cities have human rights ordinances that explicitly protect people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. “The City of Bloomington has a

very proud, long history of protecting all individuals within our city limits,” said Larry Allen, an attorney for the City of Bloomington. Bopp said the city ordinances are requiring people to participate in same-sex marriages, by officiating the wedding ceremony or baking a wedding cake for example, even if they oppose same-sex marriage because of their religious beliefs. Bopp said he doesn’t think people seeking samesex marriages would be harmed by changes to these laws because there are people who can participate in those weddings without violating their religious beliefs. Shortly after RFRA was

amended, the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana released a statement applauding the changes but encouraging more protections for the LGBTQ community. “Religious freedom is one of our founding principles as a nation, and no one would argue that it should be limited,” the organization said in the statement. “That does not mean, however, that it should be used as a weapon against others.” The organizations filing the suit also claim the these laws hurt their ability to advocate for their religio religious views by holding conferen conferences and events, Bopp sa said. He said with these law laws, the organizations would wou be required to let people in favor of same-sex marria marriage speak at a conference, for example. “The question now is, are we going to have a so society in which everyeve one can llive or are we going to have govg e r n m e n timposed orthodoxy,” orthodox Bopp said. said

IU Cadet Program teaching since 1972 By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

IU Police Department Cadet Jasmyn Bell, junior, became interested in law enforcement in middle school from watching TV shows like “Criminal Minds.” Cadet Patrick Hash, senior, was in the Navy Military Police and wanted to continue serving after leaving. Both are members of the IU Cadet Officer Program. After two semesters as cadets, Bell and Hash will enter the IU Police Academy, which started in 1972. They will be certified police officers for IUPD upon completion of that summer program, and will then work for IUPD part time. Applications for the Fall 2019 Cadet Officer Program close Feb 28. IUPD Sgt. James Snyder said last year there were 72 applicants, and 40 were selected. “Through the program you can learn at lot more hands on, real world experiences as opposed to

what you can read in a text book,” Hash said. Cadets often work security for sporting events. After they graduate the academy, they can start working part time for IUPD as police officers. They patrol places like IU’s residence halls and have the power to arrest people. Hash and Bell are both criminal justice majors. They balance their school time with shifts. “First and foremost, they are IU students and we understand that,” IUPD Maj.

Stephen Luce said. Students in the program are able to set their own schedules around their classes, choose how many hours they want and have other members take their shifts if they need to. There are physical tests about every two months, which are required by the state of Indiana, Snyder said. “I used to be really lazy and weak, but I’ve definitely gained some muscles,” Bell said. Both Luce and Snyder graduated from the cadet

program themselves as did the vast majority of officers at IUPD, Snyder said. Luce came to IU to play football and then joined the program. He was in the program in 2006. Snyder graduated in 1987 and was working full-time for IUPD 3 months later. “I came to IU for school and never left,” Snyder said. Hash hopes to continue onto a similar path as Snyder and join IUPD. Bell wants to work for the FBI. The placement rate of students into a professional job after the program is high, Luce said. “The value is down the road,” he said. “Right now it is what it is, but you’re getting in valuable training and experience now that most people don’t get in their career until they’ve been on for several years.” Bell and Hush said they have seen benefits of the program. “It helps you decide whether this lifestyle or this field of work is actually for you or not,” Bell said.

activist running for city council By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang

Vauhxx Booker has often stood at the city council public podium, speaking out against city decisions. Now, Booker wants to be on the decisionmaking side of the room. Booker, 35, is running for one of three Bloomington City Council at-large seats. He said social equity will be the driving theme of his campaign with much of his focus on affordable housing and representing underrepresented communities. He said he thinks there is a divide between marginalized groups and the rest of Bloomington. “I think Bloomington is often a tale of two cities,” Booker said. Booker has lived in Bloomington since 2011 and has worked as a rehabilitation specialist for people dealing with mental illnesses, struggling with addiction and experiencing homelessness. He also managed Friend’s Place, an emergency homeless shelter on South Rogers Street. He said the issues people faced in the places he worked often overlapped. “We need to not look at homelessness or the housing crisis or the opioid crisis as separate events,” Booker said. “We need to see them together.” Booker said his experience with marginalized populations, such as the homeless and those recovering from addiction, has shown him anyone can end up in a situation they’d never thought they’d be in. One of the people Booker worked with in his time as a rehabilitation specialist was Jim Ohrt’s mother. Ohrt, a local IT specialist and IU alumnus, said his mother got out of the psychiatric hospital around 2013 and stayed in the transitional care center where Booker worked. Ohrt, now friends with Booker, said Booker helped his mother move into an apartment after her stay at the care center. “That made an impression,” Ohrt said. “He was willing to put so much into taking care of my mom when no one else would or could.” Booker, a member of Monroe County’s Affordable Housing Advisory Commission, said he sees housing as a human right. As a renter, Booker said he thinks his experience is different than

council members who own homes. One of Booker’s roommates Kris Roehling said she t h i n k s having a re n t e r ’s voice on the city coun- Vauhxx cil would Booker bring a powerful perspective to the table. “I think renters are seen as though they aren’t invested in the community,” Roehling said. “There’s a huge percentage of this community that rents.” According to Booker’s campaign website, one of his goals is to create a Renter’s Bill of Rights, which would aim to decrease predatory rental practices in Bloomington and forced eviction. Booker also supports more sustainable city practices to lower energy use and consumption. He said he believes building up the city’s infrastructure will be critical to protecting citizens from extreme weather such as large amounts of rain caused by climate change. As a leader of many of the protests against the purchase of an armored vehicle last year, Booker is familiar with the current city council. He said he thought many of the council members did not listen to their constituents during discussions about the armored vehicle. He wants to be different. “He pays attention,” Roehling said. “He listens to people around him. He has this brain that can take things in and respond in a way that’s helpful.” Although Booker has no direct connection with IU, he said he talked to student media and student groups about the armored vehicle purchase a lot in the past year. Students should not be left out of the picture when it comes to affordable housing, Booker said. He said he knows many students are not wealthy and cannot afford the large, more expensive student housing that has been built in recent years. He also said students have a lot of voting power with the size of their population. “They have to pay bills here, they have to breathe the air,” Booker said. “I want students to know they have the power and pick it up.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Smith continues to ﬂash high level of play By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

Last season’s trip to Williams Arena, better known as “The Barn,” on the campus of the University of Minnesota for the IU men’s basketball team marked the breakout performance for then-freshman forward Justin Smith. The Jan. 6, 2018, contest saw Smith score what is still his career-high in points for the Hoosiers with 20, which came as part of an efficient seven of 10 shooting performance from the field. That victory was one of only three road wins in conference play the Hoosiers had during IU Head Coach Archie Miller’s first season, but Smith’s performance gave a prelude to the potential future of the program. Thirteen months later, IU is set to return to Minneapolis in an unenviable spot in terms of both the conference standings and its recent form, something exemplified by the recent play of Smith. Over IU’s last 10 games, Smith has averaged 8.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, although those performances have come with outliers. On one end of the spectrum was Smith’s showing during IU’s win at Michigan State on Feb. 2, in

which he played 35 minutes while recording a doubledouble. “He did a really nice job against Michigan State,” Miller said last week. “He was really engaged defensively, made a lot of plays, awareness plays over the ball.”

Miller praised Smith’s communication with his teammates, especially during transition play, as part of the reason for his success against the Spartans. This came with several frontcourt players receiving significant minutes for IU fol-

lowing the injury suffered by senior forward Juwan Morgan. It allowed Smith, along with freshman forward Jake Forrester and junior forward De’Ron Davis, to log playing time for the Hoosiers during critical mo-

ments of the upset win. “Being able to help not only Jake at times, or Juwan at times, or even De’Ron at times, to get them organized and get them matched up,” Miller said. But, similarly to IU in general, Smith’s offensive

MLB ﬂaunts different look heading into 2019 Brandon Schaff is a junior in media.

With pitchers and catchers from all 30 MLB teams reporting for Spring Training this week, baseball is officially back. There will be some notable roster differences this year as teams begin to prepare for Opening Day, slated this year for March 28. Excluding season openers in foreign countries, this will be the earliest start to the season in MLB history. The earlier start means the clock is already ticking for some of baseball’s biggest stars to get back into the swing of things, no pun intended. MLB free agency has been a hot topic since Boston brought home its fourth World Series title since the turn of the century last October. With some of the biggest names in the sport still unsigned, the question of just how productive Spring Training will be this year will be answered soon enough. The coveted Bryce Harper and Manny Machado sweepstakes have left organizations in a quandary. Machado was offered a seven-year, $175 million deal by the Chicago White Sox early in the offseason that was promptly shut down by his agent. Harper has reportedly been offered a five-year deal with the

as March 12. Lorenzo Cain (Brewers) signed in January. Two of these five players, Martinez and Cain, joined rosters that eventually went on impressive postseason runs — Cain making it to the NLCS and Martinez eventually becoming a World Series champion. Martinez was also the RBI leader in the American League and recipient of the Silver Slugger Award and AL Hank Aaron Award in 2018. Multiple teams will also have key players returning from injury just in time for Opening Day. The Cubs will see the return of Darvish, who has fi-

nally recovered from elbow issues that took him out of the rotation in May last year. Giants catcher Buster Posey will make his longawaited return behind the plate after receiving hip surgery in August. Trevor Rosenthal, who has not played since August 2017, will return to the Nationals after receiving Tommy John surgery. Look for these players, among many others returning to rosters this year, to make a big difference with the 2019 regular season on the horizon. bschaff@iu.edu

NATIONAL SPORTS COLUMN

AAF’s showing football season doesn’t end Dan Black is a senior in sports media.

The college football season wrapped up just over one month ago. The NFL finished last week, leaving millions of fans across the nation wondering, "What do we do now? How do we get our football fix?" Last Saturday they got their answer with the Alliance of American Football, the newest sports league to pop up on television screens. The AAF debuted on CBS in a fairly striking fashion. It matched up the San Antonio Commanders versus the San Diego Fleet in one game and the Orlando Apollos and Atlanta Legends in another. The CBS broadcast pulled in strong numbers with 2.9 million viewers that night, higher than the primetime NBA game on ABC between the Houston Rockets and

IU softball ranked in latest top-25 poll By Phillip Steinmetz

San Francisco Giants worth enough money to justify an early retirement — still it's not enough to convince the 26-year-old franchise player to head west. As a handful of teams scramble to negotiate with the two stars, there is no need to hit the panic button quite yet. Last season provides enough evidence that late offseason signings can translate to success. Eric Hosmer (Padres), Yu Darvish (Cubs) and J.D. Martinez (Red Sox) each signed with their new teams in February 2018 and Jake Arrieta (Phillies) did not ink his contract until as late

Oklahoma City Thunder, a contest filled with superstars and household names, which only got 2.5 million viewers. The Sunday games also did well, with the Arizona Hotshots versus Salt Lake Stallions game drawing a 0.4 rating, which was higher than Johnny Manziel’s debut in the Canadian Football League, which got a 0.3. The AAF does not have Manziel-like names, making its television success even more impressive. In total there are eight teams, split into the Eastern Conference and Western Conference. Teams play in big market cities like Atlanta and San Diego in addition to smaller markets like Birmingham, Alabama. With those teams comes the players and coaches, some of whom are fairly recognizable to a football fan. For example, the Arizona Hotshots are coached by

ex-University of Mississippi Head Coach Hugh Freeze. Atlanta holds a formidable duo of college stars in former University of Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray and Michigan dual-threat Denard Robinson. The Legends' offensive coordinator just so happens to be Michael Vick. There are even some former Hoosiers, including former Offensive Coordinator Mike DeBord, who holds the same position now in San Diego. The AAF is the first of three new non-NFL leagues to make its debut, with the Freedom Football Leagye and reborn XFL expected to make their appearances in 2020. The main question about these leagues is will they work? The only real answer is why shouldn’t they? With the AAF now underway, it gives football fans even more of the sport they love. Especially with it

and defensive momentum from the game didn’t extend into IU’s play last week. Home losses to then-No. 20 Iowa and Ohio State saw Smith continue his Jekylland-Hyde consistency. He had just six points and two rebounds in the Iowa loss, while his statistics marginally improved to eight points and three rebounds in the Ohio State defeat. The games also featured maddening sequences from Smith where he would air ball a jump shot during a stagnant offensive possession, only to thunder down the court a few plays later and make a strong cut to receive the ball and finish at the rim. Defensively, Smith’s error near the end of the game against Ohio State allowed the Buckeyes to easily score the winning basket, although his three-block performance against Michigan State showed his defensive competency. Miller said that for offensive success, Smith needs to continue creating action via screens and making timely plays. At the other end of the court, Miller just wants Smith to continue playing hard, with Smith’s next opportunity to recapture his stellar play coming at the site of one of his best games in the cream and crimson.

starting a week after the Super Bowl, it’s like the game never left. It in no way competes with the NFL or college football, therefore giving the leagues the opportunity to stand alone and create its own brand. This is especially true for the AAF, seeing as it is the only one around so far. More so than that though is that it is a league of second-chances. Former NFL players who could not make it for some reason get another shot on the gridiron to prove to themselves and the NFL that they can play at the highest level. With player salaries just north of $83,000 per year, it is also a decent living wage as they look for another shot at the NFL. It’s really a win-win: fans get more football, and players and coaches get one more shot. drblack@iu.edu

After a 5-0 start to the season, IU softball cracked the top 25 in the USA Today and National Fastpitch Coaches Association rankings Tuesday. IU checked in at No. 24 as one of six Big Ten teams to receive votes. The last time that the Hoosiers appeared in the coaches poll was on May 7, 1996. In the season-opening weekend, IU defeated the University of Virginia, Bethune-Cookman University, St. John’s University,

Florida Atlantic University and then-No. 6 University of Georgia. The Hoosiers outscored all five opponents 32-7 and batted .311 as a team while limiting their opponents to a .198 average. Senior pitcher Tara Trainer had three wins in the five games with a 2.19 earned runs average and 13 hits allowed. IU will take that ranking this to Durham, North Carolina this upcoming weekend for the Big Ten/ACC Challenge where they will face Syracuse University and Duke University twice each.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Three things to know as IU takes on Michigan By Dylan Wallace dswallac@iu.edu | @Dwall_1

Five games remain in the regular season for IU women’s basketball. At 17-8 overall and 6-7 in the Big Ten, the Hoosiers’ NCAA Tournament hopes remain very alive, but this final stretch could knock IU out of the Big Dance. IU has dropped seven of its last 10 games and is without its leading scorer, junior guard Ali Patberg, for at least a few more games after she suffered an injury against Minnesota on Feb. 6. The final five games feature three teams IU has lost to already this season, No. 14 Iowa and Michigan, who IU already defeated this season. First up is Michigan on the road Thursday night in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Here are three things to know about the Hoosiers matchup with the Wolverines. 1. Big Ten standings implications Michigan is 16-9 on the season and 7-6 in conference play. With that 7-6 record, the Wolverines currently sit at sixth place in the standings. As for IU, the Hoosiers are eleventh place at 6-7. But if IU were to pick up the victory, the Hoosiers could potentially jump to tied-for-fifth in the standings.

A team’s place in the standings determines what seed it will be for the Big Ten Tournament, which means the higher the seed a team gets, it will face the lower seeds in the standings. "We're desperate to get back in the win column," IU Coach Teri Moren said. "We've underachieved here as far as the last few games and we've also had some adversity, but with adversity comes another person's opportunity." With IU’s tough stretch to close out the season, a high seed in the Big Ten Tournament could give it a better chance of winning a game or two at Banker’s Life Fieldhouse, boosting the Hoosiers’ tournament hopes. 2. Momentum on Michigan’s side Despite IU already defeating Michigan 70-60 Jan. 24 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, the Wolverines have more momentum than the Hoosiers. Michigan has won four straight games with one of those wins coming against the No. 14-ranked Hawkeyes. In its most recent win against Penn State, Head Coach Kim Barnes Arico picked up her 150th win at Michigan, making her the first coach in program history to reach that mark. Arico’s squad is led in scoring by freshman forward Naz Hillmon with

13.2 points per game. Hillmon scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds against the Hoosiers this season. Senior center Hallie Thome and senior guard Nicole Munger also score in double figures with Thome scoring down low and Munger scoring from the outside. "Everybody's gotten bet-

ter, and they certainly have," Moren said. Michigan’s winning streak will look to feed off IU’s two-game losing skid. 3. Home court advantage The last six times these two teams have squared off, the home team has won the game. Michigan took the lone game between the two

last season in Ann Arbor, and IU continued the trend earlier this season in Bloomington. With this game being held in the Crisler Center, history points to Michigan winning. The Wolverines are also 10-1 at home this season with the only loss coming from No. 24 Michigan State.

"Tremendous team that plays well at home," Moren said. "I'm sure they're chomping at the bit to get another opportunity, but so are we." IU’s road record, 6-4, isn’t bad. Despite leading the all-time series against Michigan 45-28, the Hoosiers haven’t won in Ann Arbor since 2009.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

IU women’s tennis wraps up home stand, move to 6-2 By William Coleman wicolema@iu.edu | @WColeman08

Two team wins highlighted a three-match stint at home for the women’s tennis team, but a 4-3 loss to University of Notre Dame left a blemish on this weekend. IU came out strong Saturday morning with a 4-1 finish over James Madison University. The Hoosiers took two of three doubles matches to pick up a point before the Dukes dropped three quick singles matches to concede the win. Sunday morning’s test against Notre Dame was the marquee match of the weekend. The Hoosiers have not defeated the Fighting Irish since 2015, but they came close on the road last season. IU had a team match point going for them, but they ultimately lost to Notre Dame. With this rematch having been on their minds for a while, each IU player came out fiery to start with

doubles. The Hoosiers clinched the doubles point with No. 1 and 2 doubles bringing home 6-2 decisions. No. 3 doubles was up 5-4 on the Fighting Irish when the other two matches ended. Sophomore Michelle McKamey won in straight sets at No. 5 singles to give IU a 2-0 lead before things took a turn for the worst. Senior Madison Appel and freshman Somer Henry lost in straight sets, bringing things to a 2-2 tie. Junior Caitlin Bernard fell 12-10 in a back-and-forth third set tiebreak, and sophomore Jelly Bozovic fell in three sets after taking the first, 6-1. Notre Dame earned its fourth consecutive team win over IU. “Everybody’s a little down and upset about it because we had a good opportunity to beat Notre Dame again,” IU Head Coach Ramiro Azcui said. “I was very pleased with the effort and the energy the team

brought, but we couldn’t sustain that until the very end and it just cost us.” In what could have been the singles match that determined a deadlocked IU and Notre Dame, senior Natalie Whalen fought back to take the second set and win a third set tiebreak to claim a No. 2 singles win. Later in the day, Whalen and Bernard combined for a 6-0 sweep of Saint Louis University as IU clinched the doubles point in its final match of the weekend. Instead of going from No. 2 doubles to No. 2 singles, Whalen watched the singles half of play from the sideline with a bag of ice taped to her shoulder. With that came an open spot in the lineup which junior Anna McCoy filled. The Bloomington native dropped the opening set 7-6 at No. 6 singles, and her match came to an end one game into the second set because IU had already clinched the 4-0 team win over Saint Louis.

The reason we schedule like this, three matches this weekend, is because we thought we were gonna have a few more players on the team, and I wanted to give everyone the chance to play," Azcui said. "Anna’s been stepping up every time we ask her to come in. It’s a tough role to be on the bench, but she’s doing a great job." Next weekend IU will play away from home for the first time all season with a pair of SEC opponents up next in nonconference play. “Those are both big matches for us,” Henry said about her first ever weekend on the road. “I think that’ll be fun trying to get the win on the road in two new environments.” IU takes on the University of Tennessee at 11:30 a.m. Feb. 15 and University of Kentucky at 11:00 a.m. Feb. 17. Following the road trip, SAM HOUSE | IDS the Hoosiers will play their Then-freshman Michelle McKamey, left, and then-sophomore Caitlin next six matches at home Bernard, right, celebrate winning a point during the 2018 season. McKamey won in straight sets at No. 5 singles Feb. 10 against University before traveling to Hawaii. of Notre Dame.

looked for the manager for instruction, he said. “I felt compelled to stand up and say, ‘It’s okay, everybody is fine, let’s just have lunch,’” he said. The real danger Thursday was not tornadoes, Kirkpatrick said, but flooding. He said threats like

flooding from heavy rains and lightning are not taken as seriously as they should be. “Those sorts of risks tend to be forgotten by people sometimes,” he said. “They don’t cause the sirens to go off. They don’t cause us to check our phones.”

In any inclement weather, Kirkpatrick said to trust the experts, whether that be the National Weather Service or a local TV meteorologist. The warnings may not be perfect, he said, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Kirkpatrick said he likes to think of tornado warnings

like an insurance policy. Individuals don’t necessarily need them all the time, but the one time something bad does happen, it could save lives. IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said if IU issues a warning, students are expected to follow it until it expires,

even if they think there is no real danger. He said students, staff and faculty should refer to the Protect IU emergency planning page, which includes steps on how to update personal IU-Notify settings and advice on who to contact in an emergency.

Play takes dystopian twist on feminist novel By Clark Gudas

question, because I know our audience is partially students, partially donors, partially people from around the community, so that’s a pretty wide cross-section. Ideally, my audience is the people that the story is about, is queer women of color, and is for that audience. But I’m also reckoning that’s maybe two percent of the people who see it, if I’m lucky. The play is, on one level, aiming to talk to my community about the state of the union and hope and survival tactics and how to move forward, but also trying to talk to the general Bloomington community. A lot of times, people feel absolved of any wrongdoing if their politics look right. It’s becomes less about action and what you’re doing in your daily lives.

The Indiana Daily Student sat down with Master of Fine Arts student and playwright Kaela Mei-Shing Garvin to talk about her new play, “Haus of Mirth,” produced as part of IU’s “At First Sight: A Festival of New Plays.” The play runs Feb. 27-28 and Mar. 1-2 at the Studio Theatre in the theater building. Responses have been edited for brevity and clarity. Indiana Daily Student Could you tell me about the premise of the production? Garvin This is a very loose take in reframing the novel “The House of Mirth” by Edith Wharton, which is a 1905 novel set in high society New York. I reset the play in a nearfuture dystopia where women have taken over the world, had a revolution, but recreated a lot of the same issues that there were in society, now in all female government. That’s an interesting time period to take work from, especially to make something dystopian out of it. For me, I was very attracted to the source material. “The House of Mirth” was a novel that I had been gifted by my grandmother. I just loved the book. When I was thinking about how I was going to adapt it, I didn’t immediately set it in this dystopian future, I was first thinking about, “OK, well what’s going to be effective on the page to replicate these hyper-strict social norms,” because I do think on some level I’m always into

a period drama with the 1905 costumes and the historical aspects of that. At the same time, for me, just looking at the politics of it, as a mixed person, I’m not going to get cast in one of those shows, and I know there’s a lot of people of color on the campus who don’t get roles very often, so I was like, ‘How can we relate what I am zoning in on about this play, which is a narrative about this women who has to constantly code switch, pretend to be someone she’s not, to convince everyone, ‘I belong here.’ It’s something I really relate to. What kind of themes or ideas is the show dealing with? Something we’re zoning in on is this idea of code switch-

ing, of presenting different faces to different groups of people in order to succeed in the world, which is something I relate to racially and that’s how it’s presented in the adaptation. We’re in this new society the white women have created where it’s replicated a lot of social problems of aspiring to whiteness, aspiring to fit into these molds in the way that in the original novel, the character Lily Bart has to act a certain way, present herself a certain way, dress a certain way, in order to fit in with her friends, who are gajillionaires. You’re dealing with themes of where we’re currently at, both with feminism and the left in general. What we label as progressive politics is not always inclusive. It’s not always serving everyone.

At its core, both the source material and this adaptation are all about power. The play really narrows in on the importance of economic power, particularly. The idea of class, and how it is tied in with race, how it is tied in with feminism. These things are all sort of interconnected. What does “The House of Mirth” — the novel and the adaptation — mean to you? It has a special place in my heart, partially because my grandma gave me the book. I discovered this after I finished writing the adaptation: I was looking at the book, thinking, “Oh, what else is up here,” and my grandma had left me a note that said: “This would make a great play!” I really love the book. I love

IDS staff responds to the Grammy Awards Whenever an awards show such as the Grammys takes place, there are always arguments for days in its wake. Every win is someone else’s loss, and a loss for your artist of choice can be quite the ego-bruiser. Here are some takes on last night’s winners and losers from the staff of the IDS. Matt Begala, creative director Kacey Musgraves winning Album of the Year is a travesty. The honor should have gone to Janelle Monáe’s “Dirty Computer.” Its rich, introspective analysis of both the artist and audience, as well as the society in which it was created, is everything a truly exceptional, award-winning album should be. There is no explanation for why Musgraves came away with the award. Monàe was robbed, and, in a way, so were all of us. Grace Ybarra, arts reporter I didn’t really disagree with any of the winners. I’m just not a huge country person so I had no idea who the heck Kacey Musgraves was and sort of didn’t agree with her as Album of the Year, just because I’ve literally never

heard of her. Maybe I’m just uncultured. But I loved that Childish Gambino won for “This is America,” and I’m so happy Ariana Grande won for “Sweetener.” Joe Schroeder, arts editor Childish Gambino won the night with his politically-charged anthem “This Is America” taking home Grammys for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Music Video. This win shows how far the rap genre has evolved and helps legitimize rappers as respectable artists to both the public and to critics. “This is America” proves rap songs can include biting political commentary just as effectively as a politician’s speech. Tristan Jackson, design chief Mac Miller should have won Best Rap Album. I have nothing but respect for Cardi B and what she’s done, but “Swimming” was a much better album. I think the idea of people complaining he only won because he’s dead scared voters away from him, and in turn missed the chance to give him the tribute he deserved as well as award the best album on the list.

the world it creates. I really connect to the main character, Lily Bart, and how she goes through it. One of my favorite things about the character is she’s kind of stupid. She’s always doing things, like, “No! Your values are messed up! Ditch your rich friends and go live with the poor people.” There are ways that’s impossible for her, and I relate that directly to my experiences in professional or educational settings. At the same time, that’s a messed up ideal, but in order to succeed, I feel like I have to do that, if I want to have a career. What hopes do you have in telling this story to a community like Bloomington and IU? That’s an interesting

believe that any band is completely original, but come on. The fact that the band actually won Best Rock Album is unbelievably disappointing. Annie Aguiar, arts editor Strangely enough, the only category this year that I actually cared about was for Best Recording Package. This was the only category that my eternal queen singersongwriter Mitski was nominated in, for the design of her stand out indie rock album “Be the Cowboy.” Mitski’s album didn’t actually win the award, with it going to St. Vincent’s team for the design on “Masseduction” instead, but she did win my heart.

What should the average audience member look forward to in terms of entertainment, production value, etc.? Oh my gosh. We have an incredible cast, all-stars. We’re working with the Ph.D. student who is directing the piece, Joe D’Ambrosi. There’s some really exciting work I’ve seen from the actors. It’s light sci-fi, there’s that to look forward to. The second act opens and we’re on a spaceship, which is super fun. People are giving really beautiful performances, and it’s also, for as much as we’ve talking about social justice these past few minutes, it’s a comedy. It’s a comedy of manners, it’s a comedy about how to act with your friends. Even though the themes are deep, it’s presented in a pretty stupid way.

Widely regarded as one of the worst movies of all time, “The Room” will be screened at 7 p.m. Feb. 24 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. “The Room,” which was written, directed and produced by Tommy Wiseau, who also stars in the film, has become a cult classic since its release in 2003. The movie was called the “Citizen Kane” of bad movies by assistant film professor Ross Morin while he was teaching about the movie at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. Now, the movie has become a cult classic. The film follows Johnny, a banker in San Francisco who lives in an apartment with his girlfriend Lisa. The two are engaged and appear to be in love, but Lisa grows tired of Johnny and seduces his best friend Mark. Johnny slowly begins to

learn about Lisa’s infidelity while also maintaining his relationships with Lisa, Mark and Denny, the couple’s young neighbor who Johnny supports financially. The movie is infamous in film circles for its poor acting, inconsistent storytelling and over-the-top drama and sex scenes. The film is rated R due to these sex scenes as well as language. The best way to view the movie is with a large group of people, the theater said in a press release. Over the years, many running gags have developed among the film’s fans, such as throwing spoons at the screen during showings and yelling out famous lines simultaneously with actors. Tickets are available online in advance for $12 and will be available the day of the screening for $15. All proceeds will benefit Cardinal Stage.

THOUGHT POCKET

Make sure to celebrate National Condom Week this Valentine’s Day Tiffany Xie is a junior in biology and English.

Valentine’s Day may be Feb. 14, but it also marks the start of National Condom Week in the United States. The IU Health Center gives away condoms for free, but condoms also show up in surprising places. They can become a part of doodles, fashion and even art. In Bloomington they can even come with your pizza order. There are good reasons to use a condom. A male condom often costs less than a dollar, is 98 percent effective at preventing pregnancy when used correctly and prevents HIV and sexually transmitted infections. As they say, “No glove, no love.” Yet despite all the benefits and availability of condoms, many people still have condomless sex. A recent survey of 18-34-year-olds found a common excuse for having sex without a condom includes “I’m not worried about STIs.” Unfortunately, although some STIs are treatable, many go undiagnosed and can have serious consequences, such as infertility. HPV, the most common STI in the U.S., can cause multiple forms of cancer. Other STIs have no cure at all, such as herpes or HIV. When weighed against these risks, it seems like common

sense to use a condom. Changing the way we talk about condoms can make it easier to use them. One barrier to condom use may be lack of effective sex education. Sexual education is not a requirement in Indiana. Last year, Indiana passed a law that requires parental permission before instructing children on sex. A former IDS columnist, Maddy Klein pushed against this law and critically analyzed the way we view sex education. “[u]nlike politics or religion, which are unlikely to affect students’ health, sexual activity is an area where accurate and comprehensive education protects students from sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies.” Parenting can also be a strong influence on condom use. An article published this year in Pediatrics followed African American and Latino father-son pairs and asked them about condom use. The study found that sons wanted more specific guidance on condom use, while fathers felt gaps in knowledge about sex limited their ability to teach their sons about condom use. Conversations between partners are also important. Unlike other health behaviors that only depend on

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

individual choices, it takes two to use a condom. A 2014 meta-analysis found that communication about condom use between adolescent partners significantly increased condom use. Research from the Condom Use Research Team at the Kinsey Institute, in collaboration with Clue, a female health app, also shows the importance of women in determining condom usage.

Their study found that about one in five women decide when to use a condom rather than their partner, and that three-quarters of the time, both partners make the decision. Male condoms are not necessarily male-controlled. Many don’t realize the variety of condoms that are available. Another Kinsey Institute Condom Research Team project involved test-

ing an at-home program that encouraged women to try different male condoms. After the program, participants reported decreases in condom use errors, increases in self-efficacy and more positive attitudes toward condomprotected sex. Some condom companies advertise the importance of fit and choices. MyONE alone boasts 60 different sizes of male condoms.

The female condom was recently rebranded as the more gender-fluid internal condom. Thanks to new changes in regulations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, internal condoms are also becoming more available and recognized. There is a condom for every kind of love. So this Valentine’s Day, use one. tifxie@iu.edu

NOBODY ASKED ME, BUT...

NARROWING IN WITH NISHANT

Judging girls stems from unfair expectations

Wealth inequality is a disease, but there is a cure

Anne Anderson is a senior in international law.

Last week I saw the resurgence of my favorite trend: videos of thin women eating like they have absolutely no will to live. Then these videos are retweeted by the rest of us irked thick queens to condemn the girl for treating “food as a personality.” It is incredibly annoying as a woman who is not the ideal size 2 to see pretty girls stuffing their face to no abandon and receiving praise. All while I would never hear the end of it from the people “just concerned for my health.” It is true that society is inherently fatphobic, and thin girls can enjoy food in a way that bigger girls will never be able to — which is enjoying their food unbothered. No one tells a skinny girl eating a whole pizza they’re “worried for her health” or they “shouldn’t show their body because it promotes unhealthy obesity.” I completely understand the frustration that arises when these girls treat liking food as a personality trait. But the thing is, girls are made by our culture to feel as if it has to be. Women are never supposed to eat as much as men, or as freely as men, or generally as plentiful as men. Diet culture goes back centuries, always disproportionately targeting women as its demo-

graphic, pushing whatever new body type the decade decided was ideal at any cost. Eating disorders affect women at a rate higher than men, and even without a formal eating disorder diagnosis, more women are expected to exhibit disordered eating or habits in their life at a higher rate than their male counterparts. In a study published by PubMed Central, it was found that when asked about the same occasion of eating too much, men reported “overeating” while women mostly used the phrase “lost control while eating.” Even when men and women both sit down and stuff their faces, society teaches the boys that it is just over-eating or a big appetite, whereas for women over-eating should be something shameful and not a normal activity. Men get to enjoy food as a pleasure, but women can only enjoy food as a guilty one. Girls are always supposed to eat less, eat right, look good and be mindful about food. It’s no wonder that we have turned what is literally a biological necessity into a personality trait — because we are taught that liking food is something that is niche and not just something that everyone human does. Boys get to eat their parents out of house and home and no one bats an eye be-

cause they’re “growing.” Girls get to hear from family members how they should “maybe think about that second plate” or “exercise after dinner to work all that off.” If society had just let us women eat in peace from the get-go, none of us would feel like actually enjoying and eating food was a novelty — we would just do it and go about our day.

Next time you get mad at a girl for treating her appetite as a quirk, at least be a little more mad at the culture we created to cause this. And probably be thankful that not every girl in the world has an eating disorder with the way we’re taught to think about our bodies and our need for food. anneande@iu.edu

THE SKILES FILES

Space Force: America’s next greatest strength Michael Skiles is a sophomore in cinema and media arts.

During the State of the Union address, President Trump brought up the importance of sending American astronauts to space on American rockets. It’s a prospect we should strive for. In particular, his comments revived some views I have about Trump’s Space Force. It’s certainly an ambitious proposal. Adding another branch to the military is extremely serious but certainly necessary. A lot of people have reservations about the Space Force. Many critics wonder why we need a Space Force when we have NASA. They don’t realize the clear difference between the two. For starters, NASA is a government program, not a branch of the military. Saying that NASA and the Space Force are the same thing is like saying the National Oce-

anic and Atmospheric Administration is the same as the U.S. Navy. NASA has a completely alternative purpose. They primarily strive for discovery. They’re planning journeys to Mars and creating more observation satellites. These are respectable causes, and I certainly hope they receive proper funding to get their hard work off the ground again via American rockets. However, they aren’t a militaristic program. That’s where the Space Force comes in. The goal of the Space Force would be to secure the safety of all Americans by using methods of protection from space. China and Russia, unfortunately, are a few steps ahead of us. China has already developed weapons such as anti-satellite missiles that leave fields of dangerous debris in their wake. You may think the idea of a Space Force is ridiculous. Well, it’s important to look

back at the way past branches of the military were formed. There was a time when the first flights over the Atlantic were taking place. The last thing many people thought about when they saw these winged death machines was that they deserved their own branch of the military. The skies were still a very new means of transportation for Americans. The U.S., however, certainly persisted, and eventually the magnitude and demand for these planes merited the creation of a completely new branch of the military. An idea that, at one time, seemed so inconceivable became a building block of our military, and many are quite grateful for it today. All militaristic operations that occur in space currently come directly from the space subdivision of the Air Force. The Air Force doesn’t have the proper time or resources

to successfully secure and improve our status in space due to their primary focus on combat in other areas of the globe. Our advancements in space technology and experience are telltale signs that we’re more than ready for this space subdivision to emerge as a full blown Space Force. Again, the United States must surpass other nations. We’ve always been pioneering the next technological step and championing cutting-edge ideals. We can’t allow ourselves to miss this opportunity just because other countries haven’t successfully executed the idea of a space force yet. If anything, that’s all the more reason for us to do it ourselves. We must afford ourselves every advantage possible. We’ve been a world leader for decades. There is absolutely no reason we should stop now. msskiles@iu.edu

Chances are, you have experienced a conversation about wealth inequality. The breadth of income disparity today is clearly bad. We must enact policies to even the field, and we need to do it quickly. A 2016 study showed the top 10 percent took home 51 percent of all new income. That seems unacceptably lopsided. Unfortunately, the same study shows that the top 10 percent owned 78 percent of all wealth. These horrifying figures show no sign of reversing in the future either. It is expected that by 2053, the median black family’s wealth will be $0 with Latino families reaching the same number 20 years later. These things will be happening in a world far wealthier than ours is today. They say you can’t squeeze blood from a stone. The rich have a very different mantra: under-pay foreign workers you’ve tricked to ensure that your hands are never too callous. Even with this gloomy picture, there are new reasons for hope. The run up to the 2020 Democratic primary is underway, and a few candidates have exciting proposals. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has devised the “Ultra Millionaire Tax.” Under her plan, a household worth more than $50 million would be charged a wealth tax of 2 percent. If your household is worth over $1 billion, that rate would be 3 percent. With a total of only 75,000 households affected, the plan expects to raise $2.75 trillion over 10 years. On the other hand, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., released a bill on estate taxes entitled “For The 99.8 Percent Act.” This plan would not only restore the previous estate tax that Republicans

recently gutted but expand it. Of course, Republicans are out with their own plan to repeal the estate tax entirely. Who doesn’t love a permanent aristocracy? Both Warren and Sanders’ plans seek to redistribute money from the very richest in order to help the poor and middle class. This is a welcomed initial step. It is probable that the uber-rich will do all they can to avoid paying higher taxes. To combat this situation, the Warren plan would beef up the Internal Revenue Service. Perhaps this would not be enough to counter their tactics, but just because something is difficult to do does not mean it shouldn’t be done. Some people say that the rich already contribute to society by giving back through charity. But major societal priorities and causes the uber-rich are willing to throw money at only occasionally overlap. Charity may be beneficial, but it should never overtake taxes. In 2017, Deborah and Randall Tobias gave $5 million to the now HamiltonLugar School of Global and International Studies. That money is fundamentally different from governmental funding for our language programs. This is not to say I don’t understand the situation administrators face. When the state legislature refuses to fund proposals, administrators are forced to look elsewhere. However, this comes at a cost, too. While I have no reason to doubt the Tobias’ generosity, there is a history of private donations affecting who gets hired at universities and who doesn’t. When my school is funded with influence from the world’s wealthiest, is it wrong to think they may have a motivating factor? Yes, it is wrong and entirely conspiratorial. What is not is the fact that most wealth in America needs to be redistributed. nmohile@iu.edu

Spice Cowboy to release ﬁrst EP at performance are also featured on the forthcoming project. “I feel like the aesthetic we’re after is very neo-soul and psych rock mixed with hip hop production but sounds like it was recorded in the ‘70s but still sounds modern too,” Ramirez said. Ramirez plays keyboard and sings for the band. He is also a senior in the Jacobs School of Music studying audio engineering. He engineered the EP, which he said was mostly recorded in band members’ basements. The result is a collection of eight tracks. Eight songs is lengthy for an EP, which usually only includes about five songs. It features iPhone recordings, verses sung in Spanish and something the band calls a “drunkerlude,” a mariachi-inspired interlude meant to sound like its performers are drunk. Spice Cowboy said its aim is to expand listeners’ minds not just through their music, but through its performances as well. Members often play in matching overalls or dresses and invite the crowd to share their thoughts on political figures such as former presi-

Bloomington indie rock band Spice Cowboy will release its first EP, “Wild Wild Midwest,” on Feb. 16 with a show at the Palm Tree Palace. The show, which will be held in a house show venue located at 1220 E. Hunter Ave, starts at 9 p.m. The event will feature performances by Spice Cowboy, Marvin Stumbles and Pipe Dreams. Attendees will be charged $3 at the door, which will be donated to Middle Way House. Spice Cowboy members Nick Jackson and Sam Ramirez said they’re excited to finally be releasing “Wild Wild Midwest,” which they started working on a year ago. Ramirez said the EP is aimed at challenging the listener’s perception of the Western cowboy trope. Guitarist Nate Bercovitz and synth bass player Luke Brown are from Indianapolis and Valparaiso, Indiana, respectively. The two said they lend their experiences of a Midwestern upbringing to the band’s music. Amine Khalfallah and Nathan Roseboom

dents Bill Clinton and the recently-deceased George H. W. Bush. Jackson, the band’s drummer and an IU graduate student studying Bosnian politics, shared some experiences he had while performing a show at the Back Door. The

band all wore dresses onstage. “It’s weird to see the way people react to you,” Jackson said. “Someone was faux cat-calling me. Another time, people were smacking my ass. It’s like, why do you think this is OK all of a sudden?” The band’s upcoming re-

lease touches on topics such as masculinity, maturation and the impermanence of college students’ lives and relationships. Jackson said the song “Country Club” came about after he worked at one. “It was like greek life on steroids,” Jackson said.

Meanwhile, Ramirez points to love and loss as the inspiration for tracks “Small Explosions” and “Quesadillas.” CDs of “Wild Wild Midwest” will be available for sale at Spice Cowboy’s show this Saturday.
