WELCOME WEEK BLOCK PARTY Tickets $25 9 p.m. Aug. 20 Fee Lane & 13th Street From IDS reports
IU Block Party announced Zhu as its headlining act, with special guests Kiiara, MAX and Matsu, for its 2016 event. The annual carnival and concert takes place Aug. 20, during Welcome Week. It is open to all students free of charge from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., with doors opening for the concert at 9 p.m. Concert tickets cost $25 and can be purchased at go.iu.edu/blockparty. Zhu, an electronic musician, record producer and singer, released his first track in February 2014. The song, titled “Moves Like Ms. Jackson,” was released anonymously. Zhu remained anonymous for several months because he wanted to be judged by his music alone. He might be most known for his song “Faded,” released in March 2014, which quickly climbed the global charts. It was also nominated for a Grammy. In 2015, Zhu collaborated with Skrillex and THEY to produce “Working for It.” The track was certified platinum in Australia, reached the Top 40, and also made the U.S. Dance/Electronic chart. Zhu is set to release his debut album “Generationwhy” at the end of July. His title track first premiered at Coachella 2016. One of Zhu’s two opening acts, Kiiara, is a singer-songwriter from Illinois. An electronic pop musician, Kiiara released her hit song “Gold” in June 2015. “Gold” was chosen as the background music for an Apple Watch commercial last year. IU’s own Matsu, a DJ, will kick off the concert. According to his website, he “combines elements of turntablism and live production to create a unique, crowd-rocking sound.” Matsu has opened for multiple national acts during his young career. The concert coincides with a carnival that, in years past, has included free food, class carnival games and rides. It takes places on the corner of Fee Lane and 13th Street, south of McNutt Residence Hall.

KAINE’S WITH HER Clinton names Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as vice presidential running mate From IDS reports
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton named Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., as her running mate July 22. “Tim is a lifelong fighter for progressive causes and one of the most qualified vice presidential candidates in our nation’s history,” Clinton said in a press release. Clinton’s announcement comes on
the heels of the Republican National Convention and days before the beginning of the Democratic National Convention starting July 25. Kaine is a Harvard Law School graduate and worked as a civil rights lawyer in Richmond, Virginia, for 17 years before beginning his political career with running for — and winning — a city council seat, according to the release. Clinton said in the release she chose Kaine as her vice presidential pick
because he’s never taken a job for money, glory or the title. She said she couldn’t find anyone, be it a Democrat or a Republican, who could say anything negative about his character. “He’s the same person whether the cameras are on or off,” Clinton said in the release. “I have no doubt that Tim can do the job.” Anicka Slachta

Kyle Busch repeats and dominates Brickyard 400 From IDS reports
Kyle Busch came into the 23rd running of the Brickyard 400 as the prohibitive favorite. Busch left Indianapolis as the repeat brickyard champion after dominating the rest of the field on the way to his victory. He had the most laps led in the race’s history with 149 after the race went in overtime because of cautions. He became the first driver in NASCAR history to sweep both the XFINITY race at Indianapolis and the Brickyard, along with sitting on the pole for both. Busch started off the race strong, leading the first 26 laps of the race. Only two other drivers led a lap. Teammates Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski both employed aggressive pit strategies at they tried to pit one less time than drivers. They both led portions of the race early on but weren’t able to overtake Busch for the rest of the race.
Final Top 5 Racers 1. Kyle Busch 2. Matt Kenseth 3. Jimmie Johnson 4. Denny Hamlin 5. Kyle Larson Busch overcame their strategy and found his way to retake the lead on lap 62 from Logano. Busch led the rest of the race. Carl Edwards climbed into second place about a third of the way into the race, and stood just a few seconds behind Busch for much of the middle portion of the race. Edwards nearly overtook Busch on lap 127 after a restart. Martin Truex Jr. also came close after a restart as he jumped up to second. The race went into an overtime because of another caution, but Busch was able to prevail after keeping his restarts clean. Andrew Hussey
