Singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson is making a stop on her “Lights Out” tour 8 p.m. Thursday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

Michaelson will be performing along with special guest Chris Koza as part of the MOKB Sun King Concert Series.

“Lights Out” is Michaelson’s fifth studio album, which was released in April.

According to the show’s press release, Michaelson collaborated with numerous songwriters and producers for this album as opposed to working with just one producer in the past.

The album was recorded in New York City, Los Angeles and Nashville, Tenn., featuring six producers and 10 co-writers including singersongwriters Mat Kearney and A Great Big World.

“The album builds into intensity but is anchored by the swelling popaffirmation ‘Time Machine’ and the sweetly buoyant ‘Girls Chase Boys,’” according to MOKB’s press release.

Michaelson’s other records have all been written by her.

She started out composing her own songs and co-releasing her albums, and she promoted herself on MySpace before she was discovered.

“I’ve been such a control freak about my songs,” Michaelson told MOKB. “But if you can get with the right person, there are ideas you could never come up with.”

Michaelson’s show at the Buskirk-Chumley will be slightly different from typical concert performances.

Josh Baker, owner of Do317 Lounge in Indianapolis and presenter of the MOKB Concert Series, said Michaelson’s performance is going to consist of a lot of acoustical performances and arrangements.

“It’s called ‘strip,’” Baker said. “So it’s a strip down instrument performance of her most popular songs.”

Also featured at the concert will be Chris Koza opening for Michaelson.

He will mainly be playing tracks from his new album “In Real Time.”

Koza said in an email that it will be a duo performance with acoustic and electric guitar as well as some harmonica and underwater vocals.

His album was inspired from spending time touring on the road and playing music.

‘BROTHER’ After growing up in Lousiana, Michael Hunter has made a second home at IU

By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu | @grace_palmieri

At home, Michael Hunter is “brother.”

Home is his family’s onestory house, sitting at the end of a cul-de-sac in a neighborhood of Monroe, La. When Michael walks through the front door, he’s greeted by his three younger sisters, Jasmine, Maya and Jamie, and parents, Jackie and Michael Sr. Michael is the oldest of four and the only boy. His sisters look up to him for everything.

Six-year-old Jamie might not listen to her parents, but she’ll listen to brother.

She wants to play football just like Michael.

“I call him baby boy because he’s the only boy,” Jack-

ie said. “They call him brother because he’s the only brother.”

Michael rarely gets home these days. He’s spent the majority of the past four years in Bloomington, 683 miles from home.

The redshirt junior cornerback chose IU partly because it was something new, something different. He wanted to see what was out in the world, and in the process, he found a second home.

“The first year I was like, ‘I want to go home,’ but I got over that,” Hunter said. “I guess that’s just natural, being 11 hours from home and just missing people.” *** Three things were required in the Hunter household.

“You gotta go to church, you gotta go to school and he had to play some type of athletics,” Michael Sr. said.

Like most kids growing up in Louisiana, Hunter was a big LSU fan.

Hunter was only vaguely familiar with the Big Ten as a kid. Ohio State and Michigan would come on TV occasionally, but it was mostly teams from the Southeastern and Sunbelt conferences that he’d watch.

Knowing Michael might want to attend LSU one day, Michael Sr. often took his son to games.

Hunter was always involved in sports. He played basketball and ran track at West Monroe High School.

Hunter didn’t start playing football until junior high and

didn’t become a cornerback until sophomore year of high school.

He fell in love with defense. He loved the spotlight.

“You’re on an island out there,” Hunter said. “They either love you or they hate you at the end of the day. You just have to keep a sound mind.”

Hunter had several family members who played college sports, including his dad, who played basketball at Grambling State University. He’s the head coach at West Monroe High. Michael Sr. was also his son’s coach. He was at every game, there for every big moment.

That changed when IU called.

Rainbow note cards speckled the walls of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services office Wednesday afternoon on the center’s 20th birthday.

The cards gave thanks for all the work the office has done for the betterment of LGBT people, wishes for a successful future and memories of the office as a home and safe place.

To celebrate the anniversary, the office hosted an array of speakers, including Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan, Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs James Wimbush, Chief of Staff of the Office of the President Karen Adams, Dean of Students Harold ‘Pete’ Goldsmith, Chancellor Emeritus Ken Gros Luis and several other campus leaders.

They told stories, ate snacks and laughed about their memories of the office.

“We want to fill the walls with good memories,” Director of the GLBTSSS Doug Bauder said.

Two decades ago when the office opened, it was just one room at its current location, which was then the office of student ethics and anti-harassment. It was then known as the GLB office, representing only gay, lesbian and bisexual people,

The Bloomington City Council discussed two ordinances Wednesday that could change requirements for mobile businesses, including food trucks, in the downtown area.

The ordinances requested the council to remove current titles in the Bloomington Municipal Code and add regulations for solicitors, mobile food vendors and pushcarts.

The new regulations would restrict where solicitors, food trucks and pushcarts can operate.

Assistant City Attorney Patty Mulvihill said this ordinance comes after 18 months of discussion with the Department of Economic and Sustainable Development and business owners. Mulvihill said the new revisions to the Bloomington Municipal Code was difficult to make pleasing to both businesses and the city.

“We had no hope in making one group or person unhappy,” Mulvihill said.

The old ordinance requires the businesses to have merchant and temporary operating permits that

took too much time and caused businesses to pay multiple fines to receive the permits, Mulvihill said.

According to the new regulations, no more than four food trucks and 12 pushcarts would be allowed on the Courthouse square.

No more than five food trucks and 10 pushcarts could be located between the Courthouse square and the Sample Gates.

Mobile food vendors would also be restricted to operating in commercial zones and would have to be located at least 50 feet away from the facade of a building where food and beverages are sold.

Solicitors cannot operate from dusk to 8 a.m. Food trucks and pushcarts cannot operate between 4 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.

Businesses are also required to abide by the city’s noise ordinance.

Many questions from the council regarded complaints about businesses that may violate it by playing music or running a generator. They are also required to provide trash and recycling receptacles.

Trustees meet about funding renovations From IDS reports

A special meeting of the Board of Trustees took place Wednesday.

Only the Finance, Audit and Strategic Planning Committee met in Indianapolis to review a resolution to issue student fee bonds to fund the construction and renovation of two buildings on IU’s campuses.

The bonds will be issued for the renovations currently underway at Franklin Hall on the IU-Bloomington campus and also for IU Northwest’s construction of an arts and science building.

Don Lukes, the associate vice president and associate treasurer in the IU Office of the Treasurer, presented the review of the resolution for the student fee bonds.

“In essence, tuition or fees could be used to pay the debt service on student fee bonds,” Lukes said. “In this case, and in some cases, the state will

provide funding to support the debt service on the bonds.”

In total, both buildings are estimated to cost $66 million to complete, with Franklin Hall costing about $21 million, Lukes said.

“We’re using the bond issue to provide the cash to pay for the projects,” he said.

The meeting, which was not part of the trustees’ regular schedule, commenced because of historically low interest rates for bonds, Luke said.

Lukes said, with the special meeting, they will be able to price the bonds before the new year. Their current target date is Dec. 8.

“If we had waited for the regular board of trustees meeting in December, it would have been difficult to get the bonds priced before the holiday break,” Lukes said.

“We probably would have had to wait until January.”

IU quidditch team qualifies for World Cup

By Katie Chrisco kchrisco@ius.edu

IU’s quidditch team, the Midnight Snipes, has made a fictional sport reality. While competing during last week’s Midwest Regional Championship, the team earned its bid to the International Quidditch Association’s World Cup, which will take place in April 2015 in Rock Hill, S.C. The quidditch team became an official IU club sport in September.

Quidditch was adapted from the Harry Potter series, but “it has kind of become its own thing,” Co-president and IU senior Caroline Alexander said. IU senior Tisha Burks is co-president with Alexander.

The rules of the game largely follow those in the books. Brooms are used, but they serve as more of a handicap than anything else, Alexander said. Quidditch is a fullcontact sport and takes place year round.

IU graduate Emily Deckard founded the Midnight Snipes about four years ago. Alexander said the team started out as a fun way to meet new people that shared similar interests.

“When we started out there were about 11 of us, and we couldn’t even throw or catch a ball when we were moving with one hand,” Alexander said. “It has slowly evolved to become a more competitive sport.”

Alexander and team captain Corey Cockrum were excited about the success of the team this year.

“The season has gone really well,” Cockrum, a junior, said. “At the Midwest tournament, our only losses were to the two final four teams, and we were really happy about

that.”

The team’s qualification for the World Cup came as a surprise for some.

“No one expected us to win anything this year — which was kind of cool to come out and prove them wrong,” Alexander said.

The team is now focusing on getting ready for the World Cup. Alexander said the team is beginning to increase both the intensity and number of its workouts and practices.

Cockrum said the team works out four times a week in addition to skills training.

Practices are every Sunday at 1:30 p.m. on the field between the Jordan Parking Garage and Wright Quad.

One of the main things that the team is doing in preparation for the World Cup is fundraising, Alexander said.

“Getting there, staying in hotels, paying for food and everything. It adds up pretty quick,” she said. Alexander said the team plans on having meetings to brainstorm ideas for fundraising.

Cockrum and Alexander both have experience playing sports and said they are glad to have found a team that plays competitively and allows for opportunities to maintain friendships.

“The community as a whole is so caring, and we all really care about the sport,” Cockrum said. He said another reason Quidditch is so unusual is because rivalries aren’t really a factor. Teams are able to spend time together without resentment, making it very different from most sports, Cockrum said.

“We can go and have fun and meet a lot of really cool people and play this new sport and make contributions to the sport,” Alexander said.

University of London professor Nadje Al-Ali speaks about gender-based violence in Iraq on Tuesday at the Center for the Study of the Middle East.

Professor discusses violence in Iraq

By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali

The extremist terrorist group causing corruption and havoc throughout the Middle East, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, has allowed the issue of gender-based violence to become normalized from its birth in the 2013 invasion of Iraq.

On Wednesday, Nadje Al-Ali, professor of gender studies at the University of London, led a discussion entitled “Beyond ISIS: Gender-Based Violence in Iraq” at the Center for Middle East Studies.

The discussion addressed the pressing issue of gender-based violence as well as violence against religious and ethnic minorities in ISIS in Iraq.

Nadje Al-Ali is author of the book “We Are Iraqis: Aesthetics and Politics in a Time of War.” The book showcases a variety of written and visual contribu-

tions by Iraqi artists, writers, poets and other kinds of artistic activists.

Contributors explore the way Iraqis preserve and generate art and activism as forms of coping mechanisms, in addition to resisting calamity and destruction in the world around them.

“Sexualized violence is a dehumanizing device,” AlAli said.

Al-Ali’s main research interests include gender theory, feminist activism, women and gender issues in the Middle East, transnational migration and diaspora mobilization, in addition to war, conflict and reconstruction.

There were 20 people in attendance at the lunch and lecture event. This was free and open to all majors and the public.

The discussion was centralized around the issue of women and gender-based violence and how the governments’ use of censured

propaganda is a means of covering up this pressing concern.

Sexual violence, in particular, was broken down into three forms. The first form was private, usually domestic violence behind closed doors of the home.

The next form was a systematic approach associated and justified as part of warfare. The final and most demanding form is doctrine-justified.

This form brings in a higher, religious force making it seem that sexual- and gender-based violence are commanded upon its followers and have a sacred obligation to be part of society.

“The question I always ask myself is, ‘How do we engage in some form of solidarity?’” Al-Ali said.

The push for military intervention in Iraq seems to be the only possible answer to this question, Al-Ali said.

She is troubled by the hypocrisy found in many gen-

der-equality-based groups that haven’t made an active effort to stand up against this violence so far.

With her belief of media sensationalism of genderbased violence, Al-Ali said she believes it is imperative to contain ISIS and maintain efforts against its personal works. In times of war, national security takes precedent over humanitarian security. With this shift, women’s rights are almost always the first thing to leave the table, she said.

“ISIS is a symptom of a larger disease,” Al-Ali said.

“This disease is sexualized violence.”

To make a difference, there has to be an active civil society in conjunction with women in leadership positions, she said. With this balance, Al-Ali said there can be a drop in this revolution of violence.

“We can’t allow the norm to be women making the tea and the men making the decisions,” Al-Ali said.

Council aims for sustainable campus

By Fiona Kelly fmkelly@indiana.edu

From proposals of solar picnic tables to the incorporation of a solar panel on the light tower by the IU Art Museum, the IU Student Sustainability Council has a growing agenda for sustainability on campus.

Founded in 2010, the SSC has grown to encompass more than 10 organizations and numerous independent students who wish to make a difference in sustainable living.

“The best thing about SSC is the networking,” said Ellie Symes, financial director for the SSC. “Students that come independently don’t usually stay independent very long. You will find a member organization you particularly like or some project to work on.”

Each semester, the SSC works to revitalize the program and encourage students to get involved in their efforts. “(We work on) creating behavior change on cam-

pus,” said Andrew Predmore, associate director for the Office of Sustainability.

“It’s about getting people to realize little things they can do day to day.”

The two primary ways in which the organization achieves this goal are through Sustain IU week and the Sustainability Fund. The fund is based on donations from students and seeks to make palpable improvements on campus to promote sustainability.

“It is a way for students to leave their mark on campus and show they care about sustainability,” Predmore said.

Already, the fund has been used to position motion-sensitive LED lights in Ballantine Hall. The $10,000 project significantly improves energy efficiency in the academic hall, which has a constant flow of students.

In an effort to increase involvement from students all around campus, the SSC is inviting students to submit proposals until Friday

as to how to spend the money in their fund. The proposals will then be reviewed by the council and chosen based on their potential for long-term success.

Symes said the council knew outside ideas were needed, so accepting applications from students on how to use the fund seemed like the perfect opportunity to get others involved.

“People working on these projects are really excited, and it gives them an opportunity to work together,” Symes said. “(The) person who wins it gets to take home that much more.”

With every registration, the council encourages more students to donate $5 to the fund. This way, other proposals will have the chance to be implemented in the future to make IU an environmentally conscious campus.

“My hope is that the project we choose is something very visible,” Symes said. “Hopefully it’s something that students can recognize, so that when stu-

dents walk by they realize what it is and donate next time they are registering for classes.”

So far, seven proposals have been brought to the table. Recent trends in sustainability seem to be a move toward solar power and other alternatives to energy efficiency. However, it is still not determined for sure what kind of proposal may pass.

“I’m interested to see what students end up thinking is the best,” Symes said.

The SSC will announce the chosen proposal before the end of the semester, and work will begin early next semester to make it a permanent part of IU’s sustainability efforts. The council hopes that, in seeing the completion of the project on campus, others will be motivated to live a more sustainable lifestyle as well.

“We need leadership in sustainability,” Predmore said. “Science and technology aren’t enough. We need society to accept this as everyone’s challenge.”

STRATEGY IN SAO PAOLO

Sexism in Brazil marks stark cultural difference with US It’s all the little things that build up over time.

The catcalls, the sexist jokes, the frequently patronizing tones. It’s not that these things don’t happen in the United States, it’s that they don’t happen as much.

After a late-night class, IU junior Jules Daugherty is sitting at the bar with her friend Lucas Saito Valeriano. A feminist rally is raging across the street, something very common at their rather liberal university in São Paulo, where Daugherty is studying abroad.

But even among the friends she’s made here, where the environment is so liberal, Jules gets tired of the underlying misogyny.

“Most men believe that they can’t be friends with women,” Valeriano said.

“In fact, about 99 percent of them believe that. If they’re talking to a girl, it’s most likely not for friendship.”

Jules said she often feels like her male friends treat her like a child. If she tells them her aspirations or academic interests, the response is something along the lines of, “That’s so cute.”

Sexism here has many of the same characteristics as it does in the U.S., only amplified.

Coming from IU, platonic relationships between males and females have al-

ways seemed normal.

Jules said she thinks she has just as many male friends as female friends in Indiana.

In Brazil, it’s possible to be friends with a man, but only if they see you as “one of the guys.”

While in the U.S. it’s still possible to have a friendship with a man and keep your femininity, here it’s almost as if women must act more masculine to be seen and respected as friends rather than sexual objects.

When it comes to sex, there is a double standard between men and women.

The more women a man sleeps with, the more respect he earns. But women who sleep with a lot of men are perceived as sluts.

It’s something that’s very familiar in the U.S. As American college students, we discuss the topic often.

Most of us agree that the double standard exists and is sexist.

The difference is a lack of a conversation. In Brazil, the topic is not up for debate.

The same can be said for catcalling and street harassment.

Being female and living in Brazil means catcalls and uncomfortable stares are something you expect every time you leave the house.

MARY KATHERINE WILDEMAN IDS

Jules Daugherty, an IU student studying abroad in Brazil, talks with Lucas Saito Valeriano on Wednesday at their university in São Paolo.

Most American women living in Brazil will tell you they don’t necessarily think Brazil is less safe or that they change their wardrobe in order to feel more secure, just that the constant stares and crude remarks get very old.

If you ask a Brazilian

man why he continues to harass women on the streets, he will likely tell you the catcalls should be taken as compliments.

Whether in the U.S. or in Brazil, they are a form of harassment. But in Brazil especially, the woman tends to be viewed as an object for

Finding homes for the holidays

By Brett Frieman bfrieman@indiana.edu | @brettfrieman

Every year, 3 to 4 million stray dogs, cats and other domestic animals are euthanized in the United States due to shelters reaching over capacity and being under stocked on supplies, according to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy.

City of Bloomington Animal Care and Control is going to great lengths in order to alleviate this issue during the holiday season.

Going on until the end of November, the shelter is promoting Adopt-a-Senior month. Older animals currently being cared for at the shelter can be adopted for half the normal price.

Laurie Ringquist, the shelter’s director, said this promotion is crucial due to the high volume of animals the organization constantly receives.

“Any animal that is five years or older we classify as a senior because we get so many younger animals,” Ringuist said. “Five isn’t really all that old, but with the large amount of senior animals the shelter receives we encourage people to adopt older pets.”

Ringquist, who has worked at the shelter for 11 years, said the organization

accepts all types of domestic animals, except livestock. These strays are usually brought in by residents who find them wandering around or retained by the shelter from tips received by phone.

The adoption fee for dogs and cats is $27.50 and for rabbits it is $22.50 up until the last day of November, respectively.

In addition to finding loving homes to accommodate for all of its animals, the shelter is also preparing to collect much-needed pet items.

Starting next week, the organization will begin its annual supply drive by equipping local businesses with decorated boxes to accept donations from local Hoosiers. Donation dropoff sites will include Kroger, Bloomingfoods and American Rental.

The supply drive, which has taken place for the last 15 years, brings in the most amounts of donations for the shelter compared to all other times throughout the calendar year. It will start next Monday and continue up until New Years Day. Volunteer coordinator Jenny Gibson said the shelter is constantly accepting donations year-round and that the supply drive is a huge assistance in help-

male enjoyment.

The degree of sexism within casual relationships between men and women speaks to more serious, institutionalized sexism in Brazil.

There is no immediate cure, besides perhaps a shift in attitudes among

BPD arrest crack dealer From IDS reports

A man was arrested Tuesday after admitting to Bloomington Police Department detectives that he had been dealing crack cocaine in the Bloomington area.

James Beal, 24, of Bloomington was charged with dealing in cocaine or narcotics and possession of cocaine or narcotics. Police used two controlled buys to confirm Beal possessed the drugs, BPD Sgt. Pam Gladish said.

A controlled buy is when a cooperating witness or

undercover police officer purchases illegal items from a criminal suspect. The BPD performed two of these with a confidential informant in October and November.

Police served a search warrant to Beal at his residence at 3365 Acadia Court and found more than 20 grams of crack cocaine in a pillow case.

Officers took Beal back to the station where he agreed to speak with detectives and admitted to the dealings.

ing the organization stay operational.

The most in-demand items are canned dog and cat food, blankets, paper towels, toys, litter and bleach, Gibson said. In addition, people are encouraged to donate any items they may already possess but are no longer utilizing.

“There a lot of things that can be donated even if they’ve already been used like extra dog and cat food or old towels and sheets for bedding. If it’s something you’re going to just throw away, most likely we can probably still use it here at the shelter,” Gibson said.

Typically each year, the

distributed donation boxes receive around 50 or more items than the shelter is able to put to productive use.

Canned food is used to feed medication to sick animals and, because the shelter’s budget is limited, items like toys and treats are gladly excepted since the organization’s expenses usually cannot cover them as a first priority.

“People are very willing to assist us this time of year, which is great considering the amount of animals we care for here at any given time,” Gibson said. “We’re very thankful for having such a open and generous community.”

Two Monroe County teenagers were arrested and charged with multiple felony charges following a stalking investigation.

Isaiah Lee Jackson, 19, and Derek Matthew Richardson, 18, both allegedly stalked a Monroe County family, according to a release from Indiana State Police.

Jackson was charged with two counts of stalking, one count of theft, two counts of intimidation and one count each of criminal mischief and criminal trespass. Stalking is a Class A felony.

Jackson allegedly stalked the family and destroyed their personal property. He

is also accused of intimidation by placing dead animals with gunshot wounds and severed extremities in their driveway.

Richardson was charged with two counts of stalking, one count of theft and one count each of criminal mischief and criminal trespass.

Richardson also allegedly stalked the family while destroying their personal property. He is also accused of intentionally interfering with the possession or use of their property.

Class A felonies are punishable by 20 to 50 years of imprisonment and a fine of up to $10,000 in Indiana.

Grades for dating

Helping the nation next door

NANCY WU is a senior in English.

Just when you think there comes a time when grades stop mattering, you’re wrong.

Behold “The Grade,” a phone dating application that algorithmically assigns letter grades to users.

These grades are based on the users’ popularity, the quality of their messages (checking for grammar errors) and their responsiveness.

The app expels those with an F grade and advises those with C grades on how to become better suitors.

Although I keep having an “Is this for real?” moment in my head as I begin to grapple with the idea of assigning grades for dating, I can see some of its merits.

However, I believe these merits are rather misleading.

Indeed, the makers of the app have made considerations about the problems with modern dating sites and apps.

The app-makers say they have “substantial market research” that show many women using dating apps were unsatisfied with the quality of daters and their seriousness in dating, according to Time.

Women were also offended by the high frequency of the hostile and sexually suggestive messages.

Knowing this, it seems that having a grade system in place would definitely help reduce the frequency of such problems.

At the very least, it would guarantee that all active users were ones willing to demonstrate readiness of being a good suitor.

However, when it comes to dating, it’s obvious that a willingness to demonstrate readiness for a relationship is hardly enough to spark the beginning of a deep, meaningful relationship.

I mean, it’s completely possible for a person to demonstrate readiness for a certain kind of relationship and not actually desire it in the least bit.

What repulses me most about the app is the notion of a grading system helps to enforce such dynamics.

In assigning a grade, the desires and goals of getting a good grade become a central part of dating.

Clearly, this is misleading.

It encourages people to direct their intentionality for relationships to obtaining some computergenerated grade.

With such ideas in mind, people can be together and engage in communication solely for the benefits of getting a good grade. Instead of having their good intentions directed toward each other, their intentions are directed at achieving approval.

It’s not a healthy way to develop relationships, and it invites a certain amount of narcissism.

While people may, as a consequence of trying to achieve a good grade, also engage in a deeper sense of communication with those they date, their primary intentions become misdirected.

They are not toward the establishment of a loving relationship but rather toward achieving better algorithmically generated grades. nywu@indiana.edu

Sexpeditions WE SAY: Probably not a smart business move In what is yet another American phenomenon that leaves us shaking our heads thinking, “Of course this is a thing,” a service has sprung up in which men offer to have sex for free with women looking to become pregnant.

Or, in other words, the dream job for millions upon millions of men out there.

The service works like this: a woman looking to become pregnant contacts a man in the service, presumably wellknown for being particularly “successful,” and the man flies out, meets the woman, has sex with her, then leaves. It’s the one-night stand that keeps on giving.

One such man was featured on ABC’s “20/20” last Friday

to explain why he was doing this, and his most astounding response was that he was “unable to have as many children as (he) want(s) in (his) relationship, and that would be unreasonable to ask a woman to give birth to 30 children.”

This is a man who asked to go by the name Joe because his wife and three teenage children were unaware of his double life, in which he claims he’s had sex with more than 100 women.

In case these weren’t obvious, we want to point out several of the risks that come with this lifestyle. First, STDs galore, since he is having unprotected sex with countless women.

Second, custody and child support issues have arisen

with sperm donors and, on the other side of the coin, surrogate mothers. If they are having issues, we can only imagine the number of lawyers this man will need when his children turn 18 and want to go to college.

Third, the man is cheating on his wife under the guise of wanting the “satisfaction of knowing that (he) ha(s) another descendant out there.” Certainly, this man is not concerned about overpopulation.

Since this man was able to convince so many women to have sex with him for free, we have come up with a list of jobs that entrepreneurs, with a will and a dream, could do for free.

1. Are you on a diet? I’ll eat those tempting leftovers so you won’t.

2. Have no friends but want it to appear that you do? Call me and I’ll come to your party so you can feel better about yourself.

3. Here’s a free tattoo. I just want to get my art out there.

4. Find a really relatable Buzzfeed list but have no one to share it with? Call me up and we can talk about how everything, especially No. 11, is so you.

5. Tired? Let me nap for you when you can’t.

Perhaps this man is onto something, though.

Not many people can go on a business trip and enjoy pleasure at the same time.

GUENTHER WITH AN ‘E’

Anything Purdue can do, we can do better IU is a world-class institution that must keep reinventing itself in order to break the barriers that many believe exist.

With this constant reinvention, the University must keep in mind that the world is an ever-changing landscape.

It must change how degrees are earned, it must renovate buildings and it must purchase new equipment.

In order to stay a worldclass institution, IU needs to reinvent how it looks at education.

Recently, IU released the Bicentennial Strategic Plan, which stated that IU intends to research the possibility of creating an engineering program in Bloomington.

Now, I’ve heard people say things such as “This isn’t Purdue” or “Don’t fix what isn’t broken,” and perhaps they have a point.

Market niches exist for a reason.

IU excels at business

and music. Purdue excels at agriculture and engineering.

Ball State excels at architecture.

These are all common beliefs that are sometimes backed up by facts. The fear of stepping outside of these roles is all too often echoed by administrators, staff members and students. And I can sympathize with those people.

Changing what your university does, to some, appears to attempt to change what your university stands for. Those who disagree with what IU is hoping to do may feel like the program would be a failure or go against IU’s culture.

I, however, am overjoyed that IU is looking to expand its breadth of knowledge by researching an engineering program.

As a world-class institution, IU owes it to the students to offer them the widest array of options that is manageable and feasible by the University. And as a world-

class institution, with most science majors ranking in the top 50, an engineering program is a good possibility.

The Board of Trustees, President Michael McRobbie and Provost Lauren Robel owe it to students to expand, improve and revolutionize the processes, policies and programs IU offers to its students.

Likewise, students have an obligation to speak their minds and let their representatives and school employees know their thoughts on the subject.

As IU progresses in a society where college is quickly growing into a common necessity, we ought to be examining how we can stay competitive as an institution of higher learning.

The University has decided that engineering is a program worth exploring for various reasons. I trust it will make the decision that is best for the University.

While I don’t have all the facts regarding an

engineering program, I am of the firm belief that IU would be capable of producing and maintaining a comprehensive, recognized engineering program within the next decade.

I am also of the firm belief this program would attract more students to our campus, provide more students with a deeper breadth of knowledge and give students more options in how they wish to proceed with their education.

IU is an institution of opportunity, shared community and higher learning. And we excel at all three.

With this move, the administration and the Board of Trustees, in my mind, are keeping it that way. ajguenth@indiana.edu

Trouble lies just beyond the southern border.

Mexico faces internal strife as the populace riots against government corruption in response to the kidnapping and alleged killing of 43 students in the state of Guerrero.

According to the Mexican government, the students were stopped by the police while on a bus and given to the drug cartel Guerreros Unidos in mid-September.

Last week, the Mexican attorney general announced the discovery of charred human remains in a river and a dump within Guerrero that are presumed to be the bodies of the missing students.

As the capital of Mexico burns from the fires started by a population fed up with government injustice, I believe the United States must do more to bring the violence occurring in Mexico to the forefront of foreign policy discussion.

The sheer proximity of Mexico to the U.S. lends relevance to the turmoil that is occurring in the southern nation.

Since 2006, the fight waged by the Mexican government against drug trafficking has killed more than 60,000 people.

However, the United States is complicit in fueling drug operations in the troubled country.

From 2007 to 2011, almost 70 percent of confiscated weapons in Mexico originated in the U.S., CNN reported.

Additionally, the majority of cocaine within the U.S. passes through the southern border. The drugs are readily consumed, as cartels are estimated to profit upwards of $20 billion annually from the U.S. alone.

Despite America’s attempts to isolate itself from the problems of its neighbor by reinforcing a wall, the U.S.’ inadvertent contributions to the Mexican drug war is a reminder of the simple principle of proximity.

Regardless of the ideological distance between two neighboring countries, a neighbor’s mess, if left unchecked, will eventually become one’s own.

Since the beginning of the war in 2006, the U.S. has provided substantial aid to the Mexican government to curb the violence.

The Merida Initiative, implemented in 2008, provided the southern nation with $1.6 billion in police training and equipment.

Although the billions have led to the capture of several high-level members of drug cartels, the initiative may be fueling the violence.

Battles for the leadership position typically break out in cartels after high-ranking officals are detained.

The U.S. deserves recognition for its efforts in creating a plan to address the violence in Mexico.

Ultimately, however, money alone has seldom solved foreign crises before and is unlikely to solve the one raging below the border.

Increased American attention to the Mexican crisis is not only in Mexico’s best interest but also in the interest of America, as well. caheredi@indiana.edu

Suspended players to return

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

Tom Crean wants his team to be more like SMU - in terms of depth, at least.

The opening two weeks of the season put a tax on Crean’s shortened bench.

The Hoosiers essentially lost four potential rotation players just days before the start of the season. As a result, Crean has been experimenting with unusual lineups through the Hoosiers’ two exhibition and two regular season games.

But reinforcements are on the way. Freshman forward Emmitt Holt, sophomore forward Troy Williams and sophomore guard Stanford Robinson will return from suspension tonight at 8 p.m. against No. 22 SMU. “They have to fit into what we’re trying to do,” Crean said.

“That doesn’t happen easily, but it has to happen. We’ll have to work through that and see how that all goes and blend them in.”

During their suspensions, Crean said the players spent more time in practice focusing on their individual games.

The trio still practiced with the team but moved to the practice squad when specific game preparation took place.

Williams started all 32 games for the Hoosiers last season. Robinson started in nine, appearing in 32 games.

Holt, who joined the program in August, is expected to add much-needed height to a depleted frontcourt.

Without them available, Crean mixed and matched with his lineups in the first two weeks.

He used the same starting five each game: junior guards Yogi Ferrell and Nick Zeisloft; freshman guards James Blackmon Jr. and Rob Johnson; and junior forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea.

In IU’s two regular-season games, the starting lineup outscored opponents by 20 when they were on the floor together.

After that, things got messy.

Crean used 14 unique lineups in IU’s 83-64 win against Texas Southern on Monday after using 19 unique lineups against Mississippi Valley four days before.

Against Texas Southern, four of IU’s 14 lineups were used more than once. Six lineups were used 1:22 or less while another six were used for at least 2:35.

The suspended players were not allowed on the bench during the four-game suspension. Instead, the trio watched the games from the locker room, taking notes and telling teammates what they’d seen at halftime.

Junior guard Yogi Ferrell said the film study could have actually been advantageous.

“I feel like maybe they’ve had the advantage because they’ve been watching the games really and giving us pointers,” Ferrell said.

“They’ve kind of got the upper hand, and I think they’re going to go on and do what we need to do — move the ball, just kind of gel with our offense.”

IU (2-0) vs. No. 22 SMU (1-1) 8 p.m. tonight, Assembly Hall Crean never revealed just how much the previously suspended players will immediately play in their first game.

He said the team would find out more in practice Wednesday during final tune-ups for the Thursday game.

Regardless of Crean not hinting at a starting lineup, the effect the players will have is undeniable.

Williams and Holt may be able to provide a bit of much-needed rebounding while Robinson will look too add more depth to an already deep guard rotation that has carried most of the heavy lifting offensively early on.

Regardless of the capacity, the team is ready to welcome Holt, Robinson and Williams back.

“I know they’re anxious,” Zeisloft said. “We’re anxious to get them back, too. We’ve been wanting them to be with us the whole time.”

Last season, then-freshman guard Stanford Robinson started nine out of the 32 games IU played.

He played an average of 17 minutes per game. He came on toward the end of the season after he got more experience because IU needed some offense. Last year IU had a very hard time scoring the ball.

If you read my columns last year, it’s no secret I love how Robinson plays.

He’s quick and shifty and cunning.

He’s excellent at getting to the basket. When he gets to the basket, he knows how to finish. He’s left-handed and can use his right hand very well, so defenders can’t shade toward one side.

He’s got a little bit of a euro-step, which is just awesome to have from an 19-year-old basketball player.

On defense, he’s great at staying in front of people.

He’s got long arms and quick feet, a great combination for a defender.

The one thing he struggled with — and it’s a pretty big thing — was his shooting.

He was a horrible outside shooter. His jump shot had an ugly form, and he was only 3-for-16 from behind the arc. That’s 19 percent. That’s miserable.

Also, because he is so good at getting to the basket, he draws fouls at a good rate. Last season, he drew 5.3 fouls per 40 minutes, which is a high figure for a guard.

The only problem is he doesn’t convert when he’s at the line. Last season he was just 54-for-90 from the line. That’s 60 percent. For a guard, that’s miserable.

But with all that said about Robinson, when he comes back from his fourgame drug suspension at 7 p.m. tonight against SMU, what will his role be?

Is he a starter?

Or is he an instantoffense guy/perimeter lockdown defender off the bench?

Freshman guard Rob Johnson’s play has been stellar this season. His game is very similar to Robinson’s. He’s a much better shooter than Robinson, but I think Robinson is better at attacking the basket.

Part of the backcourt is

Interact on Twitter What do you think about the players’ return tonight?

Tweet us @idsnews. set. The two concrete starters at guard are going to be junior Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell and freshman James Blackmon Jr. That much we know.

But the issue of the third guard slot — because IU doesn’t have a traditional “three” wing-type player — is up for debate. It’ll be between Robinson and Johnson.

I don’t know who will end up winning that battle.

I would like to see the new and improved Robinson jump shot. He uses his right hand now, as opposed to his left hand last year. Weird, I know. But let’s see if it works.

One important thing to remember is it doesn’t really matter who starts the game. It matters who finishes the game. Who will be the crunch-time five IU goes with in the final five minutes of a close game?

Coming into the season, it was clear to me that Robinson would be part of that five.

But if you can get 90 percent of Robinson’s basket attacking and defense with Johnson, you may have to take that because right now, Johnson’s shooting is light years ahead of Robinson’s.

This year’s team will be predicated on outside shooting. If Robinson can shoot 33 or 35 percent from behind the arc, I think he’s got the job as the third guard.

But if he can’t shoot from outside at a consistent rate, Robinson will be on the bench as he watches Johnson play with Blackmon and Ferrell in crunch time in IU’s backcourt.

The good thing is tonight we finally get to see with our own eyes who that third guard should be.

Prediction: IU 76, SMU 69.

IU set to play depleted SMU tonight

By Alden Woods aldwoods@indiana.edu | @acw9293

In No. 22 SMU’s blowout loss at No. 13 Gonzaga on Tuesday, the Mustangs lacked a certain spark, at times.

Preseason All-American Conference point guard Nic Moore couldn’t do it by himself. Drawing the full attention of Gonzaga’s defense, Moore struggled, tallying just 10 points, five assists and three rebounds in the 72-56 loss.

What Moore needed was a sidekick. Emmanuel Mudiay and Markus Kennedy helped — unfortunately for SMU, neither player was available.

Mudiay, a consensus topfive national recruit, committed to SMU in August 2013. The 6-foot-5 guard was immediately penciled into the Mustangs’ starting backcourt pairing.

SMU Coach Larry Brown

praised Mudiay, who he thought would become a star at the college level.

“He’s the most special point guard I’ve ever seen at that age,” Brown told ESPN this summer. “He plays the right way, and God has given him incredible gifts.”

When Mudiay decided to play the 2014-15 season professionally in China instead of at SMU, Brown was left to reconfigure his team’s gameplan in the middle of summer.

The problem was compounded in October, when SMU announced that preseason All-American Conference forward Markus Kennedy had been ruled academically ineligible and would miss at least the beginning of the season.

Before the season had started, SMU had lost two of its top three players. The Mustangs plummeted in preseason rankings — what was once a top-10 team

almost fell out of the top 25 entirely.

On Thursday, SMU will bring its depleted squad to Bloomington for a game in which IU Coach Tom Crean will see his roster expand.

Sophomore forward Troy Williams, sophomore guard Stanford Robinson and freshman forward Emmitt Holt will return from suspension and be available for the first time this season.

Crean said the Mustangs’ depth will allow them to recover from the offseason losses and still present a difficult matchup.

“There’s no question this is going to be an incredibly challenging game in many areas for us,” Crean said.

“They are an extremely talented, in all five positions, team. They have very good depth, the kind of depth that you want ... Their talent is really good.”

SMU’s departures will allow IU to focus on Moore, a

5-foot-9 junior guard. Moore averaged 13.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game last season and has been tabbed as a candidate for American Conference Player of the Year.

“He’s fearless,” Crean said. “He’s got incredible toughness. He can score at the rim, he can score from deep and three. He makes the easy pass. He’s not one of those guys that’s over-dribbling and thinking shot first, shot second and pass third.

He’s making the basketball play.”

Crean and his staff began studying tapes of SMU in the summer. What stood out to him, he said, was the Mustangs’ versatility.

“SMU brings a lot of everything,” Crean said. “Not a little of everything, but a lot of everything. They’re going to bring a tremendous physical and attacking style, which is going to be a challenge any night.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 *** Just five miles down the road from West Monroe High, now-IU cornerbacks Coach Brandon Shelby was coaching at the University of Louisiana-Monroe.

Shelby had seen the corner play during his senior year, and Shelby wanted him at ULM. But he wasn’t the only one interested in Hunter.

“When he made his mind up to come to IU, Mike had probably 60 offers to go to college,” Michael Sr. said.

IU was the only visit Michael’s parents didn’t make with him. While all of his friends went to play at other schools down south, Michael had a different plan.

He wanted to take a chance and leave home.

“If I hate it, that’s four years of my life,” Hunter said.

“So I wanted to find what else is out in the world.”

Jackie said she was a little bit surprised by Michael’s decision. Michael Sr. hoped his son would stay close to home, maybe go to Arkansas or Tennessee State.

Hunter’s cousin was at TCU, and his best friend goes to Louisiana-Monroe.

But both Jackie and Michael Sr. supported whatever he chose. They trusted him.

“That’s kind of him,” Jackie said. “He had a plan A, B and C, and if A didn’t work and B didn’t work and C didn’t work, he always had a plan.”

Even after Hunter committed to IU, Shelby kept calling.

Hunter didn’t answer or return Shelby’s calls. He didn’t want to be swayed in

“But we have better awareness now, and it’s seen as more of a place to celebrate. It’s a more joyful place.”

However, the office still assists students coming out, students who are harassed and parents who have questions about their child’s sexual orientation or gender expression, Bartzel said.

Both Bauder and Bartzel said they agreed the office still has things it wants to work toward, as well. The office has received criticism for not properly addressing women’s issues, polyamory, asexuality and trans issues, Bauder said.

“I hope we appoint a younger coordinator who can look at these issues in new ways,” Bauder said. “We want to hear more voices.”

They also hope they can be more involved with how gender and sexuality intersect with other identities such as class, race or religion, as well as reach out to more people of color, Bartzel said.

Sophomore Nick Rivera said he hopes the office doesn’t have to exist in the future.

“Hopefully the progression of the way people think continues in what we see as the right direction,” Rivera said. “If it does then eventually the support center won’t be needed because everybody can just live as themselves.”

The office has been a second home to Rivera, and he said it has helped him more than he could ever imagine by enabling him to embrace his identity and recognize he’s not alone.

“Without the people here who have helped me I would be a totally different person,” Rivera said. “Missing this celebration would be like missing a family birthday party or Thanksgiving.”

Bill Shipton has seen the impact of the office firsthand from his experiences as a college student and as the former director of diversity, residential programs and services.

another direction; he had made up his mind. But Shelby would call or stop by Michael Sr.’s office every day.

“I said, ‘Mike, call him back and see what he wants,’” Jackie said. “When he did, (Shelby) said something like, ‘You thought you were going to get away from me, huh?’”

Shelby just wanted to tell Michael he’d gotten a job to coach at IU. He would be Hunter’s coach after all.

of guy he’d let his daughter marry.

“If I’m blessed enough to have children, I want my boy to be like Mike Hunter,” Shelby said. “That’s the God’s honest truth.”

“I think it paid off,” he said.

“I’ve become a better person.

I’m just blessed to have the opportunity to play college football at Indiana.”

***

Hunter is lucky if he gets back to Monroe twice a year.

When he arrives home in December, one of his first stops is Raising Cane’s. The popular fast food restaurant offers chicken fingers as its only main course, but it’s Hunter’s favorite meal.

Raising Cane’s is unfamiliar to most Midwesterners. Its closest location to Bloomington is in Columbus, Ohio. The first Raising Cane’s opened at the North Gates of the LSU campus, and the chain remains predominantly in the southern states.

In junior high, Hunter would visit three or four times a week.

“I just love the sauce for some reason,” Hunter said.

“It’s literally the same thing every day, chicken fingers and fries.”

But most of all, it reminds him of home. And back in Monroe, before Raising Cane’s, that’s where Hunter goes.

Little has changed. For the short time he’s in town, he’ll visit his grandparents every day.

He’ll see friends who also went on to play college football. Around the house, his little sisters will be all over him.

And Jamie still wants to be just like her older brother.

“To this day, you ask her where she’s going to school,” Jackie said. “She says, ‘I’m going to Indiana, where brother went.’”

*** Four years later, Shelby can sum up Hunter in one word. He’s dependable — on and off the field.

“If I was going out of town, and I needed one of these knuckleheads to go lock my house up, I would give him the key,” Shelby said.

Shelby compared Hunter to a Cadillac.

He won’t have all the bells and whistles, Shelby said, but you know he’s going to be there and he’s going to do things right.

“He ain’t a Corvette,” Shelby said. “He ain’t a Hyundai Sonata, but he’s a good ol’ Cadillac, nice and steady, getting you down the road.”

On the field, Hunter is rarely in the wrong spot, Shelby said.

As a cornerback, you have to process the situation quickly, make a decision and act on it. Shelby said Hunter’s sharp mind helps him do that.

Hunter earned a 4.0 GPA in high school. After he graduates, he said he hopes to go to occupational therapy school or go into athletic administration.

He’s smart and respectful, Shelby said. Hunter’s the kind

A lot changed for Hunter after moving away from home, but his faith remained constant.

Every game day, Hunter wears a white T-shirt under his uniform. It says, “God First, Bro.” It’s so worn out by now you can barely read it.

Before the game, Hunter listens to a mix of gospel music and rap. He admits it’s a strange combination, but it works for him.

If he doesn’t get a chance to text his parents, they’ll text him, “praying for you, have a good game.”

Since leaving home for Bloomington four years ago, Hunter hasn’t strayed from the values he was taught in Monroe. That’s what Jackie said makes her most proud.

Michael was raised in a religious home. His grandfather was a preacher. So is his uncle, whose church the Hunters attend every Sunday morning.

Hunter has learned to stay positive in difficult situations.

Someone’s always worse off than you are, he said.

“That’s how he thinks about a lot of things,” Jackie said. “What would my granddaddy do, or what would my uncle be proud of me for not doing? That’s helped him make a lot of responsible decisions.”

He said at first it was tough.

During freshman year, he often wanted to go home. But it’s not like that anymore.

FIRE The game is over. The war has begun. Weekend previews ‘Mockingjay,’ opening Friday.

By Lexia Banks lnbanks@indiana.edu | @LexiaBanks

The revolution is here.

Part one of the epic conclusion of the “Hunger Games” series hits theaters Friday after a year of leaving fans dangling on the edge of their seats with one of the most heart-breaking cliffhangers in young-adult film history.

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1” is the third film in the four-part series based off IU alumna Suzanne Collins’ highly acclaimed book series.

In the two films that preceded “Mockingjay,” audiences developed a close relationship with the story’s heroine, Katniss Everdeen.

In the first film, “The Hunger Games,” the audience is dropped into a dystopian world separated into 12 districts, from which two children per district are plucked every year to battle each other to the death in what is known as the Hunger Games.

Katniss, played by Academy Award-winner Jennifer Lawrence, volunteers in her younger sister’s place to save her life. Peeta Mellark, played by Josh Hutcherson, is the selected male tribute.

In the end, Katniss and Peeta are the survivors. Because, as we learn in the subsequent film, when it comes to the Hunger Games, there are no winners.

In “Catching Fire,” Katniss has unknowingly sparked a series of uprisings throughout the districts, much to the chagrin of President Snow (Donald Sutherland). To squash the hope Katniss represents, Snow plots to get rid of her through the Games.

The new gamemaker, Plutarch Heavensbee, played by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, designs the game to select tributes from a pool of former victors.

Katniss and Peeta soon find themselves back in the arena, but this time with allies.

The pair teams up with victors from other districts: Deetee and Wiress of District 3, Finnick Odair and Mags of District 4 and Johanna Mason of District 7.

Katniss manages to electrocute the force field, and the arena begins to crumble around her. The audience is then hit with a load of information in two short, separate waking scenes: the Capitol has captured Peeta, and District 12 is in ruins.

That brings us to “Mockingjay.”

The rebellion is forming, and citizens of the districts will attempt to rid their homeland of Capitol control.

Katniss is taken to District 13, where the rebels are organizing. She is asked to become the symbol of the rebellion, the mockingjay.

There’s a lot to expect from “Mockingjay.”

The story is expanding and deepening. This is no longer a cruel game. Katniss and company are now part of full-out war.

Hopefully, splitting the book into two films will allow the writers enough space to properly portray the important and critical themes of “Mockingjay” on the big screen. So far, we’ve seen it work for big finales such as “Harry SEE MOCKINGJAY, PAGE 12

‘FOUR’ TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

America’s favorite heartthrob boy band has released its newest album. It’s great but not a game changer.

‘Four’ One Direction BI’ll admit it.

I love One Direction.

I haven’t extensively combed their discography, but they’re a boy band in the year 2014, which is awesome, and they’re all gorgeous heartthrobs, which is even more awesome.

Swooning aside, the five boys from across the pond are making a huge splash here in the United States.

According to Billboard, with the album “Four,” the band is “on course for its fourth No. 1 album

in less than three years” and expected to cross the 400,000 album sales mark this week.

The band’s got a great formula going — their songs are fun, incredibly catchy and radiofriendly, and the band gives off a persona that’s likable.

“Four” is no different from all those qualities I just listed.

Starting with the lead single, “Steal My Girl,” the album kicks right into its huge, stadium-pop rock, anthemic chants.

The song is absolutely outstanding.

Well, for a radio single.

Therein lies the conundrum of the whole album.

There really isn’t a whole lot of creativity to be had in “Four.” It’s all

very similar, it’s all very poppy, and there are little-to-no risks taken throughout the whole album.

That’s OK, though. We don’t expect the moon and stars out of every album released ever, especially if it would potentially compromise a formula that’s very clearly working.

The next track, “Ready to Run,” introduces us into the other category of songs on “Four,” and that’s the stadium-pop rock ballad. Not too far off from the first category.

The lyrics are exactly what you’d expect — songs about or to a girl.

The poetry never runs crazy deep, but it’s passable.

Another big single off the album, “Night Changes,” is another

pretty great number, placed toward the middle of the track list to keep momentum moving forward.

The album does break just above the average mold of songs these days. It’s far more enjoyable and easy to get into than most pop albums, which usually include a couple of OK songs and then a laundry list of filler nonsense.

“No Control” is another song that’s just an energetic burst of fun arena pop/rock.

“Four” is definitely a fun ride but not something to elevate One Direction into that next level of musicality I’d love to see these five guys enter.

Ubisoft offers sub-par sequel ‘Assassin’s Creed: Unity’ D+ In its ambition to create a fully realized and living version of 1790s Paris, “Assassin’s Creed: Unity” stumbles badly in many respects.

Given that this game was developed exclusively for next-generation consoles, one would hope that Ubisoft Montreal gets its act together for future releases.

You play as Arno Victor Dorian, who is a near carbon copy of Ezio Auditore from “Assassin’s Creed II.” The difference is the war between the Assassins and Templars is now at a new front during the events of the French Revolution.

As a side note, there is no longer a playable concurrent story set in the present day, with this meta-narrative taking place as a series of cut scenes.

The game, technically, is not nearly up to par with other releases. The frame rate can stutter and freeze erratically. Texture pop-in is a concern in larger areas as well.

Non-player characters are scattered liberally throughout the expanse of Paris, but many of them are copy-pasted versions of one another and sometimes don’t load quite in time for Arno to avoid.

However, probably the most disgusting new feature in “Unity” is the proliferation of microtransactions. Several customization options in the game can be purchased immediately with real-world money.

This behavior has no place in a $60 release.

Add to that the incessant pushing of the companion application and online network plastered across all of the different menus and even in the game, and it leads to a very annoying experience.

On the flip side, there is a lot of nice texture work, and Ubisoft did succeed in creating a visual feast for the eyes at the expense of a smooth frame rate. Art direction and animation qualities are top notch here.

I saw “Birdman” in the middle of a binge of three new movies in a five-day span. All of these movies were good.

The thing is, seeing “Birdman” in between the other two films made it more apparent how incredible “Birdman” is.

It is nice to be reminded of how creative and beautiful some filmmaking can be.

“Birdman” tells the story of a washed-up movie hero actor, Riggan Thomson, played by Michael Keaton, who is now trying to regain credibility and respect by directing and starring in a Broadway rendition of Raymond Carver’s “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.”

This is a movie that explores acting and what it is that drives actors.

Before the film begins, a quote from Carver is presented that talks about wanting to feel beloved while on this planet.

Being beloved is what drives Thomson to attempt to put on such a play.

Being respected is what drives Thomson’s co-star Mike Shiner, who is played by Edward Norton.

Keaton and Norton are both on another level as actors in this movie. Both will likely be nominated for Oscars, and I think Norton should be a frontrunner for Best Supporting Actor.

They are both electric and it is astonishing to see how well they play actors playing a part as actors who are also playing a part in a play.

We sometimes see a certain scene in the play performed multiple times, and it is interesting to see how it is performed differently each time depending on the circumstances.

For a movie about acting, the direction is what puts this one with the elite films of the year.

Directed by Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu and filmed by Emmanuel Lubeski, who did “Gravity,”“Birdman” is shot to appear as, mostly, one continuous take.

The way the film maneuvered passages of time while never seeming to change the shot impressed me each time.

It is almost like this movie reinforces everything we need to know about acting.

History Center hosts Carmichael’s birthday

By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino

The Monroe County History Center will be celebrating jazz legend and native Hoosier Howard Hoagland “Hoagy” Carmichael’s 115th birthday Saturday with an event at 6:00 p.m. Friday.

Executive Director of the Monroe County History Center David Vanderstel said he was approached by members of the organization asking him to plan the event, which has happened in years past, near Carmichael’s birthday.

“We’ve had lots of inquiries about this,” he said of the event.

The event, which will take place at 202 E. 6th St. in the History Center, will include a presentation about Carmichael’s life and some of his music performed live.

Tickets for the event cost $5 for members and $10 for non-members, he said.

The event will end with a reception where people will be able to ask questions and discuss Carmichael with the presenter and performers, he said.

Sculptor Michael McAuley will be narrating the presentation. He was the man who created the statue of Carmichael that currently rests outside of the IU Cinema.

McAuley said he will be reflecting on Carmichael’s life, the songs he composed and his musical style.

“I am doing this to bring back the awareness of Hoagy,” he said.

Carmichael went on to be a household name, and this presentation is reviving that, McAuley said.

“For this group, I will be bringing out additional information about his life,”

McAuley said.

Though he said he didn’t want to give away too much information, McAuley said he would be talking about things such as Carmichael’s connection with Bob Dylan.

In this way, McAuley hopes to bring new information to even those locals familiar with Carmichael.

He said his love for Carmichael’s music came from listening to him sing his own works.

It sounds authentic, personal, soulful, McAuley said.

“It was, for me, just the voice that compelled me to be interested in the man and not just the music,” he said.

McAuley, an IU graduate, said when he realized there was nothing to stand as a tribute to Carmichael, he felt he had to change that by creating a sculpture of Carmichael in his prime.

To create a tribute to Carmichael’s life and legacy, McAuley said he had to work to create the personable, likable and casual person Carmichael was.

Though he said Carmichael would have preferred a stand-up piano, he said he seated him at a grand piano to reflect his concert-oriented performances and for logistical purposes.

The sculpture shows Carmichael sitting with unfinished sheet music, wearing a candid look, rolled up sleeves and his iconic fedora, he said.

“It’s like you’re looking at him, really at work, composing a song,” he said.

From concept to completion, the sculpture took a year, McAuley said. People had suggested a more abstract design for the piano, but he said he felt the statue needed to be the whole package. It was dedicated in 2007, and McAuley said he

expects it will stay there for years to come.

“There’s a great amount of pride that Hoagy came from Bloomington, went to IU,” he said.

A fellow Carmichael appreciator, pianist Mark Weidenmayer approached McAuley and proposed that they combine the presentation on Carmichael with live music to add to the experience. McAuley said he saw the value in this style and pursued it.

Weidenmayer, vocalist Doug James and trombonist Matthew Waterman will be performing Friday.

Weidenmayer said all three performers live in the area, and Waterman is a senior at Bloomington High School North.

Though this is his third time presenting this program, Weidenmayer said it was the first time it took place near Carmichael’s birthday.

He said his experience with Carmichael’s music started when he was young and his father brought “Stardust,” one of Carmichael’s most famous songs, home on a record.

“It’s a big coincidence that now I’m in Bloomington,” he said.

When he moved to Indiana, he said he didn’t realize Carmichael was a Hoosier.

Weidenmayer said Carmichael was an extremely influential songwriter of the jazz era despite not

Mark Applebaum, from Stanford University will give a lecture titled “Experimentation vs. Consumption: On the Moral Obligation of the Contemporary Artist.”

The lecture will take place 7:30 p.m. tonight in Simon Hall M242.

Applebaum will talk about his “radical and notso-radical music,” according to the Jacobs School of Music.

The lecture poses one main question: what artistic enterprise is worth society’s effort and attention?

Applebaum is an associate professor of composition at Stanford University.

His solo, chamber, choral, orchestral, operatic and electroacoustic work has been performed worldwide.

He is a TED Talk awardee.

His music is not traditional. Many of his works challenge the conventional boundaries of musical ontology, according to the Jacobs School of Music.

For example, he created a musical piece designed for three conductors and no players, pieces for instruments built out of trash, works for an invented sign language choreographed to sound, amplified Dadaist rituals and a chamber work comprised of obsessive page turns, among many others, according to the Jacobs School of Music.

Tonight’s lecture is the Jacobs School of Music’s most recent Guest Composition Lecture.

It is sponsored by the Center for Electronic and Computer Music.

NOT A MISSION TRIP

Traveling abroad gives cultural perspective The first time I went abroad, I went to Italy.

My first moment of culture shock I experienced was in the Rome airport when I couldn’t figure out how to flush the toilet.

Oh, how far I’ve come since then.

There are differences in culture everywhere you go — sometimes small, sometimes not so small.

Even if you just live on the opposite coast in the United States for a while, there is some degree of culture shock.

I was a 16-year-old, firsttime world traveler in Italy.

For me, the fact that other countries have different ways of flushing toilets was pretty revolutionary.

I wish I could have seen myself now.

The best reason for studying abroad is the amount of perspective it gives you.

Traveling to different places as a tourist, as I did in Italy, is one thing. But becoming immersed in a culture and lifestyle is something different.

The point of travel isn’t just to experience something different for the sake of it being different.

I’ve learned so much from the way people do things here. It reinforces this idea that no society or culture is better or worse. It’s simply what you’re used to and what makes sense to you based on your environment.

I can’t stop thinking about the woman I saw breastfeeding on the bus. I remember looking around at first, taken aback.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a woman in America breastfeed in public, much less on public transport. At least not without getting disapproving and judgment-filled looks.

But in the U.S., the standards of dress are much more lax, especially for women.

Many times on particularly hot days I have wanted to wear shorts and a tank top, but that’s just not socially acceptable here.

Women rarely show cleavage or wear revealing clothing in Rwanda. But breastfeeding in public is completely OK. I found that ironic at first, but then I realized the double standard — in the U.S., it’s OK to wear bikinis or a cleavagebaring top, revealing your

breasts in what is usually a more sexual way.

But it’s not OK to show your breasts while they’re actually being functional and feeding a baby.

I didn’t realize this, but perspective is colored by a person’s environment.

Where you are from, where you grow up and who you are surrounded by influences your perspective.

And usually you can’t realize the ways your environment is shaping your perspective until you leave that environment for a period of time.

That’s what happened to me. I can’t say that knowing that Italians flush their toilets differently than Americans really taught me anything, but I have learned a lot by

Weidenmayer said he hopes people take advantage of seeing both clips of Carmichael performing during the presentation and performers breathe life into Carmichael’s pieces again, especially because they are almost 75 years old.

He also said he hopes to make this a community-wide event, including people who aren’t members of the Monroe County Historical Society, especially students.

He said he encourages people to come out to learn about Carmichael, experience his music and enjoy the evening.

McAuley said Bloomington is an artistic and cultural mecca and that because Carmichael has had such a big effect on music, anybody who wants to be musically informed should attend.

2011 MacBook Pro 13” $700; 4 GB Ram; 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5; 250GB SSD. I upgraded the hard drive to a 250 GB Solid State DriveSSD ($180 value). It is super fast with the SSD, literally it is faster now than when I first bought it.

I have never had a problem with viruses.

I’ve had a hardcoverblack case with it since I bought it, so it has been protected at all times. I’ve never dropped it. I am the first owner. Everything will be wiped from the computer, and it will feel like a brand new computer, with a few blemishes. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. Also, I’d be happy to let you test it out first, because I won’t be wiping the hard drive until I have a confirmed buyer.

Example: It will open Microsoft Word in 2 seconds and photoshop in 4 seconds. (812) 212-5269

Political less-than thriller ‘State of Affairs’ D+ I really struggle with network dramas.

I especially struggle to watch network political thrillers.

NBC’s new counter-terrorism show, “State of Affairs,” starring Katherine Heigl, premiered Monday night and, boy, was it tough to endure.

The word that usually comes to mind is “contrived.”

Every conversation and plot twist feels contrived.

In the beginning, the show attempts to feel cute and fun as Heigl’s character is out drinking and sleeping around.

Then there is a ton of interoffice joking to say, “Hey, we are a fun and goofy group of people that are responsible for briefing the President.”

By the way, the two main characters on this show are named Charleston Tucker, Heigl’s character, and President Constance Payton.

Because people totally have names like that, right?

Charleston Tucker sounds like a 1950’s NBA basketball player that rocks short shorts and has a comb-over.

Sorry, where were we?

Tucker is the president’s daily briefer and is dealing with the death of her fiancé, who also happens to be the president’s son.

She deals with his death and the stress of her job by, as I mentioned earlier, going out at

night and sleeping with random guys.

It is just so cliché: the workobsessed protagonist with emotional demons.

Most good television is starting to move away from that because it has been done so much in the 21st century.

The “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” archetype is fading away in favor of new, original ideas.

Also, Heigl simply is not very good on this show. I don’t take anything she says seriously as she rambles about her strong opinions about how a terrorism situation should be handled.

I cannot handle her constantly constipated face as she tries to look dramatic.

One of my favorite moments of this show takes place in an elevator as Tucker is meeting a new CIA briefer.

About 10 seconds into meeting him she says, “You’re very handsome and very old.”

Who talks like that?

Then we find out that one went to UNC and the other went to Duke.

Aw, a cute reason for them to butt heads.

This is the big issue with network dramas, for the most part.

All of the dialogue is contrived and the acting is not good enough to make up for it.

I feel like I am watching a daytime soap-opera-quality show but with some better camera work.

That’s about it.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 Potter and the Deathly Hallows” and, God help me, “Breaking Dawn.”

There’s always a risk of losing the moral of a story to film. In this particular series, it is especially important that the main points are not lost.

“The Hunger Games” is

about a society in which children are forced to murder one another for audience entertainment. It’s about the manipulation of the media. It’s a wake-up call to our own media. It’s about a traumatized teenage girl constantly forced to bear the weight of the world on her shoulders.

It’s imperative that these

themes aren’t romanticized by overplayed love triangles puntuated with awkward kisses and fancy special effects.

What we should hope to see is a strong female character not defined by the desires of the men around her as female characters so often fall victim to.

Katniss is the hero this

generation needs. She is by no means perfect. She’s clever, but she’s not the smartest. She’s skilled, but she’s not the strongest. She’s brave, but she isn’t without fear. She has been damaged, but she doesn’t break.

That is the kind of strong female character missing in the media today, and “The Hunger Games” series is

the slap in the face we all needed.

Love the effects, cry at the soundtrack. But don’t let those aspects of the film distract you from the real issues “The Hunger Games” series brings to light.

If we let the flashy lights and OTPs dominate our thoughts, we are no better than those in the Capitol.

activities follow the standard “Assassin’s Creed” formula of insta-fail stealth missions, near-pointless collectibles scattered across the map and the scaling of towers to open up the minimap.

This is Ubisoft’s formula at its most generic.

Controls have always been finicky at best in “Assassin’s Creed,” but Paris’ dense environments make that more blindingly obvious.

To address this, a descend button has been built into the controls to make it more intuitive, but it’s not much help when it takes Arno far too many attempts to get into a window or constantly sticks to surfaces when not necessary.

“Assassin’s Creed: Unity” is very disappointing for the seventh iteration in a wellestablished series.

Technical glitches, crass monetization and an abject failure to address the series’ longstanding problems with controls and camera result in a mediocre experience and a poor showing for Ubisoft.

While patches are on the way, this is not a title to recommend to anyone but the most hardcore “Assassin’s Creed” fans.

That is that great acting needs to be highlighted by great direction in order to be appreciated. Then, a good script needs to be in place to make the acting or direction relevant.

The best word to describe how I felt about this movie is “awe.”

I was in awe watching the way the film was shot and watching how good acting can be.

It is nice to be reminded some times.
