From IDS reports

Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan announced Tuesday that he will not be seeking re-election in 2015. In an interview that aired on Indiana Public Media’s “Ask the Mayor” show, Kruzan said serving for 12 years has been a lengthy time of service. “It’s time to shake things up and it’s always healthy to have new energy, new ideas,” he said in a clip released by WTIU from the interview. Kruzan’s announcement was subsequent of Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard’s announcement to also not seek another term. In the interview, Kruzan referenced one mayor that had served longer than him — Tomilea Allison, who served from 1983 to 1995. “There’s a reason for that,” he said during the show. “There’s a short shelf-life for being mayor.” Kruzan was elected as mayor of Bloomington in 2003. Prior to serving as mayor, Kruzan had served as a state representative since 1986. The mayor’s office could not be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon prior to publication. Kruzan is an IU alumnus, having received degrees in journalism and political science in 1982 and in law in 1985. Kruzan has also taught at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs since 1990.

BFC meets to discuss IU athletics, Strategic Plan By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

The Bloomington Faculty Council addressed concerns Tuesday afternoon with regard to the athletics program and a perceived lack of faculty input in the formulation of the Bicentennial Strategic Plan. Members of the BFC heard from Fred Glass, vice president and director of athletics, members of the IU athletics committee and members of the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics. Glass said a greater emphasis has been placed on student athletes’ physical and emotional wellbeing. In fact, a posting for a full-time psychologist within the athletics department is set to be dispatched this week, he added. In response to concerns regarding the volume of classes that student athletes miss, Glass said student athletes are limited to eight excused absences per semester. Absences related to post-season play, however, are exempt from the eight excused absences per semester, and coaches may ask for additional exemptions. In response to concerns regarding the type of classes that student athletes take, Glass said studentathlete composition of each class is tracked. If student athletes compose more than 15 percent of a class, the reason for such high student-athlete enrollment is investigated. Members of the BFC also unanimously voted in support of a resolution that urges IU President Michael McRobbie, IU-Bloomington Provost Lauren Robel and other academic officers to consult faculty members throughout the process of refining and implementing proposals or actions resulting from the plan. Though the resolution has no direct or immediate effect, it will be shared with McRobbie and the IU Board of Trustees. SEE FACULTY, PAGE 6

It was all Tyra Buss from the get-go. The IU freshman scored 12 of the Hoosiers’ first 19 points before Valparaiso made even a second field goal in IU’s 81-49 victory against the Crusaders. The Hoosiers move to 2-0 on the season and IU Coach Teri Moren said the offense has been good. The Hoosiers have scored 196 points through two games, but the defense has been less satisfactory. “Another really good start for us (and) we got points up on the board fast,” Moren said. “Defensively, I thought we were solid and sound, but we still have a ways to go.” Buss finished with 22 points in the game, as she continued to justify the hype surrounding her so far this season.

She was last week’s Big Ten Freshman of the Week and started off this week strong as well. But Buss refused to take too much credit for her success through two games of the season, recognizing her teammates instead. “I just think that my teammates did a really good job of screening, especially Jenn (Anderson),” Buss said. “And I thought we did a really good job of moving the ball, so I have to give a lot of credit to my teammates.” Buss also continued to hound opposing guards, finishing with eight steals. That, combined with her seven against Gardner-Webb during the weekend, ties her for the Big Ten lead through two games with 15. Moren said Buss has always been a good defender, SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 6

Professor lectures on roots of American food By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP

In the newest installment of Themester’s “Eat, Drink and Think: Food from Art to Science” lecture series, Konstantin Dierks, associate professor in the Department of History, spoke about cookbooks and their influence on American culture. The era he focused on was between the American Revolution and American Civil War. This was during a shift from British to American tradition, and that shift translated into a focus on defining the American identity in food. “We have to make food and drink American in some way,” he said, referencing the meaning hidden in the cookbooks projected behind him. These books focused on “stripping away any notion of ‘Britishness,’” Dierks said. Whether it was the use of only American ingredients or simplifying techniques to suit American cooks, homemakers wanted something that was more accustomed to their new lifestyle. However, despite changes due to non-existent copyright laws, moved from writer to writer with little change made, many cookbooks featured British recipes that had been Americanized.

Konstantin Dierks, associate professor of history at IU, speaks Tuesday at Lilly Library. His lecture focused on the roots of American cuisine.

This showed that though American culture tried to separate from Britain, certain aspects like food remained the same. However, the fact that these cookbooks tried to focus in on purely “American” food showed the

initial first sign that people were starting to pull away from their British roots. Delving further into the content of these cookbooks, Dierks said they focused on food and household management.

“Food becomes part of the project of managing a household,” he said. Recipes, or receipts, focused on not only the creation of food SEE COOKBOOKS, PAGE 6
