PACE discusses SCOTUS nominee

IDS

By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang

For Raegan Davis, president of College Democrats at IU, the implications of U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh being approved are personal.

“If we can’t rely on him to respect women outside the courtroom, we can’t rely on him to respect women in the courtroom,” Davis said.

As a part of the LGBTQ+ community and a survivor of sexual assault, Davis said she feels Kavanaugh’s views and past actions make him unfit for appointment.

Davis spoke during the Political and Civic Engagement program’s first Free Speech Friday event where attendees discussed the Kavanaugh nomination.

At the same time, senators in Washington D.C. were deciding how to proceed with the nomination after Thursday’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Kavanaugh and Palo Alto University professor Christine Blasey Ford were questioned about Ford’s accusation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while the two were in high school. The Judiciary Committee approved the candidate after tense debate Friday for a full Senate vote, but that vote will be delayed up to one week to allow for an FBI investigation.

At the PACE event, students from political groups on campus were invited to speak first, including leaders from IU College Democrats, Young Americans for Liberty and the Young Democratic Socialists of America.

Davis said she is concerned about Kavanaugh’s views on immigration, same sex marriage, gerrymandering, voter ID laws, the Affordable Care Act and Roe v. Wade. She said his views threaten the human rights of many, especially immigrants, the LGBT community and women.

Sophomore Spencer Glass attempts to cross the ball into the box Sept. 30 at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Glass assisted both of IU’s goals, helping the team defeat Penn State, 2-0.

IU downs Penn State for 9th win

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

IU coach Todd Yeagley called it a special pass.

In the 67th minute, sophomore midfielder Spencer Glass received the ball far out from the penalty box. He nudged it forward a bit to set himself up.

Then he put what his teammates call the “best left foot in the country” on the ball with perfection.

The ball went soaring as it curved across to the opposite side of the box.

Senior defender Rece Buckmaster came streaking toward the goal at the perfect time.

Buckmaster attacked the ball with his head and found the net in the far post to put it past the goalkeeper.

“Rico was free on the back, so someone yelled back post," Glass said. "I saw Rico coming in hot, so I put it to the back post.”

The goal propelled the No. 2 Hoosiers to a 2-0 victory over Penn State on Sunday afternoon.

Glass also contributed to the first goal IU scored as time was dwindling down in the first half.

With halftime looming, IU was desperate for that first score.

Each time IU had an opportunity to find the back of the net, it seemed either offside was called or Penn State would make a play to break it up.

In the 44th minute, sophomore midfielder Ian Black recorded the first point

The city awarded four child care programs $75,000 in September. Each will use the money differently, but with the shared goal of pulling children off wait lists and providing more families with high-quality child care.

“Although we know that early childhood education is key to successful individual and community outcomes, child care centers are struggling to stay afloat,” Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton said in a statement. “There is not enough quality, affordable child care to meet our community’s needs, so this funding is dedicated to increasing that supply.”

Greater access to high-quality early childhood education was identified by the Wage Growth Task Force in its series of recommendations to promote long-term economic sustainability, said Alex Crowley, director of Bloomington’s Economic and Sustainable Development Department.

The task force was commissioned by the city about a year ago.

“The community as a whole benefits when we have robust early childhood education,” Crowley said.

Not only do additional spaces lead to more children receiving affordable, high-quality care, but they enable parents to work jobs they wouldn’t otherwise be able to pursue.

“In the long term, we’re actually improving the workforce,” Crowley said.

The grant funding will be distributed during the next 30 days to the Bloomington Center for Global Children, Penny Lane East, The Nest at New Hope and Jill’s House SEE CHILD CARE, PAGE 5

The Lemon Bucket Orkestra brass band rests in the center of the Lotus Festival Parade as they march from Fourth and Washington Streets to the Buskirk-Chumley Theater during the 2018 Lotus World Music and Arts Festival on Sept. 29.

International acts play at Lotus Festival

By Calie Schepp crschepp@iu.edu

Festival goers were able to explore venues for music, art, a food truck village and craft activities during the Lotus World Music and Arts Festival on Saturday.

The Buskirk-Chumley Theater was home to many acts throughout the festival, including the Afro-Latino Marimba group Rio Mira. Named after the river that separates Colombia and Ecuador, Rio Mira “aims to preserve the treasure” that is marimba music,

according to the Lotus Education and Arts Foundation website.

Rio Mira uses the marimba as a key instrument in their music, as well as tambourine-like shakers to create loud and upbeat tunes. The musicians had the crowd clapping and dancing along to the music that they said they grew up with.

Stephanie Bergstron from Louisville was attending Lotus Festival for a girls trip and said she enjoyed the stylings of the marimba group.

“This was my favorite show,” Bergstron said about Rio Mira. “I

feel as though they had the most sounds and soul that spoke to my heart, and they made me dance.”

Sami Marshall, a first year master student of art in art administration student at IU, works as a front of house associate at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. She said her main job during the festival was to make sure everything was going smoothly for the shows.

“Buskirk is beautiful and there’s such a variety of shows that come here,” Marshall said. “That’s the beauty of Lotus, that there’s so much variety and lots of interna-

tional bands that you may have never heard of before.”

The festival offered a Big Tent Multimedia Experience where festival goers were able to experience immersive 360 degree technology with video and sound, as well as an arts village, where kids were able to make crafts, look at art installations and play games.

Vicky Huang, first year graduate student at IU SPEA, worked the arts village as a festival volunteer. She said she first learned SEE LOTUS, PAGE 6

Event raises money for shelter Mediterranean

Junior Nicole Burjek, left, sophomore Lindsey Bridgewater, middle, and sophomore Cassandra Miller, right, play with Spirit, a puppy from Heaven After Hell Rescue on Sept. 30 at Theta Phi Alpha’s philanthropy event Pumpkins and Puppies. Theta Phi Alpha donated money to help the rescue pay its medical bills.

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

Spirit, a lively puppy, rolled around in his newspaper-covered pen. Other puppies, Bebop and Duke, ran circles around participants as they pet the dogs lounging in the sun.

Spirit, Duke and Bebop were all part of Theta Phi Alpha’s annual Pumpkins and Puppies event, organized on Sept. 30. The funds go to Heaven After Hell Rescue. As of Sept. 30., Theta Phi raised about $4,200.

The Indianapolis-based organization takes animals from mills and high-kill shelters, gives them medical treatment and works toward

getting the animals adopted.

The event started three years ago, after Theta Phi senior Samantha Burdine adopted her black labrador, Jake, from the organization.

Burdine said she can’t take credit for starting the event, but her past with the shelter and her mom’s work as a veterinary technician helped form the connection.

Burdine said many philanthropic events use dogs, but few events use and benefit the dogs.

“It doesn’t really seem like animals are the recipients of a lot of the money,” Burdine said.

The Pumpkins and Puppies event had pumpkin painting, puppies to play

with and food.

“It all goes towards making sure that abused animals or animals seized from puppy mills, that sort of thing, can have a good life,” said senior Gillian Fulford, Theta Phi Alpha external liaison.

Even if participants are unable to adopt a dog, Fulford said people still enjoy being able to play with them.

Miranda Payne, Heaven After Hell Rescue founder, said about 250 animals are adopted per year.

Kaitlin Edquist, Theta Phi philanthropy chair, said the event also allows the puppies to get more human interaction, so they can be more comfortable with people.

“All of those puppies are adoptable, and it just gives them a chance to socialize with people and obviously gives us a chance to play with them,” Edquist said.

One of the main costs of running a rescue is the medical bills. Theta Phi helped Heaven After Hell Rescue pay off their medical debt in 2017. Any current and future medical bills will be paid with funds raised, Edquist said.

Fulford said the event can provide stress relief for the students, as local and national life becomes crazier.

Spirit, Bebop and Duke are rescue animals up for adoption, and Duke is in the middle of the adoption process.

Bird offers payment to charge scooters

By Joe Schroeder joemschr@iu.edu | @joemschroeder

Bird electric scooters recently appeared on IU’s campus, and the company has outsourced their charging to students and Bloomington locals.

The company calls the people who charge birds “hunters.” The hunters drive around finding the scooters on campus, taking them back to their houses and fully charging them overnight.

Bird calls this process “capturing” a scooter, and hunters can start capturing at 9 p.m., when people can no longer ride the scooters.

Then, between 4 and 7 a.m., hunters return the scooters to “nests,” or designated drop-off areas around town.

“They’re kind of in random places,” senior Colin McManama said. “There is one out by the College Mall and one by Mother Bear’s.

You can put three in a nest at one time.”

Bird tells their hunters that scooters can take a maximum of six hours to charge, and hunters get paid more if a captured scooter has less charge. Payment varies based on a scooter’s last updated location, how hard they deem finding it and its

charge.

They also give rewards for finding “lost” scooters.

“If a bird hasn’t been used in a certain amount of time, Bird decides that the scooter is lost,” senior Nick Borne said. “They pay you $20 for charging that scooter if you’re able to find it.”

Unlike hunters, Bird customers do not have a specific drop-off area for scooters.

There are rules, such as not blocking a public pathway, but scooters can end up in some places that are difficult for hunters to locate.

“I saw a scooter behind Eigenmann in the app the other day that they were offering a lot of money for, so I went to go look,” McManama said. “I was looking and thought there was no way it actually existed, but saw a little bit of the handle poking out from behind a dumpster.”

Bird does not require hunters to comply to a schedule, so people can pick and choose when they want to go out and make money.

Some students see this as a way to make easy spending money.

“At first I downloaded the app to just rent a scooter,” McManama said. “I saw ‘become a charger’ in the app, read up on it, and it seemed like a really easy way to make

money.”

Once the scooters landed on campus, Borne’s roommate, senior Justin Wentz, signed up and was sent three chargers.

He then asked Borne if he’d like to help capture scooters because Borne has a pickup truck.

“I figured that the scooters would already be charging on my electric bill, so I should make some off of it,” Borne said.

Chargers are sent through the mail, and hunters usually receive three when they sign up.

“I was really surprised with how small the chargers are,” McManama said. “They kind of just look like laptop

chargers.”

If a hunter successfully captures a scooter, charges it and returns it to a nest before 7 a.m., the company pays them through direct deposit.

The money is usually put in the hunter’s account the same day.

“The whole thing is a pretty quick process,” Borne said.

People can become a charger through the Bird app. Once applicants sign up, a Bird employee will text the applicant to ask other questions such as what type of car he or she will be using and how often he or she can do it.

Once an applicant receives a charger in the mail, the hunt is on.

A Mediterranean Chipotle — that is how co-owner Hilary Martel explains her new restaurant, Feta Kitchen and Cafe.

Feta, located on 600 East Hillside Dr., officially opened Sept. 21. It offers counter service Mediterranean food.

The location doubles as a cafe, where they offer various baked goods, coffees and smoothies. The kitchen is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. while the cafe part opens at 8:30 a.m. and stays open until 10 p.m.

“For me, eating healthy is really important, and with two young kids it can be hard to find fresh healthy food on the go or in a fast-casual setting,” Martel said.

She said she feels it is a good place for students because it is quick but healthy.

Hilary and her husband, Hartzell, own Hartzell’s Ice Cream and Jiffy Treet, so this is not their first business.

However, it is their first restaurant.

“We thought the town was really saturated with ice cream, and we don’t have any experience in restaurants,” Hilary Martel said. “This was a concept we thought would do really well, so we just dove into it.”

She said the biggest difference between a restaurant and their ice cream shops was how much labor would go into making the food.

They make everything for the restaurant from scratch, just as they make ice cream at Hartzell’s, but since there are so many more items on their menu, it requires a lot more labor.

To order, customers can

start by choosing a base of grain, salad, grains and greens, hummus, tabbouleh or a flatbread.

Next is the protein, which includes falafel, gyro meat, roasted vegetables and various other options.

Then there are various dips that can be added and toppings. Lastly, they can add dressings like lemon Tahini or red wine vinaigrette.

Besides bowls, they have various side dishes, such as feta fries, roasted vegetables and flatbread with hummus.

This idea was something Hilary Martel said she had seen in big cities but not in Bloomington.

The Martel’s have been working on the project for a year and half. The design and build process was lengthy because it is an entirely new building.

“We literally designed every aspect of it,” Martel said.

She said she wanted the inside to feel mid-century modern and achieved this by having bright colors and geometric lighting fixtures.

She added that they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, outlets and even one table that can seat a lot of people for a large meeting.

Junior Kari Joest said she went to a soft opening event Sept. 12.

“I work for Hartzell and his wife for Hartzell’s Ice Cream, and this has been something they’ve been working really hard for the past year,” Joest said.

Joest said while she was there, she tried a falafel on flatbread and has returned since the opening.

“I’ve already brought people back there and I’ve had it a couple times since the opening,” Joest said.

IUDM’s Day of Hope raises nearly $500,000

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

Junior Christine Adams taped herself to the Sample Gates to raise money for IU Dance Marathon on Thursday afternoon. She was attempting to raise money for IUDM’s Day of Hope, which occurred from midnight to midnight Sept. 27 to 28.

IUDM’s Day of Hope raised $497,328.23 this year.

Junior Kelsey Lowe, public relations director, said the Day of Hope has a special place in her heart.

“I love Day of Hope because that was the first time that I truly felt connected to the organization last year,” Lowe said.

Day of Hope is IUDM’s biggest fundraising push all year. From 8 a.m. to midnight Sept. 27, committee members are in the Indiana Memorial Union fundraising.

They get donations through social media messages, phone calls and sale of merchandise.

The premise for the Day of Hope came from the idea that IUDM can raise $1 for every child treated at Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health in Indianapolis during 2016, Day of Hope’s inaugural year.

Every year, they change the monetary goal to fit that

year’s number of patients.

In 2017, they raised approximately $480,000, exceeding the goal of $300,000, Lowe said.

“The entire premise is the symbolism behind having $1 for every kid treated at that hospital,” Lowe said. “We want to give hope to those kids.”

Senior Peyton Allan, vice president of finances, said another reason the Day of Hope was created was to help raise awareness.

“The Day of Hope started in 2016, and was created really to spread awareness and bring back the cause connection for IUDM,” Allan said.

“To get away from the idea that IUDM is just numbers.”

On Sept. 28, Riley Hospital for Children is celebrating $50,000,000 in donations from Dance Marathons in Indiana, Allan said.

“Something that’s really cool is that IUDM was the first-ever Dance Marathon in the nation, but we raised 32 of that 50,000,000,” Allan said.

The feeling of family also helps students join the organization and stay.

Senior Nick Kersting said coming to IU from Illinois left him without a community, but IUDM provided for him.

Kersting loves the Day of Hope because you can feel

the organization come together and sacrifice commitments and class time to help people, he said.

“I was looking for a community and to do something bigger than myself,” Kersting said.

Junior Annie Sung said the Day of Hope is important to her because it’s one of the days that she feels the true

sincerity of the organization. She said joining Dance Marathon at her high school, Floyd Central High School, changed every aspect of her life.

Sung comes back every year because participating in IUDM gives her a deep sense of appreciation and warmth, she said.

Allan said if anyone is

even remotely interested, they should stop by the hype room, situated in the Dogwood Room, and check it out for themselves.

“Just stop by the hype room for 30 minutes and you’ll understand it,” Allan said. “It’s a completely contagious environment.”

The Day of Hope hype is indescribable, and the feel-

ing she gets seeing hundreds of people in one room dedicated to the same goal is unimaginable, Lowe said.

“Being able to see hundreds of people in one room, all doing the same thing, just getting so excited about breaking records about how much money we can raise in 24 hours, it’s unlike anything,” Lowe said.

City IU students create STEM outreach program seeking new arts official

Applications to fill a vacant position on the Bloomington Arts Commission are now being accepted by the City of Bloomington Office of the City Clerk.

The position is available for city residents. Potential applicants are urged to attend a meeting of their desired board or commission prior to applying.

The Bloomington Arts Commission, established in 1980, works to encourage the Bloomington community to become involved in fine arts.

Information about the Arts Commission, membership requirements, listings, meeting schedules and locations, and online applications can be found at bloomington.in.gov/onboard. Applications are also available at the City Clerk’s Office in Showers City Hall at 401 N. Morton St.

What began as a small idea in an IU neuroscience lab is now an outreach program stretching across the state of Indiana. The Hoosier STARS Initiative is bringing IU undergraduates back into high school classrooms to educate students about the importance of science.

When Keiland Cooper was a freshman at IU, the professor in his neuroscience lab told him outreach was just as important science.

“I personally think outreach is a really important thing and I think that the more we as scientists engage in it, the better society will be in general,” assistant professor Ehren Newman said.

As a result, Cooper, along with others in the lab, created the Hoosier STARS Initiative, a program that brings IU undergraduate students to high schools across Indiana to teach students about science and the benefits of research.

STARS stands for students teaching about research and science.

Cooper, now a senior studying cognitive science and neuroscience, created the program three years ago.

T NT AN W WA E EE F RE FR

During this time the STARS have traveled to five different high schools and reached almost 250 students across the state.

“The high schools we choose are usually the high schools we went to, which is really cool,” Cooper said. “It’s also really cool when you’re in front of the students and can say ‘hey I sat in that seat 3 years ago.’”

“The high schools we choose are usually the high schools we went to, which is really cool.”

Keiland Cooper, Creator of STARS

When the STARS get in front of a classroom, Cooper said the presentation is in three parts. They begin with an introduction where the undergraduates tell stories of how they got involved in research, then work with the high schoolers on a handson experiment and conclude with a question-and-answer session.

“We’re trying to promote the idea that there’s opportunities in college beyond your traditional classroom experience and that this is something you can get if you come to a research university like

Indiana,” Newman said.

Newman runs the neuroscience lab where the Hoosier STARS Initiative began.

Cooper is the program director, and other undergraduates in the lab participate when they can.

Not only does the program benefit the high school students, Cooper said, but it is also a valuable learning experience for the undergraduates. Cooper said the undergraduates are learning that outreach and lab work are equally important in research.

“You can’t have one without the other,” Cooper said.

“It’ll kind of build that connection more between the public and the scientists.”

Cooper said feedback from the high school teachers and students has been better than expected. He said teachers are excited to have their old students come back and the high schoolers are interested in what they have to say.

“Literally anything a student can do that’s not the normal lesson is fun, even if it’s a quiz,” Cooper said. “If it’s a quiz that we give them, it’s a fun quiz.”

The program is currently focused in neuroscience, but he said the goal is to make this initiative something that

all branches of academia can use. Cooper said he could even think of a history version of the program.

“The goal is to have this template and give it to any lab, or really anybody to kind of plug their own spin into it and then do the same thing,” Cooper said.

Although the program is still growing, Newman said he is happy with the progress they’ve made, and has already seen firsthand the effect they’ve had on high school students. He has received multiple follow up emails from IU students who had been in the audience of a Hoosier STARS presentation in high school.

“We make it very specifi-

cally one of our goals to help them understand how to get involved in research if they wanted to whether now or when they get to college,” Newman said.

Although he pushed for the creation of the program, Newman said he leaves the leadership role to Cooper. He said he wants the outreach work to be done completely by the students so that they can be proud of their accomplishments.

“I want them to know that it was them,” Newman said.

“When they come back from a school, the reason why the students in the classroom were so excited by the presentation was because of what they did.”

Editors Emma Getz and Ethan Smith opinion@idsnews.com

EDITORIAL BOARD

Deer cull in Bloomington an act of goodwill hunting Hunting has been a part of humanity for the better part of two million years.

In many cultures hunting was a revered practice essential for sustainable living.

However, in the recent decades, hunting has turned into disreputable activity due to stereotypes.

It is the opinion of the editorial board that instead of being an outdated practice, hunting is still a vitally important practice, especially in the case of Griffy Lake.

Consider that humans have indirectly and directly caused one of the biggest mass extinction events in this planets history.

We have deforested significant portions of land to build our cities, roads and villages. There is nearly no part of this earth that humanity has not negatively affected in some way.

With all that in mind, it is obvious that we cannot leave any local ecosystem to its own devices.

We have changed the planet too much for it to survive naturally on its own.

We are collectively a disturbance in every ecosystem we touch.

A perfect example is the Griffy Lake Nature Preserve, a nature preserve with an overpopulation of deer.

LYDIA GERIKE | IDS

Normally deer population is curtailed by natural predators such as wolves or coyotes.

However, there are few natural predators left, as humans decided to kill them for the sake of safety.

This leads to a problem,

a man-made problem, of deer overpopulation. Without any predators around to routinely curtail the population, the deer population explodes. This is the start of a trophic cascade, which is when a key species is removed from an ecosystem,

resulting in the subsequent explosion and decline of every population in a food web.

Essentially, the deer will eat themselves to death by eliminating their food source via overconsumption.

This will continue with every subsequent species until only the grass is left.

This is a problem that can only be solved by humans, as it was created by humans.

The solution is grizzly for some and sport for others.

Hunting is the only thing

that can save the deer from themselves. Acting as a surrogate for the natural predators of the past, hunters must go out and cull the population. If they don't, in 20 years there will be no deer left. It is the morally correct thing to do.

Arguing against regulated hunting is arguing for the eventual extinction of the deer.

It is more important to maintain a balanced ecosystem than making sure people aren’t upset about the ordered killing of cute animals.

This is especially true since most of those same people have no complaints reaping the benefits of factory farming.

Much of the distaste for hunting comes from misinformation, stereotypes and Bambi. In truth, hunting is a necessity if we are to be good stewards for the environment and solve the damage that has been done.

If you can stomach a steak that came directly from a factory farm or drive a car that is polluting the environment, you can certainly stomach the necessary killing of animals.

Do not hate hunters in the case of the deer cull, for they are doing more to protect the environment than most.

Kavanaugh case brings up bigger issues

The Supreme Court does not protect the citizens of the US

Elsbeth Sanders is a sophomore in molecular life sciences.

The situation with Brett Kavanaugh changes so often that CNN has a live-feed dedicated to documenting the most recent information. After the Senate Judiciary Committee approved the nomination Friday, allegations of sexual assault against the Supreme Court candidate are at the forefront of the conversation.

In response to these accusations, CNN interviewed Republican women in Florida about their take on the situation. These women essentially said Kavanaugh may have done what he is accused of, but it does not matter.

“Tell me what boy hasn’t done this in high school,” one woman even goes as far as to say.

The issue with statements such as these is much deeper than whether or not Kavanaugh is guilty.

The issue is that even if he did commit these acts of sexual assault, many are willing to just forget about it. We cannot dismiss a woman’s experiences, and we certainly cannot allow society to think that “boys”

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Brett Kavanaugh, Supreme Court Associate Justice nominee, at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C.

committing sexual assault is excusable and even normal and acceptable.

People may say that the accuser must be lying about being sexually assaulted because they were drunk.

Next, they will say that the assailant is completely innocent because he or she was drunk.

This double standard protects assailants if they are drunk and places blame on the person being assaulted if they are.

There is this idea that men cannot control them-

selves, so, if they sexually assault someone, it must be the other person’s fault. The person who was assaulted must have been dressed promiscuously or must look older than her age.

If the assaulter is actually found guilty, he can evade punishment just because the judge thinks he has a bright future, like Brock Turner.

Those who make the rules of our society consistently view sexual assault as less serious than it is, and those who commit it are

able to easily forget about it, while those who were assaulted have to walk the long road to recovery.

Sexual assault, despite what many may think, is not normal male behavior.

Spreading the belief that it is normal, however, can make that come to fruition. Young, impressionable children will hear that it is normal for men to inappropriately touch women, and both boys and girls will absorb this belief.

Girls will think that it is normal to be assaulted, and boys will think that their actions do not have consequences.

Whether you believe Kavanaugh or you believe his accusers, the conversation behind this situation must change.

People should take the accusations seriously and not just ignore them because they do not think they matter even if they are true.

If Kavanaugh is guilty, he must be held accountable because this is not normal male behavior. It is the behavior of a predator. It is a crime and must be punished. elssande@iu.edu

ALIGN WITH ALVARO

Watch out for the little things in your life Alvaro Michael is a senior in computer science.

On Friday, I received a letter from a Washington, D.C., friend of mine whom I’d met two summers ago while studying abroad in Paris.

We’ve been keeping up the exchange of handwritten letters on and off for about a year now, but we have just entered a new “on” phase. She wrote her letter on notebook paper with broad characters, elaborating on her second trip to France, asking me about my plans “post-graduation.”

Eagerly, I composed a letter of my own to write back — a full sheet and then half of another — answering some of her questions and posing new ones as well.

Then I folded my papers up, placed them in an envelope, and slipped the fresh ink into my apartment mailbox, which hangs on the wall outside with the others.

The next day, I found new mail in my box — just some advertisements — in addition to my untouched,

stamped letter that I thought would already by bound for the capital by now.

“Huh,” I thought, examining the letter. “Why didn’t he take it?”

I suspected my problem was the flap on top of the box. Maybe the flap was the equivalent of the traditional red mailbox flag: leave it up if you have outgoing mail.

After repositioning it, I left Bloomington for the weekend. Upon my return, I was greeted, once again, by my own loyal untouched envelope.

Not wanting to risk another day of non-delivery, I wrote on a post-it a small request: “Dear Mailman, Please take my letter inside my mailbox. Thank you.”

Understandably, it sounds like something a clueless and lonely child would write, some kind of effort to strike up an exchange of messages with the mailman himself that would culminate in a lasting feel-good friendship (Hollywood has probably already done it). But I was lost and confused. Do I place the let-

ter on top of the mailbox?

Under it? Better to make my wish explicit.

Then today, as I was rounding the corner of the porch towards the steps on my way to class, I saw a real mailman at my box, and he was writing on my note. I glided past him, not wanting him to connect my ignorance with my face, even though in the long run it probably wouldn’t matter.

Still, like a child again, I was ecstatic that he would take the time to reply. Not merely following my words, this man was composing his own. What could he be saying? Maybe he’s writing a joke or something clever. I was dying to know.

On the sidewalk, I hid under my umbrella until the mailman left. Then I bounded back up and snatched the scribbled yellow note off my mailbox, which was empty at last.

“All outgoing mail is to be placed outside box,” he wrote. An arrow gestured towards the small rusty binder clip on the lip of the mailbox, whose use — up

to this point – had been unknown to me: “Use the clamp.”

“Oh, I get it,” I thought.

The clip had not simply been placed there due to the boredom or recklessness of one of my previous tenants, as I had originally believed.

The clip in fact had a meaning. But I am the kind that sometimes only gets it if you write it out for me in large clear words. My friend the mailman did so, and now, thanks to him, I can decisively send mail.

It does make me wonder, though, if I’m making my life more complicated than it needs to be: maybe there are little items everywhere, such as the clip on my mailbox, that look like accidents but have an actual purpose.

If only we considered what the use could be for the seemingly useless, there might be more in the world at our fingertips.

And for me, I would have gotten that damn letter out sooner. alvmicha@iu.edu

Emma Getz is a junior in English and history.

The Supreme Court is a disgrace to democracy and the common American citizen and therefore it should be abolished.

The definition of a democracy is a government ruled by the people, which is something the United States has never been, as much as its political rhetoric might convince one otherwise.

Laws are made by elected representatives, but when it comes to interpreting these laws, the responsibility falls on an unelected establishment.

The Supreme Court is the greatest example of an aristocracy and the traditional white American establishment.

The fact of the matter is it is nowhere near representative of the U.S. population visually, demographically or socioeconomically.

The current justices of the Supreme Court consist of five men and three women, only two of them being people of color.

On top of that, all of them have Ivy League educations.

The average justice is worth between $2 million and $20 million dollars.

These are wealthy lawyers at the height of privilege who are appointed for life.

There is an empty seat, but the current pick is another white man and an accused sexual assailant at that.

The justices of the Supreme Court are not fighting for the American people.

Of course progress has been made due to Supreme Court cases, but, at best, the famous progressive decisions are signs of giving into political pressure at the last possible second, when it is already safe.

In cases like Obergefell v. Hodges and Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court was simply legally validating widely accepted social norms and concepts of human rights.

Brown v. Board of Education decided in 1954 that racial segregation of public schools is unconstitutional.

Not only was this decision long overdue, but in 1955, they let all future cases of school desegregation fall to the public courts, essentially allowing local gov-

ernments to evade desegregating their schools or avoid it completely.

Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas infamously called on the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine black students in Little Rock from entering a school.

Those students are now recognized in history as the “Little Rock Nine”.

If a case that allowed the National Guard to forcibly keep black children out of schools is currently lauded as one of the Supreme Court’s more progressive decisions, then their record in upholding and progressing human rights is abysmal.

There are more much less progressive decisions that are often not taught in school.

In the 1927 case Buck v.

Bell, the court even upheld eugenics by deciding that the state of Virginia had the right to sterilize an 18-yearold girl with a mental handicap.

Even liberals fall victim to worshiping the white establishment justices of the past like Antonin Scalia, who is praised by many on both sides for his eloquence and philosophical mind.

Of course, he used this famous eloquence to compare homosexuality to murder, state that black students would do better in “slowertrack schools” and that the constitution does not protect from discrimination on the basis of gender or sexual orientation.

Supreme Court justices are not fighting for us. They are appointed political pawns in order for the current president to uphold a government party majority.

They serve for life, and their antiquated views dictate the lives of millions of innocent people.

It is time to put this establishment behind us.

The U.S. Constitution was written for a nation of white, wealthy males, and we are not a nation of white, wealthy males.

We are a nation of youth.

We are a nation of powerful women, people of color, people of all different sexual orientations and socioeconomic backgrounds.

We cannot let the wealthy aristocracy dictate our laws anymore. emmagetz@iu.edu

of his career.

Glass passed it to Black on the left side, who sent a cross into the box.

The ball was in a position where only senior midfielder Austin Panchot could find it.

Panchot put his head on the ball, and it went over the outreaching hands of the goalkeeper to give the Hoosiers a 1-0 lead right before halftime.

“I knew there wasn’t much time left and that’s the time to be opportunistic,” Panchot said. “Ian put it in and I was trying to redirect it near post and catch the goalie off guard. It was a good end of the half for our team and it was definitely a boost going into the second half.”

Despite senior defender and captain Andrew Gutman not playing Sunday after a collision with a Northwestern player Sept. 26, it was a strong all-around performance from the IU defense.

The Hoosiers prevented the Nittany Lions from recording a shot in the sec-

Intergenerational Preschool.

To add more spaces, programs must satisfy state licensing regulations on requirements such as group sizes and staff-to-student ratios. The grant money will help fund additional staffing, supplies, facility improvements and need-based financial aid, according to a city press release.

Child care centers throughout the community requested more than four times the available funds.

The city’s high need is driven by relatively low state funding and recent closures of other programs in the community.

The YMCA of Monroe County closed its Center for Children and Families in December 2017, leaving many working families searching for alternatives.

Jill’s House Intergenerational Preschool, one of the grant recipients, has taken in many of these families, Elizabeth Stelle, director of the preschool, said. Since opening in September 2017 with Stelle serving as director and teacher for one

ond half. For the match, IU had a 14-2 advantage in shots. The Hoosiers also owned a 10-1 advantage in corner kicks.

It’s the first time since 2012 that IU has started Big Ten Conference play with a 3-0 record.

IU will ride this ninegame winning streak into

Lexington, Kentucky, for its next match. The Hoosiers will face No. 7 Kentucky for their fourth top-10 matchup away from Bill Armstrong Stadium.

In its previous three games on the road against top-10 opponents, IU lost in overtime to Wake For-

est, defeated North Carolina and beat Notre Dame in overtime.

“It felt like we were in control whistle to whistle,” Yeagley said. “It was probably the most complete game by our defending unit. This game was crucial for us to get back to the top of the Big Ten.”

classroom of five kids, the program has expanded to eight staff members for three classrooms of a total of 30 students.

“The need in our community is huge,” Stelle said.

The grant money will allow the preschool to serve eight infants and 10 oneyear-olds in a new space.

Additional staffing requirements for young children contribute to an especially pronounced demand for infant care. Parents often put their infants on wait lists during pregnancy.

The Bloomington Center for Global Children has waitlists for its infant and young toddler classrooms, but there is space available in the older toddler and PreK classrooms.

The center intends to create about 15 new spaces through staffing, materials and preparations enabled by the grant money, said Sara Egli, executive director of the Bloomington Center for Global Children.

While city funding serves as a local way to address the issue, more still needs to be done.

“The city can only do so much,” Crowley said.

about the opportunity in class.

“My professor encouraged me to engage with the community and learn more about Bloomington and the arts,” Huang said. “I enjoy welcoming everyone to the village and seeing how they’re having fun at the festival.”

“Music is an international, worldwide language. It doesn’t matter what they’re saying because the song speaks to your heart.”

Bands and artists traveled from across the world to perform at Lotus Festival, some as far as China and India. IU alumna Denise Ruby from Chillicothe, Ohio, said she believes we should all embrace what makes us different, whether it’s what kind of music we listen to, food we eat or culture we call our own.

“I think that more community festivals need to happen,” Ruby said. “More people need to come together for celebration of differences.”

Lotus Festival allows residents of Bloomington to hear music from all around the world, and Bergstron said it’s a great way to bring people together.

“Music is an international, worldwide language,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what they’re saying because the song speaks to your heart.”

He said he also doesn’t like Kavanaugh’s past support of large corporations over workers’ rights.

Davis also talked about how Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allega-

tions against Kavanaugh made it even more clear that Kavanaugh is not fit to serve as a Supreme Court justice.

“It has to be relevant to his appointment because it affects the ability of him to do his job,” Davis said.

“I can’t get over how we talk about this,” Zent said. “So many people have called Kavanaugh a terrible man and Ford very bad names as well.

I’m scared that there are peo-

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Raising the banner

PHOTOS BY TY VINSON | IDS

The IU women’s basketball team huddles with former teammates Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill during the 2018 Hoosier Hysteria on Sept. 29, in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

IU celebrates WNIT victory, looks to new season

By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

IU women's basketball Coach Teri Moren stood in front of the Hoosier Hysteria crowd at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall recalling her life growing up as an IU fan.

She then tied in that childhood with the 13,007 fans that showed up in the 2018 WNIT championship game March 31.

"I never thought I would see a crowd like that, a crowd all the way up in the rafters watching women’s basketball,” Moren said.

The 2017-18 women's team brought the program to new heights, winning its first WNIT title.

It was at this year's Hoosier Hysteria that the celebration reached its peak, as the championship banner was raised into the rafters of Assembly Hall.

The lights dimmed, and the scoreboard played a video of the championship game victory over Virginia Tech. A spotlight shined on the banner as it rose up into the air on the south end of the arena, facing the five men's national championship banners hanging in Assembly Hall.

The Women’s National Invitation Tournament banner is hung in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall to memorialize the 2018 win. The banner was hung Sept. 29, during Hoosier Hysteria.

“It’s just an indescribable feeling,” senior Kym Royster said. “A banner hasn’t been hung in here in a long time. It’s going to feel good to be part of something this special.”

No banner-raising would be complete

without two key parts of the team's run. To a standing ovation, Moren brought Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill out on the floor.

“Two of the all-time ever to wear an Indiana jersey,” Moren said of Buss and Cahill. “They were pretty significant in that

championship game against Virginia Tech.”

They weren’t just significant against Virginia Tech, but they were also significant in building a foundation at IU. Buss left IU as the all-time scoring leader in the history of the women’s basketball program.

“It’s a huge step in the right direction —just seeing that and continuing to move forward from here,” sophomore Jaelynn Penn said.

Moren continually thanked fans during her speech, especially for being there during the WNIT tournament run. In the championship game against Virginia Tech, the crowd set the record for the largest to view a women’s game at Assembly Hall.

“You are the best part of Indiana,” Moren said to the fans.

The banner raising also marked the end of the celebration. After the team's first practice Thursday and Hoosier Hysteria, Moren and the Hoosiers talked about taking the next step.

“They have a lot of personality,” Moren said of her team. “They are a fun group. Expectations are always high in our program, and this year is not any different.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

2018-19 team introduced during Hoosier Hysteria

By Ben Portnoy bmportno@iu.edu | @bportnoy15

With the lights dimmed and various graphics flashing on the floor, the 2018 IU men’s basketball team was introduced to fans for the first time in the 2018-2019 season.

Starting with the freshmen, the IU public address announcer read off the names of each of IU's youthful group.

As the first four names were read, cheers engulfed Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Then the final freshman was introduced.

The screams and shouts were so loud that his name was drowned out by the noise. Sporting a white band on his right wrist and a rolled down, red shooting sleeve on his left, Romeo Langford entered the court in an IU jersey for the first time.

Saturday afternoon, Langford and the rest of the IU men’s basketball team kicked off the 2018 season with Hoosier Hysteria.

“It never gets old,” Coach Archie Miller said to the crowd as the lights flipped on. “Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, with all these people in here, it gets everybody. Gets the blood boiling.”

The annual event, which serves as much as a recruiting day as it does actual competitive basketball, offered onlookers their first glimpse at what this year’s squad will look like.

In his opening address, Miller posited to the crowd that he wanted Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall to be as difficult a place for opponents to play

as there is in college basketball for opponents.

“We need this home floor to be as dominant of a building to play in for our opponent as it can be,” Miller said. “We’re going to need you every single night to be able to give us a chance.”

As for the scrimmage, Saint Mary's College of California graduate transfer Evan Fitzner demonstrated why Miller brought him to Bloomington as he knocked down two threes on the day. Backup sophomore point guard Al Durham was also impressive in the short contest.

After flicking a pass to redshirt freshman Race Thompson, who converted an alley-oop, Durham drained a tightly contested three pointer from the wing, showing his offensive versatility.

The highly praised Langford was quiet in the game, scoring just one basket on a teardrop floater.

Beyond the scrimmage, the Hoosiers joined with the women’s team for a three-point contest.

Juwan Morgan and partner Brenna Wise knocked down 20 combined shots in the final round to vanquish the teams of Evan Fitzner and Grace Withrow, and Damezi Anderson and Jaelynn Penn.

In the dunk contest, Langford took home the title thanks to a crowd vote after he finished a spinning tipdunk in the final round.

Saturday aside, IU opens their actual campaign against Chicago State on Nov. 6 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

VOLLEYBALL

IU falls in straight sets to Golden Gophers

By Stefan Krajisnik stefkraj@iu.edu | @skrajisnik3

From the first point of the match, it was clear that No. 6 Minnesota would not let IU volleyball come close to pulling off an upset like No. 7 Illinois had done on Sunday.

In the first set, Minnesota jumped out to an early lead that would eventually reach its peak at 23-13.

The Hoosiers did put together a stretch of eightstraight points, but the set would end with no ties or lead changes as the Golden Gophers won it 25-18.

“You can’t give really good teams lots of opportunities to score,” IU Coach Steve Aird said. “We didn’t pass great. We didn’t serve great. When that happens, especially against a really good team, you’re going to have some struggles.”

The run the Hoosiers had at the end of the first carried to some momentum in the second, where it was back and forth until 12-12.

From there, Minnesota

Sophomore libero Bayli Lebo celebrates after scoring a point against Minnesota on Saturday night. The IU women’s volleyball team lost to the Golden Gophers, setting their record to 11-4 for the season.

flexed its muscle to go on a 5-0 run and eventually take the set 25-19.

“Even if they are significantly better than us, there’s

always ways to pick off teams,” sophomore outside hitter Kamryn Malloy said.

“You see when the scores get tight, we can hang with

people and it’s just about being consistent.”

The third set was taken easily by Minnesota with a score of 25-14.

On numerous occasions throughout the match, it was clear that Aird was upset with his team’s showing.

However, he said he still takes pride in his team’s fight against a highlyranked opponent.

“I’m not looking at it like it’s a total defeat of an evening,” Aird said. “I think we’re a pretty good volleyball team. I don’t think we’re top-25 good, but I think we’re good enough to play with people.”

IU was without its top attacker in junior Kendall Beerman against Illinois, but she was able to come back and play in the team’s win at Ohio State on Wednesday.

Beerman picked up her 700th career kill in the match with Minnesota, but came out just a few points later with a lower body injury — the same injury that kept her out against Illinois.

Without Beerman, the Hoosiers are forced to play without three injured outside hitters, damaging the team’s depth.

“Everyone needs to be ready to play, and I think everyone is,” Malloy said.

“It’s important being versatile and being able to play different positions because you never know when we’re going to need you.”

Facing two top-10 opponents in the same week can do some damage to a team’s record, but IU is also learning a lot from its strong opponents.

“We see how fast and how consistent these top-10 teams are, and we want to try and emulate that,” Malloy said. “We’re focusing on ourselves most of the time, but we can also take some key points from other teams noticing that Minnesota is just calm. Even if they’re losing, you can’t tell by their faces and their composure.”

IU will now have nearly a week off before traveling to Michigan State on Friday.

It will give IU a chance to settle in and look to improve its 11-4 overall record.

The team will play back -toback matches when it faces Michigan on Satruday.

Three takeaways from IU’s road victory over Rutgers

By Sean Mintert smintert@iu.edu | @sean_mintert20

It wasn’t pretty, but IU did just enough to defeat Rutgers 24-17 on Saturday afternoon.

After leading 24-7 at halftime, the Hoosiers were shut out in the second half, but IU withstood a fourthquarter rally from the Scarlet Knights.

Thanks to 339 total yards and two total touchdowns from sophomore quarterback Peyton Ramsey, along with another good showing from IU’s defense, the Hoosiers improved to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten Con-

ference.

Here are three key takeaways from IU’s first Big Ten win of 2018.

1. The IU defense looked strong yet again.

For most of the game, IU’s defense was stifling, holding Rutgers quarterback Artur Sitkowski to just 154 yards passing and limiting the Scarlet Knights to just 98 yards rushing.

Sitkowski never looked comfortable against the Hoosier defense, as he was sacked twice and also threw an interception in the end

zone.

After scoring a touchdown on the opening drive of the game, Rutgers was unable to score again until the fourth quarter, allowing IU to extend its lead to 21 points.

Sophomore Husky Marcelino Ball returned from his one-half suspension in the second half, and he seemed to provide an immediate boost as he picked up a tackle for loss and a pass breakup on his first series back.

2. The IU offense stalled in the second half.

For the second time in

four games, IU failed to score in the second half.

After scoring 24 points and looking unstoppable in the first half, the Hoosier offense went to sleep after the break.

In the first half, IU scored on all four of its possessions, and jumped out to a 24-7 lead behind two touchdowns from Ramsey and a 16-yard touchdown run from freshman running back Stevie Scott.

In the second half, IU looked like a completely different team.

After racking up 285

yards and avoiding turnovers in the first half, the Hoosiers could only muster 164 total yards along with two turnovers in the second half.

IU has been able to survive both games in which it failed to score in the second half, but the offense will need to improve its ability to close out games as the schedule gets tougher during the coming weeks.

3. No matter how sloppy it was, IU is now 4-1.

With tough games against Ohio State, Iowa

and Penn State in the near future, this was a must-win game for IU with regard to its bowl hopes.

Despite the poor second half on offense, the Hoosiers still walked out of Piscataway, New Jersey, with a victory.

With this win, IU is now just two wins away from bowl eligibility with seven games remaining.

The Hoosiers may not have looked like a great team on Saturday afternoon, but they picked up a road win in the Big Ten and that’s most important.

Lotus Festival blooms into 25 years of music

By David Brinson dabrinso@iu.edu

The 2018 Lotus World Music and Arts Festival officially began at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on Thursday night with live performances from the band Uncle Earl and Malian musician Mamadou Kelly.

“Lotus brings people together,” Lotus Executive Director Sunni Fass said.

The concert kicks off a weekend filled with performances by musicians from all over the world, international cuisine and many interactive exhibits, all sprinkled around downtown Bloomington.

This year marked the 25th anniversary of the festival.

Fass started with the organization back in 2001 when she was still a student at IU. She majored in ethnomusicology and found Lotus to be a perfect fit.

“It’s an amazing organization,” Fass said. “I’ve worked with lots of arts organization and this one is special.”

Fass said the annual fes-

tival, along with its community presence during the rest of the year, has only grown bigger and bigger since she started as an undergrad. As executive director, it is her

duty to “make sure all the pieces work together.”

“This is an opportunity for everyone, people from all over the world, that otherwise would never meet, to

actually meet and talk with one another,” Fass said. “It lets us get beyond just the soundbites.”

Kelly opened with his hybrid African sound. The

string-focused, all-woman group, Uncle Earl followed.

Molly Bendalin, a sophomore psychology major, attended the concert for extra credit in a class.

“I’m excited to immerse myself in the music and the different kinds of culture,” Bendalin said.

When asked whether she’d be attending more of the events that weekend, just for pleasure, she paused.

“We’ll see how the concert tonight goes,” she said with a laugh.

Women of all hair colors, from bright red to white, danced to the music in the front row.

Bloomington residents and visitors were introduced to a new world of music. Some had already fallen in love with it.

Jim Brown, a resident of St. Louis, made his ninth journey to the festival.

As he waited in line to get into the concert, he said African music is by far his favorite genre, though he appreciates the diversity of the festival.

“African music, hearing it on a CD is one thing.

It’s a whole other to hear it performed live,” Brown said. “The lineup of exceptional talent from all over the world. I’d say that’s what keeps me coming back.”

Cherub involves fans at the Bluebird

By Matt Rasnic mrasnic@iu.edu | @Matt_Rasnic

On the 13th stop of its five-month tour, electro-indie duo Cherub stopped in Bloomington at the Bluebird Nightclub.

Cherub has released four albums since 2011 including its most recent, “Bleed Gold, Piss Excellence.” Along with the start of its tour earlier this month, Cherub released a new single Sept. 7 titled “Want That.”

Before the duo performed, Denver DJ Maddy O’Neal took the stage. She performed for an intimate crowd of around 50, and as the room began to fill with people, it also began to fill with smoke from a smoke machine as bass rattled the floor.

O’Neal brings her mixture of electronic and hip hop to the five-month tour with Cherub titled “Free Form.” Thursday night she played songs like “Bangtown” from her newest EP “Dream State,” released in early August.

“Bloomington, y’all crushed it,” O’Neal said to the crowd just before her set ended.

Among the crowd were many IU students and devoted Cherub fans, including senior Shane Smelser.

Though the show was Smelser’s fifth Cherub concert, he still arrived when the doors opened at 8 p.m. to ensure he was in the front.

“They’re just so energetic, fun and I like so many of their songs,” Smelser said. “I have bonded with my friends over them for so

many years.”

Around 10 p.m., the intimate crowd at the Bluebird began to get impatient, cheering to false alarms as lights flashed and music turned on and off.

Suddenly, the room went dark, and to a chorus of screams, the duo took the stage.

“What up Bloomington,” Jason Huber, a member of the duo, yelled as Cherub stood, engulfed in blue lighting, surround by the sound of fans screaming.

The Nashville, Tennessee-based duo consisting of Jordan Kelley and Jason Huber kicked off the concert with their Billboard charting

hit “Doses & Mimosas.”

After playing “XOXO” from their 2013 album “MoM & DaD” Huber blew kisses to the crowd as Kelley gave a special shout out.

“Big shout out to shampoo and conditioner because my hair feels fucking good right now,” Kelley said to the crowd between songs.

Later on in the show, he had a fan put his curly locks up with one of her hair ties, asking her to make sure she got all of his hair up.

“You didn’t get it all, but that’s OK,” he said, as he walked away with his hair in a ponytail.

Moving through the show, Kelley got fans from

the about 200-person crowd involved by grabbing hands and sharing the mic. During one song Kelley handed his mic to a fan to sing while he played the guitar. Fans made their way onto the stage, dancing to the music as the duo laughed and security got them off.

“This is some of the best fucking energy on this tour, sincerely,” Kelley said.

Cherub will be on tour through January 2019. The duo will stop in Indiana again after two shows in Michigan on Sept. 30 for a show in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

CHRIS’S CRITICISMS

What we can learn from ‘Paddington 2’ Chris Forrester is a sophomore in journalism.

Earlier this year, Indiewire’s David Ehrlich coined and popularized the term “nicecore,” characterizing a growing genre of films predominantly concerned with the capacity of people to be kind, humane and loving. Ehrlich’s appraisal, naturally, focused on the delightful, hopeful and all around splendid “Paddington 2,” a children’s film about an adorable bear from the fictitious land of Darkest Peru that’s as much about the antics of its titular teddy as it is a parable for the struggles of immigrants.

Immigration was very much on the conscience of the less wonderful, albeit still superb “Paddington,” but it felt less politically minded than its sequel. It was a kind film, rife with a sort of pure, gentle sweetness that’s rare in kids’ movies. It was a simple little allegory about an immigrant finding his place in a

new culture, but it remained gently allegorical and delightfully untinged by any sort of real-world darkness.

But after its release in 2014 came the age of Trump, and an increase in global, anti-immigrant rhetoric. And then in response came the second “Paddington,” a children’s film beyond any shred of doubt, but a children’s film about an immigrant’s attempt to absolve himself of criminal charges for which he was wrongfully accused and working to change his community’s perception of strangers and cultural newcomers via the vitality of radical kindness.

Ehrlich’s aforementioned "nicecore" appraisal fits in.

It’s an appropriate characterization of a film that lives and breathes by its warm, cheerful and politically astute kindness-is-king philosophy.

As Paddington says, “If we are kind and polite, everything will be right.”

That sentiment feels right at home in a film geared to-

ward kids, but within the larger sociopolitical context of Brexit, the Trump era and the deceitful social attitudes and movements that enabled both, it’s easier understood as an important statement that’s universally accessible: kindness is key. That message is presented in a way that’s simple, but that also feels universal.

The characters, lead and supporting, are uniformly lovable, brought to life with immediacy and heart by a cast rounded out by A-listers like Sally Hawkins and Brendan Gleeson. Even Paddington himself, brought to life by British actor Ben Whishaw, radiates charm and heart aplenty. It’s that innate friendliness that lends the film its emotional clarity, rendering all of the interpersonal relationships with a sense of purity.

Perhaps the standout of the film, beyond Whishaw’s vocal performance as Paddington, is Gleeson’s stirring turn as Knuckles McGinty,

during a standout sequence about incarceration. It’s as if director Paul King wasn’t simply content to make a family-friendly knockout about the vitality of kindness toward strangers and the fundamentally revolutionary notion that anyone of any background deserves compassion post-Brexit, and decided to extend that beautiful philosophy to the incarcerated.

Which is, heady stuff for a kids’ movie, but it’s also powerful and affecting.

The prison sequence, beyond its aesthetic significance as a set piece that looks and feels like the distant cousin of a Wes Anderson movie, is vital to “Paddington 2,” because it’s the most radical and affecting illustration of the movie’s core ideas that kindness is life changing.

“Paddington 2” feels like something of a magic trick of a film; a magical concoction of whimsy, fanciful charm and poignant ideas that feel as vital for young viewers as for all others.

Gao, Rafea blend ancient cultures into lute melodies

By Varda He vhe@iu.edu

Against a backdrop of the gilded organ inside Bloomington’s First Presbyterian Church, two of the world’s most ancient instruments met in a dance of sounds Friday night.

Lotus World Music and Arts Festival attendees sat transfixed as Gao Hong, who plays the Chinese four-string lute called the pipa, and Issam Rafea, master of the Arabic lute known as the oud, skillfully fused their instruments together to create a harmonious combination.

Gao and Rafea met in the spring of 2017 at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota where Hong teaches and directs the Carleton Global Music Ensemble and Rafea was an artist-in-residence at the time.

Near the end of the semester, Gao had suggested they go into a studio and record some improvisations just for fun, which proved to be the beginning of their collaboration.

Gao said they bonded immediately once they started to play. The music they produced was so cohesive, it seemed as if they have been working together for years.

“We recorded 28 tracks without any rehearsing in one long session,” Gao said. “Each track was recorded in just one take.”

They picked 12 tracks for their album, titled “Life As Is: The Blending of Ancient Souls from Syria and China.”

“The name ‘Life As Is’ captured the spirit of what we are trying to do,” Gao said. “As we improvise all of our music, the pieces are different every time we play. We don’t want to repeat the same thing all the time, nor are we able to.”

As Gao and Rafea performed on stage, audience members were able to see the rapport they established through eye contact, small

gestures and listening to one another.

They started the night with a duet, followed by Rafea playing a hauntingly beautiful tune with the oud. Gao then performed one of her signature pieces, “Flying Dragon” followed by another improvised duet.

The pair then asked audience members to provide them with titles or themes, so they could create site and audience specific pieces based from the suggestions on the spot. Two interpretations the audience offered on Friday night were “sunset” and “spring rain.”

“Our roots play a big part because we grew up listening to and loving our native music,” Rafea said. “You then pick whatever bits and pieces of music you like as it is a universal language.”

“Our roots play a big part because we grew up listening to and loving our native music.”

Issam Rafea, musician

They also agreed that music needs to come from the deepest parts of the performer’s heart and soul.

“Playing with the heart is especially important in music improvisation,” Rafea said.

“It is all about the connection and the energy.”

Gao and Rafea’s performance is one of the many that made up Lotus Festival, a celebration of the beauty of the arts and music, which attracts talents from all over the world every fall.

Sarah Ryterband has been attending Lotus since its beginning 25 years ago.

“Combinations like this and the creativity is what I am here for,” Ryterband said.

“I come to hear things that I would never hear otherwise.”

MURPHY’S LAW

Fans should just have fun with Hoosier Hysteria Murphy Wheeler is a senior in journalism.

Archie Miller took the microphone at Saturday’s Hoosier Hysteria with an upbeat tone in his voice, even letting half a chuckle slip as he addressed the crowd.

He said the feeling of the fans being there “never gets old.”

And it was kind of weird.

To hear a man usually as serious as Miller come off in a jolly manner almost seemed unnatural, even if it was the slightest snippet of emotion.

It raised a good question about the festivities kicking off the new IU basketball season at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

If Miller, who would seemingly rather get down to business when it comes to basketball, can approach Hoosier Hysteria with lightheartedness, why can’t so many Hoosier fans do the same?

For the most part, the large crowd that attended Saturday had fun.

For example, one father standing up in the higher rows of the arena's lower bowl held his young daughter up on his shoulders so she could see the flashy oncourt video projections during player introductions.

But, this is a question for those fans who might take Hoosier Hysteria a bit too seriously. It’s for those who try to analyze every play from the Red vs. White scrimmage, or point out

who looked good in the 3-point and dunk contests.

shooting stroke and see why IU coveted him as an offseason addition. Or maybe fans can see how freshman sensation Romeo Langford carried himself in front of an IU crowd for the first time.

Yet, very little can be learned from those things.

They want to go out to halfcourt and dance during introductions and mess around with teammates during the dunk contest, regardless of who wins.

Take sophomore guard Devonte Green, who with five seconds remaining in the 3-point contest, held the ball and dribbled it, instead of shooting, just so he could

shoot a buzzer-beating shot.

Even in the scrimmage, junior guard Johnny Jager, who played a total of seven minutes as a walk-on last season, started for the white team instead of sophomore Al Durham.

“I think everybody had a lot of fun,” Fitzner said.

“Hopefully we put on a good show for them.”

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6 — Don’t overlook domestic chores. Home and family take priority today and tomorrow.

Handle home repairs and practical matters. Your suspicions get confirmed. Teamwork pays off.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Today is an 8 — Unexpected expenses could rock your boat. Avoid a conflict of interest. Stick to the budget, and postpone extras.

Defer payment, if possible. Stay in communication.

If there is any major takeaway from the night, it was something Miller hit on near the end of his speech.

He briefly brought up a mindset for his team this year that IU faithful have been hoping to hear for a while — reestablishing a dominant home atmosphere.

“We know Assembly Hall is one of the greatest places in all of college basketball to play," Miller said "But when it’s really, really good, we don’t lose at home, and that’s what we’re going to try and reestablish.”

But once Miller was through speaking, the fun truly began for the players.

Even afterwards, Durham had a big grin on his face as he recounted how much he enjoyed being in front of the home crowd again.

“The atmosphere was amazing,” Durham said.

“The Hoosier Hysteria fans are the best. It’s just unbelievable.”

Miller reiterated that same thought, saying the Hoosiers’ fans were the “best in college basketball.”

Yet, to truly live up to that high praise means to not nitpick every move a player makes in a glorified pick-up game.

Hoosier Hysteria wasn’t meant for that. There will be plenty of time for that during the regular season.

For now, just have fun — and relax.
