found him sitting on a bench, next to a huge Sephora bag and a perfect stranger.

“I’m so sorry,” Paul remembered hearing. “I meant to come and surprise you before you got off, but I got caught up talking to this guy.”

As they left the mall, he told her the man had just gone through a divorce, so they had been talking about his life.

“That’s just like him,” Paul said

Smoot died suddenly Oct. 22 in Bloomington.

He was the blue-eyed, bigsmiled free spirit whose constant surprises Paul loved.

He was the younger brother Molly Smoot looked up to. He was the older brother with whom Luke Smoot performed countless silly handshakes.

Messel faces rape charges Messel faces five felony charges for the rape of an IU student in 2012 From IDS reports

Daniel Messel, the man convicted of murdering IU student Hannah Wilson, has now been charged with the 2012 rape of another student.

The IU Police Department filed five felony charges against Messel on Friday after DNA evidence collected from the 2012 crime was found to be consistent with DNA collected from Messel, according to an IUPD release.

Messel, who is serving an 80-year sentence for Wilson’s murder, now faces charges of rape, criminal confinement, criminal deviate conduct, battery and theft.

In 2012, the victim told police she met a man she did not know at a local establishment and was driven against her will to a parking lot near Griffy Lake where the man beat and sexually assaulted her.

The man left her in the parking lot and drove away with some of her belongings. The student walked to a nearby house to ask for help and police collected evidence from the victim and the scene, according to the release.

The woman could not remember specific details about the crime or describe the suspect or his car in 2012, according to the release, but she contacted police in August 2016 to discuss similarities between her case and the Wilson case.

A crowd of wig-wearing people, some with drawn-on beards, filled up the Talkers Tap Room’s southside location Saturday night for a Beer and Canvas event to celebrate the birthday of cultural icon and painting teacher Bob Ross.

Ross, who was known for his soft voice and calm outlook on life, died in 1995.

“We’re working with Guinness on getting a world record established for the amount of people at one event dressed like Bob Ross,” Owner of the Tap Room Skip Daley said.

IU’s Tanner Thompson celebrates his game-winning goal with teammates in Sunday afternoon's 2-1 victory over Michigan State at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

SENIOR DAY SUCCESS A late goal by senior Tanner Thompson against Michigan State on Sunday afternoon clinched the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament

By Josh Eastern jeastern@indiana.edu | @JoshEastern

When IU needed him most, senior Tanner Thompson put the team on his back.

Thompson saved a ball from going over the endline after a flick from teammate Rashad Hyacenth, then Thompson faced up and nutmegged his defender before dribbling into the middle of the box and firing a shot. The ball went in, and the celebration was on in the 86th minute.

With so much on the line against the No. 13 Michigan State Spartans, IU scratched out a 2-1 victory Sunday to capture the twoseed in the Big Ten Tournament.

“I got the ball isolated in the corner, and that’s where I like to be,” Thompson said.

“Once I beat the first guy, I was looking to

come across and get a shot off. I hit it, and it went well. It feels good.”

IU drew first blood against Michigan State by way of sophomore Trevor Swartz’s goal in the 23rd minute. He cleaned up a shot that senior midfielder Phil Fives hit off the post to give IU an early 1-0 lead.

However, the Spartans were quick to respond.

Just nine minutes later Michigan State sophomore Ryan Sierakowski upped his season goal total from eight to nine. IU defender Grant Lillard misplayed a ball and left Sierakowski alone with IU senior goalkeeper Christian Lomeli.

The Spartan didn’t miss his chance.

The goal put IU’s 2016 unbeaten streak at home in jeopardy, but IU’s senior class wasn’t going to let that happen, and

Thompson’s goal ensured the streak would run the course of the regular season.

“This is the first time that I’m aware of that we’ve been undefeated at home since 2003, I believe, which is a remarkable feat,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “For this group of seniors to have this today with their parents here, knowing the schedule that we’ve played, does say a lot about this group.”

The game went through many ebbs and flows. IU came out and controlled the early part of the match until Michigan State’s goal in the 32nd minute. From there until about midway through the second half, it was all Michigan State.

If the result had been a 1-1 draw, the SEE SENIORS, PAGE 5

Pence returns to Indiana for Holcomb rally

By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu | @melanie_metzman

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — Gov. Mike Pence had a feeling as he walked on stage at an Eric Holcomb rally. After traveling all over the country campaigning to be vice president, he was back in the state he grew up in and currently governs.

“It’s great to be home again,” he said.

Pence and other Republican Party candidates appeared at the rally in support of gubernatorial candidate Holcomb. Holcomb currently serves as lieutenant governor under Pence and is running alongside state auditor Suzanne Crouch.

“We need new Republican leadership on every level,” Pence said.

“We’ve got to elect Eric Holcomb as the 51st governor of the state of Indiana.”

Holcomb will be ready for the job on day one, Pence said.

Pence said he knows this because he has known Holcomb for years. Both attended Hanover College. Pence said he knew as soon as he met him that Holcomb was somebody special.

Trey Hollingsworth, Republican candidate for the 9th District of Indiana, said Holcomb and presidential candidate Donald Trump are SEE RALLY, PAGE 5

Professor seeks to end stigma on mental health

Speakers at the second annual TEDxIndianaUniversity on Saturday night explored the relationship between humanity and its environment.

TEDx focuses on being human

By Bryan Brussee bbrussee@umail.iu.edu | @BryanBrussee

Professors, journalists and doctors gathered Saturday evening to discuss the present and future of the human race.

Speakers in the IU Auditorium explored the complex relationship between humanity and its environment at the second annual TEDxIndianaUniversity presentation Saturday evening.

President of the Population Institute Bob Walker began the evening discussing the past, present and future of human demography.

“Population growth is a challenge multiplier,” he said, an image of a Niger village looming behind him.

But in keeping with the spirit of the night’s talks, Walker’s message was one of hope. Though, by some estimates, human population could exceed 27 billion by the end of the century, he said there’s still time to adjust and “live in harmony with nature.”

Simon DeDeo, a pro-

fessor cognitive science at Carnegie Mellon University, followed Walker’s presentation with an discussion on the nature of play.

DeDeo said that play doesn’t end at childhood, but instead ingrains itself into almost every aspect of one’s adult life.

The first speaker of the night to earn hearty laughter from the audience with his boyish goofiness and clear enthusiasm.

TEDx’s tone shifted again when Dr. Anantha Shekhar told the story of a young girl with cancer, Emma, as an anecdote about the power of genomic medicine. After a battle with cancer, she made a full recovery.

“Emma went to Disney World last month,” Shekhar said before a long pause.

“Sorry. I choke up every time I tell this story.”

Using an anecdote about a near-gaffe in a college presentation as a springboard, IU alumnus Adam Fischer focused on the small and large ways in which memory and the perception of

time shapes a person’s life.

Fischer said that by the time someone turns 18, they’ve already perceived half of their life.

Time is relative, but not just in the Einstein sense.

Fischer’s presentation claimed it’s just as fluid on a personal level.

Following a brief intermission, in which two talks from TED presentations past played on a screen suspended over the IU Auditorium stage, the final three speakers of the evening went on.

Leah Savion drew upon her experience as a philosophy and cognitive science professor at IU to discuss the merits of self-deception and how to notice it.

Clad in a blue tutu, she asked the audience to join her in exercising at the end of the talk to give an example and prove her point.

“We are going to do five low-key jumping jacks,” she said. “Then you won’t need to go to the gym for a week.”

Everyone joined in.

Current Foreign Service

Officer for the State Department Alexander Karagiannis stressed the importance of diversity in future diplomatic endeavors in an effort to dispel the notion that US diplomats are exclusively “male, pale and Yale.”

The final speaker of the night, Current TV’s Euna Lee, drew on the works of Nietzsche to bring the event full circle and tell her story of the 140 days she spent in a North Korean prison.

As a child growing up in a South Korea, she said she’d learned to demonize North Korea. Spending time among North Korean soldiers and experiencing their small acts of kindness following her capture at the China border changed her mind though.

“I was out to see humanity over hatred in the enemy’s eyes,” Lee said.

Similar to Savion, by the end of Lee’s presentation, not a single audience member remained seated.

Everyone rose for a standing ovation as TEDx Indiana University concluded.

Students gather for legalization rally

By Bailey Cline baicline@iu.edu | @baicline

Ten minutes past 4:20, Against Prohibition cofounder Brandon Lavy walked onto the stage in Dunn Meadow. The area had been bustling for about an hour, with students and other Bloomington residents floating from booth to booth. Baby boomers and generation-Z kids meandered about.

Protester signs in the crowd featured slogans such as “Weed the People.” Everyone was there for the same general cause — to show their support of legalizing marijuana.

Against Prohibition, an IU group dedicated to ending prohibition in all its forms, was the host of the Monroe County Legalization Rally on Saturday in Dunn Meadow.

“We want to say to our state legislatures that enough is enough,” Against Prohibition member Brandon Perry said. “We want medical, we want recreational marijuana.”

Against Prohibition had been focusing on this rally as its main event for this semester. It invited Higher Fellowship, a group in Indiana dedicated to supporting the community, to speak and share why it supports using the plant.

Co-founder David Phipps talked about the medicinal use and explained how cannabis is a safer option for patients than using drugs with side effects.

“Cannabis needs to be legalized medicinally, of course. It needs to be legalized totally,” Phipps said.

“There are far too many Hoosiers suffering needlessly because of this law.”

Phipps also explained it can be a safer option for students wanting to party as opposed to drinking. People can’t overdose on marijuana, he said.

ANDREW WILLIAMS | IDS

Bloomington residents express their views on drug reform by writing on a giant beach ball provided by Americans for Liberty during the Weed Legislation Rally Saturday afternoon in Dunn Meadow.

People are coming to understand the benefits. A recent poll in Indiana showed that 73 percent of people support at least the medicinal use of marijuana, Lavy said.

However, co-founder Bobbie Jo Young talked about the little spoken support for legalizing marijuana, despite its widespread use.

“What I’m going to ask you guys is when Brandon makes a post on Facebook and he says ‘I need help,’ help him,” Young said. “Don’t stay in your dorm room smoking weed, ’cause every street I’ve walked on, every part I can smell it.”

In Indiana, Phipps said approximately $150 million is spent on just enforcing marijuana laws — that doesn’t include housing offenders in jail.

The third co-founder, Tommy Heiser, did not speak at the event, but he also takes the legalization campaign seriously. As a former college professor, Heiser lost his job due a lack of funding.

When he learned about how much the state spends on maintaining these laws, Heiser became involved in the issue. He said the state could use these funds instead to maintain roads and improve education.

Students also spoke their beliefs on legalization. Some said they believed it impeded American rights.

“Ultimately it just frustrates me that people are inhibited from putting something harmless in their body, especially in a country that values liberty as much as ours does and touts that as their identity,” English major Kris Lindquist said.

Ever since May, the Higher Fellowship has been traveling to different counties throughout the state to gain support for the legalization of all marijuana usage. This rally was the final stop on its 2016 Cannabis Legalization rally tour.

“We’re all fighting for the same thing,” Phipps said.

“Our mission is to try to draw as much public awareness to

this issue as we can.”

Phipps has lost count of how many counties they have visited, but they have visited a different area nearly every Saturday. Next year the group plans to start tours as early as March and stop by more counties.

In the summer, Higher Fellowship plans to have what they call Greenstock in Marion, Indiana. Phipps likened the event to Woodstock, with live music and a lax crowd. He said it’s a time for activists to meet up and relax for a few days while having fun together.

“I’m just really happy to see our legislators and our government finally coming around to the reality of situation,” Phipps said. “They’re finally becoming more comfortable, coming out of that cannabis closet.”

At the end of the rally, the supporters met on stage for a group photo. They held up their protesting signs high, smiled and counted down for the picture — one, two, three, weed.

One in four American adults suffers from mental illness in a given year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

Those who deal with mental health issues can easily feel stigmatized without help.

Bernice Pescosolido, director of the Indiana Consortium for Mental Health Services, guides anti-stigma campaigns to change individuals, institutional structure and culture surrounding mental health at universities.

“Stigma really is just a social signal of difference, and difference translates into differences in power and resources and opportunities,” Pescosolido said.

It leads to prejudice and discrimination toward individuals with these differences, Pescosolido said, such as ideas that people with mental illness are violent, unpredictable and unreliable.

Pescosolido serves on the board of directors and chairs a scientific advisory council of U Bring Change 2 Mind, a national organization founded in 2010 to end stigma.

U Bring Change 2 Mind specifically functions under the organization at the university level.

“Part of U Bring Change 2 Mind is to make the community a safe and stigmafree zone, but it’s also designed to improve and push the University toward better services — more continuous services for students who need it,” Pescosolido said.

Daniel Eisenberg, professor of health management and policy at University of Michigan, found college students with mental illness who have greater personal stigma are less likely to seek medication, therapy or other forms of support than those who aren’t.

Associate professor of sociology Brea Perry described the rise of the Columbine effect, which is the linking of depression with dangerous attitudes in teenagers.

“This idea of dangerousness — to the self and to others — is the number-one driver of stigma,” Perry said.

The research suggests these perceptions aren’t true, Pescosolido said.

“We know very clearly that people with mental illness are less violent than the average American,” Pescosolido said. “They’re less likely to be perpetrators of crime.”

As researchers study mental illness, they hope to uncover the biological and social roots of mental illness and figure out how to fight the stigma — a much needed area of research.

Pescosolido developed a network model about how social ties push and pull people in different directions.

“When someone is experiencing mental illness, the reaction is different among people who are close to that individual and people who are peripheral members of your network,” Perry said.

People who are close show support, while peripheral members distance themselves from the sufferer.

Most Americans believe mental illness has some-

thing to do with genetics and chemicals in the brain, Pescosolido said.

“Yet their prejudicial believes and desire for social distance from people with mental illness has not changed in accordance with that belief that it’s a disease,” Pescosolido said.

The best way to fight stigma isn’t always so clear.

Certain anti-stigma activist groups like the National Alliance on Mental Illness pushed an idea that mental illness is a brain disorder, a biological illness, Perry said.

“They put out these pictures of mental illness with the brain,” Perry said. “There was a lot of research that showed if you can remove responsibility or attribution of blame then you can reduce stigma.”

In some ways, it backfired.

People ended up seeing mental illness as something that can’t be alleviated, Perry said.

“Compared to 1950, if you ask people about mental illness, they’re more likely to spontaneously mention violence,” Pescosolido said.

Stigma of marrying people with mental illness increased because people are afraid of those genetic predispositions, Pescosolido said. She said campaigns like the National Alliance on Mental Illness need to understand how those with mental illnesses are different but still part of society.

“People feel like ‘the other’ for many reasons,” Pescosolido said.

This otherness, such as how people describe international students and racial, ethnic and sexual minorities, can describe mental health status as well.

The NIMH’s statistic that one in four American adults suffers from mental illness in a given year might seem troubling at first, but in fact it requires clarification.

“When you say one in four, it doesn’t mean one in four people are going to be chronically mentally ill,” Pescosolido said. “It means one in four people at some point in their life is going to experience an episode of mental health problems.”

These problems could be anything, such as temporary stress when a family member dies that makes someone function less optimally for a period of time.

Pescosolido said she hopes to make the atmosphere less impersonal by making people more informed about how to deal with mental illness of others. She said some solutions aren’t as simple as going to the Counseling and Psychological Services.

“Sometimes what people want is empathy,” Pescosolido said. “Sometimes what they want is just a sense that you’re not going to exclude them because they have these problems.”

Avenues like wellness centers at universities offer different pathways for people to drop in and deal with whatever issues they have, Pescosolido said.

College is all about expressing your difference and what makes you special, Pescosolido said.

“My philosophy about life is that everybody has something,” Pescosolido said. “There’s no such thing as a perfect human being.”

Infamous Police share shocking photo of Indiana woman after she overdosed with her son in the backseat. The goal was to spread awareness, but did it work?

By Sarah Gardner | gardnese@indiana.edu | @sarahhhhgardner

HOPE, INDIANA — he baby in the backseat was crying.

That was one of the first things officers noticed when they got out of their car Oct. 22 in the Dollar General parking lot. A 911 call had reported a woman who’d overdosed in her car.

The door of the gold Honda Accord hung open. Erika Hurt, 25, was slumped, unconscious, still wearing her seatbelt, still holding the needle.

Her baby wailed.

The officers called the woman’s mother and stepmother, who got the baby out of the car. Paramedics used two doses of naloxone to revive Hurt.

Then the police did one more controversial but increasingly common thing. They looked at the woman and child in the car, took a picture and posted it online.

By Friday, the police department and the family had been attacked by strangers from around the world. The case was the newest face at the center of a national conversation: Does posting these photos deter drug use? Or does it needlessly exploit and shame people at their worst moment?

T

* * * Early in September, two people in East Liverpool, Ohio, overdosed on heroin with a 4-year-old boy in the backseat. In an unusual move, officials posted a photo of the scene on the police department’s Facebook page.

“We feel we need to be a voice for the children caught up in this horrible mess,” the post read. “It is time that the non drug using public sees what we are now dealing with on a daily basis.”

Other photos soon followed.

A woman in Elyria, Ohio, with an 8-month-old child in the car. A woman in Detroit with a 2 year-old and a 4 year-old in the backseat. And on Monday, the trend reached Hope.

Town Marshal Matthew Tallent made the decision to post the photo.

Hope has not been hit as hard by opioid addiction as other places in the state. The town of 2,000 has seen only two overdoses this year. But heroin possession arrests have spiked, and Bartholomew County has seen 22 overdoses and two deaths.

His decision has been praised as public service and vilified as distasteful.

Tallent, who has been marshal for three years and on the police force for 19 years, said he did not want to embarrass Hurt, but felt it was the right moment to get the community thinking about ways to fight addiction.

“The public needs to start seeing what heroin is doing to our youth and to our men and women,” Tallent said.

“If one person sees that picture and

decides not to shoot up or decides to go into recovery, then it’s totally worth it.” * * * Jami Smith is Erika Hurt’s mother and she lives with Hurt and her son.

The overdose, she said, came out of the blue.

That Saturday afternoon, she had just walked in the door when her phone rang. It was the police.

“Do you know Erika?”

“She’s my daughter.”

“Do you know where she is right now?”

“No.” “I’m going to need you to come to the Dollar General.”

Minutes later, Smith was yelling at her unconscious daughter. She begged Erika to wake up.

“You’re going to go to jail,” Smith said to her. “And that’s probably where you need to be.”

She took the baby home while her daughter went to jail. A few days later, her neighbor told her to turn on the news. There on the TV was the image of her daughter she had tried so hard to get out of her head.

“They say it’s a teaching tool, but I say it’s exploiting her,” Smith said. “It’s just trying to bring big news to a small town.”

Messages on social media to Smith and Hurt came pouring in from all over the country — from Arkansas, Texas, New York.

“Too bad you didn’t die.”

“You need to rot in hell.”

“Everyone in that baby’s life has

failed him.”

“You people are nothing but needle junkies yourself.”

For days, nobody in the house could sleep. Smith shut down their Facebook accounts.

Broadcast stations aired the photo and the news of the overdose with little context. No one ever wanted to know who Hurt really was — in the public eye, she was just the junkie mom passed out in the car.

There had been no reason to think Hurt was in danger of overdosing, Smith said. Hurt had been sober for more than two years.

Her drug use spiraled out of control after her father died on Christmas Eve 2013. Smith said her daughter was afraid. Smith did not let her live in the house when she was still regularly using heroin, but she could visit. One day, Hurt sat on the living room floor, stared at the wall and sobbed, saying she didn’t know how to make it end.

“If you don’t stop this,” Smith once told her daughter, “you are going to die.”

Hurt looked at her mother and said, “Then I’d be free from this drug.” * * * In releasing these photos, police say they intend to educate the community about the consequences of addiction.

But does it work?

“If your goal is really to educate and enlighten, then you need more context than just this shocking photo,” said Kelly McBride, a media ethicist at the Poynter Institute. “I don’t see

any extra steps being taken, which makes me seriously question whether people are just looking for clicks and sensationalism.”

A source invested in educating the public should also publish thorough coverage of the opioid crisis, McBride said. They should seek alternatives to publishing a sensational photo — at the very least, blurring or cropping the image to protect the identities of the adults and children in the picture.

“Police departments are overwhelmed and looking for solutions, and they often have the best of intentions when they want the public to understand what heroin can do,” McBride said. “But you have to ask yourself, does that potential benefit outweigh the harm done to these families?”

Matthew Tallent, Hope’s town marshal, said the photo and its aftermath has forced him to think harder about what Hope is doing to combat heroin.

He wants to help churches start Narcotics Anonymous chapters.

He wants to help addicts find affordable treatment.

Meanwhile, Smith has barely left her house for fear of being recognized as Hurt’s mother.

Holding her grandson Friday afternoon, she said she agrees something needs to be done in Hope and throughout the state to help people fight heroin. But it should start with love and support, she said, not hatred and shame.

Back in September, she had shared the image from the East Liverpool overdose on her own Facebook page, with the caption, “This truly breaks my heart.” She had shared it to get Hurt to see it, to warn her from ever returning to drug use.

Seven weeks later, it was her own daughter in a photo on Facebook.

“The image never goes away,” Smith said. “When I think of my own daughter now, I don’t even see her face. I can only picture her in the front seat of that car, looking like she’s dead.” * * * Hurt is in jail, waiting to find out whether she will be placed in intensive drug treatment. She faces charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and child neglect.

For now, Smith stays home with her grandson. She currently has custody.

She said she feels the need to teach people that addiction is a disease and it can be fixed. But she said she knows the stigma against drug users and the lack of treatment options will be difficult to work around.

“I want to do something,” Smith said, “but I don’t know where to begin.”

She paused, then corrected herself.

“Yes, I do know where to begin,” she said. “I’ll begin with my daughter. I will stand by her and love her and get her the help she needs. And when I figure that out, I can help others, too.”

THE SOUL PURPOSE

EDITORIAL BOARD

More than a writer

Differing opinions

KAITLYNN MILVERT is a sophomore in English and Spanish

MADDY KLEIN is a sophomore in English.

A new Oxford University Press edition of Shakespeare’s works plans to list Christopher Marlowe as a co-author of the three Henry VI plays, officially crediting him with partial authorship after a history of contested attribution.

In other words, Shakespeare plays might no longer be known as Shakespearean plays. Instead, we might get a clunky title like “Shakespeare and Marlowe’s Complete Works.”

The controversy over authorship of Shakespeare’s works has been centuries long, exploring his contemporaries’ access to knowledge, stylistic elements and related evidence in an effort to uncover the true identity of the iconic Anglophone playwright and poet.

Putative authors have ranged from Sir Francis Bacon to Mary Herbert to Marlowe. The Wikipedia “List of Shakespeare Authorship Candidates” includes 86 possible authors. But, until this point, Shakespeare’s name has remained on the cover of his works and on the front of playbills.

In society at large, Shakespeare is not so much a writer as a cultural icon.

He is a representative of the Anglophone writing tradition, the art of performance and the traditional English curriculum.

Even if evidence indicates that he did not write the complete body of works, Shakespeare’s name bears significance beyond that of a writer who died 400 years ago. Urban Dictionary is an example. Ignoring all the definitions that would be unfit to print here, submitted meanings tend to reference the rite of passage of slogging through Shakespeare in high school.

Other definitions allude to Shakespeare’s penchant for inventing new words, including the verb form of “shakespeare,” which means “to invent, or put a new word into practice.”

If Urban Dictionary is not sufficient, the Oxford English Dictionary defines Shakespeare as “a person ... comparable to Shakespeare, esp. as being preeminent in a particular sphere.”

The point is, Shakespeare has entered our lexicons, and the resultant term has less to do with who actually wrote the plays than his cultural role.

In high school we discussed Shakespeare authorship. After seeing compelling arguments for alternative writers, the class took a vote on whether Shakespeare was actually the author. Overwhelmingly, Shakespeare won the vote, not because of the evidence presented, but because the class didn’t see the point in altering the l tradition.

Of course, within historical and literary studies, there is more at stake in these questions of authorship. Understanding Marlowe’s probable contributions to Shakespeare’s work could influence our comprehension of Marlowe and related cultural productions. Advances in digital humanities now enable a stylistic matching game between writers, as we can digitally mine texts for similarities between writers’ lexical and syntactic constructions.

While this kind of textual analysis is fascinating, it’s also important to acknowledge that an author’s work progresses beyond its original conditions of production and takes on a cultural life of its own. As such, the next step will be to see whether the shifting attribution of Shakespeare’s works influences their constantly evolving cultural role.

After all, what’s in a name, anyway? kmilvert@indiana.edu

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Let’s talk about sex, baby Gingrich-Kelly exchange on Fox News spells trouble for GOP’s strategy On Oct. 25, conservative firebrand and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was a guest on Fox News’ “The Kelly File” last week to discuss the Donald Trump campaign.

Considering Fox News’ status as the most prominent conservative voice in media, some may be surprised to see Gingrich engage in a pouty, accusatory tirade against Megyn Kelly, the show’s host and a rising star in journalism.

During the exchange, Kelly, who became a household name after her aggressive questioning of Trump during an August 2015 Republican primary debate, referenced Trump’s comments condoning sexual assault. As a hardline Trump ally, Gingrich instantly grew perturbed. He pointed to a lack of coverage on Bill Clinton’s sexual indiscretions and Hillary Clinton’s paid speeches to a bank in Brazil as proof that Kelly and her collegues are “fascinated by sex” and uninterested with providing substantive content.

This awkward exchange is strange on many levels.

First, it highlights the changing landscape of the two-party system. As stated, Fox News and Gingrich are conservative icons, and the clash between the two accentuates the fractures in the fabric of the Republican party.

To an extent, the two parties represent two starkly distinct types of conservatives.

Gingrich, as a Trump supporter, represents the old guard, while Kelly, who is known by many for her lack of alignment with the GOP nominee, represents younger, more moderate individuals that are turned off by the likes of Bill O’Reilly and other traditional conservative talking heads.

The exchange further proves Gingrich — and the faction of the party he represents — is out of touch. Members of both parties tend to agree with Kelly that stories like Trump’s “Access Hollywood” tape and accusations of sexual assault are absolutely worthy of coverage.

To Gingrich’s point, Trump is not a convicted sexual predator, and maybe the media ought not to treat him as if he is. Putting the scores of accusers who have corroborated each other’s stories and audio recordings in which Trump literally incriminates himself aside, Gingrich believes the focus should be on decadesold episodes involving not the Democratic nominee herself, but her husband, who is vying for the unofficial title of First Gentleman. Which is, of course, totally reasonable.

In all seriousness, the speeches referred to by Gingrich are worthy of more scrutinous coverage, but the absurdity of the rest of his narrative destroys any credibility he had to develop a reasonable argument.

This behavior shouldn’t surprise anyone. In August, Gingrich countered factual evidence that violent crime was at its lowest point in years by saying, “That’s your view.”

The former House Speaker certainly cares little for objec-

tive journalism.

On the other hand, many have posited about what episodes like these could signify for the future of Fox News.

Following the exchange, some accused Kelly, whose contract with the network is set to expire next summer, of taking advantage of the forum to “audition” for more prominent roles with a major network like ABC News.

If Fox News is to extend its reach beyond its core following, comprised largely of older white Americans, it would be smart to try to retain Kelly. To appeal to younger voters, who tend to be more middle-ofthe-road or liberal, Fox needs more Megyn Kellys and fewer Bill O’Reillys.

Regardless of how one feels about the individuals involved, the exchange was an embarrassing display of Gingrich and Co.’s blind adherence to a losing agenda that has the GOP in jeopardy of losing the presidency and both houses of Congress on Nov. 8.

LUKE LOCKS IN

Police brutality pervasive in DAPL protests The forces of capital and state power carried out a huge terrorist operation on Thursday against the nonviolent protesters defending the lands of the Standing Rock Dakota Sioux Tribe.

For months, Native Americans and their allies have been preventing the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline on native lands. The pipeline, an environmental and social disgrace, will not only destroy the land’s water supply and sustainability, but will also ensure a deepening of the worldwide climate crisis that threatens us all.

Those in power, specifically the police force and Hillary Clinton, are well aware of the situation – and they actively choose to turn a blind eye. I urge you to see the menace behind the actions of these power-players that are opposing centuries of the largest genocide in human history.

When the small army of militarized police-thugs were sent in on Thursday to forcibly remove the protesters, they employed massive sound cannons, rubber bullets, mace

and bean bags against women, children and the elderly.

More than 140 protesters were arrested and are being held without bail.

If you believe this despicable country has any good left in it, then I urge you to support these protesters through money, supplies, political pressure and/or traveling to North Dakota yourself. Might I remind you that our “great” country simultaneously has a team in the World Series with a red-faced mascot, while our “heroic” police terrorize Native American children for defending their water supply from an oil company.

So what is our first problem here? Easy. The police are not who we think they are.

They are not the valiant crime fighters that television and movies have indoctrinated us into believing.

The police, as an institution, is an extension of the monopoly on force the state possesses — it is a form of legalized aggression.

Furthermore, the state uses this power to protect the interests of itself, business and

capital accumulation. This is why is the police are openly and legally attacking the protestors at Standing Rock. Another sole function of American police departments is to terrorize minority communities. This is why the police expel homeless people when the Super Bowl comes to a city.

This is why the police shoot mentally ill people for no good reason. This is why the police assist the profits of private prison companies by arresting millions of black, Latinx and native citizens.

I don’t care how good of a person your Uncle Steve the Cop is at Thanksgiving; when he puts on that uniform, he is assuming the role of an agent of a white supremacist, totalitarian, capitalist state. For these reasons, the institution of the police as we know it, with perhaps the sole exception of detectives that hunt down murderers and rapists, should be abolished in this country.

The police simply do not serve the interests of the vast majority of the population.

Briefly, I must also criticize

LUCAS ROBINSON is a junior in English.

Clinton’s disgusting response to the Standing Rock crisis.

Her campaign said in a statement, “From the beginning of this campaign, Secretary Clinton has been clear that she thinks all voices should be heard and all views considered in federal infrastructure projects.

Now, all of the parties involved ... need to find a path forward that serves the broadest public interest.”

With these words, Clinton affirms that she is 100 percent human slime. This response is nothing more than euphemistically saying the following to Native Americans: “Sign the treaty.”

We must not only financially and politically support the Standing Rock Tribe, but also oppose Clinton’s malice towards them as well by denying her our votes. luwrobin@umail.iu.edu

Indiana Daily Student, Est. 1867 idsnews.com The opinions expressed by the editorial board do not necessarily represent the opinions of the IDS news staff, student body, faculty or staff members or the Board of Trustees. The editorial board comprises columnists contributing to the Opinion page and the Opinion editors.

When you disagree with someone, do you completely dismiss them, or do you decide that their opinion, though different from your own, could also be valid?

That probably depends on the issue at hand, the opinion they express and the justification they provide for that opinion.

But what if the issue is something important, like the candidate they voted for or their views on issues of social justice? And what if their opinion seems absurd or even reprehensible to you? And, worst of all, what if their justification seems completely irredeemable?

It’s tempting to buy into the popular strategy of foregoing all discussions of money, politics and religion with the people we care about. When we head home for Thanksgiving in a few weeks, many of us will vow to avoid such conversations at all costs, especially with family members whose views clash with our own.

Part of this strategy makes sense. We don’t get to choose our families, and it’s easy to feel like politically charged conversations would create conflict far more often than they would foster understanding.

We do, however, get to choose our friends. And, if with no one else, it is important that we learn to talk to them not just about our own lives but also about the world around us.

With the presidential election coming up in just eight days, many of us are probably feeling exhausted from the past several months of partisan rivalry and are more reluctant than ever to talk politics unless we feel sure our audience is on our side.

It’s not all that likely, though, that even those we assume to be on our side will actually be in complete agreement with all our views. Finding points of contention, if done respectfully, can help make everyone involved a more informed and empathetic citizen.

And, because most of us will naturally turn to news sources that tend to show us the world as we like to see it, conversations with friends who challenge us to consider other perspectives are vital starting points for expanding our perceptions and questioning whatever biases we might harbor.

This is especially true when you consider that we are much more likely to give serious thought to ideas that come from sources we trust. It’s easy to ignore the hosts of talk shows whose opinions differ from ours because we have no personal interactions with them and feel distanced enough to dismiss them if we choose.

But when a friend whose input we value expresses an opinion we might otherwise reject, there is a stronger sense of obligation to examine the disparities between their stance and ours. Even if you come out of a conversation with the same opinion you started it with, close inspections of what you believe and why ensure that you are not becoming ignorant or complacent.

Of course the key in these conversations is keeping an open mind.

This election cycle has been polarizing, and many of us have been left wondering how those who stand in opposition to us could possibly think what they think. But, as I have said before, you need not excuse or condone a person’s beliefs in order to understand where they came from. Ultimately, you just need to have the conversation. mareklei@umail.iu.edu @foreverfloral97

With the win against Michigan State, IU has a record of 3-1-2 against ranked opponents this season.

When people needed to catch up on painting, he would pause the video and on occasion ask people if they needed a refill on their beers, provided by Quaff ON! Brewery.

Like many of the attendees, Stockbridge donned a permed wig and blue button-down shirt in typical Ross fashion.

In attendance was Cindy Dabney, who plays trivia at Talker’s Tap Room on Thursdays.

She said Daley told her about the event but she did

not know who Ross was until she committed to the outfit and decided to watch one of his videos.

“I’ve never been to anything quite like it,” Dabney said. “I’ve certainly done a wine and canvas before, but doing the Ross theme — and the ridiculously good price — it was worth it.”

As customers entered the bar, the group of painters would greet them with “Hey, Bob,” even when the patrons were not there for the beer tasting and painting.

At the end of the tutorial, the 20 or so that came to paint mountainous regions with green happy

trees, a Ross term, assembled in the front of the tap room for a photo with their paintings. Daley said they will use the photo as part of the establishing documents for the record of most Ross impersonators.

Judging by the success of this event, Daley said he might have more frequent Beer and Canvas events at both the southside and westside locations of Talkers Tap Room.

He said, in the future, they want to turn the event to a full-day celebration of Ross, which would include expanding into the parking lot.

“He has a cult following for a reason,” Daley said.

Hollingsworth said Holcomb is determined to return Indiana and the United States to its former glory by going back to the nation’s roots and the principles established by the founding fathers.

Under Holcomb’s $1 billion economic plan, the state will invest in start-ups, highgrowth companies, co-working spaces, and university and high school entrepreneurial partnerships.

The proposed plan will also attempt to work to incentivize investment into Indiana businesses from out-of-state investors by making the venture capital investment tax credit transferable.

With a Section Section 8 voucher, confusing rrules ru les and procedures for moving and only a few months to find a rental, the search was becoming more difficult each day.

Trying to stay positive, Adams rolled down the windows and turned on “Lovers & Friends” by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz.

“Get ready for the concert!” Adams said as she began to sing.

Laughing, Rolan sang along. “We gotta laugh to keep from crying.” * * * In May, Adams gott the knock on the door. The East Chicago Housing Authority was passing out forms, telling everyone to get their children tested for lead.

Just a precaution, they said. Nothing was wrong.

A week later, Adams and the other residents found out the extent of the lead contamination in their neighborhood. Built in the early 1970s, the complex had been constructed on the grounds of an old lead smelter site.

Lead and arsenic had seeped into the soil where about 680 children played, inside the houses where Adams and Rolan and their families had lived for nearly eight years an aand d into the blood of many children and adults.

Students hunt for magic at IU Harry Potter club creates campus-wide Horcrux scavenger hunt

By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjo

Students in Harry Potterthemed clothing and clutching magic wands assembled in the basement of Woodburn Hall on Sunday evening for a Horcrux scavenger hunt.

The event was organized by the Harry Potter Society of IU, a group meant to appreciate and further the culture of the Harry Potter universe.

“You don’t need to be a huge fan of Harry Potter to be in the club,” IU junior and club member Cynthia Moreno said. “The people are really nice.”

Moreno joined the club last year but said she hasn’t read the popular book series

by J.K. Rowling as extensively as other members. Her favorite part of being in the organization is how friendly and laid back the members are, she said.

The scavenger hunt followed a set of rules that awarded groups points for finding each horcrux, a magical object from the series, and posing in a photo with it.

The antagonist of the series, Lord Voldemort, hid pieces of his soul in the original objects featured in the story.

Teams were separated by the house every member is associated with. Hogwarts,

the school in Harry Potter, has four houses that students are divided into based on personality: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

The organization’s vice president, Taylor Boswell,

said people can take a quiz to find out what house they are online, or they can just choose which house they want to be a part of. A popular site for the book’s universe is Pottermore, where a quiz shows what percentage

of each house a person belongs to.

“That’s really nice if you’re on the edge because you can choose or you can just pick the one you identify with and go with it,” Boswell said.

The clues to finding the items were relayed through text message to a member of each team. Once each group found the item they were looking for, they sent the photo of their team to the organizers, who then sent the next clue.

The objects were hidden in places like a bathroom in Woodburn Hall, the Ernie Pyle statue in front of Franklin Hall, and the staircase of Ballantine Hall. The organizers tried to replicate the original objects, which include a diary, a ring and a crown.

Boswell said the group has no dues and finances itself mainly through the Yule Ball, an event it throws every December on campus. Boswell said she joined the club due to her interest in the book series but has stayed the past three years because of how much she likes the people.

“It’s cool because you read it when you were younger, then you come here, and you’re basically an adult, and people are still into it,” she said.

Theater project educates on cultures

By Renata Gomes regomes@indiana.edu

The Grupo de Teatro VIDA is a Bloomington-based theater project that puts together Spanish and Portuguese plays every fall semester. This weekend VIDA performed the plays that were developed this year at the Bloomington Playwrights Project.

The presentation consisted of four plays, one in Portuguese and three in Spanish.

The letters in the group’s name stand for vision, identity drama and art, and according to its website, the project’s main goal is to produce plays that promote cultural understanding and the richness of Hispanic and Lusophone cultures through live theater. The group allows students to practice the languages, to be immersed in the culture through theater and to engage with native speakers during the process.

The theme for this year’s plays was acontecimientos extraños, or weird happenings.

Alysa Schroff, VIDA president and doctoral student at IU, said the theme-choosing moment comes after the plays are chosen.

“It turns out it’s more fun that way, when the directors choose what they want to direct,” she said. “For that reason, I can’t always favor the theme over the plays. I guess

(From left to right) Daphne Castro-Lingl (chicken), Joe Ermey (dog), Nina Morais (donkey), Luna DeCastro (cat) and Stephen Gervase (donkey) are the cast of the Brazilian play "Os Saltimbancos," developed by "Grupo de Teatro VIDA".

I just noticed that each play has something a bit strange about it.”

This year’s only Portuguese-language production, “Os Saltimbancos,” is a musical and was written originally by the Brazilian artist Chico Buarque. Inspired by the Brothers Grimm story “Town Musicians of Bremen,” the adaptation depicts four farm animals — a chicken, a donkey, a cat and a dog — that are tired of being abused by their owners and decide to go to the city to become musicians.

This weekend marked the second time that IU junior Stephen Gervase, who plays the donkey, worked in a production for VIDA.

“I worked with Grupo VIDA for the first time last year, which was my first experience acting and working on a play production,” Gervase said. “I’ve grown by learning to work well with a team and developing problem solving skills.”

The other plays performed were “La Distancia,” which tells of a couple in a broken marriage; “Los degolladores de Estatuas,” a tale of dolls that revolt against their owners; and “Se Vende una Mula,” which is about a communication failure between a man that is trying to sell a mule and gets his daughter engaged.

While many of the project’s members are IU stu-

dents and faculty, it is not closed to other contributors.

Joe Ermey, a sophomore at Bloomington High School South, has also participated twice in VIDA’s performances. He said it is much more difficult to sing in Portuguese than to speak it but the hard work is really worth it.

“I met new Portuguese speakers and have a new avenue through which I can speak Portuguese,” he said.

Schroff said the project helps students develop their communication skills in the language. Practicing pronunciation and enunciation helps the students work on their vocabulary and grammar.

“I think that through the process of memorizing lines, we begin to internalize grammar structures and learn vocabulary — words that you might not have learned from your textbook or even from the experiences you might have speaking Spanish outside of the classroom,” she said.

The participants all agreed that the group creates a rare opportunity to practice the languages while interacting with the cultures.

“My advice for those would like to join the Portuguese productions is to be flexible,” Ermey said. “If there’s one thing Brazilians aren’t, it’s formal.”

Families around Bloomington had the opportunity to enjoy crafts and monstrous games with their children Sunday to celebrate Halloween a day early.

Halloween Family Fun Fest: Monsters, a free event open to the public, rang in the Halloween season with families and community members gathering at the Mathers Museum of World Cultures on Sunday afternoon.

The fest included pin the eye on the monster, monster bowling, bean bags through a makeshift haunted house and crafts for the families to make throughout the event. Kids ran around the museum, alternating between trying to pin the eye on the monster and use pipe cleaners to make bats.

Jean Graves, IU professor and volunteer for the fun fest, said there are activities and crafts for all ages with something for everyone.

“Today we’re here celebrating Halloween,” Graves said. “We’re hoping lots of families will turn out and enjoy the museum today.”

Head of Programs and Education Sarah Hatcher said the event has been

around for almost 15 years.

She said more than 200 people attended the family fun fest last year.

“It’s a long-standing tradition,” Hatcher said. “We try and provide a variety of crafts that are appropriate for a wide range of ages and then we also have games.”

She said the museum has added two new activities this year, a scavenger hunt for the families to search for items around the museum and a mad scientist demonstration performed by the IU chemistry department.

“In many ways it would be easier if Halloween was on the weekend, but we can’t control the calendar,” Hatcher said. “So this is a nice way of gliding into the holiday.”

The museum puts on multiple events for children each year, including a winter fest in December with different themes every year, she said.

She said outside of herself and her graduate assistant, the event is volunteerbased with members in the community.

Graves said she volunteers every few events throughout the year.

“It’s a really nice way to relax,” Graves said.

To Adams, the government, a system that asks for trust every day, let them down.

“They lied to us from the beginning,” Adams said. “On purpose.”

» LEAD

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6

* * *

Seeing the children affected by lead angered Adams the most. She worked in childcare for more than 20 years and as a special education instructor in the School City of East Chicago for three years. She said these kids were already labeled or belittled because of where they came from, something out of their control.

Like most moms’ cars, her 2016 white Toyota Camry was ready for anything. It was complete with a car seat, a LeapFrog workbook, lotion and snacks. It was September, but the coffee cup sitting in the cup holder said “Merry Christmas!” Her kids had lost her other ones.

Adams wanted a something better for her children. A life where their names weren’t associated with poverty or lead contamination. A life where they didn’t settle — like Adams had when she moved into the complex eight years ago. A life where they felt comfortable and safe.

That all would start with finding the perfect house.

She had little information from the EPA, the housing authority or city officials. So, driving toward the first house on the list, Adams still had the same thoughts, questions and worries she’d had months ago.

Thinking out loud, she asked herself, “What’s next?”

Horoscope Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 9 — Realize a personal dream over the next two weeks, with the New Moon in your sign.

You can make it happen. Hone to what’s most authentic. Keep the faith.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6 — Past, future and present mingle in your thoughts. This New Moon provides fertile ground for imagination and spiritual discovery. Enjoy meditation and ritual. Contempla-

Adams’s house — the one nearest the front gate of the complex — never felt like a home. It was one of the first rentals she could find, and she never planned to stay more than a year. She hung nothing on the walls.

She was always ready to move.

The next house she lived in, she needed to love.

“I don’t want to live like that again,” she said.

She needed a five-bedroom house and would move anywhere except for Gary. After looking at crime rates and school systems, Gary seemed like her last option. And yet, on hour two of her house search, Adams found herself crossing the border into Gary.

Adams turned onto a street with a house Rolan wanted to see. Boarded-up houses sat on both sides. Rolan began counting them: “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.”

“Here it is,” Adams said, slowing down. The window blinds were broken and the siding on the house looked cracked.

“Across from the seventh abandoned house? No, thank you.”

The East Chicago Housing Authority had received $1.9 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help families move. Each family received

a Section 8 voucher based on income to cover rent. The housing authority also reimbursed them for relocation costs.

Their vouchers could be used anywhere in the country, but when residents tried to find a house in a city other than East Chicago, they had to “port over” — a process that could take weeks. Once they ported over, they ran the risk of not finding a house in that city. Then they’d be stuck and have to start the process again.

Many landlords didn’t accept Section 8 vouchers, and many believed a stereotype surrounding government housing that Adams and Rolan said they’d felt time and time again.

“Hi, do you accept Section 8?”

“No.” Click.

They felt grouped as uneducated, poor, low-class. The vouchers helped them move, but the stigma behind them hurt.

As Adams and Rolan stared down the street in Gary, they looked at the boarded-up houses and overgrown weeds. Defeated, Adams sped away.

“Maybe I’m just being picky,” she said. * * * Hundreds of residents crowded their community center at an Aug. 3 public hearing wanting answers.

When did they need to be gone?

How would they move? Would they be getting vouchers or relocation reimbursements?

Between 1970 and 1973, the West Calumet Housing Complex had been built on the site of the Anaconda Lead Products facility. Lead dust also blew onto the site from the U.S. Smelter and Lead Refinery that sat just to the south.

USS Lead ceased operations in 1985. Soil samples done by the EPA at that time showed lead levels at 100 parts per million. In 1997, soil samples at the complex came back at up to 140 ppm. The EPA doesn’t begin

cleanup until 400 ppm. A memo with the 1997 soil called for “no further assessment.”

When Adams moved into her house in 2008, she knew none of this.

During the years since USS Lead closed, mayors, representatives and government officials on nearly every level expressed concerns to EPA administrators about the health risks of living on this soil. In 2009, the property was named an EPA Superfund site.

Although the EPA tested the soil in the complex for years, city officials said that they didn’t see any results until May. Adams and other residents were not convinced.

To Adams, the government, a system that asks for trust every day, let them down.

“They lied to us from the beginning,” Adams said. “On purpose.” * * * Adams drove 20 minutes south to Merrillville, a town filled with car dealerships, subdivisions and the area’s biggest shopping mall. Almost half the population was white, and the median household income was nearly double that in East Chicago.

Adams saw a subdivision and decided to drive through it, even though it wasn’t on her or Rolan’s list.

The neighborhood was filled with vinyl-sided houses, each looking the same as the next. The houses had two stories and yards lined with perfectly-cut grass.

This was what Adams wanted — a house big enough for all five children and a yard where they could play. But with her voucher of $1,229, she knew she could never afford it.

Her ideal house would have two levels and a basement. It would be in a town with a good school system for her two youngest children. It would have a two-car garage and a large window in the living room for the sun to shine through.

Adams sighed and reached for her bag of Life Savers Gummies. “I can dream, can’t I?”

Crossword

* * * An hour passed, and Adams headed toward Hammond, crossing over railroad tracks and passing a movie theater, a few parks, a dance studio and a gun range. There were only certain places in Hammond she would consider. Like East Chicago, Hammond had many industrial areas, and Adams wanted to get away from that.

Adams turned onto a street to look at the final house of the day. As she pulled up, she wasn’t discouraged right away.

The neighborhood was nice, and the house looked big — big enough for all five of them. The surrounding houses were colorful, a first of all the neighborhoods they had seen that day.

This one-story house on the corner was butter-yellow. It had a garage and trees in the front yard, which was large enough for her children to play.

She smiled and nodded, feeling like she was finally getting somewhere.

Moving was a headache, and the urgency of it was frustrating. But maybe it was all for the best.

Despite how much she loved the house, Adams couldn’t let herself get too excited. She need to port into Hammond, so she could apply her voucher, which could take weeks.

During this process, another family with a voucher already in Hammond could take the house.

Despite the long weeks ahead, Adams was hopeful for the first time all day. She switched the car into drive and turned up the radio. “My Girl” by The Temptations was playing. She looked at Rolan and got ready to sing.

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day.

When it’s cold outside, I’ve got the month of May. The hassle of moving hurt now.

When it was over, though, she was sure it would be better than it was before.

Defense does enough to hold off Maryland

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman

With eight minutes left in the game, the Maryland Terrapins had the ball at their own 26-yard line. IU led 2925 after junior kicker Griffin Oakes missed a 38-yard field goal.

Maryland had the momentum, and it needed a score.

Maryland’s senior quarterback Perry Hills dropped back to pass on third down, but before he could finish his drop, junior linebacker Marcus Oliver met him in the pocket and forced the ball free.

It trickled to the six-yard line before freshman defensive back Marcelino Ball recovered and secured it.

“We had the passion when we got on the field that they weren’t going to get anything,” Ball said.

The Hoosiers had the ball in prime position to make their lead a two-score deficit for the Terrapins.

That’s when they handed the ball to freshman running back Tyler Natee, who recorded 111 yards rushing on the night, to pound the ball into the endzone.

The Natee touchdown made the difference in the fourth quarter that allowed IU to hold the lead against Maryland and finish the game, 4236, pulling its record to 4-4 on the season.

“Those were really good plays,” Ball said about his recovered fumble and firstquarter interception. “But I still didn’t have my best night.”

That was Ball’s story and the story for the defense as a whole Saturday.

It allowed 36 points, 517 total yards, 5.4 yards per rush, three fourth-down conversions and five touchdowns.

Hills had a handful of wide receivers open for potential touchdowns but bad throws prevented the scores.

Maryland’s freshman running back Ty Johnson broke multiple tackles along the sideline on a 66-yard rush for

a touchdown and finished the day with 142 yards rushing.

“In college football, you can play really good defense and give up 30, 35 points,” Wilson said. “I thought we could play better, but we played good D tonight.”

The offense needed to back up the defense, Wilson said, but after the offense hadn’t rushed for more than 100 yards in three straight weeks, the 650 total yards the Hoosiers racked up Saturday came as a surprise.

But so did the takeaways.

IU hadn’t won a turnover margin since it defeated Ball State in the second game of the season, but the Hoosiers forced two against the Terrapins and didn’t turn the ball over at all.

And the takeaways the defense recorded were capitalized by the two touchdowns the offense scored on them.

“Every takeaway is critical,” junior linebacker Tegray Scales said. “It’s all about momentum, so when the offense scores, we want to get the ball

back so they can do it again.”

That’s what the Hoosiers did. As the offense scored four touchdowns in its last five drives, the defense forced two punts, a field goal and recovered a fumble to begin those drives.

Even though it surrendered more than 500 yards of total offense, the IU defense made the plays that decided

the game.

Like when freshman cornerback A’Shon Riggins squared up against the 300-pound Maryland offensive lineman Michael Dunn on a 2-point conversion that could have pulled the Terrapins within three points late in the game.

The 180-pound freshman brought the lineman down by

himself in open field.

Giving up 36 points wasn’t the goal, Scales said, but it was those “scratch and claw” plays that helped keep the Hoosiers out in front and get its first victory since defeating Michigan State on Oct. 1.

“He did take on that 300-pounder like a champ,” Scales said about Riggins.

“I’m proud of him.”

IU earns first win against ranked opponent this season

By Spencer Davis spjdavis@indiana.edu @spencer_davis16

IU Coach Sherry DunbarKruzan’s prophecy turned out to be correct.

She said her team would have to play well Friday night and build upon that performance going into Saturday’s match in order to be successful. That happened, and the Hoosiers earned their first win against a ranked opponent this season.

Although IU was unable to pull out the victory Friday against the No. 15 Michigan State Spartans, 19-5, 8-4, the

Hoosiers turned it around the day after to knock off No. 13 Michigan in four sets.

The match Friday was much closer than the scoreboard showed during the Spartans’ 25-23, 25-16, 25-22 sweep.

“I thought we played well against Michigan State, especially in the first and third sets,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “They are a much more physical team than us, but we out-blocked them, and we served super aggressively against them. Finally we started to take some risky and aggressive swings.”

Senior setter Megan Tall-

man made her much-anticipated return from her broken finger and instantly provided a jolt off the bench by tallying a service ace as soon as she entered the match.

The co-captain would enter IU’s record books a few plays later when as she recorded her 3,501st career assist to become IU’s all-time assist leader. With that assist, Tallman surpassed Laurie Gardner from 1999-2001.

“You watch her play, and she brings so much leadership and passion, and she’s just good,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “She really runs the offense well. She serves ag-

gressively, so it gives us another server to get teams out of system.”

It was senior middle blocker Jazzmine McDonald, however, who stood out in IU’s four-set upset, 25-14, 21-25, 25-16, 25-23, against Michigan. IU moved to 10-5, 4-8, and Michigan drops to 18-6, 7-5.

McDonald, along with the rest of her teammates, played with a noticeable fury and increased integrity en route to achieving her first double-double in her entire volleyball career. Her stacked stat sheet included a career-high 15 kills on just 20

attempts and a .700 hitting percentage for the match with 10 blocks.

McDonald said the Hoosiers needed this win to accomplish their goal of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament.

“We all came out on fire, and every Big Ten team is good right now, so beating the No. 13 team in the country is inspiring, and it was fun to go out and just fight,” McDonald said. “We usually sneak the win against Michigan at home, so we had a little bit of an extra edge to go out and fight them.”

Perhaps the most shock-

ing aspect of IU’s Saturdaynight victory is its block totals. Dunbar-Kruzan focused on the team’s blocking scheme in practice this week as the Hoosiers entered the match ranking dead last in the Big Ten in blocks with an average of only 1.74 per set.

The preparation clearly led to positive results, and IU broke out for 21 team blocks in the win.

“What this match does is give us confidence,” DunbarKruzan said. “We know we are a good team, but when you earn a win against a top15 team, it will give you confidence moving forward.”
