Danielle Lynn remembered as compassionate, adventurous By Kathrine Schulze schulzek@indiana.edu | @kas_schulze

Danielle Nicole Lynn, third from left, sits outside with friends. The IU sophomore died unexpectedly Aug. 26.
Danielle Nicole Lynn liked to surround herself with those who were close to her. Hours spent on the roof of her freshman dorm. Days spent with her friends at the lake. Lynn was up for anything, friend and junior Lorenz Cohen said. “She could be wild if she wanted to,” Cohen said. “She was special like that.” Sometimes, she was content with just being an observer — sitting and watching her friends goof off, friend and sophomore Joseph Speybroeck said. “Everyone who was around her felt something special,” Cohen said. Lynn, who was beginning her sophomore year, died unexpectedly last Tuesday, Aug. 26. A resident of Franklin, Ind., and one of four siblings, Lynn graduated with honors from Franklin Community High School in 2012, according to her obituary in the Daily Journal. Lynn was one of four children. Her funeral service was Tuesday at Jessen Funeral Home, Whiteland Chapel. “She had a sixth sense about her,” Cohen said.
Always in tune to those around her, Cohen said Lynn knew when you weren’t OK. “She picked up on body language well,” he said. “She could tell when somebody was bummed out, she could tell when someone was irritated, didn’t want to be there — whatever. She picked up on that.” Lynn was an adventurous, courageous person who was happiest around others, Cohen said. Always well-dressed, her friends said she had a special connection to animals. “She always had a lot of fun,” Cohen said. “Whatever she did, she had fun.” Book smart, she was the kind of person who could ace a test no problem, Speybroeck said. “She brightened my day every damn day,” Cohen said. And that’s how he chooses to remember Lynn. “When you think about her, you should be happy,” Cohen said. “You should be very, very happy when you think about her.” She really made everybody better, he said. “She taught me how to live life fast and quick,” Speybroeck said. “Because it really is fast and quick.”
Title IX advice prompts policy changes By Samantha Schmidt schmisam@indiana.edu | @schmidtsam7
IU is implementing system-wide changes to sexual violence policies, procedures and prevention efforts in response to recent federal guidance from the United States Department of Education. The new changes, including the removal of students from hearing panels for appealed sexual assault cases, are taking place amid an Office of Civil Rights investigation into the University’s compliance with Title IX sexual harassment and sexual violence policies. The review, which began in March, seeks to determine if the University has responded promptly and effectively to complaints of sexual violence, according to a DOE spokesman. For the past few months, IU has been providing the Office of Civil Rights with documents and information about its sexual assault reporting procedures, prevention efforts and victim support resources.

IU introduces Moren, assistants By Dan Matney cdmatney@indiana.edu | @Dan_Matney
Teri Moren’s travel schedule took an unforeseen change Aug. 9. Moren was set to travel with the Indiana State women’s basketball team for a weeklong tour in Costa Rica. During a layover in Miami, Fla., Moren received a message from IU Athletics Director Fred Glass. “I had just landed, and I had a message from Fred saying to call him,” Moren said. “Then I called, and I was offered the job.” Moren said she was in contact with Glass during the previous 48 hours before the offer came in. Once she received a formal offer, she informed her coaching staff and team — who fully supported the move — of the change and flew to her new home in Bloomington. Moren, an Indiana native, arrives in Bloomington with a record of 199-130, having experienced just one losing season during her 11year career, the 2011-12 season, her second with Indiana State. Playing high school basketball in Seymour, Ind., Moren scored 1,138 career points and appeared in the 1987 state finals. Moren averaged 18.4 points per

In 1991, Moren started every game on the first women’s Boilermaker team to make an appearance in the NCAA tournament. Despite her Purdue roots and
previous in-state coaching stops, Moren said it has always been her dream to coach for the Hoosiers. “For a southern Indiana kid that grew up watching Bobby Knight, Ted Kitchel and Steve Alford, this is a dream come true,” she said. “It doesn’t matter where I played and where I’ve coached.

People with a bachelor’s degree and work experience in any field will soon be able to teach that field in Indiana secondary schools after passing a content test. The State Board of Education voted 7-3 Wednesday to approve teacher licensing legislation that included a proposal called the career specialist certificate, according to a release from the SBOE. The certificate allows potential instructors with a bachelor’s degree and a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale to teach secondary education when they pass a content exam related to their field. David Freitas, who voted in favor of the legislation, said in the release that the permit would allow school districts to hire a broader range of applicants based on their local needs. “This permit provides experi-
enced professionals with a gateway into the teaching profession,” Freitas said. “It empowers school boards and principals to make local hiring decisions that best fit their schools’ needs.” Board members Brad Oliver, Troy Albert and Glenda Ritz, superintendent of public instruction, voted against the proposed legislation, according to Indiana Public Media. Albert is the Board member from District 9, which includes Monroe County. The permit has been widely criticized by teacher groups such as the Indiana State Teacher’s Association, which claims the license will allow under-qualified instructors to teach because license holders are not required to take teacher training before starting in a classroom.

Attendance record set at fair By Neha Ramani nramani@indiana.edu | @neha_ramani
Students walked away from Dunn Meadow Wednesday afternoon with tote bags filled with candy, T-shirts and various IU gear. They were leaving the annual Student Involvement Fair which introduces students to on and off-campus extracurricular clubs and volunteer opportunities. This year, more than 350 student groups, a record high attendance, had booths at the fair, said Colleen Rose, senior assistant director for Student Life and Learning. Rose estimated that around 10,000 students attended the fair over the course of the day. “This is probably the most people we have had,” she said. “Every year the fair is better than the year before.” More booths meant organizations had to try harder to attract the attention of students, said Karli Hansen, a student organizations graduate assistant. “The Student Athletic Board is giving out free Tshirts, so I know exactly where their booth is because a million people have come and asked where they are,” she said. “They’re getting a lot of people.” Hansen said sporting and volunteering groups seemed to attract large crowds to their booths. “The longboarding club has been popular, and Midnight Snipes Quidditch has had a really long line for a while,” she said. In addition to handouts, free food was another tactic

used to lure students. Several booths boasted bowls full of candy, and a group of students was spotted beckoning their friends to “the table that has popsicles.” Other groups drew in students by appealing to their emotions and ideals. “Are you interested in helping alleviate global poverty?” one student asked those passing the Trockman MicrofinanceNRInitiative booth she was manning. “A lot of people are like, yes, we do, but then some keep walking past anyway,” she said.

tions,” another student at the booth said. “This year we will visit Chicago, Cincinnati, and we have a trip planned to Rwanda this summer.” The two students estimated that about 40 to 50 students visited their booth, which they agreed is a good number because the club currently boasts about 30 members.
They said this is the first year the group has had a booth at the fair, and membership was mostly offered to students in the Kelley School of Business. “Global poverty isn’t just a business issue,” the first student said. “We wanted to get people from the whole campus involved, so we are here this year.”
Climate change lecture series opens By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma
Undergraduate and graduate students, IU faculty and Bloomington community members filled seats, lined walls and formed rows in Presidents Hallas to hear Rajendra Pachauri speak on climate change Wednesday. Pachauri, chairman of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,spoke on the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report, which offers a current view of the state of scientific knowledge in regarding climate change, according to the IPCC website. Pachauri’s talk on the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment is part of a lecture series focused on climate change negotiations leading up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris in December 2015. The series is sponsored by the School of Public and
Environmental Affairs, the School of Global and International Studies and the World Resources Institute. The last installment of IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report, to be completed by the end of October, will be presented at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, according to the IPCC website. “Dr. Pachauri coming and speaking, as the chair of the IPCC, is a good kickoff for this entire climate change series of talks, because what he (said) is based on the studies and the latest report from the IPCC, which came out in March of this year and which has, once again, rung the bell, the danger that faces humankind if we do not tackle the question of climate change,” said Rajendra Abhyankar, professor of practice in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and former ambassador of India to the Euro-
pean Union. Pachauri revealed that, by the end of this century, the increase in temperate must be limited to two degrees Celsius, he said. “It is going to be absolutely essential that we not only bring down emissions of greenhouse gases to zero by the end of this century, but below zero,” Pachauri added. If the emissions of greenhouse gases are not brought down to zero and the increase in temperature is not limited to two degrees Celsius by the end of the century, humans will continue to experience the effects of a warming atmosphere, warming oceans and melting of snow and ice, Pachauri said. The continued — and this time, unrectifiable — existence of extreme perspiration events, heat waves, droughts, human displacement, loss of food sources and introduction of diseas-
es will result. Pachauri stressed the importance of a global movement in the effort to prevent climate change. “What we really need is universal understanding of the fact that we are all members of spaceship Earth, and there’s no other planet that we can go to,” Pachauri said. An increase in knowledge leads to a growth in positive change, Pachauri said. In addition to the importance of a global movement, he emphasized the role of higher education in the effort to prevent climate change. “I think what we really need is initiatives by the leaders of our various states of the world, political leaders and, I would say most importantly, institutions like (IU) to create this sense of universal responsibility by which we realize that each one of us is part of the same climate,” Pachauri said.

» TITLE IX
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Representatives from the office will be on the Bloomington campus from Sept. 8 to Sept. 12 and are inviting students to attend focus groups gauging their awareness of IU’s Title IX-related policies, procedures and resources. “I’m actually really excited,” said Jason Casares, associate dean of students and director of the Office of Student Ethics. “I know some folks are fearful of it, but I think we’re doing great stuff here.” According to records obtained by the Indiana Daily Student, the Office of Student Ethics adjudicated 67 reports of sexual misconduct or sexual harassment from July 1, 2011, through Dec. 31, 2013. The spring 2014 data have not yet been released. Following new guidance suggested by the Office of Civil Rights in April, the University made the decision to alter the process for hearing appealed sexual assault cases on campus. Previously, when a student appealed a decision in the Office of Student Ethics, a review board would hear the appeal. The panel would have included an appointed faculty member, staff member and a student from the IU Student Association Supreme Court. But according to new guidance from the Office of Civil Rights, IU is discouraged from allowing students to serve on hearing boards in cases involving allegations of sexual violence. Going forward, appealed cases will be heard by the respective student affairs professional on each IU campus: Dean of Students Harold “Pete” Goldsmith at IUBloomington, for example. Title IX guidance also contributed to the University’s decision to rearrange its Deputy Title IX coordinator roles, said Emily Springston, IU’s Student Welfare Compliance coordinator. The IU Athletics department has never handled its own sexual assault cases, but Executive Associate Athletics Director Julie Cromer previously served as one of IUBloomington’s Deputy Title IX Coordinators, Springston said. The University has decided that Cromer will no longer carry the title in order to keep athletics separate from the sexual assault reporting process and clarify that all athletes must work through the Office of Student Ethics. The Office of Student Ethics has also increased the pool of professional staff available to sit on hearing panels for sexual assault cases from 19 people last year to 30 this year, boosting training hours to a total of almost 50 hours, Casares said. In all of its policy changes,
the University has rewritten its procedures to encompass the IU system as a whole, Casares said. Previously, each campus had its own process and procedure for managing sexual violence cases. “Now we have one system, one procedure,” Casares said. “It’s really going to help us create the ability to be consistent across the system.” The leading effort in these system-wide changes has taken place through the newly founded Student Welfare Initiative, which aims to coordinate and boost sexual assault prevention and response efforts across the seven campuses. The initiative, comprised of several committees and councils, has begun a public awareness campaign, posting sexual assault prevention posters in buildings on campus. It also launched a new website last month to provide a single access point for information about sexual assault and campus resources. On the new website, stopsexualviolence.iu.edu, the University has written an expanded definition of consent, clarifying “not just what consent is, but what consent is not,” Casares said. Springston said she feels IU is a leader nationally in the way it manages its sexual assault procedures, but she expects the Office of Civil Rights will make recommendations for further improvements. “No one wants to say we’ve got this and it’s perfect.” Springston said. Rachel Green, senior adviser for Culture of Care, is a student representative on the executive committee for the Student Welfare Initiative. Green said that although IU’s system compares well to other universities, she would like to see changes within the judicial process to make it more “survivor-friendly.” She hopes conversations will take place about how to minimize the trauma for students reporting sexual assaults and improve hearing panel training to avoid victim blaming. “It’s overwhelming,” Green said about the judicial process. “It’s a really big decision for a survivor to report a sexual assault.” She said she thinks surveying students about their understanding of consent, response procedures and resources on campus is the first step in identifying gaps in awareness. Such insight might soon be possible through a campus climate survey planned for later this fall through the Student Welfare Initiative, Springston said. Any conversation among students and faculty about preventing sexual assault is a valuable one, Green said. “Until there’s no more sexual assaults on campus, there’s room for improvement,” Green said.

Rep. Turner loses role in leadership By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu @emilyernsberger
Rep. Eric Turner, R-Cicero, will have his leadership role in the Indiana General Assembly revoked next fall. Following an alleged incident involving personal investment in a proposed bill, Speaker of the House Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, announced last Friday he will not select Turner as Speaker Pro Tem in the upcoming term. Last spring, the Indiana General Assembly voted to pass a moratorium on nursing home construction. Turner was questioned by the House of Representatives Ethics Committee in April about his involvement in working to kill the bill. Turner’s son, Zeke Turner, is the CEO of Mainstreet Property Group, a Carmelbased company that develops senior care facilities. Turner has investments in the company and could have been financially affected if the bill passed, which it did. Turner did not vote on the bill in question but was reprimanded for being involved in discussion. “Given the recently disclosed magnitude of Rep. Turner’s personal and family
financial interest in the outcome of the nursing home moratorium debate, any involvement in the decisionmaking process, whether in public debate or through private discussions with fellow elected officials, presented an irreconcilable conflict,” Bosma said in a release last Friday. “Rep. Turner should have recused himself entirely from influencing the matter in any way given the personal financial stake involved.” In his interrogation by the ethics committee, Turner said his involvement was consistent with House ethics rules, describing his discussion as offering his “particular expertise on the nursing home industry and the nursing home moratorium.” Turner’s replacement will be appointed after the new session begins and Bosma is reelected as Speaker of the House through a caucus. In his statement, urging Turner to step down from his position, Bosma said he plans to propose an ethics bill during the 2015 session. A spokesperson for Bosma said details will be publicly announced at a later date. Turner is running against Democrat Bob Ashley in the midterm election for the 32nd Congressional District seat.
Meijer adds more than 10,000 jobs to midwest From IDS reports
Retailer and supermarket chain Meijer announced Wednesday that the chain will be adding 1,800 jobs to Indiana store locations. The company announced the addition of more than 10,000 jobs to the Midwest. The influx of jobs comes as a result of the company adding new store locations and its preparations for the upcoming fall and holiday selling season. Though many of these jobs will be available on a part-time basis, there are also specialized jobs that need to be filled, such as meat cutting and cake decorating in the store’s bakery. Open positions are available at all Meijer stores, according to the release. Michael Rotelle, senior vice president of human resources for Meijer, said in

the release the growing retailer will seek to add on to their staff following the holiday season. “While most of these opportunities are part time and seasonal, these jobs can provide a gateway to a full-time career at Meijer,” Rotelle said. “As we continue to grow, we are frequently looking to fill our on-going part-time and full-time needs.” Stores in several of the surrounding states including Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky will also be adding jobs. Store locations in Michigan will be adding the most positions, with 4,800 new jobs. Meijer stores are open 24 hours every day of the year except Christmas Day. Holly Hays
Coalition promotes Ind. livability From IDS reports
In the 2014 edition of Livability’s “Top 100 Best Places To Live,” Indiana communities were nowhere to be found. The state just broke a six-year streak of declining population growth rates and ranks as the 30th fastest growing state in the country. An Indiana Philanthropy Alliance-led coalition formed Wednesday aims to change those trends by making the Hoosier State’s communities more attractive and livable. The Lifelong Indiana Coalition includes more than 14 Indiana organiza-
tions as stakeholders who will work to make Indiana’s cities and towns better places for lifelong livability. “The coalition is a collaboration of leading public, private and philanthropic organizations focused on shaping communities of Indiana residents of all ages and abilities can make their lifelong homes,” according to a press release. The coalition will be funded through a variety of groups statewide, including the Pfizer Foundation, Grantmakers in Aging, the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County and the IU Center on Aging and Community.
“Lifelong Indiana will work across sectors to earn broad support for the kinds of policies, investments and direct services that help make communities more livable for everyone,” coalition spokesperson Marie Beason said. The coalition has begun monthly meetings to discuss and plan its opening wave of projects, which could be implemented by the end of 2014. The initiative’s initial aims include plans to encourage discussions between citizens and elected officials, provide better resources to service providers and raise awareness about appropriate community-building for all
residents. Jacob Sipe, executive director of the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, said the coalition is the culmination of effort from a range of organizations across the state. “The goal to create and preserve housing and infrastructures where people can comfortably live, work and invest in their communities of choice is not a new concept,” he said. “But the momentum from collaborative statewide efforts of the newly formed Lifelong Indiana Coalition is already beginning to flourish in lifelong communities.”

ZIPPER UNZIPPED
A HOMAN MOMENT
Living while distracted
Nutty attraction RILEY ZIPPER is a senior in English.
Last week I was on the couch with my boyfriend watching an episode of “Will & Grace” I had seen a thousand times before when, during a commercial break, something strange caught our attention. The commercial was for a Payday candy bar. The ad showed the iconic nutty caramel bar slowly peeling off its wrapper as if it were a seductress of sorts, and, when it came time for the bar’s “walnuts” to be exposed, a Sims-esque blurry patch covered the area so we couldn’t see what it was that was too “hot” for basic cable. During this undressing, that quite frankly would make Lena Dunham of “Girls” blush, a voiceover announced, “It’s the candy bar that is too hot for TV — in all its naked glory — stripped of chocolate with nothing but salty, roasted peanuts on soft, sweet caramel. A Payday bar will get you through your day. Expose yourself to Payday.” I’m not a prude, and it’s not even the content that disgusts me. It’s the fact that the advertising industry is exploiting our carnal desires for its own personal gain. This is nothing new, of course, but because it’s so ingrained, it wasn’t something I was conscious of before seeing this ridiculous commercial. So during that break, my boyfriend and I started counting how many ads tapped into sex to sell a product. We counted seven out of 12. This was on WE or LOGO, networks for apparently pretty horny people, I guess, us gay people. Essentially not Nickelodeon or Disney Channel, but it still shocked us both. Again, it’s not the content that shocked us. We’re not One Million Moms. It’s not like sex on television is something horrible or abhorrent. But sexualizing a candy bar? That’s the pinnacle of scumbag even for the advertising industry, an industry that operates so well because it is known for its scumbaggery. The thing that really makes me mad is that this campaign, despite all the controversy, will still be successful for Payday. What makes me even madder is the fact that I really want a Payday bar right now. So what I’m saying is that we can criticize advertisements as much as we want, but it doesn’t matter. They do their job. It’s the whole “all press is good press” thing. Buzz like this just gets people talking. It doesn’t matter what they’re talking about. Maybe a few people take a stand and boycott using a product for a few weeks or months. Companies don’t care about those people anyway. They care about the mainstream. The average person. And the average person is not one to take a stand against a product because of an advertisement. But this is not a call to arms against Payday or any product. I’m not going to do that. All I’m trying to do is get people to take a step back and think about why ads are so effective. So next time you’re watching actual cable television, pay attention to the commercials. I guarantee what you find will make you uneasy. Or oddly turned on. ziperr@indiana.edu

Journalistic TMI WE SAY: Journalism has its limits For the hundreds of student athletes here at IU, the media attention is rightly and justifiably on the on-field performance. However, when there is undue media attention, sometimes this can spiral quickly out of control. Journalists can cross lines and go too far when trying to get a good story, and what gets caught in the middle, more often than not, is the privacy of a person and the integrity of the journalist. The latest case of journalistic overreach comes from ESPN and their reporting on Michael Sam’s showering habits or, more specifically, his teammates proximity to his showering habits. Josina Anderson, a reporter at ESPN, decided to report on Sam’s shower habits during SportsCenter in a segment when she was expected to be discussing how he was fitting into the team dynamics as a whole. “Another Rams defensive player told me that ‘Sam is respecting our space’ and that, from his perspective, he seems
to think that Michael Sam is waiting to take a shower, as not to make his teammates feel uncomfortable,” Anderson reported. According to the Rams, she asked multiple team members about Sam’s showering habits — who he showered with, what he did, if he make other players uncomfortable, etc. As the first openly gay NFL player, Sam gained a large amount of media attention during his time with the St. Louis Rams. It got the Rams a lot of positive media attention and further de-stigmatized both gay persons in sports and in general. But Anderson and ESPN apparently saw a cheap story opportunity. We at the editorial board believe this kind of reporting is not just silly, but it makes a mountain out of a molehill in every sense of the phrase. This issue absolutely never comes up for any other NFL player. While we recognize that Mr. Sam is in a unique position in the NFL and
the national spotlight, the idea that his showering habits are newsworthy is a horrible example of attempting to use shock value and lasciviousness to gain views. How ESPN or Anderson thought this would work is absolutely beyond us. This was extremely personal information, but I am not sure what this says about the national fascination of Sam’s football career. We all want to see him succeed. The fact that he did not make the Rams’ final roster was a little disappointing, but he has signed with the Dallas Cowboys practice squad. His acceptance says a little bit about the state that the NFL is in at this time. It is a shame that the focus on showering habits took precedence over the team camaraderie that was building during the past few weeks. Journalistic overreach is always possible, and it is something that even we at the IDS need to be careful of because it is all too easy to find in pursuit of the next great story.
CARMEN’S CALL
Transitioning to 21st-century modesty In today’s age, the call to combat slut shaming and the negative stereotypes associated with short hems and crop tops has inadvertently created a stigma against women who decide to wear less revealing clothing. Whether the motivation for modesty is rooted in pride or religious principles, it is just as celebratory to cover up the majesty of the female form as it is to flaunt it. These opposing views of the female body create a dichotomy of perfection that is as dangerous as it is occasionally uplifting. There is a value in maintaining a sense of privacy toward one’s body. In a culture where sexy has become synonymous with
skin, wearing less revealing clothing sends a message to society that a woman’s sexuality is more than her beautifully constructed body. Women possess goals, dreams and opinions and do not need revealing clothing to exude sexuality. The media’s exaltation of feminine digitally edited perfection has also indoctrinated a generation of women with either crippling shame or a need to flaunt their ideal form. Some receive a modicum of self-confidence by showing off, and while this is encouraged, it’s important to remember that sometimes a woman just doesn’t want the amount of skin she shows to equal how sexy or attractive
she feels. However, the choice to wear less revealing clothing is not shameful but rather an acknowledgement that not everyone is worthy of viewing her body. Women who wear less revealing clothing understand they do not have to adhere to the conventional norms of beauty or feminism in order to celebrate their womanhood. These women are not only comfortable in their skin, they protect their skin. They do not want to give it away, and that’s fine. While certain events such as the slutwalk are meaningful ways of celebrating a woman’s body, there is just as much power in women cele-

brating the feminine form by reserving their bodies for the individuals whom they deem worthy of gazing upon their curves. The celebration of women’s bodies manifests itself in many different ways across many different cultures and faiths. While modesty has been used in the past to perpetuate the stereotype of feminine propriety, it is the woman’s duty to take charge of her body and remember that it is just as liberating to cover up as it is to bare it all. carheredi@indiana.edu

Glancing away from the road for a mere five seconds, which, at 55 mph, will get you the length of a football field, is dangerous. And yet people still get in their cars with phone in hand. It’s truly astounding that so many can be exempt from the laws of probability and motion. Auto companies are racing to find the most intuitive talk-to-text software. Tech industry is frantically searching for more ways to make smartphones handsfree. Yet they ignore that they’re explicitly endorsing a deadly practice. The risks and implications of texting and driving will always be the same: there’s no fine line between which texts are safe to send and which ones are not. Last August, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration put out a study on brain function behind the wheel. The study points out that, cognitively, our brains process information related to the task at hand — driving — better than texting. So, reading a road sign will be much easier to understand than, say, your friends’ washy explanation as to why they didn’t come out last night. Still, I find this facetious. The issue isn’t if we can make texting while driving safer. The issue is that you need to get that stupid phone out of your face while operating heavy machinery. We go into anaphylactic shock without having our devices for more than five minutes. Our attention spans are so far gone that we can no longer simply sit and observe our surroundings. As students, we’re busy people, preparing for busy lives, but we live so endlessly distracted by something outside of ourselves that the greater extent of our cultural and social capital is devalued significantly on a daily basis. Texting while operating a motor vehicle is against the law in Indiana, but even the legislative wording is ambiguous. The law decrees that anyone using an electronic communication device while driving a car may be subject to the law’s penalties. This proves problematic because using a smartphone as a GPS device or even surfing the web isn’t technically electronic communication. Enforcement statistics are heavily one-sided due to the frequency of honest drivers, which as you may imagine are scant. One possible solution is a text limit app that helps keep drivers from texting on the road. The app uses your smartphones’ accelerometer to lock the phone after reaching a certain speed, preventing drivers from accessing messages until deceleration. I believe this is a feature that, with some tweaking, should be mandatory on all smartphones. Instead of asking how to alter the device or the vehicle to your every need, why not postulate on what discretion or moderation means to you? Go ahead and keep treating yourself as the exception. Whatever you believe, if you text on the road, you’re still putting your life and the lives of those in your company and on the road in jeopardy. michoman@indiana.edu

IU alum Phegley called up by White Sox Former Hoosier catcher Josh Phegley was called up to the Chicago White Sox, the team announced Tuesday. Phegley will rejoin the team after being demoted during spring training to the Charlotte Knights, the AAA affiliate of the
White Sox. The Terre Haute native spent three seasons as a Hoosier where he was a First Team All-Big Ten selection his junior year. Phegley was drafted as the 38th overall pick in the 2009 draft.
Notebook: IU looks to build during bye week By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen
IU Coach Kevin Wilson is using his team’s early bye week as an extension of preseason preparation before hitting a critical six-game stretch that starts with Bowling Green on Sept. 13. Wilson shined some light on the backup quarterback situation and the current state of his passing game Wednesday.

The IU RedSteppers sing along to the national anthem before the football game against Indiana State on Aug. 30. The 26-member dance team performs at every home football game.
Dancers enhance gameday By Danny White danswhit@indiana.edu
IU RedSteppers Coach Janis Cooper Parker likes to say, “the RedSteppers are the hardest-working women in football.” The IU RedSteppers have been cheering on the Hoosiers for 42 years. Distinct from IU Cheerleading, they are an auxiliary precision dance unit of the Marching Hundred marching band. The 26-member squad dances on the field at every home football game. “In 1972, around the time Marching Hundred became coed, then-director Fred Ebbs wanted to add a visual element,” Parker said. Ebbs and founding choreographer Karen Bailey added a squad of dancers to
the Marching Hundred and called them the RedSteppers. Parker, the current coach of the RedSteppers, was herself a RedStepper her junior and senior years. Not all RedSteppers start as freshmen. IU senior Ali Linnemeier auditioned in the spring of her sophomore year. “For me, the first audition was hard because I have to repeat (dance steps) a lot where other people can just pick it up,” Linnemeier said. A RedStepper must be an IU student and have prior dance experience, stage presence and knowledge of technical dance moves. These skills are tested at the audition. “We learned the school song, ‘Indiana Our Indiana,’ and then two other dances.
One was a more modern routine, and the other was a kick line,” junior RedStepper Alex Etheridge said. The RedSteppers practice in the Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse five times a week for two hours a day with no mirror and no band. “You really just have to be flexible,” Etheridge said. Because they are expected to learn a dance every week, the members must manage their time efficiently. “Our coach, Janis Cooper Parker, does a lot of careful planning and mapping out formations. It really comes together around game time,” Etheridge said. On game day, the RedSteppers arrive five hours before kickoff. It is the only time to practice on the field with the band and run the
entire show. A home game can be a 10-hour day filled with dancing and numerous costume changes. Because the RedSteppers spend a lot of time practicing with each other, they develop a strong bond. “We spend at least 20 hours a week together because we have practice for almost two hours a day, and game days can be up to 10 hours,” Linnemeier said. While the RedSteppers are not given scholarships, they receive two credit hours as a class from the Jacobs School of Music. “It’s always great as a team to look up in the stands full of IU students, and it’s definitely worth all of the hours you put in to be on the field at game day,” Linnemeier said.
Covington moves to quarterback, backup job uncertain Former defensive back turned quarterback Chris Covington took the final snap of IU’s 28-10 win against Indiana State last Saturday and is now working to climb the quarterback depth chart, Wilson said. Wilson said Covington still isn’t 100 percent after a knee injury last fall and still has catching up to do while learning the quarterback position. During practice, he stands with coaches and is quizzed on the signal call, the snap count and is asked to call the play. But he won’t see any significant practice time until he is fully healthy, which Wilson expects will be soon. “We haven’t really turned him loose yet,” Wilson said. “I think we’re about a week or so from saying, ‘OK, you can take the gloves off.’” Wilson was given the hypothetical question by a reporter of what he would do if junior quarterback Nate Sudfeld had to miss playing time Wednesday, but Wilson didn’t give any new insight on the backup quarterback job. “We’d just play with 10,” Wilson joked. “Take a knee. Take a timeout. You get three timeouts. That’s three calls.” Wilson fine with passing game despite early struggles Despite junior quarterback Nate Sudfeld attempt-
ing only 18 passes and passing for only 111 yards, Wilson said Sudfeld “played kind of good.” “(Indiana State) tweaked some things in coverage where with a couple concepts we didn’t have a complete enough plan,” Wilson said. Wilson has been publicly pushing Sudfeld in camp to bring his play to the next level. He wants to see Sudfeld and the offense, which featured a number of rookies getting playing time at receiver, continue to improve during practice throughout the season with the starting job resting squarely on his shoulders. “We need that group to continue to practice at the level where there starts to become that trust and timing that you need,” Wilson said. IU is using the early break in the schedule as a preseason build-up of sorts, making corrections from the Indiana State game and trying to be fully prepared for the team’s Sept. 13 game against Bowling Green. Bowling Green quarterback injured Bowling Green, IU’s Sept. 13 opponent, lost junior quarterback Matt Johnson for the remainder of the season after he suffered a hip injury in the Falcons’ 59-31 loss to Western Kentucky. Johnson came into his junior season highly touted after finishing seventh in the nation last year in yards-perattempt. He posted a 25-to-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio, giving him the No. 11 ranked passer rating in the FBS. Against IU last season, Johnson threw for 248 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception in what ended up being one of his worst games of the season. Redshirt sophomore James Knapke is expected to start in Johnson’s place this weekend and could be the starter against IU in two weeks.
3 swimmers named to national team From IDS reports
Three current and former IU swimmers were selected for the 2014-15 USA Swimming National Team, the organization announced Tuesday. Sophomore Gia Dalesandro, a first-time national team member, earned her spot on the team in the 100-meter butterfly. Her time of 58.99 in the event at the USA Swimming national meet last month was a new school record. Joining Dalesandro on
the women’s team is Lindsay Vrooman, who completed her final season as a Hoosier in the spring. She made the team in the 400-meter freestyle and 800-meter freestyle. Vrooman clocked in at 4:07.82 in the 400 free at last month’s meet and went 8:29.06 in the 800 free. The former Hoosier also earned a spot on the 2013-14 National team in the 400-meter freestyle. Cody Miller made the men’s team for the second consecutive year and will
compete in the 100- and 200-meter breaststrokes. Miller went 59.91 in the 100 breaststroke at last month’s meet to win his first senior national title. That race also earned Miller a spot on the 2015 World Championships team and a trip to the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships. He posted a time of 2:11.28 in the 200 breaststroke at the USA Swimming national meet. Grace Palmieri

Senior Audra Heilman was named the Big Ten Field Hockey Offensive Player of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday. The forward led IU to a 3-2 comeback win against New Hampshire on Friday. Heilman scored all three of the Hoosiers’ goals in the second period.
She recorded her second hat trick of the weekend and added an assist in the team’s 6-0 win against St. Louis. “For opening weekend, Audra put together an amazing goal-scoring campaign for her team,” IU Coach Amy Robertson said in a press release. “She’s also a very selfless player and makes everyone around her better ... We’re really proud of Audra, and we’re
really proud of the effort that went into this weekend.” Heilman’s back-to-back hat tricks are a program first. She is just the third player to do so more than once in a single season. Heilman and former IU player Lydia Schrott are the only two to record a total of three hat tricks in their careers. Grace Palmieri

Then-freshman Larryn Brooks drives toward the basket during the game against Michigan on Feb. 19 at Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers went 21-13 last year with then-coach Curt Miller. Teri Moren takes over the program this season.
» MOREN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 why I do this. I do it because of our impact on the lives of these young kids.” In addition, Moren said she hopes IU is the final destination on her coaching journey. “I’d like this to be my last stop,” Moren said. “I’d like to retire here and look back sometime down the road and leave this place in really good shape.” Taking over a program late in the offseason isn’t the ideal circumstance for any new coach. Moren said it is difficult to assemble a staff late in the offseason because most candidates are looking for jobs shortly after the season concludes. Nearly a month after being named head coach, Moren announced her staff Sept. 2. The coaching staff will consist of Curtis Loyd, Rhet Wierzba and Todd Starkey. Loyd spent the previous four seasons as a defensive assistant with the University
of Minnesota. Wierzba comes to IU after spending the 2013-14 season with Moren at Indiana State. Starkey has spent most of his coaching career at the Division II level, most recently at Lenois-Rhyne University, where he is also the winningest coach in program history. With what Moren believes to be the right coaching staff in place, the next challenge is to form relationships with players not just on a basketball level but also on a personal basis. “For us being a new staff, our No. 1 priority is to foster relationships with the kids,” Moren said. “We’ve had to expedite the process. We are trying to get to know them as quickly as we can.” Wierzba added that getting to know players is about more than just skill level. “You’re learning about their mental toughness,” Wierzba said. “Who are your leaders going to be? Who can you go to when it counts? We are learning these things day by day. Each day you gain something new.”
On the court, Moren will add her own wrinkles to the team’s previous game plan. “We decided when we took this job, one of the things we were going to not do was reinvent the wheel,” she said. “This is a team that has been very comfortable in the old system offensively. We feel like we can bring in some of the stuff from our other stops and add to it.” The Hoosiers will look to play at a faster pace during the first year in the Moren Era. “We are talking about pace and tempo,” Moren said. “I’m a really firm believer in what we do in practice is what we’ll do in a game. We’ve been teaching to get the ball up court as quickly as possible. Every team will tell you that they like to run, but it’s not that easy.” Although there is a lot of focus on developing the offense that averaged 69.7 points per game last year, defense is going to be a primary focus before the Nov. 11 opener against the University of Indianapolis. With Curt Miller last sea-
son, the Hoosiers’ defense allowed 66.5 points per game, which was the 157th best scoring defense on the national level. “It’s going to be an emphasis in practice and games,” Moren said. “We (need to be) able to defend and rebound the ball on nights when our shots aren’t falling.” Starkey said the team plans on throwing a variety of different defensive looks at teams depending on the situation. “We want to make it difficult for teams to shoot every time down the court,” Starkey said. “We’ll build out from half-court man defensive principles and translate to good zone. If you focus on zone, it really doesn’t translate to man. We’ll take calculated risks instead of risks all over the court.” Despite the coaching change, Moren and the Hoosiers have high expectations. “There are great things in store for the program,” Moren said. “We have an eager group. Any time you have success it breeds confidence.”
» LICENSING
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 specialists will not be able to pass on their knowledge to their students unless they understand how students behave and how children’s minds work. “It’s important to know your stuff, but it’s also important to know how kids learn,” Meredith said. To mitigate this, there is a clause in the legislation requiring certificate applicants to take teacher training to learn about classroom management and instruction methods within a month of beginning teaching. New instructors would also be required to pass a content exam in the area in which they plan to teach and have 6,000 hours of work experience in that field. The Rules for Education Preparation and Accountability, or REPA I, was proposed in 2010 when the responsibility for licensure rules shifted from the Professional Standards Board to the State Board of Education.
$8.49
REPA II, which amended REPA I and first suggested the adjunct teacher permit, was not voted on in time for it to come to fruition, according to Indiana Public Media. The vote would have to have taken place before March 13, 2013, in order for the rule change to take effect. The career specialist permit was added to the REPA III this May, replacing the proposal for adjunct teacher permits. The adjunct teacher permit would have been good for five years instead of two like the career specialist permit, according to the State BOE website. The adjunct permit did not require 6,000 hours work experience. Both permits required applicants to earn a 3.0 GPA in college studies of their chosen field. Individuals who become teachers under REPA III would also be required by the legislation to complete their teaching pedagogy requirements beginning in their first month of teaching.

UNLOCKING A WORLD OF MUSIC Landlocked Music brings discovery and customer service to buying music By Ike Hajinazarian ihajinaz@indiana.edu | @_IkeHaji
Thirty-three percent. According to Nielsen and Billboard, that’s how much the sales of vinyls and LPs grew in between 2012 and 2013. While the sales of vinyl and LPs still make up a relatively tiny portion of all music sales in the United States — roughly six percent — that is still a substantial amount of growth. One Bloomington record shop is contributing to that figure. In March of 2006, Jason Nickey and fellow IU alumnus Heath Byers opened Landlocked Music, located just off of the square in downtown Bloomington on Walnut Street. “We just wanted there to be a good record store in the town that we lived in, so we took it upon ourselves to do it,” Nickey said. “There wasn’t a store that we thought was up to our standards.” Records were always a part of Nickey’s life. His dad kept records around the house, and even though Nickey was a kid during the 1980s, much of the music he grew up on was the music on his dad’s records — music from bands like the Who and Led Zeppelin. Many of the records Nickey had collected until 2006, along with those of Byers and their friends, comprised the original inventory Landlocked sold to customers. That inventory, though, has substantially grown since then. “We had more bins than we had records to put in them,” Nickey said. A hub for music Purchasing goods and services from a local business brings money back into a local economy in a way that buying from national chains just can’t do, according to President and CEO of the Greater BloomingSEE LANDLOCKED, PAGE 11

Adventure, horror flick is more below, less above “As Above, So Below” Review C-
MCT CAMPUS
“Gotham” follows a cop destined for greatness as he navigates a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil. The show also chronicles the birth of one of the most popular superheroes of our time.
‘Gotham’ gives old tale new light “Gotham” Review BA story begins with a hero’s tale. An “origin” story, if you will. Superman’s parents sent him to Earth in a rocket or something, and suddenly Earth is a hotspot for alien monsters. Peter Parker is bitten by a spider, and now we’ve got rich dudes going AWOL and terrorizing New York City. Bruce Wayne’s parents die, and Gotham is overrun by a cult of super villains. There has to be more than that. These cities existed before Spiderman and Batman. Evil existed before Spiderman and Batman, but we never stop to ask what was happening before the masks came out.
That’s the question FOX’s new series “Gotham” hopes to answer. “Gotham” is the tale of the city before the caped crusader began speeding through the streets in search of the Joker or Cat Woman. “Gotham” is the story of why Batman became necessary. We begin with the murder of Bruce Wayne’s parents, as per usual. Called in to investigate are Detectives James Gordon and Harvey Bullock. Gordon, played by Ben McKenzie, is young, noble and new to Gotham. He begins the investigation with good intentions. But as he looks deeper into the case, he’s pulled into a side of Gotham he may not be able to handle. The pilot introduces us
to a number of Gotham’s classic and most notorious villains. But we also meet a new player, Fish Mooney. Jada Pinkett Smith plays the role of Fish Mooney, a Gotham crime boss. She knows everything that happens on the dangerous streets of Gotham and is often consulted by the police when they hit a rough patch. Mooney may be new, but she isn’t to be taken lightly. She’s ruthless with a devil-may-care attitude and a killer manicure. But let’s face it: Gotham wouldn’t be complete without Batman, one way or another. The young Bruce Wayne is falling deeper into darkness, and “Gotham” gives us the chance to watch closely as he ages into the hero we know, without
making his transformation the focus. The production of “Gotham” was lovely. Producers kept the dark and gloomy aesthetic of the city. You won’t have to worry about any corny special effects for now. The sound design deserves a gold star. They managed to work in the moody theme music without making you want to roll your eyes. “Gotham” is heading down the road the superhero world is ready for. Every villain has a past, and we’re ready to explore them. “Gotham” shows promise that it’s going to take off and build momentum. It won’t have a problem hooking an audience and reeling it in. Lexia Banks
I’m not exactly sure what it means that I came out of “As Above, So Below” thinking, “It should have been worse.” Does it mean that horror movies these days are absolutely atrocious? Yes. But this movie advertised itself as being just as crappy as all of the other garbage horror movies of its day, so I think it just means that I was pleasantly surprised when it wasn’t actually awful. Don’t get me wrong, though. It’s not “good” by any stretch of the imagination. “As Above, So Below” focuses on the story of Scarlett, an explorerresearcher played by an annoyingly feigned and static Perdita Weeks, who’s following in her dead father’s footsteps. She’s searching for the philosopher’s stone (miss you, Harry), a stone thought to be able to perform alchemy, a stone she believes is buried with the body of alchemist Nicolas Flamel deep in the catacombs beneath Paris. Along with her trusty crew of French avantgarde catacomb explorers, cameraman and friend/ translator/ex-lover George, played by the strikingly handsome yet altogether under whelming Ben Feldman, Scarlett begins her burrow into off-limits areas of the catacombs. Things start getting
scarier and scarier the deeper into the descent, and the second act of the film is where “As Above, So Below” sets itself apart, albeit just slightly, from other recent terrible horror films. Director and coscreenwriter John Erick Dowdle nailed the atmosphere — one of the most important things to get right in a horror movie. During this middle half hour, the fear was palpable, the stakes were huge and the tension was 10 tons heavy. However, once members of the team start dying and the descent into hell begins, the movie starts to go with them. We feel little to no emotional attachment to the protagonist or any of the members of her team, so when the deaths start happening in tightly packed succession, it’s hard to really care. The claustrophobia becomes tiresome and much less frightening, the set pieces begin to feel contrived, and the movie loses sight of where exactly it’s going. None of the acting is anything worth noting, and the writing leaves quite a bit to be desired, but these things are both somewhat salvageable (in this genre at least). Add on a completely uncooked ending, and a movie that could have been something actually pretty cool became just another forgettable horror flop. At the end of the day, though, it really should have been worse. Ike Hajinazarian

Mathers Panel to discuss future in humanities By Anthony Broderick aebroder@indiana.edu | @aebrodakirck
Mathers Museum of World Cultures staff and other museum directors and curators will take part in a free public panel discussion 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Friday at the College Arts and Humanities Institute in Bloomington. The objective of the panel is to discuss current and future prospects for public humanities work in museums of ethnography and cultural history, according to the Mathers Museum website. “This is a very exciting time in this field with new technologies and new opportunities are emerging for students who are interested in pursuing studies or careers in museums and archives,” said Judy Kirk, assistant director of Mathers. “These speakers will share information about those aspects with audience members.” This will be a collaborative panel that will include representation from IU, Michigan State University and the University of Nebraska. The panelists will introduce themselves, and there will be a question and answer section. Topics that will be discussed include digital humanities, the changing status of curation and career preparation in the museum field. Panelists at this event will include IU faculty Jason Baird Jackson and Jon Kay and other out-of-state museum curators and directors, such as Marin Hanson, Marsha MacDowell and Mary Worrall. Jason Baird Jackson, director of Mathers, came up with the idea of this panel as a way to engage the IU museum in collaboration with other workshop scholars who were originally coming to Bloomington to work with the museum on a new project and grant proposal. “We wanted to create an opportunity for students and staff to make a connection with these workshop scholars,” Jackson said. “This is an opportunity to meet the scholars one on one.” Kurt Dewhurst, director of arts and cultural initiatives at Michigan State University and a panelist at the event, will share Michigan State University’s experience with its museum’s global collaborative partnerships. Topics he will cover include the museum’s ongoing folk life and intangible

cultural heritage work with Chinese museum colleagues, Chinese-American communities and tradition-bearers in Michigan. “By opening up the dialogue to invite community participation, we anticipate a richer series of outcomes, as well as conveying our desire to share more information on the emerging plans for collaborative research, documentation and presentation of our work,” Dewhurst said. This will enable us to build a deeper understanding of Chinese cultures and the emerging Chinese-American forms of culture, he said. Audience members should expect an introduction to the topic of humanities as well as the museum’s progress on its partnership with museums in China, Dewhurst said. “Given the growing economic and cultural connections between the U.S. and China, there is much for us to learn by carefully listening to one another and also co-creating true international partnerships that focus on expressive culture,” Dewhurst said. The College Arts and Humanities Institute will fund the discussion through the Global Midwest initiative of the Humanities Without Walls consortium. The panel is free to attend and is geared toward students who are aiming to get involved in the humanities field. “The panel is worthwhile, since now is the time of change in museums,” Jackson said. “Students are eager in the careers in the humanity field, and this discussion should help them learn what’s happening and how they can get involved.”

Ghana exhibit opens Friday By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino
In the upper east region of Ghana, women gather together in celebration, singing, dancing, sharing meals and working together, all to paint walls. The women, generally not well represented in art, are able to express themselves and create masterpieces during the hottest season of the year. Brittany Sheldon, IU art history and African studies doctoral candidate, will open her photography exhibit of these walls, titled “State of an Art: Women’s Wall Paintings,” at the Mathers Museum of World Cultures on Friday. “They take real pride in their work,” Sheldon said. Sheldon said she chose to research this topic more than three years ago, and after four trips to Ghana, she compiled a plethora of research, as well as a photography exhibit. “This is the product of my dissertation research,” she said. Sheldon’s exhibit will be in the museum for the entire academic year. “I think it’s really striking art,” Sheldon said. The exhibit features photographs from her dissertation field research on murals by women in Ghana’s Upper East Region. In 2013, Sheldon said she worked with the museum to create the first version of the exhibit, which was later donated to the national museum in Ghana.

dents came in with limited knowledge of the subject. They only seemed to know about Africa’s disease, war and poverty. “Not much at all has been published about this in actual book form,” she said. For this reason, Sheldon said she wants to spread knowledge about the art
created in Africa, as well as the women behind it. A reception for the show will take place at 4:30 p.m. Friday, where Sheldon will give a presentation on the show and her research. Sheldon said she is grateful for the help she received from research assistants, mentors and the women who allowed her a
glimpse into their lives. “They have a lot of fun while they’re doing it,” she said of the women she observed and photographed. She said she hopes this will be a way to bring new cultural experiences to the audience. “I’d like people to know more about other parts of the world,” she said.

‘V’ is simply very mediocre “V” Review C I miss my childhood. The days when my dad would turn on the radio and I’d get to hear classic jams such as “Sunday Morning” and “Harder to Breathe.” That was Maroon 5 in the band’s heyday. We’re never going to get that back. That’s understandable — bands will always have a peak — and Maroon 5’s was “Songs About Jane.” That age of the band’s history created just wonderful pop music, kind of raw, not too overproduced and ballsy. Paired with Adam Levine’s unbelievably sexy voice, it was a tour de force. But since then, Maroon 5 has changed. They’ve become too big to know what to do with themselves, and their music has reflected it. It’s so heavily produced and factory-pressed that the listener is left to wonder if there really is a band making the music on instruments at all. Maroon 5’s “V” is good. It’s not excellent. It’s not spellbinding, capturing or revolutionary, and it is not the band in its top form. But it’s good. One of the biggest problems of this record is that it’s just so tired. Maroon 5 shows its age
so distinctly by adding on an absolutely wonderful cover of “Sex and Candy” at the end of the album. Let me explain. It’s not that the band’s performance is bad on this album — just listen to the beauty of the power-ballad duet with Gwen Stefani, “My Heart Is Open.” It’s that, for the most part, the songs’ writing just shows a complete lack of care. That’s why, after listening to an entire album of textbook-written pop songs, the direct transition into a beautifully and creatively written song such as “Sex and Candy” shows just how far the band’s writing has slipped. There are some good songs on this album: the totally radio-ready “Maps” and the synth-poppy “It Was Always You,” to name a couple. The album also has a little treat at the very end for the listener: Adam Levine’s absolutely kick ass “Lost Stars” from the film “Begin Again.” All in all, though, Maroon 5 has left us with some OK pop music, aching for the days when its music was full of passion and good energy. It’s not their worst, but it’s definitely not their best. This review was based on the Deluxe Edition of “V.” Ike Hajinazarian

Dan Coleman is a concert promoter who works through his company, Spirit of ’68 Promotions, which brings bands to local Bloomington venues. Along with being a customer, Coleman does business with Landlocked. The store serves as an outlet for tickets to shows he’s promoting at various local establishments as well as giving space to advertise for those shows. “They’re a central hub for people to find out about what

music is going on in town if you can’t walk through campus and maybe see a flier,” Coleman said. Landlocked is a place customers can come to and see when a certain band is coming to town and buy that band’s album at the same time, all in the same place, Coleman said. Facilitating discovery Landlocked Music doesn’t work in the same way that iTunes or even Best Buy does, but that’s not a problem because it’s not necessarily trying to. Nickey and the staff at Landlocked work closely with customers to figure out what it is they’ll enjoy listening to. “Everyone’s sort of locked in to what they already like. They’ve been sort of pigeonclosed doors. Make more time for love today and tomorrow. Prioritize fun, games and delicious flavors. A female provides the sugar. Nurture a personal dream. Do it for home and family. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Get something nice for the family to beautify your nest. Mend your safety net. Get expert feedback. Emotions increase at home.

holed. And I’m trying to, like, sort of break out of that,” Nickey said. Sometimes, the staff accomplishes that goal by asking what the customer likes and going off of that — other times, it’s just by playing music in the store the customers may have not heard yet. “Many times I’ve walked in and just heard a record and bought it on the spot,” Coleman said. Other times, Nickey leaves it to the store that he curates in its purposeful randomness to steer the customer to uncharted territories. “It’s those accidental discoveries — you pick up a record, and it’s something that strikes your imagination, and you might not know anything about it,” Nickey said. Another way Landlocked
differentiates itself from online music stores is in its close relationship with customers. Nickey says he’s been selling records to some customers since 1995. “I know when I order records sometimes exactly who’s going to buy them,” Nickey said. “Like the name, the person — I can almost just put it aside for them.” Even though physical media sales may be on the decline — 13 percent from 2012 to 2013, according to Nielsen and Billboard — Landlocked and local record stores in general will be able to do some things that their Goliath-sized competitors won’t. “I’m trying to create a place for discovery that isn’t so deterministic, that has a little bit more mystery to it,” Nickey said.

as fast-paced as the traffic around me. That’s the way to school. On my way home at 5 p.m., it was even busier, and there was a 20-minute line before I could board. The ride took even longer because we got stuck in traffic, at a standstill for way too long. I got off at the bus park near my homestay, but I still had another 15-minute walk back — downhill this time. Instead of winding down, people seem to get more animated. Music plays and people try to sell clothes and shoes on the side of the road. Even in the late evening, I still could hear the remnants of a busy day. Neighbors chatting, children shrieking, people preparing meals outside. I wondered if this city is ever truly quiet. And then, late at night, when everyone had gone to bed, there was a break. Crickets are chirping. There is no talking. There is no honking. All is quiet.
of town. My first bus ride in Kigali was cramped, smelly and bumpy. I tried not to sit on top of my neighbor, but that seemed to be the norm. Being “muzungu” — a white person — doesn’t help me go unnoticed. I was the only white person on the bus. Rwandans are not used to seeing people like me. It was very uncomfortable to have a bus full of people staring at you, knowing that there’s no way you could be confused as a Rwandan. But I pretend anyway. I pretend like I’m just part of the normal crowd when in reality I’m experiencing something new and unusual every second. As the bus chugs along, emitting exhaust and speeding through the streets, I look at the guy with the saw, the rushing businessmen with their briefcases or the women with babies strapped to their backs.

States. Kigali buses are packed to the brim, with an additional seat folding out into the aisle when the bus is in motion. Bus parks contain a dozen or so buses weaving in and out, coming dangerously close to hitting each other. The scene is chaotic even early in the morning, with many people bustling about, trying to get to their correct bus. The buses are not numbered or labeled in any way, so in their replacement, a worker just hangs off of side, shouting its destination to passersby. My first day taking the bus, all I could do was say the name of my school’s sector, “Kacyiru? Kacyiru? Kacyiru?” over and over again. This is not a foolproof system.

‘1776’ to open Cardinal Stage Company season 1969 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Book, “1776” focuses on the second Continental Congress and the passionate debates about whether the American colonies should declare independence from King George and Great Britain. Randy White, who serves as the artistic director for the Cardinal Stage Company production, said he is thrilled to open the season with this production and that he thinks this show will entice and educate incoming audience members. “Viewers will be surprised with how funny this production is,” White said. “‘1776’ is engaging and humanized, featuring songs that should have familiarity with audience members.” One Bloomington resident said she is looking forward to this classic production being brought to life on stage. “This is one of my favorite shows since it is so wellwritten and a great way to learn some history,” said Karen Danvers of Bloomington. “The way the Declaration of Independence signing is presented and performed is so well done. I am really excited to see this adaptation.”

The signing of the Declaration of Independence will be brought to life at 7 p.m. tonight. Notable figures such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin will be presented on stage in a comedic musical to open at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. The Cardinal Stage Company will debut its first production of the fall season with the musical “1776.” Labeled “America’s Favorite Musical” by the company’s website, the production of “1776” will last until Sept. 13. “Randy White selects the full season and selects a theme for the season,” Cardinal Board Member Jan Skinner said. “‘1776’ opens the season with a historical comedic musical starring 23 talented male voices and two beautiful female voices on the Buskirk-Chumley Theater stage.” Tickets can be purchased online at the company’s website, cardinalstage.org, or in person at its main location at 900 S. Walnut St. A five-time winner at the
“This is one of my favorite shows since it is so wellwritten and a great way to learn some history. The way the Declaration of Independence signing is presented and performed is so well done.” Karen Danvers, Bloomington resident
The production features a variety of actors, including actors who regularly act in the company. The main cast features Mark Goetzinger as Ben Franklin, Rob Johansen as John Dickinson and Mike Price as John Adams. There will be newcomers, as well, including Bloomington High School Choral Director Sarah Miller as Abigail Adams. “The group is the best I have ever worked,” White said. “They are very delightful to work with given how strong and funny they are.
