IDS Former professor Mumford remembered as friend, mentor By Kaitlin Edquist kedquist@iu.edu | @kaitlinedquist
Former IU faculty member James “Doc” Mumford, who directed the African American Choral Ensemble and the IU Soul Revue for more than 20 years, died April 12 of complications due to an extended illness. He was 82. Mumford served as vocal coach and later as director of the IU Soul Revue and as director of the African American Choral Ensemble during his 30 years working with IU’s African American Arts Institute. The two singing groups are offered as classes through IU’s Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies. Mumford has one biological daughter and thousands of other children – his former students. “He knew us by name,” Virginia Githiri, one of his former students, said. “He loved us all, and we knew it.”
Even after Mumford retired, he still attended the choir’s performances and encouraged the students, current ensemble director Raymond Wise said. “He was very much a support for the choir,” Wise said. “Kind of like a father, godfather, stepfather, uncle, extended family member, whatever you want to call it.” Mumford received many awards during his time at IU, including the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs Distinguished Inclusive Excellence Award, the Faculty Colloquium on Excellence in Teaching Award, the Groups Scholars Program Lifetime Achievement Award and the Bloomington Martin Luther King, Jr. Legacy Award. But Charles Sykes, executive director of the African American Arts Institute, said Mumford’s true success came from helping students realize their potential. SEE MUMFORD, PAGE 5

IU swept in three game series 0-5 By Jared Kelly jaakelly@iu.edu | @Jared_Kelly7
It was the Kayla Konwent show all weekend long at the Goodman Softball Complex as IU traveled north for a crucial three-game set against Wisconsin. IU had to do two things in order to grab a series victory: neutralize Wisconsin junior Kayla Konwent and take advantage of run-scoring opportunities. The Hoosiers failed to do either of those with consistency. Friday evening’s game began horribly for IU, with a leadoff home run from Konwent that put Wisconsin on the board immediately. The Badgers tacked on three more runs in the middle innings, courtesy of run-scoring doubles from Jordan Little and Stephanie Lombardo. A stolen base by sophomore Taylor Lambert in the third inning gave IU a program-record 121 stolen bases, topping its previous mark of 120 steals in 1987. The Hoosiers’ offense put runners in scoring position in every inning except the first and seventh, but they were unable to take advantage at any point and stranded seven runners on the whole. After another Badger scored late in the sixth inning, junior Kaitlyn Menz put the final touches on her complete game shutout and a 5-0 victory over IU. Tough shadows and a blinding sun set the stage for a sloppy game two that included five fielding errors and multiple base running blunders from both teams. Wisconsin got the scoring started in the third inning with a two-run homer by Lombardo. IU responded with sophomore Maddie Westmoreland’s sixth home run of the season – a solo shot in the fourth inning – and a botched routine flyball from Wisconsin that allowed two more runs to score in the sixth inning. The Hoosiers were six outs away from a win, but senior Tara Trainer walked in the tying run with the bases loaded, sending the game into an extra innings marathon. Neither team scored again until the bottom of the 13th inning when sophomore Lauren Foster hit a walkoff single that gave Wisconsin a 4-3 win and secured a series victory. SEE SOFTBALL, PAGE 5

‘Thank God we are here’ Bloomington clinic provides care to immigrant community By Christine Stephenson cistephe@iu.edu | @cistephenson23
One night when José was eight years old, he woke up nauseated and feverish. He was a kid, though – kids get sick all the time, his mother thought. She decided they would wait it out. Within a day or so, his legs grew weak and wobbly, and the vomiting didn’t stop. But their family had just moved from Mexico City two years earlier, so they didn’t have health insurance yet and couldn’t afford to pay for much without it. So Maria López took her son to the one place she knew they could get care for free. She has chosen to identify her and her son by their middle names to protect their identities. When they arrived at Volun-
teers in Medicine, a clinic located right next to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, staff members helped them get into contact with a pediatric doctor at Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health. Eventually José was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, a rare infection caused by a tick bite. If Maria had decided to wait it out much longer, José could have ended up with brain damage or died. “I didn’t know what was going on,” she said. “They really helped me to save my son’s life.” This was about 12 years ago, but Volunteers in Medicine is still the SEE VIM, PAGE 6
Culture Shock Festival draws a crowd at IMU By Abby Malala abbridge@iu.edu | @abbymalala
The Indiana Memorial Union Starbucks was closed Saturday afternoon. But that didn’t stop IU students from flocking to the IMU to study for finals week, nor did the aerial dancing, voguing and loud music in Alumni Hall. The 33rd annual Culture Shock Festival, run by local student radio station WIUX, took place in Alumni Hall on Saturday. Despite the rainy weather and the festival’s subsequent move indoors, many attended the day of art, music and culture. Vendors in an adjacent room included booths from the children’s science museum Wonderlab where attendees could experiment with the science of sound, bubble tea shop Bapu Teahouse and a local henna tattoo artist. Food trucks available to festival-goers along Seventh Street
included The Big Cheeze, Seasons in Bloom and La Poblana Taco Truck. Crowds started to gather at the IMU at 11 a.m., but doors didn’t open until 1 p.m. The performances started at 1:15 p.m. with a set by ktfaithful, the stage name for Bloomington singer-songwriter and IU junior Katie Faith O’Neill. “It was really natural,” she said. “Seeing my friends made it feel better.” Next, DJ MADDØG took to the turntables in front of the stage, wearing rainbow platform boots and a neon orange crop top while waving her long ponytail. She spun fast-paced house and pop remixes as voguers drew in the crowd. Later, during psychedelic rock band Boa’s set, the guitarist leaped onto the speaker scaffolding to play a solo. “We’re Boa,” bassist Shane Spader said at the start of the set.

IU to reconstruct ancient giant sloth fossil By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08
A
t 10 to 12 feet standing up and with sharp claws to dig up plants, the sloth informally called Megajeff is making a comeback at least 10,000 years after extinction. The IU Megalonyx jeffersonii fossil was one they got rid of in what officials called “the great house cleaning.” Only five bones were salvaged. Now, the IU Indiana Geological and Water Survey is recreating the two-toed sloth’s relative. IU threw out many of its fossil collections to make room for students after a spike in enrollment in the 1940s, Polly Root Sturgeon, Indiana Geological and Water Survey outreach coordinator said. “One of the goals of our project is to make sure that we take better care of our collections,” Sturgeon said. It’s considered to be the most complete fossil of the species even today, Sturgeon said. The paleontologist who named Megajeff did so to honor Thomas Jefferson, who discovered the genus, IGWS assistant director for information services Gary Motz said. The reconstruction process started earlier this year, according to an IU press release. Motz said the five original pieces of Megajeff will be 3D-printed to create copies of the bones so the public can more easily interact with them and not break them. The other missing parts will be filled in by collections from other universities and museums, Motz said. By scanning the fossils and creating digital render-

ings, they can be printed out and cut using laser cutters. Finally, the entire fossil will be assembled using cardboard cutouts by pairing with the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design. Motz said the digital renderings will be published with additional information,and people can magnify the bone images. One such detail is a handwritten IU property tag etched into one of the bones. Motz said IU is pioneering these reconstruction and fabrication techniques, using computerized processes and laser cutters to create the cutout. “We’re pushing the envelope in a different sector for that blending of arts and sciences, especially in digital fabrication,” he said.
Motz said he wants the Megajeff recreation to look jarring, in order to drive home the fact that IU used to have the fossils. He said he wants the public to question why we don’t still have it. Sturgeon said David Dale Owen, Indiana’s first geologist, was told about the Megajeff fossil by a group of schoolboys and later added it to his collection in the 1800s. When Owen died, it was sold to IU in the late 19th century. Despite its importance to paleontology, the fossils were discarded sometime during the 1940s, Sturgeon said. One alumni letter said the bones were thrown out a second-story window of Owen Hall, she said. “The less you take care of your collections, the less importance they have,” Sturgeon said. “Part of our project is to
make sure that never happens again.” Sturgeon said five bones were salvaged from that cleanup and later placed in the Mathers Museum of World Cultures. However, as the museum expanded and focused more on culture, it gave away the bones to the Indiana State Museum, where they reside today. Motz said the species not only represents a history of the state but also the country. Motz said there was a record which talked about how the Megajeff almost didn’t come back to IU. A Philadelphia scientist asked to see the fossil and upon examining it told Owens the specimen wouldn’t be given back. Owens wrote back in a strongly worded letter that he would be in Philadelphia in two weeks to collect it. And he would bring it back. IU professor and paleontologist David Polly said the preservation of fossils is extremely important because they are the only direct evidence of past life. He said chemists can recreate experiments to test theories, but paleontologists only have one source to determine information: the fossil itself. “The story of the history of life really does belong to all of us,” Polly said. “Specimens like this particular one, like I said, are part of the history of the state.” Polly said IU and Indiana in general have been extremely important in the exploration and furthering the studies of geology and paleontology. Other important fossils have been found in the state as well. The first fossil of a Dire wolf, a creature made popular by TV shows such as "Game of Thrones," was found in Evansville, Indiana, in 1854, Polly said in an IGWS article.
Judge rules annexation lawsuit unconstitutional By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang
A judge ruled Thursday that the Indiana legislature's last minute amendment to a 2017 bill to stop Bloomington’s proposed annexations of land was unconstitutional, according to court documents. The state has until May 20 to make an appeal. The lawsuit, which has
been going on for nearly two years, was filed after state legislators added a clause to the state budget bill in April 2017 that halted municipal annexations in the state for five years. Bloomington was the only city affected by the clause. Judge Frank Nardi of Monroe Circuit Court 6 ruled that because the clause halting annexation
had nothing to do with the budget bill and only affected Bloomington, the legislation was unconstitutional. The city began annexation efforts in February 2017 to move 10,000 acres within city limits. Mayor John Hamilton has repeatedly said this was a standard choice for a city looking to grow. The city planned for the annexation to be voted on
by late June 2017 after several public outreach meetings and hearings. On April 21, 2017, the st ate legislature passed the amendment to the state budget bill that effectively stopped Bloomington — and all other Indiana cities — from annexing any land for five years. In May, the city filed a lawsuit against the state claiming the legislation tar-

geted Bloomington. The state defended the amendment, saying it was necessary because of Bloomington’s annexation efforts’ “urgency.” Nardi ruled against this defense, saying the city’s proposed plan was not abnormal in timing since the last annexation was in 2004. He also said the city built in adequate time and opportunities for residents to
voice their concerns. In a press release, Hamilton said that Thursday’s ruling underlined the importance of stopping special state legislation that singles out specific communities. “We are pleased that this ruling affirms the very deliberate, detailed and considerate approach we took in 2017 to expanding our City limits,” Hamilton said in the release.

17th mumps case confirmed By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang
The 17th case of the mumps was confirmed on IU-Bloomington’s campus Thursday, IU spokesman Chuck Carney said. The first mumps case on campus was confirmed Feb. 21. Carney said it is unknown whether the new case is affiliated with the fraternity that nine of the other cases are affiliated with. The fraternity’s name is not being released by the school for privacy purposes. The school has been in communication with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Monroe County Health Department about the mumps cases, Carney said. They do not think a

campus clinic offering booster shots is necessary at this time. “It’s in the campus community, but it’s not widespread,” Carney said. “We do feel like we have a good handle on the number right now.” Carney said the school expects a few more confirmed cases, and three to four people are getting tested for mumps every day at the IU Health
Center. Dr. Beth Rupp, IU Health Center medical director said only students who have been in close contact with mumps patients are advised to get a third Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine. Two doses of MMR vaccine is 88% effective against mumps according to the CDC. Rupp said all students should verify they have gotten
these shots and receive them as soon as possible if they have not. Carney said 14 of the 17 students with confirmed cases had required vaccinations, one had one of the two vaccinations and one was religiously exempt from the requirement and had received no MMR vaccination. Carney did not know the 17th student’s vaccine records. Carney said the county health department visited the mumps-affiliated fraternity April 4 to offer free MMR shots for anyone who lived in the house or was frequently there. Rupp urges students to practice healthy habits such as not sharing drinks, food or utensils, washing hands frequently and avoiding sick individuals.
IU to have mumps press conference By Caroline Anders anders6@iu.edu | @clineands
Following a mumps outbreak at IU that’s drawing national attention, the university is organizing a press conference to update the public on what’s happening. It will take place at 2 p.m. Monday in the Indiana Memorial Union Solarium. Speakers at the press conference will talk about what is being done to address the outbreak, which reached 17 confirmed cases last week, and what the public can expect if the disease continues to spread. Representatives from
the Indiana State Department of Health, IU Campus Health Center, IU Environmental Health and Safety and IU Student Affairs will speak. The school’s 17th case of mumps was confirmed on IU-Bloomington’s campus Thursday morning, according to spokesperson Chuck Carney. The first case was confirmed Feb 21. At least nine of the cases are affiliated with an IU fraternity, but the school will not release the fraternity’s name. Carney said 14 of the 17 students with confirmed
cases had required vaccinations, one had one of the two vaccinations and one was religiously exempt from the requirement and had received no MMR vaccination. He did not know the 17th student’s vaccine records. Carney said Thursday that the university feels it has a good handle on the number of mumps cases, but three to four people are still getting tested for mumps every day at the IU Health Center. According to the Centers for Disease Control, a telltale sign of mumps is puffy cheeks and a swollen jaw.
The disease could also lead to loss of appetite, fever, headaches, muscle aches and fatigue. Symptoms of mumps generally appear more than two weeks after infection, and people with mumps typically recover in about two weeks, according to the CDC. Mumps most commonly affects unvaccinated people in a close-contact setting such as a college campus, according to the Mayo Clinic. There is no specific treatment for the viral disease, and it’s highly contagious for about nine days after symptoms begin to appear.
IU responds to greek chapter sanctions By Christine Stephenson cistephe@iu.edu | @cistephenson23
Three greek chapters at IU were suspended and four were placed on cease and desist during the 2018-2019 school year, according to the student affairs document that lists all disciplined student organizations. Six of the seven are chapters in the Interfraternity Council and one is in the IU Panhellenic Association. The chapters suspended this school year are Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Sigma and Delta Chi. The chapters placed on cease and desist this school year are Chi Omega, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Sigma Kappa and Sigma Alpha Mu. Some greek life members feel the disciplinary actions taken against their chapters have been unfair. A seven-page anonymous letter dated March 31 was sent by someone claiming to be a member of the greek
community to the IDS. It addressed certain IU administrative organizations and individuals the writer felt were trying to eliminate greek life. Kathy Adams Riester, associate vice provost for student affairs, was specifically addressed in the letter. Riester said she nor dean of students Dave O’ Guinn received the letter from any students but got a copy from a concerned parent. After IU’s chapter of Delta Chi was suspended March 29, several chapter members contacted the IDS and asked to voice concerns on the fairness of the suspension. A member representing the chapter then did not respond to multiple requests for comment. The IDS also reached out to several members of Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Sigma Kappa and Sigma Alpha Mu, chapters put on cease and desist in 2019, for comment. All either did not respond or declined to be interviewed. Interfraternity Council

president Daniel Stein said he read the anonymous letter but does not agree with the premise that IU’s administration is trying to eliminate greek life. He said all four greek councils have been working closely with administration to improve, including discussing possible changes to the Greek Agreement. This school year is not much different compared to recent years in terms of the number of sanctioned greek chapters, said Libby Spotts, associate dean and director of student conduct. “Folks might think there’s more, but I don’t think that’s necessarily true,” she said. Cease and desist is not a sanction but rather an administrative tool, Spotts said. Organizations are placed on cease and desist to prevent anything dangerous from happening while potential concerns are investigated, she said. Spotts said the administration only uses non-anon-

During the 2011 primary election, District 6 city council member Steve Volan said only 275 people voted in his district out of the approximately 14,000 who live there. “I’ve had more people at my house for a rager than showed up to vote,” Volan said. The lack of votes was not shocking he said. Many students live in Volan’s district and do not participate in local elections, which is something Volan wants to change. Volan, 53, said one of his main goals as he runs unopposed for re-election is to convince more people to treat students like true city residents. Luci McKean, a friend of Volan’s from his involvement with TEDxBloomington and the Lotus Festival, said Volan is particularly attentive to his student constituents. “He listens to them in an equitable manner and respects them,” McKean said. “ I think that’s very valuable.” She said while students don’t usually participate in local government, city residents also don’t usually view students as true residents. McKean said Volan sees this as a mistake. “He reminds us all to take the university population seriously,” she said. Working to better manage city parking and public transit and creating affordable housing that will not jeopardize current singlefamily housing are other goals Volan has for his next term on city council. Volan has been a DJ at WFHB and anchored Thursday’s “Afternoon Music Mix” since the early ‘90s. He was also a founding board member of the Lotus Music Festival in 1994, which he now emcees each year. Volan is also an emcee at the annual
Volunteers in Tutoring Adult Learners’ quiz bowl at the Monroe County Public Library. He authored the ordinance that created the city’s Parking Commission in 2016, which produces annual reports on parking and works to create policy. He believes that the city offering cheap, accessible parking is wrongly supporting car usage. “Private cars are the ones that take up the most space and use the most resources,” Volan said. “We don’t need to be subsidizing cars, we need to be subsidizing public transit.” Volan said he thinks parking should be more expensive and the revenue from parking should be put toward public transit. This would disincentivize car usage, which would decrease fossil fuel use and allow the city to create a better bus system, he said. Bloomington’s growth has affected Volan’s district heavily. He said he wants to protect singlefamily housing while supporting the creation of more housing. In Bloomington’s newly proposed Unified Devlopment Ordinance, some single-family housing is being re-zoned to allow the possibility of more dense multiplex options. Volan said this is a concern throughout the city. “Other neighborhoods are rightly afraid of being the neighborhoods I represent,” Volan said. Volan will graduate with a Master of Arts from IU in May after writing his thesis paper on how campuses emulate cities and how college campuses and students interact with the cities they live in. Volan also teaches a chess class at IU.

Once an organization is no longer on cease and desist, it is removed from the student affairs documents, Cohen said. This means documents from previous school years will not include a list of organizations that were on cease and desist at the time. Spotts said students are encouraged to get in contact with the office if they feel they have been treated unfairly or have any other concerns.

JONAH’S JUSTIFICATIONS
Stop smearing the left, address the root cause of illegal immigration Jonah Hyatt is a sophomore in political science and philosophy.
The immigration policies from left wing politicians have recently become so often maligned by Republicans in Congress. President Trump has made immigration the centerpiece of his political platform, instilling the notion within public discourse that illegal immigration is a top priority. Since his election, Trump has shut down the government over border wall funding, often calling the situation at the border an “invasion” by illegal immigrants and terrorist groups. This is nothing but a manufactured crisis.
During the government shutdown, Trump and other Republicans often described the Democrats as obstinate, with the Democratic Party now being called “the party of open borders.” This is far from the truth — no elected Democrats are calling for open borders. No one on the left or the right is in favor of illegal immigration, but solutions like an expensive and impractical border wall are not viable options. At his town hall April 7 in Oskaloosa, Iowa, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was asked a question about why he supports open borders. He clarified and responded, “I’m afraid you may be getting your information wrong; I think what we need
is comprehensive immigration reform.” This is demonstrative as to how Democrats are smeared when it comes to immigration. The left wants to limit illegal immigration, and to accomplish this, we need to do things like reverse disastrous trade deals such as NAFTA and CAFTA which drive people out of work in Latin America and legalize, tax and regulate drugs to take the power away from drug cartels. The immigration platform on the left consists of granting amnesty to immigrants already in the U.S., abolishing unnecessary organizations such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and, more effectively, combating the causes
of illegal immigration into the country. Undocumented immigrants are essential to the American economy, and it would not be a practical solution to drive them all out. Instead, it is more important to fix the causes of illegal immigration in the first place. The image often painted of undocumented immigrants is that they are hardened criminals entering the country wreaking havoc in our cities, but this is completely false. Several studies by the Sentencing Project and the Cato Institute show immigrants are far less likely to commit crimes than native-born citizens. No one has any problem with immediately deport-
RACHEL’S REASONING
ing violent criminals, but government organizations such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement are highly unnecessary, especially for limiting illegal immigration. ICE was created in 2003 and largely serves as a deportation force instilling fear in immigrants. Border and Customs Protection already monitors the border, so ICE is just an unnecessary force for immigrant detention. There have also been thousands of ICE detainees who have been put into forced labor at detention centers, violating anti-slavery laws. Through Trump’s antiimmigration policies, the situation at the southern border has become more dire than before he entered
office, with illegal immigration up 370% over the past six months, according to Customs and Border Patrol. The problem of immigration is only exacerbated by right-wing policies such as removing programs like Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected Status for immigrants. Undocumented immigrants are not violent criminals, just people looking for opportunity. We need to attack the root causes of illegal immigration instead of targeting those who are contributing to the American economy and society — this is the immigration policy the left is advocating for. hyattj@iu.edu

The higher education system in the US is classist Rachel Noll is a sophomore in journalism, nonprofit management and Spanish.
Coming from a small town, there has always been a stigma surrounding people who either go to community college or stay in their hometown to go somewhere local. There’s this whole idea of, “If you stay here now, you’ll never leave.” While that might be true for some, have you ever stepped back and thought about why? Going to a big university such as IU is sometimes not an option for students who come from low-income families or from families who aren’t able to help them out with the bare necessities of living alone for the first time. In the Midwest, 70% of residents stay in the state they grew up in, and half of that number stay in their hometown their whole life,
according to an article from Inverse. From personal experience, I believe there is a connection between if you leave for college or stay at home and whether you make it out of your hometown or not. This is because of how insanely expensive our higher education system is and how not every family can offer financial assistance to its children. If someone is lucky enough to make it here on scholarships or student loans, then it's now the question of how he or she will pay for the things a scholarship or student loan doesn’t. From personal experience, student loans often only cover housing, but when it comes to food, books, clothing, gas and any other extra expense that someone living on his or her own may need to cover, you’re on your own. The obvious answer is to get a job, but for some, the stress of working 30 hours a
week, taking 15 credit hours and trying to stay involved in extracurriculars while also seeking out internships becomes too much. On top of that, being hours away from home and everything you knew growing up can leave you feeling lost. IU does a decent job at trying to acclimate students to university life when they first arrive as freshmen, but the culture at IU often leans toward favoring the financially privileged students, maybe with no intention of doing so at all. An example of this could be something as simple as closing dining courts and on-campus convenience stores on certain days and times on the weekend. For some, food courts and meal points are their only source of food. This forces them to venture out and spend money they may not have on food off-campus. Many people enforce the idea of studying abroad and
widening your horizon, and while some scholarships do cover the overall cost, once you get to the country the amount of money you spend on other outside items often would not be covered. There are success stories of people making it at big, prestigious universities by struggling and working their way through college with no help from their parents. These are rare cases, and it’s very difficult to see someone desperately want to succeed but be knocked down by money issues time and time again. At the end of the day, this is a problem with our higher education system. The price of college in the United States is more expensive than anywhere else, and something needs to be done about it. People deserve the opportunity to branch out and, if their grades permit it, go to whatever school they want. racnoll@iu.edu
Historic landmarks aren’t going to come to you. We all have places we want to visit and things we want to do. Rather than fulfilling these dreams, we store them away on our mental shelves and claim we’ll come back for them later. We’re cheating ourselves. We give ourselves false hope we’ll do these things someday. “Someday” isn’t good enough. It takes too long and, in many cases, never comes. It’s important to do what you want in this world as quickly as possible because you never know what tomorrow brings. Naturally one may wonder why the harm of a mindlessly uttered word could be debilitating. It’s because the word “someday” is perpetual. When we say “someday,” we feel a sense of false satisfaction because we think we’ve finally committed to crossing off a desire on our bucket lists. As the flames broke skyward from the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, all I could think about was how thankful I was to have been able to see it before such a tragedy occurred. As I watched the spiral give and topple down, I couldn’t help but feel I was watching someone’s dreams go up in smoke right then and there. Of course I felt sorry for France, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of absolute sorrow for anyone who desired
to but couldn’t go see it. I’m beyond thankful I was among some of the last people to ever see it in its historic, unscarred glory. Then I began to ponder what I could learn from such a tragedy. It came to me in an instant. The raging inferno on the screen before me could have been any structure I dream of visiting one day. It could have been the Sistine Chapel, the Taj Mahal or even the Golden Gate Bridge. These historic landmarks could go up in flames or tumble to the Earth any minute, never to be seen in person again. I then thought about the structures I’ve been fortunate enough to visit. I thought about Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Tower Bridge and the Eiffel Tower. All of these structures could be gone tomorrow, but at least I’d have the caveat of knowing I saw them with my own eyes. I watched as my TV showed me an iconic structure burning in an unforgiving inferno. Notre Dame survived the French Revolution and German occupation during WWII. Sadly its demise was as mundane as a simple accident, and Paris’ silhouette was forever changed. By the time the flames began to fizzle out, I learned one more lesson from the fire at Notre Dame: If a landmark you hope to visit is under renovation, see it as quickly as you can. msskiles@iu.edu
THOUGHT POCKET
Initiatives allow for the growth of humanities and student enrichment Tiffany Xie is a junior in biology and English.
Two weeks ago, Lilly Endowment Inc. gifted a $10.9 million grant through the IU Foundation to support renovations to Lilly Library. The Lilly Library, located in the Fine Arts Plaza of Indiana University, is one of the most important rare book and manuscript libraries in the United States. IU President Michael McRobbie said this grant “will greatly improve its ability to provide wide access to the library’s rare books, manuscripts and objects to broader audiences — from children to lifelong learners and scholars — enhancing all of our communities.” Large grants and renovations like these bring the focus of growth at IU to humanities scholarship and increased accessibility to university resources. I hope these initiatives also sup-
port the growth of the public humanities on campus, which actively work to make the humanities relevant and meaningful to the general population. This is valuable for every student at IU. As IU English professor Christoph Irmscher notes, “The Lilly Library is one of a small handful of top rare books libraries in the world.” The grant gives greater visibility to the library and, according to Irmscher, “the recognition it deserves.” Although the Lilly Library is a rich resource, relatively few students know of its merits and resources. The library contains more than 450,000 rare books, 8.5 million manuscripts and 150,000 sheets of music. Its collection rivals that of the Beinecke Library at Yale or Houghton Library at Harvard. Perhaps there is a sense that only professors and classes associated with the Lilly can access it, but in
reality, anyone can walk in and request to see items from its collection. I was lucky enough to visit the Lilly during my first semester at IU as part of a course on environmental literature. As I visited the Lilly to prepare for my final paper, my notes intermingled on the wooden tables of the reading room with Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass.” There is a sense of connection that comes from the physicality of a first editionor from Whitman’s pencil stub that was not present in my brand-new, massmarket paperback. The library’s growing collection and increased use by students and scholars have placed tremendous strain on its resources. “The library staff are constantly stretched to their limits,” Irmscher said. The grant will help ease this strain and enable new programs at the library. The Lilly is not only for
scholars and researchers. The library curates special exhibitions throughout the year. Currently the Lilly is hosting exhibitions on 16thcentury Mexican imprints, the Richard G. Lugar papers and the collections of Elisabeth Woodworth Ball and Ruth Elizabeth Adomeit. The library is also home to one of the largest puzzle collections in the world, which visitors can try to solve in the Slocum Puzzle Room. The library’s Twitter account highlights events called “Flipping the Bird,” or turning the pages of John James Audubon’s “The Birds of America.” “These initiatives make the library a destination rather than just a place to just see books,” Irmscher said, bringing humanities scholarship closer to the public. In recent years, the university has created new programs focused on humanities scholarship and the notion of public humanities, or making the humanities
meaningful and accessible to everyday people. The Arts & Humanities Council helps organize events throughout the year that engage the Bloomington community, such as First Thursdays, “Mexico Remixed,” and the upcoming Granfalloon festival. Platform, described as a “a research laboratory in contemporary arts and humanities,” is a new initiative to engage people from diverse disciplines and walks of life in projects focused on “Indiana Studies” and “Global Popular Music.” There is a national sentiment that devalues the humanities and privileges subjects with skills that are “directly translatable” to jobs — things like the STEM field or business. President Trump’s new budget plan would cut funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Ser-
vices. This is the third year in a row that his administration has cut funding for the arts and humanities. At IU, I’m an English major. But I’m also a biology major. As a student of both the sciences and the humanities, I sit on the threshold of this debate. I find the humanities enriching, not stifling. Many STEM professionals seem to agree. Last year, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine released a report encouraging the integration of the sciences with humanities and arts in higher education. The growth of the Lilly Library, the Arts & Humanities Council and Platform all generate an essential space for the humanities at Indiana University. These initiatives nourish our students to become informed, critical and curious thinkers. Let’s keep it that way. tifxie@iu.edu

Later, the crowd sang along to the band’s cover of “Take Me to Church” by Hozier. “I’m so excited for SHAED,” IU sophomore Hannah Cougill said earlier in the day. “I just started listening to them, and they sound like they’re going to be so good live.” Cougill worked the festival as a WIUX member and said preparing for Culture Shock was a long but rewarding process. By the time VD Collective was spinning its last set and Chicago rapper Saba was about to take the stage, Alumni Hall was at capacity with a line of people waiting to get in. IU sophomore Dhayshaneil Booker made it to the

Security yelled at those in the front rows to step back. A large dance circle formed in the middle of the crowd as Saba performed his song “Westside Bound 3.” “And I’m from the part of the city they don’t be talking about,” he rapped. “I gave the west side a new meaning.” At one point, Saba told the crowd to keep their hands up for an entire song. A sea of hands swayed back and forth as he rapped, almost perfectly in time.

ginning of the season, and we need to find that again.” Following the series sweep, IU remains winless in conference road games and has now been swept in three-straight conference road series.
» MUMFORD
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “His major accomplishments were really helping give meaning to the lives of students and helping them to learn and enjoy learning,” he said. In addition to teaching and singing, Mumford’s friends said he loved poetry, plants, cooking, fashion and spending time with his animals. Darran Mosley, 42, met Mumford when he arrived at IU as a freshman in 1994. He said Mumford created an environment in his African American Choral Ensemble class that quickly felt like home. “He fostered a community,” Mosley said. “And at that time, especially, we really needed a community of black students.” Many couples, including Mosley and his first wife, met and cultivated their relationships in Mumford’s class. “His fingerprints on people’s lives are just unbelievable,” Mosley said. Mumford’s friends, former students and family members
flooded his Facebook page with posts in the days following his death. They shared their grief, but also praised Mumford for his talents, thanked him for his positive influence and told stories of how he changed their lives. Many said they would not have made it through their undergraduate years if it weren’t for him. Richardo Wallace, 37, shares these sentiments. He said he would not have stayed at IU or graduated without Mumford’s guidance and support. “I’d had a difficult time adjusting to Bloomington and distinctly remember him being able to put my mind at ease in a way it hadn’t been since I’d arrived on campus,” Wallace said. Wallace said Mumford acted as a father figure for him and even stood in his wedding as his best man. Many who knew Mumford said they will miss his smile, humor, wisdom and stories he shared about his experiences. “He was a person who didn’t meet any strangers,” Wise said. “He could meet anybody, talk to anybody, and
before you knew it, you felt like you were best pals, you felt like you’d known him for 50 years.” Wise, who is also a minister, said he and Mumford often prayed together as Mumford got older, in Mumford’s home, in the hospital and sometimes over the phone. “When I grow up, I want to pray like you,” Mumford often said to Wise. “When I grow up, I want to be like you,” Wise would respond. Mumford attended the same church as Githiri, who lives in Bloomington. They often sat together in a row near the back of the church. Even with a cane or walker in his later years, Mumford was there, Githiri said. Mumford is survived by his daughter and granddaughter. A public memorial service will take place at 1 p.m. April 29 at Sherwood Oaks Christian Church in Bloomington. “Even though the world has lost a legend, the reality is that he imparted so much into all who came in contact with him that he will never be forgotten,” Githiri said. “He just will not.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 only clinic in Bloomington providing care to uninsured patients. And these days, it’s only getting harder to help those like José. All undocumented immigrants and those who have had legal status for fewer than five years are ineligible for health care through the Affordable Care Act, leaving them to rely on private insurance or none at all. In Bloomington, this leaves a significant portion, particularly those who are low income, with the clinic as their only option. From the beginning of President Trump’s campaign, he has called for increased restrictions on immigration and blamed immigrants for crime and unemployment. As he has moved through his first two years of presidency, rhetoric and national policy continue to be pitted against immigrants — and the clinic is feeling the repercussions. Shelley Sallee, Volunteers in Medicine assistant director, who began working at the clinic in 2008, said she wasn’t expecting it to be like this. “I’ve never worked in a place that relied so heavily on the political environment,” she said. “You know, we don’t want to be political, we just want to take care of people.” Sallee has noticed that more than ever, many patients are hesitant to fill out confidential paperwork, such as the emergency Medicaid forms that will help them get affordable care in life-threatening circumstances. “They’re afraid that will open them up to deportation, even though it says in the law that they cannot use that information to instigate any kind of deportation,” she said. “But they don’t trust that.” Although Maria López is a legal resident of the U.S. now, she still feels this fear sometimes. Some patients bypass the

clinic completely and only visit the emergency room as a last resort, but sometimes this can be more harmful than helpful. Samantha Eads, a nurse practitioner at the clinic, knows this from her previous job at an ER.
“If you have a room full of hungry kids and one who isn’t eating, that’s where the greatest need is. That kid is the undocumented population.” Taylor Kelley, health care policy researcher
In the ER, a simple illness can become pricey when doctors are required to conduct a number of required tests before the patient can be released. “They would come in with maybe a rash or some
reflux, things that had simple answers but became complicated because of the setting,” Eads said. “There is this saying that in primary care they play to win, in emergency medicine they play not to lose.” In 2016, Eads decided to leave her ER profession for the clinic. “I wanted to treat people proactively rather than letting them wait until the last minute when they were scared,” she said. “I wanted to be part of the solution.” Taylor Kelley, who specializes in health care policy research at the University of Michigan, said the need for accessible health care for undocumented immigrants is greater now than ever before. This is not necessarily because there is an increase in those entering the country, he said, but because so many people who are here legally are losing their protected status and are waiting for the government to decide on their future. In the meantime, even
more are left without access to health care. “If you have a room full of hungry kids and one who isn’t eating, that’s where the greatest need is,” Kelley said. “That kid is the undocumented population.” Starting last year, the clinic has been facing a new challenge. In September, the Trump administration announced adjustments to the so-called Public Charge regulation that would make it more difficult for immigrants receiving government assistance to qualify for green cards to work legally in the U.S. Right now, the rule only applies to immigrants on a benefit known as Supplemental Security Income. But the Trump administration wants to expand that program to cover immigrants also receiving food stamps, housing subsidies and most types of Medicaid. Critics believe this will force millions of people to choose between government assistance and legal status. The changes have not
taken effect yet, but many predict they will within the year. “That changes a lot,” Eads said. “It makes people afraid to ask for help, and it not only affects their wellbeing but their dignity.” On top of national policy changes, the clinic has smaller-scale problems of its own.
“We’re all on a journey, and we all need people to help us on our journey.” Samantha Eads, nurse practitioner
Compared to the IU Health Bloomington Hospital next door, the clinic is lacking. Although it receives funding from the Indiana State Department of Health, Monroe and Owen county councils and several grants, money is still tight sometimes. No patient who walks
through the door will have to pay, which is vital for many patients who cannot afford otherwise. But this means the clinic is left to cover things that other places do not. “We have to pay for medications, labs, X-rays, MRIs,” Sallee said. “We can’t pay for a surgery, that’s an outrageous amount of money.” Beyond financial problems, sometimes the staff can be spread thin. In total, there are usually fewer than 20 full- or part-time employees, including dentists and administrative staff. The team is made up of volunteer physicians and nurse practitioners who treat patients and prescribe medications. As a whole, the clinic treats about 50 patients a day. This can be overwhelming, Eads said, but manageable. “There’s always room for more,” she said. “We’re all on a journey, and we all need people to help us on our journey.” For immigrant patients, their care often includes helping them navigate the U.S. health care system, which can be drastically different from what they have known. Maritza Alvarez, a registered nurse who retired from Volunteers in Medicine in January, left her home in the Dominican Republic 30 years ago for the U.S. Adjusting to the health care system was difficult, she said, because it was so different from that of the country that raised her. One of the first things she noticed was that many Americans are not in “survival mode.” Patients schedule checkups even when they’re healthy. They take preventative medications. They have to go out of their way to exercise and choose a healthy diet. “It’s a lot different here,” she said. “Doctors are helping you even if you’re not sick.” FINISH THE STORY ONLINE IDSNEWS.COM

Anime and T-shirts: Juwan Morgan’s Legacy By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97
With one of his final acts as an IU men’s basketball player, Juwan Morgan spoke about “Dragon Ball Z.” It happened in the IU locker room after one of the team’s forgettable National Invitation Tournament games that closed the 2018-19 season, and with it Morgan’s college career. His header picture on Twitter depicts a character from the show, a blue and cartoonish muscular figure named Android 13. He’s one of Morgan’s favorite characters from the Japanese anime series, and someone he frequently references in tweet hashtags. Android 13 has two forms. He normally looks like a realistic truck driver, complete with a flat brim hat and gloves. After transforming, though, he morphs into the angry, yellow-eyed, red-haired figure hovering above Morgan’s tweets. “If you watch the anime,” Morgan said with his 6-foot-8 frame comfortably set into a black locker room chair. “He’s kind of like a chill guy. But when he transforms into the blue guy, he’s a lot different beast.” Morgan has watched anime since he was 9, and the similarities between him and Android 13 go beyond the fact Morgan started wearing the number 13 when he arrived as a freshman in 2015. In the “Dragon Ball Z” world, it’s Android 13’s mission to destroy the protagonist, Goku. But Android 13 takes a casual approach to this assignment, seeming almost bizarrely laid back before morphing into a more robust version of himself, similar to Morgan at IU. “I never really showed emotion, got in anybody’s face,” Morgan said of his early college years. “Even in high school I kind of just jogged everywhere. I don’t think I sprinted one time all through high school.” Playing in the Big Ten forced Morgan to come out of his comfort zone — to play with more assertiveness. But fans could be forgiven for wondering if Morgan’s switch remained fully on throughout his college career. He still doesn’t show much emotion on the court, beyond the occasional flex of his muscles. Oncourt success as a team was lacking, as the Hoosiers failed to make the NCAA Tournament beyond Morgan’s freshman season. So when IU lost 12 of 13 games during his senior year to effectively end its NCAA Tournament chances, it ensured Morgan’s college legacy would lack a proper ending.
During that dismal stretch, he once again wasn’t particularly animated on the court or when speaking to teammates in public. The traits of Android 13 were the traits of Juwan Morgan. * * * For a player whose college career was littered with notable moments, Morgan’s favorite memory as a Hoosier reflects his hatred for the spotlight. In January 2016, during his freshman season, as IU squeaked out a one-point home win against Wisconsin on its way to a Big Ten regular season title. Morgan’s stat line from that game was unremarkable. He played 17 minutes off the bench, scored no points, gathered only two rebounds and fouled out. His task that night was to contain two of Wisconsin’s top three scorers from that season – forwards Nigel Hayes and Ethan Happ. Morgan’s success in this mission earned him post-game praise from coaches and teammates. “I was like, ‘How is that my best game?’” Morgan said. “They were telling me the way I guarded Ethan Happ and Nigel Hayes that day really helped us come through with a win. That’s kind of when I realized that it’s not all about scoring, rebounding, things like that. It’s just about doing your job.” Then-Head Coach Tom Crean put it concisely after the game. “That was the plan.” Over Morgan’s four seasons at IU, the plan and role he fit into changed drastically, from a bench player to an occasional starter to the default top scoring option. Morgan’s sophomore season saw the end of Crean’s tenure at IU, and his junior and senior years marked the turbulent start to Archie Miller’s reign. But this change in coaching staff and on-court roles gave Morgan versatility. He can operate in the post, backing down defenders, but he’s almost equally good as a nimble ball handler and passer. This made him a nightmare matchup for opponents, reflected by his selection as a second-team All-Big Ten player as a junior and as a third-team All-Big Ten player in his senior year. “He’s one of the hardest matchups in the league,” Ohio State Head Coach Chris Holtmann said prior to the 2019 Big Ten Tournament. “He can do a little bit of everything.” This growth meant Morgan increasingly found himself in the spotlight. Along with senior guard Zach McRoberts, Morgan was
named a co-captain of the Hoosiers for the 2018-19 season, and the pair represented IU at last October’s Big Ten Men’s Basketball Media Day in Rosemont, Illinois. This trip put Morgan in a position he considers unenviable – with the focus on him. “That’s definitely a personality thing,” Morgan said. “I hate being the center ter of attention. I can’t stand it.” Part of his on-court prowess came thanks hanks to the offensive freedom Miller granted to Morgan. Morgan n was allowed to compliment his is post play with perimeter shootingg under the former University of Dayton head coach, attempting ng a three-pointer in 56 of his 66 6 games under Miller. He did so while playing as a centerr for the Hoosiers. Oncee Thomas Bryant and OG Anunoby, nunoby, part of the same 2015 015 recruiting class as Morgan, n, opted to leave IU early for the NBA after the 2016-17 season, a void oid was left at center. Crean an had used Morgan as a versatilee defender within his system, which hich required all five Hoosiers on n the court to be able, in theory, to guard any of their five opponents. nts. But Miller specifically needed a center. It was as another role for Morgan to slide into, and another chance to display lay his gritty, team-focused mindset. t. “It made me tougher as a person overall,” Morgan said. Being ng assigned this fixed position n took a beating on Morgan’s n’s body.

This forced Morgan to learn how to pick and choose his moments on both ends. ds. “I feel el like I’m capable of guarding one through five,” Morgan said. “I want to show what I’m able to do on offense, how I’m able to be

I feel like I can be effective in many more ways than one.” Whether its locking down opponents’ leading scorers or having an offensive outburst for more than 25 points, p , as Morgan g did nine times,, a singular theme remains. “I try to deflect it to my teammates,” Morgan said of the praise he receives.

Morgan played with a Wilson ball during all of his games at Waynesville, though that wasn’t the case in college. IU uses an Adidas ball for home games, and the brands differ for road games and tournaments. Because Wilson is the official official ball for the NCAA Tournament and the NIT, Morgan closed three of his four college seasons, including his final three games, playing with his preferred ball.

Sing-along show performs ‘Hamilton’ music By Grace Ybarra gnybarra@iu.edu | @gnybarra
Bloomington residents sang music from the Broadway musical “Hamilton” with performers Thursday night at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater through the sing-a-long event called “Hamiltunes.” Singers from the Jacobs School of Music, Singing Hoosiers and Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance stood behind the six mic stands on the stage, each playing a different character from the musical. A few members of the Bloomington High School North choir dressed in black sang chorus behind the singers. Before the show, Mayor John Hamilton addressed the audience and joked about sharing a last name with Alexander Hamilton. “I mean, what are the chances that you’d be staging a review of songs from the musical 'Hamilton' in a city where the mayor likes to sing musical theater?" Hamilton said. Hamilton also said the musical’s messages about immigrants were important. “I can’t agree more with that message of this musical,”

Singers from the Jacobs School of Music, Singing Hoosiers and Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance participate Thursday night in "Hamiltunes," a "Hamilton" sing-along, at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. A few members of the Bloomington High School North choir sang in the chorus, and Mayor John Hamilton came on stage to sing in a duet.
Hamilton said. “Ultimately, it’s meant for everyone in our great, multi-colored quilt, immigrant-filled rainbow of a nation to say, ‘This is our country.’” The show featured 14 of the musical’s 46 songs, including “Alexander Hamil-
ton,” “My Shot” and “Wait for It.” “They left out a couple of my favorites,” 13-year-old Katie Summerlot said. “But you know, it’s fine.” After the singers performed “Alexander Hamilton,” the audience clapped
and cheered. “I think we’re doing alright tonight,” said Joseph Ittoop, who played Alexander Hamilton, after finishing the first song. The singers danced during each of the songs, with the lyrics projected on a
screen behind them. After each song, they explained the context and scene of the next song. The audience took part in the interactive performance by singing and rapping the songs with the singers on stage, with hundreds of voic-
es filling the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Summerlot and her friend Amelia Robinson, 12, said they planned on singing along throughout the entire performance. “I memorized the whole two-hour musical,” Robinson said. Hamilton joined the singers on stage for the song “Dear Theodosia.” He sang Alexander Hamilton’s part of the duet with Nathan Carey, who played Aaron Burr. The crowd cheered loudly after the mayor finished his first verse and sang along with him. The event was put on by the Indiana University Center for Rural Engagement, in partnership with the Jacobs School of Music Office of Entrepreneurship and Career Development, the Singing Hoosiers and the Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance. “We’re very proud of the people who are participating in this,” said Ed Comentale, director of the IU Arts and Humanities Council. “It’s an amazing collaboration, and it’s exactly the kind of work that we’ve been supporting throughout the region.”

The documentary "Year of the Woman" will be screened at 7 p.m. Monday at the IU Cinema.
Documentary film to screen By Grace Ybarra gnybarra@iu.edu | @gnybarra
A recently restored version of the film “Year of the Woman” will be screened at 7 p.m. Monday at IU Cinema. The 1973 documentary was created by first-time filmmaker, poet and journalist Sandra Hochman alongside an all-female crew. The filmmakers documented as well as participated in the radical interventions of the Women’s Movement at the 1972 Democratic National Convention. Hochman, who believed media personalities like Walter Cronkite weren’t fairly covering women candidates, wore a giant plaster crocodile mask in response to the media’s “crocodile tears.” The film challenges the media on the limited coverage African American Democratic presidential candidate Shirley Chisholm. The film played for only five nights in 5th Avenue Cinema in New York City’s Greenwich Village in 1973. Carmel Curtis, a film digitization specialist at the IU Libraries
Moving Image Archive, said the actual celluloid film print was then held in the Ruth Lilly Auxiliary Library Facility as a part of Hochman’s collection of papers. The film has been preserved in climate-controlled temperatures in the ALF, as film degrades over time and high temperatures or humidity can accelerate that degradation. “It’s really incredible that IU has invested into amazing climate-controlled storage conditions,” Curtis said. “So this film, even though it hadn’t been seen for a long time, it wasn’t degrading at an accelerated rate.” Curtis said that Rachael Stoeltje, the director of the Moving Image Archive, has been working hard to archive, preserve and conserve this film over the last decade. She said it was difficult to get the resources to give the film the restoration it needed. But through the Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative at IU, they were able to digitize and restore the film. This restored version of the film is the version that will be shown at the cinema.
“We really wanted to bring it to IU to highlight the work from this project,” Curtis said. “But we also wanted to elevate the conversation around women’s rights.” Following the screening of the film, the Monroe County Indiana Chapter of the National Organization for Women will facilitate a post-screening discussion at the cinema. Curtis said the discussion will cover reactions to the film, historical context and the contemporary state of politics. “This really combines this opportunity to explore the crossover between arts and politics, and to let both sides of those thrive off of each other,” Curtis said. Curtis said this newly restored version of the film has been played at the Film Forum in New York once, but she is excited for it to be screened in Bloomington. “The fact that this film has been stored with the Lilly Library in the ALF and now is able to be shared with IU Bloomington communities is a really great example of how preservation and access can go hand in hand,” Curtis said.
As a freshman at IU, I acquainted myself with Bloomington through its bus system. Specifically, I made trips to Target and Kroger on the 9 bus. I know now Target and Kroger hardly qualify as Bloomington proper. Nonetheless, the slight befuddlement I felt on those trips, unsure the bus would in fact deliver me to my destination, helped me create a mental map of Bloomington. This lesson is one I forgot when I moved to Aix-enProvence, France, in January to study at a university here for the semester. As a Midwesterner unaccustomed to the practices of public transportation, I’ve always found myself suspicious of it as a form of reliable travel, even while attempting to traverse cities as sprawling as Rome. After all, the Midwest is not a land made for ease of public transport. But when I realized my apartment this semester was a 40-minute walk from my university, the bus became a necessity. And I’m glad it has. The bus allows me to see more of the city than I would walking. I love watching the now-green trees whiz by, their smooth bark offset by the dusty yellow buildings native to the city. Any given bus on a weekday morning is a microcosm of the city itself. Two distinct populations occupy it: students — Aix is a university
town — and elderly people. On market days, I often spot the same elderly man tug along a shopping cart with him as he exits at the stop in the thick of the fruit and produce stalls. The buses also helped me settle into the rhythms of French culture. Here, bonjour and au revoir, or hello and goodbye in English, are important for social interactions, even in restaurants, stores or, yes, buses. At first, I was resistant to au revoir as a universal farewell because it literally translates to something along the lines of "until I see you again.” Why would I say that to a bus driver or cashier? The odds of me seeing them again are low. So, I worked my around it with phrases such as bonne journée or merci as substitutes, which mean "have a good day” and “thank you” in English. As you can imagine, this grew exhausting. Now every time I exit the bus, I contribute to the chorus of au revoirs. Like the restaurants and shops of the country, the bus system operates on limited hours — never there for me to catch a ride to the regional bus station for an early morning departure or catch one home at 10 p.m. from a friend’s apartment. Many don’t operate on Sundays, just as the rest of France more or less shuts down for the day. My bus rides are a reminder I was never going to pass as French, even without the immediate giveaway of my non-native
accent. Backpacks are not in style here, and neither is the sight of my reusable water bottle peeking out from the side pouch of my backpack. Instead, chic shoulder bags and satchels reign supreme. Girls wear skirts with black tights and crisp white sneakers, an ensemble my wardrobe lacks. I could be accused of romanticizing my time on Aix’s buses. I’ll admit I’m susceptible to the allure of everyday practices I never grew up with, something public transportation lends itself to. But there is a beauty to the way taking the bus can unveil a place and make it comprehensible. Once I acclimated myself to the public transportation in Aix-en-Provence — and, specifically, my chosen routes — folding myself into city life became easier. I think back to the first few days when I nervously edged my way onto buses, when the one I wanted to take flew past me because I didn’t know it’s necessary to signal or the drivers won’t stop. These aren’t worries I hold now, after having learned how the timetables function and where all the major stops are located. If anything, I enjoy my moments on the bus. They make me feel like a true inhabitant of this place and not just someone passing through for a few months — and that is a small victory I will happily embrace.

WOMEN'S TENNIS
IU closes regular season with senior weekend here on a day like this where a lot of people showed up, even on Easter Sunday, I give them a lot of credit because that’s who they are and they’re why people showed up.” Junior Caitlin Bernard and sophomore Michelle McKamey each picked up wins via third-set tiebreakers as IU edged out Maryland 6-1 in the lone women’s match played at the IU Tennis Center's outdoor courts this season. A day earlier, IU challenged Rutgers inside the facility to start the weekend. The Scarlet Knights made quick work of McKamey and freshman Somer Henry at No. 3 doubles, but the Hoosiers captured 6-3 wins at No. 1 and 2 to take the 1-0 lead. Straight sets wins from McKamey and Whalen brought IU’s lead to 3-0 and put pressure on Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights responded with wins at No. 3 and 4 singles, but Appel came back to win 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 and seal the match for the Hoosiers. Henry’s win made it a 5-2 victory for IU. With the final weekend of the regular season behind them, the Hoosiers now look to next week’s Big Ten Tournament in Lincoln, Nebraska. IU, 16-10 overall, is in a three-

Senior Madison Appel lost what would have been her 100th collegiate doubles win Sunday as IU let the doubles point slip away to Maryland on Senior Day. Trailing early, the Hoosiers went to work in singles and never looked back. “After the doubles, I told them that everybody has to take care of their court,” IU Head Coach Ramiro Azcui said. “I think everyone did that and stepped in and contributed any way they could. Losing the doubles point was crucial, but for them to bounce back and get 6 wins like that is tremendous.” Appel redeemed herself with a 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 1 singles to close out her career on IU’s courts and to tie the match at one apiece. Sophomore Jelly Bozovic joined Appel, her No. 1 doubles partner, with a straight sets singles win of her own at No. 4. Moments later, senior Natalie Whalen brought IU within a point of clinching the match with a 6-4, 6-1 win at No. 2 singles. “What a way to finish their careers here at Indiana,” Azcui said of Appel and Whalen. “For them to get wins on their last match

Azcui said of the Big Ten Tournament. “This tournament is wide open and we have the motivation to go out and do anything. This is IU’s first time finishing the regular sea-
son over .500 in the Big Ten since 2015, the season before Appel and Whalen came to Bloomington to play tennis. IU is pited at the No. 7 seed for the conference tournament where it'll

IU drops final regular season matches on road 4-1, 7-0 The first loss came Friday at Penn State, where IU lost 4-1 after falling into a 3-0 hole to start the match.

After going 3-0 in its matches last weekend, IU struggled in its final two matches of the season this weekend, going 0-2. The two matches this weekend were against two of the best teams in the conference, No. 34 Penn State and No. 1 Ohio State.

against the No. 1 team in the country. The Buckeyes showed why they are ranked so highly, dominating the Hoosiers en route to a 7-0 sweep. Only one match went to a third set, with all the others won by the Buckeyes in straight sets. The losses certainly hurt IU's NCAA tournament résumé. IU must await its fate

at the hands of the selection committee after the upcoming Big Ten tournament. Slam Tennis Bracketology currently has IU as one of the “next four out” of the NCAA tournament. Junior William Piekarsky said the team closely watches all of the NCAA tournament projections. “We’re all over that,” Piekarsky said. “We focused a lit-
tle too much on it this week.” Piekarsky felt like the team's performance suffered this weekend because it worried too much about the NCAA tournament and its overall résumé instead of preparing for the matches at hand. IU hasn’t been to the NCAA tournament since the 2012-13 season. IU will have one last op-
portunity to impress the selection committeenext weekend in the Big Ten tournament. Currently IU is slated to face either Michigan State, which it beat earlier at home, or Michigan, which it lost to at home. “A win probably puts us back in the tournament,” Piekarsky said. “It’s all riding on that.”

» MORGAN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 each school IU played at during his career. “I always dribble them, shoot them up in the air, or whatever it is, just so I can get a feel for them,” Morgan said. “Regardless of what ball it is, I think my shot’s going in.” His decision to always wear a T-shirt underneath his jersey during games is also a matter of preference. “I think I’m weirdly built,” Morgan said. “Like I don’t think I’m fat, but I don’t think I’m like ripped up either. So it’s just comfortable.” Past college stars like Paul Pierce at the University of Kansas, Rajon Rondo at the University of Kentucky and James Harden at Arizona State University were all singled out by Morgan as sources of inspiration when it came to successful college players who wore a T-shirt. “Pretty much any guy I could name that wore a Tshirt in college is like an allstar right now, or a hall of famer,” Morgan said. “It’s not a bad thing to wear a T-shirt.” As Morgan’s sophomore season neared its midway point, he questioned for how much longer the name on the jersey covering the Tshirt would read “INDIANA.” He said he was no longer comfortable playing for the cream and crimson, despite being in the midst of a 201617 season which featured wins against Kansas and the University of North Carolina and harbored hopes of an NCAA Tournament run. Morgan entertained thoughts of transferring from the program. “It was like a mental thing I was going through,” Morgan said. “I just felt like when I got the ball, like, I didn’t know how to play basketball anymore.” These concerns were kept quiet by Morgan, only rising to the surface as his senior season neared its end. It took calming advice from two younger friends and teammates that season, then-freshmen guard Devonte Green and forward De’Ron Davis, to keep Mor-

gan in Bloomington. “I think we all as players, and just as college kids, we have that thought at some point in our career,” Green said. “I think just pointing out the bond that we have here is like no other. It’s going to be like starting all over, leaving and going somewhere else.” Morgan also leaned on Crean, during what would be his final season as head coach, for guidance on what to do. It took several meetings between Morgan, Crean and other members of the coaching staff, spent watching game film and talking through plays, to convince Morgan to stay. “I thank them for those things,” Morgan said. “I’m really glad I didn’t make that decision to transfer.”
* * * During his four seasons in Bloomington, Morgan had 34 different teammates, each with particular intricacies Morgan learned from and adapted to. Two of the most influential teammates for Morgan, guard Yogi Ferrell and forward Troy Williams, joined him for only the 2015-16 season. It was Morgan’s first season at IU and the last one for the two upperclassmen before they turned professional. The pair challenged Morgan to show more emotion, to get in other players’ faces and to become angrier. Williams took a direct approach to conveying this, going after Morgan during intense oneon-one practice drills. Even before Morgan’s official IU arrival, Williams
tried to teach him what college basketball was about. Morgan took part in an open gym practice with the team while visiting, and the on-court matchup was Morgan against Williams. “I tried to rip through and he just took the ball from me and I kind of was just like, ‘Whatever,’” Morgan said. “‘He said, ‘You can’t let that happen anymore. You got to get tougher.’” The lone season Morgan spent under the tutelage of Ferrell and Williams marked not only IU’s most recent Big Ten title, but also its last appearance in the NCAA Tournament. IU started that season 4-2, including a dismal 1-2 record at the Maui Invitational with losses to Wake Forest University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Morgan said Ferrell and
Williams led the way through those trying early-season moments, issuing challenges on and off the court to players. He’s tried to follow this example over the last three seasons, providing useful instruction to teammates, although these moments often came behind the scenes. Morgan’s senior season bottomed out on Feb. 16, 2019, at Williams Arena in Minneapolis, Minnesota. IU lost to Minnesota by 21 points in an afternoon performance devoid of action, energy and hope. In the following days, Morgan and McRoberts asserted themselves more in the locker room, delivering messages about what needed to change for the rest of the season. “Juwan is a great leader,” Green said. “He’s always
speaking his mind, what he thinks and he’s always listening.” Morgan’s effort and energy toward the Hoosier cause during his career can’t be questioned, but team results remained inconsistent through it all. Blame for this falls on all involved parties —on Morgan’s two coaching staffs, on Morgan’s teammates and at times, on Morgan himself. Morgan finished his college career with 1,374 points, 757 rebounds and 138 blocked shots. Those numbers rank him 24th in scoring, 10th in rebounds and eighth in blocked shots alltime among IU players. He’s also one of only two men, the other being Steve Downing in 1971, to record a triple-double for IU after he posted a stat line of 10 points, rebounds and assists during a December 2018 game against Jacksonville University. “He does everything for us,” sophomore guard Al Durham said after that game. “I feel like, if anybody, he deserves this. It’s an honor to be a part of it with him.” But Morgan’s teams never reached college basketball’s premier postseason event with him as a starter. During Morgan’s three seasons as a key contributor, Indiana went 53-47. This includes an 0-5 mark against Purdue. This coincides with what IU Athletic Director Fred Glass called a “serious rebuild” of the men’s basketball program. Through the process that has been fitting squareshaped players into the circular pegs of Miller’s new system, Morgan molded himself into whatever his coach needed him to be on a given night. “He’s so coachable when it comes to asking him to do things that other guys don’t want to do,” Miller said. “He’s just a consummate team guy. To me, he’s one of the best players in the Big Ten in the last two years, and in our transition he’s given us a chance.” FINISH THE STORY ONLINE IDSNEWS.COM
