Bloomington Farmers’ Market names salsa contest winners By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP
The smell of fresh-squeezed lime juice, tomatoes and garlic permeated Showers Plaza at City Hall. The Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market was host to the city’s 26th annual salsa contest Saturday. Thirty salsas were entered into three categories, said Ellie Symes, a farmers’ market intern. The three categories were raw, cooked and specialty salsa. Each category had first through third place winners, announced at the end of the contest. Launching the contest was a salsa and guacamole demonstration by Nick’s English
Hut owner Gregg Rago. “Salsa does not need to be complicated,” he said. Rago said he is a regular at the salsa contest, but not as a contender. Word-of-mouth connected him to the contest organizers, and about 15 years ago he said he started getting involved in the contest as a demonstrator. Rago showed the audience how to make salsa and guacamole using fresh ingredients. “I do this quite a bit,” he said. Rago said he is lucky his restaurant is staffed well enough that he has the free time to come to the market for events like this. It was also helpful that he had a strong presence at the farmers’ market.
HOW DO I MAKE FRESH SALSA? Watch a video demonstration from Saturday’s contest by Nick’s English Hut owner Gregg Rago on idsnews.com. “I tend to be flamboyant,” he said. “People know who I am.” The main ingredients involved in the demonstration were beefsteak tomatoes, red onion, garlic, lime, salt, jalepeno and cilantro. However, people should not feel limited to those ingredients, he said. “There’s so much to enjoy,” Rago said. People could opt for a fruit salsa if they SEE SALSA, PAGE 6
Indiana added 9,900 private sector jobs in July, according to a news release from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. This is the second consecutive month in which Indiana has seen a large influx of jobs in the private sector. The state has added more than 66,300 jobs in the private sector in the last year and more than 244,000 since July 2009 when the state’s employment reached its lowest. Gains in the private sector, or the part of the economy run by individuals and companies for profit, came mainly from the manufacturing sector, which added about 5,500 jobs. Other sectors experiencing gains include trade, transportation and utilities, private educational and health services, construction and financial activities. Sectors seeing losses were professional and business services as well as leisure and hospitality. But despite a large influx in private sector jobs, unemployment in Indiana remained stagnant at 5.9 percent in July. “While the number of jobs is increasing, more people are being encouraged to enter the labor market,” economics professor Eric Leeper said. “The labor force is a ratio.” When you have an increase in the number of people searching for jobs and an increase in the number of jobs available, then the unemployment rate will see little to no change, Leeper said. Economically, Indiana is holding steady compared to the rest of the nation. Indiana sits 0.3 percent below the national unemployment rate of 6.2 percent. The state also ranks second in the Midwest, with a rate 0.2 percent higher than that of Ohio. Scott Sanders, commissioner of the Indiana Department of SEE JOBS, PAGE 6
Freshman class reflects focus on diversity in Strategic Plan By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma
A record-breaking group of first-year students heads to its first classes today. Making up this year’s class is 7,708 students, compared to last year’s 7,604. “We have a larger class because IU continues to be attractive,” said David Johnson, vice provost of enrollment management. A record 1,042 underrepresented minorities enrolled, marking the first time more than 1,000 underrepresented minorities have enrolled, reflecting progress toward Strategic Plan goals. The African-American and Hispanic populations experienced a particularly large boost, with a 7-percent increase and a 10-percent increase, respectively, according to the release. Additionally, 711 international students represent 41 countries and six continents, while domestic students come from 47 of 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, and 89 of 92 Indiana counties. Neither Idaho, Montana nor North Dakota, nor Warren, Fulton or Pulaski counties are represented. Fifty-seven percent of students are in-state domestic, 34 percent are out-of-state domestic and 9 percent are international, compared to last year’s 58
percent, 34 percent and 8 percent, respectively. A new team focused on diversity-oriented recruitment and a new position, filled by Khala Granville, focused on Indianapolis-based recruitment, were created for the increase in diversity, Johnson said. Johnson also attributed the increase to increased collaboration between the Office of Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs and the Groups Scholars, Hudson and Holland and 21st Century Scholars programs. “IU is a global institution,” Johnson said. “It is not just a state or national, but an international institution. It is imperative that we have differing ideas and thoughts in the classroom. Opportunity for learning is greatly increased when we have a diverse student population. And it reflects the greater society of not just the state or the U.S. but of the world.” The increase in diversity reflects the University’s increased focus on diversity, particularly on the recruitment and enrollment of underrepresented minorities, found in the IU Bloomington Strategic Plan. “(Diversity) is part of the Strategic Plan because every group that worked on the Strategic Plan had a diversity component, and the provost is very interested in
ensuring that we provide appropriate focus there to really make good on our plans to enroll a very talented, yet diverse class,” Johnson said. “And it was a very collaborative approach.” This year’s class not only grew in numbers but in academic achievement, as well, with a higher median GPA. The class has a median high school GPA of 3.73, the highest in IU history and a slight jump from last year’s 3.72, and the second highest mean combined SAT/ACT score of 1215, a minor drop from last year’s 1217, according to a press release. In this year’s class, 33.3 percent were in the top 10 percent of their high school class, compared to last year’s 34.5 percent, and 26 percent of this year’s class were admitted directly into an academic program, compared to last year’s 25 percent. Students arriving with sophomore status make up 8.9 percent of the class, compared to last year’s 8.6 percent. “It’s recruitment, it’s scholarships, it’s the reputation of IU and then it’s the continued just being more selective as a selective institution, just becoming more selective with whom we’re able to admit and just having a much brighter applicant pool,” Johnson said.

Men’s soccer defeats No. 6 Washington By Andrew Vailliencourt availlie@indiana.edu | @AndrewVcourt
After falling to Xavier on Tuesday in the team’s first exhibition match, the IU men’s soccer team came back in a big way, toppling the No. 6 Washington Huskies 1-0. IU junior forward Femi HollingerJanzen scored the game’s lone goal in the 64th minute with an assist by sophomore midfielder Tanner Thompson. “The ball was played to Jamie Vollmer in the left corner,” HollingerJanzen said. “He did a great job of holding the defender off and played
it back to Tanner Thompson, who played a great ball in, and it was just a one foot touch in.” The game was played at Carroll High School in Fort Wayne, as a part of the ShinDigz National Soccer Festival. With a young team, consisting of 10 freshmen, IU Coach Todd Yeagley said the primary focus was evaluating the players on the roster. “The most important piece was figuring out what player options we have in a few spots,” Yeagley said. “One in particular was right back.” SEE SOCCER, PAGE 6

IU grad spreads Baháí Faith By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu | @_lindsaymoore
Wedged between two large religious studies books sat a pamphlet on the Bahá’í Faith. This small, beat-up, spineless pamphlet in a high school library was a turning point for recent IU graduate Natalie Bantz. Four years later, Bantz is a declared member of the Bahá’í faith. As a practicing member, Bantz represented the Bahá’í Faith of Bloomington at the Welcome Week Faith Fest on Sunday where 17 other student faith-driven communities also set up tables. Bahá’í is a monotheistic religion that teaches all other religions come from the same source. This community focuses on the tenants of the Oneness of God, the Oneness of Religion and the Oneness of Mankind. “Before, when I didn’t have the Bahá’í faith, I wanted peace for the world and I wanted people to end war and strife, but I didn’t have any way to do it,” Bantz said. “In high school, I was kind of despondent because I really wanted things to change, but I didn’t know any way of doing it.” It wasn’t until her freshman year that she found the Bahá’í center in Bloomington through the IU Classifieds. “When I came to college, I decided that it was a really good opportunity to explore this faith that I was really interested in, which is kind of what college is about — exploring your own world views and spiritual views rather than the ones that you grew up with,” Bantz said. The Bahá’í Faith of Bloomington center offers devotions every Sunday morning. In addition, free Ruhi classes are held regularly for all community members, which include scripture readings and virtues beyond just the Bahá’í faith. Members of the Bahá’í community follow the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í faith. He is considered to be a divine messenger, comparable to Christ or Buddha, according to the Bahá’í website. These teachings stress equality between religions, races and gender. This also includes the harmony between
The Leading Index for Indiana shows signs of the state’s economy improving. The Leading Index is produced by the Indiana Business Research Center in the Kelley School of Business. With offices at both the Indianapolis and Bloomington campuses, researchers calculate the monthly index as a way for Indiana governments and businesses to understand the general trends in the state’s economy such as whether it is improving or declining, according to a press release. The August index of 101.6 showed slight improvement from the revised July index of 101.2. While the transporta-
tion component of the index dropped slightly, growth in manufacturing, the auto sector and home building were enough to propel the index forward. The Leading Index is reaching its final days, and the last report will be published Oct. 21. A recent study from Wells Fargo found that the relationship between interest rates was no longer an effective measure of an economy’s direction, according to the release. As a result, though the interest rate is only one of five components of the Leading Index, Timothy Slaper, research director of the IBRC, said in the release that the report will require rethinking.

science and religion. “You become proud of the fact that you can teach racial harmony and equality of the genders,” Bantz said. “It makes you proud to be a Bahá’í to be able to foster peace, which is pretty much what the world needs most right now.” Bahá’í practices not only being a better Bahá’í but being a better person, Bantz said. The faith teaches members to focus on their own shortcomings rather than others’. This also means the elimination of “backbiting” or gossiping behind others’ backs. “These teachings are put in place for humanity because it is the healthiest way that humanity can live,” Bantz said. Although Bahá’í is the youngest monotheistic religion, founded in 1844, it is the second most widespread religion in the world, spanning more than 236 countries, according to the Bahá’í website. This is largely in part due to the eldest son and successor of Bahá’u’lláh `Abdu’lBahá and his proclamation to the members of Bahá’í to
spread the word of the faith, said Sarah Enslow, member of Bahá’í. The word of Bahá’u’lláh teaches “ignorance and lack of education are barriers of separation among mankind,” according to Bahá’í literature. The scriptures of Bahá’u’lláh are also universal, which allow for a diverse Bahá’í community. “Because we are so focused on racial harmony, it appeals to people all over the world because everybody wants that,” Bantz said. “At any Bahá’í meeting you’ll see people of all different ages, nationalities and races. Everyone is working together to spread the message of Bahá’u’lláh.” The Bahá’í community currently spans more than five million people, including nearly every national, ethnic and religious background, according to the Bahá’í website. “I found a community that is working towards peace everyday of their lives,” Bantz said. “That’s the big difference for me.”
Greenfield, Ind., resident Austin Dunn was arrested by Indiana State Excise Police on Saturday after running away from an excise officer, who caught him trying to use a fake ID at Kilroy’s Sports Bar. Dunn was chased down an alley and arrested. Police later found a pill bottle full of what field tests indicated was cocaine, according to a press release from state excise police. Indiana State Excise Police made 134 alcohol- and drug-related arrests in college towns this weekend, according to the release. Specific Bloomington arrests included 60 people arrested for illegal possession or consumption of alcohol, 31 cited or arrested for possessing a false ID and 13 minors arrested for making a false statement of age to an employee at a licensed establishment, according to the press release. Police also sent out a
release reminding students on Indiana college campuses of state alcohol laws, including the Indiana Lifeline Law in order to encourage safe behavior during move-in weekend. Excise officers focus on violations of the Alcoholic Beverage Code, particularly underage possession and consumption of alcohol, adults providing alcohol to minors, possession and use of false IDs and related crimes such as drunk driving, according to the press release. “The goal of the state excise police this week is to help ensure that students arrive on college campuses across the state safely,” Superintendent Matt Strittmatter said. “Sadly, in recent years, at least one student has lost a life because of the excessive consumption of alcohol. We will work diligently to prevent such tragic losses of life.” Sarah Zinn

Students test the Jordan River in G201: Service Learning in Chemistry Water Quality Monitoring.
Service-learning class teaches water testing By Amanda N. Marino ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino
Chemistry professor Benjamin Burlingham and his students are gearing up for another semester of combining science and community service through a course called G201: Service Learning in Chemistry, Water Quality Monitoring. In the class, 18 and 24 students will spend the semester going out and monitoring a variety of chemical levels and animal life inhabiting the waterways near the city. The group will also provide the state with vital information about locations such as the Jordan River and Cascades Creek. Previously, the class worked at Clear Creek. “It’s very hands-on,” Burlingham said, who has taught the class for two semesters. He said the class is perfect for students with an interest in biology and chemistry who also want to service the community. The course, originally created by chemistry professor Kate Reck and Kriste Lindberg, a Bloomington education specialist, utilizes the Hoosier Riverwatch resources for training purposes, Burlingham said. Hoosier Riverwatch is an Indiana Department of Environmental Management program that trains people to monitor waterways by educating them on the physical, chemical and biological properties expected in specific areas, Lindberg said. “Our department never had a service learning class
before,” Reck said. Students have even enrolled in the course multiple times since its inception in spring 2011. “What we try to do is find locations to monitor the water where people will go and actually interact with the water,” she said. After training, students are divided into groups of three or four with kits similar to those used to test chemicals in a pool. From there, the groups are assigned to areas of the Jordan River or Cascades Creek, Burlingham said. Within the kits, students received tools to test for phosphates, which can cause an excess of algae growth, nitrates, oxygen levels, water temperature, turbidity (whether or not water is excessively cloudy with sediment) and animal life in and near the water, Reck said. While a well-balanced ecosystem can maintain these levels automatically, humans introducing an excess of these chemicals and conditions can cause serious problems, Reck said. Burlingham said students take their data and record it into a statewide database. “This is a course that takes the classroom theory a student develops and puts it into practice,” he said. Along with this field work, Burlingham said students are taught the basic theories and concepts necessary to complete analysis, work on projects and tour professional facilities involved in the same work they are doing, such as water treatment plants.
Reck said students often can’t see the “big picture” of what they are learning in general chemistry, but classes like this help to bring a real-world focus to the forefront of the learning experience. Students will also go out and pursue service projects relevant to the class, such as cleaning waterways and labeling storm drains as “no dumping” locations, he said. “This is real life stuff, and it makes a difference,” Lindberg said. She said work done by the students in G201 has not gone unnoticed. The project was awarded the BRAVO Award from the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department in spring 2011 and was recognized by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management in May 2013. Reck said the upcoming semester will include more community outreach than in previous semesters. She said students in G201 will be working with local high school students to bring them to the sites they monitor and teach them about the process. This kind of education is vital in Indiana because about half of the waterways are not monitored. IDEM doesn’t currently have the resources to employ people to go out and consistently monitor the waterways statewide, Reck said. Along with community outreach, Lindberg said IU might soon be one of many universities offering courses like G201, Lindberg said. “The word’s getting out,” she added.
Hundreds of students gathered at the IU Helene G. Simon Hillel Center on Sunday evening for the annual Welcome Back BBQ dinner. Freshman and returning students alike enjoyed tables of free food and visited more than 20 booths advertising the various Hillel affiliated organizations, ranging from community service groups to baking clubs. “We like to tell students we are their Jewish home away from home,” said Rabbi Sue Silberberg, executive director of Hillel. Silberberg estimated between 500 and 1000 students would attend the barbecue. Freshmen Katie Smith and Julia Rubenstein said they came to the barbecue to meet new people and figure out how to get involved with Jewish life on campus. “I was really involved with the Jewish community in high school, and I wanted to stay involved,” Rubenstein said. Rubenstein said the Shabbat dinner she attended Friday night has been her favorite Hillel event so far. Greeting students entering the barbecue was Carrie Seleman, a junior on the Hillel student board of directors, who said the people are the best part of Hillel. “When you walk into this building, there is always something going on,” Seleman said. “People always invite you to join them.” Jackie Gallagher, a sophomore on the student board of directors, agreed, and said Hillel helps her maintain her Jewish faith in college. “Judaism is a big part of my life, so it was really great to meet a lot of people who share that,” Gallagher said. Hooshir A Cappella, IU’s co-ed Jewish A Cappella group, serenaded attendees both inside and outside the house during the evening. Marissa Shrell, a senior in Hooshir a Cappella, said the group consists of about 10 Jewish and non-Jewish students and sings both Jewish and American music. “We hang out and practice in the Hillel house

three times a week,” she said. Auditions for Hooshir A Cappella will be 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 8 and 10 at the Hillel Center. Other upcoming events include call-out days all of this week, a barbecue at McNutt on Sunday and Shabbat dinners every Friday. Haley Cohen, a junior on the Hillel board of directors, said she hopes to change the dynamic of Hillel from a place students come to for special events to something that is a part
of their daily lives. “We’re looking for it to be a pit stop during the day to hang out between classes, do some homework, hang out with some kids and become more of just an everyday thing rather than just some place you go on Shabbat,” she said. Nate Saed, a senior on the student board of directors, said the goal is to make Hillel the best environment possible. “If I can duplicate what Hillel did for me for other students, I would love to do that,” he said.

Ferguson is the elephant in the room
“Final Destination” at the VMAs
WE SAY: There’s a fine line between looking for attention and harassment
CASEY FARRINGTON is a senior in political science
What is happening in Ferguson, Mo., is “modern history,” according to Edwardsville High School senior Abigail Wilson, as reported in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The school district has reportedly banned any discussion of Ferguson in the classroom. Edwardsville is about a half-hour drive outside of Ferguson, located in a mostly white school district in southern Illinois. Denial is a convenient strategy for those Americans who aren’t forced to think about their race. People today insist we are “post-racial” or we “don’t see race.” We tout President Barack Obama’s blackness as a symbol of our tolerance. Meanwhile, according to a USA Today report, almost half of all black men can expect to be arrested by the time they are 23, and black women can expect to make little more than two-thirds what a white man makes in any given year. Racism isn’t necessarily a Ku Klux Klan-like militarization of what are essentially mercenary forces of local idiots. Racism today is systematic and indisious. It damages by turning societal oppresion into a side effect of federal and local government inefficiency. At Edwardsville High School, black students make up 8 percent of the student population, according to the Civil Rights Data Collection, but account for 14 to 15 percent of suspensions. Researchers at the University of California-Los Angeles have shown that black boys as young as 10 are perceived to be considerably older than their white counterparts and therefore less innocent. This might explain why, when something goes wrong at school, black students are much more likely to come in contact with the criminal justice system than white students. Silencing students doesn’t make these problems go away. If anything, ignorance of these issues, and their roots in the very foundation of our republic, make the problems worse. Edwardsville officials purport to be concerned that teachers might share their opinions about Ferguson rather than remaining objective facilitators. But surely the district can reprimand teachers who cross the line individually rather than censor the topic altogether. Instead, the district has chosen to stifle curious minds, forcing students to pretend that history isn’t being made just miles away. Students have been told the one thing they are eager to learn about isn’t worth the study. Edwardsville and any school district that similarly restricts speech is committing educational malpractice. Not talking about Ferguson won’t make the protests stop. It won’t improve relations between the citizenry and the police force. It won’t bring justice to Mike Brown or his family. But talking about these problems — frankly and respectfully — could prevent future tragedies from happening. Acknowledging that racial issues aren’t a nonproblem or a “them” problem, but a happening-as-wespeak, “us” problem could help us rebuild a community and protect others from fracturing. Refusing to talk about it is not working, and students know it. If only school officials could catch up. casefarr@indiana.edu

Internet trolling is generally seen as a laughable way pathetic people get attention, and many find it is easy to ignore. When Robin Williams took his own life earlier this month, his daughter Zelda Williams was suddenly under attack. According to Gawker, she posted a tribute to her father shortly after the announcement of his death. She was subsequently harassed and cyberstalked via Twitter and Instagram. Users left cruel and threatening comments about her and her father. She later deleted her profiles on both social media platforms. Students don’t necessarily face the same level of insensitivity some celebrities or public figures can undergo. But young people such as college students can face
serious cases of cyberstalking and cyber harassment. If someone is vocal enough, or lacks a sense of caution online, they can make themselves incredibly vulnerable to trolls and stalkers. Social media often makes many forget that when they interact with celebrities, businesses or even friends and family online, they are dealing with actual people, and some things we feel brave saying online we know would be highly inappropriate in person. However, more often than not, Internet trolls exist as instigators. If a person has a level head, they will know to let hate simply roll off their back. But this needless and cruel torment of a grieving daughter takes it one step too far. It indicates that Internet trolling has allowed some users anonymity for their
dangerous and sometimes inhumane actions. Hateful speech and ideas are, indeed, protected under the First Amendment. These instances are classified as criminal offenses when they lead to violations of privacy, cyber harassment and cyberstalking, according to Danielle Keats Citron in her book, “Hate Crimes in Cyberspace.” Online perpetrators can be criminally prosecuted for threats, invasion of privacy, stalking, harassment, intimidation and can even be sued for defamation and intentional affliction of emotional distress. The fact that Zelda Williams was so thoroughly ripped apart that she was forced to delete her presence online makes the Editorial Board question if there isn’t something more that should be done about protecting so-
cial media users. The unfortunate thing is that many social media platforms simply lack the resources to stop inappropriate online interaction other than to just delete or block the accounts in question. But the same troll can still create multiple accounts. There’s no guarantee they’re gone forever. As this world becomes more public, and as more people create online presences and begin to interact with each other via the Internet, social media giants must take a serious look at how they can protect their users from dangerous behavior. Social media is becoming a common thoroughfare for social interaction. The same laws that protect people in the real world from dangerous people should apply online.
BANK ON IT
Stop slut-shaming in schools Dress codes. We’ve all had to deal with them. We’ve all been victim to the hems-below-your-fingertips rule. Straps at least an inch wide. It’s fair to say that not all students follow dress codes. Whether it’s due to ignorance or blatant insubordination, we can’t always say, but it can push school officials to do or say something offensive. Noble Public Schools Superintendent Ronda Bass fell into that category when she referred to her female students as “skanks” because of the way they were dressed. According to a recent Jezebel column, Bass called for an assembly the first day of school at Noble High School in Noble, Okla., where she addressed the multitude of female dress code violations. Bass claims she first asked how many believed there were female students dressed inappropriately. She said most hands went up.
Strike one. She immediately called out only girls. Girls are the problem, they’re the inappropriate ones. They need to change to meet her standards. Senior Stephanie Stewart had a different version of what Bass said. “The first question was, ‘Have y’all ever seen any “skanks” around this school?’” Stewart said in an interview with KFOR, a local news station. And toward the end of her speech, Stewart claims Bass added, “I don’t want to see anyone’s ass hanging out of their shorts.” Strike two. Bass slutshamed her students. When interviewed by KFOR, she didn’t even deny those words. Bass defended herself by saying she heard people from other towns calling the girls at Noble High School such names. Bass used those words to send a message that she didn’t want the girls to be called those names. She was trying to push
the girls to a higher, classier standard by giving them a negative label for their individual style choices. So inspirational. The following day, Bass performed a dress code check. She asked only girls to stand up and asked some of them to bend over, claiming, “If you’re not comfortable with bending over, we might have a problem.” Strike three. Instead of acting like a professional and asking the girls to come to her office to discuss the matter privately, Bass publicly humiliated the teenage girls. Stewart was reportedly one of the girls singled out. Bass felt her dress was too short. Stewart said many of her friends went home crying, according to the interview. Bass later sent an email to faculty, telling them the female students were “pushing the limits” and asked them to stay on top of the issue until “a new

norm of modesty is established.” Bass went too far. Her eagerness to protect the reputations of her students borders on what could be considered harassment and stepped over the line of sexism. Nowhere in these reports are males ever addressed. It is purely an issue with girls. High school students are vulnerable enough. The last thing they need is a school official claiming to do what’s best for them by calling them “skanks” and blaming the girls for the titles strangers give them. Bass acted innapropriately. She humiliated her students. She demonstrated sexist behavior. She cannot keep her position. lnbanks@indiana.edu

The events in Ferguson, Mo., surrounding the death of Michael Brown have set off a firestorm of backlash, leading many to question the tactics of various police forces on a larger level. For many in Indiana, we feel removed from the national scandal simply because we do not often see uprisings in our city streets, or because we’re starting classes and textbooks are $600 and that’s a little more immediate, to say the least. But as national events have played out, at least eight Indiana counties have acquired Mine-Resistant Ambush Protection vehicles, according to the Indianapolis Star. When I first heard that Indiana was outfitting itself with what were essentially tanks, I had to ask why. Hoosiers are not exactly violent. Outfitting local police forces with old military equipment is apparently a decades-old strategy. Police forces can and have received military-grade body armor, mine-resistant trucks, silencers and automatic rifles. No one thought anything of it. But as tanks rolled through Ferguson’s streets and guns were pointed at protesters and bystanders alike, the nation was suddenly able to see the danger in arming local police forces with big military-grade weapons. Now, President Barack Obama has ordered a comprehensive White House review of military suppliers to police. The review will look into whether or not the government and armed forces should continue outfitting police. It will also look into whether or not local authorities have sufficient training. Training is perhaps the most important point, for me, on this review. Several military veterans have been incredibly vocal on social media about the obvious lack of training the Ferguson police have received. These instances might also be contributing factors as to the escalating violence in the streets. I want my police officers to be able to protect themselves, but we can’t hand someone a machine gun and tell them that if they were trained for a pistol, it’s the same. Now, local Indiana police forces are receiving militarygrade weaponry. We don’t know if they are properly trained, and we don’t know if they understand how to appropriately handle a military machine gun. We need to be able to trust that when there is a violent situation, riot, uprising, mass shooting or anything else that puts civilians in harm’s way, our police forces will approach the situation with care, not guns — militarygrade guns at that. Civilians are not soldiers. We need to take a serious look at the militarization of our police forces, of how good an idea it is to give a small, local force weaponry intended for our military. In Indiana and in Bloomington, we might feel as if there is little we can do. But we can stand up to protect ourselves against untrained and violent authorities. We can demand intense training for specialized forces and weaponry that local authorities receive. We might be too far removed to help Ferguson or its tragedy. But we can learn from it. ewenning@indiana.edu

WonderLab celebrates National Dog Day By Alden Woods aldwoods@indiana.edu | @acw9293
These days, Chase doesn’t move quite like he used to. His old racing nickname doesn’t apply anymore. He’s no longer “Fast-Paced Chase,” as the locals once called him. Age has slowed him — he’s just Chase now. He and three other former racers have joined Steve Vaughn on the second floor of the WonderLab Museum to celebrate Tuesday’s National Dog Day with the city’s families. Kids love him, lining up three-deep for a chance to meet him. A young girl bounces up to him, a mess of pigtails and pink dress dragging behind her, to rub his head. Chase wakes up, cracks open an eye and climbs to his feet. He looks her over as she leans in. He opens his mouth, appearing to smile, and steps forward to lick her face. Chase is a retired racing greyhound, a 61-pound bundle of bone and muscle. Despite the dog’s racing past, Steve Vaughn, a Bloomington resident and member of Greyhound Pets of America, refers to Chase and his friends as “40-milean-hour couch potatoes.” “To qualify to race, a greyhound has to be able to do 43 miles an hour around the track,” he said. “That won’t win anything, but it’ll get him on the track. To win, he’s going to have to do 48, maybe 50 miles an hour. But then they’re done.” For Chase, those days are in the past. Now, four and a half years removed from the track, his role requires a

little less speed than before. “It’s just to honor the relationship between humans and dogs in general,” Vaughn said of the celebration. “We do what we call a meet-and-greet here. We do a couple of them a month in the city, but we always come here every year to honor the relationship.” Now in its 10th year, National Dog Day is intended to give the country’s dogs a
day in the spotlight. As part of the event, Vaughn’s greyhound group and the Monroe County Humane Association spent Sunday afternoon in WonderLab, raising awareness for the protection and adoption of dogs. Kathy Morrision, a dog therapy advocate for the Humane Association, said Sunday’s celebration presents an opportunity to reach the
community through face-toface interaction with dogs. “A lot of what we do is outreach to children, and we have many children who come up to us and are afraid of dogs,” she said. “But with just a few minutes of being around these calm dogs and with our encouragement, we actually see them pet a dog. It’s really quite amazing.” While the Humane
Association doesn’t handle the pickup or adoption of stray dogs — those duties fall to the city’s animal shelter — Morrison said she has seen a rise in awareness of dogs that could trigger an increase in adoptions. “I would think so, because there’s extra awareness,” she said. “I do think there’s probably a trickle effect.” With Morrison on the
museum’s ground floor and Vaughn on its second, dogs surrounded Sunday’s WonderLab visitors. While no adoptions were available on-site, both advocates remarked about the constant attention their dogs received. “It’s outreach and education,” Morrison said. “It’s part of our mission to get out in the community with these dogs.”
BPD reaches out to students through social media From IDS reports
Bloomington police are trying to reach IU students through Twitter and Facebook to build a more crime-savvy community. By encouraging students to follow @BltgnINPolice on Twitter or like Bloomington Police Department on Facebook, the BPD hopes students will be more aware of criminal activity in town, according to a press release. “Our overall goal is to improve communication and
reduce crime,” Cpt. Joe Qualters said in the release. “We want to take the opportunity to make them more aware of steps they can take to avoid being a crime victim and encourage them to be more vigilant once they are made aware criminal activity has been reported in their area.” Currently, the BPD Twitter and Facebook accounts post information on crime prevention and activities the department is involved with. It also provides a forum for public tips about suspect
identification. The department plans to cater more of that information to IU students, the press release said. The department listed goals, including crime alerts, crime prevention tips before student breaks and informative reminders on various topics, such as Indiana’s Lifeline Law and specific enforcement campaigns. “Students are often targeted and frequently report being victims of property crimes, but reaching out
and getting information to students has been an ongoing challenge for the department,” Qualters said. “They live in neighborhoods but are typically not members of neighborhood associations with whom we already share information and those who live in apartment complexes rarely get any information at all about burglaries or thefts from vehicles that might be occurring around them.” Sarah Zinn

Initially, Coxen denied the battery, saying the child fell out of her swing, but the story did not match the doctor’s statement regarding her injuries, Gladish added. Later, he reportedly admitted to becoming frustrated at the child when she
wouldn’t sleep, so he put his hand over her mouth while applying pressure. He also admitted to grabbing her shoulders, Gladish said. Coxen was not booked in Monroe County Jail. Sarah Zinn

He said he and his wife watch the health of their food. It is easier to control when it’s homemade, he said. Home cooking also enables some freedom with the flavors that go into the condiment. Remove as many seeds as possible from the fruit before chopping to reduce excess liquid. He squeezed tomato halves over a bin like an orange to seed them. Drag the flat side of the knife against salted, chopped garlic to create a garlic paste, he said. The salt will help pulverize the garlic while the pushing motions will create a purée to season the dip. He had one tip for chefs of all levels: use a sharp knife. “A lot of people don’t cook anymore,” he said. It’s sad, he said. It may
be easier to go buy a bottle of salsa rather than accumulate the ingredients. However, aside from the health benefits of non-processed food, Rago said it’s more sustainable to buy your own ingredients. People should not be intimidated by cooking, especially when it comes to a simple preparation such as salsa, he said. “If you don’t like it, add something else to it,” he said. After an hour of tastings, the winners were announced for each catogory. Harrold Adkisson won first place in the raw category for his green and black salsa. One judge said it was the “best salsa I’ve tasted since this competition began.” Thomas Williamson won first in the cooked category for his summer black bean salsa. Judges said it “looked good before you taste it.” Luz Lopez won first for the specialty category for her tomatillo salsa verde with avocado. One judge described it as a “smooth salsa verde with a kick.”
Freshman Trevor Swartz got the start at right back and impressed the coaching staff. Sophomore Colin Webb started in front of the net and got the win, making one save. He was replaced in the second half by junior Sean Weidman, who made two saves. Washington tallied 11 shots in the second half, giving them a 13-8 advantage for the match. “I was pleased we got the shutout,” Yeagley said. “We want to make a point of taking pride in zeros.” After allowing 38 goals last season, compared to the 18 they allowed during their national championship season in 2012, a main focus of the team early on has been playing better defense. “I thought we defended well,” Yeagley said. “Washington is a team that returned all of their top goal scorers. They scored 45 goals last season, which is a good number of goals in a season. They have some firepower.”
He said the player who stood out most was junior forward Andrew Oliver, who tallied two shots in the game. “Andrew was probably the man of the match,” he said. He also noted that freshman defender Grant Lillard had a nice game and can be a contributor to the team. Hollinger-Janzen said beating the defending Pac-12 Champions, who went to the Elite 8 last season, is a great way to move into the season. “We wanted to be able to finish the game,” HollingerJanzen said. “We were struggling in the second half, and the team did a good job of playing all 90 minutes.” IU kicks off its regular season with a home match Friday against No. 9 Georgetown. They then take on No. 12 Marquette Sunday as a part of the Adidas/IU Credit Union Classic at Bill Armstrong Stadium. “I like the fact that this group has an edge and wants to win everything they do,” Yeagley said. “I think chemistry-wise, we are coming together pretty quickly.”

IU women’s soccer splits opening weekend By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu | @Sam_Beishuizen
For most of the weekend, IU Coach Amy Berbary thought her defense played well. IU women’s soccer opened its season Friday with a 2-0 victory against Indiana State at home. And for 89 minutes Sunday, the Hoosiers kept Eastern Michigan off the board on the road. But for one minute, the Hoosier defense let up. The temporary defensive lapse was just enough for Eastern Michigan. The Eagles scored two goals in 55 seconds. “They both had to do with our communication,” senior defender Tori Keller said of the two goals. “We definitely let our guard down a little bit.” The defensive breakdown happened the 25th minute Sunday. One of Eastern Michigan’s center midfielders got forward on the Hoosier back line. The IU defense wasn’t expecting the move and couldn’t get back in enough time to stop senior forward Angela Vultaggio from scoring. After allowing a goal, the entire IU team huddled together to discuss
what just happened so the team could correct it. But after the unexpected first goal, Keller said the team rushed through the discussion. On the ensuing Eastern Michigan counter attack, Vultaggio once again found the back of the net for her second goal in 55 seconds. Berbary said one of the strengths from last year’s NCAA Tournament team was the ability to rebound after mistakes. But her young team put their heads down after allowing the first goal. The brief lapse in concentration was just enough to lead to a costly second goal. “That was something we were so good at last year,” Berbary said. “We went down, and we didn’t blink. This time, we went down, and we went down again 55 seconds later.” The 55 seconds of poor defense overshadowed what was largely a game in which IU dominated possession. The Hoosiers outshot the Eagles 24-8, but only five of IU’s shots were on goal and all were saved. Being unable to convert on scoring chances has become an Achilles’ SEE HOOSIERS, PAGE 11
Stone named IU’s starting goalkeeper By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu | @Sam_Beishuizen
When IU Coach Amy Berbary woke up Friday morning, she wasn’t sure whether junior goalie Sarah Stone would even be able to dress — let alone play — in IU’s season opener against Indiana State. A lingering leg injury sidelined Stone throughout preseason camp. The redshirt junior’s injury kept her sidelined in IU’s preseason game against Louisville, making it unclear who IU’s starting keeper would be. But on Friday, Stone participated in the team’s walkthrough at 10 a.m. With good MRI results, she was medically cleared to play at 10:05 a.m. Stone passed the team’s mandatory fitness test at 11:30 a.m. and was named the team’s starting goalie by Berbary at 11:50 a.m. Eight hours after being cleared and named starter, she recorded her fourth career shutout against Indiana State.

Then-junior Bobby Richardson celebrates after a defensive against Penn State on Oct. 5, 2013, at Memorial Stadium. IU is predicted to improve this season based on a math formula.
Model predicts record will improve By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen
An errant throw, a lapse in judgment and a Minnesota fumble recovery later, IU watched as a potential win — that would have proven to make the Hoosiers bowl-eligible — slip out from underneath them. The Hoosiers stormed back from a 22-point deficit Nov. 2 at Memorial Stadium last season to reach within three points of the Gophers. Threatening to score again, IU faced 2nd and goal from the Minnesota 9-yard line with 25 seconds remaining. But on a backward swing pass from then-sophomore Nate Sudfeld to then-sophomore Tevin Coleman, the Hoosiers lost possession on a fumble that Coleman thought
was an incomplete pass and didn’t attempt to recover. Minnesota went on to run out the clock and hang onto the three-poimt victory. Some called it an unfortunate break. A freak play. Bad luck that proved just how close IU football was to returning to a bowl for the first time since 2007. “Just an unfortunate play and kind of really bad timing,” Sudfeld said after the game. But when predicting individual stats and team records, intangible concepts like luck and “bad timing” don’t exist. In fact, it gets completely tossed out the window. Luck gets replaced by series of formulas and equations. After IU was seemingly one “unfortunate play” away from an elusive bowl appearance last season, the Indiana Daily Student will once again attempt to predict IU
football’s 2014 record using the Pythagorean Expectation Model, or PEM. The model was first developed by statistical pioneer Bill James in the early 1980s when analyzing Major League Baseball. PEM has since been made popular by the likes of Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who has used James’ research as a cornerstone of his analytical managing style, which was made famous by the book and movie “Moneyball.” PEM tries to take luck out of the equation when predicting the amount of wins a team will have. The model evaluates how good a team is relative to points scored, and points allowed. The IDS used PEM this time last year to accurately predict that IU would win at
least five games last season. The Hoosiers finished 5-7. Last season, IU scored 461 points and gave up 466. Based on the formula, the Hoosiers should have a winning percentage of .600, rounded to three decimal points. That equates to last year’s team winning 7.2 games. More than seven wins for last year’s IU football team seems fairly high. One of the downfalls of the PEM formula is that it fails to account for blowouts, which is where the problem here lies. Blowouts, especially extreme blowouts such as IU’s 51-3 loss against Wisconsin, can artificially inflate or deflate a team’s PEM. The not-so-simple solution is to compute the PEM winning percentage on a game-by-game basis and average the results, giving a more accurate reflection of
how the team fared according to the PEM. When computing IU’s PEM with this method, the Hoosiers’ win percentage last season is a projected .487, which equates to 5.848 wins. This figure is eerily similar to about five wins and a nail-biting loss prompted by a fumble on the 9-yard line against Minnesota. The PEM is not always correct in its predictions like other intensive statistical formulas, as it is a reflective model and not a predictive one. However, if the model holds true for the fifth consecutive year, IU should see another slight improvement in its record this season. And based on IU’s predicted 5.848 wins last season, even the slightest improvement could have bowl implications.
“I think we’re all really happy that she’s back,” junior midfielder Jessie Bujouves said of Stone on Friday. “She’s been playing really well.” Stone’s first test of the year came in the 50th minute against Indiana State when a defensive Sarah Stone miscue allowed Sycamore midfielder Maddie Orf to gather the ball at her feet within the 18-yard box and fire a shot seemingly destined for the upper 90. Stone lunged forward, managing to get her outstretched right hand onto the ball and punch it into the air. With the ball’s momentum slowed, she backed up and corralled the ball with both hands to preserve what at the time was a one-goal lead. “It looked like nothing,” Berbary said of the save. “She looked like she was in the circus.” Sunday didn’t go as well for Stone, who has a 73.3 percent save percentage and 4-4 record as a goalie in her career at IU. She allowed a pair of goals within a 55-second stretch in a 2-0 loss to Eastern Michigan. Senior defender Tori Keller said the defense deserved part of the blame. A pair of communication breakdowns among the defensive backs contributed to the goals. But after a few weeks of uncertainty, it has become clear that Stone will be in goal for the forseeable future. “I’ve been with Sarah Stone since my freshman year, and I love having her behind me,” Keller said. “She’s a good communicator and a good distributor, and I think she had a few really huge saves for us today, and she had some good saves for us on Friday. So that’s really all you can ask from your keeper.”

STARRING LINEUP Krewella, B.O.B and Skizzy Mars perform at first block party By Victoria Lutgring vlutgrin@indiana.edu | @vlutgring
This year’s block party scheduled Skizzy Mars, SoMo, Misterwives, B.O.B. and Krewella, but the weather delayed the concert nearly two hours, allowing only three of the performers a chance to take the stage. Skizzy Mars began the concert and was followed by B.O.B., each act lasting about an hour. Krewella performed as the final act. Over the years, Krewella has performed in Bloomington four times before this year’s block party. “Our manager, Jake Udell, actually went to school here, so we show love to this school,” Krewella singer Yasmine Yousaf said. “Our experience here has been amazing,” Yasmine’s sister and fellow band-member Jahan Yousaf said. Krewella’s success has been marked with a lot of publicity. Billboard magazine said they were “going to be huge!” back in 2013 at the Ultra Music Festival.
Krewella’s debut album, “Get Wet,” ranked in the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 200 in its first week. The sold-out concert crowd yelled and screamed for the artists after B.O.B. and Skizzy Mars finished their sets. “Our fans are amazing because they just have this ability to connect with people,” Yasmine said. “They have a very open-minded relationship, and it feels like a giant family.” Yasmine and Jahan formed Krewella with their friend Kristopher Trindl seven years ago in their hometown of Chicago. Since then, they have released an EP, an album and multiple singles. The group just finished a European tour in early August. “We were just raised on music,” Jahan said. “I was in choir, and Yasmine was in an indie band.” Krewella met its third band member early in its career. “I met him when I was 16,” Jahan said. “He was lead guitarist in a metal band, and he started programming his metal band’s music on the computer, and that’s how it seamlessly

and being really dedicated.” Along with touring and releasing singles, the band has been working on its next album. “We’re really excited about the second album, which is coming up,” Jahan said. “Hopefully there will be a new single in the next couple months.”
Buskirk-Chumley premieres ‘Intruders,’ ‘Doctor Who’ By Amanda N. Marino ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino
Hundreds of people decked out in bow ties, fezzes and police box dresses gathered Saturday night inside the Buskirk-Chumley Theater to view the season eight premiere of “Doctor
Who” along with the series premiere of BBC America’s new paranormal thriller, “Intruders.” Before the show, people posed for pictures with cardboard cutouts, taking pictures with phones that had police box covers. They took free handouts while trying to escape the
rain. The Buskirk-Chumley allowed guests to enter the venue early. “We let folks in because of the weather,” said Rebecca Stanze, associate director of the Buskirk-Chumley. An hour before the event even started, Stanze said she was expecting about 400 people in all.
Young and old, people came from miles around to see the show for free, including Matt Broussard, who said he and his wife drove for more than an hour from Center Point, Ind., to come to the show. Broussard stood dressed as Matt Smith, the season seven Doctor.
“My wife and I are huge fans,” Broussard said. He said he likes the show because it is intelligent and funny. He and his wife have been following the show since season one of the new era. “I expect to be pleasantly wowed by the new Doctor,” Broussard said.

With the NFL season rapidly approaching, two former Hoosier football players were subject to roster moves Sunday. Former IU kicker Mitch Ewald will have a chance to start for the Denver Broncos this upcoming season after first-string kicker Matt Prater was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the league’s substance abuse program.
» HOOSIERS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 heel of sorts for the Hoosiers, who combined to outshoot Indiana State and Eastern Michigan 43-17 over the weekend but only managed two goals. In the second half, the Hoosiers managed to put consistent pressure on the Eastern Michigan goal but were unable to convert. In the 56th minute, senior forward Jordan Woolums had a shot hit the bottom side of the crossbar that bounced away from the goal. Freshman defender Mykayla Brown was among a number of Hoosiers who had a chance at a shot on
The suspension is an opportunity for Ewald to prove himself in games replacing Prater, who led the league having made 25 of 26 field goals last season. Ewald was 9 for 11 in field goal attempts his senior year and was 56 for 56 in extra points. Throughout his career, he only missed 1 in 162 extra point attempts. Sunday, nine days after the Chicago Bears announced they signed former IU receiver Kofi Hughes to a one-year con-
tract, Hughes was cut by the team. The Bears was the third NFL team for the rookie, Hughes, who was originally signed with the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent. The Indianapolis native also spent time with the Houston Texans. Hughes’ future is uncertain. All NFL teams must trim their rosters to 76 by 3 p.m. Tuesday.
the rebound, but her effort was blocked by an Eagle defender. Junior midfielder Jessie Bujouves registered eight shots in the game, three of which were on goal. But despite outshooting Eastern Michigan 15-3 in the second half, IU couldn’t find the right finishing touch. At the end of the day, Berbary said the Hoosiers just couldn’t capitalize in the final third of the field. “Unfortunately, we just weren’t patient,” she said. “I don’t even think nervous is the right word .... We’re going to spend a lot of time this week trying to sort that out.” Berbary said she was disappointed that her team
didn’t improve much from the first to the second game, but added the Hoosiers are young and will have to tighten things up in practice. With four consecutive road games ahead, Berbary said the next couple of weeks will be telling. “These are the growing pains of a young team,” Berbary said. “Where we’re going to have a problem is if we don’t get better every game and take some of the mistakes we’ve made and fix them. “That will be what we’ll see over the next couple of weekends, is if we can start to grow and learn from the mistakes. Because every game matters.”

A WALK DOWN SAXE FIFTH AVENUE
How to take tailgate fashion to the next level With the beginning of the school year underway, many of you might be working to perfect your back-toschool wardrobe this week. But think again. The more important question is: what will you be wearing this weekend? Nighttime outfits are a little easier due to the fact that there is typically no theme or rules you have to abide by. But what, you might ask, do I wear to stand out at a tailgate? No need to worry, I’ve got you covered. Seeing as it’s early in the week, you have plenty of time to make one of these looks possible. Option No. 1: CandyStriped Overalls You’re not a true Hoosier until you’ve sported the signature cream and crimson candy stripes over at the stadium.
Pair overalls with a tank top or bandeau underneath for a whimsical ensemble that differs from the typical cut-off jean shorts and Indiana tank. Throw a baseball cap on to complete the look — a cute accessory and the perfect way to cover up any bad hair days. Option No. 2: DIY Crop Top For those of you who are a little more on the crafty side, invest in a plain T-shirt, some paint and a pair of scissors to create your own top for Saturday’s big games. With fringe and crop tops popping up everywhere these past few months, I decided to try out the summer trend and cut my shirt. Accent the crimson of the IU symbol with red shorts and an eye-catching headband. I chose combat boots to create a hard and

An IU jersey and a pair of leggings or jeans never fail, but try giving them an extra “oomph� of Hoosier pride with tattoos from the bookstore or a crimson lip. If you’re feeling especially spirited, grab a sweatband and Indiana athletic socks to match. Take these three easy ideas and jump start your tailgate season. Try them all.

“I think it’s going to be pretty good,� she said. Also in attendance and first in line at the doors were members of the IU Doctor Who Society. President of the society, sophomore Alexandra Koyfman, said the group is made up of a collection of fans who get together to discuss the show, make crafts and eat “Dr. Who�-themed foods. The group started in 2012 and is officially titled, “Whovians at Indiana University� Koyfman, eagerly awaiting the new season, said she picked up the show about a year ago and has loved it ever since. “I’m expecting a different Doctor of course ... who is a little darker,� she said. As a representative from BBC took the stage, the audience went wild, cheering and seemingly agreeing they loved the Doctor. The audience was able to watch the series premiere of “Intruders� three hours before the rest of the world, and they seemed stunned by what they saw. When a character said he thought his friend “had just ended up in Indiana,� the crowd laughed hysterically, but other than that, the audience rarely reacted audibly. “It was grittier than I thought it was going to be,� Broussard said. He said he was sure they were building to something big, but he needs at least three more episodes to answer the whos and whys he didn’t get from the first. Koyfman agreed and said, “I’m not entirely sure what my opinion is yet.� As the pre-show began, the audience roared for
Chris Hardwick, the host of the live countdown. The season eight premiere inspired far more reactions from the audience than the “Intruders� screening, with people laughing and applauding at Peter Capaldi, the new Doctor, and Jenna Coleman, who portrayed his companion, Clara Oswald. Dr. Who follows a timetravelling humanoid as he explores the universe and helps ordinary people and civilizations. Each season the main character is portrayed by a different actor. At the end of the seasons, the doctor is reincarnated and oftentimes has an entirely new personality. Although the character has been played by 12 different actors throughout it’s run, each one is part of the same doctor. “I feel like Peter Capaldi is the Doctor,� Koyfman said. She said she felt he interpreted the role in a very new way. “The new season was amazing,� Broussard said. He said he was pleased with Capaldi and will definitely be re-watching the show with his wife. At final count, Stanze said 347 people were in the house for the two premieres. “The weather, I think, really hurt us,� she said. Of the people who did show up, though, Stanze said she thinks they definitely enjoyed themselves and that if a showing like this were to occur again, she’d love to have it at the BuskirkChumley. “I love that people were wearing their costumes,� she said as crowds of “Whovians� walked past her to the exit, discussing what they were expecting in next week’s episode.
