Hoosiers shut out No. 18 U of L 3-0 By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

IU senior Jamie Vollmer had tried countless times this season, but it never worked like it did Tuesday night. Vollmer’s long throw-in found the head of IU freshman Grant Lillard, who scored the first goal in the 37th minute Tuesday night in No. 10 IU’s (7-1-3) 3-0 win against No. 18 Louisville (5-4-1). Vollmer started his run up from 10 to 15 yards out of bounds sprinting toward the touchline while clutching the ball between his hands. Vollmer raised the ball above his head and prepared to launch it into the center of the box. As the ball sailed through the night sky in Louisville, Ky., the jostling for position began inside the box. IU held an advantage, though. It had Lillard forcing himself into position to get a head on the ball. A head perched atop a body that altogether stands at 6 feet 4 inches while the tallest Louisville outfield player stands at only 6 feet. After Lillard positioned himself underneath the ball, he rose and headed the ball home for the match’s first goal in IU’s 3-0 win against Louisville. The goal would be the first of three to come from a cross but the only one to come from a throw-in. “We didn’t think they were a great team dealing with wide services,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “I thought they were very vulnerable.” Entering Tuesday, Vollmer, IU’s long throw specialist, had attempted that play many times, but never had he been credited with an assist for his efforts. “After trying so many of those it’s great to see one work,” Vollmer said. “We’ve been practicing them every day, so it was good to see (Lillard) get his head on it.” Vollmer’s long throw Tuesday earned him his third assist this season, which makes him the team assist leader for the time being. The goal was Lillard’s second this season and the first coming off his head. Just 1:30 into the second half, the pair almost did it again. This time Lillard’s header was saved in a diving effort by Louisville goalie Joachim Ball.

Eric Love, the director of the Office of Diversity Education, is leaving IU to accept an offer from the University of Notre Dame.

Love to leave IU Diversity educator accepts new position at Notre Dame By Neha Ramani nramani@indiana.edu | @neha_ramani

IU is losing its diversity education director Eric Love. For the better part of the past two decades, Love has been known widely as a staple in the advancement of campus diversity initiatives. Love will leave his position next month and depart for the University of Notre Dame. After 10 years as director of the Office of Diversity Education, Love said he will leave IU in mid-November to become the director of staff of Diversity and Inclusion at Notre Dame. Love said he was not seeking a new job but that Notre Dame approached him about a position at its campus. After Notre Dame made the offer, Love said he notified the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs, of which the ODE is a unit, to indicate he was willing to negotiate and discuss the issue in person. Love said a DEMA official responded by saying the position at Notre Dame is a great opportunity, thanking Love for his years of service but adding they didn’t want to stand in his way. “But no, they did not ask what the offer was from Notre Dame or what they could do to make me stay,” Love said. Love noted that he is looking forward to his new opportunity and that he has no hard feelings or bitterness toward IU or DEMA. Love added that he appreciates the autonomy DEMA has given him in his 10 years creating programming, like the Emergent Theater project, that isn’t directly related to his job description.

“I will definitely keep the door discuss various issues on campus,” he said. “He immediately helped arrange open to stay involved,” Love said.

Owner of be.CAUSE gallery Brianne Harness works on art for her shop. Harness said the gallery aims to make art affordable and give a portion of profits to charity.

Hidden in a quaint room above Soma and the Laughing Planet Café in downtown Bloomington is be.CAUSE, a relatively new art gallery with a goal to do more than sell overpriced paintings and attract high-end customers. In fact, be.CAUSE owner Brianne Harness said she opened this art gallery with the intention of giving back and helping artists of all ages around Bloomington. “I try to make everything super affordable because I think it’s crazy that art is thousands of dollars,” Harness said. “I want everything to be affordable for students and everyone in general. I try to work with each customer to find something that works for them.” Harness said the art she sells costs a reasonable amount, and 10 percent of art sale profits are given to various charities. Harness is a three-time cancer survivor and said she wanted to find a way to combine nonprofits into a business. SEE GALLERY, PAGE 6

District 4 candidates talk minimum wage By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyernsberger

During his addresses last week at Northwestern University and Millennium Steel Services in Princeton, Ind., President Obama pushed for many economic policy changes he would like to see enacted to help Americans fully recover from the Great Recession. The policy he most emphasized was raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour. An increase in the minimum wage has already helped millions of Americans living in states who have increased their respective minimum wages, but 21 million other people would benefit from a federal wage increase, Obama said during his visit to Millennium Steel. “We should be raising the minimum wage to make sure that more workers, if they’re working

full-time, shouldn’t be living in poverty,” he said in his speech Friday. Raising the minimum wage is an John Dale, D issue that divides candidates for U.S. representative in Indiana’s fourth district. Rep. Todd Rokita, R-District 4, could not be Todd reached for com- Rokita, R ment. However, in a weekly editorial report for his office published July 25, Rokita said raising the minimum wage would be detrimental to low-income workers’ jobs. “According to Census Bureau data, a significant number of low-wage workers are not in lowincome families,” Rokita wrote.
