The Civil Rights Act was passed 50 years ago this month, but IU football legend George Taliaferro doesn’t think racial equality in America has been achieved. BY EVAN HOOPFER ehoopfer@indiana.edu
George Taliaferro remembers the first night he came to IU. He called his father and cried afterward. Taliaferro, now 87 years old, came to Bloomington in 1945 to get an education and play football. But the 18-year-old African American was shocked by how segregated IU was at the time. He figured a community based around learning and knowledge wouldn’t do something so traditional as to segregate. But Bloomington was segregated. Taliaferro couldn’t live in the dorms. He couldn’t go to certain shows at the movie theater. He couldn’t go swimming at the pool. So on that first night he called his father and told him he didn’t want to come to IU. He wanted to come back to Gary, Ind., and live in his community of integration. His neighborhood wasn’t integrated between whites and blacks, but between blacks and Europeans from Germany, Italy, Yugoslavia and other countries. “I thought my father would say to me, ‘Son, I agree with you. If they don’t want to treat you like every other human being, you shouldn’t go to school there,’” Taliaferro said, now sitting in his kitchen. He lives on the south side of Bloomington and has lived 42 years
in the city that gave him such a bad first impression. But on that phone call on his first night, he didn’t receive compassion from his father. George still remembers the conversation. “Son, can I ask you one question?” George’s father said. “Yes sir,” George responded. “Is there another reason you are at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana?” George’s father said. George’s father hung up. “I lay there with tears coming out of my eyes,” George said, recounting the memory. *** It wasn’t until later that night, unable to shake the feeling of why his father hadn’t understood him, that George realized what his father meant. “I am here to be educated,” George realized. To George’s father, receiving an education didn’t mean you got along with everybody. It didn’t mean you just went to class, studied the books and took a test. An education for the Taliaferro family meant learning about the real world, what real people think and how they act. Especially how the real world acted toward black people. A person shouldn’t stay in their comfort zone their whole life, George said. During his time at IU, Taliaferro
was a three-time All-American and helped IU to its first and only undefeated Big Ten season. Now, his picture hangs from the rafters outside of Memorial Stadium with other IU football legends. Taliaferro was certainly not comfortable when he first arrived at IU, even though he went on to achieve greatness. Taliaferro, who wasn’t allowed to stay in the same dorms as his white peers, left IU as one of the most important figures in not only IU athletics history, but also in civil rights history. He became the first African American to be drafted into the National Football League, selected in the 13th round by the Chicago Bears. While black players had been playing in the NFL before Taliaferro, none had been drafted into the NFL. Taliaferro opted not to play in the NFL immediately, instead deciding to play for the Los Angeles Dons of the All-American Football Conference first out of college. After just a season with the Dons, Taliaferro went on to play in the NFL for six years, making three pro bowls in his career. Taliaferro played for the New York Yanks, Dallas Texans, Baltimore Colts and Philadelphia Eagles. But still, when he first came to IU, he was shocked by how he was treated as a second-class citizen. Earlier this month, America cel-

ebrated the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The historic act outlawed discrimination of a person based on their religion, sex, national origin or race. But even today, Taliaferro sees racism all around him. He doesn’t believe black people will be treated as equals any time soon. “I can’t tell you how discouraged I am when I see entire states who are looking down on giving all human beings equal education,” Taliaferro
said. “We’re nowhere near the end. We’re nowhere near.” *** Taliaferro gets up from his seat at the kitchen table, eager to pull out a piece of memorabilia he’s kept for more than 50 years. “I got something I want to show you,” he said.

State budget surplus meets partisan disagreement BY SARAH ZINN sjzinn@indiana.edu
Indiana closed the books on fiscal year 2014 on June 30, ending the year with a $106-million surplus and more than $2 billion in reserves. The $2 billion in reserves is allocated to Indiana’s emergency funds, medical and state tuition funds and the rainy day fund. According to a press release, the state government could operate for 49 days using this reserve money if a state emergency or economic disaster were to occur. “At the end of the fiscal year, we do not want to have to go back to Hoosier taxpayers and raise taxes because we need more money,” State Auditor Suzanne Crouch
said in a press release. “By living within our means, keeping prudent reserves and identifying areas of potential growth, we can continue to make Indiana the fiscal envy of the nation.” Indiana’s thriftiness has also allowed the state to maintain its coveted AAA credit rating, making Indiana one of only a handful of states in the country to accomplish this feat. “These numbers show that the Indiana economy is in a good place,” Crouch said. “The $2-billion reserve will help Indiana keep our AAA credit rating, indicating to businesses and employers that Indiana has a stable economic environment and is a wise place to make investments, start new businesses and hire
Hoosiers.” While republicans commend Governor Pence and his administration for its fiscal conservatism, democrats have said the surplus results from cuts in higher education and social programs. Mike Claytor, who is running for state auditor as a democrat, is one of these critics. He said he believes the state needs to be more transparent about its spending and should adjust its financial priorities to better suit the needs of citizens. “The state isn’t really forthcoming about the things it does and doesn’t do,” Claytor said. “The state’s priority seems to be reducing taxes for corporations instead of improving our educational systems.
Several years ago, the state reduced education funding by $300 million, and they never restored that funding.” Claytor, who has worked as an accountant and attorney for more than 40 years, cited several instances where he believes the state is lacking in transparency. “For example, there was a law passed several years ago that said the state had to pay a stipend to parents who adopted special needs children. The stipend was never paid, and the state owes these families $100 million in stipends,” Claytor said. “It’s sort of a slap in the face to parents of special needs children when, under contract, the state has rescinded the stipend money
to make the fund balance appear higher.” Claytor also said the $2 billion in reserves does not account for contingent liabilities, which are financial obligations of an unknown amount that the state will have to pay in the future. According to Claytor, the recent lawsuits, such as one concerning the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, are not accounted for in the budget. “If you really looked at all the money that the state should be paying, the fund balance would be around $1 billion,” he said. “Ultimately, we don’t need $2 billion stuck in the bank when there are more important items we should be addressing.”

The biennial week-long workshop has attracted 1,000 law officials to guide approximatekly 2,000 attendees through exercises, seminars and team competitions pertaining to topics within law enforcement. “We’re trying to give kids firsthand experience what it’s like to be in that career, so when they’re ready to make a commitment to come to a university or post-secondary education or training, they’ve got a little bit of, ‘You know, I really think I’d like to do that as a career, ‘” said Marty Walsh, national director of the sponsoring organization Learning for Life.
Gaming alliance comes to IU ANICKA SLACHTA aslachta@indiana.edu
Sean Duncan didn’t buy a game console until he was in his 30s, and when he did, it was a GameCube — years behind the trends and in a time when second-generation PlayStations were already making their rounds. Today Duncan, now 43, is an assistant professor in the Learning Sciences program at the IU School of Education, a research scientist with the Center for Research on Learning and Technology at IU and a key player in advocating digital learning at the University and in classrooms across the country. He has also been chosen by the Higher Education Video Game Alliance to lead IU’s branch of the organization. IU is one of 19 schools — which include top-tier and Ivy League universities such as Stanford, NYU and Yale — chosen as a charter location for the alliance, which was announced earlier this month at the Aspen Ideas Festival. “We all view games as expressive media, not just technology,” Duncan said of the group. He said there are a number of university initiatives,
programs and centers focusing on bettering kids’ learning right now, and the federal government has also been gathering research on connecting the digital world with the classroom. “Everybody seems to be doing it one way or another,” he said. The alliance is a formal opportunity to pool all of those resources together and work toward the common goal of stronger teaching and learning techniques. The White House seems to agree. “Efforts to increase the connections between educators and professional game developers will help to further strengthen American competitiveness by enhancing the collective power of these programs,” said Mark DeLoura, senior adviser for digital media at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, in a press release from the alliance. He said development programs such as the one being developed currently are creating the next generation of America’s STEM leaders. “It’s more than just playing,” Duncan said. “It’s also about how to think about games in all sorts of new ways.”
That’s one of the problems, he notes. It seems that when people think about the typical gamer, they picture predominantly white males living out of their mothers’ basements. That is not the case, at least not anymore, Duncan said. According to data collected by the Entertainment Software Association in 2014, women of age 18 or older represent a significantly greater portion of “gamers” than boys age 18 or younger. The divide between genders is also relatively even. Of the entire game-playing population, 52 percent is male and 48 percent is female. Duncan said we also need to pay attention to what defines a game. After introducing himself to a lecture hall of more than 100 students at Berkeley during a speaking session, he asked how many of the students identified as gamers. “Maybe 40 hands go up, and they’re all guys,” he said. “And the women had their hands down and just looked like, ‘Oh, god, what have I gotten myself into?’” He rephrased the question. “How many of you have played ‘Words with Friends’
or ‘Candy Crush’ in the past day?” Every hand shot up. Video games are not just about space marines and elves and running around shooting things, Duncan said. Games are about social interaction, learning, and can be looked at from the perspective of design, technical literacy and programming or artistic and creative purposes. Duncan is currently the only member of IU’s team in the alliance, but he is reaching out to others. Both faculty and students will have the opportunity to get involved in the team, which will consist of around five members. The different charter institutions are important connections across the country, he said. They are there to provide opportunities that the other ones cannot, to fill in gaps where there is missing information. This is an opportunity to share knowledge across universities and platforms and start a discussion about important modern research. “People from age 5 to 95 plays games of all sorts,” he said, “And we need to have a better conversation about that.”
The United States Department of Education has granted the IU School of Education and its Center for Evaluation and Education Policy $279,933 to study the impact of Math for All, a program designed to provide effective math instruction. CEEP Director John Hitchcock said the study began on July 1, with research being conducted by the Education Development Center, CEEP, Columbia University, ICF International and the Bank College of Education. According to the press release, in the next year, the researchers will select average-performing elementary schools from the Chicago Public School system. Hitchcock said the study will take another year, and then CEEP will analyze the data with ICF International. Hitchcock and Babette Moeller, managing project director at the Education Development Center in New York City, said they are the principal investigators for the study of Math for All. The initiative is a professional development program for educators to help them teach math to kindergarten through fifth grade students of all learning types and abilities. Moeller said the research funded by the International Education Services that accompanied the development of Math for All showed the program has promise of positively affecting teachers and students. “The research that CEEP will carry out as part of the new IES grant is designed to rigorously assess the impact that the Math for All professional development has on teachers’ knowledge, skill and classroom practices and on student academic achievement in mathematics,” she said. CEEP is a self-funded program evaluation and policy analysis center operated within the School of Education. It seeks grants and contracts to answer educational research questions posed by federal and state agencies. CEEP Marketing and Outreach director Jeff De Witt said CEEP’s goals in
evaluating a program, such as Math for All, include providing the program managers and stakeholders reliable information to help them understand how their program is working as well as offer insights as to how they might improve it. He said CEEP manages 40 to 60 projects per year with an annual face value of approximately $12 million. “Our center is one example of the many ways IU serves our greater community,” De Witt said. “CEEP is known for its reliable work, upholding the professional standards in program evaluation and its non-partisan approach to policy issues.” Hitchcock said the study should provide evidence about whether students who are exposed to the intervention are learning math better than students who receive standard instruction. He said the study will also help researchers understand if teachers who are exposed to the intervention are better at supporting students with diverse strengths and needs to achieve high quality math outcomes. Moeller said the study will yield information about whether or not Math for All is effective in producing the desired outcomes for students and teachers. She said this will help guide school districts in their decisions about adopting the program. “I think there are different opinions on how well the field of math instruction delivers content in early grades, but whatever one’s stance, there is a lot of agreement that we should continuously strive to get better,” Hitchcock said. Hitchcock said IU’s School of Education is one of the best in the country, and, to continuously earn this distinction, they must generate the best possible evidence about teaching practices, and more importantly, inform the field. “If we have a hand in better understanding math instruction, both what is effective and ineffective, then a large number of students might benefit as a result,” he said.

Shane Wynn added to another award watch list BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu
IU senior wide receiver Shane Wynn was named to his second preseason award watch list Tuesday. Wynn earned a spot on the 2014 Biletnikoff Award Watch List as announced by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation. The Biletnikoff Award is given annually in recognition of the most outstanding receiver in college football. Any player who catches passes, regardless of position, is eligible for the award. Former winners include Michael Crabtree, Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss. Wynn is one of 55 players named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list and is one of six members representing the Big Ten. He was also named to the preseason watch list this past week for the Paul Hornung Award, which is awarded to the “most versatile player in college football.” The 5-foot-7, 167-pound Cleveland native is the first player in IU history to record at least one touchdown from the four categories — 17 receiving, one punt return, one kick

SPORTS FROM THE NORTH
Somebody needs to help ailing Cleveland Browns wide receiver AUSTIN NORTH is a senior majoring in journalism.
It’s been a tough 2014 for Josh Gordon when it comes to life off the field. The Browns’ wide receiver had a great year on the field. That much is impossible to ignore. But in February, right before the NFL draft, news surfaced that Gordon had failed his second NFL drug test, a transgression that usually results in a yearlong suspension for players. This was a huge blow for a Browns team that already lacked depth at basically every offensive position. Then, Monday, Gordon made sure Roger Goodell’s decision on how long to suspend Gordon was an easy one. He was pulled over in Raleigh, N.C., on drunk driving charges and bailed out by a guy named “Fats” Thomas, a local club promoter and convicted felon himself. On a team with little to zero talent surrounding him, he was one of the lone bright spots in an extremely difficult 2013 Cleveland season. The Cleveland Browns finished 4-12 which was last in the AFC North division and ended up near the bottom of the American Football Conference despite the division coming in much weaker than in years past. His ascent to superstardom began no later than when he was drafted into the league in 2012 as a rookie, a year in which he caught 50 balls for 805 yards and made five touchdowns with worse than mediocre quarterback play. Those numbers are pretty staggering for a rookie, espe-
cially considering the passing game in Cleveland has been in flux since Bernie Kosar left in 1993. Gordon’s 2013 was the step up everybody expected as the Baylor product racked up 87 catches, 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns with that same inconsistency at quarterback. He hauled in passes from the likes of Brian Hoyer, Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell. He set the franchise record for receiving yards in a season as a sophomore, heading into his third year with a much more talented team featuring explosive rookie Johnny Manziel. Or what would have been his third year, at least. To say Gordon has made some dumb mistakes in his life is like saying Dennis Rodman has made some dumb mistakes in his life. It’s obvious and hardly worth saying at this point in his career. But at the same time, Gordon is a young guy and these trends are really concerning. Even at Baylor, he failed a drug test which ultimately led to him transferring to Utah and sitting out a year after declaring too late for the 2011 Supplemental Draft. And now, after his newest set of legal problems, it’s going to be a surprise to a lot of people in the Cleveland community if Gordon ever suits up in a Browns uniform again. That said, things don’t have to be terrible for Gordon from here on out. He’s only 23 years old and has his entire career in front of him. But knowing that, the Browns and the NFL have a responsibility to keep in contact with the embattled receiver and help him deal with whatever demons he’s

It’s a lifestyle that ruined greats like former Georgetown University and Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson and world famous boxer Mike Tyson, and I think it’s hard for a 23-year-old in his position to break away from those patterns by himself. I’d hate to see Gordon’s career end like this. He’s too much fun to watch for his career to flame out, and, though they can’t follow him everywhere, the Browns and the NFL need to step in and make sure he doesn’t continue in this downward spiral. For Gordon, if nobody else. aknorth@indiana.edu

BMV to appeal personalized license plate court ruling BY ANICKA SLACHTA aslachta@indiana.edu
The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles has been the subject of controversy in the past few months, and about a week ago more fuel was added to the fire. The BMV is looking to appeal a ruling of the Indiana Supreme Court which recently reinstated Indiana’s personalized license plate program. The organization has been the subject of several lawsuits involving First Amendment freedoms and has been criticized for its lack of consistent methods when it came to accepting or rejecting personalized plate requests. Perhaps the most common face of these lawsuits is
Rodney Vawter, a Greenfield, Ind., police officer who applied for and received a personalized license plate that read “0INK” more than three years ago, only to have it revoked in March 2013. “I found it to be humorous because I’m a police officer and have been called a pig multiple times, even by arrestees,” Vawter said. He was issued the letter and number combination without any problem on a Fraternal Order of Police plate and paid his fees for the plate for three years. The revocation seemed out of the blue. “To have a plate that is personalized and offered by the BMV is a way to express your freedom of speech,” Vawter said, and his plate
didn’t fail the BMV’s test of misleading, vulgar or offensive speech. “It only offends me, which I’m good with,” Vawter said. “If people don’t like the plate I chose, then they do not have to look at it.” The complications with Vawter’s lawsuit, alongside an increasing awareness that the BMV had what Vawter calls “no rhyme or reason to what plates are approved or denied,” has led to a gap in the personalized license plate system. Because of the lawsuits, the BMV stopped the personalized license plates program. The Indiana Supreme Court wants to re-enable citizens’ right to practice freedom of speech in public, including on their license plates, but it
doesn’t seem as though the BMV is in agreement. Vawter said he is aware the personalized plate program brings in a good sum of money for the BMV and that will be a key influential factor in the ultimate decision to ban or not ban the program. A July 7 Indiana Public Media report cited sources in the BMV who said it would take a lot of work to reinstate the program and that until further notice, it will be suspended. Vawter said he isn’t worried about the appeals. “The BMV needs to fight their legal battle as far as they can,” he said. “They believe they are right and that I am wrong for having the plate.”
The Indiana Department of Transportation filed a lawsuit against Monroe County this past Friday for what they consider a burdensome noise ordinance, according to Indy Star. INDOT says the ordinance, which prohibits loud noises between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., is getting in the way of the project, which is already
behind schedule. Breaking the ordinance could result in fines as high as $7,500 per violation. It was passed in late June of this year by the Monroe County Board of Commissioners. The court heard the suit this afternoon. No results of the hearing have been reported as of press time. This story will be updated. Sarah Zinn
Woman booked in jail for possession, intent to distribute heroin FROM IDS REPORTS
An ongoing drug investigation culminated in police seizing a substance believed to be heroin on July 15, according to Bloomington police. Jodi A. Reynolds, 33, was booked in Monroe County Jail on preliminary charges of possession of a schedule 1, 2 or 3 drug with intent to distribute, a Level 5 felony. Police had been investigating Reynolds since June 2014, and obtained a search warrant for her residence at 1600 N. Willis Drive, lot 33, which they carried out at about 8 p.m. July 15. Along with an undisclosed amount of heroin, police found several
counterfeit $20 bills and an unloaded semiautomatic handgun under a mattress in the residence. In a closet, police found several lottery tickets folded in a way that was intended to package the heroin. They also found a razor blade and a tray used for packaging and an unidentified white powdery substance. In Reynolds’s purse, police found an undisclosed amount of marijuana along with 18 lottery tickets that had heroin packaged inside them. Police seized all of these items and collected them for evidence. Jacob Klopfenstein

Arachnophobia leads to house fire Killing household pests can be pricey. A man set his own house on fire trying to kill a spider in Seattle on Tuesday night. He told fire officials that he tried to burn the bug using a can of spray paint and a lighter.
This caused his wall to catch fire, and he evacuated when he was unable to put it out. No one was injured, but the blaze did cause about $60,000 of damage. Is it that hard to just squish it?

Indiana draws blood, then keeps it I don’t think the government tries to be insane. But sometimes, its actions are almost comedic, if not a little scary. Taking and storing blood samples of newborn babies is just one example. That’s what the Indiana government has been doing for more than 20 years. The State Department of Health has been collecting and holding blood samples of more than 2 million kids since 1991. Indiana, like many states, takes a blood sample from newborns to test them for medical disorders. It potentially saves hundreds of kids per year, which, by all accounts, is something everyone likes. However, they took and stored the leftover samples in an undisclosed warehouse in Indianapolis. This was all done without the parents’ knowledge or consent. There’s less enthusiasm for this. I understand why they did it. They wanted to use the samples for medical testing. It would be a boon to society, medical research that could help everyone. And I’m sure they weren’t planning on using it for some nefarious reason, such as making zombies or supersoldiers or clones of us all. But still, this probably stepped over the line. I was born in Indiana in 1992. Chances are, one of the blood samples in that warehouse is mine. I’m not particularly concerned about them holding it. If they use it for research and it helps save someone, awesome. But it does seem a little creepy that for over twenty years, a little bit of me has been stored away in some mysterious place, and nobody knew. They should have asked someone first.

Cute baby.
This is one of the reasons people don’t like the government. We’re pretty big on freedom in America. We like the idea that the government doesn’t have the edge on us, that it doesn’t know everything and its reach isn’t too long. When it does things such as collecting blood samples in secret, it reminds us how powerful it can be. If someone’s not watching, the government can get away with a lot. They have far more resources and the ability to use them. That’s just the nature of a government. It’s supposed to be able to do things no single person could accomplish. And it’s not malicious, but cutting through the red tape has its costs. We have bureaucracy in place for a reason. The slower the government moves, the less able it is to oppress us, or even just make mistakes. A little blood might not seem like much, but small steps can lead to big issues. Indiana is now asking permission from parents to use their kids’ blood for research. If you don’t want your kid’s blood used, all you have to do is say so. Why they didn’t start out doing this, I don’t know. Dealing with the government is never easy. There are so many moving parts. One issue can get lost pretty quick. But it’s good this one was resolved. And maybe next time, they’ll remember to ask first.
May I have it for a second? Don’t worry about it. Pretty please? It’s for science!
Thanks. Um, why? Uh, no. No! Nurse!?

A different view of addiction
Universities fall short in rape cases
A group in Manhattan is attempting to change conversation and thought around addiction. The Center for Motivation and Change, based in New York, focuses on a wide range of addiction. They focus on the emotional causes and effects of addiction instead of looking at it as a disease. When I looked into it, I found it compelling that a large part of the facility is dedicated to treating young addicts. As college students, the idea “it’s not alcoholism until after college” is widespread. And for the most part that’s true. The majority of college binge drinkers do not go on to become alcohol dependent, according to Brooklyn psychologist Stanton Peele, a long-time critic of the Alcoholics Anonymous model. College is a challenging time for many and can cause people to suffer from forms of anxiety, depression
or chronic stress that manifest themselves in alcohol or drug-related addiction. Stuff gets to you. Managing tough classes, living on your own, worrying about the future. Mix those together, and it’s not a surprise that people turn to substances for easy solutions. What the Center for Motivation and Change is trying to do is alter the dialogue. Addiction is sometimes seen as extremely black and white. You either help a person or disconnect from them. They can be helped or they can’t. Or, many times, there are serious choices that must be made. You either do or do not drink. If you cannot help yourself you must cut yourself off from anything that might relate to your addiction, including social events and family gatherings. Many young addicts find a strict program of
abstinence difficult, much like a smoker going cold turkey. It either locks them in a vicious cycle or makes demands of them that they fail to meet. Often, families and doctors focus on medicinal aid, and many addictions are labeled as “incurable,” giving addicts a bleak outlook. And when the families are told to employ “tough love” — cutting the addict off or something similar — it backfires, straining or destroying relationships. The Center for Motivation and Change promotes the idea that there are ways in which an addict can muddle through their recovery process without making daunting decisions, and that if their change is experienced as a growth process rather than a quitting process, they are more likely to succeed. I think this approach to addiction, while experimental, might actually make some serious changes. Rather than viewing addiction as incurable, families and

addicts can work together easily through each part of the recovery process. It might also help college students, such as myself, classmates and friends, understand how to really help an addict. As students, if we like to go out to frats or hang out at house parties, we’re sometimes exposed to drinking and drug use at least once a weekend. That means we’re exposed to different degrees and forms of addiction. We can either help or hurt each other. And if we have a clear understanding of the root causes of young adult addiction and know how to help a struggling friend, we can not only change a culture of thought, but also save lives. ewenning@indiana.edu

The editorial board comprises columnists contributing to the Opinion page and the Opinion editors.
The sheer ineptitude of many universities’ handling of rape cases and trials can be absolutely outstanding. The most recent incident of complete institutional idiocy is at Hobart and William Smith College in Geneva, N.Y. It regards the alleged rape of an 18-year-old woman by several football players within the first few weeks of college in 2013. The only reason it is in the news now is because of the length of time it took to finish proceedings and give a final ruling, which of course came out in favor of everyone but the rape victim. The term “alleged” has to be used to describe the rape, since none of the football players were actually convicted. Even though the accused football players changed their stories multiple times, the panel formed to investigate the case did not find any flaws in the players’ stories. The panel also gave a ruling before they examined what could have been the most damning evidence in the case — the results of the rape kit. You would believe Hobart and William Smith College would have handled this case with a little more care. They could have not ignored large blocks of evidence. They could have not released the victim’s name before she decided to come out publicly. They could have taken into account the eyewitness testimony that claimed to have witnessed the rape. But they didn’t. Rape isn’t some faraway

issue. According to IU’s 2013 Annual Security Report for Bloomington, there were 96 forcible sexual offenses on IU’s campus from 2010-12. The University recommends any student who is a victim of a crime to report it to the police as well as the campus administration. Of course, regulations do not do any good if they are not enforced stringently. Even if IU enforcement is currently top-notch compared to other schools, there’s always room for improvement. At this point, it is within universities’ best interests to handle rape cases with care. Of course, cases don’t have to always rule in the “alleged” rape victim’s favor. There are false accusations. But the truth comes to light through the due process of law. No one is above the law, no matter their rank or influence. I believe that is only fair. There might be controversy about the best way to handle the cases. But universities have an obligation to oversee each case to the fullest extent of their abilities. Universities should put their students’ safety above all else. If you can’t feel safe on a campus, why would you want to go there? allenjo@indiana.edu

MUSINGS FROM A LITTLE BIRD Twitter accounts to add to your nest We are a generation of college students that more or less live on our phones. We encounter information in startling quantities throughout each day.
By Griffin Leeds weekend@idsnews.com
Like good nutrition, it is important that you are careful about what you consume. Hence, we have hatched a flock of quality Twitter accounts to make you smile, think and stay informed about your school. Preschool Gems @PreschoolGems It has long been understood that kids say the darndest things. “Preschool Gems” offers a touching collection ranging from the funny to the philosophical that a preschool teacher encounters at her job.
The Dark Lord @Lord_Voldemort7 If you thought Harry Potter wasn’t relevant anymore, then @Lord_Voldemort7 would like to have a few enchanted words with you. His charming snark and wicked wit on current events and daily miscellany will summon a grin to your face.
Word of the Day @thewordoftheday If you like to stay on the lookout for a brainy new word to wow your professors or perhaps want to prepare for the GRE exam, then “Word of the Day” can provide exactly what your budding vocabulary needs. This Twitter account might in fact help you to become a deipnosophist.
The Times is on It @NYTOnIt In the world of journalism, nobody is perfect. “The Times Is On It” is there to poke fun at a certain news leader’s occasional habit of covering that which might be common sense. They’ll even link to the original story just in case you didn’t already know the obvious.
Modern Seinfeld @SeinfeldToday Yes, the last season of “Seinfeld” was on television last century. However, “Modern Seinfeld” is there to spin what would happen if the celebrated sitcom were still around with beautifully idiosyncratic plot synopses.
R.L. Ripples @TweetsofOld Twitter isn’t just for breaking news. In fact @TweetsofOld contributes to the web a wellspring of antiquated news quotes and clippings. Some of these quirky tweets show how different life once was in the United States. Others show how some things never change.
Ads without Context @NoContextAds Now that most of us watch all of our television online, advertisements have become the ultimate nuisance. However, “Ads without Context” is available for you to laugh at some of the most ridiculous out of context .gifs pulled from infomercials. If the clips themselves don’t get you, the onpoint captions will.
'80s Don Draper @80sDonDraper Any viewer of “Mad Men” knows of anti-hero Don Draper’s tendency to have broody, poetic monologues. This Twitter account mkes the 1960s character’s monologues about the 1980s. You are so welcome.

Twitter accounts for the IU student The Indiana University Twitter Suite We’re lucky to attend a social media savvy school. Here are some of the seemingly infinite IU Twitter accounts to help keep your love for — and knowledge of — your university alive. Indiana University @IUBloomington An obvious choice, yes, but the folks running @IUBloomington know how to run a university Twitter. They let the campus squirrels take control of the account this past April Fool’s Day and are fluent in internet speak.
We Are IU @We_Are_IU This Twitter is a part of a blog effort started by the University but fueled by actual students’ writing. If you love reading about your school and the stories of your peers or would simply like access to resources found by students for students, then you’d best start following @We_Are_IU.
Indiana Daily Student @idsnews What? You thought we wouldn’t mention our own Twitter? Just in case you didn’t know our Twitter existed, it does.
Indiana U. Archives @IUBArchives A school as old as IU is going to have some interesting history. The Indiana University Archives dusts off some cool and funny finds from their giant collection and shares some nifty historical tidbits from the IU days of yore.

Musicians, volunteers work together for Summer Jam BY LILIANE HO yuehe@indiana.edu
After two years of various charity work, Shawn Perigon will present Summer Jam 2014, a hip-hop and rock concert July 18 at Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the show starts at 5 p.m. “I think it is groundbreaking,� said Perigon, a hip-hop musician and organizer of the concert. “Nobody has ever really done that at home. No one has really thought about giving back to the community as a musician in this way.� General admission is $15 for adults, $10 for high school or college students and $6 for children 12 and under. Tickets are available online at bctboxoffice.com. Perigon said he got the inspiration to get involved in charity work and find ways to give back to society with music after having success in his own music career. “I think musicians can’t make music for fame, recognition and money, but for real passion and the huge possibilities it can bring for other people to make their life better,� Perigon said. “I met musicians who
have made a decent amount of money in the industry, and then I thought about people who don’t have what I have especially during holidays, people with no home, no food, no Christmas trees� Perigon said. “I could no longer find myself happy and satisfied with my life.� Perigon has a supporting crowd behind the scene. Half of the performing musicians were talked into playing by social media. However, everyone showed a sense of responsibility and an obligation to give back after they first heard about the good cause. The concert features a long list of performers, including Jared Bradshaw, the Jesse Lacy Trio, Myah Evans, GLR, The Peacock Effect, Vosie and Roc-A-Bloc, Matty Moe and Boss D, IInd Hand, Straight Davis, Crackalac, and BitterSweet. Jesse Lacy, a graduate of the IU Jacobs School of Music, is now working on his new album, which is to be released in 2016. He’s thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to the community. “I’m all about community,� Lacy said. “I want to make people feel at home. I’d like
to create an enchanting environment where everyone will want to reside.� Although the band frequently returns to Bloomington for public performances, it will be the first time the trio will play at a benefit concert. All the ticket sales will be donated to Becky’s Place in Bedford. Becky’s Place is an emergency shelter for women and children. It provides meals and supporting services for them as they move towards employment, permanent housing and self-sufficiency. Each resident works with a case manager. Becky’s Place has served 260 residents, including 100 children, since its opening in 2012. Most women seek help because of addiction, domestic situations and divorces. “Every woman and child we encounter comes from a different situation,� Becky’s Place Program Director Corrina Hayes said. “One thing that all of them share is that they are in survival mode. What we provide is stability, structure and positive support.� Perigon met Hayes in December 2013. “We did a company fundraising event with raffles
�@midnight� and “Chelsea Lately.� The show will begin at 8 p.m. Thursday and at 8 and 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Tickets can be purchased at the comedyattic. com
“I think musicians can’t make music for fame, recognition and money, but for real passion and the huge possibilities it can bring for other people to make their life better� Shawn Perigon, hip-hop musician and organizer of Summer Jam 2014
for Christmas last year, and I met Corrina and learned about Becky’s Place and their needs,� Perigon said. As for the goal this year, Perigon hopes the concert will spread awareness of homelessness. Perigon is also looking forward to collaborating with two or three organizations every year with three shows each year. Perigon said he appreciates the openness of the Bloomington community. “I think the inclusiveness of the concert communicates with the audience in Bloomington,� Perigon said. “We have students and people from around the world attending IU who appreciate various music genres and are open to listening really closely.�

Linda Ritter was sitting near the Showalter Fountain outside of the Fine Arts Building Wednesday evening. “I am here for my daughter’s freshman orientation. In her first year, I hope my daughter can gain a sense of independence and empowerment personally and really get a sense of honing in on the things that are going to interest her from a career standpoint. For me, the best part of college was the sense of growing up and learning so many new things, meeting so many new people and having so many new and different experiences. I hope she can have that too.�

A chimp off the old blockbuster
Re-vamped horror? A little writing about TV writing “The Strain”
“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”
Starring: Corey Stoll, Mia Maestro, Sean Astin,
Starring: Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke,
commentary
B-
B Some movies have concepts so ludicrous it becomes almost impossible to suspend disbelief. “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” is almost one of these films, but manages to just barely avoid this fate thanks to a compelling performance by Andy Serkis. Serkis plays an ape called Caesar, the benevolent ruler of the escaped test subjects from the previous installment. They have their own colony, complete with schooling, hospital care and culture. They go on hunts and enjoy conversations after dinner. This peace is shattered when a human scavenging party comes across them. Turns out, the simian flu that gave the apes their intelligence — with the side effect of wiping out most of the human population — left a few survivors. The protagonists Malcolm (Jason Clarke) and Ellie (Keri Russell) only want peace. However, their leader at the ruins of San Francisco, Dreyfus (Gary Oldman), thirsts for vengeance. War seems inevitable, especially since Caesar’s attempts at peace are often undermined by Koba (Toby Kebbell), who thinks humans are too dangerous to trust. The story of two parties on the brink of violence is familiar. The relationships make us overlook that. Ellie and Malcolm share a love built on mutual loss. Both of their families were killed by

the simian flu. Caesar is humanized by his struggle to balance the duties of leadership with the responsibilities of fatherhood. Serkis will certainly get an Oscar someday for his pioneering in the field of motion capture performance. The expressions, voice and body language he gives Caesar are transformative. They alone are worth the price of admission. The rest of the movie is pretty good, despite every now and then the viewers realize they are watching a movie where monkeys ride on horses and shoot people. These images are never quite goofy enough to spoil the movie’s fun, but it is occasionally a close call. The movie ultimately works because the political tension between apes and humans feels real. Interactions between the groups are flawed, complex and tinged with sadness. In short, they are human. Director Matt Reeves has signed on to write and direct the sequel. If he can keep this movie’s humanism and make us forget that we are watching monkeys, perhaps by telling a more original story, then he will have made the best “Planet of the Apes” movie yet. Andrew Wurdeman
Good horror is hard to come by these days, be it on television, at the movies or even in the pages of a book. In the first two media, there seems to be a dichotomy between “torture porn” stories and supernatural haunting stories. The first relies on gore, the second on jump moments. FX’s new show “The Strain” is like neither of these. Rather, its pilot, “Night Zero,” suggests the show could be of that rare breed of horror story that blends an uncanny understanding of human psychology with an exciting narrative. While the characters introduced so far threaten to stray into cliché, the episode’s rapid pace manages to make us compelled by these individuals, and will convince most viewers to tune in next week. The basic story has several threads. One is the Center for Disease Control’s investigation of a plane full of deathly passengers. This investigation is led by Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) with the help of Dr. Nora Martinez (Mia Maestro) and the agreeable Jim (Sean Astin). The other story involves an old pawnshop owner Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley) who is clearly something of a Van Helsing in this universe. He seems to be the only one who knows the true threat the plane full of plagued passengers possesses. He also seems to be the only person who scares the two vampire overlords overseeing the outbreak.

Lastly, we have Gus (Miguel Gomez), who is unwittingly aiding the vampires’ plot on the assumption that this will be his last gig for the strange criminals. These plots overlap in some unexpected ways that, so far, seem irrelevant to the larger picture. The show is at its best when it creates tension. Though we can often guess the fate of a certain character, how exactly that character will or will not die is one of the joys of scary entertainment. The only downside to this is that, so far, the characters are all fairly one-note. Gus, for instance, is only working for the vampires to protect his family, while Dr. Goodweather is a talented at work but lacks as a family man. The show’s understanding of human psychology is never about the characters it creates, but rather how things scare us. To really be great, “The Strain” will have to trust us to understand its themes – the voiceover is unnecessary – and also make us care about the characters threatened with violence. As it is, the show is fun. With a little work, it could be a bloody good time. Andrew Wurdeman
Now that the World Cup is concluded, Internet talk can shift from soccer on television to actual television. Blogs, forums and messengers are once again rife with chatter about TV. The nominations for the 66th Annual Emmy Awards were released July 10 and further fueled the fire. Seeing as the Emmy Awards are my Christmas, Thanksgiving and Little 500 all wrapped up in one glorious night, I could write an entire newspaper worth of commentary on these nominations. Fear not; I won’t. Instead I will focus on what I see as one of the most important aspects of television, and siphon this column to the topic of writing. Even when performers excel at onscreen ad-libs and breathe life into the characters and stories, there would be nothing into which they could breathe if not for their writers.They are also the nerds of the television world, so I am obviously going to give them the attention they deserve. Writing is no exception to the trend of critical acclaim sliding seismically in favor of cable and premium channels.Out of 22 nominations across 4 categories for television writing, the only nominees that are not from a cable or subscription provider are “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on NBC and “Sherlock: His Last Vow” on PBS. In the world of television drama and the mini-series and movie categories, this is nothing too drastic. The serious shows of network televisions have been long ousted by the better-budget programming of cable and premium providers. This year, however, has

demonstrated networks’ lost grip on the comedy writing awards. I have been distressed near the point of losing sleep because of “Saturday Night Live” being shut out from a shot at an Emmy it hasn’t won since 2002. That said, it’s not like the show has been dominating the category lately. This is by no means the first time they’ve not made the list either. But with their 6-year stretch coming to an end, I fear another SNL dark age is about to ensue. The only thing keeping my hope alive is the four guest actor nominees for when Tina Fey, Melissa McCarthy, Jimmy Fallon and Louis C.K. were hosts. The end of beloved and quirky comedies “The Office” and “30 Rock” also left a void waiting to be filled by network television’s opponents. I guess NBC cannot truly claim itself to be the same home to comedy that it once was. Considering the younger target audiences of a lot of television comedy, this is no shock. Network programming is not nearly as adapted for online viewership as their competition. Just ask anyone who knocked out “Orange is the New Black” in one week or less. Griffin Leeds
