Students gathered around professional dancer Jun Kuribayashi in a mirrored dance studio of the School of Public Health on Wednesday as he taught a master class featuring movements from the upcoming show “Love Songs for a Lasting World.”

Dance partners smiled and laughed as they performed Kuribayashi’s choreography, which included a movement that involves lifting up another dancer over one’s head.

“I’ve done hundreds of

master classes all over the world, and I have to say they’re so open and energetic, and they bring so much enthusiasm to it,” Kuribayashi said about the students. “They’re super game, and that’s important for any project in life.”

Kuribayashi is visiting Bloomington for the debut of his choreography in the Middle Way House benefit concert, “Love Songs For a Lasting World,” and he taught master classes to contemporary dance students Monday and Wednesday.

“Love Songs for a Lasting World” is a Valentine’s Day event including a combination of music, dance, poetry, comedy and a

Indiana Democratic Party chairman John Zody formally challenged U.S. Senate candidate Todd Young’s ballot petition in Indiana’s First Congressional District on Wednesday.

After monitoring the ballot petition reports provided by the Indiana Election Commission for each candidate, the IDP noticed Young had 501 validated signatures, exactly one more than the number required by state law, Zody said at a press conference Wednesday.

“When someone is that close to the minimum, we count it,” Zody said during the press conference.

After filing an open records request, the IDP recounted Young’s signatures and found him to be short two certified signatures across the district, Zody said.

“We believe that our candidates need to make sure they get the minimum and the signatures necessary to run for this office,” Zody said. “I’m filing the petition because it’s important we hold our candidates accountable and make sure they are meeting the state law.”

Young’s campaign disputes these claims. Their office could not be reached for comment at the time of print, but released statements in press releases.

“The Democrats are playing dirty politics,” Young said in a press release. “Why? They are scared to face me in November.”

In the 2010 election, Young beat democrat Baron Hill, who is also running for Senate, and won a seat in Indiana’s 9th district for the House of Representatives.

Young’s press release cites this as the reason the IDP is “trying to disenfranchise the Hoosier voters.”

“While politicians play games, Marines fight — and the Indiana Democrat Party just picked a fight with the wrong Marine,” Young said in a press release.

Zody argued against the claim of voter disenfranchisement during the press conference.

“We would never try to disenfranchise a voter,” Zody said. “We are the Democratic Party who works to expand voting rights every day, every year and every election cycle. This is about whether a candidate met the minimum number of signatures required by state law and that’s it and that’s all.”

The Indiana election division will hear Zody’s challenge Feb. 19, with all other challenges.

Two cases of mumps have been reported at IU-Bloomington

By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu @carleylanich

Two cases of mumps are being investigated on campus, according to an email from IU Provost Lauren Robel.

The two cases are not believed to be connected and were identified two weeks apart from one another.

“IU is taking all precautions to protect its students, faculty and staff,” Robel said in the email.

Nancy Macklin, director of nursing at the IU Health Center, said she could not release personal details about the two students infected, but they have received treatment.

IU is working with the Monroe County Health Department and Indiana State Department of Health to identify and contact anyone who may have been in contact with the two students, and to prevent further transmission of mumps.

Macklin said all people who may have been in contact with the two students have received multiple emails, requesting their measles, mumps and rebuela vaccination records.

“If you did not get contacted, you do not need to worry,” Macklin said.

A known case of mumps has not been reported at IU in the last six years. However, Macklin said the two cases reported do not constitute an outbreak.

Ken Severson, media relations director for the Indiana Department

of Health, confirmed in an email that eight cases of mumps were reported statewide in 2014. Reports for 2015 have not been finalized with the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention yet.

Nationally, Indiana reports fewer cases of mumps than some states that have seen large outbreaks, he said.

IU is encouraging University members to check vaccination records and is advising community members to educate themselves on symptoms, transmission and prevention.

Robel said in the email students showing symptoms, regardless of their vaccination status, should stay home and immediately call the IU Health Center before arriving for treatment.

“We know it’s hard for students, but do the best you can to eat right, sleep right and avoid stress,” Macklin said.

While Severson said high concentrations of people in close contact with one another make university settings more susceptible for the transmission of infectious diseases like mumps, he said achieving a high rate of vaccination, conducting appropriate follow-ups with potential contacts and quickly identifying and treating those infected can help limit the spread of the virus.

CHAMPAIGN, Illinois — With 7:02 remaining in the third quarter, IU found itself leading last-place Illinois by just five points. The Hoosiers had committed four turnovers and missed their first six shots of the second half before sophomore guard Jess Walter hit a jumper for IU’s first points of the half.

It was a fitting moment for the Hoosiers to take a timeout and reevaluate Wednesday’s clash with the Illini, however IU Coach Teri Moren decided to let her team play through a dry spell.

Freshman forward Kym Royster, who has had an up-and-down first season in Bloomington, bailed her team out in the third frame. Royster scored all 10 of her points in the third quarter to lift IU past Illinois, 80-68.

IU community considers body-worn cameras

By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu @sarahhhgardner

Following incidents of highly publicized violence between police officers and the public in Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland and Ferguson, Missouri, police departments around the country, including the IU Police Department, are evaluating the use of body-worn camera technology for their officers.

For more than a year, a committee of IU representatives has studied the possibility of a body-worn camera program. The committee was commissioned last January

by John Applegate, executive vice president for university academic affairs, last January.

They should release their official decision by the end of the month, said Beth Cate, associate professor of governance and law and co-chair of the committee.

“This becomes more than an issue of balancing privacy with responsibility,” Cate said. “The cameras are a tool for enforcing the law, but if there’s a broader issue of distrust between police and the community, then what else needs to happen?”

The committee’s research included a field test of different cameras on officers last year, discussions with other universities about body-worn camera implementation and feedback from student focus

groups.

Increased surveillance could give minority student populations less reason to expect negative interactions with officers, senior Jessie Campbell said.

“As black students, we’re more prone to being seen as someone who might act violently,” Campbell said. “So officers sometimes approach blacks more intensely or aggressively. It isn’t something that’s happened to me, but it’s something I’m aware of and sensitive to.”

IUPD officers are willing to adopt body-worn cameras if the committee recommends it, IUPD Capt. Andy Stephenson said.

He said he considers it an extension of their efforts to improve recording technology throughout the department.

Dashboard cameras are installed in more of IUPD’s patrol cars every year, and cars without the cameras are not used for frequent patrolling, Stephenson said.

How and when video is taken and who can have access to the footage is one of the most pressing issues related to a camera policy, Cate said.

“Do officers keep the cameras on all the time or only in response to certain events?” Cate said. “Who can have access to raw footage?

These are questions we’re starting to grapple with, and this is where we start looking

for community input.”

A bill passed by the Indiana House on Tuesday, now under review by the Indiana Senate, would allow police departments to restrict elements of the general public’s access to video footage from body-worn and dashboard cameras.

“If the police have control of what gets released and if important footage can’t even be used, then I think the cameras are obsolete,” junior Abimael Gonzalez said. “If a policy on officer cameras is used, then it needs to be something that requires the police to release that footage within a certain amount of time.”

Other students feel knowledge of the cameras can make a difference even without access to the footage.

“It’s something that fits nicely into a system of checks and balances,” Campbell said. “It works both ways. A camera can maybe keep people interacting respectfully and keep officers from acting without thinking.”

A college environment lends itself to certain conflicts that aren’t seen in other places, senior Lauren Blackwell said. For that reason, she said she believes body-worn cameras should be used by IUPD. “You never know what you’re going to run into on a huge campus like this, especially when there are events that other people flood in,

like during Little Five,” Blackwell said. “Cameras could make everyone a little more responsible.”

These questions of accountability are more important to the committee’s decision than the logistics of body-worn camera rollout, Cate said. But the cost of

outfitting officers with cameras and the cost of storing the video footage from each camera still need to be put under careful consideration.

The committee’s final recommendation should be made within the month, Cate said.

Blackwell said she thinks

the use of cameras could be considered a step forward for civil rights.

“I firmly stand for equal treatment for everybody,” Blackwell said. “If that means the use of cameras on our police officers, then so be it, as long as it’s meant to solve a problem.”

Superintendent Trustees review potential budgets of public safety to retire this Feb.

By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu @emanmozaffar

By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu @sarahhhgardner

IU Superintendent of Public Safety Jerry Minger announced his retirement in an IU Police Department press release. After working at IU for 44 years, Minger will retire Feb. 29, at the age of 66.

During his career, he served as a patrol officer, a technical services lieutenant and administrative captain.

In 2010, Minger became the first director for the consolidated IUPD, which comJerry Minger bined police departments from all IU campuses. He was also a 2002 graduate of the FBI National Academy.

“Expectations were very high when Jerry was appointed to leadership of IUPD,” said John Applegate, executive vice president for university academic affairs, in the release. “The campus divisions of IUPD had not been under unified command for several decades, so the superintendent position was a new one.”

Minger grew up in the small town of Milan, Indiana, and moved to Bloomington to attend IU. After that, he said, he never left.

“There are certainly some heavier memories from the job,” Minger said.

“But mostly I’ll remember the friendships I made here in Bloomington. I’ve never regretted making this town my home.”

Many of Minger’s family members share his passion for police work. Minger said his father and uncle’s careers as police officers were part of what inspired him to enter the same line of work.

His sister, Kay Minger, also went into law enforcement as an officer for the Bloomington Police Department.

Minger helped IUPD adapt to technological updates over the years, according to the press release. He was the first to network a

computer system for IUPD But he said he still remembers a time when he carried quarters in case he needed to make a phone call.

Watching the community he served change over the years made his job stand out from many other police departments, Minger said.

“The population changes every year and is so dynamic, which makes a university a really unique place to practice law enforcement,” Minger said. “When I was 22, I had authority over all these people who were older than me. But now, the population is still the same age and I’ve kept growing older.”

Minger’s wide breadth of law enforcement experience made him essential for making progress within the department, said Mark Bruhn, associate vice president for public safety and institutional assurance, in the release.

After his retirement, Minger said he hopes to spend more time with his wife and visiting his four children.

But he said he also plans to stay busy with other projects when he retires. He hopes to help his wife, an attorney, bring her office up to speed with new technology.

He also plans to spend time playing with his band, the Justin-Case Band.

“I sometimes had to put music aside because of my work, but I’m hoping to return to that now,” Minger said. “I’ve already gotten calls from people I played with 20 years ago who want to start playing music together again.”

Minger’s successor is expected to be chosen this spring, according to the press release. In the meantime, IUPD Indianapolis Chief Bob True will serve as interim superintendent of public safety.

The most effective budget for IU would minimize student fees and maximize employee earnings, said MaryFrances McCourt, senior vice president and chief financial officer.

McCourt delivered a presentation of IU’s budget assumption for the 2016-17 year at the Board of Trustees meeting Feb. 4.

She provided three possible budget scenarios, along with an analysis of each in order to determine which would be the most effective upon its implementation.

“This is the first time we’ve gone to the board before completing the budget process,” McCourt said.

“Although we have already set the tuition rates for this year, there are many other expenses and plans we have to finalize.”

In order to provide a one percent salary increase for employees of the University, the tuition must rise

at an even higher level to match the higher salaries.

“The Trustees have to look at these budgets in order to discuss other parts of the meeting agenda, such as residence hall housing rates and the Bicentennial Strategic Plan report,” Board of Trustees Secretary Debbie Lemon said.

Financial officers are concerned with return on investment rates for higher education, the maximization of fiscal efficiency in existing departments and the allocation of resources in new University programs and initiatives.

The Office of the Senior Vice President and CFO generates detailed models to examine incoming revenue and how to appropriate the money into wellstructured budgets. They are constantly holding conferences and reconfiguring their findings throughout the year.

“It’s about finding efficiency, areas to cut costs and ways to better the campus,” McCourt said. “We are financially liable at the

s e n a L c i s Clas

end of the day, and our biggest driver of expenses is, of course, the people.”

The tuition increases that were set last year are currently projected to bring in roughly $15.7 million in 2017.

This will allow the University to increase the pool of money dedicated to employee salaries.

The models McCourt presented to the Board of Trustees provided a range of different scenarios of raising wages and managing appropriations.

The third plan, a 2.5 percent salary pool increase, was concluded to be the best recommendation, according to board members.

Projections said the plan’s implementation would be the most effective in the long term.

The scenario makes financial aid increases proportionate to tuition increases and prevents structural deficits.

“We focus on delivering value to employees,” McCourt said. “It isn’t about taking away from the cam-

puses by cutting costs; we want to maintain the best and brightest, improve our institution and find ways to construct plans so we can become more efficient, and re-invest the saved money.”

The budget assumptions presentation highlighted the University’s maintenance and reduction of benefit costs over the years, which is an atypical feat in today’s challenging economic landscape.

“It’s been phenomenal,” McCourt said. “We’ve been able to emphasize and restructure areas such as healthcare through our efforts, proving we can deliver value to our employees while saving money.”

Although McCourt said IU has many moments to celebrate, each fiscal year brings new challenges for its financial officers.

McCourt said the “balancing act” of bringing in revenue, appropriately allocating funds and satisfying the needs of all individuals in the university’s ecosystem will never cease to be a challenging process.

Indy Zoo calls public to help name baby giraffe

REGION

EDITORS: ALEXA CHRYSSOVERGIS & LINDSAY MOORE | REGION@IDSNEWS.COM

The Indianapolis Zoo is calling to the public to help name its new giraffe calf.

The baby giraffe was born early morning on Jan. 9, according to the zoo’s Facebook page.

“Now we need your help to name our newborn!” the post said.

Zookeepers have narrowed down names to three options, and anyone can vote for their favorite pick on Facebook. The choices are Amazu, meaning “no one knows everything,” Jengo, meaning “building” or “construction” and Mshangao, meaning “amazement” or “surprise.”

Btownmenus continues to grow as business

By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman

Mike Rolland was starving as he paced in his dorm room.

It was 2005 — his freshman year at IU. Rolland had gotten back from spring break early and none of the dining halls were open.

This is when Rolland came up with the idea for Btownmenus.

“I was starving and thinking to myself, ‘There’s no way I’m the only one who had this problem.,” Rolland said.

Rolland and his friend, fellow IU alum Peter Margulies, wanted to open a restaurant, but after talking to their families, decided against it.

Instead, the two decided to gather the menus of Bloomington restaurants and see what was out there, Rolland said.

“We weren’t sure where we were going with it, but we had the entrepreneurial drive to do something,” Rolland said.

Btownmenus officially launched in August 2005 as a menu guide and online ordering portal.

Rolland and Margulies explained Btownmenus to restaurant owners as

something completely risk free for them. Customers would place orders online through Btownmenus, which would take a small percentage per order, Rolland said.

The first restaurant to sign up was Swing-In Pizza, Rolland said. Domino’s, Papa John’s, Peach Garden and House of Hunan followed.

Dominos gave them credibility, Rolland said, because it’s a huge brand.

Running the business was difficult at first. There was a small budget to work with, and Rolland and his business partner were immature and didn’t know what managing a business meant, he said.

Bobby Norell, a senior at IU and a driver for Btownmenus, said he wanted to work for the company because it would give him autonomy.

Norell was working as a bus boy, a job he said he didn’t enjoy, and one where he was only making minimum wage.

One of his friends was a driver for Btownmenus, and Norell got the job through him.

“You’re basically your own boss, and I make my own hours,” Norell said. “I try to work 12 to 15 hours a week.”

Norell not only enjoys his job for the freedom of scheduling, but he also appreciates

the funny stories it’s given him, he said.

“At the beginning of the school year, I was delivering to this sorority girl, and she texts me, ‘If you come without your shirt on, I’ll tip you extra,’” Norell said. “She gave me $15.”

The company has

about 100 active drivers in Bloomington.

Rolland said Btownmenus has a good grasp on the community and its culture and is continuing to grow. He’s appreciative of everything IU has done, and continues to do, to support the business, he said.

“The entire university really had our back, and they’ve always been really supportive,” Rolland said. “ Though people complain there aren’t enough Eat Cheap Weeks, Btownmenus works hard to offer the best deals possible.

“We do our best to put the best product out there without breaking the students’ bank,” Rolland said. “We really just try to make sure nobody has to deal with the burden of having to be hungry, so they’ll always have the convenience of Btownmenus.”

Deweese pleads guilty to 14 felonies, including rape

By Hannah Alani halani@indiana.edu | @HannahAlani

Michael Deweese, 20, pled guilty to 14 felony charges today as part of a plea deal that has been months in the making.

Deweese’s charges include seven counts of rape, attempted murder, armed robbery, criminal confinement, burglary and resisting law enforcement. All were assisted by use of a firearm and all took place on Nov. 9, 2014, in Bloomington, just northwest of campus in an apartment complex.

Deweese pled guilty to acting as an accomplice to seven of a total of 15 charges.

One of the three criminal confinement charges out of a total of fifteen initial charges was dismissed today during the deal.

More than a year has

passed since Deweese and Vaylen Glazebrook, 20, broke into the Bloomington home of three female IU students, raped two of the 24-year-olds at gunpoint, stole their computer and cell phone and then shot at police officer William Abram.

As he waited for the judge to come out, Deweese sat quietly in his grey striped uniform with his hands folded.

He nodded at his grandfather, who was sitting a few yards away in the small courtroom.

The hearing lasted more than an hour. Judge Marc Kellams walked Deweese through the 15 charges, defining the charges’ felony status and length of sentencing.

For each count, Kellams asked Deweese if he understood the nature of the charges, to which Deweese responded, “Yes, your honor.”

Kellams went over the

defendant’s waiver of rights, confirming Deweese’s understanding that, after signing a plea deal, Deweese no longer holds the right to appeal a conviction, testify in front of a jury or subpoena the victims to testify in front of a jury.

He asked Deweese to confirm he had 11 years of education, and that he dropped out of high school as a junior.

“Yes, your honor.”

Deweese’s defense attorney Roy Graham reminded Deweese that signing the plea deal meant his story would not be heard in front of a jury, and he could not call into question the accounts of the police officer or victims.

“That’s important,” Graham said. Deweese said he understood.

Graham then went through each of the 15 charges in great detail. As Graham went over each event, he

asked Deweese to affirm his guilt and answer “guilty.”

Deweese kept his eyes focused on Graham, even though at each “guilty” response, his grandfather sniffled.

When Graham described the first four counts of rape, detailing how Glazebrook inserted his penis into the mouth, vagina and anus of one of the victims, Deweese’s grandfather removed his glasses, wiping tears from his eyes.

Graham then described the second set of rape counts in which Deweese attempted to insert his penis into the mouth, vagina and anus of the second female. Graham made a point to say, whether Deweese had “an erection or not,” he still raped the woman.

“Guilty,” Deweese said.

Though Deweese pled

guilty to acting as an accomplice in the attempted murder charge, his attorney wanted to stipulate, for the record, that he did not intend harm to the officer or to rape the women, he had only entered the home with the intent to commit armed robbery.

Prosecuting attorney Jeffrey Kehr pointed out Deweese had entered the home with a gun and therefore had the intent to use it if necessary, and according to Kehr, Deweese knew he would benefit from Glazebrook shooting at the cop.

Deweese’s response was the only full sentence he said during the entire hearing: “I would rather that he not shot at the officer.”

Graham then again went through every single charge, stipulating the facts of Deweese’s guilt.

He clarified the entire

event, from the break-in to shooting at the cop, lasted five to 10 minutes.

The now finalized plea deal satisfies both Deweese’s defense attorney and the prosecution. Kellams will not formally accept the plea deal into the court record until a probation officer conducts a pre-sentencing investigation.

Deweese’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. April 19. Some, but not all, of the sentences may be held concurrently and not consecutively, Kellams said.

Graham requested three hours of the court’s time for the sentencing hearing.

“There’s a story to be told here,” Graham said.

Kellams hesitated before agreeing to the time.

As Deweese stood to leave, he locked eyes with his grandfather, smiled and lifted his hand to say goodbye.

Mobile home fire results in elderly woman’s death

By Samantha Schmidt schmisam@indiana.edu @schmidtsam7

A 78-year-old Bloomington woman died Tuesday night when a fire engulfed her mobile home on N. Willis Drive.

The cause of the fire and the woman’s death remain under investigation by the Bloomington Fire Department and Bloomington Police Department. An autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday in Terre Haute, Indiana, BPD Sgt. Joe Crider said.

Officials do not expect any foul play was involved in the fire, said Sgt. Brandon Hudson, BPD public information officer. The woman was found dead when fire crews reached her, Hudson said, and authorities believe her cause of death was related to the fire.

On Wednesday, fire officials continued to survey the mobile home.

Fire crews initially received a report about the fire at 8:35 p.m. Tuesday, and the first truck arrived at the home five minutes later. Neighbors initially told fire officials two people lived in the residence but later remembered the woman’s husband had passed away a few months prior and she lived alone.

When the fire trucks arrived, flames were visible on both the left and right sides of the home, and more than

half the house was on fire, Hudson said.

The crews began to spray down the house, and one team attempted to enter from the left front door while additional crews entered through the back right door.

A team of firefighters in the front left door pushed into the home, but heavy fire conditions forced them to back out and control the fire before entering, Hudson said.

Once they were able to get back inside, they found the deceased woman.

Hudson could not describe the exact part of the house where the crews found her but said the area still had a significant amount of flames when the team pushed into the house.

BPD and the Monroe County Coroner were notified, and fire investigators also came to the house.

The last fire truck left the home at about 12:30 a.m., Hudson said.

Because of the nature of mobile homes, which contain a lot of metal, the woman’s home heated up quickly and was falling apart while crews searched it, Hudson said. Firefighters were even falling through the floor due to the heavy fire and damage.

“The support structures are not real strong,” Hudson said. “A mobile home will deteriorate very quickly.”

Adding insult to fatal injury

Controversial conversations WE SAY: Discuss racism through empathy Following student protest and unrest at the University of Missouri last semester, the message was clear to students, faculty and everyone across the nation: we need to talk about race.

While racism remains prevalent in various forms everywhere, some have expressed worries about feeling safe while addressing these issues.

Students and faculty alike still squirm at he thought of today’s various forms of racism. And, as long as this injustice exists, the discomfort will never truly go away.

Because of this, we, the Editorial Board, believe we need a nuanced discussion of racism to address these issues.

The discussion of racism should be integrated through

empathy into all aspects of our everyday lives, not only in a classroom.

Required classes devoted to discussing diversity can be ineffective.

Students would see those courses as requirements they only need to complete rather than getting more value from them.

In addition, some think racism always takes explicit forms like threats and slurs.

But, in reality, things are hardly so easy to detect.

For this reason, our rhetoric should incorporate methods of teaching students how to handle these “gray area” situations.

Social events and initiatives with international focuses have brought students of different races together.

But E. Andre Thorn,

director of the Multicultural Center at the University of Alaska Anchorage, has expressed concerns that students still self-segregate through these activities.

“Rather than integrating these students into the fabric of the institutions, they created separate and distinct systems for them,” he said in a New York Times article.

This means students will only remain around people and views they’re familiar with instead of new ones.

In light of these difficulties, we believe our discussions of racism need the element empathy.

Through empathy, we can understand how different people look at the world.

A lack of empathy is a much more fundamental cause of racism than the

percentage of minorities at universities.

Without empathy, we often look at our achievements, nationalities or other characteristics without proper context. This gives rise to racism we witness.

Students will also feel safer expressing their feelings while taking into account the reality of what those emotions mean.

This way, students can overcome the discomfort of “not feeling safe.”

In light of microaggressions, subconscious biases and similar cognitive tendencies, we can understand how to respond through an empathy to fight racism.

To have a better conversation, we need something deeper. We need a change in how we think.

STEVE’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

Holcomb is a great pick for Indiana Lt. Gov. Current Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann has announced she won’t seek re-election for the position under Gov. Mike Pence.

Pence announced his new running mate will be Eric Holcomb, former Chief of Staff for Sen. Dan Coats and former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels.

Ellspermann applied to become the president of the Ivy Tech system.

However, the Ivy Tech Board of Trustees isn’t expected to make their final decision until April.

To add, Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma didn’t want to call a special session of the Indiana House to confirm a replacement.

Ellspermann announced her resignation Tuesday during a joint press conference with Pence and Holcomb.

This will ease the transition if Holcomb can be confirmed before the legislature adjourns on March 14.

Holcomb, who dropped

out of the Indiana Republican Senate Primary on Monday, will also run alongside Governor Pence in the 2016 gubernatorial election.

This is a wonderful selection by Pence. Holcomb has a proven track record for attaining results.

As a former chairman of the Indiana Republican Party, Holcomb understands Hoosiers and their problems.

As Chief of Staff for Coats, Holcomb had a strong presence around the state, where he understood how Coats could best serve the citizens of Indiana.

He also worked under former Gov. Daniels, as Deputy Chief of Staff.

During his tenure, he helped Daniels make key budgetary changes, and helped the governor spur economic development across the state.

He managed Daniels’ 2008 reelection campaign, which saw Daniels de-

feat his opponent Jill Long Thompson by 17.7 percent.

He is also a member of the Indiana Farm Bureau, National Federation of Independent Business, the Indianapolis WWII Round Table and the American Legion.

Holcomb is also a veteran of the United States Navy, where he served overseas.

Holcomb knows the state like the back of his hand. He was born in Indiana and lived here his entire life, except for his service in the Navy.

Add this to his experience in this state’s politics, and you have a candidate with the experience, success, and a record of public service.

This is exactly what I’d want in a replacement for Ellspermann.

Having met both Ellspermann and Holcomb, I believe Holcomb has the personality traits for the job.

STEVEN ARANYI is a junior in history.

As the Indiana Republican Party enters a crucial year, I believe this is a political masterstroke from Pence. I believe his selection of Holcomb will pay dividends come November.

By choosing someone with Holcomb’s knowledge of Indiana politics, Pence adds to his knowledge and personal history of representing Hoosiers on a national and state level.

Pence and Holcomb knew each other before they entered politics, having been fraternity brothers during their time at Hanover College.

Hopefully, their long friendship will lead to better relations and move the state of Indiana forward in 2016 and beyond. staranyi@indiana.edu

The day after Christmas 2015, Chicago Police Department officer Robert Rialmo shot and killed 19-year-old Quintonio LaGrier and his neighbor Bettie Jones after being called on dispatch for a domestic dispute.

LaGrier reportedly had a baseball bat and was endangering his father Antonio LaGrier, as well as Officer Rialmo.

Even after the LaGrier family sued for damages and rallies broke out in Chicago, Rialmo has not been discharged from the police department.

He has been moved to a more clerical office position, The Atlantic reported.

Rialmo has also decided to sue the LaGrier estate, a move that is misguided on many levels.

The officer filed a counterclaim to the original lawsuit Feb. 5, swapping his name with Antonio LaGrier’s for the plaintiff. He is asking for more than $10 million.

The ground Rialmo stands on is even shakier than one might think.

His basis for the suit are LaGrier assaulted him and intentionally inflicted emotional distress upon him.

It may be true LaGrier charged at the officer with a baseball bat in a way that constituted assault, but this allegation does not match up with the original lawsuit against Rialmo filed in January.

The mere threat of an action pales in comparison with an action that proved to be fatal.

Additionally, this supposed assault is rather difficult to prove since Rialmo shot the only two witnesses.

As far as emotional distress goes, Rialmo’s argument has little weight.

The source of Rialmo’s

emotional distress was apparently feeling that he was forced to use deadly measures against LaGrier.

When someone signs on to the police force, they accept a position that is, by nature, met with emotional and physical stress.

Police officers know and understand this risk.

However, they are trained to handle it, as well as to diffuse violent situations instead of reaching for their guns.

In the text of his counterclaim, Rialmo says that LaGrier “knew” his actions “were extreme and outrageous.”

LaGrier also “knew” his conduct was atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community.

Rialmo calls LaGrier’s actions “willful” and “malicious.”

It seems hard to believe college-aged Quintonio LaGrier consciously decided he should ostensibly get himself killed with the intention of inflicting emotional distress on Rialmo.

The validity of his legal arguments aside, Rialmo’s counterclaim is simply unnecessary.

He was not removed from the department completely, nor was he charged with murder.

He’s not dead, which is more than what can be said for LaGrier.

This lawsuit against the LaGrier estate seems to be adding salt to the family’s wounds at worst and a desperate plea for money at best. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Superdelegates won’t save the day The magic number is 2,382.

That’s how many delegates Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton need to win to earn the Democratic nomination for November’s general election.

Elections can be won and lost with the 3,000-plus pledged state delegates, but many people are uninformed about the less-visible force capable of exerting a great deal of influence on elections: superdelegates.

Don’t be fooled by the name, superdelegates are not here to save the day.

During last week’s contest in Iowa, the popular vote was virtually split, and Clinton took home 23 delegates to Sanders’ 21.

As opposed to pledged delegates, whose decisions are at the mercy of their state’s popular vote, superdelegates may endorse whoever they please.

Superdelegates are given their distinction based on party leadership or their status as a current or former elected official.

Among their ranks for the 2016 election are former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Walter Mondale and Indiana Senator Joe Donnelly.

With his wave of grassroots support and calls for revolution, Sanders has received a boost in the last month, thanks to a strong showing in Iowa and wellreceived performances in debates. He is now neck-andneck with Clinton.

A November count of superdelegates conducted by the Associated Press suggests quite the opposite, as Clinton currently has the support of roughly 384 of them. Sen. Sanders has 29.

And to add, Sanders himself is a superdelegate. Three

percent of Bernie Sanders superdelegates are Bernie Sanders.

The idea that the opinions of state representatives are worth more than yours or mine undermines the very idea of democracy.

The two candidates are separated in the polls by a margin much smaller than thirteen-to-one, which is the margin by which they are separated in terms of superdelegates.

One could claim superdelegates’ expertise in the political arena, but it’s undeniable that the amount of influence given to them is still extremely disproportionate, regardless of how closely they know the candidates or the inner-mechanisms of government.

Superdelegates’ opinions are exponentially more influential.

As the race continues, it’s important to note superdelegates aren’t locked into decisions.

Sanders’ campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, predicted earlier this month that, should the Senator’s popular support continue to surge, valuable superdelegates will switch their allegiance to his camp.

The current process of nominating a presidential candidate favors established names and ideas and concentrates decision-making power among few.

It’s time we scrapped the system for something that better represents the ideals upon which our idea of democracy was built and does not rob the average person of a voice and an ability to make a difference. dkilcull@indiana.edu

Ferrell named to Wooden Award top 20 Yogi Ferrell was named one of the top 20 players Wednesday night in contention for the Wooden Award, given each year to the top player in college basketball.

The senior guard is averaging 17.3 points per game to go with 5.3 assists per contest.

If he keeps this pace, he will be the first IU player in 20 years to average 15 points and five assists a game.

Ferrell was not one of the original named to the mid-season watch list. The 15 finalists will be announced prior to the NCAA Tournament.

HAWKEYES COMING TO ASSEMBLY HALL IU to face toughest test so far

Hartman needs to be aggressive

By Grace Palmieri

By Michael Hughes

gpalmieri@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri

michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94

IU Coach Tom Crean described No. 4 Iowa as an unselfish team.

He described the Hawkeyes as physical — they haven’t lost a rebounding battle once this season — and he even called some of their freshmen veteran players.

They also have eight to 10 players who can cause problems for the Hoosiers.

“You can’t just get ready for one or two guys with the best teams in the league,” Crean said.

Iowa comes to Assembly Hall tonight. It’s the beginning of IU’s toughest stretch of the season, which continues Sunday against No. 8 Michigan State and next Saturday with No. 18 Purdue.

Jared Uthoff leads the Hawkeyes with 18.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.

Jared Uthoff He and Peter Jok, who averages 15.5, carry the bulk of Iowa’s scoring.

But Crean said it’s going Peter Jok to take a lot more than just defending those two.

Iowa has started the same five guys in all but one game this season; it’s that kind of consistency that is difficult to prepare for.

“They’re not putting anybody out on the court that can’t play at a high level,” Crean said. “They’re deep for a reason.”

Of all the strengths of Iowa, Crean said he doesn’t think there’s enough said about their length.

It allows them to cover a lot of ground, not have to over help on defense and play a mix of different defenses: man-to-man, zone and press.

Iowa’s length also plays on turnovers, one of the Hoosiers’ biggest weaknesses.

They’re averaging 14.5 of them so far this season. On Saturday against Penn State, IU gave up 19 points off giveaways in the Nittany Lions’ 68-63 upset of the then-No. 22 Hoosiers.

Crean said against Iowa, there will be emphasis on spacing the floor well, reversing the ball frequently and looking for the best passing angles.

“They really make it hard for you to get it into the middle,” Crean said. “And because of length, they make it hard for you to score.”

While IU opened its conference schedule with a perfect 7-0 record, so did Iowa — and they did it with a tougher schedule.

During that stretch, they beat then-No. 1 Michigan State and defeated the Boilermakers twice.

The Hawkeyes’ only Big Ten loss was a close one to No. 2 Maryland.

Sophomore guard Robert Johnson said preparing for Iowa’s depth hasn’t been much different from other games because they always try to go in ready for several strong players.

But Iowa’s size will likely prove to be problematic for IU. It’s the top offensive rebounding team in the league and second in scoring defense.

“They have a lot of length, a lot of size,” senior forward Max Bielfeldt said. “They haven’t been outrebounded in the Big Ten yet. I think it’s going to be a challenge for us.”

Collin Hartman is playing anxious and rushed. The junior forward needs to be playing comfortable and urgent, IU Coach Tom Crean said. Playing rushed means he is trying to force his offense.

Playing urgent means attacking his opponent and playing aggressive.

“I don’t think he’s struggling, I don’t think he’s aggressive enough,” Crean said.

“I don’t think he’s aggressive enough looking for his shot and he missed some the other day.”

Hartman was inserted into the starting lineup at the start of Big Ten play after an injury to sophomore guard James Blackmon Jr. Since then, he’s scored in double figures once and scored five points or less in seven of those games.

In the last four games, Hartman his 4-of-19 shots from the field and has shot 2-of-10 from behind the arc. But Crean hasn’t talked to Hartman about his shooting struggles, insisting he should shoot more.

“But you don’t want to fire it aimlessly,” Crean said. “Especially when you’ve got the ability to do what we do in the paint with penetration and post-ups.”

Getting the ball in the paint is important, Crean said, not just for Hartman but for the Hoosiers. This has been a reason for Hartman’s struggles.

The ball is not getting in the paint to open up players on the perimeter because those aren’t moving the ball enough.

Crean said in IU’s 68-63 loss against Penn State he didn’t call enough plays once the movement became stagnant.

When the ball is moving, the offense creates itself.

“When we’re moving the ball at a high rate and we’re getting those 17 or 18 assists a game, it’s amazing how good our shooting percentages are,” Crean said. “Collin’s a part of that on both ends with the passing and the shooting.”

But if Hartman has suffered from a lack of aggressiveness offensively, he may be suffering from too much aggressiveness defensively. In those 11 games he’s started in conference play, Hartman has picked up at least three fouls eight times. In four, he’s had at least four fouls and fouled out once.

But this might also be a result of who Hartman is guarding, sophomore guard Robert Johnson said. He fouled out in IU’s 82-79 loss at Wisconsin, when he was the primary defender against Nigel Hayes.

In IU’s 59-58 win against Wisconsin earlier in the season, Hartman picked up four fouls guarding Hayes and was only able to play 10 minutes.

“A lot of games he has been on versatile guys who can score a lot of different ways,” Johnson said. “He’s been doing a good job of trying to be aggressive and sometimes with that aggressiveness comes foul trouble.”

Johnson said Hartman has been watching film to see how he can better use his hands but not be forced to the bench because of foul trouble.

But if studying is the way to improve defensively, then complacency might be the answer offensively. If coaches coach a player because he’s in a slump he just becomes conscience of what is wrong and only dives into a deeper slump.

Crean said he actually doesn’t pay attention to shooting percentages or slumps. Instead, he and his staff strictly pay attention to technique.

“We coach into the details and techniques of their shot,” Crean said. “We know where they’re best from and in the span of the game we’ll try to get them in that spot. But the more you start to talk about what a guy is not doing with his shot, the more he’ll try to think about it.”

HEAR ME OUT

COLUMN: Time for OG Anunoby’s role to grow The love affair really took off Jan. 2 against Nebraska.

It skyrocketed three days later against Wisconsin. A month later, it hasn’t ended.

If anything, the love affair IU fans have with freshman forward OG Anunoby has stagnated.

It’s stagnated because a dominant defensive performance or a startling dunk is no longer an anomaly.

It’s stagnated because Anunoby simply is good, and it isn’t a surprise anymore.

So when IU Coach Tom Crean chose to start Anunoby in the second half Saturday at Penn State, and when he decided to play him for much of crunch time, it became clearer and clearer Anunoby is the type of player who deserves that kind of role.

These decisions also made it clear Anunoby should be on the floor in the moments that matter.

This is not some attack on junior forward Troy Williams.

Many teams would beg for a Troy Williams. He is one of the most talented basketball players in the

country. But is he one of the best players in the country?

That’s a different debate entirely.

Crean has often said the lineups that end games are more important than the ones that start it.

Saturday, when it came down to the crucial moments of a close game, Williams was hardly out there.

He came off the floor with over 11 minutes remaining and didn’t return until the four minute mark.

The first possession back, he attempted a 3-pointer and was removed two possessions later.

During a game in which Penn State’s Brandon Taylor was going off for 24 points, Anunoby was the guy Crean said he could trust.

“Probably should have played him more,” Crean said. “He was the one guy that was really competing and trying to keep him from getting the ball.”

He said it’s hard for anybody to guard a player of that size and strength one-on-one, but Anunoby battled through the challenge.

It’s also important to note this isn’t some iso-

lated incident, just maybe the first time action was explicitly taken.

Look back to Jan. 26 at Wisconsin. There was a stretch of six straight possessions where Williams took the ball, hardly looked at any teammates and drove to the basket to make his own play. The tragedy of this scenario was that he scored eight points in this span, and people saw it as impressive. It wasn’t good basketball.

A few days later, Crean remembered the stretch. He said it was a result of Williams reading situations.

Then there’s Feb. 2 in a big win at Michigan, when Williams had four of the team’s 12 turnovers.

Williams is absurdly talented. There are moments where it seems to all come together, like Jan. 19 against Illinois. But those moments are few and far between. His offensive rating, according to kenpom.com, is eighth among IU’s primary nine rotation members.

Anunoby, on the other hand, hardly makes mistakes. He plays an efficient offensive game that doesn’t need the ball,

BRODY MILLER is a junior in journalism.

yet he still has the shooting ability to knock down 3-pointers and keep a defense honest.

Most importantly, he can lock down opponents’ best offensive player at nearly any position.

It’s funny how the things that wow people about Anunoby are often the same that impress them with Williams. The riveting fast breaks and putback dunks that ignite Assembly Hall are common traits.

Maybe if Anunoby is out there for Williams-like minutes his flaws would come out more. Maybe this is all completely wrong. He is a freshman and it’s February.

Who knows if he could even handle the greater physical toll so early in his career.

But when it comes down to who I trust more in a crucial moment, like Saturday at Penn State, I choose OG Anunoby. brodmill@indiana.edu

Buss also missed all four of her shots to start the second half.

Three of Royster’s four baskets were made while being fouled inside. Royster converted a pair of 3-point plays to keep the Hoosiers afloat in the third quarter.

The freshman has had strong moments this season, particularly in a 17 point, eight rebound outing at Minnesota earlier in the year.

“It just means she listened,” Moren said. “Coach Rhet and I both had her in the office and talked to her about her consistency and how terrific she has been from time to time. There are times where Kym doesn’t show up.”

There have also been games where Royster struggles to find playing time within a crowded rotation. She has been held scoreless in

“This is about not giving into your fear, basically,” Strout said.

“Love Songs for a Lasting World” marries what is happening at the academic level with what is happening in the community, Strout said.

The event raises awareness of domestic violence.

“It’s really a testament to the power of music and the power of dance seven games this season.

“It’s been kind of like a rollercoaster,” Royster said. “I haven’t shown consistency.

Before this game, I’ve talked with the coaches about my consistency. I think that’s what motivated me tonight to play as hard as I did. I just have to go into every game with consistency.”

The Hoosiers’ win against the Illini was the second road win of the season. IU has had its struggles with playing on the road in the past, but Moren said the team’s first Big Ten road win since 2014 against Northwestern earlier this season gave the Hoosiers confidence.

“This is a group that has a little bit of confidence.,” Moren said. “I think the Northwestern game certainly showed us that we can win on the road, and then we go home and beat two really good teams.”

been rigorous,” Severson said.

“Additionally, we hope that notifying the campus community will help prevent spread by ensuring individuals are aware of symptoms and know what they can do to protect themselves.”

Mumps is a respiratory disease spread by close contact within a range of three feet, Macklin said.

Citing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robel identified fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness and loss of appetite as symptoms. Mumps can also be characterized by tender salivary glands under the ears on one or both sides.

According to Robel’s email, mumps are spread mainly through sneezing and coughing. The infection can spread any time from two days before symptoms appear and five days after the symptoms’ onset.

Mumps’ symptoms typically do not appear until 16 to 18 days after infection, and because mumps is a “mild illness,” some infected by the virus may not experience any symptoms, according to the email.

Macklin said the virus does not live outside the body very long and serious issues and complications from the

infection are rare, with only a 1 to 3 percent rate, according to the email.

The best way to prevent mumps is to be vaccinated with two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. However, those who have been vaccinated can still contract the virus.

The vaccine is only considered to be about 80 percent effective.

“The MMR vaccine is the best prevention possible,” Macklin said. “But it is not a perfect vaccine.”

Given the low number of cases reported, Severson said there is a relatively low risk of transmission from day-to-day activities.

He added most cases of mumps reported in the United States have unknown sources of transmission and can be contracted via out-of-state sources or international travel.

“Vaccination is the best way to protect from mumps,” Severson said. “We would highly recommend students who are traveling, especially internationally, to check the recommendations for their destinations and ensure they have the appropriate vaccines.”

Students are encouraged to contact the IU Health Center at 812-855-5002 during office hours, or at 812-330-3790 after hours, if symptoms are believed to be present.

My spiritual journey to find Yeezus

By Lexia Banks @LexiaBanks

I was raised in a virtuous home graced with the vocals of R&B gods.

We prayed to Marvin Gaye every morning, the Temptations every night.

We had Wednesday bible study with Kool & the Gang and worship every Sunday with Luther Vandross.

I was set on the righteous path to loving R&B and hip-hop early and it looked as though my future would be bright and promising.

But like Eve, I stumbled upon my forbidden fruit and was lured from the holy path into the darkness of angsty alternative rock. It would be years until I saw the light again, and I never thought I’d be brought back by Yeezus himself.

For years I told myself I hated Kanye West.

Given, I had a bad first impression.

Though I had been pretending to hate his songs like “Gold Digger” and “Stronger” for years, I didn’t know who Kanye actually was until he interrupted Taylor Swift’s 2009 VMA acceptance speech.

Now I finally had a face to attribute

to these songs the scene trend told me I wasn’t allowed to like and all I knew about him was that he was an asshole.

The more I learned about Kanye the worse our relationship became.

I’ve always hated the use of the N-word. Kanye and Jay-Z became the face of advocacy to reclaim the term.

What they saw as a way of taking that power away from white people, I saw as an increase in white people using the word. They used Kanye as their “black friend” card.

As far as I was concerned, he was setting us back by decades.

But my biggest reason for hating Kanye had more to do with myself.

At 12 years old, I was sporting some serious internal racism and I refused to allow myself to like anything associated with black people. This meant altering what I wore, the way I talked and the music I could listen to.

The devil had me in his grasp and it looked like the end of the line for me.

And then I went to college and met a special group of white people. Like angels they came to me in my time of need and they played the legendary gospel tunes of “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.”

LATE REGISTRATION (2005)

Breaking down Kanye’s social media persona, which is just as confusing as you would expect.

We could write about his whole album, about the pure joy of “Touch the Sky,” which gave Lupe Fiasco his big break, and about how there wasn’t a sophomore slump for Kanye. But I’d rather talk about “Hey Mama,” the most beautiful and heartfelt ode from Kanye to his mom. Go listen to it, and then give your mom a call.

At first, I refused to listen. I wasn’t ready to be saved yet, and they knew I would have to come to Yeezus at my own time.

Little did we know, that time was approaching.

Sept. 21, 2015 was the day my life changed forever.

I was riding the bus home, and I chose to listen to “Monster.”

I was nodding my head waiting for Nicki Minaj’s verse when I heard the line, “My presence is a present, kiss my ass.”

I replayed the song to hear it again and again, and every time I did the pure exhaustion with human beings emanating from that single line resonated stronger within me.

The clouds parted and the sun rained down on me like the grace of God, and I felt at peace for the first time in years as I accepted Yeezus into my heart.

A letter to Kanye Kardashian-West

By Leah Johnson @byleahjohnson

Dear Mr. West, It’d be easier for me to write this piece as an ode to Beyoncé rather than an open letter to you.

Beyoncé is the woman who used her time on a national stage to inspire black folks to feel unapologetic about their heritage and their appearance, and to continue to challenge authority.

Today, Beyoncé is that artist for me.

A few years ago, though, I would have said the same for you.

When people talk about Old Kanye versus New Kanye, I think less in terms of albums but rather in terms of Katrina-era and Kardashian-era. I think this is more indicative of your life and what will ultimately be your legacy.

One day, your heroes became white men.

You admired Steve Jobs, Walt Disney. You took off the Louis Vuitton backpack you used to wear and fashioned it into a lifestyle, pushing your way into fashion houses and runways, crying alienation when they wouldn’t let you in. When they didn’t give you a key to the boy’s club. You gave a

Kanye’s first studio album was arguably one of his strongest. Before he was Yeezus, and sang a song that featured God himself, he had the hit “Jesus Walks,” showing a more humble ‘Ye than the one we currently see. Other standout tracks include “Through the Wire” and “Family Business.”

GRADUATION (2007) With a more electronic feel than the past albums (though nowhere near how electronic he would soon go), “Graduation” marked the end of the school-themed trilogy. An oftenoverlooked but classic song, “Everything I Am,” shows some real honesty. “I’ll never be no picture-perfect Beyonce,” Kanye sings. Same here, ‘Ye.

808S & HEARTBREAK (2008) Released after Kanye’s mother died and he broke off an engagement, “808s and Heartbreak” is 52 minutes of emotional outpouring. You probably didn’t like it when you first listened to Kanye bare his auto-tuned soul. It’s been eight years. Listen again. Forgive us, Yeezy, for we knew not what we mocked.

MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY (2010) “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” is an eclectic masterpiece. It mixes elements of rap, R&B and classical music to create a sound particular to Kanye West. It starts with the now classic vocal layering of “Dark Fantasy” and ends what is basically a remix of the Gil Scott Heron spoken word poem “Comment #1.”The middle covers a lot of ground as West is aided by guests like Jay Z and John Legend.

listen to “The College Dropout” on wax. I bought your records and recited your lyrics to the envy of all of my elementary school friends.

I, with what little knowledge I had of politics or social inequality, somehow knew that when you said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” it was truth.

I regarded your word as law. And SEE OPEN LETTER, PAGE 12

What do you get when you combine the lyrical genius Kanye West and the “master of flow” Jay Z? You get a cinematic look into the rapper’s thoughts on sexuality and fidelity in “No Church In The Wild.” You get overarching themes of race, perseverance and success communicated through hard-hitting lyrics and laced with complex melodies.

You get “Watch The Throne” — a collaboration and a masterpiece.

YEEZUS (2013) “Yeezus” begins with a technological cascade and ends with an eye toward love. The album’s best stretch sees Kanye darting from prison industry critiques to a top-shelf sex jam and landing on one of his greatest songs, a deconstruction of ego and wealth assisted by a Nina Simone sample.

But the album’s mission statement, swathed in distortion, is there in opener “On Sight” — “He’ll give us what we need – it may not be what we want.”

The Art Institute of Chicago is renting out a replica of Vincent van Gogh’s bedroom to promote its show of van Gogh’s paintings and drawings, according to artnews.com.

The artwork featured in the show depict van Gogh’s bedroom, and the replica room for

rent is inside the art museum.

The cost for a night in a replica of the PostImpressionist’s room is $10.

It can be rented on Airbnb. The “room will make you feel like you’re living in a painting,” according to the Airbnb website.

As a token member of the millennial generation, I believe representation matters for everyone, and literature is a medium that can’t be left out of that philosophy.

Some of the most crucial lessons from my childhood were learned through the protagonists of my favorite stories and the lives they led.

As I’ve grown up, I’ve stopped taking every word Nancy Drew said so seriously, but I can still easily list nine or ten female main characters that taught me some sort of lesson, no matter where their stories took them.

Why is it, then, that literature aimed primarily at women, or “chick lit,” has a definite stigma surrounding it?

I didn’t need to do any research to know the genre name has a negative connotation and the often brightcolored, gaudy book covers are stuck on their own shelf in Barnes & Noble, far away from the memoirs and sports novels.

Chick lit generally has women as its primary audience and is consequently a story following a woman or group of women.

Now, I’m confused about the negative connotation, because stories about women, written by a woman, for an audience of women, sound amazing.

Some argue the genre earned this reputation because the stories are all fluff.

Wrong.

Women’s literature, which I think is a better name for this genre, encompasses subjects from domestic violence to coming of age, from romance to divorce.

These serious subjects are important and a reality that many women experience; from my experience reading about things that have happened in my life, I can imagine that reading about them even in a fictional context can be comforting to some women.

So while I think these heavier topics are ones that

Performers play "STOMP" Wednesday at IU Auditorium. STOMP is a percussion performance using matchboxes, brooms, cans, and lighters, started in Brighton, UK, 1991.

STOMP performs at IU Auditorium

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

STOMP began when a man walked on the stage of the IU Auditorium with a broom.

At first, he simply swept the floor of the stage, but eventually the broom became a musical instrument.

He tapped the broom against the floor, creating a rhythm.

Soon, other people with brooms joined. Performers who were previously sitting among audience members

rushed out from their seats.

STOMP, a production featuring a combination of percussion, dance and visual comedy, had performances yesterday and Tuesday.

The performers in STOMP use everyday objects as percussion instruments.

“I’ve always heard great things about STOMP,” sophomore Kadie Freeman said.

“I’m really excited to see this show live and see all the music and the things that go with it.”

Freeman said she and her family were excited to get

tickets, and 14 of her family members attended the event.

The cast members’s clothes appeared worn and stained, and as they swept the floors with their brooms, a dust-like substance spread across the stage.

In one section of the show, the performers clapped and tap-danced at an accelerating pace, and the audience members clapped in response.

In addition to brooms, they used ordinary objects like trashcans, matchboxes

and pipes as instruments.

The performers communicated without words, using body language and facial expressions to draw laughter from the audience.

Throughout the performance, the spotlights illuminated the cast members.

In one part of the show, the lighting projected the shadows of the dancing cast members across the walls surrounding the audience.

Audience member Elle Earhart, 49, said she was looking forward to seeing the performance with her son.

“It’s very unique,” Earhart said. “I’ve never seen anything like it, so I’ve always wanted to see it.”

For freshman Tyeisha Fordham, it was her first time seeing STOMP live, but she said she has seen videos of their productions before.

“I’m really looking forward to the seeing all the passion of the players,” Fordham said. “That’s the best part about STOMP — how passionate they are. I think it’s incredible. The kinds of things they can do are just insane.”

IU group to present ‘Vagina Monologues’

By Erica Gibson ecgibson@indiana.edu @erica_clare05

In New Jersey, they call it a twat.

Pussycat, coochie, cooter, monkeybox. The IU Feminist Student Association’s production of Eve Ensler’s 1996 play, “The Vagina Monologues,” begins with a list of nicknames for the vagina, euphemisms for the most taboo part of the female anatomy.

“It’s a show everyone needs to see,” Monologues Director and IU junior Kayla Tillisch said. “It speaks to everyone.”

“The Vagina Monologues” is a collection of monologues inspired by interviews Ensler conducted with thousands of women about their vaginas. The monologues range from humorous to dramatic, covering topics such as pubic hair, rape and masturbation.

“They’re all important,

and all very different,” Tillisch said. “The show is 20 years old, but it’s still very relevant.”

The FSA’s production is part of the V-Day Campaign, an annual movement started

by Ensler to combat violence against women. Every Valentine’s Day weekend, Ensler gives free access to her script to productions that agree to donate their proceeds to local charities.

Ticket sales from the FSA’s performance, as well as

proceeds from the sale of posters, T-shirts and chocolate vulva pops, will benefit the Bloomington Middle Way House.

Although the FSA puts on “The Vagina Monologues” every year, Tillisch said each iteration of the show is different.

“There’s totally new voices, new perspectives,” she said. “Last year’s production was more minimalist, while this year’s is more

Director Jeremy Kagan to speak at IU Cinema lecture

By TJ Jaeger tjaeger@indiana.edu | @tj_jaeger

After more than 40 years in the film industry, Jeremy Kagan said he is at the point in his life where he values teaching as both a way to pass on his knowledge and as a personal learning process.

Kagan, an internationally recognized director in both film and television, will hold a guest lecture as part of the Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker Lecture Series.

The lecture is titled “Keys to Directing: The Near Death

and Life of Jeremy Kagan.”

The first part of the title comes from the title of his latest e-book, “Keys to Directing,” Kagan said.

“I am in the process of writing a live book,” he said.

“I use the word ‘live’ book because it is constantly changing. What makes it special, in terms of literally teaching people the craft of film directing, is that it has over 200 clips that are embedded within the document itself.”

Kagan is able to add and remove video clips whenever he wants, which keeps

career, Kagan said all it takes to make a film is motivation.

To motivate his students, he said he frequently asks them why they want to make films in the first place.

“We live in a time where the technology is immediately available,” he said. “If you have an iPhone and a computer, you can make a movie. If you really are serious about wanting to make moving images, go make moving images. You don’t have to be in Hollywood, you can do it anywhere.”

Beyond his Primetime Emmy, Kagan has won multiple awards from various film festivals, including the Montréal World Film Festival and the Paris Film Festival. Kagan has also served as the Artistic Director of Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute and has also been on the National Board of the Directors Guild of America.

Despite his various awards, Kagan said he does not define success as the number of awards he has won.

“We live in a society that stresses success as achievements that can be looked on metrically, that can be accounted,” he said. “I feel that the issue of success itself is a problem, because it always means you don’t have it.

You’re going after it.”

Because of his philosophy on life and death, Kagan said he defines success as living in the moment.

“The question becomes, ‘Can you be truly present to appreciate the miracle of your life right now?’” he said. “That’s real success.

For me, success is being able to experience the present so fully that you feel connected and radiating.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 death shifted.

“For me, this experience taught me that though your physical incarnation ends, your consciousness doesn’t,” he said. “You really don’t die and end, but you transform.”

Despite the title, Kagan said he thinks his lecture will revolve around his recent research with the University of Southern California’s Change Making Media Lab. As a tenured professor at USC, Kagan said he has been working with the Change Making Media Lab to look at how media motivates behavioral change and awareness in audiences.

Specifically, he said the group is looking at what is more effective in promoting behavioral change: informational documentaries or narrative dramas.

“I was thinking that during this particular presentation, I’d show clips from two of our projects that reflect that issue, so the audience here can compare how this works in their own minds,” he said.

Kagan has been working in film and television since the 1970s, with notable directorial credits in 1977’s “Heroes,” 1978’s “The Big Fix” and 1981’s “The Chosen.” In 1996, Kagan won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for directing an episode of “Chicago Hope.”

Currently, Kagan said he is finishing up editing his latest feature film, “Shot,” which centers on three people affected by gun violence in America.

Tillisch individualized this year’s show by inviting all of the cast members to choose songs to play during transitions between monologues.

Selections included “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper and “Run the World (Girls)” by Beyonce.

Tillisch was inspired to direct “The Vagina Monologues” based on her previous experience in the play.

“The show impacted me a lot when I was in it last year,” Tillisch said. “I was never outwardly feminist. I never considered talking about my vagina, but the show made me realize it’s silly to think it’s embarrassing.”

Tillisch said that before

acting in “The Vagina Monologues,” she thought the show was radical and one-sided.

She said she hopes to combat the play’s stigma by approaching it with authenticity so that the monologues are sympathetic.

“You may not agree with the politics behind it, but watching the play is an experience that allows you to learn and grow,” Vernon said.

“Bridget Jones’s Diary,” one of my all time favorite books, is both an adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride & Prejudice” (Austen is the OG chick lit author) and a chronicle of the ups and downs of one woman’s love life over the course of a year.

On the other hand, could we consider “Gone Girl” chick lit? It meets all the criteria – it has a female author, the central character is a woman and it focuses on important events in her life, chiefly her relationship with her husband.

Expanding your view of the chick lit genre as more than feel-good tales of ro-

Kanye West: Tweeter extrodinaire

By Austin Faulds | @a_faulds9615

o first thing’s first: Kanye West is a master tweeter.

I can’t say he’s the best when Tila Tequila is still tweeting about being a bio weapon/clone/alien, or when she practically invented the whole #FlatEarth gag. However, I can give Yeezy credit for practically revolutionizing Twitter as a playground for the loonies.

“French fries are the Devil,” he once tweeted.

Indeed.

Seriously, where would such scholarly and respectful figures like Jaden Smith, Gucci Mane and Donald Trump be without the total hysteria and brilliance of West’s wonderland of a Twitter account?

His perfectly loathsome blend of stupidity, impulsiveness, inconsistency, misogyny, anti-Semitism and racism have brought forth a renaissance in the realm of social media. It is no longer a means of communication; it is Wonka’s Golden Ticket to a chocolate factory of hysterically ludicrous idiocy.

Can we truly be surprised about any of this though? We just gave a practically anonymous link to the world to the guy who wrote a song called “I Am a God.” We had to see this coming.

Need proof? On Tuesday, he posted a rather ambiguous, yet unsurprisingly

S

» YEEZUS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 Kanye’s albums are the books of his scripture and when I listened carefully, he had a lot to teach about who he was and also about myself.

Real talk: the confidence Kanye gave me is insurmountable.

I don’t just mean general confidence, which Kanye is the best at teaching. His motto is arrogance over modesty and if you listen to “Last Call” you

disgusting tweet: “BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!!!!!!!”

Honestly, there’s no other way around it: this guy really hates women.

If the music video for “Monster” or lyrics like “I keep it 300, like the Romans/300 bitches, where’s the Trojans?,” or his comments about former girlfriend Amber Rose, aren’t enough then this should do it.

Despite the fact that all evidence points to the fact that Cosby committed rape not once, but multiple times, West still seems to find it in his heart to blatantly dismiss all of the victims who had the courage to come forward with one single tweet.

Of course, people across Twitter united to confront West for his sexism.

Comedian Sarah Silverman tweeted, “Kanye!! You can’t be for real. FIFTY WOMEN. With nothing to gain thanks to a statute of limitations ON RAPE. Oy.” Funny or Die writer Bill Eichner tweeted, “Are we sure Kanye isn’t just a character from Zoolander?”

And so on. It’s more than surprising how notable feminists like Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian can allow themselves to associate with a man built of so much sexism — it’s baffling.

I’m not going to pretend like West is the only rap icon to show this level of misogyny. The rap music video is legendary for its objectification of

can’t fault him.

It was the racial confidence he lent me that has made the biggest difference in my life.

Kanye has a strong message of black pride and the way it shaped my racial identity at 21 has me permanently indebted to him.

As progressive as Kanye is, he actually brought me back to my roots. I’m on the righteous path again and I can raise my hands to Marvin and Luther again. So thank you, Yeezus.

Amen.

» OPEN LETTER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8

maybe that was where I went wrong.

You see, Kanye, at the end of the day, you’re just a man. You live and breathe, you say things you regret, you take them back, you create, you destroy and you will die as humans do.

Somewhere along the line, I think even you forgot you were mortal.

Somehow, between the

women. Rock music has shown it too, especially in the ’80s.

However, none of these contenders have expressed interest running for office in 2020, and given that Trump just won the primaries in New Hampshire, West seems to have a good chance.

Fortunately, not all of West’s tweets are this hateful. Sometimes, his social media can actually be beneficial to our entertainment.

Take for example West’s short-lived Twitter feud with Wiz Khalifa.

It started with Khalifa reacting to West’s decision to change the title of his upcoming album to “WAVES.” Later that day, Khalifa tweeted,

gleam of Kardashian and the check from Adidas, you began to think you were impervious to criticism, that you were above reproach. You claimed you were an OG, the greatest artist of all time and in the process, somehow became more “Twitter fingers” than Meek.

The thing is, though, you attacked a man’s (ex) wife and child on Twitter the other day and that’s where I drew the line. You

“Hit this kk and become yourself.”

West, being the paranoid egomaniac he is, thought that “kk” meant “Kim Kardashian,” so he subsequently blitzed Khalifa on the social media page with atomic bombs of 140 characters or less.

You know, besides calling or texting him like a normal human being.

Later, it was discovered that “kk” actually was a slang term for marijuana.

Who would’ve thought?

Regardless, we can all still sit back and laugh at the rodeo clown of hiphop while he continues to entertain us with his reality-TV-level of naivety.

“Sometimes I get emotional over fonts,” he once tweeted.

Same, Kanye. Same.

slut-shamed a woman for the same qualities you once loved her for.

You continue to praise your non-black wife for the traits she appropriated from us, black women, while simultaneously implying we should be ashamed for the same sensuality, the same autonomy Kim seems to have.

But then again, you told us a long time ago that “when he get on, he’ll leave your ass for a white girl.” So

perhaps I’m to blame for believing otherwise.

Do you still talk about Chicago the way you once did, in terms of resilience and struggle and beauty in a world that aims to erase it? Do you still think about the kid who wasn’t supposed to make it past 25?

Is that narrative still in you?
