Protesters stand at the edge of a barricade blocking them from entering Franklin Hall while social scientist Charles Murray spoke inside. Many of the signs expressed themes of intolerance of white supremacy, betrayal and injustice.

SHATTERED SILENCE Charles Murray speaks at IU despite student protests

By Lydia Gerike lgerike@umail.iu.edu | @lydi_yeah

Charles Murray’s exit from Presidents Hall happened just as quickly and quietly as the promotion of his talk days before.

As he gave his speech Tuesday evening, the controversial social scientist’s voice carried over muted noises that, from inside the building, sounded like a broken metronome and people screaming on a roller coaster.

Murray paused.

“What I’m going to do is I’m just going to ignore them,” he said.

Outside, the sounds were much clearer. Protesters filled the area between Franklin Hall and Sample Gates and screamed, “Fuck Charles Murray.” One man banged a pot with a tire iron near the windows of Presidents Hall by Indiana Avenue. A Twix bar hung casually from his mouth.

As he clanged the metal objects together, Tom Westgard, 46, said he wasn’t worried about the police or the barricades they had set up in front of Franklin Hall, especially because his new spot was not guarded by law enforcement.

“I’m not sure there’s much they can do with me outside on a public sidewalk,” Westgard said.

Although Westgard, a Bloomington resident, has protested in the past, he had never used this noisy method before.

The pot was severely dented on the bottom from his banging, and he said his girlfriend’s pitbull, Birdie, probably wouldn’t be able to use it as a dish any longer.

On the other side of Sample Gates, a young boy in a unicorn mask stood on the makeshift fence and raised his middle fingers to police. The yellow SEE PROTEST, PAGE 4

IU students, Bloomington residents protest Murray

By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford

Robert and Judy Woodley were the first people lined up at the ticket entry Tuesday night by Franklin Hall to see controversial social scientist and author Charles Murray speak.

“I think Charles Murray is an important voice,” Robert said. “Whether you agree or not.”

Robert said he had read Murray’s book “Coming Apart” and agreed with what Murray said about society dividing into two parts. However, Robert said he did not agree with Murray’s conclusions in his book “The Bell Curve.”

In the book, there was a section that featured a discussion on racial differences affecting intelligence that caused controversy.

From inside Presidents

Hall, Robert said he believed that the security outside the building seemed like overkill. While he said he believes protesting is a right to exercise, preventing someone from speaking was inexcusable.

While the protests outside did not prohibit Murray from speaking about how the new upper class led to the election of President Trump, he did have to fight to ignore the commotion from outside the windows.

The last question of the night asked Murray how he wanted to respond to the protesters.

“I really wish you kept quiet while I was speaking,” he said.

Throughout the speech, chants of “Charles Murray, go away” and “Fuck Charles Murray” were audible SEE REACTIONS, PAGE 4

Rabbi, Jewish students discuss growing anti-Semitic sentiments

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfern

The first time IU freshman Jillian Osheroff ’s father traveled to the South, he was called out for being a Jew. “Where are your horns?” one man asked him.

However, the issue of anti-Semitism isn’t limited to the South, Rabbi Sue Silberberg said.

Silberberg has seen swastikas drawn on Jewish students’ dormitory room dry erase boards. She’s talked to countless students who have been the butt of jokes about their Jewish heritage. She’s even heard of a swastika etched onto the elevator walls at an IU residence hall.

In the last year, Silberberg, executive director of the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center, said she has seen a rise in prejudice toward Jews on campus.

“Every day, Jewish students have to face jokes and comments just for being who they are,” Silberberg said.

She said these instances, paired with recent bomb threats against Jewish community centers, show that anti-Semitism is not just in the past but a growing problem today.

Fifty-two percent of Americans are concerned about recent violence directed at Jews, according to a study published Thursday by the Anti-Defamation League. Almost half, 47 percent, of Americans said anti-Semitism has become a greater problem since the 2016 election than ever before in recent history.

As anti-Semitism grows,

5:30 p.m. The protest officially begins with remarks from IU student Julian Epp from the Young Democratic Socialists of Bloomington. The “Rally Against Charles Murray” was organized by IU English Grad Solidarity Coalition.

6:00 p.m. Protesters move from the central area outside of the main Franklin Hall entrance to the side of the building on Indiana Avenue so their chants and music could be heard inside Presidents Hall where Murray is speaking.

6:30 p.m. Protesters spread out to the exits around Franklin Hall and continue their chants while waiting for Murray to leave.

7:57 p.m. Police take protester and IU senior Stella Shaffer into Franklin Hall with her hands tied behind her back in zip ties. Shaffer burned a ticket to the Murray speech Monday.

8:00 p.m. Protesters chant “Let Stella go” at officers in front of Franklin Hall.

8:05 p.m. Police block the entrance to Franklin Hall after barricades were taken down and prevent the protesters from accessing the building.

8:10 p.m. Shaffer is released from police custody and returns to the protest.

8:20 p.m. Protesters continue shouting at the police in front of Franklin Hall.

8:55 p.m. Police go inside Franklin Hall while protesters remain.

9:00 p.m. Protesters start leaving the Franklin Hall steps.

Four Hoosiers declare for draft; Anunoby hires agent From IDS reports

ADELINA JUSUF | IDS

Rabbi Sue Silberberg, executive director of Helene G. Simon Hillel Center at IU, responded to recent threats against the Jewish community.

Silberberg said much of the responsibility in combating it should fall in the hands of the government.

“The government really sets the tone for the rest of the country,” Silberberg said. “It’s their responsibility to make sure it’s one of acceptance instead of hatred.”

Like Silberberg, 84 percent of Americans believe the government should play a role in curbing antiSemitism. Only 49 percent said President Trump should have done more to discourage anti-Semitism, according to the same study.

However, Silberberg said Trump failed in discouraging anti-Semitism so far because he has created a culture in which prejudice toward

minorities is tolerated and even expected. Through his rhetoric, Trump validated anti-Semites and made them feel justified in voicing their hatred, Silberberg said.

“Because of the political climate, hateful people really felt comfortable coming out of the woodwork to voice their hatred against Jews and any other minority in this country,” she said.

Brian Dickstein, IU sophomore and Jew, said Trump has also failed in speaking out against those who voice such hatred. He said Trump’s silence has been disheartening for the entire Jewish community.

Junior guards Rob Johnson and James Blackmon Jr., along with sophomore forwards OG Anunoby and Thomas Bryant, declared for the 2017 NBA Draft, IU announced Tuesday.

Johnson, Blackmon and Bryant will not hire agents, which allows them to come back to IU if they choose.

“These four young men all have unique talents and we support them in their decisions,” IU Coach Archie Miller said in a release. “We congratulate O.G. and hope that James, Robert and Thomas can benefit from this and make the best decision that will have a lifelong impact.”

Blackmon averaged 17 points per game last season and was named to the All-Big Ten Third Team. He currently ranks 33rd in school history with 1,235 career points.

“My ultimate goal has always been to play professionally, and this is an opportunity I want to take advantage of,” Blackmon said in a release. “This is an important process, and I am excited to take part in it.”

Johnson has made 87 starts for IU and averaged 12.8 points per game last season as a junior.

“I’m excited to go through this

process and use this as a learning experience,” Johnson said in a release. “Every player in college has the goal to compete at the highest level, and I’m looking forward to what the future may hold.”

Bryant has started all 69 games that he has played in for IU and averaged 12.6 points per game this past season.

“I’m going to put all my energy in getting the most out of this opportunity and see what the best decision will be for my future,” Bryant said in the release. “I love IU and my teammates, but having the opportunity to play basketball for a living has always been my dream.”

Anunoby is the only one of the four to hire an agent. He suffered a season-ending knee injury at Penn State in January but averaged 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game before getting hurt.

“I have enjoyed my time at Indiana, and after thinking this over with my family, I believe this is the best decision for me personally,” Anunoby said in the release. “I will always be grateful to Coach Crean, his staff and especially my teammates for two of the best years of my life. I wish Coach Miller and the program the best of luck in the future.”

Speaker talks about rise of fringe groups Madeline Dippel mldippel@indiana.edu @MadelineLDippel

The rapid growth of antiMuslim sentiments did not begin with the emergence of the Islamic State but through the increasing influence of anti-Muslim fringe groups in the media, said Christopher Bail, associate professor of sociology and public policy at Duke University. He spoke Tuesday in the Global and International Studies Building at the second lecture in the “Islam in the American Public Sphere” seminar series.

Bail led a discussion based on his book “Terrified: How Anti-Muslim Fringe Organizations Became Mainstream.”

“I was so impressed by it that I wanted to bring him to campus to talk about it,” said Abdulkader Sinno, associate professor of political science at IU, who organized the event.

Students, faculty and members of the public filtered

into the auditorium as Bail discussed how he gathered his data through social networks, search engines, newspapers and plagiarism software to track messages about Islam.

Bail used sources from both sides of the political spectrum to see how antiMuslim fringe groups helped shape sentiments in society.

His data analysis on the organizations promoting antiMuslim messages shows their doubling in size and influence from 2001 to 2008.

“Fear and anger in particular have the strongest impact on media coverage,” he said.

By 2008, Bail said these fringe groups had gained money and media visibility and created their own experts on terrorism to attack mainstream Muslim groups.

“Moderate mainstream Islam was not possible because every Muslim group was cast as a front for radicals from the fringe organizations,” he said.

A 17-year-old faces an attempted murder charge after he admitted to trying to fire a handgun at a sheriff ’s deputy. Prosecutors have not yet decided whether he’ll be tried as a juvenile or an adult.

The teen also faces charges for possession of a handgun with a destroyed serial number, resisting law enforcement, carrying a handgun without a license and unlawful use of body armor, according to a press release from the Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office. At about 9 p.m. Monday, a sheriff ’s deputy stopped the teen and another boy near the B-Line trail for riding a moped without lights. He noticed the moped had been hot-wired and tried to detain the boys. The driver fled on foot into nearby woods, and several deputies and Bloomington Police Department officers followed. One deputy saw the teen and ordered him to stop. The officer saw a silver handgun in his hand.

Chris Bail, an associate professor of sociology at Duke University, spoke at an event Tuesday evening about his book “Terrified; How Anti-Muslim Fringe Organizations Became Mainstream” in the Global and International Studies Building. Bail was presenting this talk while not even a mile away, at Franklin Hall, Charles Murray was preparing to speak.

This creates a strain within society because the nowmarginalized mainstream Muslim organizations cannot defend themselves, he said. Bail stressed the importance of acknowledging the

difference between mainstream and fringe ideas and correcting misinformation — not fighting fire with fire.

“These are people who are afraid,” he said. “It’s important to remember that as

you reach out. You might not be able to, in one conversation, to convince someone that their views are wrong, but you may be able to encourage them to look at a different source of information.”

Teen admits to attempt to shoot sheriff ’s deputy

organizations in the media is shown not just through the conversation flowing in the public but in the legislation passed during spikes of antiMuslim sentiments, he said.

Bail said fear of Sharia law superseding the United States constitution invoked anti-Sharia legislation in 50 states, though the legislation was only passed in seven of the states.

Many terrorism experts are worried about the spread of anti-Muslim sentiments as a recruitment tool, he said.

Bail created a chart comparing two variables, prevalence of anti-Muslim searches and prevalence of pro-Islamic State searches, across the U.S. Though the variables aren’t directly related, there is a correlation, he said.

He said counties where there were a high number of anti-Muslim Google searches also had a high number of pro-Islamic State searches, which were particularly acute where Muslims were isolated.

The teen fled again.

The deputies and officers eventually found the teen lying unresponsive in a weedy area. He was “dragged out and handcuffed,” according to the release. He wore body armor and had ammunition in his pockets. He admitted to having a gun but leaving it in the woods during the chase. Because he may have been under the influence of drugs, he was taken to Bloomington Hospital to have his blood drawn.

He told authorities that during the chase, he aimed the gun at the chest of the deputy who found him in the woods and pulled the trigger, but the gun did not go off. He suggested the gun’s magazine may have fallen out. He was released from the hospital and taken to a juvenile detention facility. Jeffrey Kehr, the first deputy prosecutor for the 10th judicial circuit, said as of Tuesday afternoon, the prosecutor’s office was waiting on a probable cause affidavit to be filed and would then decide whether to try the 17-year-old as an adult.

When Sherry MitchellBruker organized the first meeting of new environmentalist group Friends of Lake Monroe last November, only a few people came. Now the group’s membership has expanded to about 40 people.

Mitchell-Bruker, a hydrologist by training with a doctoral degree from IU’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs, had become concerned with the quality of the lake during a kayaking trip. She also noticed that piles of trash followed the shoreline.

“I was really shocked to find out there was no watershed group to act as an advocate for the lake,” Mitchell-Bruker said. “There are multiple agencies that have responsibilities for water quality, or for the shoreline, but there was no one entity that said, ‘This lake is what’s most important.’”

Friends of Lake Monroe was established to serve as a watershed group with the intention of protecting the lake for current and future generations. Lake Monroe is Bloomington’s only source of water, so Mitchell-Bruker said it is vital to ensure this water remains safe.

Bloomington tests the

quality of the lake water monthly to make sure it matches standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. The tests look for disinfectant byproducts that occur as a result of having to chemically treat the lake’s water.

“Over the years we have seen problems with disinfection byproducts and what happens when you combine things like chlorine with lake water,” Mitchell-Bruker said.

“If you have lake water that has a lot of sediments and natural algae and those type of things, those toxic byproducts are more likely to form.”

Mitchell-Bruker also mentioned an increase in the amount of toxic algal blooms in the lake. If swimmers come into contact with the bluegreen algae, they may experience skin rashes or an allergic reaction. The blooms can also harm fish and other lake organisms.

“We’re looking to be proactive first,” Mitchell-Bruker said. “We don’t need a crisis.”

Currently, there are no known health risks from drinking the lake’s water.

Mitchell-Bruker said the increasing level of toxic byproducts could raise flags for EPA standards, but that had happened in the past and the city responded accordingly. Her

biggest concern is expanding the group so more people in Bloomington are aware of the issue.

“One thing that we would really like is to get more students involved,” Mitchell-Bruker said.

“They bring a lot of ideas and energy to the group.”

Dave Simcox, one of several retirees in the group, said what gets him the most excited about Friends of Lake Monroe is its activism role.

“The message is whether you’re a student or a scientist or an activist or a landowner, there is a spot for you to work in an effort like this,” Simcox said. “There’s only one water source. If we don’t pay attention, no one will.”

Simcox said being part of the group means an

understanding that the work will be long and involved but meaningful, too.

“The final thing is that we have to protect the water quality,” Simcox said. “We’re all in this — maybe a couple generations down the road it could be a very expensive fix if it’s not done right.”

Mitchell-Bruker said she hopes to see more leadership positions created and filled within the group, improved fundraising and the continuance of sponsoring trips to conferences and leadership training for those involved.

“By this time next year, hopefully we will have hired a grant writer and will hopefully be submitting grant proposals to the state,” Mitchell-Bruker said.

Three suspects are sought by police after they allegedly beat a man outside an apartment complex in north Bloomington.

Police responded at about 12:53 a.m. Monday to the Arch Bloomington apartments at 703 W. Gourley Pike after a call of a fight in progress, Bloomington Police Department Lt. John Kovach said.

Witnesses told officers a man had been assaulted by several other men, one of whom had a gun.

Police found the victim on the ground with his face injured and bleeding.

He was taken to the hospital for treatment and later released.

When they returned to their truck, three men ran up to them and began beating the man. The woman was able to get into the cab of the truck.

While she was in the truck, one of the men pointed a handgun at her, she told police.

Witnesses described the suspects as two black men, one with short hair and one with dreadlocks, and one white man with a gun.

The woman told police she didn’t know any of the men. The beating victim told police his wallet had been stolen and he believed the attack may have been related to something that happened to a friend. He couldn’t expand on the statement due to his injuries, Kovach said.

MADDY’S MIND

EDITORIAL BOARD

Represent diverse authors honestly Maddy Klein is a sophomore in English and comparative literature.

If the editors of a literary magazine hoping to emphasize their efforts to publish diverse writers were to describe third-year master of fine arts candidate in poetry Yael Massen, they’d be sure to specify that she is a Persian-Israeli American woman, and they’d probably also mention that she’s Jewish.

Critical reception of her work would likely focus on the same details because contemporary audiences are deeply concerned with artists’ identifications with social categories and the ways that experiences related to those identifications inform their art.

While it is certainly important to acknowledge and respect these experiences, it is equally important not to allow such information to eclipse the content of an individual artist’s character or the elements of her style.

Minority writers should not feel they have to discuss the challenges of their social experiences in order to get published.

On the distinction between her race and her holistic sense of self, Massen said, “I’m trying to write what I don’t see in representation, so I try to incorporate my identity into my work, but I also don’t want to feel that I’m fixated on it because there are other aspects of my identity that are just as important.”

In conversations with other writers in similar social positions, Massen has found a consensus about the most likely avenue to publication: write about your struggles. When publishing minority writers, the track record of literary magazines and the publishing world more broadly shows a preference for work that deals with the otherness and social burdens of the authors.

It’s enough to make her wonder about her previous success and future direction.

“If I’m writing about my identity and how it’s different, would I be tokenized and get my work picked up?” she said.

The balance between creating work that offers better representation of groups with which she identifies while still allowing herself the creative freedom to write in a way that doesn’t limit her to discussing struggle is a hard one to strike. And the pressure that editors and the reading public put on minority writers to strike that balance places unnecessary limits on artistic expression.

If you read Massen’s poetry, you might be tempted to frame her work as the product of a Jewish woman or a woman of color. And while those aspects of her life do appear in her writing, you shouldn’t only expect her to discuss those subjects because it stifles her potential as a poet and detracts from the fullness of her existence as an individual.

When asked about what she felt publishers should do to address these harmful limitations, Massen stressed a priority for authenticity.

“If you’re looking to publish diverse writers, you also need to publish their diverse experiences and modes of writing,” Massen said. “It can’t just be what you think fits that one way of representing.”

We expect minority authors to address the specifics of their social experience rather than the universals of the human experience, but they should feel free to discuss either without fear that they won’t be published.

If we want to call ourselves a society that values diversity, we need to be more open-minded about what that diversity looks like. mareklei@umail.iu.edu

Indiana shoots down cigarette tax The state legislature should have raised existing taxation on cigarette purchases Indiana lawmakers recently struck down a bill raising the cigarette tax from $0.99 per pack to $1.50 per pack.

The tax hasn’t been raised since 2007, but the Editorial Board believes raising the tax is a good idea.

Not only is the higher tax discouraging future and low commitment smokers, but for those who are willing to pay the extra tax, it will fill a hole in the state’s budget.

In Indiana, a pack of cigarettes is usually $5.97.

Comparatively, Illinois packs go for $11.50, Iowa sells them for $6.29 and

Missouri sells them for the cheapest at $5.25. Raise It For Health is an organization in Indiana that aims to make the state tobacco-free by raising the tax $1.50 like the Senate wants to. The organization’s site claims that if the tax were to increase as such, the state would rake in an additional $300 million annually.

One fifth of the state’s population smokes, and because of this, smoking costs Indiana $2.9 billion in health care services, according to Raise It For Health.

The organization quotes the United States surgeon

general in hopes that, by decreasing the amount of people who smoke, overall drug use in Indiana will decrease.

Along with raising the price of cigarettes, people want to raise the smoking age to 21. Since 2015, many big cities like New York City, Cleveland and San Francisco have raised the smoking age to lessen availability of cigarettes to minors.

Tobacco21 is an organizational site that promotes the nationwide raising of the age. They back up their pushing by saying that 18 is too young to be exposing young adults to chemically

altering substances. To put it in perspective, states that have legalized recreational use of marijuana set the age at 21.

This is an intriguing idea to think about. Many people would rather not have to wait until they turn 21 to smoke because it doesn’t seem as dangerous to them as alcohol. However, it seems to us that if you have to wait until you turn 21 to smoke marijuana, a less dangerous substance than tobacco, then maybe we should have to wait the same time to smoke cigarettes.

We think it would be in Indiana’s best interest to at least raise the tax on cigarettes.

The pros outweigh the cons. The state will earn more money from the lifetime smokers and those who are stubborn about quitting, while those who quit or abstain because of the tax will live healthier lives.

We are not shaming those who smoke or would choose to continue to smoke if the tax was ever raised. However, the chance of helping those who need a push to quit is too great to pass up.

COZY UP WITH KATIE

Trump’s proposed travel regulations will prove ineffective The Trump administration has toed many ethical lines in its short time in office.

From the abrupt and careless travel ban to the most recent airstrike in Syria, many decisions made by this administration seem questionable.

To no surprise President Trump may again be keeping his campaign promise of “extreme vetting” if some Trump administration officials have their way. An idea that has been proposed would lead to new rules and regulations for travelers arriving in the United States from other countries.

The new rules would require some visitors to be

subject to various invasive measures, including the search and seizure of personal devices like cell phones.

Once the phone has been confiscated it would be mandatory to release any and all social media passwords and any other passwords on the phone that might be used to withhold information .

While to a degree this may have already been happening for quite some time now, turning this unceremonious practice into formal regulations would be a huge step back in human rights.

The proposal to be able to confiscate someone’s cell phone and search through

private messages violates a person’s right to privacy. Cell phone information is private and being forced to share every detail of information in your phone is insulting and demeaning.

Aside from the blatant invasion of privacy, this could also be an expensive idea to implement. Since most airports don’t have extra security just waiting around customs, extra security will need to be hired. While I’m sure the Trump administration will find a clever way to spin it as creating more jobs, I see it as American tax money being thrown away.

Even if this weren’t an

invasion of privacy and a complete waste of tax dollars, I don’t think that this idea wouldn’t even solve the problem that it wants to fix.

Assuming someone with malicious intent were entering the United States and did happen to have incriminating evidence on their cell phone and also happened to be considered suspicious enough to have their cell phone confiscated in customs, very few terrorists would be stupid enough to leave their grand scheme on Facebook Messenger.

Being required to hand over social media passwords is a pointless measure and

Katie Meier is a senior in English.

probably won’t give security officials what they are looking for.

If they did have plans of violence or terrorism on their phones, it would be easy enough to pitch the phone in a nearby trashcan, erase the messages or even invest in a $10 burner phone.

The idea of this regulation being made official just adds to the unreasonable and controversial practices of the Trump administration and should not become a law. kkmeier@umail.iu.edu

REYNOLDS WRAP UP

United States citizens should care more about their privacy President Trump signed a repeal April 3 to reverse broadband privacy protection laws. The week before this repeal was signed, it was narrowly passed by Republicans in Congress and received no Democrat support. You would think within a calendar year after a massive leak describing undercover surveillance techniques, the American people would not stand for any action like this from the federal government.

Americans have been letting their rights to privacy slip away from them for far too long. It is only getting worse, and it is not going to stop until the average citizen

takes a stand.

In May of 2016, WikiLeaks published one of the largest leaks of Central Intelligence Agency documents in history. These documents detailed advanced software technology used to break into a variety of consumer products and transformed the average cell phone or smart television into a spying device.

Very serious and troublesome allegations were made in this report. For example, if to be believed, these WikiLeaks documents states the CIA has access to both Apple and Android devices and can even access data from encrypted messaging

and communication apps.

These apps are used specifically to combat this type of spying, surveillance and insecurity.

While it is not clear from the reports whether these tools have been used on people, these processes still exist, so if it has not happened yet, it could be happening any day. I for one would not be surprised to learn that the CIA has been spying on American people, but if not, the agency has still been purposefully leaving these vulnerabilities into these devices.

When these reports first entered the news cycle, you could not go a day without

hearing a remark or two about the infamous CIA data dump, but these conversations have ended.

Americans can no longer allow for things as crucial as our right for privacy to fall out of focus the instant the media stops covering it.

If the average United States citizen does not stand against this abhorrent stripping of our privacy and internet security, no one else will.

I am in no way saying that the Republican party is 100 percent responsible for this degradation of American privacy. In many ways it is quite the opposite. Former president Barack Obama

repeatedly extended the power and scope of the NSA well into his presidential tenure. He even expanded its reach in the last few days of his presidency.

With this said, I do respect that no Democrats supported this repeal. I hope in the coming years the American people realize how big of an issue this is. We need to band together, whether we’re Democratic, Republican, Libertarian or Green party members, and fight for our right to privacy. sareynol@umail.iu.edu

step too far for her.

“There can be diversity within the notion of equality,” she said.

On Monday afternoon, senior Stella Shaffer burned her ticket to Charles Murray’s event in a Facebook Live video. As she stood in Tuesday’s protest, she was detained by police for a reason she said she did not know.

It took a crowd of protesters, whose bodies were crushed together and whose noses were inches from police, screaming, “Free Stella” before the police finally let her go.

Yesterday Shaffer said she was unsure if she would attend the protest for academic reasons.

“I was scared they would send me to men’s jail,” Shaffer said.

By the time he left, protesters were spread out around the building.

He did say that he believed the protesters would have benefited more from listening to what Murray was saying instead of protesting outside.

“If there’s a liberal protesting, it’s not in their best interest to protest,” Walker said.

“They could come in here and listen to what he has to say and maybe rebut it.”

Hunt Harvey, a senior studying political science, attended Murray’s speech as well. He said he believed that Murray gave a good speech and agreed with the

majority of the points that Murray made. The only exception was one Murray made during his speech about the law not doing anything to help civil rights movements.

Harvey said he had expected the protest and believed IU did a good job with the event security.

After the event, Robert said he expected the room to be jam-packed with students and was surprised that more were protesting instead of listening to Murray’s talk.

“Talk is cheap, but it’s a start,” Dickstein said. “And he doesn’t even seem to be doing that.”

While Osheroff said Trump has started to speak about recent violence against Jews, he has made no attempts to discuss solutions or speak about the larger issue of anti-Semitism in the United States. She said as long as the president fails to speak openly about anti-Semitism, Americans will continue to deny that it even exists today.

“I just feel like we get left

out of these kind of conversations,” she said. “It’s like this problem is invisible to some people.”

Moving forward, Silberberg said Trump should take a firm stance against anti-Semitism and prejudice of any kind against minorities.

“He needs to stand up against the people who have been emboldened to act with hatred because of the things he’s said against minorities,” Silberberg said.

Silberberg said the government as a whole also plays a vital role in curbing hatred.

Murray is known for his book "The Bell Curve," and his recent appearances at University of Notre Dame, Middlebury College and other schools have led to protests and in some instances have led to physical violence.

She said even state governments should join the fight against hatred by passing stricter hate crime laws.

Indiana is one of five states without hate crime laws. Silberberg said laws against these crimes are the first step toward fighting prejudice.

“We want a country where all fifty states and everyone in them will stand up against hate,” she said.

Despite growing anti-Semitism, Silberberg said she sees the average American as good and hopes they will be able to unite against rising tides of

hatred, but unity starts with standing up for one another and engaging in respectful conversation, she said.

Dickstein said people in general should be more outspoken about anti-Semitism so that it can be pushed into the forefront of politicians’ minds. He also recommends calling or sending letters to senators and representatives.

“Anything that gets people talking about it and seeing that it is a problem,” Dickstein said.

However, Osheroff said it is difficult to change the

minds of people already full of hate, but encouraging people to interact with Jews and come into the Hillel Center can make a difference.

For those who are concerned for the Jewish people in the community, Silberberg said there is a lot they can do as well.

“If someone makes an anti-Semitic comment, speak up,” she said. “Tell them you’re uncomfortable. Don’t be combative. That’ll just build walls and make them more hateful. Be firm but respectful.”

Hoosiers split series against Boilermakers

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

For the third consecutive season, IU was left with an empty feeling after its series with Purdue.

The Hoosiers and Boilermakers split their third consecutive two-game series Tuesday night. Although this time, the series sweep was in IU’s hands.

After defeating Purdue 4-0 in the opening game of the doubleheader, IU had a 1-0 lead in the seventh inning of the day’s second game.

With a runner at second and one out, Purdue junior outfielder Kaylah Hampton was struck out by IU sophomore pitcher Emily Kirk. Hampton still reached first base, though, after junior catcher Shayna Gamm dropped the third strike and badly missed junior infielder Taylor Uden on a throw to first base.

This started a rally for Purdue that culminated in a two-run single by senior pitcher Katie Johnson.

“We made a bad play to put them in a situation to take a lead,” IU Coach Michelle Gardner said.

The late comeback from Purdue, 16-27 overall and 5-6 in the Big Ten, erased what had been a masterful pitching performance

by Kirk. Kirk walked no batters, allowed only four hits and took a shutout into the seventh.

An error and three hits later, Purdue had scored twice, and Kirk was on the hook for the eventual loss.

In the first game,

sophomore pitcher Tara Trainer maintained a shutout through all seven innings of her complete-game win.

Trainer improved her record to 10-11 with a six-strikeout performance.

“I’m very happy with both of them,” Gardner said. “Both did a good job.

I hope it gives them a lot of confidence because they really, really did a good job and deserved to win.”

The run support given to

Trainer largely came courtesy of freshman utility player Katie Lacefield.

Hitting sixth in the batting order instead of in her usual ninth spot, Lacefield picked up a career-best three RBI in the win via a bases-loaded walk, a single and a double.

“I was seeing the ball pretty well off the pitcher,” Lacefield said. “I was trying to look early in the count.”

Lacefield’s batting average rose to .304 thanks to her

performance, which puts her fourth among IU players.

“She’s gotten a little bit better every weekend,” Gardner said. “I really felt like she saw the ball well and was doing some good things.”

Very few Hoosiers did well at the plate come Tuesday’s second game. Aside from a four-hit showing by freshman utility player Gabbi Jenkins, only two other Hoosiers recorded a hit.

Even more damning were

the seven runners IU left on base in the defeat.

“Everything is timely in this game,” Gardner said. “It shouldn’t have been a onerun ballgame. Period.”

The lack of offense by IU meant Kirk remains winless for the season. It’s the second time this month Kirk has thrown a complete game and allowed three or fewer runs for IU, only to receive the loss.

“Sometimes it’s just

tough,” Lacefield said. “We’re hitting balls well, just right at them. We’re not always going to have timely hitting, but we need to make those adjustments and look to score earlier.”

IU, 18-22 overall and 4-7 in the Big Ten, has swept six of its 15 doubleheaders this season and must recover from the sting of Tuesday’s late stumble in time for a weekend trip to No. 25 Ohio State.

Seniors honored after final match

By Dylan Wallace dswallac@iu.edu | @Dwall_1

IU women’s tennis played its last home match this past Sunday in Bloomington, and it was the team’s senior day.

After the first three singles matches wrapped up against Northwestern, the remaining three matches included IU seniors Kim Schmider and Paula Gutierrez and graduate student Alicia Robinson.

After the match concluded, the team headed to the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall Spirit of ‘76 Club, a premier suite on the south end of the stadium, for senior day festivities.

IU Coach Ramiro Azcui and assistant Ryan Miller took to the podium, thanked their coaching staff and honored several of the team’s underclassmen before moving on to show appreciation for his veterans.

“It’s a day that I love because we get to honor the seniors for everything they’ve done, but it’s also a day I hate because it means the end is near,” Azcui said in his speech.

Gutierrez was the first senior to give remarks and teared up just one sentence into her speech. She talked about the difficulties of com-

“I remember Coach and Ramiro tell me that the team will be like my family and that everything is going to be OK,” Gutierrez said. “At the beginning I did not believe that, but at the end I couldn’t imagine that a team of nine girls could be so important in my life.”

Azcui said Gutierrez has made him a better person and that he will miss her

energy in matches.

Schmider followed Gutierrez’s speech and expressed similar appreciation for the coaches, staff and athletic department for all the opportunities they have given her.

“People always say that you should treasure every moment in college because it flies by,” Schmider said. “As a freshman you don’t really believe that but these fours years have really flown by and I can’t believe my time at IU is about to come to an end. It’s been some of the best years of my

life.”

Azcui said it has been special to see Schmider mature as a person and player.

The banquet was full of laughs and tears, but the moments when Schmider and Gutierrez teared up most, however, were when they talked about each other.

Schmider referred to Gutierrez as her teammate, her European, her person since day one and most importantly her best friend.

WOMEN’S GOLF

Freshman breaks into Hoosier lineup

By Ryan Lucas lucasry@indiana.edu | @RyanLucasIU

After a rocky start in her first season at IU, freshman Emma Fisher has played her way into the women’s golf lineup recently by improving the mental aspects of her game.

Fisher, an alumna of Bloomington High School South, played her first tournament in the Hoosier lineup last weekend at the IU Invitational on the IU Golf Course.

In front of family and friends, Fisher set personal bests with a three-round score of 225(+9) and an eighth-place finish.

Fisher said it was great to be able to play in front of family, which included some she hadn’t seen in a while and some who hadn’t seen her play recently.

“It was really good to have the support I have had in previous years in high school matches, just out here supporting me in my college career,” Fisher said.

“I know they’re always going to be there, but it’s great to have that physicality there. Their support means everything to me.”

Fisher has also benefitted from playing for IU Coach Clint Wallman, who has coached and given her lessons since she was 10 years old. Fisher said she first worked with Wallman at an IU golf summer camp and later began to take lessons with him a few times a month.

Fisher said Wallman has become a father figure for her and she couldn’t imagine playing for anyone else.

“I think he knows me a little better than the rest of

the girls and he knows the way I’m wired so it’s good for that coaching aspect,” Fisher said. “But also he’s a really good guy and I’m really lucky to have him as a coach.”

Wallman said it is a rare opportunity to be able to work with a student-athlete for so long and also said watching Fisher develop physically, emotionally and mentally has been a gratifying experience as a coach and as a person.

After being a top player for much of her high school career, Fisher said it was weird for her to come into the IU program and be the underdog. Wallman said Fisher had distinct talent and that the one thing she lacked coming into IU was experience competing at the college level.

“I think being exposed to

that has really opened her eyes,” Wallman said. “She sees how attainable being an elite-level player is and that she doesn’t need to do too much outside of just hone her game and make it the best version of her game every time out.”

Since going through an adjustment period in the fall, Fisher has played in three tournaments this spring. In the first two, she competed as an individual and improved her play each time out to earn a spot in the lineup for the IU Invitational.

Fisher said her improvements have come more in the mental part of her game than on the physical end.

She said she hit the ball well at the IU Invitational, but her main focus was SEE GOLF, PAGE 6

Russell Westbrook is the NBA’s Most Valuable Player A heavy steel ball that annihilates buildings of all shapes and sizes, the wrecking ball was invented in the mid-20th century. Jeff Byles, who wrote “Rubble: Unearthing the History of Demolition,” said the following about the mechanism. “Laborious, yes. Wasteful, no. It was an elegant way to wreck.”

Russell Westbrook, the human wrecking ball, should be the 2017 NBA MVP. There’s no sugarcoating or beating around the bush.

I do not have a vote, but if I did, the top name would be Westbrook’s, the point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Westbrook isn’t the best player — hey, LeBron — nor is he the most consistent or best all-around player like James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, respectively, but there is no doubt that the 2016-17 season is Westbrook’s and his alone.

The statistics show 42 triple-doubles and more than 30 points per game.

These are absurd numbers and bewildering on first glance.

But, as Westbrook would surely tell you by screaming into your face and slapping the water you’re holding just for effect, the numbers are just the tip of the iceberg.

Greg Gottfried is a senior in journalism.

The way that I view the MVP is as a synopsis of the year. Whose year was it?

Who held the championship belt?

From Kevin Durant’s departure to the Golden State Warriors on July 4 of last year up until today, Westbrook has been the main act of the yearly NBA circus. Westbrook will average a triple-double this season.

Game in and game out, he has been the player who accrued the highlights and the victories for Oklahoma City.

With Westbrook, the Thunder are a playoff team.

Without him, they’re a lottery team and potentially a squad fighting for the rights of likely top picks Markelle Fultz or Lonzo Ball.

Like all geniuses, Westbrook has moments of brilliance and subsequent lapses. When his shot is off or if he’s playing too fast — an actual complaint, believe it or not — he has the ability to single-handedly lose games for Oklahoma City, but even his worst moments are spectacular to watch.

Looking back at past seasons, there’s always a player that stands out. The Bulls’ Michael Jordan fit the SEE WESTBROOK, PAGE 6

IU wins in pitcher’s duel at Indiana State hits and two walks, struck out one batter and escaped a bases-loaded-no-outs jam unscathed.

To open the top of the fifth inning, sophomore third baseman Luke Miller singled to right field then advanced to second on a groundout from senior center fielder Craig Dedelow.

Junior right fielder Logan Sowers then stepped up and delivered with a double to left center to score Miller and put IU on the board. The next batter, freshman catcher Jake Matheny, hit a single that advanced Sowers to third and gave the Hoosiers runners on the corners with just one out.

Redleg Husky will share stage with Cari Ray

“Pippin” will round out the IU Auditorium’s spring lineup with shows this Wednesday and Thursday. The cast of fanciful characters includes the title character of Pippin, played in this production by Naysh Fox.

‘Pippin’ takes stage tonight

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

The IU Auditorium will welcome “Pippin” to round out the spring production season.

The show will debut 8 p.m. Wednesday, and there will be a second performance at the same time Thursday at the auditorium.

Naysh Fox leads the cast as the title character Pippin, a young prince who is on a search for the meaning of life. Fox said he has been most excited to portray Pippin on stage. He comes to this role with experience playing characters such as Riff in the production “West Side Story,” Warner in “Legally Blonde” and the Prince in “Once Upon a Time.”

“It’s a great privilege but also a great responsibility,” Fox said. “It’s really a wonderful experience to tell this every man story and

hopefully have everybody relate to your character and share the journey with you.”

Sharing the stage with a cast of talented actors and performers has been a great experience, Fox said.

“It’s really been such a dream come true,” Fox said.

“We have such a wonderful, talented cast and being able to share the stage has been an honor.”

The show has made one run through Indiana already, and showing in a college town offers a slightly different experience from showing to a crowd of older theater-goers, Fox said.

Traveling with this show has offered the opportunity to see how a variety of audiences can connect or engage with the familiar tale, Fox said.

“It’s been quite the experience because our show is abstract, and to see how different audiences see it and

relate to it is wonderful,” Fox said. “We get to experience in those short two and a half hours what culture is like in those spots.”

While elderly audiences may be more conservative and focused on watching and listening to the story as a whole, younger audiences can engage with the material on a personal level, because the character of Pippin is also fresh out of college and looking toward the future.

“That’s what every college kid is going through, and now they’re trying to decide how they want to continue on with their life and find fulfillment and happiness,” Fox said.

The most relatable part of the character of Pippin part of his character looking to go on a journey of selfdiscovery, Fox said.

“Honestly I can relate to the character of Pippin in

PIPPIN Tickets starting at $22 8 p.m. today, IU Auditorium almost every aspect because he’s a young man trying to find fulfillment in a crazy world,” Fox said. “The only difference is that I don’t have a Leading Player guiding me through life — who doesn’t want to find ultimate happiness or fulfillment or find passion for what they’re doing?”

Audiences who want to see a circus — complete with full acrobatics — onstage should see “Pippin,” Fox said.

“It’s truly amazing what the acrobats can do with their bodies,” Fox said. “The story is so relevant and people can relate to it really well no matter what age you are. I might be biased, but I think our cast is so tremendous.”

Redleg Husky, an Asheville, North Carolina-based bluegrass and country duo, will soon pay a visit to the Midwest.

The band — made up of Tim McWilliams on guitar, banjo and vocals and Son the Bassman on bass and vocals — will entertain audiences alongside local bluegrass, blues and southern gospel artist Cari Ray starting at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Player’s Pub. McWilliams said he and Son look forward to hearing Ray play, as they have so far been impressed with what they’ve heard online. Playing in the Midwest is a homecoming for McWilliams, as he grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, around that musical environment.

“I like the Midwest a lot,” McWilliams said. “There’s a really good music scene and it has been one historically that people forget about. Especially in Cincinnati, people do not know how many musicians used to record there — huge names in countrybluegrass. It’s cool to come share this roots music we’re doing in the Midwest and reach a different audience.”

This will be the outfit’s first time in Bloomington.

Touring throughout the southeast so far has been a fun experience, McWilliams said.

McWilliams and Son play shows five nights a week in locations that range from sports bars to breweries to major musical venues and more, he said.

In the last year, McWilliams estimated Redleg Husky played 222 shows.

REDLEG HUSKY Tickets $5 6 p.m. today, Player’s Pub This year the total number of shows they will play should be almost 260.

“It’s great, that brings us to a diverse group of people and it seems like most folks can find common footing in what we do,” McWilliams said.

McWilliams said the band has existed for years, though membership has rotated as musicians have come and gone.

“It is a unique experience and most people can’t believe that all the sound is being generated from two people,” McWilliams said.

Son met McWilliams after the latter musician finished studying Appalachian music and went on a three-month tour playing with a different musical partner.

McWilliams said he and Son kept in touch after ending up on the same ticket in Denver, Colorado, and soon joined forces for Redleg Husky. Music became McWilliams’ full-time career in 2012, and though time consuming, he said turning his graduate school hobby into his job was a positive choice.

The feeling of performing and having an audience connect with the music is what McWilliams said he most enjoys.

“When you really feel like you win a crowd over and they’re really paying attention it seems like what you put so much effort into is bringing joy to people,” McWilliams said. “When people cut loose and boogie with us there’s nothing else like it, really. It’s amazing.”
