INDIANAPOLIS – In his victory speech Tuesday night, Republican Mike Braun told supporters he wouldn’t have run for U.S. Senate if Donald Trump was not president.

Braun spoke to a crowd of almost 200 people at the JW Marriott hotel in downtown Indianapolis. The event began at 6 p.m., but Braun did not arrive until his 10 p.m. when he gave his victory speech.

He defeated incumbent Sen. Joe Donnelly, who gave a concession speech at 9:30 p.m.

President Trump endorsed Braun at rallies around Indiana leading up to the election, urging voters to support Braun. Vice President Pence and Bob Knight also appeared at Braun’s rallies.

“I want to thank all Hoosiers for giving me a resounding victory, for putting your faith in me,” Braun said. “I will not let you down.”

Braun said Republicans need to keep working hard over the next two years to reelect Trump.

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Democrats showed up to the party’s watch party in downtown Indianapolis early Tuesday evening with cautious optimism about the Indiana’s Senate race.

Some left in tears.

Democrat Sen. Joe Donnelly delivered his concession speech just before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday in the ballroom at the Hyatt Regency.

The senator, unseated by Republican businessman and former state legislator Mike Braun, expressed his gratefulness for his campaign staff in his remarks.

“I’ve been filled up so much more by you and you’ve given me so much, and I’m so grateful to all of you,” Donnelly said. “And please know this: If there’s ever anything I can ever do for you, count on me because of this. We love this country so much, we need to make sure we work to bring our country together rather than divide it.”

Donnelly had expressed optimism while

Watson loses 9th district race

By Caoline Anders and Emily Isaacman news@idsnews.com

A crowd of about 40 Monroe County Republicans gathered at the Amvets Post 2000 Tuesday night, watching as the nation watched Indiana.

Though the room was relatively timid, quiet cheers and smiles broke out as the results rolled in.

The crowd stared up at a projection screen, which bounced back and forth between Fox News and local station rtv6 as the results poured in. An American flag hung above the news crawl.

“We’re expecting a full red wave,” newly-elected Bean Blossom Township Commissioner Ed Bitner said at the start of the night.

By the end, it appeared Bitner got what he came for.

Though Republicans struggled in some county elections, Trey Hollingsworth, R-9th District, maintained his congressional seat, beating Democratic challenger Liz Watson.

“I’m excited to continue to fight for Hoosiers, whether they be students or seniors, whether they be farmers or families,” Hollingsworth said after his win. “I want to make sure that everybody sees more

opportunities, that everybody feels safer, that everybody gets a brighter, better future. I want to work hard for that.”

Hollingsworth said he’s going to prioritize advocating for term limits and lobbying bans in Congress.

“I want to continue to work on reforming Washington,” he said.

When asked about the “red wave” his constituents are excited about, Hollingsworth said he actually doesn’t watch any results

on election nights and had no idea what’s going on elsewhere in the nation.

“All I know is I couldn’t be more honored to continue to fight for Hoosiers in Washington,” he said.

After the Congressman’s win was announced, Dave Cobb, chairman of Amvets’ Board of Trustees, pointed to his Trump 2016 shirt.

After midterm elections results rolled in Tuesday night, students expressed disappointment, optimism, fear and relief.

In Indiana, Republican Mike Braun beat incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly for U.S. Senate, helping Republicans maintain control of the Senate.

Incumbent Republican Trey Hollingsworth defeated Democrat Liz Watson for the 9th Congressional District, but Democrats took control of the U.S. House of Representatives overall.

Voting among young people was significant in this election, with more than 7,700 Monroe County 18- to 24-year-olds voting, Nicole Browne, Monroe County clerk, said in an email.

A total of 52,336 registered voters in the county cast ballots, which

“Especially in Bloomington, everyone kind of expects there to be a big blue wave.

Yesterday was kind of the opposite of that, I expected bigger support for Joe Donnelly.”

Michael Riddle, senior

is about 57 percent.

This was the first time the Indiana Memorial Union was used as a polling station. The IMU had long lines throughout the day and at one point ran out of paper ballots.

“Given Indiana’s deep red affiliations, I was not surprised by the election results,” Luke Robbins, President of the College Democrats of Indiana, said. “Nationwide, I am still very optimistic though.”

Senior Michael Riddle said he did not share Robbins’ optimism while following the election. He said he was disappointed in Bloomington’s results.

“Especially in Bloomington, everyone kind of expects there to be a big blue wave,” Riddle said. “Yesterday was kind of the opposite of that, I expected a bigger support for Joe Donnelly.”

However, some students gave Braun their support. His win sets up President Trump for reelection in 2020, Matt Bludgen, treasurer of College Republicans at IU, said.

“There was a little bit of fear in Republicans, but it wasn’t as bad as I expected,” Bludgen said. “There was talk of a blue wave that never really came.”

Bludgen said he thought Hollingsworth and Watson both ran good campaigns, but that it was a mistake for Watson to bring Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, to campus because the voters in Indiana don’t agree with a lot of his views.

“I think the end of her campaign came when she campaigned with Bernie Sanders on campus,” Bludgen said.

Some students were more upset to see how well Braun did at the polls.

“I was disappointed not only that Donnelly lost, but that Mike Braun won,” senior Regine Vincent said. “It made me very anxious, I really don’t like him.”

While some said the candidates running motivated them to vote, others used their vote to make a statement.

“I’m very horrified by Donald Trump so this election was truly a referendum on Trump for me,” Ph.D. candidate and instructor Renata Uzzell said. “I was hoping Democrats could win more Senate seats.”

On campus, some felt the buildup to the election was too stressful and emotional.

“I was really ready for it all to be over,” Uzzell said.

Farm offers encounters with exotic animals

By Lexi Haskell ldhaskel@iu.edu | @lexi_haskell

The Bear Man, with his long hair and full beard, coaxed Bob and Screech out of their den.

“It’s OK,” Jeff Watson said. “It’s OK. Come on.

You’re alright.”

He had laid out various vegetables for them to eat.

After a couple minutes, the 7-year-old grizzly bears lumbered out of their den and into the enclosed pasture. The group of four guests watched from behind two layers of fencing. Watson stood inside, and his girlfriend, Sherrie Anderson, stood between the two fences.

Standing a few feet away from the bears, Watson reached his hand out and brushed the hay off their butts.

“I’ll make them photogenic for you,” Watson said to the tour group of four, joking.

Bob and Screech moved into Wilstem, their new 11-acre exotic animal farm home, two and a half weeks ago.

Located near French Lick and Paoli, Indiana, Wilstem offers “animal encounters,” or close-up interactions with their 68 exotic animals, including elephants, giraffes, kangaroos and these grizzly bears. Guests can interact with the variety of animals, including helping bathe the elephants and pet the giraffes in these encounters, which range from $10 to $299.

Its newest encounter is with Watson’s grizzlies. Watson has had these bears for their entire life, but has had bears for 30 years.

“He’s a bear like ‘Brother Bear,’” said Sheldon Troutt of Watson. Troutt works with other animals at Wilstem.

Watson has extensive film experience with bears.

He worked on an episode of “Walker, Texas Ranger” and on the movie “Grizzly Park” and acted as Grizzly Adams on the T.V. movie “P.T. Barnum.” He also appeared on Discovery Channel reality show “Porter Ridge.”

Watson named Bob, who is identifiable by four missing toes, based on what he thought a hillbilly would name a bear because of “Porter Ridge.” Screech, who is identifiable by his large head, was named after the noise he made when he was a cub.

Watson and his bears also just finished shooting the holiday episode of reality prank show “Impractical Jokers.”

Two years ago, Animal Planet aired a six-episode series called “Project Grizzly,” which followed Watson as he tried to return Bob and Screech to the wild. In the series, Watson realized in order to successfully make his bears “wild,” he had to use pain to make them fear humans. He didn’t want to do that, and so Bob and Screech have moved into Wilstem. * * * Now regulated by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture, Wilstem started in the 1980s as a ranch when Director of Marketing and Sales Audrey Brames’ father bought the 11 acres. Eventually, people began riding horses on the land, and Wilstem expanded to have cabins, cows, trail rides and zip lines.

Wilstem first welcomed exotic animals four years ago, when their family of elephants, Makia, Lou and

Sheldon Troutt, a Wilstem employee, holds a young kangaroo. Many of the kangaroos have Australian-themed names like Mel and Brisbane.

Lovie, arrived. They have private owners from Florida who used to take them across the country in a semi truck to different zoo-like places throughout the year, but since 2014 have spent March through October at Wilstem.

Since then, Wilstem bought two giraffes, Bert, 7, and Jabari, 2, from a private breeder, rescued about 20 animals from the Ringling Bros. circus and obtained a variety of other animals like zebras, bison, horses and iguanas from other private breeders and organizations.

The people who work with the animals, along with office staff like Brames, wear many hats.

“I do marketing, but I have also cleaned the cages out,” Brames said.

Troutt calls his job description “animal lover” be-

cause he works with all the animals. He may start out his day with the kangaroos and then give trail rides in the afternoon. * * * Showing off for the guests, Watson held the carrot right out of their reach until they opened their mouth, giving the guests a chance to see the bears looking “violent” before they chomped down on the carrot.

But Bob and Screech don’t seem violent. They romped around the grass, playing with each other and Watson.

He is careful to remind guests that while Bob and Screech are calm around him, there’s a reason for the two fences, one electrically

charged, between the guests and the bears.

Only Watson goes inside alone, and Anderson typically only goes inside the cage when he is with her.

When she does so, Watson watches her carefully.

“The closer you get to them, the more you realize how smart they are,” Anderson said.

Watson includes bear attack tips when he talks to his guests.

Grizzly bears, or brown bears, identified by a shoulder hump and long, straight claws for digging, want to eliminate any surprises they encounter. In an attack, it’s best to play dead.

Black bears have curved claws for climbing. Black bears want to eat you, so it’s best to fight back in a black bear attack.

Bob and Screech will be at Wilstem for three years, and Watson said he wants to balance the guest’s wants with his bear’s needs.

To get better pictures, Watson wants to build tall viewing decks so guests can take pictures of the bears above the 8-foot tall fence.

To better the lives of the bears, a waterfall and pool will be put in Watson also doesn’t have the animals trained to follow him, because he wants them to have some independence. So if the bears don’t follow him to come up to the crowd, there is a trail around the whole enclosure to see the bears.

“Most of the people who come here are animal lovers,” Watson said. “They just want to see them doing their thing.”

IUSA changes name in hope to clarify City cracks down on scooters, sets new guidelines

By Julia Locanto jlocanto@iu.edu

IU Student Association changed its name to IU Student Government. The organization, which aims to provide a platform for student input in administrative decision making, hopes the name change will help students better understand who they are.

“Our old name, the Indiana University Student Association, wasn’t super intuitive for students, faculty and staff to understand,” said Isabel Mishkin, chief of staff for IUSG. “Student government, on the other hand, is clear and relatable.”

Mishkin said the name change occurred in November to line up with the first fall congressional elections.

The name change will not affect how the organization functions, but will improve student involvement.

“The name change to IUSG is our organization’s first step to re-market ourselves to the entirety of the IU student body,” said Sam Pearson, congressional press secretary.

IUSG consists of an executive, congressional and judicial branch, and also supports the Department of Student Rights.

IUSG is working to improve other aspects of the organization along with its name. Congress is working on revising its Constitution, which affects numerous aspects of the organization, like Congressional constituencies or who runs for Executive office.

Pearson said IUSG is also hoping more students will recognize that they have an organization that will listen to them and be able to make a change.

“If any student has a contribution or suggestion they would like to make, we want them to clearly know that they have a governing body who can help them make that possible,” Pearson said.

The organization covers a wide range of tasks across campus to help improve student life. In the past, the organization worked on improving student equality and providing more resources on campus. It also provides a platform for students from

all different learning areas to connect and create more student involvement.

“We’re hoping that our mission to serve students will grow as more students hear our name and know who we are,” Mishkin said.

IUSG meets every other Tuesday with its four elected executives and other staff to discuss recent events, student government goals and new projects.

“We host events, represent students on campus committees, advocate for

student-friendly policy and more,” Mishkin said.

The student-run government is based on the United States federal government.

Although the transformation to IUSG just went public, Pearson hopes it will have an immediate and long-lasting effect on the organization’s impact.

“Overall, in due time, I am hopeful that our organization’s name will be as recognizable to the average IU student as names such as Kelley and SPEA are,” Pearson said.

Sigma Pi to fundraise for mental health

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

Senior Scott Olofson, cofounder of Tex’s BBQ, said everyone knew Tex. “He had friends all over the school, all over the country,” Olofson said.

Tex’s BBQ was created in remembrance of Sigma Pi member Nic “Tex” Smith. It is an all-you-can-eat event with food and games. The event is 12 to 4 p.m. Nov. 11 at the Sigma Pi house, located at 1430 N. Jordan Avenue.

Olofson said, in retrospect, the loud personality and big smile were signs Smith was masking some of his problems. Smith killed himself in January 2017, following periods of isolation and acting distant near the end of the fall semester.

Smith was diagnosed with anxiety and was depressive.

Junior Michael Broodo, Sigma Pi philanthropy chair and Tex’s BBQ co-founder,

said the event is to help raise awareness for mental health as much as it is an homage to Smith.

“It’s a fundraiser to support mental health initiatives on campus,” Broodo said.

Broodo said he likes to think the event helps destroy the stigma around mental illness at IU. Tickets are $10, and all proceeds go to Counseling and Psychological Services, the Sexual Assault Crisis Service and the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

This will be the first time funds will be given to SACS. He said sexual violence can make mental illness even worse, so he wanted to target it this year. The decision to give donations to SACS was a goal for this year’s president of Tex’s BBQ, Mike Zucker.

The reason he felt the need to step up and take a leadership position in this event was because Smith’s younger brother, Stuart, is a

member of his pledge class, Zucker said.

Stuart Smith is not currently a student. He transferred to Collin College in McKinney, Texas. However, he is planning to return to the fraternity and IU during the fall 2019 semester.

Stuart Smith said his family helped organize the barbecue and wanted mental health to be de-stigmatized so it would no longer to be an uncomfortable topic.

“The biggest thing with Tex’s BBQ is leaving a legacy that mental health is totally a normal thing,” Stuart Smith said. “Everyone struggles with problems from time to time.”

Stuart Smith said the barbecue helped him come to terms with his brother’s death.

He said joining Nic Smith’s fraternity showed him all the people who loved his brother. Stuart Smith was able to learn what

kind of person his brother was in college.

Nic Smith’s tendency to focus on other people’s mental health instead of his own hurt him, Stuart Smith said.

“Our whole lives, my brother wanted to make sure everybody else was OK,” Stuart Smith said. “He really cared about other people, but more than he cared about his own mental state.”

Olofson said the amount of money Sigma Pi raises doesn’t matter in the end.

He cares more about raising awareness and reducing the stigma around mental illness.

He said students have come up to him in the past and told him how much the event helped them.

“It actually got them to take some of their first and second counseling sessions they didn’t even know existed,” Olofson said.

The City of Bloomington is cracking down on scooter use and scooter companies after nearly two months of electric scooter presence in the city.

In response to recent scooter-related injuries and inappropriate usage and parking of scooters, Bloomington is implementing and enforcing scooter guidelines, according to a press release Monday.

Mayor John Hamilton said the city wants to find a balance between safe usage and enjoyment of electric scooters.

“Electric scooters represent another innovation that pushes the way we think about transportation beyond cars,” Hamilton said in the press release.

“Our streets, paths, and sidewalks continue to increase in options for travel; with these options can come added complexity and potential for conflict.”

The scooter guidelines were issued and posted to the city’s website Oct. 26 and include many of the same rules that apply to bicycles and skateboards. The rules emphasize following traffic rules when scooters are used on streets and only using scooters on sidewalks that are uncrowded and outside of the city center.

Parking enforcement staff and police will be stopping scooter riders who use sidewalks in “dismount zones” in the center of the city. These zones are currently marked by sidewalk stencils, but the city is considering adding more signage at eye level.

All current measures being put into place will serve as temporary guidelines until new city council legislation is passed in the coming months, according to the press release.

The city is also negotiating temporary operating agreements with scooter companies Bird and Lime to set operating fees, assign liability and outline responsibilities to educate the public on scooter safety and share usage data with the city.

The deadline for the city and the companies to reach agreements is Friday. The release did not specify what would happen if the deadline isn’t met.

Lime announced in a press release Monday it will be starting a company-wide “Respect the Ride” safety campaign. According to the release, local Lime ambassadors will be having “safety fairs” to educate communities on scooter safety. Lime will give free helmets to the first 25,000 riders who sign the “Respect the Ride” pledge.

FNECC celebrates heritage

By Ellen Hine emhine@indiana.edu | @ellenmhine

November is Native American Heritage Month, an annual recognition of Native American culture, traditions and societal contributions. For the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center, it’s also a chance to educate and bring awareness to Native American causes at IU. “It’s not just ‘learn about,’” FNECC director Nicky Belle said. “It’s ‘learn with.’ It’s ‘learn from.’ It’s ‘come and be part of these conversations.’”

Belle said learning more about different cultures improves people’s understanding and participation in modern issues facing indigenous peoples, including Native American land loss and sovereignty disputes.

The FNECC has organized a variety of events for Native American Heritage Month, including a traditional Potawatomi cooking tutorial, a film series and lectures on Native American cultures and traditions.

Belle said the film series

in particular is important because it exposes people to contemporary Native American life and issues. Many people come to IU only knowing about past issues for Native Americans.

“They learned what Native people had, went, saw did, etc., and know very little about what’s going on now in Native communities,” Belle said.

Native American students made up 0.8 percent of IU Bloomington students

in the 2017-2018 academic year, and only five tenured or tenure track faculty members were Native American in 2016.

Sophomore Caleb King, a founder of IU’s Native American Student Association, said people at IU don’t understand Native American issues.

“I think the perception on campus — and in many non-native people’s minds — is still that Native people were eradicated when Co-

lumbus arrived,” King said.

“Just seeing how that can be diminishing to the native voice on campus is hard.”

King said while the FNECC has supported him and other Native American students, he feels IU as an institution has not encouraged Native American students and culture.

Both King and Belle said IU community members can help Native Americans by recognizing Native Americans and their problems within their own communities.

“White people are highly recognized in society,” King said. “Their issues are immediately heard. When you’re not recognized, your issues are not immediately heard.”

Belle said people can work to educate themselves on Native American issues and challenge what they have previously learned.

“We always tell people to think about where they come from,” Belle said.

“Think about what they know, think about what has been taught to them and why.”

Pedal Pub rolls into Bloomington

By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

Bloomington is known for cycling, from the casual bike riders around town to the Little 500.

Recently, though, a different type of bike has been pedaling around: the Pedal Pub. Pedal Pub is a two-hour excursion where up to 16 riders can pedal a bike with a bar on it around to local bars and drink from a tap attached to the bike while pedaling to the next stop.

Owner Kimberly Wischmeier said her son encouraged her to franchise Pedal Pub in Bloomington four years ago, and they finally decided to do it in January.

“My son went to IU, and he had told me for quite some time that this is something we needed, that they needed,” Wischmeier said.

But, Pedal Pub Bloomington can’t serve alcohol on the bike.

“We’re still in discussions with the city, that ultimately we would love to be able to allow more beverages on our bikes, but we’re not in the business of being a bar,” Ashton Wischmeier said. “When we set out to do this, we had this mission connecting busi-

ness to business.”

Ashton Wischmeier said he first saw the Pedal Pub when he traveled to other cities and was very interested in the company because of his love of cycling.

Pedal Pub Bloomington was approved in September and is already available to book, even in the winter months. It will have its official launch in the spring.

Ashton Wischmeier said customers haven’t had problems with the no-alcohol policy so far. He said he’s led about six groups and Kimberly Wischmeier said she’s led about 10.

It took quite a few months to get approval from the city because Pedal Pub is so unconventional, Kimberly Wischmeier said. They weren’t a taxi service or a bar, so it was hard to classify the business.

“We kind of created a new industry in Bloomington that we hope continues to grow and encourages people to get outside,” Ashton Wischmeier said.

Right now, Pedal Pub Bloomington has two bikes and keeps them in a storage area on 11th Street. All of the regular tours depart from there.

The experience takes about two hours. Ashton

Pictured is the Pedal Pub parked near Downtown Bloomington.

Wischmeier said it’s usually a 15-minute ride to the first location and then people are given about 20 to 30 minutes at each stop.

One is a brewery tour that stops at Upland Brewing Co., the Tap and Switchyard Brewing Company. The other is a bar tour that goes to Kilroys on Kirkwood, Nick’s English Hut and Brothers Bar and Grill.

Ashton Wischmeier said he is thinking about adding a campus tour route.

To book the Pedal Pub, people can go online.

Ashton Wischmeier said most people book about two weeks in advance, but the minimum is two days.

There are both private tours and individual seats available. For the private tour, the renter gathers a group of

at least eight people.

During the week, it costs $25 per seat and $30 on the weekend.

In addition to these sort of tours, they are available to be rented for corporate and private events.

They both said they love running the tours.

“I just enjoy meeting people,” Kimberly Wischmeier said.

She said she likes how most people start out nervous and timid about riding the bike, but once they get started, they all seem to relax and have fun.

“It’s actually a blast,” Ashton Wischmeier said. “For me, it’s a stress reliever. When you’re out there with a group of 16 friends, helping them have a great time it puts a smile on your face.”

Bloomington opens Culver’s on Third Street after 4 years

By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

The Culver’s Bloomington location opening has been a long time coming, and people were eager for it. At noon Nov. 5, the line inside was about 20 people long and the line of cars almost spilt onto the street from the drive thru.

Marketing Coordinator Ashton Bosstick said this was actually the slowest it had been so far. She said there were 400 customers just in the first 35 minutes. The first 400 customers each received a coupon book that gives them a free meal each month for a year starting in January 2019.

Owner John Laskowski said when he arrived at 8 a.m. there was already a line of 100 people, and one person told Laskowski he got there at 3 a.m. He brewed coffee for those waiting, and the restaurant opened at 9:45 a.m., 15 minutes earlier than scheduled.

Culver’s is a Wisconsinbased fast food chain with about 670 locations. The Bloomington location is on West Third Street.

Laskowski first tried it in 1996 when he was in Wisconsin at an IU alumni camp.

“I drove over to Sheboygan to play golf and I drove by this restaurant that said ButterBurgers and frozen custard, and I’d never heard of such a thing and it was a Culver’s,” Laskowski said. “So I pulled in and man it was a great burger and the shakes were terrific.”

Culver’s calls their burgers ButterBurgers because the buns are lightly buttered with Wisconsin butter.

Along with ButterBurgers and fries, Culver’s serves various flavors of frozen custard and concrete mixers, which is custard with candy mixed it.

Jaydon Hoffman, an Ivy Tech Community College Bloomington student, brought his friend Carlie Bell for her first Culver’s experience.

Hoffman has visited another Culver’s before and liked it.

They knew about the opening because they saw the sign for it while driving by and decided to come because people were talking about it.

“I’ve always heard people talking about it, how everyone’s always wanted a Culver’s here, and we finally got one,” Hoffman said.

They both got the double ButterBurger.

Laskowski said the process

to open a Culver’s here has been long and hard but worth it.

“I started looking for land in October of 2014, so it will be a four year endeavour to get open,” he said.

He said the difficulty was getting the necessary permits and zoning requirements to make the parking lot and drive-thru functional.

Laskowski was on the basketball team during his time at IU. Known as the Super Sub, he played for former coach Bob Knight from 1971 to 1975.

The Culver’s building, at 1918 W. Third St., uses the signature blue hues of all Culver’s locations but still bleeds cream and crimson. The IU logo stands in the landscaping outside and IU memorabilia hangs prominently on a wall inside.

Displayed is Laskowski’s Indiana No. 31 jersey, a copy of the Sports Illustrated cover he was on as well as other Sports Illustrated covers that feature IU basketball and a framed copy of the current basketball roster.

While walking around and welcoming people to the restaurant, many people asked Laskowski for autographs and photographs. He said he had a feeling this was going to be the case and got special cards made for the occasion to sign and hand out.

“People can come in and talk about the old days of IU basketball,” he said. “I’ve been involved since 1971 and always like to talk about the current team and how we think they’re going to do.”

Even though he graduated from the Kelley School of Business, he never saw himself owning a business, but he loved Culver’s and decided he had to open one.

Laskowski had no idea how busy opening day was going to be but was really happy about the turnout so far.

He said for his Culver’s franchise training, he had to go to two other openings but neither of those was as busy as his location.

People were clearly hungry for a Culver’s, he said.

Laskowski said his career in sports plays a role in his job now because both require teamwork.

“I had a special job at IU, coming off the bench and trying to spark the team and the same is true here,” he said.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Hoosiers beat Panthers despite late scare

By Stefan Krajisnik stefkraj@iu.edu | @skrajisnik3

With the 2018 WNIT Championship banner hanging in the south end of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, IU women’s basketball tipped off its season against a familiar, but differently built, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee team.

The Panthers lost to the Hoosiers in the second round of the WNIT last season, but lost its top-three scorers from last season while bringing in five freshmen.

The new lineup created more problems for the Hoosiers this time around as the game came down to the wire with IU winning 68-66.

“They came back with a little bit of a chip on their should,” junior forward Brenna Wise said. “A win is a win at the end of the day.”

With less than five minutes remaining in the game, IU was able to pull out to a nine-point lead.

However, Milwaukee fought back to tie the game at 63 and eventually take a onepoint lead with 1:36 remaining in the game.

Following the Milwaukee basket, IU Coach Teri Moren called a time out and drew up a play that resulted in Wise hitting a jump shot just outside the paint to give IU a lead it would not let go.

“There were a couple of options out of that,” Wise said. “We’re not just looking for one thing, because it depends on the defense.”

IU focused on preparing for a zone defense throughout practice, but Milwaukee did not show it until the latter stages of the game. Junior guard Ali Patberg said the switch did catch the team off guard at first but the preparation helped the team adjust.

“It was really smart of Milwaukee to play a zone that late into the game,” Patberg said. “For a second it kind of got our offense a little

stagnant because we were pushing the tempo and really running with it.”

With Patberg leading the way, it was clear that IU was trying to continue the fastpaced offense that it had last season but also looked to be able to set up a play when necessary.

Moren said a large part of making the right decision in those circumstances comes from the relationship between her and Patberg.

“There’s two people that can’t have a bad night: the point guard and the coach,” Moren said. “She played through that, and I’m proud of her but not surprised by it. That’s just Ali Patberg being a competitor.”

Patberg ended the game with 16 points, just behind Wise who led the team with 17.

It was the first time seeing regular season game action in more than a year as both sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules.

The duo led the way for IU, as no other players registered double-digit points. In each of the first three quarters, IU struggled to get out to a quick start.

In the first five minutes of those quarters, IU combined for 17 points while scoring 32 points in the final five minutes of the quarters.

“We’re better when we

are running,” Moren said.

“In order for that to happen, we’ve got to come up with big stops. We didn’t do that as much as we would have liked to tonight.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Langford dominates in IU victory

By Ben Portnoy bmportno@iu.edu | bportnoy15

Romeo Langford’s first collegiate point was uneventful. It came on the back-end of two free throw attempts with 16:03 remaining in the first half.

His second, however, encapsulated what IU pundits and fans have expected from the high-flying freshman phenom since his April 30 commitment.

Fading behind the north basket at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, the New Albany, Indiana-native spotted up over his defender.

Rolling off his fingers with a silky smooth spin, the ball splashed through the netting.

A chorus of shrieks and yells followed the bucket. The crowd approved. Langford had arrived.

“It really was no pressure,” Langford said of his first regular season game at IU. “Emotions were high.”

In IU’s dominating 10455 win over Chicago State on Tuesday night, Langford was nearly flawless. The muchhyped freshman totaled 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting with four rebounds and three assists to boot.

Following his first bucket, Langford drained six shots over a four-minute stretch to grant IU some breathing room they would not relent.

ANNA TIPLICK | IDS

Freshman guard Romeo Langford breaks free to score Nov. 6 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. IU defeated Chicago State, 104-55.

“Romeo was the beneficiary of some good advance passes, across the floor, up the floor, and from that point forward he’s in his strength zone,” IU Coach Archie Miller said. “When he’s in transition, heading to the basket, you saw a guy really was efficient.”

As a team, Miller said he expects the Hoosiers to make their money at the rim. Langford was no exception to that game plan Tuesday night.

Whether it was in transition or out of half court sets, the former five-star recruit found himself gliding through the paint as multitudes of hapless Cougars defenders failed to impede his path.

Courtesy of a Zach McRoberts transition pass, Langford found himself fly-

ing through the open court 11 and a half minutes into the first half. Leaping from just inside the foul line, his midsection clocked the lone Chicago State defender in his path. With a finger roll and a whistle, Langford had the and-one as he coasted through the Indiana night.

“It’s just like everyone else’s impressions of him,” Chicago State Coach Lance Irvin said. “He can play. We all know that.”

That said, Langford’s first few minutes in the cream and crimson were passive. It took nearly four minutes for his first point to come. Langford made pass after pass, as he grew within the game.

Yet, Langford was quick to note it wasn’t trepidation that led to his quiet start, he

was simply adjusting to the flow.

“My job is to attack, and I was just attacking,” Langford said. “And people were getting on me and left my teammates open. And I was just making the right basketball play and let the game come to me.”

Miller doubled down on Langford’s sentiments.

“If you look at the first four minutes he probably had three to five passes, unselfish plays, on kickouts, drives to pass, looking for the bigs,” Miller said. “I thought he got off to a really good start passing the ball, which helped our team.”

The reigning Indiana Mr. Basketball’s debut wasn’t flawless. Langford totaled just two points, both on free throws, and finished 0-for-3 from the field in the second half. He also finished a meager 5-of-11 at the charity stripe.

But for a game against one of college basketball’s worst programs in which he didn’t play the final eight minutes of regulation, Langford did what he was and will be tasked with all season — making plays.

“To see the ball go through the net, that’s all I really need,” Langford said.

“I just need to see that first shot go down and it’s all good for me from there.”

3 things to know about Maryland

By Sean Mintert smintert@iu.edu | @sean_mintert20

Needing two wins in its final three games to reach a bowl game for the third time in four years, IU football’s matchup with Maryland is a must-win game.

The Terrapins come to Bloomington after losing two of their last three games, and they need a victory with two tough games approaching against Ohio State and Penn State.

Here are three key things to know about IU’s upcoming opponent.

1. THE TERRAPINS ARE ONE WIN AWAY FROM BOWL ELIGIBILITY Maryland will enter Saturday’s game with a 5-4 record, needing one more win from its final three games to attain bowl eligibility. With games against Ohio State and Penn State still on the horizon, this week presents the Terps’ best opportunity for that precious sixth win. After a disappointing performance in a 24-3 loss to Michigan State, Maryland will look to turn things around and keep its bowl hopes alive against IU. Maryland won’t be the only team playing for its postseason lives Saturday. IU comes into Saturday’s contest needing to win two of its last three games to reach a bowl.

After finishing 5-7 last season, Coach Tom Allen’s Hoosiers are looking to get back to the postseason for the first time in his tenure.

Saturday’s game is virtually a must-win for IU considering games at No. 4 Michigan and at home against Purdue remain on the schedule.

2. MARYLAND’S OFFENSE RELIES HEAVILY ON ITS RUNNING GAME. While many teams may stress the need for a balanced offense to keep defenses on their toes, that certainly isn’t the case for Coach Matt Canada and the Terrapins.

The Terps average more than 220 yards per game on the ground, while only picking up 125 yards per game through the air.

Leading this proficient rushing attack are running backs senior Ty Johnson and freshman Anthony McFarland. Johnson is the regular starter for the Terps and has racked up 468 yards this season along with finding the end zone three times.

Johnson did miss Maryland’s game against Michigan State with a calf strain, and he’ll be a game-time decision Saturday.

McFarland is in his first full season for Maryland after redshirting last year, and he’s immediately become a key part of its offense. Through

SAM HOUSE | IDS

Freshman running back Stevie Scott starts to stand up after stretching for a touchdown during IU’s game against Penn State on Oct. 20 at Memorial Stadium. Coming off a bye week, IU will play at home against Maryland on Saturday.

the first nine games of the season, McFarland is averaging 6.9 yards per rush and leads the team in carries so far. The combination of Johnson and McFarland is the most efficient part of Maryland’s offense, and the IU run defense will need to have one of its better games in order to slow the tandem down.

3. MARYLAND HAS DOMINATED TEAMS IN THE LOWER HALF OF THE BIG TEN. Through six conference games, Maryland holds a record of 3-3. Maryland’s three wins against Minnesota, Rutgers and Illinois have come by an average of 27.7 points, while the three losses against Michigan, Iowa and

Michigan State have all been blowouts, with Maryland losing by an average of 21.7 points. Maryland’s inconsistency was highlighted in the last three weeks, as the Terps bookended a blowout win over Illinois with lopsided defeats against Iowa and Michigan State.

The combined win-loss record of the three Big Ten teams that Maryland has beaten is 3-15. With IU currently sitting at 1-5 in conference, the Hoosiers are exactly the kind of team that Maryland has beaten this season.

It’ll take a strong effort on both sides of the ball to ensure IU isn’t one of the Big Ten bottom-feeders that Maryland has feasted on this season.

Ten-year-old Quentin Morris of Indianapolis plays the video game Fortnite on Nov. 4 at the Nocturnal 2018 esports tournament.

Esports gamers play in Nocturnal 2018 tournament

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

Quentin Morris adjusted his headphones with his left hand and clicked his mouse with his right.

He struggled to keep the headphones on his ears while trying to listen for his opponents and possible treasure chests in Fortnite.

While playing, Morris had to make a small jump to get out of his seat as his feet couldn’t reach the ground.

It’s what you’d expect from a 10-year-old kid.

Morris was one of the youngest participants in the inaugural Nocturnal esports tournament. There were 25 people in the Fortnite bracket while 32 other people played Soulcalibur VI at the historic Union 525 in downtown Indianapolis.

“I just wanted to see how good I was and see if I could get better,” Morris said.

Indianapolis might not be the most popular city for esports, but Nocturnal was another showcase of what esports have done to local communities in bringing more people together than most could have imagined.

“For us, it was a great opportunity to test the technology we’ve been working on and have a lot of fun,” McIntyre said. “There’s a lot of esports organizations in Indianapolis that are somewhat dispirit, and an event like this brings everyone together.”

Challonge, a tournament management technology company, put on the event Saturday afternoon with hopes to bring more people to the growing esports community.

Since 2009, it has put on more than 13.5 million tournaments in almost every country around the world.

Other companies that use Challonge are Capcom Pro Tour, Red Bull, USA Rugby and Monster Jam. Video Game Palooza partnered with Challonge to donate 10 percent of the ticket sales from the tournament toward their charity to help kids learn science, technology, education and math through video games.

“Right now, you’re looking at kids that are as young as 8 and as old as probably 50s,” Challonge CEO Matt McIntyre said. “You’ve got everybody. That’s what makes esports special because it gives everyone a chance to come together.”

The event offered not only the chance to play against strong competition but also play for cash prizes.

Sixteen of the 25 Fortnite players and eight of the 32 Soulcalibur VI players were guaranteed to come away with a cash prize if they were able to make it to the later rounds of the tournament.

Some participants in the Soulcalibur VI tournament were playing the game for the first time. Despite the disadvantage compared to some of the seasoned players, 18-year-old Kansas McQueen from Indianapolis had enough experience in fighting games, in general, to put up a quality fight.

“I’ve never played any Soulcalibur game before, so I’ve been trying to be competitive since it came out, and I decided to come here to see what I could do,” McQueen said.

For kids like McQueen and Morris, the industry is only going to grow from here.

According to Newzoo, esports industry revenue is expected to hit $1.1 billion in 2019 and could reach up to $1.65 billion by 2021.

Morris said he hopes to grow up and become part of that industry like famous Fortnite streamer Ninja, who streams on multiple platforms and makes roughly $18 million per year from his viewership and endorsements.

Games like Fortnite have taken the world by storm, as it has quickly become one of the most popular esports and video games in the world. Nearly 80 million players logged in during the month of August.

“I like the possibility of 100 people getting into a game and how you can build anything,” Morris said. “It’s just so colorful, and you can do anything you want basically.”

“The one thing I would love to see change in politics is that it’s gotten way too nasty on both sides,” Braun talked about the idea that huge change could be on the way via the Republican Party.

Despite Liz Watson and Donnelly’s losses, Monroe County Democrats remained positive throughout the night, as they claimed more than 13 local offices.

Meditation promotes community wellness

By Lauren Fazekas lfazekas@email.edu

The lights of the BuskirkChumley Theater were set to a dim glow as Kat Forgacs, instructor and series organizer of “Being Bloomington: Being Peace” sat on the stage, still as a statue. Forgacs was preparing to begin an hourlong mediation session inside the theater’s main room for a handful of participants who came to find quiet reflection.

Once the clock hit noon, a few more people filtered into the darkened theater as Forgacs rang a small bell, signaling for the mediation session to begin. Forgacs welcomed everyone in and thanked them for coming together to create a community.

The Being Bloomington series started after the 2016 presidential elections to help the Bloomington community process their feelings, while finding a way to respond rather than react to the events happening at the time. Forgacs began organizing the “Being Bloomington: Being Peace” series after its original founders decided their involvement had run its course.

email exchange that we have is co-created,” Forgacs said.

“Something that we and the person on the other side of that exchange are creating together. All of our interpretations of our day, our world, and our experiences all come through our thoughts, feelings and emotions.”

Forgacs continued to say that taking these moments

we have as humans and just being is a really practical and beneficial opportunity to oneself, regardless of background, personality or spirituality.

Since June, “Being Bloomington: Being Peace” has invited different musicians of the community to share their talent during the meditation. This months’s

guests were Dena El Saffar and Tim Moore from Salaam, a band known for their traditional and original Middle Eastern music.

“Allow your attention to rest on the breath,” Forgacs said to the participants. “Soft and full, flowing gently all the way down to your abdomen and then gently releasing the breath when you’re ready.”

After a few more minutes of silence, El Saffar slowly began to drag a bow across her viola, playing the quiet opening notes to a melody that was accompanied by the soft beating of Moore’s frame drums. Their duet lasted throughout the entire hour of the meditation, drifting between El Saffar’s viola and oud, and Moore’s drums.

When Forgacs finally called for the end of the meditation, participants either quietly left or came up to the stage to chat for awhile.

“The music contributed quite a lot,” Jerry Miller said.

“I know these people are friends of mine so it had a personal connection. I feel way better than when I came in.”

Miller, said it means a lot to have people gathering like this. He said the inclusive atmosphere gave him a comfortable and optimistic feeling, and that having these kind of events do a lot of good.

“It was very powerful. It’s good to disconnect yourself from your daily life and just be yourself and recover your inner peace,” Yllari Briceño said. “Now in these times there are many social and political issues and people are always stressed out. They can come here and forget about those issues and just remember who they are.”

“Being Bloomington: Being Peace” is free and welcomes anyone to come as they are and stay as long as they need.

The next event will take place Jan. 2. at the BCT. More information about the series can be found on their Facebook page.

CULTURAL COMMENTS

Why 'Dear Abby’s' take on foreign names is insulting and dumb Christine Fernando is a junior in journalism and sociology.

Growing up, I hated my middle name. I hated teaching people how to pronounce it. I hated that it made me feel like an “other,” fundamentally different from my peers.

I remember a day in third grade when a couple of my white friends, who never meant any harm, found out how much I hated my middle name. Indulging in some friendly teasing, they wrote my middle name — Tharanga — all over the whiteboard in the front of the classroom. I remember staring up at it and feeling so small, so lost and so alone. In a class full of white people, my name made me different when all I wanted was a “Marie” or “Elizabeth,” something “normal.”

But my middle name is not Marie or Elizabeth. It’s Tharanga. In Sinhala, it means “wave” — usually an ocean wave, but my dad was thinking more along the lines of a sound wave. It just so happens that the ocean and music are on the list of things I love most. And now, after years of growth and acceptance, I can

add my middle name to that list, too.

This is why it stung when the famous advice column “Dear Abby” recently advised parents to avoid “foreign names."

My middle name is a way to connect with my identity as a Sri Lankan-American.

Young Christine may have felt shame for the smell of her food, the color of her skin, the way her parents struggled to make small talk with other cross-country parents.

But today I’m ashamed for not being able to write more than a handful of characters in Sinhala, for not being able to cook Sri Lankan food, for messing up traditions when visiting Sri Lanka.

It’s hard to connect to Sri Lankan culture in the United States, where even Asian campus organizations have no Sri Lankans, where there are no Sri Lankan clubs, where Sri Lankan dance isn’t represented among the campus dance groups, where I can’t just log into Netflix and find a section dedicated to my country. It’s easy to feel disconnected, but my name is a way to connect.

It’s a permanent marker of my identity.

Your name is also the first thing you use to introduce yourself. Being able to show your culture to someone in that way is a gift, not a curse.

"Dear Abby" claimed foreign names force children to constantly correct people’s pronunciation and fend off bullying. She says foreign names make it difficult for the child and the people around them. But making someone hide part of their identity to make things more convenient for you is disgusting. And to call someone’s name “grating” because it doesn’t fit your Western-centric norms is a shameful instance of oppressive, dangerous cultural imperialism.

We should never have to change our names to be accepted or to be palatable to white people, and we should never have to bend to white norms in order to be considered American.

And it’s not hard to learn to pronounce someone’s name. Immigrants may be just as confused by American names, but they learn them.

They make an effort. They do the work. Why can’t we all?

Parents who choose foreign names shouldn’t be

faulted for making life harder for their children. They’re not being mean and purposefully subjecting their children to teasing. They’re paying homage to where they came from, trying to preserve a part of their culture and heritage that is always threatened to be washed away.

When you ask a parent to rethink their child’s “foreign name,” you're telling them to reject their culture, identity and tradition. You’re telling them to strip away part of themselves just so you don’t have to be bothered to learn.

Plus, the only reason a non-Western name causes children hardship is because of people like Jeanne Phillips, the writer behind the “Dear Abby” column, who perpetuate stigma against these names.

One of my biggest fears is that generation by generation Sri Lankan identity will filter out of my family narrative. So much of my parents’ Sri Lankan-ness has already been lost on me as I grow up in a different world from them. If I have children one day, they'll be even more removed from Sri Lankan culture. Their children, even more so. Eventu-

ally, maybe my great-grandchildren will take a 23andme DNA test and find out they’re a tad Sri Lankan, seeing it only as dinner table fodder and not a deep part of who they are.

I don’t want my family to lose touch of our Sri Lankan identity, and names are a way of preserving that. If I have children, I'd consider at least giving them Sri Lankan middle names. Maybe they’ll hold onto their identity a bit more, be reminded of where they come from whenever they

sign their full names.

A Sri Lankan name may complicate growing up in a world surrounded by people who don’t look like them or share their culture. But just the struggle to love their identity and name is valuable in itself — something I wouldn’t trade for anything and something that has allowed me to appreciate my identity even more when I finally learned to embrace it. ctfernan@iu.edu

OPINION

Thursday, Nov. 8, 2018 idsnews.com

Editors Emma Getz and Ethan Smith opinion@idsnews.com

EDITORIAL BOARD

It is time for Indiana to pass hate crime legislation With the recent massacre of 11 Jewish worshippers in Pittsburgh late last month, new attention has been drawn to the increase of antiSemitism across the U.S. According to the AntiDefamation League, incidents associated with antiSemitism have increased by 57 percent over the past two years. Indiana has also experienced a sharp increase in anti-Semitism incidents, including the vandalization of a synagogue in Carmel, Indiana, July of this year.

Despite the growth of threats like anti-Semitism, however, Indiana remains one of only five states in the United States without hate crime legislation, and it is time for that to change.

Hate crime legislation has been heavily debated in the Indiana General Assembly for several years, with many Republican and Democratic officials now calling for its approval. During the most recent legislative session, hate crime legislation was introduced by Sen. Susan Glick, R-LaGrange, as Senate Bill 418, “Bias Motivated Crimes,” which ultimately died when it failed to pass through the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Similar to previous years’ efforts, SB 418 proposed allowing judges to grant longer

ILLUSTRATION BY KENDRA WILSON | IDS

sentences to criminals whose offenses were committed out of bias against the victim’s racial, religious, gender or sexual identity.

While a small portion of debate on the bill concerned whether or not Indiana should allow such legislation, the majority of discussion focused exclusively on the language of the bill and its

potential implications.

This is in part because although Indiana does not currently have hate crime legislation, it does have Indiana Supreme Court precedent via Witmer v. State of Indiana, which already permits increased sentences in cases of bias-motivated crimes.

With this in mind, the question surrounding hate

crime legislation in Indiana changes from “Should we allow increased sentences for bias-motived crimes?” — we already do — to “Will we benefit from codifying this case precedent into law?” And the answer to that is yes.

To put it rather simply, Hoosiers can do better, and they know it. A recent IndyStar poll shows that roughly

two-thirds of Indiana residents are in favor of hate crime legislation, and there are plenty of reasons to be.

Not only can this type of legislation function as a deterrent against future bias-motivated crimes, but it attracts businesses and talented workers, too.

Indiana has consistently been one of the best states

in the country to do business in. However, our lack of hate crime legislation may be driving businesses and talented workers away.

After a Carmel synagogue was vandalized with antisemitic symbols this summer, business leaders from across Indiana authored an op-ed in the IndyStar calling for hate crimes legislation.

The authors asserted that such legislation is necessary to attract businesses and talented workers to Indiana while ensuring the ones we already have are here to stay.

Gov. Holcomb also recently joined the call for action, explaining that he supports hate crime legislation and hopes to see the Indiana General Assembly do the same during the next legislative session.

Indiana has a long, wellearned reputation for Hoosier hospitality, but that hospitality isn’t genuine unless it’s extended to everyone.

This is why hate crime legislation needs to be a priority for Indiana in the coming year. By protecting all the diverse members of Indiana, we foster an environment of economic, cultural and individual growth. Hate crime legislation is pro-diversity, pro-business and pro-Hoosier.

NOBODY ASKED ME, BUT…

HENLEY’S HOT TAKE

What it feels like to be Jewish right now

Voter suppression still keeping minorities from the polls

Anne Anderson is a senior in international law.

In wake of the malicious attack at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, I have felt many things. These feelings are nothing I haven’t felt before but as time passed have become more frequent.

Late my sophomore year of college, I was assigned a project for one of my classes that involved me interviewing family members and researching their lineage. I chose my mom because she was adopted young, and we never really knew her biological family.

During the process of this interview, I found out my great-great grandparents were immigrants from Germany who were Jewish. My mom is Jewish by lineage and this sparked me learning about the Jewish faith and community.

While I was not raised Jewish, so I do not share certain memories and traditions with the rest of my community, I do feel strong ties to this piece of my family and myself, and my fellow Jews. I am learning what it means to be a Jew every day.

But these days, with all the anti-Semitism happening, this is how it feels to be a Jew. How it feels to be Jewish right now is tense.

It is utterly terrifying that people are murdered in cold blood just for being Jewish. A part of me I cannot change, nor want to, angers people to the point of terrorism. It feels so crushing to think people who have never met me, my Rabbi or my Jewish friends might want to hurt us.

I think every day now about Hillel, a Jewish center

Carson Henley is a sophomore in media.

ILLUSTRATION BY ANNE ANDERSON | IDS

on campus, where I have spent so many great Shabbats and celebrations with my Jewish family. I think about the people in there that gave me opportunities and fostered my growth as a Jew, who made me want to stay connected to this part of me. And I think about losing them to a hateful crime.

It feels somber to be Jewish right now.

I remember during my trip to Israel sitting with my friends in the middle of the desert and reflecting with everyone how this experience had made us all closer and helped us all understand our roles better. We reflected how everywhere, Jewish people always struggle no matter how much we have struggled in the past.

As the majority of us were students at IU, we also reflected on the anti-

Semitic things we have seen on campus or even experienced. Most of us recalled a swastika etched on the backs of bathroom doors or study desks, even incidents on websites involving slurs.

There is even a preacher on campus who openly makes derogatory statements about Jewish people.

It feels so frustrating to be Jewish right now.

We discussed the horrid empty feeling in our stomachs we felt when we read these anti-Semitic comments or experienced these events, even if it only lasted a second. Sometimes you ignore it and scoff, because it’s lame and annoying to scratch a swastika into anything. But there is always that twinge in the back of your mind that makes you wonder what you have done to deserve such disrespect.

It feels so vulnerable to be Jewish right now.

Yet beyond all of the grief and fear, if I know one thing it is that Jewish people are resilient. We are hopeful and kind, like the nurse who treated the suspected Pittsburgh shooter who threatens her very existence. We are strong and determined.

The nurse who treated the shooter said in an interview with Time that the nurse “felt the best way to honor his victims was for a Jew to prove him wrong.” For me, being a Jew means that I am supposed to leave this world better than I found it. I hope to honor that too.

It feels hopeful to be Jewish right now.

It feels wonderful to be a Jew. I always feel proud to be a Jew. anneande@iu.edu

With Election Day just finished Tuesday, Americans who did not vote early went to the polls and cast their ballots. But many voters faced difficulties in voting, even if they were eligible, registered beforehand and follow all the rules.

Shelby County v. Holder was a 2013 Supreme Court Case which found Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act to be unconstitutional. The Justice Department no longer has to approve states’ changes to their voting laws as a result of this decision.

A report on minority voting rights access in the U.S. was issued by the federal Commission on Civil Rights in September. The commission found that in the past five years since the decision, “newly restrictive statewide voter laws” have been passed in at least 23 states.

These sort of laws include closing polling places, cutting early voting, purging potentially ineligible voters from electoral rolls and imposing stricter voter ID laws.

The commission’s report found 61 lawsuits had been filed against states’ voting laws.

“This level of ongoing discrimination confirms what was true before 1965, when the Voting Rights Act became law, and has remained true since 1965: Americans need strong and effective federal protections to guarantee that ours is a real democracy,” said Commission Chair Catherine Lhamon to CNN. It’s no secret that this sort of disenfranchisement disproportionately affects minority voters. Voter suppression is not a bipartisan effort. Between gerrymandering, strict voter ID laws and the attempted cancellation of voter registrations under Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp in Georgia, it’s clear that this issue falls along party lines.

Before the Voting Rights Act, those who could not prove that they had completed a certain level of education had to pass purposefully confusing literacy tests. If they could not answer every question correctly in 10 minutes, they could not vote. The practice affected poor white voters, but disproportion-

ately disenfranchised black voters.

Today, we have voter ID laws as a means of disenfranchisement. The requirements for government issued IDs do not account for the fact that many eligible voters do not have IDs that meet the standards or the paperwork to secure IDs that do. More often than not, these people are low-income, elderly, people of color and/or have disabilities.

The suppression of these voices is not coincidental.

The same goes for the closing of polling locations.

Many voters end up much farther from their polling locations as a result of these closures. Not everyone can travel the distance or wait at more overcrowded polls, which once again, disproportionately affects the aforementioned demographics.

Voter suppression silences minorities and skews election results. Its history is a despicable one of pure racism. This history is still unfolding today.

We must stop and consider that we overruled a part of our Voting Rights Act without doing anything to replace those protections.

The federal Commission on Civil Rights has advocated that Congress “provide a streamlined remedy to review certain changes with known risks of discrimination before they take effect — not after potentially tainted elections.”

While a Supreme Court ruling cannot quickly be undone, change must happen somewhere. State governments are too partisan to legislate voting laws independently. Disenfranchisement becomes law too easily without review.

The reality of discrimination in America today is often lost on the more privileged among us. We must stop and let it sink in that in the U.S., in 2018, laws exist to prevent people from voting based on the color of their skin or economic status. They may not be as explicit as they once were, but their intent has not changed.

Discrimination is alive and well, masquerading as bureaucracy and perhaps most frighteningly, protection of our democracy. ehenley@iu.edu

CALIE’S CALL

Ariana Grande loves and learns on newest single 'thank u, next' Calie Schepp is a junior in journalism.

If you’ve been on the internet at least once in 2018, you’d know that Ariana Grande had an eventful year.

She released an incredible album, started dating, got engaged to and then broke up with Pete Davidson, and mourned the loss of her ex Mac Miller after his tragic passing. And not to mention, she’s fighting a constant battle with anxiety and depression, which she’s been vocal about in interviews as of late and in songs on “Sweetener.”

She said it stems from the Manchester attack where a bomb went off and killed 22 concert goers, among other factors.

Considering the trials and tribulations a star of her stature has to go through on a daily basis, you’d think Grande would’ve had enough. She would’ve taken some serious time off, gone into hiding and sheltered herself from the public scrutiny that must permeate her phone every time she checks social media.

But no, instead she has risen from the ashes yet again and come out with a fresh new track that speaks volumes to the woman she is today and the woman — and ex-boyfriends — she’s leaving behind.

The song, titled “thank u, next,” is catchy and ethereal. Its sound is similar to the pop ballads of her latest album, "Sweetener," and the subject is a heartfelt ode to the boys who are no longer a

It’s somewhat of a more upbeat continuation of “Better Off.” I am a fan of Grande and her sarcastic, straightforward personality. But when I first saw the title of the new

song, I was immediately worried, and the fact that she released it 30 minutes before Saturday Night Live was about to air Saturday night didn’t ease my apprehension. Please don’t make this a diss track for Pete Davidson, I thought. We get it.

HARRY BLISS

But to my pleasant surprise, my ears were met with a refined yet straightforward break-up song, one that reflects on the past but is hopeful for the future.

She name drops some of her most prominent exboyfriends, like rapper Big Sean and of course David-

son, who she says she appreciates after all is said and done.

“One taught me love, one taught me patience and one taught me pain, now I’m so amazing,” she sings in a confident coo. The chorus repeats the title over and over, like a sass-filled send off to

her former lovers.

In the best verses of the song, Grande tells a love story that’s more dignified than any other. She says she’s “met someone else” referring to the stronger, smarter version of herself she’s recently pulled out from under all the pain and heartache.

She goes on to say that she’s taught herself how to live, love and feel again, all the things she’s alluding to not being able to have learned without the help of her exes.

Grande’s status as a mega superstar has given her the freedom to release timely singles like this right after she makes them. The stark relevancy of the lyrics make for a more enjoyable listen, as she’s turned yesterday's headlines into today's bop.

Upbeat breakup ballads have always had a special place in popular music.

From Taylor Swift's “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” to Kelly Clarkson's “Since U Been Gone” to P!nk's “U + Ur Hand,” there not only seems to be a pattern with the shortening of “you” but also a definitive stance for women to take back their dignity after a breakup.

And in Grande’s “thank u, next,” she shows she believes wholeheartedly in the power of self-love, growth and optimism.

She’s moving on, and never giving up. crschepp@iu.edu Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8 — Domestic bliss rises over the next year, with Jupiter in Sagittarius. Beautify your living spaces. Nurture your family with comfort food and love.
