Running for office while still in college is stressful.

That’s what Drew Ash, the 22-year-old IU senior running for the Indiana House of Representatives, has learned through his campaign for District 61.

“It’s like the triangle — school, work and social life,” Ash said. “But you can only pick two.”

The two he chooses depends on the weekend.

There are some nights he wants to focus on the campaign but has to study. There are Friday nights when he wants to go out with his friends and fraternity brothers in Phi Delta Theta, but he’s had to stay in, work on the campaign and prepare for debates.

It’s not the usual way a senior spends his final fall in college, but it’s one Ash has been planning long before he came to Bloomington.

He always knew he wanted to be involved in politics. As a third grader, he would get into debates in the cafeteria with teachers and lunch ladies about the war in Iraq.

“I was telling them we should go into Afghanistan, but not Iraq,” Ash said. “They were very nuanced arguments.”

He decided in middle school he would run for political office one day. Now, as an IU senior studying environmental management and policy analysis, he is making good on that decision.

Though Ash’s family currently lives in Connecti-

cut, he grew up in the Midwest and his Indiana roots “run deep.” Both of Ash’s parents attended IU, and some of his family still lives in the state. This is what motivated him to run for office in Indiana, he said.

“Ultimately, I love the Hoosier hospitality,” Ash said.

Unlike on the East Coast, he said everywhere he goes in Indiana he is received warmly.

“I’m new to this, but I think there are attributes that are just as important, if not more important, than experience.”

Ash lives in a one-bedroom apartment by College Mall. The living room and kitchen are decorated with a Corona neon light and sports memorabilia from the Columbus Blue Jackets and European soccer clubs.

A Phi Delta Theta fraternity flag hangs over the couch. The living room television always has the news on, Ash said. A Herald-Times article featuring Ash is framed in the bathroom. The refrigerator has a poster with pictures of every member of the Indiana House of Representatives and a detailed dry erase board calendar.

Ash is running as an Independent for the seat because he said he believes the two-party system has

Suspect arrested in Gentry murder From IDS reports

Charges for the September beating and murder of Donald Gentry were placed Tuesday afternoon against registered sex offender John Griffin, 63.

Donald Gentry was found dead Sept. 12 having been beaten to death. His girlfriend found his body.

Gentry was previously charged and convicted on charges of dealing methamphetamine and other drugs.

Monroe County Sheriff Brad Swain said law enforcement investigators followed up on leads from witnesses and tips which pointed to Griffin as the alleged murderer.

According to the press release, Griffin was identified as a suspect two weeks ago and the investigation developed from there.

Griffin was convicted in 1997 to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexual misconduct with a minor in Bartholomew County. As a registered sex offender, he was required to appear at the sheriff ’s office weekly.

Swain said he believes Griffin pretended to be interested in buying drugs from Gentry and used the opportunity to try to rip-off Gentry for drugs or money.

Griffin is in custody and the murder charge is pending.

Fire at Wells Library investigated as arson From IDS reports

A fire that occurred in Wells Library on Tuesday evening is under investigation as arson.

The flames engulfed a paper towel dispenser hanging on the wall in the east tower’s 10th floor men’s restroom.

Smoke detectors initially reported the fire, IU Police Depart-

ment Capt. Andy Stephenson said.

Shortly after that, someone pulled a fire alarm.

There are now black char and burn marks where the paper towel dispenser hung, reaching from the floor to the ceiling.

Stephenson said there are no suspects at this time.

failed the country. Democrats and Republicans try to differentiate themselves on social issues, such as gay marriage and transgender rights, but Ash said it is a false dichotomy. There is no money in social issues, but when it comes to economics, the parties have more in common than most people think, he said.

“Both parties are two heads on the same coin,” Ash said.

He said he believes the Democratic Party lacks progressiveness. On the federal level, Hillary Clinton is for fracking and “disastrous” free trade agreements that are not moving the country forward. On the state level, gubernatorial candidate John Gregg is a big supporter of the coal industry, he said.

Ash said politics follows money, so though he previously identified as a liberal, he now has reservations when it comes to the Democratic Party.

“Drew’s views align mostly with that of what Bernie Sanders was saying during the Democratic primaries and what (Green Party candidate) Jill Stein is stating now,” Daniel Olsson, an intern with Ash’s campaign, said.

Though Ash has previously worked on political campaigns, including the Sanders campaign, he has never held an elected position before. He admits his opponent Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington, has more experience from serving as the representative for District 61 since 2002, when Ash was in elementary school. Nevertheless, trust in government is at an SEE ASH, PAGE 6

Walk2Vote leads students to the polls

By Lydia Gerike lgerike@umail.iu.edu | @lydi_yeah

In a space known for political rallies, IU’s Political and Civic Engagement program took to Dunn Meadow on Wednesday afternoon for a nonpartisan Walk2Vote celebration of the first day of early voting.

“We want to do something to get students to engage practically in the political world and public life more generally,” PACE director Sandra Shapshay said.

From noon to 2 p.m., music, food and speakers drew curious onlookers to find out more about the early voting process.

Afterward, PACE led a group of about 25 students to the Seventh Street polling location to place their vote, Shapshay said.

Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton was the first to speak at the Dunn Meadow kickoff party.

He began his speech with what he said were “three of the most important words in the English language,” the beginning of the United States Constitution: “We the People.”

Hamilton said he often votes early to ensure nothing stops him from casting his ballot by the time the polls close on Election Day. He encouraged IU students to vote early and avoid standing in long lines Nov. 8.

Echoing the words of Thomas Jefferson, he said America is not a government of the majority but a government of the majority who participate.

For Hamilton, students’ votes are a way for them to enact change.

Lisa-Marie Napoli, head organizer for Walk2Vote, plays a game of wiffle scoop.

Walk2Vote encourages students to vote early in the presidential election.

Even if they aren’t familiar with every candidate on the ballot, he said they should still support the ones they know.

“Voting is like a muscle,” Hamilton said. “It’s like making sure you don’t get flabby and out of shape.”

In the 2012 presidential election, only 41 percent of IU’s eligible voters casted a ballot, and only 9 percent participated in the 2014 midterm, Shapshay said.

She said she hopes Walk2Vote and IU’s partnership with the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, a nonpartisan organization that encourages colleges

to become politically involved, will increase students’ voter turnout rate.

“Our aim is to celebrate this precious right,” Shapshay said.

Any student who was unable to vote Wednesday can still participate in Walk2Vote. PACE will have a group leave from the Sample Gates at noon the next three Wednesdays, Shapshay said.

Local politicians stopped in at the event to reach out to potential voters and encourage them to vote.

Sigma Chi raises sexual assault awareness

By Regina Mack regmack@indiana.edu | @regmack_

Rain may have interrupted Sigma Chi’s second annual Hoosiers Against Sexual Assault event Wednesday evening, but it didn’t discourage members from participating.

Instead they moved inside the house to hear speeches about sexual assault prevention and bystander intervention techniques.

Cullen Hoene, a junior and member of Sigma Chi fraternity, started the event when he realized sexual assault was prevalent on campus and wanted to do something about it.

“I saw people doing great events for things like cancer research but didn’t really see anything that was affecting our campus right here and right now,” Hoene said.

Hoene said he hopes the event will positively effect Sigma Chi and the greek community by raising awareness and making discussions about sexual assault less taboo.

“We want members to be able to have constructive discussions about it with their friends and families,” Hoene said.

Speaking at the event was Leslie Fasone, assistant dean of students of women’s and gender affairs, who emphasized the importance of not accepting nonverbal

Sigma Chi fraternity brothers invite IU students to enjoy pizza, live music and guest speakers during their second annual Sexual Assault Awareness event held in the Sigma Chi front yard Wednesday evening. The brothers aim to increase awareness of sexual assault on campus with important guest speakers such as Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault (MARS).

communication as consent, especially in situations where two people don’t know each other well. Stalking and sexual exploitation, like sharing of explicit text messages, are other issues Fasone said are present on college campuses.

“What we really need to do

is educate students on what they can do to step up and intervene in certain situations,” Fasone said.

Fasone also encouraged Sigma Chi members to show support to friends who come to them about sexual assault experiences.

“Believe them,” Fasone said. “Listen. Show them that you care and support them,” Emily Milner, a donor relations manager at Middle Way House, spoke at the event to inform attendees about Middle Way House’s different services, including the men’s

First Nations leads frybread demo

By Elli Schank emschank@indiana.edu | @elli_schank

For many people in America, Monday was Columbus Day. For others, this day was a grim reminder of the consequences of Columbus’ journey suffered by indigenous people in North America.

However, for the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center, the week following Columbus day offered the perfect opportunity to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Week.

On Wednesday, the center decided the best way to unite the Native American community at IU and educate those who are not directly a part of this community would be through food. Specifically, through frybread.

“It’s a food people think of when they think of native food,” Director of the

FNECC Nicky Belle said.

“It’s traditional in the sense it has become ingrained in the culture.”

Frybread is a Native American food that originates from the time period in which tribes received flour rations from the government. At one point it was a necessity for survival, but now it is a cultural symbol for people who have grown up making it with their families.

Perhaps the most distinct feature of frybread is that there is no widely accepted “correct” method to making it.

Heather Williams, who demonstrated a way of making frybread at the event, uses her own ratio of flour, salt, baking soda and dry milk then adds a bit of sugar.

On the other hand, Gaby Anderson’s family recipe doesn’t use any dairy product at all.

Though the prospect of eating frybread brought people to the FNECC Wednesday, the intent of the event was to bring about awareness of Native American cultures in the IU and Bloomington communities.

In grad student Nayely Gonzalez’s view, connection to the non-native community is essential.

“It’s really important considering we are such a big university and community,” Gonzalez said.

“There’s a lot we can learn form each other. The school tends to take over the whole town so we should be reaching out more to community.”

The FNECC has been hosting events since Monday to counter Columbus Day. Various areas of the country and organizations have began replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day. Belle stated Columbus Day is not

recognized in the FNECC, and attendees of the event seemed to agree with this sentiment.

“I feel Columbus Day is completely unnecessary,” said freshman Sam Fluharty. “We shouldn’t celebrate — you could say — almost a genocide of people.”

The FNECC will continue Indigenous Peoples Week by offering counseling services on Thursday and Friday. The center will also be hosting several events throughout November, which is Native American Heritage Month.

They will kick off the monthlong celebration of heritage on Nov. 1 with a visit from Native American artist Steven Paul Judd.

But right now, of course, the question on everyone’s minds: what does frybread taste like?

Fluharty described the flavor with just one word: delicious.

Students volunteer at pipeline protest

By Chris Mura cmura@indiana.edu | @chris__mura

Five IU freshmen returned Sunday from protesting the planned pipeline at the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota. They donated supplies collected the week before fall break and volunteered at the camp surrounding the protests.

Natalia Kuzbiel, Maggie Gates, Arianne Kelley, Dylan Williams and Rachel Doehla drove to North Dakota and camped out this past weekend.

Though the students did not get to be on the front lines of the protest, they worked as volunteers during the three days they were at the camp. This included doing chores such as cooking food for other volunteers in the camp, serving food, washing dishes and setting up military tents.

They collected seven full garbage bags of clothes and two cardboard boxes of food, which they added to a collective donation tent on the reservation.

The group interacted with American-Indian people from several different tribes, including the Navajo, Cherokee and Lakota peoples. They attended a powwow and went to prayers around a sacred fire that had been burning for seven consecutive years.

“It was a very good insight into their culture,” Kuzbiel said. “We learned how sacred their clothing is, their symbols are.”

Though they did not get

to experience direct action or join those who were engaged in protest, volunteering on the reservation provided a sense of community and oneness.

“When there’s direct action throughout the week, there’s not as much focus on community building,” Williams said.

The camp was made up of 4,000 to 5,000 people, according to the students’ estimates. One volunteer had flown in from California, and two had come from France.

Another man had quit his job in order to devote his full attention to the cause.

“Everybody was so welcoming,” Doehla said. “I didn’t want to leave because I felt I was needed.”

Although Williams said the camp itself was disorganized since it was staffed by

constantly changing volunteers, they believed the sense of being needed and of making a difference made the trip worth it.

“We expected a sense of community, but I’ve never experienced such a sense of community,” Kuzbiel said.

“Everybody played a role, everybody felt important and felt like they were aiding the cause.”

The students took photos and videos during their stay and conducted interviews with particularly integral volunteers to be made into a video that will eventually be shown at Collins LivingLearning Center and the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center.

Though some volunteers planned to stay through the winter until March 31, when the pipeline’s permit expires,

the students had to return to classes at the end of fall break. But the experience, they said, was incredible, and they would strongly consider returning over spring break.

The students’ experience with a community coming together to fight for their homes inspired them, and they urged anyone else considering getting involved with activism to find something they are passionate about and make a difference.

“You get up and go,” Doehla said. “It actually is that simple.”

No one should be dissuaded from finding their cause, Kuzbiel added.

“There’s things like this happening all over the country,” she said. “Everyone can help in some way, shape or form.”

engagement program which encourages more men to volunteer.

Milner said greek organizations have been good about responding to her requests for communication about sexual assault, but they should try to be more proactive about

preventing it rather than only discussing it after the fact.

“I think there have been some good steps forward, but we still have a lot left to go,” Milner said.

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller spoke to inform attendees about the Indiana Coalition to End Sexual Assault. He said the coalition is determined to treat victims with dignity and respect.

Zoeller commended Sigma Chi for having discussions about sexual assault issues and said the audiences he speaks to about sexual assault are usually made up of women.

“In order to have a discussion about sexual assault we should be talking to men, too,” Zoeller said.

Josh Leitman, co-director of Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault, encouraged fraternity men to watch out for other people and be aware of their surroundings at social events.

Leitman used coercion as an example of a sexual assault issue that can happen at parties and other social events, and he said members should intervene in situations where they think someone is being pressured into doing something.

“The culture is to leave it alone and not go against the grain, but it’s important to go against the grain,” Leitman said.

New career support program to give students headstart From IDS reports

A new career support program has been created by the IU College of Arts and Science with a purpose to prepare students for work in their majors. Officially titled the Arts and Sciences Career Communities, the program starts with students when they declare their majors.

These communities are a model of what the different career paths would look like.

Students become actively involved in the development of their career while taking classes to prepare for their future work. The Walter Center for Career Achievement is facilitating the program.

“The power of an arts and sciences degree comes in part from its wide applicability in the job market,” Director of Career Services Joe Lovejoy said in a press release. “The career community model demonstrates the marketable nature of an arts and sciences degree by connecting students to successful alumni working in a wide variety of careers.”

College of Arts and Sciences students are able to get involved in an array of career paths, including advertising and public relations, healthcare and wellness, design and education.

Alumni are an important part of the program, Lovejoy said in the press release. They serve as models of job success, and they can help students to be more advantageous in their job searches. IU is one of the first schools in the country to create such a program for

arts and sciences students.

“We are now well-positioned to help our students translate their degrees into concrete action and meaningful employment,” Lovejoy said in the press release.

The Walter Center also allows students to use their career services. Some of these services include oneon-one career coaching and internships. The development of this model was created with funding from the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President. Their funding also helped to pay for hiring more professional career services for nearly 11,800 students.

“We are among the first in the nation to build a career communities model for arts and sciences students,” Larry Singell, executive dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said in the press release. “As others begin to emulate our program, what will continue to distinguish the College is the quality, consistency and comprehensiveness of the services we now offer our students.”

Alumnus Ralph Collins Walter gave $6 million to the College of Arts and Sciences in August. Half of his donation will be used to fund career-development-based scholarships.

“The College has a long history of producing graduates who go on to be leaders in their fields, and this new program will ensure that we continue to do so for many years to come,” Singell said in the press release.

Police request 2017 budget increase

By Dominick Jean drjean@indiana.edu | @Domino_Jean

The Bloomington Police Department is requesting a budget increase of $1,333,471 for a total of almost $14 million for the 2017 financial year. The budget represents more than a 10 percent increase since 2016 for BPD. A number of those costs are known from previous years, while others are new for 2017.

“Most of those are fixed costs,” BPD Capt. Steve Kellams said. “We know what they cost.”

The largest portion, approximately $11 million of the proposed budget, is devoted to paying salaries for more than 100 officers and another 63 civilian employees and is part of the set of “fixed costs” for the department.

After health and life insurance, additional medical testing and overtime pay, personnel services cover approximately $11.6 million dollars of the budget, another increase from the past year. Medical costs have also increased as a result of President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing.

The initiative by the president is designed to encourage a robust and “fitter” police force.

Kellams said that other increases are to pay for an assistant supervisor in records and for a part-time evidence clerk.

The part-time clerk would help organize and clear away excess evidence, which Kellams said is a huge problem for the department and its evidence technicians, who do not have time to do it.

“Evidence doesn’t get cleared away,” Kellams said. “It’s a mess down there.”

Evidence like video footage has to be held for 99 years if re-

In 2015, their budget was primarily dedicated to covering personnel services.

Personnel services

Other services and charges

$11,179,789

$457,422

$362,595

Bloomington Police Department spent over $11 million dollars in 2015 on personnel services.

Of this, $7 million was for regular salaries and wages and about $1.7 million was for health and life insurance.

Other items under this topic on the budget include overtime wages, clothing allowance, unemployment compensation and Federal Insurance Compensation Act.

Supplies made up a significantly smaller portion of the BPD budget than personnel services in 2015.

From this, $9,467 were spent on office supplies, $37,953 were spent on institutional supplies and $152,537 were spent on fuel and oil. Other items in this section of the budget included motor vehicle repair and other repairs and maintenance, uniforms and tools and building materials and supplies.

The most ambiguous section of the BPD budget for 2015 used the least amount of money, in comparison to the other two sections. This section of the budget was used to cover travel, exterminator services, telephone, postage, printing, advertising, electrical services, water and sewage, natural gas, bank charges, and crime control.

months.

Manning approves and processes all public access requests.

Kellams said whenever she is not on duty, those requests get kicked up the chain to him.

Kellams said an assistant supervisor and part-time evidence clerk would help with evidence backlog and is necessary for BPD to work efficiently.

“They’re absolutely essential,” Kellams said.

Some of the costs for the budget are not necessarily fixed and are subject to alteration, such as vehicle repairs, building and electrical maintenance, uniform costs and what are called “capital outlays.”

One of the biggest changes

from 2016 to 2017 is in what are called “capital outlays.” Capital outlays describe money spent to repair, upgrade or maintain assets, buildings and new technology.

While Kellams was unable to give an exact figure, he did say one surprising cost was the uniforms for honor guard members. Every uniform must be carefully form-fitted to the individual, he said.

“They can’t squeeze an index card in there,” Kellams said.

While they have to buy new honor guard uniforms for each individual, equipment like ballistic vests and other tactical gear is readily available and can be used by many officers.

quested by an individual, and that data begins to pile up, Kellams said.

BPD Chief Michael Diekhoff wrote in the proposal the new supervisor is necessary to help the records division that works around the clock to process requests.

“The records division is in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week,’ Diekhoff wrote. “This division has one supervisor.”

The assistant supervisor would work with Joan Manning, the current records manager, to help process public access requests, crime logs and other paperwork. The backlog for data requests can be as long as six

“We don’t have to buy all new gear,” Kellams said.

“It’s not like ballistic vests are form-fitted.”

In 2016, only around $200,000 was given for capital outlay, according to budget records. In 2017, BPD will devote $675,000, three times the previous year’s amount. Kellams said a lot of the increase in the budget comes from upkeep and maintenance of technology, building and vehicles.

Diekhoff wrote in the proposal that capital outlays are essential to effectively protect and the community.

“The capital outlays are critical in order for us to continue to deliver on our mission of safeguarding life and property,” Diekhoff wrote.

Compared to other departments in the city, Kellams said the almost 11 percent increase for BPD is reasonable and absolutely needed.

BPD’s budget increase is only 11 percent, compared to 24.4 percent for the Controller’s Office or 81 percent for the Office of the Mayor.

However, the police budget has a much larger overall budget to begin with, at almost $14 million. The Controller’s Office has requested a budget of $1,346,585, and the Office of the Mayor has requested $799,759.

So, while their requests show a greater percent of increase, they do not approach the budget for BPD. Kellams said that the increase in the budget is necessary for BPD and does not even cover everything that the department needs.

“Our 11 percent is very conservative,” Kellams said “It’s not only necessary, but a drop in the bucket, considering our needs.”

Hispanic, Latino communities award students for service

By Katelyn Haas haask@indiana.edu | @khaas96

Families and friends celebrated the Hispanic and Latino communities Tuesday night with recognition through awards to community members and students.

The community members gathered at City Hall to recognize these leading members in the Latino and Hispanic communities in Bloomington.

Students and adults alike were honored.

The Commission on Hispanic and Latino Affairs includes members appointed

by Bloomington Common Council and Mayor John Hamilton.

The commission works to develop committees to address the challenges of

members of the Hispanic and Latino populations in the areas of education, health, employment as well as celebrate Latino and Hispanic history within the Bloomington community.

The ceremony began with remarks from Hamilton, who apologized for his lack of Spanish speaking, but did attempt to speak part of his speech in the language.

“It is so good to be in a community that continues to grow and diversify,” Hamilton said. “It’s good for our schools, our city, our future and our stomachs.”

The crowd laughed in response.

The awards ceremony gave out annual awards within the community.

These awards included

and inclusion to Hispanic and Latino families,” Hamilton said. “We are becoming a more diverse and more interesting city because of all this.”

Israel Herrera, member of the commission, said

the commission was established to help promote and support Latino and Hispanic families in the Bloomington community.

He said the medal recipients took great symbolic honor in the medals. He said one student, Kenobi Ramirez, even drove from Nebraska to accept his award, after moving there at the end of last year.

Jan Bergeson, director of secondary education for MCCSC, said the largest language minority at MCCSC schools are the Spanish speaking students.

She said these awards are important to encourage students to keep working.

Bergeson said in the MCCSC this year, there are 40 different languages spoken by limited English profi-

cient students. She said out of the 311 limited English proficient students, 89 students are Spanish speaking.

“Students who attend schools with a diverse population can develop an understanding of children from other backgrounds,” Bergeson said. “Diversity embraces the richness of human differences.”

Lucia Davila and Marcela Garcia of Bloomington High School South, Sarah Graves of Bloomington High School North and Isla Weber of Edgewood High School — all high school seniors — were presented with the Outstanding Latino High School Student diplomas, recognizing their leadership skills or distinguishing their skills in academics, arts or athletics.

GETTING IN THE GROOVE

EDITORIAL BOARD

More than ‘just words’

ILLUSTRATION BY EMILY TATUM | IDS

Should felons vote?

It’s time to confront the issue of felony disenfranchisement It’s an accepted fact that United States voter turnout is low. Most Americans attribute this to sheer laziness.

What if we told you that one in every 40 American adults can’t vote this coming November? Immediately, the narrative changes.

The U.S. has a long history of denying felons the right to vote, even long after their convictions.

According to Bernard Fraga, a professor for IU’s Department of Political Science, many individuals don’t realize felon disenfranchisement laws have a deeply racist history.

These laws began in the South and were put in place in the late 1800s because the criminal justice system disproportionately incarcerated African Americans. Lawmakers used this technique to exclude African Americans through constitutional means.

Today, ostensibly, these laws still exist for practical reasons — a large contingent of Americans agree people who commit serious crimes should not be al-

lowed to vote.

Although this sentiment is by no means unreasonable, what constitutes a felony varies between states, diminishing any clear continuity of when, how and if convicted individuals will ever get back to the ballot box.

“In a state like Georgia, if you grow a certain amount of marijuana, it means you’re a drug dealer, it means you’re a felon, and it means you lose your right to vote forever,” Fraga said. “In the state of Colorado or Washington, it means you’re a successful businessperson.”

In Indiana, a drug offense could very likely result in a felony and subsequently, disenfranchisement.

The Editorial Board fears because of the nature of these laws, it creates too much wiggle room for bizarre disparities to occur like the example above.

For Florida, felon disenfranchisement laws have a lifetime ban on voting. Ten percent of adult Floridians cannot vote — in a swing

state nonetheless.

That being said, Fraga made it clear that if these laws were to be absent, they probably would not impact the election outcome. This is because studies suggest many of these disenfranchised individuals are unlikely to vote to begin with due to socioeconomics.

Instead, it would completely alter election discourse.

As we currently plummet through the downward spiral of tweet storms, Kenneth Bone memes and Donald Trump sniffing videos, it might be difficult to recall the actual content of the two presidential debates we’ve witnessed so far.

When evaluating what the candidates are talking about, rhetoric discussing felonies and improving the criminal justice system is largely absent.

This is quite obviously due to the nature of politics — if one wants to be elected by voters, why appeal to those who can’t vote?

“The issues of a large portion of the population

are not addressed because they can’t vote. Theoretically, the president represents all of the people, not just the citizens, not just the voters, not just the people from his or her own party,” Fraga said.

Perhaps, in an ideal world, the candidates would spend an equal amount of time addressing each part of the populace.

And in that world, perhaps felons, once they’ve finished doing their time and are fully integrated into society, would be allowed to register to vote just like any American.

But, alas, they are not, and the tricky history of felon disenfranchisement still looms around these laws today.

Fraga said it best, “It’s one thing to say that someone who’s in jail or incarcerated shouldn’t be allowed to vote, but it’s another thing to say that you can’t vote even after you’ve served your time and you’re fully integrated into society.”

Essentially, it’s an unnecessary slap in the face.

Sexual assault isn’t just a women’s issue I don’t believe that anything I can say that has not been said about Donald Trump’s video.

I don’t think that there is a way to say how angry I was.

Some of my anger is related to all of the politicians that denounced the GOP nominee. Great, they denounced him, and I think that it should have occurred a lot sooner, but one thing that I took away from this is that my worth is apparently tied to how I relate to the men in my life.

Almost every politician mentioned they have a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter or any female relative in the book that should be

“revered and cherished.”

While I appreciate the sentiment, I don’t think having a relation to a man should be necessary for people to finally denounce a statement that is so overtly sexually aggressive.

First, I want to clarify that sexual assault is not a women’s issue.

While women are more likely to be sexually assaulted, men are affected by sexual assault and oftentimes are more likely to not report their actions due to shame.

When any politician, speechwriter, person says that they cannot accept sexual assault because of their female relationships, what

are they saying about male relationships? What about having sons? Or what about just knowing that people undergo sexual assault?

Most of my friends have had a personal story about sexual harassment or sexual assault. That includes both men and women.

By solely mentioning sexual assault as it relates to female relatives, we are diminishing all of the the stories of silent survivors, whether male or female.

While my concern for all survivors is one of my major problems with the response to Trump’s comments, that’s not even my biggest problem.

It’s the fact that he consistently talks about women in relation to men.

“I have the best words.”

Throughout the entirety of his campaign, Donald Trump has bragged that he has the best of everything: advisers, policies, know-how and, apparently, words.

Cue our collective confusion, then, when, during the last presidential debate, he informed us that the 2005 recording of him boasting about using his celebrity status to sexually assault women is “just words, folks.”

Here’s a direct quote from the recording, in case you haven’t heard yet: “I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet.

Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”

But back to the main point here. This discrepancy leaves us with two different options: we must either take all of his words to be true or none of them at all.

Both leave us with a rather stark outlook for Trump.

If the first, well, that’s not good. It means that he is a rapist, a birther, an anti-vaxxer, a racist and a misogynist — in other words, everything that we should aspire not to be.

If the second, well, that’s not good, either. It means that Trump, a major party candidate for president of the United States, cannot be taken at his word — any of them, in fact.

Like I said, both are troubling. Frightening. Horrible.

Enough to make me want to lock myself in my room and stress-eat nothing but pints of Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked ice cream until the morning of Nov. 9.

When preparing to write my column this week, I almost wrote about something else.

Several other IDS columnists had already written about this latest scandal in Trump’s

scandal-ridden campaign, and I didn’t want to beat a dead horse.

But the election is less than a month away, and as easy as it would be to metaphorically lock myself in a Trump-less state of mind, bingeing on cartons of calorie-laden ice cream, I simply cannot do that. I can’t.

We cannot allow this to go the way of nearly every other narrative in the news cycle — that is, circulate for a few days, then make an appearance every once in a while as a talking point.

No, this revelation needs to be a watershed moment in the 2016 election. It needs to define the remainder of the election.

We owe it to our country and ourselves to ensure that no one forgets this, but most of all, we owe it to the future generations of our country.

Trump’s America is entirely unrecognizable to me: it is hateful and divisive, cruel and untrusting. It sees the worst in nearly everybody.

But Trump’s America is not yet our America. We can prevent it from becoming a reality by refusing to elect him on Nov. 8.

Now is the moment for us to define our country’s beliefs, values and hopes for the future. Or, if you want to put it in the terms of “Les Misérables,” “It is time for us all to decide who we are.”

Who we are is nowhere near what Trump says we are. And that’s not “just words” — that’s a fact. acgroove@indiana.edu

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

IU must do more to notify people of campus crime Another week, another crime that I did not receive an official crime alert for.

The first words out of my mouth are typically, “Where is the IU crime alert?”

I would like to clarify that I understand why we do not receive a crime alert for every crime that happens in Bloomington.

Not all crime takes place on campus, and IU Notify focuses on campus-specific incidents, as the concentrated student population lives on campus.

However, when the crimes involve sexual assaults, breakins or robberies that affect students, we should be receiving alerts.

During my freshman and sophomore years, I remember receiving many crime alerts ranging from silly incidents like the Blow Dart Bandit to missing students. This is not quite the case this school year.

During Welcome Week, we received an alert for an attempted robbery at the Village Pantry, but I can’t recall many other crime alerts since then, despite the high crime activity so far this year.

For example, a masked man broke into female students’ apartments in a general area and robbed them and/or raped them — for which we received no alerts.

Just because some of these incidents are not happening on campus, it does not mean that they are no longer affecting students.

Students come and go from campus every day and travel through areas of heavy crime, but they may not know if there are ongoing incidents because of the lack of notifications.

The IU and Bloomington Police Departments are not conjoined, which I realize. I also realize that people report different crimes to different police departments.

Whoever runs the notification system should communicate with both of the departments to see if anything has been reported that affects students.

Of course, before I came to rant and rave about my feelings about lack of notifications, I looked into other channels that report crime

Miranda Garbaciak is a junior in English.

and emergency situations in Bloomington.

I discovered that IU has at least two websites that report criminal activities and other emergencies around campus and the immediate area.

IUPD has a daily crime log that is posted every day on indiana.edu/~iupd/dailyLog. html. Here, you can find criminal activity around campus that occurred in the dorms or other campus buildings. The logs protect privacy of those involved. They only give the time of the crime, location and type of crime.

The other website I discovered revolves around emergency situations, online safety, and environmental safety.

The webpage is called “Protect IU.” There, you can report an offense, check registered sexual offenders and check the emergency status of IU. I learned that IU Notify and Crime Alert stem from the “Protect IU” webpage.

It’s important to me and many other students that we are notified about terrible crimes on campus, especially sexual assaults.

For some reason, sexual assaults are becoming more and more common. It’s impossible to assume every sexual assault will be reported. The stigma surrounding reporting sexual assault gets me heated enough to write a whole other column, but not this week.

IU should report any and all situations it is aware of. The grisly details do not need to be known. We don’t need to know the names of the assailant or the assaulted.

But I will never forget the fear in my best friend’s eyes when she learned there had been a sexual assault in her dorm and she was not notified.

Nor will I forget the feeling of knowing assaults have been happening on or around campus and IU has not done a single thing to alert us. mmgarbac@indiana.edu

Cornerback earns starting job as freshman

By Jordan Guskey jguskey@indiana.edu | @JordanGuskey

A’Shon Riggins said in January he planned to come to IU and start as a freshman.

The cornerback had just met with new defensive coordinator Tom Allen during his fifth visit to Bloomington, and although Allen’s replacement of Brian Knorr shocked him, he felt comfortable enough with the Hoosier program to confirm his commitment.

In order to start, however, he’d need to show Allen he deserved the chance to play.

“We’ll play freshmen,” Allen said. “If they prove to us that they have earned the right to play, then we’re going to play them.”

By IU’s fifth game against No. 2 Ohio State, Riggins had done his part. The freshman started at boundary corner after seeing action as a substitute in IU’s first four games, and did not disappoint.

The Hamilton High School product recorded his first career interception, which he nearly returned for a touchdown, and added three tackles to earn IU’s defensive MVP of the week award.

“Being from Ohio, it was a big honor to start this first game,” Riggins said. “Espe-

cially because I was coming home and got to show out in front of my team, in front of my hometown.”

Allen was impressed with how Riggins handled heading back to his home state for his first career start. He said that kind of homecoming usually goes one of two ways, either the kid rises up and uses the excitement to gain an edge and play well, or he struggles.

“For him to rise up against the talent they had at receiver is impressive,” Allen said.

“And just the toughness, he made tackles. He didn’t just cover.”

Riggins’ high school coach,

Chad Murphy, watched his former player pick off J.T. Barrett on ESPN and run the ball back to the Ohio State 13-yard line. A week earlier, in fact, Murphy and his wife came to Bloomington to watch Riggins and the Hoosiers knock off then-No. 17 Michigan State.

“He’s exactly what you want,” Murphy said. “You don’t want a kid who’s boastful or brags or those kinds of things. He’s just a very humble kid that literally, when he puts his mind to something, the sky’s the limit.”

Allen said that from day one Riggins always responded the right way when coaches

who feels like a big brother to Riggins, said the freshman has always been confident, dating back to high school when the hype surrounding Riggins was that he could play Division One basketball.

In Riggins’ first high school football game as a freshman, Oliver said, he recorded three interceptions.

“It’s not just a flash here and there, even today he had another interception and this time he went for a touchdown,” Oliver said after practice Tuesday. “I was like, ‘Why didn’t you take the one at Ohio State for a touchdown?’ You’re always seeing

got on him about what was expected during practice. He showed no outward frustration, looked coaches right in the eye and responded, “Yes, sir.”

Junior linebacker Marcus Oliver, who attended the same high school as Riggins, has always seen that maturity.

“When I was talking to my high school coach about him, way back, two years ago, he said he was a lot like me,” Oliver said. “He focuses on what he wants, and that’s what he works for.”

Riggins’ strong performance against the Buckeyes wasn’t a fluke either. Oliver,

improvement from A’Shon.”

Murphy said he believes Riggins will continue to improve quickly over the course of the next calendar year because when it comes time to work, he’s a worker.

On the way back from one of Riggins’ visits to IU, Murphy was attempting but failing to use the old-school cigarettelighter phone charger in the middle consul of his car because a penny was lodged in the hole the charger needed to plug into. Murphy spent 20 seconds while driving trying to dig it out, but decided to write it off as a done deal and reserved himself to the reality he wouldn’t be able to charge his phone.

Enter Riggins.

As Murphy drove, Riggins spent what Murphy said was about 20 minutes using whatever kind of tool in the glove box of the car to dislodge the penny.

Riggins kept messing with it, messing with it, messing with it, and finally got it out.

“I’d have just been with a dead phone for the next hour of the trip home, but he had his mind to it and the next thing I know I got my phone charged,” Murphy said. “Just a phenomenal kid, just a phenomenal kid.”

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Trumps comments spark a need for change in locker rooms We have to talk about locker rooms.

During Sunday’s TownHall-turned-Fight-Club match, Donald Trump was asked about the recently uncovered “Access Hollywood” tapes in which he suggested he was entitled to demean and degrade women because of his fame, including the infamous statement that he could “grab (women) by the pussy.”

Even with a defiant apology early in the week, Trump downplayed the importance of the statements declaring it was just “locker room talk.” Trump and his surrogates have exploited this response in an attempt to pass off the statements as just clubhouse talk and something insignificant.

Trump is wrong; he’s also right.

This is by no means an endorsement of the Republican nominee’s declarations. They were misogynistic, rude, demeaning and thoughtless. What Trump is correct about, however, is that this is the type of talk that occurs in locker rooms.

Throughout high school, I was a three-sport varsity athlete: cross country, basketball and tennis. I have seen my share of locker rooms. In my time in this purgatory between the classroom and sporting arena, I never heard anything as lewd and gratuitous as Trump’s remarks, some things were pretty close.

At a predominately white school, there were some derogatory comments made about race, including words I don’t think are fit to print in the Indiana Daily Student. Disparaging fellow classmates, oftentimes women, seemed the norm, and there was a culture of belittling and attacking that was of a cartoonish and at times ghastly nature.

What Trump said was definitively bad, yet it would pass in most locker rooms. This talk propagates a culture of chauvinism and machismo that needs to be addressed.

After Trump’s remarks, many athletes came out of the woodwork stating they

had never been in locker rooms with this type of culture and sentiment, but that seems hard to believe.

Ethan Sherwood Strauss, ESPN’s contributing basketball writer, tweeted his thoughts on the matter and how he had witnessed conversations with the same tone as Trump’s in person.

“Was looking for a way to convey how horrific locker room talk can get without coming close to defending DT,” Strauss wrote. “Like, I’ve heard far worse than the ‘grab ‘em’ line, awful as it is. And I’m the police. Can only imagine how it gets when I’m gone.”

Brushing his comments off as what happens in the clubhouse may be Trump’s best contribution to society this election season. It gives us a chance to scrutinize what really goes on in the “boys’ club” and start to look for a way to fix it. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31

If you look at the volleyball team’s starting lineup for the past three years, you will notice remarkable stability at the setter position.

But now, a key constant is missing.

Senior co-captain Megan Tallman split time in that role during her freshman year and has started ever since, missing only three matches entering this season. Prior to being rested against Evansville in August, the setter had appeared in 82 consecutive matches.

Just one assist shy of 3,500 for her career, the incredibly durable Tallman is now sidelined with a broken finger and will miss an undetermined period of time. She will be reevaluated Thursday.

“I think she’s devastated because she wants to help us win and she’s a captain,” IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said. “From her standpoint, you feel helpless. As a captain, she’s doing a great job of coaching up the team but it’s always hard when you’ve started almost your whole career.”

Since the rally scoring era began in the 1999-2000 season, only Laurie Gardner recorded more assists for IU than Tallman has to this point. Prior to the beginning of this era, only the serving team could record points.

The Hoosiers will surely miss the consistency that Tallman provides when in the lineup, as she averages 10.55 assists per set, which is good enough for seventh in the Big Ten. The senior has tallied 591 assists thus far in 2016.

Dunbar-Kruzan does not

believe losing a captain is any more costly than losing a regular player.

The Hoosier coach has even noticed Tallman has been more vocal in her absence than when she was healthy and on the court.

“At points in time at Iowa she was almost out on the floor,” Dunbar-Kruzan said.

“She has always been vocal but she has put it on her shoulders to help as much as she can. She is not sulking about it and I think that’s really important that she understands her role as a captain and what she has to do to help us right now.”

In a year where IU’s freshmen have continuously stepped up and contributed to the team’s success, freshman Victoria Brisack will have tough shoes to fill as she takes over as the team’s starting setter until Tallman returns.

Despite replacing a senior with a freshman in the starting lineup, Dunbar-

Kruzan does not anticipate a lapse in production at the position.

“It’s more important that other people step up than Tori [Brisack] does,” DunbarKruzan said. “We haven’t been doing our jobs lately.

Whether it’s Megan or Tori, the setting has been fine. It’s more important that the other players get back on track.”

During her two starts in Tallman’s absence this past weekend at now-No. 2 Nebraska and Iowa, Briscack notched 25 and 28 assists, respectively.

The freshman is aided in the experience front by her extra semester with the team. After graduating high school early, Brisack came to Bloomington to practice with the Hoosiers during spring semester last year.

“We recruited Tori so there would be no drop-off,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “She’s a great setter and I have total confidence in her. Like the Colts, it’s ‘Next Man Up.’”

Dye playing an important role for IU in her final season

By Juan Alvarado jdalvara@indiana.edu | @jdsports14

IU Coach Amanda Janney considers senior midfielder Morgan Dye to be the fastest player in the Big Ten conference.

Every time IU has to defend a penalty corner, Dye is there, side-by-side with IU’s defensive unit, ready to sprint as fast as she can to obstruct any shot opportunity opponent teams have.

Dye’s efforts have contributed to the Hoosiers becoming a compact team that does not allow many goals off

penalty corners.

“I try to just relax and think about kind of what we have been going over,” Dye said about the moments prior to defending penalty corners.

“What they could be doing, how to read the play and just go all out.”

In the last four games IU has defended 40 penalty corners and only allowed two goals off them. Both came against Miami in its 3-2 overtime defeat Oct. 2.

But it is not only her defensive game that makes her important in Janney’s lineup, as she also contributes on of-

fense.

Dye has registered five goals and three assists in 52 career games during her first three years in Bloomington and established herself as a fundamental player.

“We think Morgan is one of the fastest players in the nation,” IU Coach Amanda Janney said. “I think just her fitness and all the hard work she does in the summer to prepare shows in our gameplay and she just has that determination out there.”

Janney also said Dye forms part of the senior leadership that knows the importance

of each game and moment of the season. She said Dye adds that spark IU needs when generating offensive plays.

Dye is also one of the players on IU’s current roster who experienced first-hand the transition from former IU Coach Amy Robertson to Janney. Dye said the team’s adjusting cycle is complete and that now they have new team objectives.

“I think just going out on a higher note than last year,” Dye said. “I mean, last year was such a crucial season, a turnaround season for the program, but I just want prove

to everyone that that is not a fluke.”

The field is not the only place where Dye gives her all though. She was given the Academic All-Big Ten award as a sophomore and junior and also received the Jack D. Tichenor Award as a junior.

The Jack D. Tichenor Award is given by IU to the female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average.

Now in her final year, Dye has started in every match for the Hoosiers, netting two goals and tallying two assists so far this season. She said she believes the Hoosiers are

capable of not only doing well in the Big Ten tournament but also winning it.

Janney said Dye is completely capable of leading the team to become Big Ten Champions and demonstrates it against strong opponents in the Hoosier schedule.

“Morgan needs to stick to her game,” Janney said. “She does a great job to eliminate and give us numbers on the tack, she finds these opportunities to keep creating and creating those attacking opportunities, so she just needs to stick to her game plan and execute under high pressure.”

Postseason on the line as IU begins road trip

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

With four games remaining in Big Ten regular season play, IU holds its postseason destiny in its hands.

The Hoosiers currently sit ninth in the Big Ten standings with eight points from a 2-3-2 conference record. IU is two points adrift of Nebraska in eighth place, and only the top eight teams in the conference qualify for the season-ending Big Ten Women’s Soccer Tournament.

However, IU will carry momentum into an upcoming road stretch that will see the team play three consecutive games away from Bill Armstrong Stadium. Draws at home this past weekend against two ranked opponents, Penn State and Rutgers, gave IU a confidence boost ahead of an important match tonight at Ohio State.

The Buckeyes, 3-2-2 in Big Ten play, are sixth in the Big Ten standings. Since losing to Nebraska 3-0 on Sept. 23, Ohio State has been undefeated in its last four Big Ten matches, including wins over Iowa, Maryland and Purdue by a combined 11-1 score.

Senior forward Lindsay Agnew has powered the Buckeye offense, scoring nine goals and registering five assists, leading the team in both categories.

Of late though, it has been junior forward Sammy Edwards that has lifted Ohio State to its current spot in the Big Ten’s top eight. Edwards was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for her performances last weekend against Maryland and Purdue in which she recorded three goals and an assist.

“Indiana is meaning something different this year to people. We are a different team than we were,” L’Hommedieu said. “We as a group are a new group, and we’ve kind of adopted a mentality of forgetting whatever has happened in the past. In a good sense, we are naïve toward everything.”

IU’s growth and development this season has been on display. While L’Hommedieu has been the only Hoosier to be recognized with a Big Ten award this season.

He drives to class every day and parks on campus, so he has gotten his fair share of parking tickets. Ash said he currently has four unpaid parking tickets, and he does not plan to pay them.

“They don’t make you pay them,” Ash said.

If elected, Ash said he will advocate for progressive ideas — such as marijuana legalization — that will not get passed but will bring the issue to attention in the state.

Ash said he is most passionate about is campaign finance reform. The method in which campaigns are fi-

WEEKEND@IDSNEWS.COM

CLOWNING AROUND With all the recent clown hysteria, we decided to rank some of film and tv’s most tolerable to downright terrifying.

TOLERABLE

TERRIFYING

Chip Baskets, “Baskets” This show co-created by Zach Galifianakis, Louis C.K. and Jonathan Krisel tells the story of a failed professional clown in Paris who turns into a rodeo clown in California. Chip is okay in our book.

Krusty, “The Simpsons” This raging alcohol and severely depressed clown is known on the show to appear in the “Krusty the Clown Show.” While totally harmless, Krusty is the cartoon equivalent of a very, very sad clown.

Jared Leto as the Joker, “Suicide Squad” While not particularly scary in “Suicide Squad,” the preparation for this role for Leto was straight out of a nightmare. He would wander around stage in character and say cryptic things to his cast members. On top of that, he would send “presents” with live rats and snakes to people involved with the film.

Twisty, “American Horror Story” “American Horror Show: Freak Show” brought us a new icon in clown mania. Twisty was a failed clown that just wanted to entertain, and in his attempt to do so, would kidnap people to watch him perform. That scene where he takes of his prosthetic mouth to reveal a deformed face gives him a solid 7 out of 10 in terms of scare.

Toy clown, “Poltergeist” In this 1982 classic horror movie, the addition of this creepy clown plays into all of our childhood fears — the dark, evil toys and whatever is lurking beneath our beds.

Pennywise, “It” This much-feared and truly evil antagonist from Stephen King’s 1000-plus-page horror epic preys on children. It lurks in drainpipes, boiler rooms, locker rooms and more. There is no bargaining with this entity. Make sure you have tons of silver to fight it.

Creepy clown hysteria mimics horror movie If you thought the most insane thing to happen this year would be this out-of-whack election, then you might be right. But it turns out a recent, sporadic outbreak of clowns may come in as a close second.

All across the nation, there has been a sweep of random creepy clown sightings. Photos and videos began surfacing across the internet of these clowns, which have allegedly been spotted lurking outside people’s homes and in the woods.

However, some of the encounters have supposedly been more sinister.

Some of the clowns have tried luring children into the woods with money, stalking people, coming up to people’s cars and even going so far to chase people with knives and machetes.

That’s it. Now we are all truly caught up in a real-life horror movie, and believe me, it’s not a good one. This whole thing feels like some twisted blend of “Friday the 13th” and “Killer Klowns from Outer Space.”

I guess we can’t be too surprised.

It only makes sense that after we elected two jesters to be our presidential nominees, someone would release a plague of red-nosed, always-grinning monstrosities upon us all.

Beginning at the end of August in the East Coast, the massive clown scare lurked its way across the rest of the country in only a matter of a couple of weeks. Now, just about every state in the country has had its own clown sighting. Rightfully so, several people are terrified to walk alone at night.

While coulrophobia, the fear of clowns, has been around for centuries and is now considered one of the most common phobias in the world.

The embers of fear for clowns have only been fanned by frightening portrayals of them in popular horror films like “It” and “Poltergeist.”

In recent years, the fear has only become more widespread through the media. One of the most memorable villains in “American Horror Story” is Twisty, a heavily disfigured ex-circus performer who kidnaps children and vainly attempts to entertain them.

Of course, we also can’t forget

the Clown Prince of Crime himself, the Joker. This popular “Batman” character has ranged from eerie to sadistic to terrifying through memorable performances from Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill, Heath Ledger and most recently Jared Leto.

Killer clown movies have become so popular that they practically branded their own subgenre in horror, creating B-horror classics like “Clownhouse,” “Gacy” and “100 Tears.” They have also made appearances in popular movies like “The Devil’s Rejects” and “Zombieland.”

But, of course, everyone is slowly growing tired of this clown craze. It’s one thing to try to scare someone and another to attempt actual harm.

Even Stephen King, writer of “It,” is annoyed by the whole insanity.

“Hey, guys, time to cool the clown hysteria — most of em are good, cheer up the kiddies, make people laugh,” he tweeted.

That’s right. The man who made sure you would have nightmares for the rest of your life about killer clowns eating children from drainpipes is tired of this hoax.

Perhaps now he is having second thoughts on making the “It” remake, set for release next year.

He’s not wrong though. This hysteria has only done more harm than good for this Halloween season.

Harmless professional clowns, who were in no way trying to add to the national scare, have been targeted by hecklers and scared individuals.

On Saturday in Tuscon, Arizona, more than 100 professional clowns are expected to show up to a “Clown Lives Matter” rally taking place in the city. The event is being held to bring awareness that not all clowns are killers.

In fact, for those of you who are still scared, remember that killer clowns in no shape or form actually exist. Real-life murderers would never be foolish enough to draw so much attention to themselves.

Just take a deep breath and keep telling yourself it is only a person. It is only a person.

‘The Girl on the Train’ falls off track ‘THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN’ Emily Blunt, Justin Theroux, Haley Bennett, Luke Evans, Rebeccca Ferguson, Edgar Ramirez

CWithin the past few years, the popularity of Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl” and its equally successful film adaptation has led to an overwhelming trend of female-centric thrillers.

Similar narratives have popped up in bookstores and movie theaters all over — a beautiful, seemingly innocent white girl goes missing, and as friends and family examine their lives for clues to her whereabouts, it turns out she isn’t nearly as innocent as she seems.

Pair this familiar story with an unreliable narrator and a sex scene or two, and you’ve got a money-making combination.

Paula Hawkins’ “The Girl on the Train” is the most popular “Gone Girl” imitator to date, and while the comparison to Flynn’s smash hit may seem overdone at this point, it’s genuinely unavoidable.

Obvious similarities in plot aside, Hawkins clearly strives to match Flynn’s sharp, ugly-pretty writing style and efficient twists (anyone who has ever read Flynn’s debut, “Sharp Objects,” should understand exactly how ugly-pretty her writing can be.)

David Fincher took Flynn’s novel and spun it into a haunting, meticulously crafted thriller that enticed and disturbed audiences. In someone else’s less-skilled hands, “Gone Girl” could have been relegated to a trashy, oneoff whodunit, despite the quality of Flynn’s original source material.

While “Gone Girl” managed to avoid this fate, “The Girl on the Train” was not so lucky.

Thanks to an array of book-to-screen changes

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

(moving the setting from London to New York) some odd casting choices (“overweight alcoholic” and Emily Blunt don’t exactly go hand in hand), and an unfortunate choice of director (did the guy from “The Help” seem like the most appropriate choice?), the film adaptation of Hawkins’ novel had some hurdles to clear from day one.

The film follows depressed alcoholic Rachel Watson, played by Blunt, as she wastes her days away guzzling vodka out of a water bottle and riding the train back and forth to New York.

Gazing out the window, she has developed an obsession with one particular house seated next to the tracks, where she concocts a fantasy life for the beautiful blonde and her husband who live there.

n!

When Megan Hippwell — the young woman in Rachel’s fantasy — goes missing, Rachel is pulled back to reality in a big way.

She begins to work her way into the lives of the couple, all the while avoiding pieces of her former life that may actually be connected to Megan’s disappearance.

“The Girl on the Train” boasts a strong cast, which may have contributed to early optimism for its success.

On paper, the lineup is promising. “The Leftovers” star Justin Theroux plays Rachel’s ex-husband; striking newcomer Haley Bennett plays Megan; “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation” standout Rebecca Ferguson plays Rachel’s icy romantic rival Anna; and recent leadingman-of-choice Luke Evans plays Megan’s controlling husband Scott.

Add Blunt in the lead role, and it seemed like a recipe for success.

Or not.

A sluggish script, dull editing and some strange choices by director Tate Taylor somehow manage to bring out the worst in this cast.

Theroux and Ferguson can’t seem to decide whether their characters are good or bad, and the inconsistency does nothing to help the film’s attempted plot twists.

Evans and Bennett are certainly eye-catching, but that may have more to do with their looks than with their actual acting.

Edgar Ramirez is fine in his small role as therapist Kamal Abdic, but it was hard to get over the realization that Hollywood yet again decided that one non-white actor is apparently just as good as

another.

Kamal Abdic is definitely not a Latino name, but apparently the producers couldn’t be bothered to either change the name to something that actually makes sense with their casting choice, or to actually cast someone ethnically appropriate.

Oh Hollywood, never change. (No, actually, please change. Change soon.)

Blunt is the clear standout of the film, but even she struggles with the lifeless writing provided to her.

She does her best.

Blunt’s Rachel is stripped bare before the camera — a broken, emotionally vulnerable woman who can’t help but obsess over her past happiness. It’s certainly an impressive performance, but it isn’t enough to save the film.

Despite being marketed

as an intense thriller, “The Girl on the Train” feels boring more often than not.

Some of the twists are obvious from the very beginning, and the ones that aren’t may not make much sense to non-book readers.

Hawkins’ novel is certainly imperfect, but instead of fixing these flaws in his film adaptation, Taylor manages to add several of his own.

“The Girl on the Train” may have been doomed from the beginning by unflattering comparisons to the far-superior “Gone Girl,” but it had the opportunity to find success in its own right.

Unfortunately, Hawkins’ novel seems to have fallen off the tracks somewhere on the way to the big screen.

New Green Day is angry ‘REVOLUTION RADIO’ Green Day

A For the past 22 years, mainstream rock ‘n’ roll has been under the reign of punk rock icons Green Day, carrying the revolutionary torch Kurt Cobain left behind from his brief career.

Of course, “American Idiot” is probably one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded, and other releases like “Dookie,” “Nimrod” and “21st Century Breakdown” solidify the group as one of the best rock groups in recent years.

Their previous three attempts — absurdly titled “¡Uno!,” “¡Dos!” and “¡Tré!” — did nothing but disappoint us by being the worst albums Green Day ever wrote.

However, considering the records were recorded during the worst of singer Billie Joe Armstrong’s drug use, I suppose it can be excused.

But if you still need reconciliation for Armstrong’s pill-popping and booze-binginginduced nonsense present on the aforementioned records, then you may find sanctuary in Green Day’s latest LP “Revolution Radio.”

Their first record in four years, “Revolution Radio” is protesting, savage, thunderclap-booming with sound and fury and reflecting the harrowingly dismal state of the world today.

It’s what every punk rock album should try to accomplish.

This record does for the presidential race today and all the racial bigotry and domestic terrorism surrounding it that “American Idiot” did for the Bush administration back in 2004.

“Bang Bang,” the first single from this record, takes a route similar to Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” by singing lyrics through the perspective of a mass shooter.

The narrator of the song

wants to “be a celebrity martyr” and “be like the soldiers on screen” through his inhumane actions.

With almost 400 shootings in the U.S. in 2016 alone, this is a disturbingly relevant topic to explore.

The band also explores social media, government oppression and police brutality in songs like “Troubled Times,” “Say Goodbye” and the title track.

However, just like every great Green Day record, there is an equally personal side to the lyrics on “Revolutionary Radio.”

“My name is Billie, and I’m freaking out,” Armstrong sings at the beginning of “Forever Now,” one of several songs on the LP that explores the singer’s drug abuse.

These songs, which also include “Outlaws” and “Somewhere Now,” also delve into the existential crisis Armstrong has had within himself.

He questions whether or not sobriety has deprived him of his rockstar status and has reduced him to some boring old man.

But the album does have its uplifting moments.

“Youngblood” is probably the cutest love ballad ever written by Green Day and works as a beautiful love letter to Armstrong’s 22-year marriage with Adrienne Armstrong.

Without a doubt, Green Day’s most unified song on this new record, and probably Armstrong’s most personal song since “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” is “Still Breathing,” a song that explores Armstrong’s struggles with death, heartbreak and drug abuse.

But despite all these obstacles, he has managed to survive and carry on with his life.

There are times in all our lives — especially during cataclysmic, ambiguous years like this — where life seems hopeless.

Goals are only dreams and the end feels closer than the future.

But here we are, and still we breathe.

OPENING THIS WEEKEND! THEATER 16/17

Vinyl records have quickly become a staple in many people’s lives again, and if they are a staple in yours, Bloomington is the place to be.

In the digital age, it’s easy to forget about the large waxy discs that used to carry the music we still enjoy listening to today.

And if you’re a classic rock fan like me, there is a distinct sound to enjoy while listening to a vinyl record.

There is warmth in the sound compared to the cold, hard sound on

digitized tracks, which seems to be why people are reverting back to how it was intended to be heard with vinyl on a turntable.

I was gifted my dad’s vinyl record collection my sophomore year of high school.

While pouring over his 600 records in pristine condition, admiring how he kept so many and took such great care of them, I quickly became consumed with their history, the artwork and the warm sound they produced.

I had to have more.

I documented what we had and found the gaps with what we didn’t.

I took rock history classes once I got to IU, making a note of all the obscure vinyls we were missing from the 1960s and 1970s and making it my mission to expand the collection.

Then I discovered Tracks and Landlocked Music.

Both are places where you can go to pour through stacks and racks of vinyl records, discovering hidden gems of the past while conversing with gems of the

present.

If vinyl records are something you are attracted to, both stores are great places.

Tracks is located on Kirkwood Avenue while Landlocked Music is right on North Walnut Street.

When you’re downtown or just looking for something to do, you’ll be able to spend hours brushing off the dust on the classics.

Multicolored spotlights pulsed and danced to the beat of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” Wednesday afternoon at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater as the staff demonstrated their recently installed $260,000 worth of equipment.

In late 2014, the tax increment financing fund that had previously been used for maintenance of the theater was re-interpreted to no longer apply to the BuskirkChumley, executive director Danielle McClelland said.

In 2015, however, McClelland said the TIFs were reactivated. The theater received $260,000 from the downtown TIF District consolidation and bond initiative to update and expand its use to better serve Bloomington residents.

“All of this equipment that we have installed over the last year is for you and your use in this space, and its design and implementation is so that we can have larger capacity in our community and in this theater,” McClelland said. “We were very nervous that we would not be able to continue the growth of this space, and we are thrilled that we were able to do so.”

McClelland said the installation of the new equipment included swapping one third of the standard theater lights in the building for LEDs, allowing for computer-controlled moving lights and improved color onstage for approximately one third of the previous energy usage. LED

New equipment at local theater to encourage creativity

SIMIN ZHANG | IDS

Danielle McClelland, director of Buskirk-Chumley Theater, spoke in front of media representatives about the installation of $260,000 worth of equipment Wednesday evening.

lights can change color themselves, compared to the previous set-up in which multiple lights with different color gels were used for every part of the stage.

The theater also completely revised its sound system, McClelland said. The old speaker stacks, which were over 20-years-old and took up precious stage space, were replaced with hanging line array

speakers, technical director David Desante said.

“With our previous system, you’d have this drop-out of sound,” Desante said. “It wouldn’t sound as crisp or you’d lose the bottom end or it’s not as even, so now it’s a nice even field no matter what seat you’re sitting in.

Now there’s no bad seat in the house.”

The final component of

the new technology is a brand new cinema system, one of which the Buskirk-Chumley has never had to call its own, McClelland said. After years of borrowing, first from IU and then from the First United Methodist Church, the theater has a 2K digital cinema projector, a digital cinema processor and multi-lens switcher. They also bought a perforated update from their

more than 15-year-old current screen for brighter visuals and clearer sound.

Despite all of the improved equipment, the rental price of the theater will not go up, McClelland said. The theater provides an arts startup program, which funds several projects annually and has a movie partner program, which allows anyone to rent the theater for a film event on

Sundays for only the cost of labor and projection equipment without the usual rental fee. These and other programs allow the public to benefit from the improved technology without an extra financial burden, McClelland said.

“It’s our effort to help new organizations and new events go from dream to conception to execution here at the theater,” McClelland said.

As the 2016 election nears its end Nov. 8, it seems only natural that both the Democratic and Republican candidacies become more passionate. With that has come some of the strangest celebrity endorsements ever seen in any election.

While celebrity endorse-

one popular way to promote candidates. Frank Sinatra rerecorded his hit song “High Hopes” for John F. Kennedy’s 1960 campaign, and the classic show-tune “Hello, Dolly!” was remade into “Hello, Lyndon!” by Carol Channing for Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1964 campaign.

However, these are all trivial compared to the insane number and style of endorsements pledged during this election.

Never before has the phrase “everyone likes a circus” ever been more epitomized. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the ring-

leaders, and their celebrity supporters are the weird performance acts.

Clinton has had strong female supporters even before her first presidential campaign in 2008. Not only has Amy Poehler done the best Clinton impersonation ever on “Saturday Night Live,” but

on her strong demeanor, plus the fact that she would be the first female president. A focus on the issues and commonground to take down Trump has brought forth other supporters as well.

Katy Perry, a longtime supporter of Clinton, tweeted in June of 2014 that she would be willing to write a campaign song for the Democratic candidate. Perry’s song “Rise,” a rendition of her hit “Roar,” was performed at this year’s Democratic National Convention.

Those aren’t even the strange parts. In September, Funny or Die released a sketch of Perry arriving to the polls completely naked, ready to vote for Clinton but instead arrested by police.

She isn’t the only female celebrity getting naked for Clinton either. Shortly after, Madonna posted a nude selfie on Instagram with the caption, “I’m voting naked with Katy Perry!! Vote for Hillary.

She’s the best we got!”

By far the best endorsement for Clinton, however, was in the special “Will & Grace” reunion episode. In the 10-minute episode, meant to coincide with the first presidential debate, Will and Grace explain their reasoning for supporting Clinton, while their friend Karen comically supports Trump.

How many TV shows, on air or otherwise, would be willing to dedicate an episode to the support of a candidate? That’s impressive campaigning.

But don’t worry, Trump has an equal number of wacky endorsers.

Amy Poehler arrives at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles in September. Poehler is one of several celebrities who have taken a public stance in the upcoming presidential election.

Sarah Palin — the closest Washington, D.C. ever got to its own Paris Hilton — publicly endorsed Trump in a long, convoluted speech in January.

“He is from the private sector, not a politician,” Palin said in her speech. “Can I get a ‘Hallelujah?’”

What? Even Trump at one point looked like she was too crazy for him.

There was seriously a moment where two former World Wrestling Entertainment wrestlers, Hulk Hogan and Jesse “The Body” Ventura, were about to fight each other to be Trump’s running mate.

While the center of the second presidential debate was supposed to be the candidates’ responses to crowd questions, the interest of the night on social media turned to Melania Trump’s attire.

Last week, an audio release revealed Donald Trump’s 2005 comment that when encountering women, he could, “Grab them by the pussy.” This week, a peculiar outfit choice revealed Melania’s own familiarity with her husband’s language by wearing a Gucci “pussybow” blouse, a shirt with a high neckline and bow tied around the neck.

News outlets and Twitter users immediately analyzed the anomaly, but Kate Rowold, IU apparel design professor and fashion historian, said she doesn’t think there is much to theorize.

“I would just call it a standing collar with an extension to make a soft bow around the neck.”

Even though Gucci’s own name for the shirt does include the word “pussy-bow,” Rowold said the historical design of the shirt is not usually referenced to as a “pussybow” blouse or style. Rowold said the neckline dates back hundreds of years when it was first created to resemble the origins of a man’s ascot.

Rowold said she believes the worst that Melania did Sunday evening was wear a shade of pink that might have been a tad too shocking for someone who didn’t even open her mouth.

ald Trump made in 2005,” Rowold said.

Rowold’s fellow IU associate professor of design and merchandising, Heather Akou, said she thinks there is an equally likely chance there was some intention behind Melania’s outfit selection.

“Politicians around the world, not just in the United States, have a long history of using dress to make symbolic statements,” Akou said.

“Some good examples are Madeline Bright during her time as Secretary of Defense, Mahatma Gandhi and Yasser Arafat.”

While any theory of Melania’s attire is difficult to confirm without a campaignendorsed statement, Rowold said perhaps there are bigger problems to discuss than the name of a blouse.

“Sadly there was very little discussion of the issues, and it’s just an unnecessary attention paid to superficial issues,” Rowold said. “As a fashion historian, I would not give it any attention at all.”

W | PASTERNACK ON THE PAST Once a week, Jesse Pasternack reviews a film made before 1980, hoping to expose readers to classics they might not normally watch.

‘Psycho’ still thrills 56 years later “Psycho” retains most of its power to scare after 56 years.

Its great cinematography and exceptionally creepy score make it a technical masterpiece that’s fascinating to analyze. Its influence on modern horror films makes it an important link in cinema history, and it is still fun to watch.

This movie starts with Marion Crane stealing $40,000 from her employer.

She drives to California to meet up with her boyfriend, but first stops at the Bates Motel on a rainy night. It’s there that she takes one of cinema’s most infamous showers.

The shower sequence is often cited as one of the scariest and best edited sequences in film history.

It is, but there are plenty of other sequences in “Psycho” that maintain their scaring power.

My favorite is the one where a police detective makes the unfortunate decision to enter the house where Bates lives with his mother. The shot of that detective falling down stairs will haunt you for a day or two.

The frightening nature of this film is enhanced by its score. It consists solely of strings and creates a timelessly creepy feel.

The shower scene, in particular, makes great use of screeching violins. This

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

music will make you feel like you’re in the classiest of nightmares.

The director of this film, Alfred Hitchcock, gives it an unforgettable visual style. He uses a wide variety of camera techniques to heighten the emotions his movie creates. Long tracking shots that are done in a

single take exist comfortably alongside sequences filled with many quick cuts. This stylistic eclecticism gives you the feeling that “Psycho” is continually reinventing itself, which makes it harder to figure out its mysteries.

One of the most memorable things about this movie is Anthony Perkins’s

performance as the motel manager Norman Bates.

Perkins balances a mixture of carefully calibrated tics and a sympathetic earnestness that makes his character intriguingly complex. It makes sense that his strong work has made Bates one of the more famous characters in

American film history.

The other performances in this film are mostly excellent. Janet Leigh does a great job at getting you invested in her performance as Crane. Vera Miles brings a nice urgency to her performance as Crane’s sister.

“Psycho” influenced

many slasher films, such as “Halloween” and “Scream.”

The excellent camerawork and sinister score keep it memorable and frightening.

It remains an essential film to watch around Halloween.

W | JOURNALMANIA

Celebrating 10 years since CBGB’s closing Once upon a time, punk meant something to the world. It wasn’t a fashion trend or an over-glorified music festival or any of that commercial dribble.

It meant you fought like Pancho Villa and wrote like Voltaire.

Your parents hated it, and boy, did you love it. You were a rebel, through and through.

But for hundreds of years, there seemed to be no concrete moral center or heart to the subculture. It was scattered throughout the world among what appeared to be only a handful of people.

There was no clear way to identify a punk, and their involvement with art was minimal at best.

That was until 1973.

On the Bowery of New

York City, 42-year old Hilly Kristal founded a small club called CBGB and OMFUG. This Saturday will be the 10th anniversary of the closing of CBGB, and with a plethora of pop punk bands on the rise since then, you can truly feel the effect it had on the music world.

The letters of CBGB and OMFUG stand for “Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Other Music For Uplifting Gormandizers.”

What’s a gormandizer, you may ask? To put it simply, a gormandizer is an insatiable eater of, in the case of CBGB, music.

And that’s what the frequent attendees of the club did.

They gorged on that music like it was better than the

most expensive cuisine a white-collared stockbroker could buy in Manhattan.

Kristal never did have many CBGB acts play at the venue, but it was the OMFUG bands that gave the club its legacy.

Punk’s very own mecca was finally realized.

There it was like some sort of world-destroying explosion. It was like when God said, “Let there be light,” in The Bible or when Rob Tyner of MC5 screamed, “Kick out the jams, motherfuckers.”

Suddenly, there was this colossal explosion of punks from around the world to celebrate their music.

What the Summer of Love gave to the hippies in 1969 was equally given by CBGB to

the punks in the mid-’70s.

Just about every prominent punk rock and new wave group of the 1970s can attribute their popularity to their performances at CBGB. The Ramones, Blondie, The Police, Talking Heads, Television, Patti Smith, The Misfits, Joan Jett, et cetera.

Maybe you’ve heard of them.

In the 1980s, CBGB developed a more underground, hardcore reputation with groups like Agnostic Front, Sick of It All and Youth of Today becoming associated with the style of the club.

By the 1990s, the club regained its popularity when hard rock and punk once again entered the mainstream

via grunge. Bands like Green Day, Guns ‘N Roses and Korn were suddenly headlining shows.

In its final six years, things really began to tone down with the club and became more prominent as a historical landmark like the Bowery’s very own Apollo Theater.

After a long and overly complex rent dispute, the club finally closed down in 2006.

Kristal died from lung cancer only 10 months after, as if CBGB was his only true lifeline connecting him to the world.

Since then, the legendary venue has become a menswear clothing store.

Even as a lover of fashion, that makes me cringe.

But given that the entirety of pop punk — which I don’t hate, beside its misleading name — is based more on a predetermined look and attitude, it makes sense.

Fortunately, there is still the annual CBGB Music and Film Festival, which is to this day the largest music festival held in New York City.

The punk movement isn’t technically dead, but as Dead Kennedys’ singer Jello Biafra said, perhaps it should die so it can be resurrected again.

Like a phoenix, this movement may rise from the ashes into its former glory.

2016 certainly doesn’t lack the anarchist climate.
