They owned the night with sequins, glitter and makeup as bright, bold and colorful as the rainbow lights flashing from the rafters of Indiana Memorial Union’s Alumni Hall. Drag queens from Bloomington and as far as Puerto Rico strutted down the runway and across the stage in Thursday’s Pride Extravaganza Drag Show. “A number of groups come to us and ask for support,” said Doug Bauder, office coordinator of IU’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services. “We did not initiate this. This was — some of the community drag queens, I think, brought this together. They wanted to do something as a welcome event for incoming students, and they wanted to be out of the bar scene for younger students, wanted to do it on campus.” GLBTSSS was a sponsor of the event and one of the many service desks set up around the room, along with Spectrum, the Residence Halls Association and Positive Link HIV Services, which offered free HIV testing. “They did it in a residential hall last year, and it was so successful they thought they’d move it here,” Bauder said. “So it’s a welcome-back event for queer students and queer-friendly students — allies, of course. We thought it was a good idea when we heard about it last year and gave some money and did it again this year.” The doors opened for those with VIP tickets at 5:55 p.m. for a special meet and greet. At 6:15 p.m., the doors opened to the general public to peruse the various resource tables. Around 7:30 p.m., the red curtains closed and the lights dimmed, hushing the audience. Bloomington’s own Argenta Perón worked her way down the aisle in a skirt made of CDs that was quickly discarded by two male backup dancers as she launched into
A shrinking number of teachers across the state has left empty spots in some schools, especially in math, science and language positions. The number of teaching licenses issued in Indiana for the 2013-14 school year was down to 6,174, according to the Indiana Department of Education. Marc Lotter, the Indiana State Board of Education’s director of external relations, said the overall shortage is the result of a number of issues. Higher teacher expectations, lower pay, fewer college students studying education, the 2008 recession, retiring baby boomers, education reform and even a lower social status of teachers have all been cited as possible reasons for the shortage. “There’s not just one single cause,” Lotter said. Michael Hicks, an economics professor at Ball State University, said he thinks the shortage is simply a reflection of Indiana’s shrinking student enrollment. He said only one third of the state’s school corporations are growing, while the rest are either shrinking or stagnant. With fewer students, fewer teachers are needed. Hicks said the state’s teaching colleges are the ones with the biggest concerns because their enrollment numbers have suffered. “There are certainly schools having difficulty hiring,” he said, “but teachers’ colleges are facing a crisis because the monopoly they’ve held on teacher enrollment for 30 years has been fractured.” A budget plan signed by Gov. Mike Pence last May shifted the way money would be distributed to schools across the state. Under the plan, shrinking schools in urban and rural districts would receive fewer funds, while growing suburban schools would receive more. Hicks said this sort of legislation could potentially deter teachers from applying for jobs at schools that may end up laying them off within a few years. The average number of teacher retirements has doubled within recent years, according to the Indiana Public Retirement System. Accountability for student performance has increased, while pay has not. A beginning teacher salary is $33,574 in Indiana, according to the National Education Association, which reported that from 2002 to 2012 the average salaries for

IU Wells Scholars honored for achievements By Bailey Moser bpmoser@indiana.edu @theedailybailey
The 2015-16 Herman B Wells Scholars include 17 entering freshmen and one current IU student. These scholars were selected for having demonstrated exceptional qualities of character, leadership and distinction both inside and outside the classroom, according to an IU press release. The latest addition of the 18 Herman B Wells Scholars will join more than 540 students before them as fellow Herman B Wells Scholars. The first class of Herman B Wells Scholars was enrolled in 1990, following Wells’ 90th birthday, according to the release. In order to apply, interested students needed to write an essay, provide a teacher recommendation and be nominated by their high school. Out-of-state students had to self-nominate themselves through the IU Office of Admission for the scholarship., according to the release. This year’s class of Herman B Wells Scholars includes several students who are the first from their high schools to receive this prestigious award, according to the release. Though more than 600 students applied for the prestigious scholarship, only 55 of those applicants were selected for an intense interview process on the IUBloomington campus during the summer, according to the release. The interview process
was a two-day affair, during which the candidates stayed in Biddle Hotel and were “pretty much interviewed the whole time,” 2015-16 Herman B Wells Scholar Jonah Andretta said. It took one week after the interview weekend for candidates to hear back from Christoph Irmscher, the provost professor of English and the George F. Getz Jr. Professor in the Wells Scholars Program. Irmscher called all 55 candidates on the same day and informed them of the decision. “I was literally shocked,” 2015-16 Herman B Wells Scholar Kate Adams said. “Interview weekend was so nerve–racking because everyone there had the test scores, everyone there had the GPA, everyone there had the resume to impress this program ... it was intense.” The nerves and stress proved worthwhile, however, because incoming freshman Herman B Wells Scholars receive full tuition and course-related fees, according to the release. The students also receive a living stipend, for four years of undergraduate study on the IU-Bloomington campus. Scholars may choose to spend up to one of those years studying abroad, according to the release. “You already know that these guys are highly accomplished,” Irmscher said. “One thing that perhaps stands out about them is the diversity of backgrounds — from African-American and Latino to British, TurkishAmerican and so forth.”

The Wells Scholars Class of 2015 meets in the Harlos House on Thursday afternoon and discusses their experiences with the application process and how they felt when they were awarded the scholarship. These 18 students join more than 540 others who have been awarded a Herman B Wells Scholar title since 1990.
While the Herman B Wells Scholars may represent diverse backgrounds, they said they also believe they are diverse in their multiple areas of studies. The Herman B Wells Scholars explained in a group interview that they make up an array of versatility, with future lawyers, future doctors and even dance majors all participating and engaging in intelligent conversation. “We come from obviously different families and different areas of the coun-
try,” Andretta said. “Of the seventeen of us, three of us are music (majors), but those three music (majors) are education, performance and composition, and all three of us are doing something with math. It makes us all much more well-rounded because we have a higher exposure to different ideas.” The Herman B Wells Scholars meet for a seminar every Tuesday and Thursday in the Harlos House, where they will discuss the environment throughout the fall and utopian societ-
ies during the spring. The Herman B Wells program also offers support for a summer research or service project, creative activity or internship and a wide range of extracurricular events and activities, according to the release. The selected students added that they are excited to get to know each other throughout their four years and become true Herman B Wells Scholars together. “While it’s definitely an honor to be part of such an intelligent group and a well-
rounded group, it’s also a huge honor, at least for me and I’m assuming everyone else, to carry Herman B Wells’ name,” 2015-16 Wells Scholar Reyan Coskun said. “We have so many experiences where we come to this house and we learn from people who knew him,” Coskun added. “We learn about his legacy and what he did for this campus. It’s truly amazing. They are literally handing us a role model that we can have throughout our college experience and strive to become.”
New vice provost of research Geoffrey Fox to chair new to tackle Grand Challenges IU engineering program By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu
Rick Van Kooten, formerly the interim vice provost for research, has permanently assumed his position as vice provost for research. Van Kooten assumed permanent responsibility for the post in the department, the goal of which is providing resources for research on the IU-Bloomington campus, in July. Van Kooten has many goals to achieve during his time as the permanent vice provost for research, including the Grand Challenges initiative and the Emerging Areas of Research program, both research-funding programs. “We’re interested in getting as many Bloomington faculty members involved in (Grand Challenges) as possible and encouraging these collaborations,” Van Kooten said. “What’s unique about Bloomington is the Emerging Areas of Research, which are not as big as a Grand Challenge — not as big in scope, but not as multi-disciplinary — but there’s a lot of research on campus that you can’t force to be multi-disciplinary, and so we don’t want to disenfranchise a big fraction of the faculty.” Along with the Grand Challenges and the Emerging Areas of Research, Van
Kooten has other plans for his time as vice provost for research. “We get grants from federal and state agencies, so what would be useful would be to get more funds from nontraditional funding sources, so just helping faculty get to those sources,” Van Kooten said. Van Kooten said he is excited about the new programs recently approved at IU and what they will bring to the University. “I’m also very excited about engineering, this whole thing that engineering was approved,” Van Kooten said. “That’s going to be a new academic program, but all those faculty will be doing research. That’s a different area of research we haven’t been involved in before, and this will foster more applied research.” Van Kooten was not one of the original candidates for this position. In October, the search committee, led by informatics professor Beth Plale, selected two candidates, not including Kooten, to present to the president. However, because of other job opportunities, neither of the final two candidates worked out. From there, Van Kooten was appointed interim vice provost of research. Although he was not on the original list, Plale said she has heard positive things about Van Kooten
so far. “I hear very positive feedback on his carrying out the posi- Rick tion, very Van Kooten positive feedback,” Plale said. “He’s holding town halls on Grand Challenges. He’s doing a number of other things. He cares about IU, and that’s a positive thing for something like that.” Vice President for Research Fred Cate said Van Kooten’s interim position played an important role when he was deciding whether or not he wanted to accept his position in the research department. “I mean, I’ve known Rick for some time, and I think very highly of him, so that was a huge incentive for me to take the job, knowing what a really exceptional research head the Bloomington campus would have,” Cate said. “He stands for the best of academic values.” Along with his other goals for the year, Van Kooten said he hoped to improve the quality of research at IU. “(I hope to achieve) having more research being done on campus, improving the quality of research done on campus, of having a culture of people being very engaged in their research,” Van Kooten said.
Themester to address history of labor From IDS reports
This fall, students can take classes, visit with speakers and watch films to get a taste of the legacy, significance and implications of labor from cultural, technological and historical standpoints. Every fall, the College of Arts and Sciences faculty picks a theme for a Themester, which is a collection of courses, speakers, films and events that reflect a common theme, according to the Themester website.
Last fall, the faculty chose a food-themed semester. The Themester, called “Eat, Drink, Think: Food from Art to Science,” featured courses, speakers, films and events that addressed the controversies surrounding food. This fall, however, the College of Arts and Sciences faculty picked a labor-themed semester. The Themester “@ Work: The Nature of Labor on a Changing Planet,” like the food-themed semester, will feature courses, speakers, films and events that address
the legacy, significance and implications of labor from cultural, technological and historical standpoints. “Labor is the distinctly human activity. It’s where we devise tools, organize efforts, create novelty out of nature,” said Benjamin Robinson, co-chair of the Themester 2015 advisory committee and associate professor in Germanic studies, in an IU press release. “Of course, it’s

IU will offer a Bachelor of Science and Ph.D in intelligent systems engineering starting fall 2016. The engineering program will be a part of the School of Informatics and Computing, with professor Geoffrey Fox serving as the initial chair. Fox and Robert Schnabel, dean of the School of Informatics and Computing, both said one reason for the creation of an engineering program at IU was a survey of southern Indiana economic development by the Battelle Corporation. The research showed a lot of engineering work in southern Indiana that IU did not have the ability to prepare its students for in the future. Another reason for adding the program, Fox said, is because engineering is part of or works with other disciplines. “Engineering pervades almost everything,” Fox said. “The people in SPEA are doing environmental engineering ... applied physics is a part of engineering in many universities. This particular field also looks at the engineering aspect of areas of great strength here, in biology,

chemistry, psychology and brain sciences.” Within the undergraduate degree, the department plans for three concentrations: bioengineering, computer/cyber-physical systems engineering and nanoscale systems engineering. The focus of IU’s program will be on intelligent systems, as the name implies, specifically small intelligent devices like smart phones or sensors which connect to the Internet, medical instruments and building computer hardware. Purdue’s undergraduate engineering program focuses on a range of types of engineering, including large-scale disciplines such as nuclear engineering and chemical engineering among others. Purdue also offers concentrations in biological engineering and computer engineering. Before next fall, Fox said IU still needs to hire around 20 to 25 new faculty members, find a physical location to house the de-

partment, “flesh out” the specifics of the degrees and advertise the program to attract students. The estimate for enrollment of undergraduates starting fall 2016 is 50 students. The total number of undergraduate engineering students by fall 2020 is estimated at 455 students. Official projections put the number of Ph.D students at 50 students by fall 2020, though Fox said he thought the number could be closer to 75 students by that time. “I’m very optimistic we’ll be highly successful because (engineering) is at the leading edge of many very important things, and it adds value to existing Bloomington programs,” Fox said. “My guess is we will have more students apply than those numbers project because these areas we’re working in have lots of jobs available. I’m not guaranteeing high enrollment — that’s just my guess because Bloomington is viewed as a nice place. It’s a nice campus, and it has a lot of other nice programs.”

Professor, alumnus team up By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali
IU professor Terry Butler and IU alumnus Danny Chan proved that the student-professor relationship can extend beyond the classroom. Once student and professor, Butler and Chan now serve as business partners for Iconic Private Equity Partners. “I always looked up to Terry from the moment I stepped into his accounting class at IU, and this feeling hasn’t changed since,” Chan said. Iconic Private Equity Partners is an asset management and advisory firm operating across multiple countries, optimizing the advantages of each location. Iconic’s goal as a company is to create positive economic change through actively working with upper management, in each of its portfolio companies to reach their individual goals. The company invests in management buyouts, leveraged buyouts and structured transactions in China, Hong
Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and the United States. Chan serves as the managing director of the company, and Butler serves as a head on the advisory board. The people of the company are the essentials of turning problems into opportunities, Chan said. “This allows us the opportunity to provide some of the best entrepreneurial experiences around while maintaining the advantage of a structured platform,” Chan said. During his time at IU, Chan launched an Internet startup in June 2000. Titled StreetSideInvestor.com, the startup provided online financial information for individual investors when it was active. “There were many times that I almost sold the Internet company but it never happened,” Chan said. “It would be a good financial move at the time, but the experience I have gained over the years from it is priceless.” Because he started the company at such a young
age, Chan was able to optimize his career opportunities immediately. At the age of 20, Chan said he wasn’t interested in his future, but now he can’t imagine students not constantly thinking about it. “At IU people genuinely wanted you to get the most of your life,” Chan said. “You need the practical experience.” Butler, thinking about his partnership with Chan, said it is good for business partners to have complimentary skills and then it is beneficial to build on this balance. “Danny is good with meeting people, making contacts and building on the process of businesses working with us,” Butler said. “I am better at understanding the details of the companies, as he is building on the bigger picture.” Originally based out of Hong Kong, Iconic Private Equity Partners has recently moved a satellite office to Bloomington in hopes to get student interns interested in investment business.

also where we concentrate our power to exploit, to despoil and expropriate.

“I got my opportunity when I was an undergrad, and I now want Danny Chan to give that chance back to the students,” Chan said. Butler was in contact with the Kelley School of Business master’s program with potential interns and will soon open the opportunity to undergraduate students as well. “A lot of people will express a lot of interest, but only a percentage of those people will actually show up and put in a real effort,” Butler said. “This is the early stage work, and it is very unstructured. We are more comfortable when they get to the next level.” Chan said a big motivation for this change was to give back to people. “Terry took the time to give back to me, and I would feel horrible if someone didn’t get an opportunity,” Chan said. commonly referred to as the “genius grant.” For art buffs, an exhibit at the IU Art Museum, titled “Lewis Hine and Child Labor,” will showcase photographer Lewis Hine’s work documenting the lives of young immigrants, according to the release.

PSIA redesigns, launches new Protect IU site By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich
Public Safety and Institutional Assurance at IU has launched a redesigned Protect IU website, protect. iu.edu, for the fall, available for all IU campuses statewide. Assurance Communications Manager Tracy James, who was instrumental in the redesign, said the new website was adopted to create ease of access and make more information on campus safety and security available online. As in the past, the Protect IU website combines the resources of multiple university emergency management resources, such as PSIA, the IU Police Department and IU-Notify. However, the newly redesigned website now incorporates a mobile-friendly platform accessible via cell phones. Protect IU was originally created four to five years ago, at the same time as PSIA, to update existing information on public safety and to organize this information in a place where students, parents and professors could find it easily “It became fairly popular,” PSIA Associate Vice President Mark Bruhn said. “And we discovered this past year that it just wasn’t effective enough, especially as we wanted people to access safety and other information quickly and easily with their personal devices.” James said the most commonly visited pages on the old website included IUNotify, cyber security training and Ebola, which can all be found on the redesigned Protect IU. The new website organizes information into four categories: police and public safety; emergency, continuity and planning; online safety and security; and environmental health and safety.
“Protect IU, since it was created, has provided information about these areas on one site,” James said. “But we really worked hard with this redesign just to make it easier and to take advantage of the mobile-friendly technology, because we really want people to have this information.” Protect IU’s homepage prominently displays two buttons, “Report a concern” and “Report an IT incident.” James said these two links cover a wide range of students’ safety and privacyrelated concerns. Also on the website’s homepage are rotating information blocks that change with the season, Bruhn said. “The rotating information on the main page has to do with what people are or should be concerned about at a given time,” Bruhn said. “So, during tornado season or winter weather season, you should see information about those things.” In addition to general safety information, Protect IU includes specific details on everything from how to receive background checks for working with children’s programs to environmental safety standards required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Information on how to handle an active shooter situation, bomb threats or even an earthquake have also been made available, along with posters with security and privacy information that can be posted in residence halls and classrooms for educational use. “Our crew here, along with IU Creative Services, worked very, very hard over a year or more to get it converted prior to the start of the fall semester,” Bruhn said. “And I am very pleased with the way it turned out. I have not seen another comprehensive website like it anywhere in higher education.”

ACLU fighting law preventing ballot selfies The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana is challenging a state law that makes it illegal for voters to photograph their election ballot or share it on social networks. “Taking a picture of one’s ballot and sharing it with family and friends is an expression
of pride and enthusiasm about voting, and is a form of political speech that must be protected,” a Wednesday press release from the organization said. The union has filed suit to protect voters who wish to take ballot “selfies.”
Construction of I-69 prompting complaints Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau5
Years ago, the Tokarski family gathered with friends around a kitchen table in an old Indiana farmhouse. They were discussing the looming construction of Interstate 69 and how they could possibly stop it. The group suspected a project of such magnitude, an interstate route stretching across the southern half of Indiana, would cause severe environmental damage. “We really had the project almost at a standstill until Mitch Daniels came into office,” said Thomas Tokarski, now the president of Citizens for Appropriate Rural Roads. “We still have huge amounts of support from the people in Indiana.” Since that farmhouse meeting, Tokarski said his organization has gathered close to 150,000 signatures on a petition to close the portion of the interstate in Monroe County. Nevertheless, construction recently began on section five of the interstate which follows State Road 37 from Martinsville to Bloomington. “Sometimes you get something in your life that is really important and you just have to go with it, even if you know you’re not going to win,” Tokarski said. Tokarski and his wife alone have sent over 40 complaints to the various government organizations responsible for monitoring the construction project. “The continuing dumping of large amounts of sediment into surface streams is likely to have a major impact on aquatic life,” he wrote in a letter from September 2013. “Is anyone looking at the impacts of this massive

amount of sediment into these ‘Waters of the US,’ and into the karst system in this area?” Tokarski’s complaints were accompanied with photographs of canning jars filled with brownish-orange water and mud-covered creek beds. Now, at the beginning of the newest section of I-69, his concerns are far from assuaged. “This has been going on for years and the waters around here continue to be seriously polluted,” he said. “The karst terrain in this area is sensitive. There’s a lot of sinkholes and caves and things that the polluted water sinks into.” Tokarski accused the In-
diana Department of Environmental Management of not fulfilling its monitoring duties. “You show them the pictures, the water samples and all they say is that all the control measures are in place, therefore there’s no violation,” Tokarski said. “They just repeat that even though you’re showing them that the system is broken.” When Randy Braun, the IDEM inspection chief for the wetlands and stormwater section, described the system, he explained it centers more on inspecting the control measures at the construction areas rather than the effectiveness of those measures in the sur-
rounding environment. “It’s really more of a performance-based permit,” Braun said. “So what will happen is we will conduct periodic compliance inspections. We’re not necessarily going to monitor those receiving waters as much as we’re going to look at the performance of those practices onsite.” Braun explained each site is issued a runoff permit that requires the person in charge of the project to plan measures to minimize the amount of sediment discharged from the area. Though those plans are largely enforced through self-monitoring practices, Braun noted they work with IDEM staff to develop the
plan and an IDEM representative is often present at the site. “There are precautions, but there’s always a possibility that there could be a bypass or something like that,” Braun said, referencing instances when sediment gets around protective barriers. Barry Sneed, IDEM’s public information officer, said when runoff does get into streams, a vacuum truck is used to suck the sediment out. “If it hasn’t been caught from a preventative measure, it’s been caught from a remediation measure after the fact when we inspect it,” Sneed said. Braun said all complaints
are recorded, responded to within two weeks and addressed appropriately. Due to the complaints submitted during construction of the last interstate segment, he promised that IDEM is taking extra time when planning section five. Tokarski now recognizes he can’t stop I-69 from being built. Even so, he vowed to continue fighting for a more environmentally friendly building process. “Trying to take away highways in Indiana is like trying to take away guns or apple pie,” he said. “It’s God’s highway. When God comes back for the second coming, He’s coming in on I-69.”

IU alumnus Wayne Shive Best Boy & Co. in 2007 as a way to raise money for various charities. The company has since grown and is now selling products in eight states.
IU alumnus seeking to be ‘Hoosier Paul Newman’ By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6
When Wayne Shive was an IU senior in 1971, he couldn’t cook a thing. Though his father always loved being in the kitchen, Shive’s college diet consisted mainly of microwavable macaroni and cheese. His old roommates might be surprised to learn, then, that Shive is now the founder of a rapidly growing food company. Shive started Best Boy & Co., a gourmet sauce company, in 2007. The brand’s dessert sauces, hot sauces, barbecue sauces and more are now sold in eight different states. All of the profits are donated to nonprofits focused on helping families or children.
“We’re starting to get enough value that we’re starting to make money,” Shive said. “And as soon as we start to make money, we start giving it away.” So far, Shive has been able to raise between $10,000-12,000 for charities like the American Red Cross, the Enough Project and Doctors Without Borders. “We have no employees. Well I’m the only employee but I don’t get paid,” Shive said. “I’m trying to run the business as effectively and efficiently as possible so that there’s more to give.” Shive creates his own sauce recipes in his home kitchen in Fort Wayne. He then works with a packaging company that makes the recipes and sends the jars out across the Midwest and beyond.
Shive said he tries to use local ingredients as often as possible. He gets tomatoes from Red Gold and uses Upland beer in his bourbon caramel sauce. “There are young — well, in my case, not so young — creative minds out there who have really great ideas,” he said. “Those ideas tend to germinate where they live or socialize or whatever. So if you buy local foods, those should be in keeping with the tastes of the community because that’s where all the influences come from.” Shive said he hopes that Best Boy, a company named in honor of his dog, continues to spread throughout the country so he can send more money to charities. “I want to be the Hoosier Paul Newman,” he said. “I even have blue eyes.”

A downtown office space is renting cubicles hourly, weekly and monthly for professionals beginning Sept. 1. Workspace by Blue Burro is seeking to gather individuals in a collaborative environment, and the organization said they hoped the process of co-working will spark creative content, create new ideas and encourage new businesses and start-ups to form in Bloomington. Jordan Bolen, who works in customer support, said the idea came almost by accident. “We needed more office space,” Bolen said. However, they had too much space in the back of the Kirkwood Design studio. He and other employees decided to turn the unused space into a collaborative one. Casey Thompson, a marketing specialist, said she hoped to see new businesses forming as a result of the space. “We want to bring young professionals to Bloomington,” Thompson said. For those who utilize the

Since the redesigning process is often technological, Martoglio said he thinks a collaborative environment would help both businesses and clients create better solutions. “It will bring the kind of people we want,” Martoglio said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 public school teachers declined 12.3 percent in the state. The nation’s overall average was a decrease of 3.2 percent. Kathleen Funk, an IU senior studying elementary education and English as a new language, said she’s well aware teachers don’t make a lot of money, but that isn’t stopping her from entering the profession. “Going into teaching, I’m not really going into it for the money,” she said. “The benefits of teaching are a lot more than getting paid.” Still, Funk said higher salaries could help combat the teacher shortage across the U.S. YE WANG | IDS
IU men’s soccer player Jeremiah Gutjahr and Billy McConnell block the attacking path in the game against Western Michigan on Thursday.
IU plans to spread St. John’s By Lionel Lim lalimwei@indiana.edu | @lionelimwx
IU men’s soccer will kick off their first regular season game Friday against St. John’s in the Adidas/IU Credit Union Classic, and they will be aiming to get their season off on the right foot. The Hoosiers have used their three preseason exhibition games to evaluate the team and find a system to maximize the potential of all the players in the team. Despite the youth of the team, IU Coach Todd Yeagley is satisfied his charges have performed well during the exhibition games, and they look to be able to use that as a springboard to kick-start their regular season. “You can’t get everything done you hope for in the preseason, but I think we’ve identified our areas the best we can and got a lot of evaluation done in the three games,” Yeagley said. “It’s still a young team, even the guys back. They haven’t played maybe one season together, some of them, let alone two or three,
so we thought we got a lot accomplished.” The three exhibition games have shown IU has the potential to mix it up. The loss to Valparaiso was not the start the Hoosiers wanted for their preseason exhibition games, but Yeagley still sees positives from the three matches. IU also showed they had the mental capacity to immediately bounce back from their loss, Yeagley said, as they overcame Western Michigan at Memorial Stadium. The men showed a willingness to get physical and had the flexibility to adapt their game to meet the challenge posed, he said. The Hoosiers returned to their more customary offensive style of play against Marquette. Those three games demonstrated their ability to mix it up. The acquisition of forward Ben Maurey, a Brown graduate transfer, has also given the attack another option. Playing at the tip of the offense, Maurey’s physicality and athleticism gives IU’s attack various options. The
6-foot-5 forward can either choose to hold up play or simply use his speed to have a run at defenses. “I’m not too worried about the number of goals. I want to help the team out as much as I can,” Maurey said. “If I score a ton of goals, that’s great. If my role’s more of drawing men out of the box to free Grant or Femi up or just making the right runs to open up some space for Tanner to dribble through, I’m fine with that. If I’m getting assists and helping make plays, that’s fine.” His off-the-ball movement could be a key factor in the upcoming game against St. John’s, especially if Yeagley chooses to use flanks to breach the defensive line. “I see (St. John’s) very compact, so that means your wide players’ ability to stretch them is important, so I emphasize that,” Yeagley said. The Hoosiers and Yeagley placed emphasis on plays in the wings during Wednesday’s open training. “It’s going to be harder to play through them, we feel, based on speculation, so we
think it might come down to the final serve,” Yeagley said. “That’s wraps you need all year — but maybe this weekend in particular — we wanted to have extra wraps to get around the edge.” Players like junior Tanner Thompson and junior Phil Fives have the ability to deliver balls from out wide, and having another towering presence like Maurey in the box would give another dimension to the attack. The new No. 9 could simply go for the ball himself or draw markers out for someone like senior Femi Hollinger-Janzen to ghost in. His presence can also be a bonus on corners, as he can draw markers to him, opening space up for defender Grant Lillard. Thompson and Fives can also go down the flanks to whip balls in. This, coupled with the presence of having Hollinger-Janzen and Maurey in the box, could be the best way to breach St. John’s goal, Yeagley said, as the Hoosiers look to do their damage from the flanks.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 a Beyoncé medley. The rest of the roster for the night included Patricia Yolanda Weave and DeAndre Jackson. Raven and April Carrión, who were featured on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” also took turns dancing and lip-syncing. Patricia took the stage after Argenta, bursting from backstage in a pink leopard print jumpsuit. Her routine led her to interact with the audience, motorboating one boy in the front row and teasing another with a brief lap dance near the end of her performance. DeAndre danced down the center aisle to the Madonna classic, “Vogue,” a large purple bow bouncing on his chest. His bow was soon discarded along with his wig as he made his way back into the audience, grinding on students sitting in the front few rows. Though she didn’t perform, local drag queen Mocha Debeaute, known as the Beyoncé of Bloomington, attended the event. “I think it educates the community on a different art form,” she said. “I think
Money, though, isn’t the only issue. “This is a national and even an international issue right now,” Lotter said. Lotter said he believes the Indiana General Assembly will begin working on the problem. Before the matter is tackled by state lawmakers, however, Lotter said they must try to gain a better understanding of what’s causing the shortage. “Let’s get a better handle on what is actually leading to this decline,” he said. Despite the shortage, Hicks said he believes there will always be people willing to teach. “It’s unlikely to me that we’re not going to see people drawn into the teaching profession,” Hicks said.
“There are forums, there are speeches, there are films, there are support groups, but we need to have a little more fun sometimes.” Doug Bauder, director of IU’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services
it combats the idea of what drag queens are and takes it from what they see on TV as ‘bitchy,’ drag queens as being people who are not bitchy, who actually have a soul and are people instead of what they see on TV.” The event was senior Jodie Otter’s first drag show. She said it was one of her bucket-list items when coming to IU from a small, Midwestern town. “I like the flamboyant characters,” Otter said. “It’s something I never get to be.” Though there was plenty to learn from the event, Bauder said he sees it as a night of entertainment. “I hear people say there are forums, there are speeches, there are films, there are support groups, but we need to have a little more fun sometimes, so this is an event to have fun,” he said.

IT’S A MAD MAD WORLD
My anaconda don’t want your rude selfies
Kesha Dr. Luke
ILLUSTRATION BY NHAN NGUYEN | IDS
Billboard’s top blunders WE SAY: Offensive survey discredits victims Kesha has become the butt of many jokes. She makes catchy songs about people who don’t have it together, and as such she is often a punch line. However, the butt of a joke still has basic rights. Kesha has accused her manager, Dr. Luke, of sexual, physical and emotional abuse. Dr. Luke has countered by saying she is attempting to extort him, and he said he is suing her. Billboard magazine evidently thought that was hilarious and sent a survey to top music executives asking them who they believed, the singer or the manager. The survey also covered other topics, like how Justin Bieber’s career would pan out in a few years and who were the biggest jerks in the industry. As with most cases of abuse, the details are tricky. Dr. Luke may not have known how he was affecting Kesha, or she misunderstood their dynamic.
With no clear evidence, proving allegations of abuse becomes a mind-numbing game of “he said, she-said.” However, that does not mean it shouldn’t be taken seriously. What Billboard has done is effectively take the gravity away from the situation, and they have turned it into an inside joke among the people who are responsible for producing a large chunk of media that circulates today. Furthermore, there is an ever-increasing demand for transparency, and, whether or not transparency is readily available, the public will force companies to be honest. It is surprising that Billboard would have sent out a survey like this in a world where information is readily available and that they didn’t expect consequences. It speaks to a large and serious issue of hypocrisy within these companies. With as many female artists as there are right now declaring themselves feminist, wanting to fight for equal rights and to protect marginalized groups, it is
ludicrous that those same artists should have to face insidious discrimination within an institution that wants to present itself as forward-thinking. And of course, there’s the ever-present problem of the lack of appreciation for situations of abuse and assault. Even if Kesha is fabricating her claims, and even if Dr. Luke’s claims of extortion are true, when someone speaks about abuse, we need to listen. To make light of the situation so publicly is to send a message to victims who are not famous — to women, children and men — who feel the only thing they will receive if they try to get away or reveal their abuser is humiliation — or worse, people will side with their abuser, and they will receive no help at all. We can laugh at a artists all we want, we can enjoy their music and we can make fun of it, but we can’t ignore when they try to publicize with a serious issue. Kesha has a platform to talk about recognizing and escaping abuse, and we need to give it to her. She deserves that.

Voice for rape victims in court and in our culture In a courtroom in Concord, New Hampshire, last week a 16-year-old girl burst into tears while being crossexamined about a rape she said occurred at the hands of a fellow student in May 2014, when she was only 15. St. Paul’s School, a private preparatory school in Concord, is one of the most prestigious and selective schools in the country. It has produced 13 U.S. ambassadors, a Nobel Prize winner, three Pulitzer Prize winners and numerous other famous, important and powerful individuals. It is also where the girl, whose name has not been released to the public because she is a minor, reports that she was raped by then-senior Owen Labrie, now 19. According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, there are approximately 293,000 victims of sexual assault in the United States each year. 68 percent of sexual assaults are never reported to police. One might ask, if rape and sexual assault are so common — occurring on average once every 107
seconds in the U.S. alone — why don’t more victims come forward and report what happened to them? The St. Paul’s School case provides a perfect example of why many victims choose to remain silent. Law enforcement, the court system and the media all contribute to the retraumatization of victims of sexual assault and abuse if victims do decide to come forward. Law enforcement officers often fail to take such reports seriously, and sometimes engage in victim-blaming, such as suggesting that a victim should not have been in a certain place or dressed in a certain way. Both law enforcement and the courts are woefully undereducated about sexual assault, rape, abuse and the ways in which trauma can cause a victim’s “inconsistencies” about what occurred. This is exactly what happened to the girl in the New Hampshire courtroom, who apologized to the defense attorney who questioned her. “I’m sorry I was cloudy because I was traumatized,”
she said. Victims of crimes such as rape and abuse should never have to apologize for the trauma that was inflicted on them. Yet they are too often accused of having made up “false allegations” because their stories might appear inconsistent or because they did not report an assault immediately. Just being in a courtroom with her rapist or abuser can make a victim feel anxious, afraid and unsafe. Imagine trying to recall details from a year ago or more while feeling absolute terror at being in the same room as your attacker. In the St. Paul’s School trial, unfair jury selection appears stacked in favor of Labrie, rather than the girl who reported that he raped her. The jury consists of 11 men and only three women. Even the way such cases are reported in the media can reinforce a victim’s perception that no one believes her and that the whole world is against her. Labrie is an “alleged rapist,” and the 16-year-old is an

“alleged victim.” So-called “men’s rights activists” love to suggest that there is an epidemic of “false accusations of rape,” as though women just wake up and, in a fit of boredom or vindictiveness, decide to accuse innocent men of rape. The ordeal endured by real victims, however, shows how patently absurd this idea is. No one would run that kind of gauntlet just for fun or spite. When a woman comes forward about a rape, she is being incredibly brave. The least we can do is take her seriously. With one in six women in the U.S. experiencing sexual assault in her lifetime, chances are that many of your friends and classmates have stories like this. Unfortunately, chances also are that they have remained silent because they know they won’t be believed. woodsmj@indiana.edu

It’s almost a scene you would see in “House of Wax” instead of the real world. Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas is especially busy addressing the issue of visitors taking inappropriate pictures with a new Nicki Minaj wax figure. The female rapper was on the Pinkprint music tour when her wax figure debuted in Vegas. Minaj’s replica depicts her on her hands and knees, an “iconic pose” from the controversial “Anaconda” music video. And what do you know, people decided to act disgusting, per usual. Shortly after the figure was revealed for public viewing, pictures of guests posing in sexual positions with the Minaj double surfaced on social media. Images feature people replicating oral sex, licking, groping and other degrading poses with the figure. Madame Tussauds released a statement saying they would increase staff in the area to solve the problem. Let me say I’m ashamed this is something that even has to be addressed. Though, according to HollywoodLife, Minaj has expressed “flatt(ery)” over the “wild” pictures from her fans, it’s nothing to laugh off — more importantly, she’s probably holding her tongue for the sake of these fans. Did no one really think people weren’t going to take advantage of Minaj’s submissively posed figure? Have they never met high school boys? Fellow female rapper Azealia Banks evidently saw this coming, tweeting, “As much as that woman has accomplished, they had to put her on all fours...Why not standing up with a mic in her

hand?” and “Martha Stewart’s most iconic moment was when she went to jail, but they didn’t put her wax figure in a jail uniform...Come on y’all...” There’s no argument that Minaj isn’t an iconic sex figure, but so are other women featured in the museum. Madame Tussauds didn’t create a wax figure of Miley Cyrus grinding with Robin Thicke, though the act was a rather controversial and wellcovered topic in the media. Cyrus’ figure is of her swinging on a wrecking ball — fully clothed, I might add — from the music video “Wrecking Ball,” though the video also featured her naked and provocatively licking a sledgehammer. Kim Kardashian, who became famous off a sex tape, isn’t in any sort of degrading pose. She’s posed taking a selfie in the London branch of the museum. The decision to create a wax figure in this position wasn’t an oversight. It was a reflection of how many describe Minaj: ratchet instead of powerful and respected. This wasn’t a celebration of a woman’s accomplishments as a rapper, an artist who broke a YouTube record or a female owning her sexuality. It was an opportunity to defile a woman whom society has already devalued. It doesn’t matter how many albums she has sold or that “Grand Piano” gives me shivers and “Feeling Myself” makes me feel invincible. So, because she won’t say it, I will: “wax off,” creeps. maehogan@indiana.edu
KARL’S CORNER
A Caitlyn Jenner Halloween Although Halloween seems like it’s a million years away, it’s already time to start planning your costume. Typically this spooky season is a time for sugar highs, dressing up as superstars and wandering streets scattered with crunchy, yellow leaves. It’s also a time of controversy. Every year, a costume sparks cultural criticism. Last year, it was the hazmat suits amidst the tidal wave of Ebola scares. This year it’s the celebrity that’s stolen the spotlight of 2015, the person who held the gaze of millions at the Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards and stood up for a group of people who have been shrouded in the dark for a long time. Caitlyn Jenner isn’t just a celebrity. She’s an emblem of equality, freedom and new perspectives. Unfortunately, before her vocal outcry for transgender equality, these issues were strictly kept behind embarrassed, closed doors and familial aversion. Afterward, the world heard numerous stories of courage in finding one’s own identity in a time of difficult transition. Even so, while many idolize Jenner for bringing transgender issues to light, others obviously disagree and deem her actions a celebrity excuse for stardom. Whether or not this is true, I became curious when news outlets and fans were outraged at the thought of dressing up as Caitlyn Jenner for Halloween. On one hand, I recognize all well-known icons have costumes at Party City that are ready for the masses to wear. People apply makeup in order to create a façade of someone famous. The motive for wearing a certain costume varies by age. I find children usually dress up as those they venerate.
Jessica Karl is a junior in English.
It’s innocent and possibly naïve, but who wouldn’t want to give a chocolate bar to a little girl dressed up as Beyoncé? As the demographic rises, the motive becomes slightly sinister — sometimes it’s mocking the public figure on behalf of a political motive, other times it’s just a witty joke because it’s a costume. There’s no concrete answer as to whether or not people should wear this costume, but in the end I think there’s more harm done than good. This is my main question: Is this creating more boxes to squeeze into for those who are gender-nonconforming? Not all transgender individuals identify as a Caitlyn Jenner prototype. A cream corset and long brown locks shouldn’t be a concrete mold that symbolizes what it means to be transgender. Although there are firefighter, nurse, police, even nun costumes, the Caitlyn Jenner costume seems to be on another level altogether. She’s a hero to many, yes, but she’s also a joke to many. I wish we could recognize this costume as an idolization of a woman who has taken great strides to bettering a marginalized community of individuals with no voice. However, in reality, I fear if I were to see someone wearing this costume on the street, my mind would immediately jump in the disturbing direction of crass mockery. The idea of a costume is to put on a new identity, a mask. Why try to dress up as someone who has just chosen to take off the mask they’ve worn their entire life? jlkarl@indiana.edu

Hoosiers basketball releases full 2015-16 schedule By Andy Wittry awittry@indiana.edu | @AndyWittry
The IU men’s basketball program announced the team’s 201516 schedule Thursday night, revealing a 31-game slate that features a road game against the defending national champions, an appearance in the Maui Invitational and a late-season home matchup against in-state rival Purdue. IU released the non-conference portion of its schedule soon after the Big Ten Network announced the Hoosiers’ conference schedule on BTN Live. The Hoosiers — widely projected to be one of the top 15 teams in the country — kick off their season against Eastern Illinois on Friday, Nov. 13, at home. IU Coach Tom Crean and company will face one true road test before league play when the Hoosiers
travel to Durham, North Carolina, to face Duke on Dec. 2 in the ACC/ Big Ten Challenge. The game will be broadcast on ESPN at 9:15 p.m. IU’s marquee home game in its non-conference schedule is against Creighton, a matchup that’s part of the inaugural year of the Gavitt Tipoff Games — an eight-game series between the Big Ten and the Big East scheduled for mid-November. Four of the Hoosiers’ non-conference games will be played on a neutral court. IU will play in the Maui Invitational for the sixth time in school history, where the Hoosiers will face Wake Forest in the opening round. It’s IU’s first appearance in the tournament since 2008. Chaminade, Kansas, St. John’s, UCLA, UNLV, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest will join the Hoosiers in Hawaii. “It’s an incredible tournament
and an unreal honor for us as a team and a staff and certainly a University and a fan base to be a part of it,” Crean said in July in a teleconference for the coaches competing in this year’s Maui Invitational. IU will play three games in as many days in the 50th state during the week of Thanksgiving. Almost a month later, IU will travel to Indianapolis’ Bankers Life Fieldhouse for a Crossroads Classic matchup against Notre Dame on Dec. 19 at 2 p.m. The rest of IU’s non-conference schedule is filled with a handful of games against small-school competition – Alcorn State, Austin Peay, IPFW, Kennesaw State, Morehead State and McNeese State. IU opens Big Ten play on the road against Rutgers on Wednesday, Dec. 30, while the Hoosiers’ Big Ten home opener is against
Wisconsin on Tuesday, Jan. 5. The Hoosiers play Purdue and Big Ten-favorite Maryland just once, and both games will be played in Assembly Hall. IU will also play Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers once each, while facing Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin twice. In ESPN’s latest preseason top 25 poll — published Aug. 5 — seven of IU’s potential regular season opponents were ranked. No. 1 Maryland, No. 5 Kansas, No. 6 Duke, No. 16 Notre Dame, No. 18 Vanderbilt, No. 19 Michigan State and No. 24 Wisconsin earned the nod. IU could potentially meet Vanderbilt in the second round of the Maui Invitational and Kansas in the championship game if both schools win their first two games.

WOMEN’S SOCCER
Hoosiers travel to West Lafayette for season openers By Danny White danswhit@indiana.edu
The IU women’s soccer team travels to Purdue this weekend for its first games of the regular season. However, the Hoosiers will not play the Boilermakers. Instead, IU will play in the Boilermaker Challenge Cup, named for the Hoosiers’ in-state rival. After playing two home games resulting in a loss and tie respectively, IU (0-11) seeks its first win in West Lafayette against Missouri and Baylor. “I think it will be important to stick with our game plan,” senior midfielder Jessie Bujouves said. “Recognize what their tendencies are and exploit them in areas that they’re deficient in and continue to play Indiana soccer.” IU plays Missouri at 4 p.m. Friday in West Lafayette to open both the weekend tournament and the Hoosiers’ regular season. The Hoosiers will face a Tigers team fresh off a 2-0 home defeat of TCU and a tie with SMU, 1-1. IU then faces Baylor at 11 a.m. Sunday to close the weekend. At home last weekend, Baylor (0-2) lost to USF, 2-1, in double overtime and followed that loss with another 2-1 defeat to Michigan State. “Both are top teams in the conference,” Bujouves said. “They’re going to be tough, physical.” The Hoosiers are not taking either of their upcoming opponents lightly. “They’re both very athletic teams, pretty good in

possession,” IU Coach Amy Berbary said. “They have quite a few dynamic, creative players, so we’ll have to make sure that we contain them.” While the Hoosiers weren’t able to execute much offensively in pre-
season play — the Hoosiers have only one goal so far — they can take pride in their defensive effort. IU has not allowed a goal since the first half of its first exhibition game against Virginia Tech. The team has played a total of six periods
in exhibition play, including two 10-minute overtime periods against Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. “We defend with all 11,” Berbary said. “We are still trying to progress as a program. Where we stack up
The Hoosiers travel, scrimmage to begin preseason crobb@indiana.edu | @CourttyKayy
The Hoosiers are back in action starting this weekend as the IU women’s volleyball team travels to Murfreesboro, Tennesse, to start their preseason. The Hoosiers will be playing in the Middle Tennessee Blue Raider Bash. “I think every team in the country is probably ready to play at this point against somebody other than themselves,” IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said. Last week, the Hoosiers played a scrimmage that was open to the public to get themselves ready for the upcoming season. “When you play at Indiana and you have hundreds of people come out to a
Cream and Crimson Scrimmage, it gives our kids a feel of playing in that type of environment,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. The scrimmage allowed IU to practice in front of a crowd with a game-time feel to help the players prepare to play in front of similar crowds this weekend. “I really like the way they hold the Cream and Crimson Scrimmage because we really do practice like it’s a true game day, especially for freshman and others who haven’t played as much,” senior outside hitter Amelia Anderson said. “It’s a really good atmosphere for how we prepare on game day.” Like any start to the season, the Hoosiers haven’t had experience playing against anyone but each

other. “A lot of communication has to happen, and then we’ve got to rise up to that level,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “They’re going to be in the same position as us, so whoever reacts in a more positive way and can elevate that game will win matches this weekend.” IU will play against three different teams this weekend, including Bowling Green, Cleveland State and Middle Tennessee State. Junior outside hitter Makayla Lundin said one of the Hoosiers’ biggest obstacles will be consistent traveling, as they will be playing away for four of their first five matches. “Even though we really try to prepare for that, there’s no way to prepare

for that other than just going out and competing and trying to make it home as much as possible,” Lundin said. IU is still optimistic about their readiness to start competing against other teams and how they will fare in the upcoming season, DunbarKruzan said. “I think the team is definitely prepared on the court,” Anderson said. “I mean, we’re doing a lot of new stuff this year. Being a senior, you know, we’ve been kind of doing the same thing every year that I’ve been here, and this year we’re really changing. I think that’s going to be something positive going into preseason, where we’re going to be a different team.”

Who will win the Heisman Trophy in 2015? With the college football season fast approaching, here are my top five players to watch in this year’s Heisman Trophy race. 5. Oregon RB Royce Freeman Marcus Mariota, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, is gone, so the focus of the Oregon Ducks’ offense has to be put on someone in the backfield because Oregon has yet to figure out their quarterback situation. As a freshman, Freeman led the Ducks in rushing with 1,365 yards for 18 touchdowns. The opportunities are sure to increase for Freeman as the Ducks try to figure out how to replace Mariota. However, even though Mariota has left, Oregon is not going to change its schemes. The Ducks’ offense will still be the best in the nation — they will still run the hurry-up offense, and they are going to score a lot of points. 4. Arizona LB Scooby Wright It’s uncommon even to hear a defensive player’s name mentioned in a Heisman Trophy watch. The last defensive player in the mix was Notre Dame’s inside linebacker Manti Te’o. After having a record-breaking season with 103 tackles and seven interceptions in 2012, Te’o finished second to Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel. But linebacker Scooby Wright, the 2014 Bednarik, Lombardi and Nagurski award winner, could be a real contender in 2015. Last season, Wright recorded 163 tackles and 14 sacks and forced six fumbles. Playing in the Pac-12, he’ll get a lot of national spotlight, and perhaps Wright can become the first defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy since Michigan cornerback Charles Woodson in 1997. 3. Ohio State RB Ezekiel Elliott It’s not one of the three quarterbacks the Buckeyes have. It’s the junior running back, Ezekial Elliott. Closing out the season strong with three consecutive 200-yard rushing performances, including 246 yards and four touchdowns
Michael Hernandez is a junior in journalism.
in the National Championship against Oregon, Elliott ran for 1,878 yards and 18 touchdowns on a team that had stellar quarterback play. 2. USC QB Cody Kessler Is this the year we finally see USC contend for a National Championship again? If anyone is going to put the Trojans back in the national spotlight, it’s senior quarterback Cody Kessler. Last season, Kessler threw for 3,826 yards and 39 touchdowns in first-year head coach Steve Sarkisian’s high-tempo offense. Kessler also threw only five interceptions all year for almost an 8-to-1 touchdown-tointerception ratio. With Sarkisian entering his second year of coaching at USC and Kessler having a year with a new offensive scheme, the Trojans are going to be a team to reckon with. Even though target Nelson Agholor left for the NFL, look for Kessler to continue to put up big numbers going into his final season. 1. TCU QB Trevone Boykin After finishing fourth in Heisman voting in 2014 and undergoing surgery in his non-throwing hand at the end of spring practice, Trevone Boykin is atop my list of Heisman Trophy candidates. In 2014, Boykin impressed the nation with his throwing ability, passing for 3,901 yards with 33 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions. However, what amazes most people is what he does with his legs. On 152 carries, he rushed for 707 yards and eight touchdowns. Boykin leads a high-flying TCU spread offense and a team that finished second in the nation in scoring with 46.4 points per game and a 93rd-ranked strength of schedule in 2015. He is my choice to become not only the second player in TCU history to win the Heisman Trophy award, but he will also lead the Horned Frogs to their third National Championship. michbhern@indiana.edu

IU tight ends use depth to answer the bell By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @trlehman_IU
Five guys. One unit. That’s the motto for the “TE Bros.” The nearly unknown position of tight end on the Hoosiers roster comes into the 2015 season under the radar. No hype for production. No hype for inexperience. No hype for injury recoveries. Production was practically stagnant in 2014, as the group accounted for 10 receptions in its entirety; however, the group comes into the season littered with experience, as three of the five players are seniors. The only injury that hit the tight ends last season was to Danny Friend, who missed the entire season with a knee injury, but he is back in action at full speed. The only question surrounding the Hoosiers’ tight end position is who is going to start. “We don’t think we need
one superstar guy,” senior tight end Anthony Corsaro said. One superstar tight end might not even be an option for the Hoosiers, as none of the five tight ends have the résumé of a top tight end in the Big Ten. Corsaro, who received his final scholarship this week, walked on at IU from Cathedral High School in Indianapolis. Senior Michael Cooper has the most experience of the bunch, as he was a backup tight end at Arizona before transferring to IU in 2013. Sophomore Danny Friend was a defensive recruit in 2013 after he recorded 56 tackles and 7 sacks in his senior season at Morris High School in Illinois. Sophomore Jordan Fuchs didn’t play football until his junior year of high school, but he received 15 Division I scholarship offers for basketball. Senior Sean Damaska had never played football before
college, but he did average 13 points and 8 rebounds per game playing basketball at Blessed Trinity Catholic High School in Georgia. “Whatever they ask us to do, we’ll do,” Corsaro said. “We like catching the ball, obviously. We want to be playmakers. If we need to block or pass block or catch the ball, we’re going to do all those things to the best of our ability. Just answering the bell when our number is called.” The tight end-by-committee strategy is being embraced by the Hoosiers, as IU Coach Kevin Wilson has repeatedly mentioned the advantages of depth at the tight end position in summer camp. “We want to have at least two of us out on the field at all times if we can make our presence felt so much that Coach Wilson feels like he needs to do that,” Corsaro said. Along with the offensive line, the tight ends made their presence felt in the blocking schemes in 2014, allowing
the Hoosiers’ rushing attack to explode for 3,163 yards, including former running back Tevin Coleman’s historic 2,036 yards and 15 touchdowns. With the receiving corps still unproven and passes no longer coming from a freshman quarterback, there’s a possibility the tight ends could see more receiving opportunities than in 2014. “I wouldn’t say more excitement, but our sense of urgency is a lot higher,” Corsaro said about an increased receiving opportunity. “I’m just excited for us to compete and win games because I think we have a chance to do a lot of things that people may not expect from us.” At 6-foot-3, 250 pounds, Corsaro has the stature to catch passes at the tight end position. So does the 6-foot-6, 233-pound Fuchs. Cooper, who stands at 6-foot-5, 257 pounds, and Friend, who is 6-foot-5, 261 pounds, could maintain the blocking responsibilities for
the position. Regardless of who gets the passes, though, the passes will be coming from senior quarterback Nate Sudfeld. “Suddy makes the whole team a lot better,” Cooper said. “He pushes us to be the best players we can be, and this offseason, we knew we had to be a bigger part of the pass game. We put in a lot of work to try to get that coordination down.” The tight end group was the last group off the practice field Thursday, and, in skeleton drills, Corsaro and company could be seen catching touchdown passes off of post routes in the seam of the defense. “There’s really no secret ingredient,” Corsaro said. “Just putting the time in. Suddy’s a really smart quarterback, and he really works hard. We try to get in the film room with him and get on the field with him. Get some extra reps and just take advantage of the reps we do have. You can’t have days where you

IU enters the 2015-16 college basketball season as the No. 4 team in the country, according to Lindy’s Sports’ college basketball preview. The Hoosiers — sitting behind Maryland, North Carolina and Kentucky — are projected to finish second in the Big Ten. The publication has lofty expectations for the Hoosiers as a team, as well as individually. Yogi Ferrell and James Blackmon Jr. are preseason first-team All-Big Ten selections. Troy Williams is on the second team, and
Thomas Bryant is a third team all-conference pick. Lindy’s ranks Ferrell as the No. 4 point guard in the nation, Blackmon Jr. as the No. 6 shooting guard and Williams as No. 6 small forward in the country. The magazine projects IU to be a Final Four team with Big Ten foe Maryland winning the national championship. IU is expected to be a top-15 team in the AP preseason poll, after failing to break the top-25 in 2014 and losing to Wichita State in the round of 64. Andy Wittry

Global art business and auction house Sotheby’s will auction off the ABBA grand piano at their Rock & Pop auction Sept. 29. The piano, originally used by the Swedish pop band ABBA, was featured in many of their songs through the 1970s.
The piano was used on ABBA’s hit tracks such as “Mamma Mia,”“Waterloo,”“Money, Money, Money” and “Dancing Queen.” The piano’s minimum estimated value is 600,000 pounds, the equivalent of about $924,000. No asking price has been listed.
Performance benefits Boys and Girls Clubs Tyler Mohr tymohr@indiana.edu | @tyler_mohr
Pushing a blue piano across the stage, 17-yearold Jacob Sexton directed his cast during its dress rehearsal Wednesday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre. “Preparation for the performance has been a lot of hard work, but I believe we will pull it off,” Sexton said. Solarium Productions will have its first performance of “Alice in Wonderland” at 7 p.m. Friday at the Buskirk-Chumley. This will be Sexton’s first time directing a play for Solarium Productions, and his cast’s dedication gives him confidence about the upcoming performance, he said. Solarium Productions producer Prasad Rajamani started the company in March 2015 with the intent to create an entirely student-run production company, he said. Rajamani approached Sexton with the idea, and the two began to reach out to other high school students to get involved, Sexton said. “People were eager to join because it is hard to come across an experience like this,” Sexton said. Rajamani and Sexton said they reached out to the Boys and Girls Clubs
of Bloomington to raise money for their first performance. “We have invested our own money, we received donations from the Boys and Girls Club sponsors and from our families in order to fund this production,” Sexton said. All of the profits from the show will go to benefit Boys and Girls Clubs of Bloomington, he said. Sexton said directing is a double-edged sword because mistakes fall on his shoulders, but being able to fix those mistakes and pull it off is what he loves most. “Rehearsal for the performance began in June, but we have been preparing since April,” Sexton said. “We have dealt with a number of problems along the way, but each solution ended up yielding an outcome.” Nathaniel Kohlmeier, freshman at IU, will play the role of the Cheshire cat. He said Sexton has a great vision and planned everything for the production ahead of time. “The cast didn’t know each other at first, but because this company is entirely student-run, we have developed a sense of camaraderie,” he said. Kohlmeier said the experience has been a lot of fun and has allowed him to grow as an actor.

Actors of Alice in Wonderland rehearse at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. The play, directed by Jacob Sexton, will premiere Friday. After three months of preparation, Sexton, Bloomington High School South senior, said he is “excited and terrified to see what people think.”
“This really helped me take time with my lines and develop the characteristics needed for my role,” he said. “The best thing about being an actor is the release of your character on stage.” “Alice in Wonderland” will have three showings,
including Friday’s. The next two showings will be at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday. The show will run for one hour and 45 minutes with one intermission, according to the BuskirkChumley website. Ticket prices are $10 for ages 18 or older and $5 for
ages younger than 18. Tickets can be purchased from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday or noon to 5 p.m. on weekends at the Buskirk-Chumley Box Office, located on 114 E. Kirkwood Ave. Tickets can also be purchased on Buskirk-Chumley website.
Danielle McClelland, executive director of the BuskirkChumley, said she expects the audience number to be in the hundreds. “Ticket sales are going well and continue to increase as we get closer to the weekend,” McClelland said.

Students from Sookmyung Women’s University, a national private university located in Seoul, South Korea, will perform at a guest chamber music recital at 8 p.m. Friday in Auer Hall. The event, presented by the Jacobs School of Music, is free and open to the public. The performance will feature 11 students. The performance will feature a piano duo, a piano trio, a vocal duo and a wind quintet. The concert is part of the Sookmyung College of Music’s USA Concert Tour. According to a Jacobs School of Music press release, the collaboration with Sookmyung Women’s University began with Jacobs’ first Asian tour last March. The 36 members of the IU Chamber Orchestra, led by Jacobs professors Jorja Fleezanis and Stephen Wyrczynski, played a series of four concerts in Seoul, according to the press release. The organizing faculty of the recital includes Jung Ae Sohn and Hideki Isoda. Isoda, a professor of mu-

sic at Sookmyung Women’s Univeristy, said the association between the two universities was influenced by his personal connection to IU. “The whole thing is partly because I’m an IU graduate, so I’m taking my students back to Bloomington,” he said. Isoda said the Jacobs School of Music is an excellent music school.

Roy Halston Frowick, known throughout fashion circles as Halston, was a notable designer in the latter part of the 20th century. Though it might not be widely known, Halston was also once a Hoosier. Kate Rowold, tenured professor with the School of Apparel Merchandising and Interior Design, said Halston spent about a semester at IU before attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The Grunwald Gallery will celebrate the work of Halston during its upcoming show, “Halston: Line and Legacy.” The exhibition at the gallery begins Aug. 28. Accompanying lectures will occur throughout the month of September. Rowold is curator of the Sage Collection in the department of apparel merchandising, where many 1970s Halston originals are kept. Rowold said Halston’s IU connection and his significance in fashion history make this exhibit an important one to see. “I’ve realized while doing this exhibition that most people that are college age don’t really know who Halston was,” Rowold said. “The opinion of many fashion historians is that his
designs in the 1970s really led the way for fashion change in the U.S.” At the end of last year, Rowold said, Lesley Frowick, one of Halston’s nieces with whom he was quite close, wrote a book about the designer titled, “Halston: Inventing American Fashion.” Rowold said Frowick, also an IU alumna, agreed to visit campus. She will give a lecture and sign copies of her book Sept. 11. Her visit led to the idea of the Halston exhibition. Halston’s work, as Rowold described it, is “minimal, clean and simple,” and his designs decorated the 1970s discotheque scene. Rowold added that Halston is credited with originating some trends that have since reemerged in the fashion world. “He was one of the first people to make jumpsuits fashionable, and that’s been pretty important trend-wise this year,” Rowold said. “He was also one of the first designers to make ultrasuede fashionable.” As part of the speaker series, Rowold will give a talk at 4 p.m. Sept. 8. The lecture, called “Dressing Disco: Fashion in the Age of Halston,” will take place in the Whittenberger Auditorium. Halston was also a leader in the business side
of the fashion industry, Rowold said. “His designs and his name were bought by a large corporate conglomerate, and that was really the first time that an entire design house with the design services and trademark were bought by a corporate conglomerate,” Rowold said. After the conglomerate made a deal with retailer JCPenney, Halston’s designer identity was compromised beyond repair. “Today, that kind of arrangement is very common, designers rely on that concept to survive,” Rowold said. “It was brand new for Halston, and it ended badly for him — he was actually unable to use his own name to design clothes. It’s a lesson in the history of fashion and business over the last 40 years.” Rowold said she wants to ensure students and fashion minds alike do not soon forget Halston’s contributions to style. “I’m most excited to give students who didn’t know Halston an opportunity to see this work and how it is reflected in today’s fashion,” Rowold said. Lesley Frowick’s lecture will take place at 5 p.m. Sept. 11. Information on the other events associated with the exhibition can be found at the Sage Collection’s website.

The money will be used to expand the IU Credit Union Education Initiative to serve an additional 3,000 elementary students enrolled in Title I Monroe County School Corporation schools, according to the release. Those students will have

Anne Kostyo, director of development for the Cardinal Stage Company, said their program gives kids who may not have the resources to see a live, professional theater production the opportunity to do so. “It’s really critical to the work we do with students,” she said. Cardinal Stage Company is the first arts organization
to be awarded a donation from the group. The fact 100+ Women Who Care donated to the arts is “really beautiful and meaningful to us,” Kostyo said. “They invest their resources in groups that they believe in,” she said. “We can only hope that they would continue to support the arts among all the other wonderful causes,” she said.

The music school has a world tour twice a year. Isoda said the selection of music includes a variety of pieces, giving the students the opportunity to showcase the skills they
learn in the music school. According to the Jacobs School of Music website, the repertoire includes the pieces “Suite No. 2 in C Major for two pianos, Op. 17” by Sergei Rachmaninoff and “‘Viens, Mallika ... Sous le dôme épais’ (‘Flower Duet’) from ‘Lakmé’” by LéoDelibes, “Trio pathétique in D Minor for piano, violin and cello” by Mikhail Glinka and “Serenade for wind quintet
(1951)” by Ferenc Farkas. The concert also features Dong Jin Kim’s “New Arirang for soprano and piano (1942).” This piece is an arrangement of a traditional Korean piece that will be performed by the vocal duo.

On “Deeper than Love,” the fifth track on Colleen Green’s new album “I Want to Grow Up,” the garage rock musician ponders romance in the context of modern technology and growing older. “Nowadays commitment seems like a burden to carry,” she sings. “I don’t wanna think about it — it’s too scary.” “I Want to Grow Up” is the Los Angeles-based songwriter’s third fulllength release and her current tour in support of it will bring her to Bloomington, with a show set for Sunday at the Bishop. Green’s show is scheduled for 8 p.m. The show is 18-plus and admission is $8. Predominantly, “I Want to Grow Up” sees Green exploring the tension between youthful idealism and adulthood as she enters her 30s. “Her firm belief in true love is challenged by the inner turmoil caused by entering modern adulthood, but that doesn’t mean that her faith is defeated,” according to a press release from label Hardly Art. Unlike Green’s previous offerings, which consisted of lo-fi and largely homerecorded garage pop songs, al reaction from members of the IU Korean community who attend the concert. “As soon as they hear the melody, some of them might have tears,” Isoda said. Isoda said he is excited for the students to have the experience of performing outside South Korea and playing for a different audience at IU. Isoda teaches students
“I Want to Grow Up” was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, at Sputnik Sound studio, according to the release. Dan Coleman of Spirit of ’68 Promotions, which will present Green’s show at the Bishop, said he booked Green because she resists the formulaic tendencies of some buzzed-about indie rock acts while also keeping her feet in the ground of “fun, dumb rock ’n’ roll.” “It’s hard to classify her,” he said. “She gets lumped in with the Burger Records, garage rock bands, but there’s an eclectic mix that comes through.” Coleman also compared Green’s album’s youthversus-maturity themes to Bloomington’s current music scene, which he said makes the city a fitting stop on her tour. “We are a college town that has a very strong house show scene,” he said. “We’re caught between ‘Do we want to be a punk town, or do we want to be a Lotus Festival, intellectual oasis in Indiana?’” Hardly Art described “I Want to Grow Up” as “an experience, not unlike life” filled with questions and risks. “I think it’s a perfect time for her to come through,” Coleman said. music entrepreneurship, he said. For students, going on tour throughout the world is a helpful step toward becoming a professional musician, he said. Isoda said he hoped there is a large turnout for the concert, which features wonderful music from one of Seoul’s best universities. “We hope the audience will really enjoy it,” he said.
