After Tuesday night’s debate resulted in varying levels of agreement between IU Student Association hopefuls, the five campaigns took to tabling across campus to convince students to get out and vote.

When reached for statements all tickets expressed satisfaction with the debate’s outcome. Engage’s presidential candidate, junior Michelle Long, said in an email her ticket was “drowning in support and optimism,” but she felt the debate had two flaws, both dealing with representation.

“There were 15 opportunities for women to speak,” Long said. “Three women spoke. I can’t act like that’s not a problem.”

The other issue she identified was a lack of debate attendees who were unaffiliated with a ticket.

She said most people came to clap for their preferred candidate, not learn from the discussion.

Engage had many supporters in the crowd as did each of the other tickets, though not every tickets’ supporters wore identifying clothing or pins.

“That’s not what public debates are for,” Long said in an email. “That wasn’t a debate, it was show-andtell.”

In an email to the Indiana Daily Student, Focus’ presidential candidate, junior Brandon Sakbun, spoke positively of his performance. Sakbun gave opening and closing statements and answered in all question rounds.

Solar bill generates mixed responses

By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy

Public response to testimony given at the Statehouse on Wednesday morning regarding a bill that would end net metering, an incentive for Indiana solar power users, ranged from silence to bursts of applause.

Senate Bill 309, was written by Sen. Brandt Hershman, R-Buck Creek. It proposes abolishing net metering throughout the course of 15 years and it would grandfather in those who have already begun to install alternative energy options.

Currently, Indiana homeowners and businesses that use rooftop solar systems are credited financially by utility companies for the extra power their systems generate and send to the grid. Critics of this process, called net metering, argue it is unfair to non-solar energy users because it charges them for the energy that solar users still take from the grid.

Before opening the floor to testimony, Hershman detailed why he believes the current net metering system is inequitable.

Hershman said he believes net metering acts as a subsidy.

“It’s not only how much you pay for power,” he said. “It’s your ability to receive it on a consistent basis. The sun doesn’t always shine.

There has to be an inherent capacity to make up for that. The grid was not designed to be a two-way instrument.”

Scratch and claw IU squeaks out a win against Cincinnati in pitcher’s duel

By Spencer Davis spjdavis@umail.iu.edu | @spencer_davis16

In IU’s turn to welcome visiting Cincinnati in the 2017 home-and-home series, the Hoosiers were able to send the Bearcats back to Ohio with a 3-2 loss while picking up their sixth victory in the last seven games.

After defeating No. 1 Louisville last night to end the Cardinals’ undefeated start through 19 games, Cincinnati’s bats struggled in Bloomington, and the Bearcats now drop to 10-10 on the year.

It was a pitcher’s duel early on in the ballgame. The starters for both teams held their opposition off the base paths through three-plus innings. IU Coach Chris Lemonis said it was one of those days.

“The wind’s blowing in, it’s

cold, some good pitchers on the mound, and it was a battle,” Lemonis said. “We knew it was going to be a battle when we started, and we won the game by just putting together four good at-bats.”

Sophomore pitcher Jonathan Stiever started the game for IU, now 10-8-1, but was scheduled to pitch just one inning as he rehabs from an upper body injury.

The Cedarburg, Wisconsin, native needed just 10 pitches to send Cincinnati’s first three batters down in order, and sophomore lefthander Tim Herrin took over to begin the second inning.

Herrin led IU on the mound by tossing four innings and allowing only one run on one hit to pick up the win.

Junior pitcher A.J. Olasz

entered the game with a 2-0 record and a 0.57 earned run average and got the nod for the Bearcats. He has experience against the Hoosiers and beat them in the previous matchup this season and in a game last season.

After retiring the first 10 IU batters, Olasz allowed four consecutive hits that let all three of IU’s runs cross the plate.

Freshman first baseman Matt Gorski got the rally started with a bunt single and moved over to second on a base hit by senior center fielder Craig Dedelow.

Next came sophomore third baseman Luke Miller, , who knocked an RBI double that plated Gorski and advanced Dedelow to third. Freshman catcher Jake Matheny joined the fun by following that up with a

3-2 single that scored both Dedelow and Miller.

Stiever and Herrin combined to no-hit Cincinnati until there was one out in the fifth inning, when Cincinnati sophomore catcher Mason DeAnna delivered an RBI single to right field to drive in junior center fielder Treg Haberkorn, who had reached on a walk then stolen second base.

Herrin said it was nice to beat Cincinnati after the Bearcats bested the Hoosiers in the first game between the two teams.

Broadcasters gear up for proposed budget cuts

By Kathryn Jankowski kjankows@umail.iu.edu | @KathrynJanko56

President Trump recently proposed billions of dollars in budget cuts to most government agencies to pay for a large spending increase for the military and homeland security.

The new budget still has to go through Congress, but this new plan is causing a lot of talk pertaining to the future of many government-funded entities, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, which suffered a 31-percent budget cut.

The Department of Education was cut by 14 percent, and smaller independent agencies, such as the National Endowment for the Arts and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, would lose 100 percent of their government funding, according to the New York Times.

Bloomington is the home of public broadcasting stations WFIU and WTIU, which are both a part of Indiana Public Media and have funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The new budget would eliminate all funding for the CPB. which has been around since 1967 and is the largest source of

funding for public radio, television, and related online and mobile services.

“The CPB is forward-funded by two years, so the money they are threatening to cut wouldn’t hit us until about 2019,” stations operations and content director of WTIU Brent Molnar said. “The reason why it is forward-funded so the budget can’t be affected by political influence immediately.”

The CPB has helped create a regional journalism center at the station.

Without CPB, WFIU and WTIU probably wouldn’t have gotten this journalism center off the ground. That is what is at stake, Molnar said.

WTIU is already getting ahead on preventing this loss of funding by going to Washington, D.C., and explaining to legislators how the work it does helps the community.

Molnar said he spent time meeting with legislators around Indiana and explained to them the importance of WTIU and what it does for education, public safety, civic discourse, election coverage and news coverage.

“Our content is tied to Indiana classrooms with head start programs and amber alerts that

Not only are these programs tied to education, but the station acts as a classroom for many students trying to get into the media business.

Professor creates video game archive

Reem Alturki, a junior at IU, speaks on how she started wearing hijabs in the 11th grade and continues to wear them to normalize Islamic culture. She explains Wednesday that it should not be seen as a form of oppression for women but pride of her Muslim culture.

TRADITION Local Muslim women respond to the European Union court decision allowing ban of religious symbols, such as hijabs, at work

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@umail.iu.edu

IU junior Nurul Huda Mohammad Zal and her friends window shopped at the College Mall in Bloomington. They wore western clothes, but one thing stood out.

They donned hijabs, the traditional headwrap worn by some Muslim women.

One man noticed.

“Go back to your fucking country,” he said.

Afraid to respond, Mohammad Zal turned back to her friends in silence.

She said she expected people to act like this, but in the moment she was terrified.

“I felt horrible,” she said later. “I just didn’t understand why people would treat someone like that just because they dress differently.”

Mohammad Zal, who came to the United States from Malaysia to go to college, said her hijab often attracts uncomfortable looks when she travels outside of Bloomington.

She said people are only uncomfortable with hijabs because they don’t understand them.

While Muslim women wear hijabs to show modesty and piety, every woman has her own reason for wearing a hijab, but Mohammad Zal said many people mistake these reasons for coercion.

She said this lack of understanding may have contributed to the European Union court decision earlier this month that allows companies to ban visible religious symbols like hijabs. The decision follows last year’s ban on burkinis by several mayors in southern France.

While hijabs only cover a woman’s hair, burkas are a long, loose garment which cover the whole body.

They are worn in public by many Muslim women.

A 2016 French study by Open Society Foundations, an international grantmaking network, found Muslim women wearing headscarves already had only a 1-percent return rate when applying for jobs. Also in 2016, the European Network Against Racism released a study indicating 44 percent of employers in Belgium said headscarves reduce chances of being accepted for a job.

Even in the U.S., IU junior Reem Alturki said she often worries when walking into interviews if her hijab or

her name will keep her from getting the job.

In her junior year of high school, Alturki chose her first hijab. It was lilac — her favorite color. From the first day she wore it, she said she received strange looks and ridiculous questions.

“They’d ask me the stupidest things, like, ‘Do you shower?’” she said.

Alturki said she still answers these questions because she wants people to understand.

She said she sees having these conversations as her responsibility to educate, and she sees wearing a hijab as her responsibility in normalizing headscarves and Islam in general.

Even if people try to prevent her from wearing her hijab, Alturki said there’s no point.

“Even if I take this off, I’m still a Muslim,” she said. “You can’t take

“People need to see hijabs and Islam as something normal if we want equal treatment. Making them seem like they are so different and strange just makes misconceptions stronger.”

Nurul Huda Mohammad Zal, IU junior

that away from me.”

Mohammad Zal said the court decision also infringes on Muslim women’s freedom of choice.

“We should have the right to choose what we want to wear and not be treated differently because of some clothes,” she said.

Mohammad Zal said this restriction of their right to choose is ironic because many people have the misconception that Muslim women have no choice in wearing hijabs, but this is not the case.

When Mohammad Zal began wearing a hijab at age 13, she did so because of tradition, but as she grew up, wearing a hijab became a decision she made entirely for herself.

“If we don’t want to wear it, we don’t,” she said.

Instead, Mohammad Zal said she chose to wear a hijab as a symbol of modesty and because it makes her

feel comfortable and protected.

“When I walk out with my hijab, I feel confident,” she said.

She also doesn’t have to worry about her hair, she said with a laugh.

IU alumna Katherine Barrus said she is reluctant to say her hijab makes her feel protected.

Instead, she said some people may threaten her safety just because she chooses to wear a hijab.

At times, Barrus has been yelled at in public. Once a man followed her in his truck before pulling up beside her and yelling.

Despite these threats, Barrus said she still chooses to wear a hijab, but she said people still falsely see hijabs as a symbol of oppression among Muslim women.

Barrus converted to Islam when she was 22 years old, so she said she understands hijabs as both an outsider and an insider. Barrus said she sees why others might have questions about hijabs. The problem lies in how they try to answer these questions.

“Instead of looking for the answers by talking to actual Muslims, people often look to the media or people who know nothing about Islam,” Barrus said. “And then that just feeds misconceptions.”

Mohammad Zal said one way to combat misconceptions is through education. Even with the man who demanded she leave the country at the College Mall, she doesn’t blame those who are uneducated about Islam and hijabs. She only wants to help them understand.

“But it’s hard to educate people because they may not be willing to be educated,” she said. “They may not want to listen.”

So Mohammad Zal said the best way to spread the truth about hijabs is through direct contact with Muslim people. If people see Muslims wearing hijabs as their neighbors, she said they will be less likely to be uncomfortable with the headscarves.

Efforts like the EU court ruling are counterproductive because they make a Muslim person out to be the “other” rather than a neighbor, she said.

“People need to see hijabs and Islam as something normal if we want equal treatment,” she said.

“Making them seem like they are so different and strange just makes misconceptions stronger.”

Although textbooks are useful, antique gaming equipment provide students with a key source to develop their understanding of gaming.

This is why the Herman B Wells Library will soon be adding a video game archive to its Media Services.

With the donation of professor of cinema and media studies Raiford Guins’ gaming artifacts, students will have the opportunity to check out video game magazines and video games, which they can play on various consoles in the library’s lower tower.

“Having that experience enriches their understanding of the past,” Guins said.

“It helps them to appreciate the different forms gaming has taken over four decades of consumer gameplay.”

This opportunity will come as part of Guins’ initiative to collect the items and create an archive that will enhance the learning and teaching of game design studies. Students will have direct access to primary sources that can be used to understand how gaming has changed over time.

More than 400 video games will be available for students with an IU student ID to check out and play on the consoles before the end of the semester.

Because the archive will have games students can play, it will give them the opportunity to experience games they didn’t grow up with and are no longer available on the mainstream market. These game consoles will provide firsthand experience with the games, while they are still functioning, he said.

“It’s not just me lecturing nonstop at them, but a chance where they can actually experience what we’re talking about,” he said.

IU prepares for upcoming Asian Heritage Month From IDS reports

IU is preparing for and anticipating the start of the Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month celebration, at the beginning of next week.

This year marks the 18th annual celebration, with the theme of “belonging,” according to an IU press release.

The month long celebration involves different activities and events, all highlighting the culture of Asian American and Pacifric Islander. Some of these include a film series, cultural performances, and a conference, according to the release. IU Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs James Wimbush said the itinerary of the celebration is a genuine reflection of how well-rounded and diverse the campus is.

A woman is in custody and her boyfriend is recovering from minor injuries after she allegedly assaulted him with a box cutter.

Jacqueline Watrous, 34, faces felony charges for domestic battery while armed with a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness while armed with a deadly weapon.

Police responded at about 11:25 p.m. Tuesday

to the apartment Watrous and her boyfriend share on the 800 block of East Miller Drive, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said.

The boyfriend, 36, had called police to complain Watrous had stabbed him several times.

Watrous answered the door for officers, Kellams said. Her boyfriend, visibly suffering from wounds to his torso and upper body, was behind her.

He was taken to Bloomington Hospital for treatment and later released.

His injuries were mostly superficial.

Watrous initially told police she’d fought back after her boyfriend tried to sexually assault her, Kellams said, but her story changed several times.

In the last version she gave, she made no mention of a sexual assault and said she and her boyfriend had gotten in a fight over him

refusing to drive her home earlier in the day.

The man told police they’d been fighting recently over a variety of things, Kellams said. Tuesday night, he got in bed after smoking a cigarette and she started attacking him, he said. He barricaded himself in the bathroom and called 911.

Watrous was arrested and taken to Monroe County Correctional Center.

“The breadth of activities occurring during this year’s Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month celebration is incredible,” James Wimbush, IU Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs

“The breadth of activities occurring during this year’s Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month celebration is incredible, and it illustrates the rich cultural traditions of the communities represented,” Wimbush said.

Woman arrested after allegedly stabbing boyfriend From IDS reports

Guins said students are already able to access many of the titles associated with well-known consoles through other media, such as their phone or computer, but the experience is not the same.

Guins said he believes the hardware games are played with is an important part of the video game playing experience. With the collection of these gaming systems, Guins will be able to give his students the opportunity to hold the game systems they discuss in their classes.

He said most undergrad students are used to playing games on an Xbox or a PlayStation that have the common dual analog controllers, not a single analog controller, or a joystick.

“You can understand the physical engagement of the games,” he said. “You can see what games from the ‘70s, the ‘80s, the ‘90s actually looked like when played through a console. You can come into physical contact with controllers you’ve never touched before.”

Guins said he is hopeful that the archive of more than 8,000 gaming magazines, which is currently in holding at the Ruth Lilly Auxiliary Library Facility, will be ready for students to use this fall.

The magazines will also help undergraduates get used to doing archival research, which they don’t normally practice, aside from their time spent on Wikipedia, Guins said.

Guins, who is a historian, said he hopes this archive will cultivate a culture that encourages undergraduates who are interested in historical research to gain the experience necessary to take on graduate level research.

“We’re not just playing old games,” Guins said.

“We’re having to travel to archives to retrieve materials from which to write an argument about the past.”

Polish scholar speaks at IU on anti-genderism

By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor

Agnieszka Graff is a professor at the University of Warsaw, a human rights activist, and an author. This week she is visiting IU to share her expertise with students and faculty at the University.

Graff participated in a panel focusing on antigenderism in Europe, which took place Wednesday in the Global and International Studies building and was sponsored by IU’s Polish Studies Center. The center is celebrating its 40th year on campus.

IU started the Polish Studies Center at IU in 1977, one year after it established the American Studies Center at the University of Warsaw. Polish Studies Center Director Joanna Nizynska said it was appropriate to have a leading voice in gender studies from the American Studies Center visit.

“It would be most fitting to invite a scholar from our sister institution,” Nizynska said. “Her work really cuts

through many disciplines and connects to many units on campus.”

IU professors Maria Bucur, Diana O’Brian and Claudia Breger and Nizynska also contributed to the discussion.

The anti-genderismrelated issues the panel discussed included feminist and LGBT issues.

Anti-genderism opposes one gender or gender definitions as a general rule.

Graff shared her experiences with anti-genderism in Poland among the panel and audience members.

In fall 2012 she was asked to speak at a church in Poland. Five minutes into the discussion, a group of young men entered the church with a poster that that said “Gender 666” and threw a smoke bomb. The church was evacuated.

“Oh my goodness, we’re entering a new state of dialogue,” Graff said, recalling the event.

Eastern European history and gender studies professor Bucur said anti-genderism is a Trojan horse of

patriarchy.

“Everybody wants to defend the family. The nuclear family that is the man and the woman,” Bucur said.

Political science professor O’Brian shared survey data with the group that indicated most Europeans are accepting of transgender people. Sixty-three percent of Europeans believe people should be able to change their travel documents to the gender they choose, she said.

“Western Europe leads the way thinking about transgender rights,” O’Brian said.

Countries like Ireland and Denmark allow citizens to determine their gender, and France and Belgium are considering adopting similar models, O’Brian said.

However, there is still work to be done as transgender people face disproportionate levels of employment and harassment, she said.

Sophomore Thorin Danielsen, who is studying Spanish linguistics, said he heard Graff speak in his Polish class and came to the panel to hear from an authority on

feminist issues.

He said he liked that her conversation was not accusatory and was open to a straight white man like him.

Danielsen said, because of

the discussion, he plans to research these issues further.

Luncheon honors female leaders, empowers women

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

A local luncheon honored trailblazing female leaders and encouraged the empowerment of women and girls.

The City of Bloomington Commission on the Status of Women presented the Women’s History Month Luncheon on Wednesday at the Bloomington-Monroe County Convention Center.

The event honored female leaders in labor and business in Monroe County. It also recognized the woman of the year, Judith DeMuth, who is the superintendent of the Monroe County Community School Corporation.

the number of women in leadership and administrative roles in MCCSC, lobbied for public education, and increased secretary salaries in schools.

She discussed her experience working in public education and thanked members of the community for their support of her leadership.

“I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with wonderful staff members everyday,” DeMuth said in her speech.

Retired AFL-CIO labor engagement director for United Way Worldwide Nancy McCormick was the keynote speaker for the event. She discussed her experience as a female leader within the organization and what it means to be a trailblazing woman.

As the labor engagement director, she worked with

labor agencies across the country to recruit, train and mobilize union volunteers to help United Way and other organizations.

She said it is important to mentor other women, empower and encourage young women, and decide not to settle for what society decides women should do.

“Don’t be afraid to step up and become a trailblazer,” McCormick said. “A women’s job is any one she wants to do.”

She said women should engage in the community and pass the torch of leadership to others.

“Use your imagination to become the women of your dreams,” she said as she finished her speech.

Mayor John Hamilton introduced DeMuth before she received the 2017 Women of the Year Award.

Hamilton also recognized the achievements of women in Monroe County and throughout the country, saying DeMuth has worked hard for equity and fairness within local schools.

“Women make things work,” he said. “Women work things out for their family, workplace, communities and country.”

She has a deep commitment to equality whether it is pushing for fair pay for secretaries in schools or encouraging STEM opportunities for girls, he said.

Debby Herbenick, the City of Bloomington Commission on the Status of Women chair, honored the life of Toby Strout at the luncheon. Strout, who served as executive director of Middle Way House for 30 years, died in February.

While the Asian Culture Center has spearheaded all the events in recognition of the month, other entities like the Asian American Studies Program, the Black Faculty and Staff Council, the Latino Faculty and Staff Council and the Mathers Museum of World Cultures, among many

others, have contributed as well.

The director of the Asian Culture Center, Melanie Castillo-Cullather, said the contributions of different campus departments have expanded the meaning of the event, as the celebration seeks to commemorate the work of Asian Americans throughout history.

“On a campus as large as IU-Bloomington, this may sound cliché, but it’s very true — it takes a village to really put together meaningful educational events,” CastilloCullather said. “We really encourage all students and the campus community to be part of the celebration, especially if they’ve never been to the ACC.”

“She worked tirelessly throughout her career to end violence against women and children and to help them find safety and a fresh beginning,” she said. “There is no doubt that she touched the lives of people here, of some of your friends, of some of your family and some of my friends.”

Strout was nominated for the commission’s Lifetime Contribution Award last year, but she decided not to accept the nomination because she was a chair on the award selection committee.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Scotland should wait on UK referendum This week the Nicola Sturgeon, the first minister of Scotland, announced to the world her plan to hold a referendum on the question of Scottish independence.

While it has been postponed due to the terror attack in London on March 22nd, this issue will undoubtedly return soon. This comes less than three years after having a referendum on the same question. In the first referendum in Sept. 2014, more than 55 percent of Scottish people voted to remain a part of the United Kingdom.

During the 2014 campaign both the government of the U.K. and the government of Scotland agreed to respect the outcome of the referendum and that this was a once-in-a-generation decision. However, less than three years later, the Scottish government seems determined to drag its people back into another divisive national debate over the question of independence.

The first minister’s reason for having another divisive national debate so soon after the last one is European Union.

The Scottish voters should not be led astray by Nicola Sturgeon and her Scottish Nationalist Party.

Last summer, the U.K. voted to leave the European Union by a narrow margin of with 52 percent voting for and 48 percent against.

The results in Scotland were much more decisive. Sixtytwo percent of Scots voted to stay in the EU, and every municipality in Scotland saw a vote in favor of staying in. Sturgeon argues that such a mandate to stay in the EU must be accounted for, and Scots should be given the choice to decide if they prefer to remain in the U.K. or in the EU because they cannot have both any longer.

The prime minister of the U.K., Theresa May, has threatened that the U.K. government at Westminster may veto the second referendum, as is in their power. May argues that autumn 2018 is not a fair time for Scots to decide because the U.K. will still be in negotiation with the EU over the terms of its departure.

The Scottish people will not

know all of the details of how U.K.-EU relations will look and therefore cannot make an educated decision about which group they would like to remain part of.

It is not even clear that an independent Scotland would be a member of the EU. In order to become a member state, all existing members must agree to any candidate’s membership.

The Spanish government has continually threatened to veto Scottish membership of the EU due to fears that it would motivate Catalan to vote to secede from Spain and become an independent country in the EU. Furthermore, Sturgeon’s economic case for independence is severely damaged since the last referendum.

The Scottish government argues that Scotland’s economy will suffer if it is forced to leave the EU single market.

However, having no barriers to trade with England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the other three nations in the U.K., is estimated to be worth four times more to the Scottish economy than being in the EU single market.

Furthermore, in 2014, the Scottish government’s economic plans were largely based on Scotland’s large oil resources in the North Sea; however, since then, oil prices have collapsed, and Scottish Nationalists have yet to explain how they will account for this loss of revenues in its budgets as an independent country.

Scottish voters must demand a second independence referendum not take place until they have had time to experience what their relationship with Europe will be like inside the U.K. after they have left the EU.

Our fees - not for stipends IUSA scholarships should be funded out of seperate budget Members of the United States Congress are not allowed to raise their own salaries in the same term as they hold a vote to do so. That way, any time a pay raise is scheduled, representatives have to face the voters before it takes place. The last time Congress raised its salary successfully was between 2008 and 2009, when automatic pay raises were removed.

By removing automatic pay raises, the United States Congeresses went a step further towards strong anticorruption measures, taking even more potential for abuse out of the system.

These sorts of measures are necessary for all organiztations vested with allocating a budget.

This is of course done to diminish the opportunities for self-dealing and corruption.

Although it might not be completely disingenuous for Congress to increase its own pay, it certainly looks shady. IUSA administrations on our campus need to realize that using student money for executive perks and scholarships is similarly questionable.

In the same spirit, the

Editorial Board would like to see the budget outlays for executive scholarships come from outside the IUSA budget. We cannot say it is necessarily corrupt to have the IUSA congress members providing executives scholarships, but it would work to reduce the appearance of impropriety if the money came from somewhere they do not control.

Currently, IUSA works with a $50 thousand annual budget payed for by student fees.This is used for all sorts of things to ostensibly make IU a better campus for students. Yes, that means that you are paying for everything IUSA does, including providing scholarships for executive candidates.

Each of the executive officeholders of IUSA receives a $3,000 scholarship for their time.

Since there are four executive offices – president, vice president of administration, vice president of congress and treasurer – IUSA’s budget provides $12,000 in scholarships from student funds.

Some, such as the Empower ticket, believe these scholarships allow

students who otherwise would not be able to participate in student government to take part, since the money can help subsidize their involvement if they would otherwise have to be working.There is a reasonable objection to this; students who are stretched to pay their own tuition and college expenses are funding the education of other students through their student fees. The Refund Supreme ticket, no disbanded, wanted to lwer student fees in part by doing away with these scholarships.

Additionally, others believe this is simply people in power abusing the system, using money from student fees to line their own pockets. The Editorial Board suggests that the money come from another source.

That way, executives and members of Congress are not in charge of their own scholarship amounts.

As stated above, it is not enough to avoid impropriety. IUSA must also avoid the appearance of impropriety to maintain organizational credibility and trust.

Whether the scholarships are self-dealing is irrelevant. To some on

campus, it appears that way, and that is enough to delegitimize student government in their eyes.

IUSA’s budget should be spent directly on campus.

It should all go toward the students.

Since they are the ones putting up the funds, they should be the ones to see direct benefits from them.

IUSA could partner independently with any of the numerous bodies on campus providing scholarships to students, or perhaps have executives declared employees of IU so they could receive a salary.

The student fee we pay for our government, however, should be used for campus spending.

Regardless of who wins the elections, this is a positive change the Editorial Board believes would help in uniting IU and fixing perceptions many on campus have about student government.

The editorial board believes this is a change we can all support.

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

SELON MOI

Youtube, do not censor LGBT videos

Do not push women into STEM

This is the second time within the past year that YouTube has come under fire for a new regulation to its platform.

Last week, YouTube added new restrictions to its restricted mode. Restricted mode is intended to function as a way for anyone younger than 18 or institutions to use YouTube without being met with explicit content.

Nobody wants to stumble upon a risqué music video while in middle school nor does any parent want their child to be able to view anything pornographic. I’m still a little baffled that any pornographic content passed YouTube’s video regulations to begin with, but it’s there.

The new wave of restrictions has created a backlash for YouTube, though. And it’s not a good one. I was initially offended and flabbergasted that LGBT content was being flagged as necessary for restriction, especially the videos that were innocent except for the fact that they were published by LGBT users.

As I began to do research

into the issue, I learned that YouTube has taken measures to apologize and confess that it had mistakenly flagged many videos to be restricted that were not meant to be.

YouTube claims that the systems do the flagging, but it is curious so many LGBT videos were flagged to begin with.

This is to be expected if they all contained explicit material or inappropriate language, but many did not.

While YouTube is working on training the systems to not automatically flag videos, the videos flagged as restricted are not able to make any money off of ads. To those of us who are viewers, this is not a big deal because we are not the ones who make a living off of making YouTube videos.

Not only are members of the LGBT community being restricted, but many channels that showcase video games have been restricted as well.

On the plus side of all of this, it does not seem that restricted mode is the default.

It can be turned on or off by

MIRANDA GARBACIAK is a junior in creative writing

the institution or parents who control the channel. This can still be tricky for children who are questioning their sexuality or identity and live in a household where this type of questioning is not tolerated. This is one of the big reasons why YouTube is reconsidering the filter for restricted videos.

I think it’s great that YouTube is apologizing and fixing this issue, but I wonder if it would have been done if artists and users did not lash out against the platform.

I want to give YouTube the benefit of the doubt and believe that it would have been realized sooner rather than later.

YouTube is becoming such an important resource for adolescents. I really hope YouTube keeps its promise and regulates the restricted mode better for those who have no choice but to view in restricted mode. mmgarbac@umail.iu.edu

The academic fields of science, technology, engineering and math are largely comprised of men. They are extremely male-dominated in both universities and the workforce, with women making up only 29 percent of the science and engineering workforce. Because of this, women in STEM are highly celebrated and sought after.

From a young age, women are now being encouraged to pursue careers in STEM, but sometimes the push to end sexism in the STEM field is harmful and sexist in its own way.

In an attempt to bring to light the need for women in STEM, these careers are often portrayed as more important and more valuable than careers that could be pursued from studying liberal arts. Instead of highlighting the fact that the fields are male-dominated and therefore need a female presence, proponents often make the fields out to be better in general. There are many women that do not want to

pursue a career in STEM. Women that want to pursue subjects in the humanities, business or art should not be shamed or made to feel like they are letting women down as a whole. To suggest that women have to follow a certain path for their careers to be meaningful is sexist itself, even if it disguises itself as a solution for institutionalized sexism. Even if the majority of women tend to pursue careers other than those in STEM, they are not any less important. These women are not succumbing to sexism, they are just pursuing their individual passions.

This is not to say that the situation as a whole should be ignored. What the American Association of University Women says is true; many women do not pursue careers in STEM due to inaccessibility and male domination. Specifically, women avoid math and science due to the stereotype that they are bad at it. These stereotypes can lead to poor academic performance as well.

EMMA GETZ is a freshman in history.

While most people will deny that this stereotype is true, systematic sexism leads to implicit bias. According to research done by Project Implicit at Harvard, 70 percent of people make the implicit association between men and science-related fields.

There needs to be a medium between doing nothing and making women in STEM out to be inherently better and more “feminist” than those who choose other fields. This can be done by praising successful women in all fields of work, whether it be science, literature or art.

It is also necessary to continue trying to unlearn implicit stereotypes about gender and academic aptitude. No matter what, women should be able to choose to study anything they want without shame or fear that they are letting down their own gender. emmagetz@umail.iu.edu

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

IU takes on SMU at home in WNIT round of 16

By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer

As IU enters its third game of the Women’s National Invitiation Tournament, new contributors have emerged for the Hoosiers at what could be just the right time.

When IU welcomes SMU to Bloomington for a 7 p.m. tipoff Thursday night, it will be the 33rd game of the season for the Hoosiers. For a team that gets more than 75 percent of its scoring from starters, any bench player who can be productive becomes more important as the season wears on.

With four forwards that stand six-foot-two or taller, SMU’s height will likely require IU Coach Teri Moren to use a pair of reserve forwards, freshman Darby Foresman and sophomore Kym Royster, more than usual. Both have seen a fair amount of action in the past few games, and Royster in particular has taken advantage of her postseason playing time.

Through the first two games of the WNIT, which saw IU take down Ball State and Saint Louis, Royster has scored 10 points, gathered nine rebounds and committed just two fouls in 27 minutes of play.

“It gives me a lot of confidence, especially coming out of a slump toward the end

of the season,” Royster said.

“Playing with the upperclassmen and people that have been around, that helps with my confidence.”

SMU brings a 19-14 record into the matchup with IU, which is 22-10. If SMU is to win Thursday’s game, it will likely do so by relying on its defense. The Mustangs score 16 points per game fewer than the Hoosiers, so IU’s season average of 75.8 points per game gives the Hoosiers an edge if the game turns into a shootout.

The Mustangs will seek to prevent the Hoosiers from getting anywhere near 75 points by using their elite rim protection. SMU has the 12thmost blocks among NCAA teams this season, with four different Mustangs averaging more than a block per game.

SMU has 185 rejections so far this year, while IU has just 86 blocks and not a single player who averages one per game.

A battle of star junior forwards could decide Thursday’s game because IU’s Amanda Cahill and SMU’s Alicia Froling will face off in the paint. Cahill averages 15.1 points and nine rebounds per game, while Froling leads the Mustangs with 14.2 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Moren said although it will be important for Cahill to defend Froling well, it will be far more important to keep Cahill out of

IU (22-10) vs. SMU (19-14) 7 p.m. tonight, Assembly Hall foul trouble.

Defensively, Moren said she doesn’t plan to change anything despite the fact that SMU also has two centers that have several inches on IU’s senior center Jenn Anderson.

“We won’t adjust to them,” Moren said. “We’re going to stay with what we’ve been doing and how we’ve been playing. I feel, again, really comfortable about the scouting report or the prep that we’ve done.”

Though the Hoosiers aren’t in the NCAA Tournament like they were last season, Moren pointed out her team has still advanced further into the postseason this year than last, when it bowed out in the second round of last season’s NCAA Tournament.

Moren’s team has gotten where it is by staying true to itself, and she said the opponent will never change the styles of her team. With such a high-scoring bunch, it’s clear what that style will be for IU on Thursday night.

“Obviously we want to play fast, so we’re going to try to dictate that as much as we can as far as our tempo and our pace,” Moren said. “If it’s BOBBY GODDIN | IDS a slow pace, that doesn’t bode Sophomore forward Kym Royster plays in the post against Saint Louis on Sunday in Simon Skjodt Assembly well for us.”

Hall. Royster had four points and three rebounds in the win and could see even more time Thursday night.

MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

Freshman runner delivers impressive indoor season

By Austin Ghirardelli aghirard@imail.iu.edu | @a_ghirardelli

IU track and field coach Ron Helmer said the grind of the 2016-17 indoor season went a long way in showing what type of competitor freshman runner Kyle Mau truly was.

After Mau took a season to redshirt in 2015-16, Helmer was eager to see how the Hudson, Ohio, native would develop on and off the track in his first season of competition.

Mau showcased just how much he has developed in the past year by proving to be one of Helmer’s top performers all season long. He concluded his outstanding indoor season by earning the Big Ten Freshman of the Year award last week.

“As a coach, you never know how people are going to respond when you put them in difficult situations,” Helmer said. “We put him in those kind of situations all year long, and he showed us early on at the dual meets that he

intended to win races.”

Mau’s first difficult task of the season was his collegiate indoor debut in which he won the 3,000-meter run at the Hoosier Open in the fall. Mau then started off 2017 red hot by securing victories in each of the early dual meets against Tennessee and Purdue.

Mau won both the mile and 3K in the first headto-head meet with the Volunteers. The next week he improved his mile time by roughly six seconds and beat rival Purdue with a time of 4:02.83 before helping IU claim the top spot in the 4x800-meter relay.

“This guy has a knack for putting everything out of his mind and competing hard,” Helmer said. “He would win races the hard way by doing anything he needed to do to ensure good things happen, and so the legend of Kyle Mau began to grow.”

Mau’s toughness while competing is a trait Helmer said he noticed dating back to Mau’s recruiting days. Helmer said Mau’s mile time of 4:10 in

high school impressed him.

“What we heard about him from people in Ohio that he competed against was that he raced really tough,” Helmer said. “They said he would run above his fitness level as often as he could even if it put him in significant trouble. He was willing to do that.”

Helmer said his coaching staff sensed that was the case as Mau struggled to stay healthy in the 2015-16 season when attempting to train consistently. Helmer added Mau had never trained heavily in high school, which caused him to break down from time to time.

Mau agreed with his coach and said together they decided to redshirt him his freshman year to get a full year of training in.

“As a freshman, I don’t think I was ready to contribute enough, and coach thought it was more beneficial to get that year of training under my belt,” Mau said. “I really think that year helped out a lot.”

Taking a year off to train

made sense for Mau, who said he didn’t begin to take the sport seriously until after a conversation he had with his high school cross-country coach. Early in high school, he was more interested in tennis, but Mau was persuaded to run track in the spring instead.

Mau went on to have a successful high school running career and said high school was a big lesson for him because he learned how to race.

“I felt like I improved a lot over my four years,” Mau said.

“It was night and day almost going from being a freshman and not knowing how to race to being a senior and having poise while running.”

During his senior season, Mau committed to Indiana after receiving offers from Akron, Iowa State and North Carolina. Mau said IU fit him both with running and academics.

Helmer also said he thought Bloomington was the right place for Mau. “I remember thinking that

even if this kid never ends up running fast, I’m still going to enjoy having him around,” Helmer said.

For Helmer, those doubts are now well in the past as Mau has proven himself to be one of the most consistent runners on his team. As a redshirt freshman, he won a total of eight races throughout the indoor season.

Mau hit a mid-season hot streak after setting a personal record in the 3K at the Gladstein Invitational in Bloomington in late January with a time of 8:07.88. Mau followed that performance by winning the mile at the Meyo Invitational with a PR of 4:00.37.

He finished third in the mile at the conference meet and became a Big Ten champion in the distance medley relay.

The DMR win was one of the many quality performances that led to IU winning the team Big Ten title.

Mau said winning the Big Ten Championship was the most exciting part of the season.

“It was awesome to see

everyone on the team be so invested in their teammates’ performances,” Mau said. “It was like we were building off each other one event after another.”

Two weeks later he became an All-American in the NCAA Championships by placing fifth in the distance medley relay.

Helmer said he is extremely proud of the season Mau had and called the freshman was a special talent. He also added it was a pleasant surprise to see him grow this season.

“It’s not that we didn’t expect this kind of development from him over time,” Helmer said. “It just doesn’t typically happen that fast.”

Mau’s historic freshman season is in the past to him now, as he said he’s focused on the outdoor season that begins soon and improving as a runner.

“I’m still in the process of figuring out outdoor season,” Mau said. “Eventually I’d like to replicate what I did in indoor.”

BASKETBALL

IU booster Bart Kaufman says firing of Crean was justifiable

By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @the_huss_network

Bart Kaufman, CEO of Kaufman Financial Group, is a longtime donor for IU Athletics and was one of many boosters who grew restless with the recent direction of the IU basketball program.

He contributed a significant gift to the IU baseball program in 2012 and was honored by IU Athletics adding his name to the brand new Bart Kaufman Field.

Harboring no animosity toward former IU Coach Tom Crean, Kaufman said he respects the type of man Crean is but thought it was time for a change to be made.

“But clearly from the standpoint of being enough time, I think nine years was a fair test,” Kaufman said.

“I think the biggest concern that I had was — as any other fans — was the inconsistencies in his program where he was not able to maintain sustained excellence.”

He said he was disappointed that none of the top

recruits from the state of Indiana chose to sign with IU. Most notably in the 2017 class, Crean lost out on top talents Kris Wilkes and Paul Scruggs, both of whom grew up in Indiana but will leave the state to play college ball at UCLA and Xavier, respectively. Kaufman characterized the program as being on a downslope compared to other schools.

“Clearly, when they lose like they did this year — yeah, I’m disappointed,” Kaufman said. “My concern was the kids didn’t seem to get any better, and he didn’t have kids coming in.”

Kaufman said he believes no one was pressuring Glass to make the decision but did say there was a growing sense of apathy among the biggest program donors.

“I think Fred made the decision based on his analysis that they weren’t going anywhere and his job was to do a good job for the athletic department and the University,” Glass said. “But donor pressure in this situation at IU is silly to me. I don’t know anybody that says, ‘I’m not giving money to the law school because your basketball team sucks.’”

Kaufman said this coaching hire will affect the legacy of Glass and emphasized how important the decision was.

“Fred gets paid big bucks because he has a very big job,” Kaufman said. “This is his last big hire, and he wants to get it right. He’s very dedicated and very loyal to IU.” One area that concerned Kaufman was the hiring of the Parker Search Firm to assist Glass. He was wary of the group having a say in the hiring because he said it has zero connection to IU and does not have to be loyal to the University.

Kaufman said he urges IU to talk with former players, such as Quinn Buckner, who is a trustee of the University; Isiah Thomas; Mike Woodson; and others to help make the decision because of their basketball knowledge and ties to the program.

While Kaufman was disappointed in the direction of the program under Crean, he said he believes in Glass’ ability to hire the right coach.

“This is Fred’s moment to shine,” Kaufman said.

things like ’The Friday Zone.’

You never think about how much these shows affect you when you are older, and it is sad to think about how we are not going to be able to reach as many people or educate as many kids as we can now.”

If the budget passes, Molnar said stations would survive, but a substantial cut would jeopardize the programs and services provided.

“The cut translates to WFIU and WTIU with a loss of $1.3 million of our overall funding,” WFIU station operations director John Bailey said.

Bailey said a possible issue the stations could run into include a lack of stability in the funding from IU, which is more than a third of the station’s budget. But there are stations nationwide that rely mostly on government funding.

“We are also worried about all of the public stations that rely way more heavily on federal funding that may be in communities that do not have as much listener support like we do,” Bailey said.

There are many local stations all across the United States that would be affected by these budget cuts and that lack in viewers and listeners.

“With less revenue flow, these stations might go under, which means that NPR and PBS might have to make cuts themselves, which could end up with only a few public broadcasting survivors and huge gaps across the country where there is no public radio or TV,” Bailey said.

The station has been trying to find its strongest message points to explain to people why it matters in hopes that the station will survive the new budget.

“This is the most serious threat to public broadcast in over 20 years,” Bailey said.

“We are sending our listeners and viewers to ‘Protect My Public Media’ to sign a petition to tell their congress representatives that public broadcasting is worthwhile to them.”

House took with consent amendments to the bill.

One added the topic of selfgeneration by public school corporations to be considered for interim study.

Another adjusted the grandfathering deadline for Hoosiers in the process of installing solar power from July 1 to Dec. 31. The grandfathering provision allows those who install solar technology on their property by the deadline to continue receiving financial credit at the current rate of approximately 11 cents per kilowatt hour instead of the reduced rate of about 3.5 cents SB 309 would establish.

A second part of the amendment aims to protect homeowners by including their solar investments as part of their property value should they decide to sell their house.

About 60 people signed up to testify Wednesday.

They represented several regions of the state, from as far as Elkhart, Milltown and Fort Wayne. Because of the number of people waiting to testify, the legislature’s lunch break was cancelled.

Mark Maassel, president of the Indiana Energy Association, which includes among its members energy companies such as Vectran and Duke, testified first.

Maassel said the IEA was not satisfied with some of the “restrictive” language in the bill but urged the House to vote for it regardless.

“We look at this bill as compromised,” Maassel said. “It’s not perfect, but we view it as an important step forward as we evolve our policy. This bill sets out the process for transitioning away from subsidies. If we are talking about economics, and we are, net metering is a subsidy.”

Former United States Rep. Barry Goldwater Jr., R-California, rose to testify not explicitly for or against the bill but to ask the House to consider what exactly defines a subsidy. He

compared using solar power to using energy-efficient appliances and said the draw to use less money in both situations functions more as an incentive than a subsidy.

“Utilities have something we call renewable electric standards,” Goldwater said. “Net metering is part of that standard. If I buy energy efficient-appliances, I’m buying less electricity. Is that a subsidy or an incentive? I think it’s an incentive.”

As Goldwater closed his testimony, those observing from the gallery applauded for the first time.

Republican Brian Dickerson, a city council member from Elkhart, said he agreed with the intent of the bill. He said he believed his constituents should be allowed to invest in renewable energy sources and noted a Mennonite congregation in his community was installing a solar panel on the top of its church.

Still, he said he was concerned by the idea of nonsolar users paying for solar users.

“If any Hoosier wants to invest in these things, they should have to pay for it themselves,” Dickerson said.

Eric Hesher owns Renewable Energy Systems, a business he started out of his garage that designs, installs and services systems of renewable energy in the Midwest. He said solar allows Indiana businesses to be more competitive and expressed concern for the customers SB 309 might affect.

“Many of our customers are hardworking people who want to invest in their future,” Hesher said. “Solar systems allow people considering retirement to stay in their homes due to a reduced energy cost.”

Hesher said the solar panels his business provides about 50 to 60 percent of the energy his customers need. He added the panels often do generate excess energy but said that occurs at specific times of year or specific times of day, such

as between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Allyson Mitchell said she was also concerned about the effect the bill would have on low-income people. Mitchell works as director of sustainability for Prosperity Indiana and said she knows solar power directly benefits low-income individuals.

“When picturing rooftop solar, you may not picture a panel on a mobile home,” Mitchell said.

“This bill limits the options of low-income people to choose their energy generation.”

Mitchell said some clients of Prosperity Indiana rely on solar energy to be able to afford energy at a time when energy prices have been increasing across the state. It remains unclear the extent to which traditional power users pay for those using solar power if they pay any extra costs at all. Maassel said the number of wind and solar rooftop generators in the state only numbers around 1,100, which means net metering charges people a cent per month on their utility bills — if that.

Many of those who testified argued there was not enough “data-driven” information propelling the bill forward and criticized legislators who compared Indiana’s solar industry to states like Nevada and Arizona. Critics said those states were environmentally not similar enough to Indiana to provide data relevant to SB 309.

Although he did not explicitly support or oppose the bill, Goldwater told the legislature that issues regarding renewable energy are only beginning with solar. More changes should be expected, he said.

“Instead of sitting here fighting rooftop solar, this issue, why not be out in front?” Goldwater said.

“The utilities are fighting because they fear competition. Solar energy is only one of the new technologies coming down the pipe.

The American people love renewable energy.”

Sakbun refused to use the terms “best policymakers” or “most inclusive,” because at the end of the day many IU students are either not informed enough about student government’s role or had no idea it existed.

“So to say we have found a ticket in only 3 months that fully represents every student is an injustice to those who have never heard of IUSA,” Sakbun said.

Empower’s presidential candidate, junior Dan Niersbach, spoke with the IDS while campaigning outside the IU Auditorium.

He said despite his initial displeasure with the new debate structure, where only one student per ticket spoke during each part of the discussion, it ended up an amicable format for him.

He thought the questions were fair and he found the answers insightful.

Lloyd is now 2-0 with a save and a 2.25 ERA in his four pitching appearances. Lemonis said in addition to playing the field and being in the lineup, Lloyd will continue to be the go-to guy late in games for the foreseeable future.

IU returns to the field Friday in Evanston, Illinois, where the Hoosiers will take on the Northwestern Wildcats.

“You got to hear not only policies of people running for IUSA but the opinions that the people on the ticket hold,” Niersbach said. “And so I think that was a really cool parallel l, something you don’t hear enough of.”

Psych Up’s presidential candidate, sophomore Jake McWilliams, said in an email he was also happy with how the debate went.

“We feel confident entering the election,” McWilliams said. “Our platform succeeded in distinguishing ourselves from the other tickets and as a result we have been overwhelmed with the support for Psych Up!” In an emailed statement to the IDS, IGNITE’s presidential candidate, sophomore Will McKinney, said Tuesday’s debate gave each ticket a chance to share their views on the future of IU. “The debate displayed sportsmanship worthy of the spirit of IU, a trend We (sic.) on the IGNITE campaign have been thankful for during the entirety of election season,” McKinney said.

(DIS)ABILITY ON TV In honor of Disability Awareness Month, we took a look at some popular shows that feature individuals with disabilities to see if they’re accurate portrayals or a downright disgrace.

Complete inclusion and accurate portrayal

Pretty good

Heading in the right direction

Not great

Yikes!

“Speechless” JJ DiMeo, played by Micah Fowler, a teenager with cerebral palsy, has the same neurological condition as the actor who plays him in the ABC show. In “Speechless,” DiMeo has underdeveloped muscles and is nonverbal. In the show, he uses his full-time aid to participate in all high school has to offer him, from joining the school choir to flirting with girls. This show is really the embodiment of how individuals with disabilities should be portrayed in the media – complete inclusiveness no matter where the show’s story lines take him.

Where to watch it: ABC, Hulu

“BornThis Way” This reality TV show follows seven adults with Down syndrome as they experience life from working to exploring romantic relationships.

Down syndrome is a congenital condition causing intellectual impairment and physical abnormalities, but they don’t let that stop them. The show won an Emmy in 2016 for Outstanding Unstructured Reality program.

Where to watch it: A&E, Amazon Video

“Parenthood” Max Braverman, played by Max Burkholder, has difficulty understanding why he is “different” until his parents explain he has Asperger’s syndrome, a condition characterized by difficulties in communication and repetitive behaviors.

Burkholder does not have Asperger’s in real life but was coached by behavior specialists who specialize in the condition.

Where to watch it: NBC, Netflix

“Breaking Bad” Actor R.J. Mitte plays Walter Jr., the son of meth-maker and former science teacher Walter White. Mitte has cerebral palsy on and off the set, but he actually made his disability appear more severe while on camera. In fact, the show’s creator was worried Mitte was “too able-bodied” for the role, but he was cast due to his impeccable acting.

Where to watch it: Netflix, Amazon

“Glee” While “Glee” depicts a diverse cast, the role of Artie, played by Kevin McHale, does not do the disabled community justice. Not only did the show cast an able-bodied actor to play the character who uses a wheelchair, but the representation is just downright sad. There are multiple episodes over the show’s six-year run that depict Artie as upset that he isn’t able to do a lot of the activities that people who can walk can. Tsk, tsk, FOX.

L

ately, the TV industry is pushing for more diverse shows and casts. But what may come as a surprise is that the industry has been limiting a prominent and growing population — individuals with disabilities — who make up about 15 percent of the world’s population, according to the World Health Organization’s current statistics on disabilities.

Individuals with disabilities and the actors who portray them in the media have come a long way throughout the course of history. From Lennie in “Of Mice and Men” to Forrest in “Forrest Gump,” television and movies often portray characters with disabilities as dumb and limited — incapable of living a fulfilled life as able-bodied people are.

The same goes for television of the past. Shows portrayed people with disabilities as dependent, unable to adjust and contribute fully to society. The ratification of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibits discrimination and ensures equal opportunity for them to work, created a shift in understanding and how to portray people with disabilities on television – but the improvements only went so far.

Last summer, the Ruderman Family Foundation, which advocates for inclusion of people with disabilites in the media, found that the population is still incredibly underrepresented in television.

Those disabled roles that exist are mostly played by actors without any disability at all. In fact, after investigating the top 10 television shows in 2015 and 2016 and the top 21 shows on streaming platforms, the study found 95 percent of the characters with disabilities were played by ablebodied actors.

Probably one of the most well-known shows from a few years back that illustrates this finding is “Glee.” Artie Abrams is played by Kevin McHale, an able-bodied actor. The show regularly focuses on Artie’s disability as being a terrible detriment and included episodes discussing how he feels confined to his wheelchair.

One Christmas episode shows a cheerleader, Brittany, asking Santa for Artie to have the ability to walk again, but she is disappointed to find out that even some miracles are out of Santa’s reach.

In another episode, Artie wishes he could dance with the rest of his friends, so he dreams someone will “cure” him so he can join in on the fun. “Glee” is known for having a quirky and diverse cast, but the show focuses much more on Artie’s disability than his abilities and personality and ultimately portrayed him as depressed and limited.

Two shows that moved toward accurate portrayal and inclusion were “Parenthood” and “Breaking Bad.” “Parenthood” followed the Braverman family and their adjustment to learning that their son, Max, had Asperger’s syndrome, known as Autism Spectrum Disorder today. Although the actor playing Max, Max Burkholder, did not have ASD, he spent a great deal of time researching, speaking with activists and even getting

involved with the advocacy organization Autism Speaks to get a better grasp of what it means to have ASD. Burkholder worked with professionals who specialize in ASD, and he also consulted with director Jason Katims, whose son is autistic. “Parenthood” may have used an able-bodied actor to portray a person with disabilities, but at least they did the research to ensure his acting was as closest to real life as possible.

“Breaking Bad” took a step in the right direction by casting R.J. Mitte to play Walt Jr., the son of criminal Walter White. While Mitte has cerebral palsy in real life, he said in an interview with “The Daily Mail” that he had to pretend his disability was more severe by using crutches and using less verbal ability than he has in reality. Although his character had some physical limitations, Walt Jr. doesn’t let that stop him from being a normal teenager, whether it be begging his dad to teach him how to drive or giving him attitude for his terrible cooking.

While Mitte’s role was rather small, “Breaking Bad’s” portrayal paved the way for shows using actors with disabilities in larger roles. “Born This Way” is a reality TV show that follows seven young adults with Down syndrome through finding love, jobs and friendships. This show gives an honest and non-biased look at how people with Down syndrome see the world and adjust to society.

One episode follows a woman as she tells her family she wants to get married and have kids one day, and another focuses on a man as he pursues his rap career by recording an album. The show also includes interviews with each of the individuals and their family members so the viewers can get a real grasp on what their lives are really like. The show very much focuses on their disability and how it affects their daily lives, but it is a true and accurate portrayal overall.

Last but not least, “Speechless” is the true embodiment of the future of actors with disabilities on television. JJ DiMeo, played by Micah Fowler, has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, but he does not let that get in his way of all that adolescence has to offer him. While his character is nonverbal and uses a laser pointer to communicate with others, Fowler does have more verbal abilities in real life. Despite that, “Speechless” illustrates a much larger goal that all individuals with disabilities aim to accomplish — to be completely accepted and included with the rest of the able-bodied community.

DiMeo is one of the main characters alongside the rest of his family, but the focus is never solely on his disability. With the help of his one-on-one aid, DiMeo plays board games, attends choir practice and even has secret handshakes with each of his friends and teachers at school. “Speechless” has already made great strides in accurately portraying people with disabilities. It is the type of show that will hopefully set the framework for future shows that will include the ever-growing population of those with disabilities.

“Beauty and the Beast” smashed box office records last weekend.

Disney hit proves truly timeless ‘BEAUTY AND THE BEAST’ Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans ILLUSTRATION BY LANIE MARESH | IDS

Rating for posterity Netflix thumbs-ups show change in streaming practice If you’ve ever spent an evening skimming Netflix without deciding on a movie to watch, you’ve probably thought to yourself, “There is nothing good on Netflix.”

And there isn’t, or at least it appears that way after you’ve passed up dozens of C-list horror flicks and crummy crime dramas before deciding to try your luck in Hulu’s anime catalog. With the overwhelming number of options available in today’s streaming environment, sometimes it can be hard to find the good stuff.

With this struggle in mind, Netflix is attempting to help users decide what they want to watch more easily. In April, Netflix will adopt a new ratings system, in which the current fivestar scale will make way for a thumbs-up-thumbs-down system.

On the surface, the new scale might seem like a less precise way to measure what viewers like. Up and down are binary ratings, while five stars can measure one’s enjoyment with greater accuracy. The logistics explain themselves: five options can account for a greater range of enjoyment than two. To reduce something to a binary opinion is to remove the nuance inherent to a five-star system, the skeptic would argue.

However, a thumb up or down is simpler, said Netflix vice president of Product Innovation Todd Yellin in a press briefing, and thus leads to more ratings than the five-star scale. More ratings mean more data and better recommendations from Netflix search algorithms, even if the data driving the algorithms is less granular. But while obtaining more user data might be the factor driving the decision, it’s not the most interesting tidbit to come from the release.

Apparently, when presented with a five-star system, people tend to rate Netflix programs for the rest of the global Netflix audience rather than for themselves.

That means a majority of ratings aren’t personal opinion.

Rather, they’re performative, objective evaluations. The switch to a thumbs up-down system aims to make it implicit that ratings are meant to improve your own Netflix experience rather than others’.

That said, it’s hard to believe that the star rating encourages our inner armchair critic. Plenty of Netflix ratings buck the critical consensus. “NCIS” currently has a rating slightly greater than four stars, and by most people’s accounts, it sucks. Indie drama “Blue Is the Warmest Color” should probably sit

close to five stars, because it originally drew masses of critical attention and maintains a Rotten Tomatoes 91 percent fresh rating. According to Netflix, it’s worthy of three stars and is thus slightly less of an artistic achievement than “Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny,” which has four stars and a scene in which Jack Black does pushups with his penis.

Takes from prominent media outlets seem to either support Netflix’s ratings change because it removes an unintuitive feature from the user interface or condemn it for reducing critical opinion to a simple binary.

Though they have opposing views, neither really considers the shortcomings and strengths of Netflix’s current ratings system to make a case. Instead, opinions on the value of this change have tended to look five or ten years down the line at not just the future of streaming, but the future of pop criticism. I’ve done the same, and I’ve seen two possible outcomes.

The first option is with the glut of entertainment available on streaming services, critical guidance— be it from other users or professional critics— will become as essential as TV Guide was in the 1980s to steer us through all the available choices. In this future,

Netflix’s rating system will naturally carry more weight than it does now. Because we will need someone else to tell us what’s good, a fivestar rating where we rate less for ourselves and more for each other makes sense.

The second option takes into account that Netflix’s algorithms are so advanced that they can recommend us almost exactly what we want, and we will be able to stream nearly anything for a single low, monthly subscription fee.

We won’t ever need human guidance. With virtually no monetary cost associated with watching something, little consequence for sampling whatever we wish and a good algorithm steering us, we can all be our own critics rather than each other’s. The only audience we need review for is ourselves and our algorithm. A personal thumb up or thumb down makes sense in this future.

You might want to believe in the first. Netflix probably believes in the second. As long as I can choose to watch “Blue is the Warmest Color” and “Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny,” I’ll give both systems a thumbs up for now.

A When I was growing up, there were two fictional female characters I admired above all others — Hermione Granger from the “Harry Potter” series and Belle from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.”

Hermione and Belle taught me to be strongwilled and intelligent and never to think twice about having my nose in a book.

They were two empowering influences on my childhood. So you can imagine my happiness this past weekend, when I saw the two characters combine into one as Emma Watson played Belle in Disney’s new live-action adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast.” Going into the theater, I felt like a little girl again and was absolutely giddy with excitement.

I was sure the movie would not disappoint, but I was happily surprised to find out that it did much more than entertain me — it made me fall in love with the fairy tale all over again.

From the beginning scene, the remake moves majestically through the beloved Disney plot and expands on storylines in order to answer questions while staying true to the thematic elements of the animated classic.

The technological advances did nothing to take away from the original but made everything slightly more alive, whether it be the glimmer in Belle’s yellow ballroom dress or the velvet mortality of the Beast’s rose.

For a little more than two hours, I was transported into every scene, from the Beast’s enchanted castle to Belle’s quaint and unfulfilling village. Every time the beginning notes of a song began, nostalgia blended with newness to create a truly magical experience.

The strongest part of the film, for me, was the accuracy in casting. Not only was Watson a believable and lovable Belle, but the entire cast was so spoton that there was really no standout star.

Luke Evans at once attracted you and made you roll your eyes in disgust at Gaston, Emma Thompson’s wisdom and sweetness shone through in Mrs. Potts, and Kevin Kline made your heart simultaneously ache and swell as Belle’s father, Maurice.

The chemistry between Watson and the Beast, played by Dan Stevens, was tender and pure as dislike evolved into companionship, and companionship into affection in a way that revealed the transformative powers of true love. Even though his character was created via motion-capture, the layers of CGI did little to mask Stevens’ charisma.

As a young girl, I was captivated by the original “Beauty and the Beast.”

Now, as a young woman, I was captivated by the remake.

The tale is old as time, and the song is as old as rhyme, but the brilliance of the live-action movie will have you feeling as if you’re seeing it all for the first time through the eyes of an enraptured child.

Creativity may be missing link for would-be writers Growing up, I always wanted to be a writer. I pictured myself as a famous author of fiction, maybe even as famous as J.K. Rowling or Stephen King.

However, as much as I wanted that when I was younger, I knew it wasn’t plausible. Instead, I turned my attention to journalism and put those aspirations on the back burner.

I still tried to write, although as school picked up it became more difficult. I began to think about how anyone kept at creative writing, and why so many people stop.

Of course, the obvious answer is a lack of time and motivation, like me. Another answer might be a decrease in creativity.

According to a Newsweek article titled “The Creativity Crisis,” creativity scores in the United States are declining. The report states it could be due to the fact that children spend more time watching television or playing video games.

It also could be linked to the fact that there is a lack of creative development in schools.

The article goes on to speculate whether or not creativity is something that can be taught. According to the article, training the brain to shift between divergent thinking, generating many ideas, and convergent thinking, combining those ideas into the best result, can result in increased creativity.

“University of New Mexico neuroscientist Rex Jung has concluded that those who diligently practice creative activities learn to recruit their brains’ creative networks quicker and better,” Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman said in the article. “A lifetime of consistent

Katie Chrisco is a junior in journalism.

habits gradually changes the neurological pattern.”

Certainly, there is more than one reason why people give up on writing. A general decline in reading might also contribute to people’s unwillingness to continue writing.

According to a Washington Post article on the topic, 43 percent of adults read a work of fiction in 2015. This is the lowest the reading rate has been in three decades.

I was always told that reading helps improve writing. It seems as though this causation would also suggest that if people aren’t reading, they likely aren’t writing either. Also, bringing back the point of decreasing creativity, children will not be likely to write creatively if they feel less creative overall.

While I have already discussed the lack of reading in a previous column, a lack of writing is just as important.

Without new generations of writers, the decline in reading will only continue.

That’s why I will keep reading, even if it’s only for my enjoyment. My work will likely never see the light of day, and I won’t always find the time to write, but I plan to keep at it.

I’m not the only one who will continue this habit. As reading becomes more of a niche hobby in today’s society, I am optimistic that there will always be an opportunity for writers to express themselves.

Maybe schools will find a way to foster creativity in children. Maybe the written word will somehow not become obsolete. No matter what, I plan to keep writing. kchrisco@ius.edu

Jenny McComas, class of 1949 and curator of European and American art at the Eskenazi Museum of Art, talks about post-war West German abstract paintings. “The Politics of Abstract Painting in Postwar Germany” was the second presentation during the museum’s Noon Talk series. The next event will take place at 12:15 p.m. March 29 in the Eskenazi Museum of Art.

Curator explains post-war art

By Noelle Snider nmsnider@indiana.edu @snider_noelle

The Eskenazi Museum of Art’s Jenny McComasspoke on Wednesday with Bloomington guests about modern art and post-war Germany as part of the museum’s latest Noon Talk.

McComas, curator of European and American Art, focused on the art of West Germany and its recovery after World War II. “There was a feeling among the Allies that an anti-modern art attitude went hand in hand with holding onto ideas about fascism and to maintain racist, anti Semitic attitudes,” McComas said.

McComas said that in the time of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler disliked modern art. Hitler was an artist who painted in a traditional style.

His hatred set the tone for how art could be discussed in the time of the Third Reich.

“Hitler and those who handled the Nazi party’s

propaganda described modern art as a disease that was infecting Germany and that Germany had to be cleansed of,” McComas said.

McComas said one of the reasons the Nazi party vilified German expressionism was the number of Jewish collectors and art dealers during the 1920s in the Weimar Republic. Hitler wanted to separate himself from them as much as possible.

During the 1920s, modern artists only had a few options, McComas said. The first was to emigrate, and the other was to stay in Germany.

However, if the artist stayed in Germany they would have to switch styles or paint in private.

“These artists who stayed in Germany and chose to paint in a modern style in secret were often referred to as inner-emigration or innerexile,” McComas said.

McComas said the first anti-modern art movement happened in 1933, the same year Hitler came to power

in Germany. Most modern art professors at German art academies or curators that had acquired modern art were fired and replaced with Nazi party members.

“Modern art started to be showed in propaganda exhibitions that were called ‘exhibitions of shame,’” McComas said. “They were displayed in such a way with labels and propaganda slogans that were meant to convey the message to the audience that this art was un-German and opposed to Nazi ideology in all respects.”

McComas said this shame for modern art began in 1937 with the Degenerate Art Exhibition. The exhibition took place in Munich with about 600 works that had been removed from state-supported art museums in Germany.

This changed after the war when the Federal Republic used modern art as a political tool.

McComas finished her talk by discussing three specific artists in the exhibition:

Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Fritz Winter and Willi Baumeister.

These three men had all been forbidden to paint during the Nazi era.

McComas said these men had all been artists before, during and after World War II. Both Winter and Baumeister were a part of a group called Zen 49 that promoted contemporary art as a rejection of Nazi values.

The Zen 49 group positioned itself as the heir to German expressionism.

McComas said the first exhibition of German postwar art came to the United States in 1951. The art was described as spirited by a press release. Most of the artists in the exhibitions were in their 40s an 50s.

“They were old enough to have been familiar with German expressionists and to have appreciated their work,” McComas said. “Some of these artists had actually studied with the major prewar artists at schools such as the Bauhaus.”

Upon close examination, missed moments at tourist spots become clear After completing a photo project for one of my classes, I realized we, as people, tend to have a difficult time embracing the moment before us.

The objective of the project was to capture people with a uniting theme. I had walked past the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio a handful of times at this point, and I always noticed people getting distracted by the view in front of them by their phones. So I decided to photograph people missing the moment.

I worried at first that I would have difficulty capturing people who would remove themselves from their surroundings, but it was unbelievably easy. It was to a point where if I wanted to capture people embracing the moment, it would have been more difficult.

There were different types of people missing the moment. The first place I went to take photos was the Duo-

mo where selfie sticks were everywhere.

I found it extremely difficult to wrap my head around how much time tourists spend with their backs turned to the Florence Cathedral.

Getting a selfie with the large egg-shaped church sadly seemed to hold a higher level of importance to many travelers than to simply see the historical building.

When we, as tourists, decide to take a grand trip we save up all of our funds to see famous landscapes and monuments that are centuries old, but once we arrive the experience tends to fall to the back seat as we focus so much on getting a photo of what is in front of us that only our lens truly sees the beauty in front us and not our eyes.

Beyond our obsession with capturing a photo of a city and proving that we were there, we also can forget the gravity of what’s in front of us.

Adele Poudrier is a junior in journalism.

When I visited Park Guell in Barcelona, there was an incredible view that showed every crack of the city, but as I looked around, once the photo was taken, and a glance was given, it seemed as if people could only think of what’s next.

They were constantly moving forward and not thinking twice to give more time to the moment before them.

It’s not just tourists who are guilty of misusing the moment before them. Natives too can get caught up in the day-to-day routine that makes their surroundings mundane.

I remember in particular, a man standing by the Duomo with bags in his hands and his phone snugged in between his ear and his shoulder as he spoke to someone on the other end of the line. What stood behind him was the Duomo

ADELE POUDRIER | IDS

While wandering through Florence, tourists are often caught up in capturing moments rather than experiencing them.

on a beautiful day.

I decided to finish the assignment by adding in the select photos of people who appeared to be taking in their moments before them to show that there is still hope in embracing what’s happening.

It takes talent to truly see what’s in front of you for what it really is. We are all guilty of letting our phones steal our gaze or treating a spectacular site to behold as something less than what it is because we’ve seen it more than once

or twice.

The ability to see the art around us for what is, can simply be a matter of turning our phones off and looking up. apoudrie@indiana.edu
