Four days ago, a 7-1 IU team helped keep a 2-5 IUPUI squad stay in the game early. The two teams traded baskets through the first 16 minutes before the Hoosiers pulled away with a 13-0 run at the end of the half. The Hoosiers wouldn’t let the same thing happen Wednesday night against another in-state foe. The difference: no second chances. After losing the rebounding battle to IUPUI, IU made a point to box out an undersized IPFW team, small even compared to the guard-heavy IU team. IU secured the first five defensive rebounds of the game en route to a quick 12-4 lead. That lead was soon extended to 28-13. IU led by as many as 19 points in the first half on its way to a 80-37 win against IPFW at Assembly Hall. “I think (rebounding) is an emphasis for us every single game,” freshman forward Amanda Cahill said. “Especially since sometimes we’re going to be the smaller team we need to make sure we get our box outs and crash the offensive boards.” The Hoosiers outrebounded the Mastodons 52-28, including 19 offensive boards. Getting second chances on offense is something IU Coach Teri Moren looked to emphasize after IUPUI did the same to IU on Sunday. IU turned those rebounds into 22 second-chance points. Coming into the game, IPFW was averaging 73 points per game. Wednesday, the Mastodons had just 37 points on 14-of-54 shooting. They shot 12 percent from 3-point range. Despite the best defensive performance of the season for IU statistically, Moren wasn’t satisfied with her team’s effort early in the game. “I thought we looked particularly sluggish in the first half,” Moren said. “We were just late. We were a step late in everything we did tonight.” In the final period, the Hoosiers responded. They had eight of their 14 steals in the second half, including four from freshman guard Tyra Buss. Steals and forced turnovers led to a more efficient offense. The Hoosiers opened the second half on an 18-4 run to take a commanding 54-26 lead. Sophomore guard Karlee McBride and freshman guard Jess Walter, who have seen an increase in minutes off the bench, provided a spark for IU in the second half.

IU-Bloomington students can now apply to use their preferred name on their university identification cards, according to a Dec. 10 press release from IU. The switch from using a person’s legal name on IDs to giving students an option is an effort to support transgender students who use a name other than their legal name, according to the release. The change has already started by University Information Technology Services, who implemented an upgrade to IU’s Information System software this past weekend. Students who currently have a preferred name in IU’s central database can purchase a new card this week from card services. Any student who currently has their legal name in IU’s central database and wishes to use their preferred name must first update their information in the database and then wait 24 hours before going to card services for a new card, according to the University. The effort was pushed through by a resolution from the IU Student Association, the Graduate and Professional Student Organization and the Residence Halls Association. The resolution was passed by

City council delays food truck vote again, will vote next year By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana | @emilyernsberger

For the second consecutive meeting, the Bloomington City Council chose to postpone voting on a new ordinance regulating food trucks and mobile food vendors. With support from the administration, the council unanimously voted to delay voting on the ordinance until the first quarter of next year. “I feel very strongly that there are additional issues that have arisen during this discussion that are sort of are beyond what even staff could have foreseen,” council member Andy Ruff said after motioning to defer the vote. Food vendors attending the meeting sat silent, even after two proposals of public comment. Delaying the vote causes a restart of legislation with introductory first readings, subsequent meetings and a new ordinance number, council president Darryl Neher said. The ordinance creates operating rules for food trucks and mobile vendors working in the city. Under the ordinance, they may not operate less than 50 feet from the facade or outdoor seating of a brick-and-mortar

restaurant. They cannot park in city spots without permission from the Board of Public Works and are prohibited from operating on the B-Line Trail. These businesses may operate 24 hours a day on private property. They are prohibited from operating on public property between 4:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. and would be enforced with all other rules by officers hired by the city. “There were a variety of amendments that many members wanted to introduce,” council member Stephen Vollo said in expressing agreement to delay the vote. Those amendments include creating regulations for the food trucks and mobile vendors to abide by sound ordinances, specifically how loud the vendors’ generators would be allowed to run. At previous meetings, it was proposed that generators be no louder than 70 decibels at four feet, but was rejected after the council could not agree on whether or not that was an acceptable level of sound. “I would like to explore the idea of pods,” council member Susan Sandberg said in reference to public areas where all food trucks could be SEE FOOD TRUCK, PAGE 6

MEN’S TENNIS

IU hires new men’s tennis coach From IDS reports

Less than three weeks after IU dismissed former men’s tennis coach Randy Bloemendaal for NCAA and Department of Athletics violations, IU has found its replacement in Jeremy Wurtzman. IU Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass announced Wurtzman’s hiring as the 15th head coach in IU men’s tennis program history Wednesday. Wurtzman, a native of Rochester, N.Y., is a former Ohio State player and spent last year as an associate head coach at Michigan, where he led the Wolverines to a 16-13 record and an NCAA Tournament appearance. “I feel very fortunate and honored to lead this team,” Wurtzman said in an IU release. “I think Indiana is an elite academic and athletic institution and I look forward to continuing the tradition it has. Having played in the Big Ten, it has always been a dream of mine to be a head coach in the Big Ten and I’m eager to get started and build this program in the years to come.” Wurtzman, 31, was named the 2013 Western Athletic Conference
