Hoosiers open season, win 34-13 against FIU By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @TaylorRLehman
The Big Ten’s best offense from 2015 had a tough time finding its way Thursday night as IU defeated Florida International, 34-13, in Miami, Florida. The defense scored nine of IU’s first 12 points before the offense could muster a touchdown, and that touchdown came in the fourth quarter. But in the fourth quarter, the Hoosiers scored 15 points, putting the lead far out of FIU’s reach and
cementing the team’s first victory of the season. Less than half an hour before the start of the game, IU announced that six of its players were suspended for the opening game, including junior wide receiver Simmie Cobbs, a 1,000-yard receiver in 2015. With a new quarterback in junior transfer Richard Lagow on a road game, it came as no surprise that IU Coach Kevin Wilson decided to run the ball 51 times. What did come as a surprise against a Conference-USA oppo-
nent in FIU is that IU punted the ball five times and turned it over on downs once, while the defense scored 16 of its 34 points. Wilson said he wanted the running backs to carry a lot of the load throughout the season, and the group got plenty of opportunities to do that Thursday night. Junior running back Devine Redding carried the ball 22 times for 136 yards, while freshman running back Devonte Williams and sophomore Mike Majette split the majority of the carries behind the junior. The two backups combined
for 78 yards on 17 carries, while Majette caught two passes for 54 yards out of the backfield. Lagow didn’t take many dropbacks, not as many as former Hoosier Nate Sudfeld, which was to be expected, Wilson said earlier in the week. Lagow went 18-for-27, passing for 240 yards and a touchdown, the first of his career. The junior also ran for a touchdown on a 6-yard zone-read. The quarterback spread the wealth to several receivers, as nine receivers caught passes, sophomore Nick Westbrook catching the

most with six for 70 yards. Junior tight end Danny Friend caught the only passing touchdown, the first of his career. No other receiver outside of Westbrook caught more than two passes. SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 6

MOVES Fairview Elementary brings show choir to kids
The room is filled with kids and chaos — until the piano starts playing. In the 2010-11 academic year, Fairview Elementary School implemented the national school reform Artful Learning orchestrated by the Leonard Bernstein Center. The program has various electives, including violin, yoga and dance classes, offered to the students. One new program that specifically engages students is the show choir class,
Woodland adapts to staff shortage By Emily Miles elmiles@iu.edu | @EmilyLenetta
Sophomore Libby Whiting did not customize her pasta Wednesday evening. Once she had reached the front of the line for Mangia, the Italian option at the Restaurants at Woodland, she learned Pasta da Vinci had been replaced by five signature bowls. As this was Whiting’s first time at the Forest Quad dining area this semester, she did not witness the lines on the first day of classes, when Woodland saw almost 7,000 transactions. “We always expect it,” Woodland Dining Manager Linda McCoy said. “But we don’t have the staff to cover that.” While a full staff ranges from 180 to 200 people, just more than a quarter of that had been hired by Aug. 22. Many more student employees waited in the processing stage, but there weren’t enough on the floor. To make matters more difficult, very few of the hired staff wanted to work that hectic first day. Because of the shortage, Woodland Assistant Manager Albana Rrashi helped at Romaine for the whole first week. “It’s like when you’re at home and you have those big dinners,”
taught by Richard Baskin and Brennan Wilder, local educators through Bloomington Expressive Arts Training. “Let me see those step touches!” Wilder said as the kids hopped around the room to the piano playing in the background. The show choir classes meet during regular school hours as elective classes for the students to have in their daily schedule. The students are all between fourth and sixth grade. Wilder said the class has come a long SEE CHOIR, PAGE 6
Antenna Man makes Bloomington debut By Katie Chrisco kchrisco@ius.edu | @KatieChrisco

BloomingBerry is one of the Restaurants at Woodland that will face reduced hours due to an RPS staff shortage at Forest Quad.
she said. “Unless everybody helps, one person is never going to make everything in time.” Since then, Woodland has hired more students, lines have diminished and various options have opened more frequently. However, the dining hall is not operating identically to last year, and McCoy said they will likely still close some food options here and there during the coming month. “We’re not getting students coming to us and wanting to work
as much,” McCoy said. “We just have to get through this and get our students hired. We’re almost there.” By “there,” she means the full level of staffing Woodland has achieved in past years. In fall 2013, the dining hall’s late soft opening and modified hours combined with the excitement of a new dining option. “There were long lines,” McCoy said. “But no one cared.” SEE FOREST, PAGE 6
The lead singers of the bands Antenna Man and Gus Moon grabbed a beer as they watched The Lean and Plenty finish its Thursday night show at the Player’s Pub. The sun began to set as the two admitted they weren’t sure if the other members of their bands had arrived at the venue yet. In a few hours, they, too, would take the stage. “We might have to form a super group,” Gus Moon singer Anthony Mullis said. The show was part of Antenna Man’s regional tour before the release of its debut album “Elaine Jr.” later this year. Lead guitarist Kendall Ludwig previously played a show at Player’s Pub with another band. “We knew we wanted to stop through Bloomington,” Mark Wolven, the face of the band, said. “And he knew the venue so it just kind of happened that way.” Wolven said right now the goal for Antenna Man is to get its name out to the public.

“We want to be able to go back to all the towns that we hit (on tour) and actually have people show up for the album,” he said. Formed in 2014, the band is relatively new. The latest addition to the group, keyboardist Morgan Evans, joined the band this spring. At just 17, Evans is the youngest band member. “I work at a vintage music shop, and one of the guitar teachers there helped record the album, so that’s kind of how I became involved in the band,” Evans said. Evans said he enjoys playing live music and was excited for the show. Although the band played unreleased songs from its upcoming album, Wolven said the songs are not new. “All the songs existed,” he said. “We’re basically just putting arrangements to maybe 60 or 70 songs that I’ve written over the years.” Wolven said he doesn’t really consider himself a writer.
