Initial not guilty pleas in Posso case By Annie Aguiar aguiara@iu.edu | @annabelaguiar

Editor's note: This story contains details of child neglect and abuse some readers might find disturbing. In the last days of 12-year-old Eduardo Posso's life, he told his 9-year-old sister he just wanted to juggle and be free. Instead, he grew weaker and more emaciated, restrained with chains and made to wear an electric dog shock collar in the bathtub of room 108 at the Economy Inn his father Luis Posso, 32, and stepmother Dayana Medina Flores, 25, were staying in with him and his three siblings, according to a probable cause affidavit. Last Friday, at 2:52 a.m., Posso carried an unconscious Eduardo into the emergency room of IU Health Bloomington Hospital. Thirteen minutes later, he was pronounced dead. A week after Eduardo's death, Posso and Flores appeared in court to enter preliminary pleas of not guilty at an initial hearing at the Charlotte T. Zietlow Justice Center in downtown Bloomington. The pleas will become formal pleas of not guilty within 20 days unless Posso and Flores enter differently. Both are charged with murder in addition to neglect of a dependent, criminal confinement and battery. They are being held without bail and were both assigned public defenders. Posso and Flores worked as promoters for Cirque Italia, travelling state to state handing out fliers for the circus. Posso told Judge Marc Kellams the family lived from paycheck to paycheck. Flores, who only speaks Spanish, was accompanied by interpreter Lisa Hernandez for her initial hearing. Flores sniffled as she walked into the courtroom. Flores told police Eduardo became sick May 23, eventually becoming too weak to feed himself or form coherent sentences. Early in the morning of May 24, Eduardo was cold to the touch, unresponsive and wasn’t breathing. Posso and Flores decided then to send him to the hospital with Posso. At the hospital, Posso was unable to explain what was wrong with Eduardo, only describing him as skinny. At a Tuesday press conference, Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office Lt. Jennifer Allen said Eduardo had 0% body fat. He weighed about 50 pounds. Posso and Flores were sent to the sheriff ’s office for interviews based on the condition of Eduardo’s body. He was severely emaciated and covered in bruises, lacerations and ulcers. A later autopsy revealed signs of starvation, neglect and physical abuse. Posso admitted to spanking Eduardo with a leather belt, a flip flop and his hand in an interview with police at the hospital, but denied withholding food from the child. The family is originally from Florida, and Flores told police they have no permanent address and moved from place to place every couple of weeks for work and lived out of hotel rooms. The family had been living at the Economy Inn for about a week. Police searched Posso’s cell phone, hotel room and car. A text in Spanish sent between Posso and Flores’ cell phones on April 16 was translated to read, “Eduardo was almost out of the chains.” A search of the hotel room discovered metal chains, cordage, restraint cuffs, padlocks, an electric shock dog collar and a wireless surveillance camera. The items were found underneath the box springs of one of the two beds in the hotel room. The camera had been clamped to the towel bar inside the bathroom, acSEE POSSO, PAGE 3

V CTOR Lilly King, Cody Miller both win in groundbreaking FINA Champions Swim Series in Indianapolis By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

As the overhead lights dimmed, colored lights planted around the IU Natatorium at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis began to flash. Music blasted around the arena as the massive LED stood scoreboard behind the starting blocks. It was a spectacle different from anything Olympic gold medalist and IU professional group swimmer Cody Miller had seen. “Nothing like that has ever been done before,” said Miller, who graduated from IU in 2014. “It was a spectacle, it was a show, and goddamn, it was a lot of fun.” Miller and professional teammate Lilly King, who will graduate IU in December, excelled during the FINA Champions Swim Series in Indianapolis in an event that showcased a potential future of swimming to the viewers.

“We’re going to be racing each other a lot more now, especially that I’m pro.” Lilly King, swimmer

Miller won the 100 meter breaststroke with a time of 59.29 seconds. This is Miller’s second event back after injuries kept him out of competition for a year. Miller won the 100 breaststroke with a career-best time of 59.24 in Bloomington at the TYR Pro Series. “For me to put up a time that is very competitive and be top 10 in the world again is a weight lifted off my shoulders in a sense,” Miller said. “I feel good. I went a full year without being competitive. It’s obviously good to be competitive again.”

“In previous years nothing like this existed, and no one ever watched swimming.” Cody Miller, swimmer

The event this weekend marked King's second as a professional, and her second oppotunity to win prize money. "That makes it a little bit better when I win," King said. It also was King's first chance in two years

to race Russian Yulia Efimova. The last time the two faced at the 2017 World Championships, King beat her and set a world record in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:04.13 . They had a rivalry born at the 2016 Olympics stemming from Efimova’s history of steroid use. Whatever tension there appeared to have cooled in 2019. "During the Olympics and World Championships the year after we did not speak," King said. "We've grown up. It was three years ago so lets move on. We're going to be racing each other a lot more now, especially that I'm pro. I think we've both moved on with the middle school girl act of hating each other and not speaking." The Indiana-native gold medalist received the biggest ovation upon entering the pool deck from the Indianapolis crowd. “When Lilly walked out, I thought the place was going to explode,” Miller said. King raced Efimova three times – in the 50, 100 and 200 breaststroke – over the twoday event and beat her in each race. In both the 50 and 100 breaststroke events, King posted the fastest time in the world this year. Her 29.63 time in the 50 breaststroke beat Efimova by 0.3 seconds. A 1:05.13 time in the 100 breaststroke bested Efimova by 0.38 seconds. In the 200 meter breaststroke, King swam a 2:21.39 time, a lifetime best for the Olympian. Eifmova was second again, and 0.2 seconds behind. King and Efimova did swim on the same team in a mixed 4x100 freestyle relay event. Miller swam in the event as well and finished third while King’s group was last, 10 seconds behind the winners. Both Miller and King said the event itself is good for the future of swimming. The arena was full and had a good atmosphere, Miller said, and the made-for-TV event drew viewers who may not be swimming fans. Features including the lights and production as well as only having four swimmers per race instead of eight make the event more friendly to viewers, they both said. “In previous years nothing like this existed, and no one ever watched swimming,” Miller said. “But I was getting messages from people in Indy and people across the country who are like, ‘Hey the meets on whatever network it is, we’re watching it at the bar.’ That’s really cool, that’s the more exciting thing.” The event also featured increased prize money – first place was $10,000, second

was $8,000, third was $6,000 and fourth was $5,000 – creating stakes for an event that doesn’t have the same cache as the Olympics or World Championships. "Obviously the prize money is a lot better than we have been earning in the past," King said. "We've got a lot of professional swimmers and Olympians who have trouble paying rent because we don't earn enough in our sport which is sad to see.” The 2019 World Championships are set to begin July 12 in Gwangju, South Korea. It will have a strong IU presence, including King, Miller, IU professional group member Zane Grothe and freshman Emily Weiss. IU Head Coach Ray Looze will also be there.

Climate scientists respond to Trump opposition By Emily Isaacman eisaacma@iu.edu | @emilyisaacman

The fourth National Climate Assessment, released in November 2018, predicted effects of climate change could cut up to 10% of the country’s gross domestic product by 2100. But according to reporting this week by the New York Times, the Trump administration has ordered future projections to stop at 2040, instead of 2100. This would reduce the projected impacts of climate change in a move many see as an effort to stifle work to combat climate change. While the decision has a direct effect on climate scientists within the government, it could also affect broader work to publicize the effects of climate change and prepare for the impacts. “People will start questioning the projections up to 2100 and/or think that action doesn’t need to be taken,” said Gabriel Filippelli, an IU-Purdue University Indianapolis professor and member of IU's Environmental Resilience Institute. Most increases in the drivers of climate change such as temperature are exponential, Filippelli said. This means effects in 2100 are projected to be significantly worse than in 2040. Many scientists suspect the

TY VINSON | IDS

President Donald Trump speaks at a rally Aug. 30, 2018, to show support for Mike Braun when he was running for U.S. Senate. The Trump administration has ordered future projections in climate change assessments to stop at 2040, instead of 2100.

Trump administration is trying to limit the scope of assessments — removing worst-case scenario projections — in an attempt to shield itself from legal consequences and policy implications of showing extreme impacts of climate change, Filippelli said. “I think it’s really short-sighted because it makes it more difficult to see the consequences of our actions and how they play out over

the long run, and it makes it more difficult to plan for the long term,” said Jeffrey Dukes, director of Purdue Climate Change Research Center. Research outside the government will continue projecting until 2100, Dukes said. But the administration has made it more difficult for climate change research than in recent memory, cutting federal funding opportunities

from agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency. Filippelli said he has already been affected by these funding cuts. Private foundations are attempting to fill in funding gaps, he said. And some federal agencies not under the executive branch are continuing as usual with fundSEE CLIMATE, PAGE 3

Campaign started against Gateway to Work program By Claire Peters clapete@iu.edu | @claire_peterss

People gathered in a large circle at the Monroe County Public Library Wednesday for the Save Hoosier Healthcare Campaign Kickoff. They dragged over chairs, sitting outside the circle as the meeting room overflowed with attendees. Hoosier Action, a Southern Indiana nonprofit political organization, launched the campaign. The group’s goal is to advocate against new work requirements for the Healthy Indiana Plan, which is Indiana’s form of Medicaid. The group is also working to advocate for a stronger Medicaid system within the state. “I did not want to sit by and watch healthcare profiteers take over our state and our healthcare system,” said Will Stauffer, a community organizer for Hoosier Action. Hoosier Action co-sponsored the campaign launch with eight other groups including Medicare for All Indiana, Mother Hubbard's Cupboard and Indiana Recovery Alliance. Indiana’s Gateway to Work program, announced Feb. 2, 2018, requires people with Medicaid to work parttime or lose their coverage unless they qualify for an exemption. Having a job is not the only thing that can satisfy the

Organizer for Hoosier Action Will Stauffer talks to attendees of Save Hoosier Healthcare Campaign Kickoff on May 29 in the Monroe County Public Library. “We need everybody in the fight,” he said.

requirement. There are other options such as volunteering, educational programs or job skills training. But according to Tracey Hutchings-Goetz, a community organizer for Hoosier Action, this plan is overly complicated and will remove

a large amount of Indiana residents from their Medicaid plan. “It is a tremendous amount of bureaucracy and additional labor in people’s lives,” Hutchings-Goetz said. “That is going to make it a heck of a lot harder to keep

their healthcare.” Throughout the night, multiple organizers from Hoosier Action shared experiences of how the healthcare system has failed them and what the new work requirements mean for their future. Hoosier Action organizer

Eva Bell said even her two jobs won’t be enough to meet the paperwork requirements, putting her and her three kids at risk of losing healthcare and going into debt. “This healthcare system is failing me,” Bell said. “And I know it’s failing everyone

here as well.” Hoosier Action executive director Kate Hess Pace said the group’s program for taking action for the summer provides many opportunities to get involved in the campaign, such as door-knocking every weekend around South and Central Indiana. “We’ve been working on healthcare since we started,” Pace said. “During the midterms, we knocked on about 13,000 rural doors and talked primarily about healthcare.” This is in preparation for the delivery of thousands of postcards to Gov. Eric Holcomb’s office and a protest at the Statehouse on July 1. Hoosier Action is partnering with Communications Workers of America for the protest. Until then Hoosier Action will work with volunteers and members of the organization at least two days a week to prepare, Hutchings-Goetz said. She said this work consists of audits, writing letters and making phone calls. The group is also exploring legal options by working with Indiana Legal Services, which is interviewing people about their experiences on the Healthy Indiana Plan. “I don’t want to hear that we can’t do it,” HutchingsGoetz said. “Because we absolutely can. And we have to if you think that healthcare is a human right.”

City of Bloomington celebrates Trades District launch By Claire Peters clapete@iu.edu | @claire_peterss

A crowd of interested citizens and curious passers-by gathered Friday afternoon to hear Mayor John Hamilton introduce Bloomington’s new Trades District. “This is a thrilling time for the city as we welcome 21st century jobs and people,” Hamilton said. “This is a giant leap for Bloomington.” The new Trades District is a section of downtown Bloomington with many high-tech businesses and a park. Activities included tours of the facilities, lunch from local food trucks and activity stations from the WonderLab Museum of Science, Health and Technology. “I was excited to come down and get a closer look to understand what it was all about,” IU graduate student Sara Conrad said. The district is the most environmentally-friendly

urban infrastructure project in Bloomington, Hamilton said, citing the pedestrian and bike-friendly roads, electric car charging stations and the 10,000 plants placed in the area. Conrad said the district is perfect for the young people of Bloomington and students who want to work in a space away from campus. “The way millenials are working is perfect for this space,” Conrad said. “People who have that entrepreneurial drive will flourish here.” The Trades District is part of a larger Technology Park, a state-designated area to grow technology innovation. The park is a partnership between Bloomington and IU. The development of this area was meant for wage growth and to stimulate job growth in different sectors, said Alex Crowley, director of Bloomington’s Department of Economic and Sustainable Development.

“Historically it’s been very traditional manufacturing employment base,” Crowley said. “We’re pivoting as a city into the new economy, and this is meant to stimulate that.” The plan is to market the area and gain private investment in the undeveloped sections, Crowley said. The city is hoping to attract jobs such as programming, advanced manufacturing and biotechnology. Crowley said the city is hoping to expand job opportunities for local residents and graduating IU students. The city is aiming to attract new investors to the area by marketing the existing buildings that are for sale and developing the empty fields. “This doesn’t happen overnight,” Crowley said. “But our plan and hope is that we will attract and facilitate development.”

City to extend harassment protections to contractors Man breaks into next door apartment, says he wants to live there By Emily Isaacman

eisaacma@iu.edu | @emilyisaacman

Bloomington is proposing to strengthen protections against harassment for independent contractors and others doing work for the city. Bloomington Human Rights Commission director Barbara McKinney said allegations of sexual harassment by a county contractor prompted the city to review policies in the municipal code and city personnel manual. The allegations were originally published in the IDS. “We just realized there were gaps in our policy,” McKinney said. The Human Rights Commission and Legal Department identified two sections of the municipal code to strengthen, according to a city press release. Mayor John Hamilton directed the review. “In the modern economy, increasing numbers of those who work, including with the city, are independent contractors,” Hamilton said in the release. “We fully value these workers as they serve the city along with regular employees, and it is our responsibility to make sure they receive the same protections our city employees have long enjoyed.” The first proposed change would protect “in-

A 60-year-old Bloomington man was arrested Tuesday for breaking into an apartment adjacent to his residence on East University Street, Bloomington Police Department Lt. John Kovach said. Richard Vance, who lives in apartment two, told police he broke into apartment one because he had a water leak. He told police his apartment flooded three weeks ago, and management had not fixed it. He knew apartment one was vacant and wanted to live there instead.

He switched the numbers on the doors, Kovach said. Police found Vance in apartment two. They saw the back window of apartment one busted and the doors to both apartments open. An employee told police management previously contacted Vance about moving into another apartment. The employee said a student moved out of apartment one but was still on the lease. Police took Vance to the hospital after he threatened to harm himself. He told police he has a mental illness. Vance was arrested on preliminary charges of criminal mischief and residential entry.

dependent contractors, volunteers, interns and any others doing sanctioned work for the city” against harassment or discrimination. The amendment would explicitly state anyone doing work for the city could bring a complaint of harassment or discrimination and expect it to be investigated. The second proposed change would require companies contracting with the city to share their policy

prohibiting workplace harassment with the Human Rights Commission. This would require them to “define harassment, designate employees to handle claims and agree not to retaliate against complainants,” according to the release. McKinney said there has been greater attention on treatment of contractors in the past couple years as more people are classified as independent contractors. The proposed change

will be submitted to city council Friday for consideration during the council’s next two meetings June 5 and 12, according to the release. The city is also in the process of updating its personnel manual to clarify that city employees who harass anyone doing work for the city will be subject to disciplinary action. McKinney said this change is expected to take effect in early June.

with institutional knowledge and expertise. Another area of concern involves changes to methodologies and approaches. For instance, the administration is taking a different approach to doing cost-benefit analysis, which McCabe said tends to devalue health benefits and make costs to industry appear more substantial in comparison. These types of subtle, buried changes cut to the root of how agencies do business, McCabe said. “If they get embedded in the way the agencies do things, then it can be harder for them to switch back the other way,” McCabe said. “Not impossible.” There’s also a risk agencies could lose credibility with courts, lawmakers and the public, McCabe said. She said she hopes four years of a Trump administration will not compromise the EPA’s credibility, but it is an area of worry, nonetheless. “Once your reputation for honesty is compromised, it’s really hard to get it back,” she said.

Bringing color to the

silver screen In honor of Pride month, here are six ﬁlms — and one television show — depicting LGBTQ stories, from comedy to drama and camp to heartbreak.

ILLUSTRATION BY ANNIE AGUIAR

“CAROL”

“THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST”

“POSE”

“THE FAVOURITE”

“MOONLIGHT”

Set in 1952, “Carol” follows the slow-burning romance of the titular Carol Aird, a glamorous married mother going through a divorce, and Therese Belivet, a department store clerk who is unsure of her relationship with her boyfriend. The two meet during the Christmas season when Carol is shopping for a gift for her daughter and wanders into the toy store where Therese works. Carol accidentally on purpose leaves her gloves behind at the counter, meaning Therese will have to find a way to deliver them back to her. Their ensuing relationship is marked by doubt and struggle, both internal and external. “Carol” is a poignant period piece full of emotion that is sure to ensnare any audience with its examination of the mysterious restraint LGBTQ people in the 1950s had to exhibit to maintain a facade of heterosexuality.

“The Miseducation of Cameron Post,” based on the novel of the same name by Emily M. Danforth, premiered in 2018 at the Sundance Film Festival. Cameron Post is a teenage girl played by Chloë Grace Moretz who gets sent to an anti-LGBTQ conversion camp by her aunt after her relationship with another girl, Coley, is discovered. Cameron befriends two other camp attendees: Adam, a Lakota two-spirit, and Jane, who grows her own weed and was raised by hippies. God’s Promise is run by Dr. Lydia Marsh and her brother, Rick, who claims to have been converted from homosexuality by his sister’s treatments. At the camp, Cameron discovers what drives individuals toward their identity, whether it be in defiance or acceptance of the ruling anti-gay authority.

“Pose” is a TV show about the ballroom culture of the 1980s, a scene populated by LGBTQ people of color. The ballroom scene flourished amid the AIDS crisis and is the premainstream origins of modern drag. The show mainly follows Blanca, a transgender woman of color who receives an HIV diagnosis. She wants to leave behind a legacy in the only way she can — winning in the ballroom. What follows is a funny and poignant show set to funky 80s jams about found family, resilience and accepting yourself despite rejection. Not only are all transgender characters played by transgender actors, the show is written and produced by Janet Mock, a transgender woman of color. The show puts the narrative in the hands of those who best understand it. “Pose” was just added to Netflix, making it the perfect summer binge.

“The Favourite” paints a scandalous picture loosely based on the lesbian relationships between Queen Anne of England, Scotland and Ireland and two of her confidantes, Sarah Churchill and Abigail Masham. Sarah, also known as the Duchess of Marlborough, is played by Rachel Weisz, and Abigail is played by Emma Stone. Sarah and Abigail both vie for the favor of Anne, played by Olivia Colman, as the absurdist comedy directed by Yorgos Lanthimos takes several dramatic turns through 18th-century court life. Sarah holds power over the Queen and her decisions, but that dynamic quickly changes as Abigail works her way up the social ladder through an alliance with parliamentarian Robert Harley and her marriage to nobleman Samuel Masham. The film earned Colman an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2019.

Barry Jenkins’ 2016 coming-of-age film “Moonlight,” based on Tarell Alvin McCraney’s unpublished play “In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue,” famously won Best Picture at the 89th annual Academy Awards over “La La Land.” It was the first film with an all-black cast as well as the first LGBTQ film to win Best Picture and tells the story of Chiron, a boy growing up in Miami with a mother who is addicted to crack and a difficult path ahead of him. Deeply humanistic, “Moonlight” shows Chiron at three different stages of his life as he tries to harden himself to the outside world. Throughout the movie, Chiron learns about his own sexuality and the trappings of black masculinity. It was recently added to Netflix, so it’s a great time to see it for the first time or rewatch for a good cry.

“BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER”

Pastel-toned and perfectly camp, the 1999 satirical comedy “But I’m a Cheerleader” tells the story of cheerleader Megan who is sent to conversion therapy boot camp True Directions because she doesn’t seem to be that into her boyfriend. Megan, played by a then-20 year old Natasha Lyonne, meets and befriends her fellow campers, including the defiant lesbian Graham played by Clea DuVall. At the camp, Megan and her new friends are subjected to a five-step program that starts with Megan admitting she is a lesbian in the vein of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. The film has since become a cult classic thanks to its tongue-firmly-in-cheek sense of humor. For just a hint of the movie’s tone, consider this: True Directions boot camp staff member Mike is played by legendary drag queen RuPaul Charles. -Annie Aguiar -Annie Aguiar

“CALL ME BY YOUR NAME” Based on the 2007 novel by André Aciman, “Call Me By Your Name” became an instant classic when it premiered in 2017 at the Sundance Film Festival. The main character, Elio, is a teenager from Italy who lives an adventurous and romantic life during the 1980s. One summer, a graduate student named Oliver travels to Italy from the United States to stay with Elio and his family. The film’s plot is centered around the slowly-developing relationship between Oliver and Elio. Bisexuality is a major theme throughout the film. It presents a new perspective on relationships and how the terms “gay” and “queer” are no longer strictly synonymous. Through Elio’s exploration of his sexual identity, he learns not everything in life cannot easily be categorized as black or white. -Madelyn Powers

WOMEN’S ROWING

IU ties for 12th in NCAA Championships By Zackary Swoboda zswoboda@iu.edu | @zackaryswoboda

In IU rowing’s sixthstraight NCAA Championships appearance, it placed tied for 12th overall in the three-day competition. Coach Steve Peterson said he was pleased with how his team performed throughout the weekend. “The team did well,” Peterson said. “I think the biggest thing we’re trying to do when we come to a race is to perform as well as we can.” All three of IU’s boats placed higher than they were ranked coming into NCAA Championships. They all also recorded their fastest times in their respective finals. The First Varsity Four improved three spots, First Varsity Eight three spots and Second Varsity Eight one spot. 1V8 The 1V8 team was ranked 17th and came in fifth place in their heat on Friday, finishing with a time of 6:23.849. The team had to battle off Duke University the entire race but finished behind the opposing boat by less than a second. Placing fifth put IU’s 1V8 into the C/D Semi-Finals on Saturday. The C/D SemiFinals dictate where teams will be placed into the C or D bracket for the Finals. IU fought hard in the C/D Semi-Finals and placed third, qualifying for the C

Finals. They had a time of 6:51.421. In the C Finals, IU finished second with a time of 6:16.928. They placed 14th overall but recorded their best time on the weekend in the C Finals. 2V8 IU’s 2V8 was ranked 12th overall and started out in fourth place during their heat. However, they quickly gained ground and passed Harvard University for third place. Senior Elizabeth Meinzer

said she was ecstatic to pass Harvard and slide into a qualifying position for the A/B Semi-Finals. “That was very exciting,” Meinzer said. “You know obviously we were ranked third coming into that race, so our goal is to be at our seed or better. We were getting a little nervous, but we stayed internal, rode our race and we are really proud of the outcome.” IU held onto its lead, finished third in the heat and clocked in at 6:32.115.

They advanced to the A/B Semi-Finals, with a chance to battle for a place in the A bracket. On Saturday, the 2V8 placed sixth in their A/B Semi-Finals, placing them into the Petite (B) Finals bracket for Sunday. They finished with a time of 7:11.462. In the Petite Finals, IU’s 2V8 placed fifth, so the team slotted into eleventh place overall. The boat finished with a time of 6:27.258, clocking in as their fastest

WOMEN’S SOCCER

The disrespect LeBron James gets is comical Tristan Jackson is a sophomore in journalism.

Starting Thursday, the Golden State Warriors will face off against the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals. The Warriors will look to capture their third straight title and fourth in five years. The Raptors are in the complete opposite boat as this is their first trip to the Finals in the franchise’s 24 year history. Yet something feels off about this year’s NBA Finals. For the first time since 2010, the finals will not include superstar forward LeBron James. Think about it — one player went to the finals eight straight years with two different teams, completely obliterating the Eastern Conference. James is the greatest basket-

race for the NCAA Championships. 1V4 The 1V4 team, also ranked 12th, finished third place in their heat to advance to the A/B Semi-Finals with a time of 7:09.447. Four Big Ten teams were in the heat with IU, and three out of four of the teams made it to the A/B Semi-Finals. 1V4 placed over University of Virginia to get sixth place and advance to the Petite Finals for Sunday as

well. Their time in the A/B Semi-Finals was 7:51.065. IU’s 1V4 had a nail-biting race in the Petite Finals. Throughout the race, IU was neck-and-neck with Rutgers and Yale University, battling for third, fourth and fifth. During the middle of the race, IU was reported to be in fifth, but not for long. The 1V4 boat came back and placed third in the Petite Finals, ninth place overall. The boat broke the Top 10 and beat out Rutgers by 0.48 seconds for third place in the Petite Finals. 1V4’s time of 7:08.084 in the Petite Finals was a best for their NCAA Championships races. Sophomore Rosemary Munro elaborated upon the final 500-meter sprint where IU pushed from fifth to third. “It was insane,” Munro said. “We didn’t even know what place we were in when we crossed the line. We were just gunning it in the last 500. When we heard over the loudspeaker we got third place, we were so, so happy.” Peterson said he was also happy with all his boats, specifically the 1V4. “The boat that really, really performed well — I mean all three did — but I think the 1V4 really stepped up,” Peterson said. “It’s a young group. For them to just come together in the past couple weeks from Big Tens to here. It’s just amazing.”

ball player ever. Most will tell you it’s Michael Jordan with his unblemished 6-6 finals record, and fans of Kobe Bryant will tell you his five rings and scoring ability puts him at number one. But neither are as great as James. The fact of the matter is James’ legacy is seen as tarnished in the eyes of some because of team accomplishments. Jordan was amazing in his six title runs, but he could not have done it without Scottie Pippen. Bryant was great as well, but in three of his five finals wins he played second fiddle to Shaquille O’Neal. You can go on about all the things these guys have done that James hasn’t, but almost all of them are a result of a SEE LEBRON, PAGE 8

CZECHING IN WITH ZACK

Greek life is not the stereotypical story Zackary Swoboda is a sophmore in sports media.

Like any major controversial topic, media plays a huge role in the depiction of topics and influences public opinion. Negative portrayals of greek life on media outlets outweigh the minimal positive coverage it receives. There have been nationally-covered stories about hazing and hazing-related deaths that undoubtedly need addressed. However, certain fraternities and sororities who have had hazing incidents should not reflect upon the entire Greek community. Instead, we should focus on reform of hazing rather than just shutting down Greek life. Greek life has an abundance of advantages for those involved, which are illustrated not only in college but afterwards, too. A decent amount of IU’s undergraduate student body is involved in the greek community. “There are 70 fraternities and sororities at IU involving over 8,000 undergraduate students,” according to IU’s Division of Student Affairs’ website With over 8,000 undergraduate members, fraternities and sororities at IU contain roughly 20% of the entire student body. It’s important to rec-

ognize these 8,000 do not focus on the trite perceptions of constant partying and binge drinking. Instead most of these students make a difference within the community. Most greek organizations nationwide participate in and even host their own philanthropic events, whether it be on campus or in the community. “The greek system is the largest network of volunteers in the US, with members donating over 10 million hours of volunteer service each year,” according to The Fraternity Advisor. Greek life at IU is no different than these national statistics. It’s time to start acknowledging the time and effort greek life students dedicate in order to make a difference. For example, Beta Sigma Psi’s “Dodging Addiction” dodgeball tournament raised over $25,000, according to IU’s Greek Life Philanthropy Crowd Change. Or perhaps you bought a quesadilla in a joint effort of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Acacia’s “Kappa Acaciadilla” event that raised over $12,000 for Camp Kesem, a camp for children who have dealt with a parent having cancer. Another benefit of greek life is the everlasting friend-

ships you’ll gain throughout the experience. These friendships can often turn into networking opportunities, whether that be through current brothers/ sisters or through alums. In addition to philanthropies and long-lasting friendships, greek life offers even more opportunities for its members, such as leadership positions. Each organization has their own structured systems that allow members to run for a position within the fraternity or sorority, as well as opportunities to run for a position on the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association. These valuable leadership experiences are undeniably great resume boosters as well as genuine real world experience. Those in charge of a committee or in an elected spot have the opportunity to communicate with leaders in their organization as well as other organizations. This is relatable to postgraduation experiences, such as working with coworkers and establishing cross-business connections. Greek life at IU also strives to educate the greek community through multiple different outlets. IU fraternities and sororities participate in man-

datory ASTP training, which involves bystander intervention and training for anyone in Greek life. Daniel Stein is the president of IU’s Interfraternity Council and is very passionate about stimulating change and reversing stereotypes in the Greek community. “Greek life is always aiming to become more safe,” said Stein. “Over the years, we have installed multiple programming sessions for sober monitoring training, alcohol/drug usage and sexual assault that have greatly benefited the community,” Stein is not content with just stopping with what has already been done. “We hope to continue to improve by adding additional training to ensure that organizations remain safe,” said Stein. Greek life, like most things, is not perfect. Hazing reform is necessary for some universities and for some individual chapters at any given university. However, just because one organization has a hazing incident does not mean that every organization hazes. Instead of trying to take down Greek life, consider the positives and focus on reforming the issues. zswoboda@iu.edu

» LEBRON

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 Hall of Fame head coach and better teams around them, not individual skill. In the 2016 finals, James led both teams in all five major stats, and it still took coming back from a 3-1 series deficit to the Warriors for the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the championship. In the 2017 finals, James averaged a triple-double for the series, and the Cavaliers still lost in five games. James has had some very good teammates throughout his career, but one more superstar does not make up for an entire team worth of production. With that being said, James was still able to make the finals eight times in a row. That is the longest streak of any player that was not part of the Bill Russell-led Celtics of the 1950s and 60s. This season marked the end of an era in the NBA. After utterly dominating the Eastern Conference for the better part of a decade, the 16-year NBA veteran James took his talents west and joined the Los Angeles Lakers.

Throughout his career, James has taken a lot of unwarranted criticism for things mostly out of his control, such as his unfortunate 3-6 record in the finals for his career. But let’s not forget three of his finals losses are against the Warriors’ dynasty, and two more came against the San Antonio Spurs, who won five championships in a span of 15 years. The past season with the Lakers didn’t exactly do him any favors either. Before their Christmas Day game against the Warriors, LeBron and the Lakers held a 19-14 record, which was good enough for the fourth seed in the Western Conference. That game would turn out to be a 26-point drumming for the Lakers, but not before James went down with a groin injury early in the third quarter. This would mark the beginning of the end for the Lakers’ playoff hopes. James missed the next 17 games of the season, and the Lakers only managed to pick up six wins in his absence and dropped down to tenth in the playoff standings. James would return to the court Jan. 31 against the Los

Angeles Clippers, in which he posted 24 points, 14 assists and nine rebounds in an overtime win. Despite being back on the court, it was obvious he was not 100% and had been brought back early in hopes of climbing back up in the standings. James got a lot of blame for the way this season went for the Lakers, and it is completely unfounded. In 55 games, James put up 27.4 points per game, 8.5 rebounds per game and 8.3 assists per game, all while shooting 51% from the field. Despite being in the back end of his career at age 34, all of these are higher than his career averages. Regardless of the criticism for his lack of contribution, the mediocrity of this season for the Lakers was not James’ fault. To go along with his absence, the Lakers were also without Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball and Rajon Rondo for 30 or more games each. Each of these players averaged at least 30 minutes a game when healthy this season. James put up great numbers in his limited time on the court this season, but

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James directs his team against the Atlanta Hawks on Feb. 12 at Philips Arena. Despite his stardom, James is frequently disrespected by many fans.

some believe this is James’ worst season to date. Add those claims to the long list of unfounded criticisms of James, which include his defensive effort and leadership of the younger Lakers players. The hate James gets is laughable at this point. Take a look at any post on Insta-

gram he is featured in, and the first comment will likely read “use me as a Michael Jordan’s better button.” Twitter threads compare his performance at 34 to Jordan and Bryant at the same age. Even current NBA stars such as Kevin Durant have taken stabs at James, calling the environment that he cre-

ates “toxic.” NBA fans can argue forever about who is the best to ever play. The difference is that right now James is still playing. Every time he steps on the court, we’re watching one of the best to ever do it. LeBron James won’t be around forever, so appreciate him while you still can.
