IU had barely let Virginia Tech get a touch of the ball in extra time. After another save from Virginia Tech goalkeeper Ben Lundgaard, the Hokies had numbers moving into the attacking half. Four Hokies took on three Hoosiers. The IU backline finally looked vulnerable. Virginia Tech junior midfielder Forrest White got the ball on his right foot, tapped it to his left and fired his shot off the left post. IU senior goalkeeper Christian Lomeli could do nothing but see it move past his outstretched arm. Just like that, heartbreak. “They had numbers on us,” IU junior defender Grant Lillard said. “He was able to bring it back to his left and he hit a nice shot. Sometimes there isn’t much you can do when they hit a shot like that.” Behind White’s first career goal, Virginia Tech ousted the No. 7 seeded Hoosiers from the NCAA

Students develop financial semester budgets
STANDING GROUND
By Christina Winfrey cawinfre@umail.iu.edu | @tinawinfrey33
Sophomore Gabby Harris said she knew the stress of running out of money too well. Due to her failure to stick to her budget, she now had to skip out on outings with friends and attempt to get through the next few weeks without spending much money. Many college students make a plan for when and where to spend money. Those that fail to make this plan may find themselves in situations like Harris’s. Dan Spore, personal finance professor and financial adviser, said it is very important for students to have a budget, whether it’s dividing up money their parents give them or keeping track of how much money they will make from their job. “Its up to the student to allocate that money on a periodic basis, which is essentially what a budget is, to make sure that the money lasts,” Spore said. Spore suggests dividing income into semesterly, monthly, weekly or even daily allowances. For example, if a student gets $500 per semester, they can divide this into $100 a month, Spore said. He said the type of budget depends on the student’s personal preferences. Every month, sophomore Kayla
Protestors at Standing Rock are subject to 24-hour police surveillance By Leah Carter leafcart@umail.iu.edu | @the_leah_carter
CANNON BALL, N.D. — Surveillance planes fly low to the ground, and protesters staying in the camp can hear the loud whirring throughout the day and night. Floodlights set up by police on top of Native American burial grounds and lights from the Dakota Access Pipeline construction site in North Dakota keep the camp bright even in the middle of the night. No one is sure if the airplanes are private surveillance hired by the Dakota Access Company or if they were sent by the federal government. “That night Sunday, there was a gray plane with no lights and no markings that flew over this camp for hours,” said Angela Bibens, an attorney and volunteer with the Standing Rock legal collective. “Was it a DAPL plane? Was it law enforcement? I don’t know.” Activists working against the DAPL are being subjected to heavy government surveillance, and frontline peaceful protesters have been targeted by police using military weaponry of questionable legality. “I’ve been here since August, and I’ve witnessed the escalation of violence and the buildup of military force that the Morton County Sheriff ’s Department has engaged in,” Bibens said. “It’s alarming the way that we are surveyed. It’s nonstop. Sometimes we get a break at night, but then it starts up again at six o’clock in the morning. I think it’s really just to create some sort of fear and chaos.” High-tech activists and volunteers are developing their own technologies to combat government-implemented cellphone
jams and create a secure cellphone connection within the Standing Rock camps. Despite the activists’ ingenuity, it is difficult to stop the Morton County Police Department’s use of less-than-lethal weapons on the front lines of peaceful demonstrations. Protesters, otherwise known as water protectors, have been building a resistance to the construction of the $3.7 billion oil pipeline that is intended to run 1,172 miles from North Dakota to Illinois. They have met a number of different surveillance tactics — including four known surveillance planes that fly over the camp 24 hours a day, often with no lights on, which Bibens says is illegal — and brutalities in the 10-month struggle to stop the pipeline. What people do know is the planes use a number of surveillance techniques, including infrared technology, which is used to tell exactly how many people are in each tent. Lisha Sterling, executive director of Geeks Without Bounds and information technology coordinator at the Standing Rock camps, said there is strong evidence the government is using international mobile subscriber identity-catchers, commonly known as Stingray technology. IMSI-catchers are devices used to set up fake cellphone towers to block cellphone signals and take the data from people’s phones. Sterling said Freedom of Information Act requests have been made about whether IMSI-catchers are being used, and those FOIA requests were instantly denied on security grounds. “The National Guard would neither confirm nor deny,” SterSEE PIPELINE, PAGE 6

Jazz band makes Player’s Pub debut with holiday tunes By Katie Chrisco kchrisco@ius.edu | @katiechrisco
On Sunday evening, patrons at the Player’s Pub swayed and tapped their feet to the beat of classic Christmas songs as they enjoyed their food and drinks. The 17-piece Swing Time Big Band, an affiliate of the Bloomington Community Band, made its debut at the venue. It featured vocalist Kathleen McCalahan and played various big band jazz arrangements of holiday tunes. Band director Jerry Jerome said he was pleased to see so many people at the Player’s Pub, especially because the band didn’t know what to expect for a Sunday evening show. He said the group hadn’t done a lot of advertising, but the little it did must have worked due to the considerable crowd. “Sunday afternoon, a group like ours that is not known, we thought, ‘Well, if no one is there it’ll be a rehearsal if nothing else,’” he said during a break between sets. “But
it’s been wonderful. We have a nice group here.” Player’s Pub owner Joe Estivill also said it can be difficult to draw a crowd on a Sunday or even find bands that are willing to play. He said he does not specifically seek out holiday shows during Christmas time but will allow musicians to make the decision to do a holiday-themed show on their own. “If artists want to do that sort of show then we normally will find space,” he said. “It just sort of happens organically between different artists.” Although the pub experienced financial difficulty earlier this month and nearly shut down, Estivill said the venue is back on its feet. He said except for a few initial missed shows due to lack of communication, the pub has been able to maintain shows as scheduled. “We’re trying to continue on, and the schedule is completed through 2016, and the first couple of months in 2017 are being worked on,” he said. “It’s an impor-
tant space to the community. Now we just have to find the bands to support it or have to find a way to help support it.” One such band is Jerome’s professional swing group, the Stardusters. Jerome said the group has been playing monthly shows at the venue since it opened nearly 12 years ago. “We’re somewhat of a fixture here,” he said. Though Jerome is not new to the Player’s Pub, he said he is excited to showcase the talents of the Swing Time Big Band. Formed almost two years ago, Jerome said the band is made up of volunteers and many of its newest members are students at Bloomington High School North. “They come from various levels of musicianship,” he said. “Some of them have never played big band before, and some are pros. It’s a hodge-podge, but they’re all guys that like to play.” Jerome said the band is glad to have young people interested in big band swing music and it is

good for the high school students to get experience playing in a public setting. “It’s a wonderful style,” he said. “I love it, and a lot of people do. This was born during World War II in the late 1930s. Big band swing will be with us forever, but it’s hard
to keep it alive.” Jerome said although being in so many musical projects keeps him busy, he is simply thankful he gets the opportunity to play. “I love it,” he said. “I love doing this. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
