Inside Dunn Cemetery there’s only one gravestone with a colorful ceramic planter behind it. A Lego creation and a sea shell sit on top of the stone. It’s quiet inside the tiny cemetery in the middle of campus, passersby are blocked off from the 30 gravestones or so by a perimeter of stacked limestone.

Almost 2,000 miles away from the still cemetery, Craig Medlyn rests at the summit of Mount Shasta in California.

He’s climbed to an elevation of 14,179 feet with a guide and a team of climbers for four days through heavy snow. He’s climbed there in the memory of one name, the name on the gravestone in Dunn Cemetery.

Archie Miller lands three recruits From IDS reports

The wait for the first commitments of the Archie Miller era is over.

Over the course of less than 24 hours, Miller landed three commitments of players ranked in the top-100 by recruiting rankings.

Sunday night, Race Thompson became Miller’s first recruit to commit since he took over in March.

The four-star forward from Minnesota decided to reclassify from the 2018 to the 2017 class and will redshirt next season for the Hoosiers. He will take the 13th and final scholarship for the 2017-2018 Hoosiers. Thompson is a big man who was ranked as the No. 71 prospect

by Scout.com for the 2018 class before reclassifying.

The first two commitments for the class of 2018 came Tuesday with Jerome Hunter deciding he wanted to become a Hoosier. The Ohio native is the No. 60 ranked player in the class by 247Sports and is a small forward.

“I truly appreciate all the schools that have recruited me, the relationships with coaching staffs and everyone who (has) supported me to this point,” Hunter said in a message posted on his Twitter account. “After long consideration and talks with my family I’ve

decided to commit to Indiana University.”

Damezi Anderson was the second commitment for the Hoosiers Tuesday as Miller’s inside-out recruiting approach began to took root. The small forward is Miller’s first recruit from Indiana as Anderson is a senior at James Whitcomb

Riley High School in South Bend.

He is currently ranked as the No. 82 prospect by Scout.com.

The 2018 class could potentially have five players in it with the Hoosiers slated to have five seniors Collin Hartman, Rob Johnson, Josh Newkirk, Tim Priller and Freddie McSwain Jr. - graduate following

the 2017-2018 season.

With Hunter and Anderson in the fold, IU vaulted up the 247Sports 2018 team recruiting rankings nationally, going from unranked to fourth, one spot behind Notre Dame.

CLASS brings analytics to classrooms From IDS Reports

George Rehrey imagines a future where IU students will have more than academic advisers to inform their academic decisions. They’ll also have learning analytics, which are data about learners in their environments, to optimize their education experiences.

Rehrey is the director of the Center for Learning Analytics and Student Success, a new center that’s part of the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education.

CLASS is working to unite IU students, professors and administrators with research in learning analytics.

CLASS grew out of the Student Learning Analytics Fellows Program, which funds faculty-led research projects that use learning analytics to promote student engagement and retention at IU. So far, CLASS has analyzed 3.2 million data points on 150,000 students. Currently, it has 29 different research programs run by faculty members, ranging from the STEM fields to the arts and humanties.

“The need came about because it’s a very complicated task that involves many different organizations and individuals,” Rehrey said. “The Center is a collaborative space with many different projects going on.”

CLASS draws on data left by students as they engage with the University throughout their time in school.

“From the day the student sends in their application until years after they leave the University, they’re leaving a data trail,” he said.

Rehrey looks at the data sets used by CLASS in four broad categories. Student demographics ask questions about the ethnicity, class standing and age of students.

The category of student preparation asks questions about what transfer credits students come in with or what remedial courses they need.

The student performance category addresses GPA and graduation rates. Student choice considers how students move along their path to graduation, like why they choose the majors they choose and why they decide to switch majors.

And although IU is large and diverse, the data that CLASS uses can be narrowed down to study smaller groups of students, like first-generation students or students from Indiana. Having a large student population to study is actually helpful, Rehrey said.

“This is relatively new in terms of big data because the data was never really available before because it gets kept in all these different places,” he said.

Previously, information about students’ housing decisions, club participation and grades was scattered across campus. Groups like the Bloomington Assessment and Research have united all that information in one place, allowing CLASS to conduct its research.

Using learning analytics, professors could better understand the group of students they’re teaching.

Learning analytics could help identify early warning signs for students, so they can seek help when they most need it.

“The ultimate goal is to help students pick majors in a timely fashion and then stay in school - because we have a lot of students drop out - and then graduate on time,” he said.

For instance, a student could approach their academic advisor about taking a class in the fall. If the student knows that only 40 percent of students who take the class graduate on time, they might reconsider taking the class.

“The idea is to move from anecdotal storytelling to actually using solid evidence to make decisions,” he said. “The student can then make an informed decision.”

He mentioned Netflix and Amazon and the algorithms they use to recommend a new movie or products to users.

The same strategies are at

play for learning analytics and academic advising, he said.

Although there are similar centers to CLASS, like at the University of Michigan or Georgia State University, those centers tend to use a top-down approach that don’t include the faculty population, Rehrey said.

Sometimes, other centers use outside vendors that are hired to go into universities to complete research. By contrast, CLASS uses its own resources with its own staff on campus.

“Ours is a very grassroots type of learning analytics,” he said. “There’s this notion that faculty are some of the people to be doing this work because they’re constantly working with the students. At a university, the faculty are at the core of the decisions that get made about what a student is studying and doing for a major.”

IU professor to be American Chemical Society fellow From IDS Reports

Dennis G. Peters, the Herman T. Briscoe Professor of Chemistry, was named a fellow of the American Chemical Society Monday.

Pratibha Varma-Nelson, a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at IUPUI, was also named a fellow, according to an IU press release.

Sixty-five individuals are chosen to join the American Chemical Society each year. Peters and VarmaNelson will be honored during the society’s 254th National Meeting and Exposition. The ceremony and reception will take place in

Washington, D.C. on August 21.

Peters, an analytics chemist and member of the IU faculty since 1962, researches the electrochemical behavior of materials that contain halogen atoms.

Peters has served as the associate chair, graduate adviser, director of general chemistry and coordinator of graduate studies for the Department of Chemistry.

He was also the adviser for the Master of Arts for Teachers program.

While at IU, Peters has received four Trustee Teaching Awards since 2003, an IU Distinguished Service Award in 2005 and the W. George Pinnel Award

for Outstanding Service at IU in 2006.

Peters coauthored five undergraduDennis ate textbooks Peters on analytical chemistry. He has authored or co-authored more than 210 research articles.

Varma-Nelson served as the executive director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis.

She has also researched chemistry in face-to-face and online learning environments. The National Science Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foun-

dation have supported her works.

She is the founding executive Pratibha director of Varmathe STEM Nelson Education Innovation and Research Institute.

The American Chemical Society provides access to chemistry-related information and research through multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences. The non-for-profit organization was chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1876.

Until recently, there has been no long-term study of domestic violence in Monroe County. But on July 12 the Monroe County Domestic Violence Coalition took the steps towards changing that by publishing its first report of statistics on the state of domestic violence in Monroe County.

“They’ve never been compiled before,” said Michael Shermis, the special projects coordinator in the Department of Community and Family Resources. “This is a first time effort to really determine how much of an issue domestic violence is in our community.”

In the report, the MCDVC published both statistics compiled from local organizations and a flowchart of how domestic violence reports are processed through the Monroe County legal system.

“Survivors of domestic violence find the legal process rather confusing and it’s always been very hard to explain how to go through the process,” he said. “It’s different for each person, different in each county. If there’s a visual, it shows the connections between all the agencies.”

Multiple investigating agencies first respond to a report, including the Bloomington Police Department, Monroe County Sheriff ’s Department, Ellettsville Police Department, IU Police Department and the Indiana State Police.

Then, the report moves to the Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office, which determines if the charge can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Charges are then filed against the alleged perpetrator. Only then does the alleged perpetrator proceed to an initial hearing and pretrial conference, which will result in a number of case resolutions.

Shermis said he hopes that the chart will be used in training for volunteers who work with domestic violence survivors. The goal, he said, is for domestic violence survivors to have a clear idea of where a perpetrator is in the system and how that system works.

The statistics and flowchart in the report will provide domestic violence survivors with resources to inform their decision-making.

“Explaining it to someone who’s going through domestic violence and looking at it

is going to be a lot better,” said Heather Davis, a legal advocate at Middle Way House.

“They can understand what options they have.”

In 2016, 50 new cases were received between October and December, which were made up of 28 felonies and 22 misdemeanors. Of the cases processed in that period, 65 percent pleaded guilty to a domestic violence case. Twenty-two percent of the cases were dismissed, according to the report.

Although the report was a collaboration with local government and law enforcement agencies, social services agencies, like Middle Way House, contributed.

Middle Way House offers a 24-hour crisis line, emergency shelter and legal advocacy to anyone who has experienced domestic abuse, human trafficking or sexual abuse.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, it provided legal advocacy to 98 people and housed 61 people in its shelters, according to the report.

Publishing the report wasn’t without its challenges, Shermis said.

“It was definitely challenging,” he said. “People are really leery about not wanting to understate the problem.”

Confidentiality and restrictions by the state on releasing information can also complicate matters.

However, Shermis said he hopes in the future there will be a report for every quarter to give the results more context.

“I think that it brings more awareness to Monroe County about domestic violence,” Davis said.

The Monroe County Domestic Violence Coalition was initially a task force and existed for more than 10 years before becoming a coalition.

The 15 coalition members meet on the third Friday of each month. There are currently 15 partners involved in the coalition At the meetings, the participating organizations share what they’ve been working on to make everyone in the coalition aware of available resources.

“The coalition is an attempt to make sure that we’re all working together,” Shermis said. “The more organizations that are working on the problem, being aware of other resources, the better. Those connections being made are so relevant to strengthening an understanding of what the problem is.”

Speck Mellencamp arrested on two charges From IDS Reports

Speck Mellencamp was arrested by Bloomington Police Department officers early Sunday morning on charges of resisting law enforcement and public intoxication.

Mellencamp, 22, was arrested at 3 a.m. Sunday morning on the corner of Kirkwood and Dunn avenues outside Jimmy John’s, according to a BPD report.

Mellencamp is the son of musician John Mellencamp, who lives in the Bloomington

area.

Speck Mellencamp paid $2,000 bail and was released Sunday.

Mellencamp’s pre-trial conference has been set for September 6, according to the police report.

Mellencamp was previously sentenced in 2015 for battery, a felony, after a July 2013 fight. He served four days in the Monroe County Jail and was placed on probation for 364 days, according to the police report.

TRACK AND FIELD

Helmer’s recruiting yields solid 2017 class

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

Earlier this month, IU track and field head coach Ron Helmer announced his 2017 class of commitments. The 17-member class consisted of eight women and nine men.

The 2017 class of incoming Hoosiers seems rather small at first glance, but Helmer said he isn’t concerned with the amount athletes joining the team this season.

“We probably cut back a little,” Helmer said. “There’s been years we’ve brought in more, but it’s a good, solid class in terms of numbers.”

The Hoosiers already had a young core in place last season and adding another talented class could help IU continue to grow as a team.

Helmer said he looks for more traits in the recruits than just their skills as a runner or in the field.

“You have to like the person,” Helmer said. “Beyond that, what we hope we are getting, are people that want to get better, people that have the desire to do the work to become better and people who really love the challenge of competing at a high level.”

Helmer stressed the importance of wanting to compete all last season and claims his best athletes are the ones who have that characteristic in them.

“That’s hard sometimes because high school guys can be very good,” Helmer said. “They can even be state champions, but they’ve never lined up against people they’ll see at the collegiate level.

What you hope is the work ethic is there because it will serve them well in the classroom too.”

Once a recruit is selected

by the staff, the process to get that student to IU can be very challenging and time consuming. This process first involves one of the coaches getting to know the athlete through an in-home visit.

“The coaches have communicated with them for about a year or more,” Helmer said. “Then we go and see them run before bringing them on campus for an official visit. Obviously we are limited in what we can do, but we try to maximize everything we can do to get to know what they’re all about and get them comfortable with us.”

When a recruit finally makes it to campus Helmer and the rest of the staff can begin pitching why IU is such a good a fit for their future athletes. Helmer believes IU has an abundant amount of assets to draw potential Hoosiers in.

“Bloomington is a great college town,” Helmer said.

“We are a Big Ten school and have plenty of programs for kids who are motivated to do well academically. In track and field, our facilities are second to none, but the biggest thing is that we are going to give them a chance to be a good as they can possibly be.

I think people just want to know that they can have the chance to chase their dreams.”

Not all freshman get a chance to shine right away. In the sport of track and field, it can often take time to get athletes to their full potential because most kids are still growing and developing physically.

Helmer said he enjoys getting a head start when it comes to seeing where his young athletes are at as far as training goes.

“It’s fairly systematic,” Helmer said. “They’ve all got workout plans that their

coaches have sent to them.

They need to be doing that and getting prepared so that it’s not a total shock when they get here. Then we keep in mind they are freshman, but we ask them to jump right in and give it their all.”

It’s not uncommon for freshman to be given a redshirt in their first year. This allows the athlete to properly adjust to their new highpaced life of being a studentathlete.

Just like classes and homework tend to get harder in college, the average training regimen becomes more advanced as well. Helmer said his athletes always have someone to go to for help adapting to life as a college athlete.

“There’s times where upperclassmen are really helpful in that process,” Helmer said.

“The key thing once they get on campus is communication. If they have a question, all they have to do is ask. They need to realize that there are a lot of people who want to help them be successful and they will point them in the right direction and to the right people.”

Whether the incoming athletes are redshirted or end up contributing immediately, Helmer said he’s more than excited about the class coming in.

“Both the men and women brought in really good classes,” Helmer said. “The place we probably didn’t hit really hard was the distance and middle-distance runners.

If you look at this group, we cover a lot of areas with some high-talent kids.”

The 2017 class has four athletes ranked within the top 10 in their respective event in the country. The group as a whole is responsible for a

total of 19 state championships throughout their high school careers.

Three athletes from Ohio highlight the 2017 class on the women’s side.

Anna Watson is a two-time state champion and ranked No. 3 in the nation among pole vaulters. Maddie Pollard is another field athlete who won a total of five state championships and ranks inside the top 20 in the discus, hammer and shot put. Natalie Price was a four-time state champion in the 400m dash and ranks No. 7 with a best time of 52.93.

The Hoosiers also added

Zykeria Williams who was the 2017 All-Middle Georgia Athlete of the Year. She is a threetime state champion who competes in the 400m, 200m, 100m hurdles and long jump.

Nick Lane is the only incoming male recruit to win multiple state championships in high school. The four-time champion is ranked No. 6 in the hammer throw and No. 4 in the weight throw. He finished fifth in the hammer at both the New Balance Outdoor Nationals as well as the USATF Junior National Meet in 2017.

IU’s other state champion on the men’s side is a high

jumper from the Bahamas.

Jyles Etienne was the 2016 New York State Champion. He finished second at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals in 2016 and fourth in 2017.

Each athlete transitions at their own pace, but Helmer said he is hopeful that some of these recruits are good enough to make a difference as soon as next season.

“Knowing how to win is important,” Helmer said.

It’s critical and they are wired to learn how to do that. It may take them a year to get ready in the Big Ten, but we’d hope they would eventually contribute.”

MEN’S SOCCER

Thompson brothers start soccer camps for the youth From IDS reports

Former IU midfielder Tanner Thompson is off and running with his pro career after four successful years with the IU men’s soccer program.

Thompson, a midfielder for Indy Eleven of the North American Soccer League, is now looking to spread his knowledge of the game of soccer. Tanner, along with his brother Tommy, have started ‘TT Skillz Soccer Camps,’ aimed at teaching the “beautiful game” to kids who will make up the next generation of soccer in America.

The inaugural camp will partner with the Noblesville United Soccer Club and will last two days on July 27 and July 28 in Noblesville, Indiana, from 5 to 8 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on both days.

“My brother Tommy and I are starting our own brand of camps in Indianapolis and Sacramento respectively,” Thompson said in a Twitter message. “We look forward to building our brand and passing our passion for soccer onto the youth soccer players in our community.”

The first edition of the camp in Noblesville will feature staff and current Indy

Eleven players such as Daniel Keller, David Goldsmith, Christian Lomeli and, of course, Tanner Thompson.

All four of these players have Indiana ties with Keller being from Carmel, Indiana, Goldsmith having played for Butler, and Lomeli and Thompson having played for IU. The Thompsons hope to eventually have future camps in Sacramento, California, where they grew up. Tommy, who also attended and played at IU, currently plays for the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer. The Thompson family has now had two

generations of players compete for the Hoosiers as both Tanner and Tommy followed in their father’s footsteps.

“I coached many camps under Coach [Todd] Yeagley at IU during my time there,” Tanner said. “My father, Gregg Thompson is a 1984 Olympian soccer player and has done soccer camps over the last 30 years.”

If interested in signing up for the camp, you can follow their Twitter page at @ttskillzsoccer or visit them directly at www.t2soccer.com. Tanner also is offering individual training.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Will Archie Miller’s burst fizzle out after flurry of commits?

There’s a cliche that sportswriters, and writers in general, use to describe sudden fame. It’s called “bursting onto the scene.” Let’s talk bursting onto the scene.

Tiger Woods burst onto the Professional Golfers’ Association scene by becoming the youngest golfer to win the Masters in 1997.

Mike Trout burst onto the Major League Baseball scene in 2012 by batting .326 for a Rookie of the Year Award and a runner-up finish in the American League MVP race.

IU’s own Yogi Ferrell burst onto the NBA scene after signing a 10-day contract with the Dallas Mavericks by tying a rookie record for nine 3-pointers made against the Portland Trailblazers.

These are some of the best examples of “bursting onto the scene” in sports.

The next one is IU head men’s basketball coach Archie Miller, who earned three four-star commitments in 20 hours between Sunday and Monday — his first true commitments during his tenure in Bloomington.

The excitement in the fanbase for the former Dayton coach has been unmatched

this offseason after Miller stood in Assembly Hall for his introduction and promised stronger efforts in recruiting the state of Indiana.

That excitement swelled even larger Monday, when Indiana’s No. 3 2018 recruit Damezi Anderson became one of three national Top-100 players to commit to IU. Finally, one of Indiana’s top prospects in the front court. The last the program had seen was Indiana’s No. 4 2012 recruit Jeremy Hollowell, who came to Bloomington with high expectations and failed to meet them.

The commitment came in quickly and shortly after Minnesota’s third-best 2017 recruit Race Thompson announced his commitment to the Hoosiers Sunday night.

Then, when one would assume the news would end with Anderson, Ohio’s No. 2 2018 recruit Jerome Hunter — 247Sports’ 60th-best player in the nation, the highest of the three — declared his commitment as well.

They are all 6-foot-6 to 6-foot-8 players who can transform the IU roster into the most positionless group the program has seen recently. They can all find different ways to drive, score and

defend. And they all committed to Archie Miller, who hasn’t coached a game as IU’s head basketball coach to date.

By not only rallying the IU fanbase during his introduction as the new head basketball coach of a program that hasn’t seen a national championship since 1987, but also maintaining the young talent on the roster after Tom Crean’s departure — Devonte Green, Curtis Jones, DeRon Davis, etc. — and somehow opening the door for Collin Hartman to return, Miller really has burst onto the scene and exceeded all reasonable expectations.

Also, Big Ten foes, Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa and Minnesota have all landed recruits of higher caliber than Anderson, Hunter and Thompson, just not in such succession.

So, will this burst continue into more commitments and the excitement that is Hoosier Hysteria and finally onto the court? I say yes.

For now, though, just enjoy the burst. trlehman@umail.iu.edu

Why Romero’s “Living Dead” films shamble on

W

henever somebody famous dies, there’s almost always a cultural rediscovery of their work as the living shamble en masse to consume whatever art they created.

It’s a collective grieving process as much as it is a way to memorialize the departed and prove to ourselves that art can transcend death.

George A. Romero, father of the modern zombie movie, died July 16, in Toronto. His death followed “a brief but aggressive battle with lung cancer,” his family said in a statement. He was 77.

In the hours and days following his passing, what we’ve seen hasn’t been so much a rediscovery of his films, which include 1968’s “Night of the Living Dead” and 1978’s “Dawn of the Dead,” but the continuation of an ongoing cultural fascination with zombies.

With shows like AMC’s “The Walking Dead” and blockbusters like 2013’s “World War Z” dominating television and film today, we’re only now starting to see the pay-off of Romero’s work.

Even though he practically invented anatomically-correct gore, the most vital bits of Romero’s films have always been their brainy and ever-mutating subtext.

His films helped the zombie movie shamble beyond the drive-in circuit because his take on the undead — slow-moving, brain-dead and all-consuming — is an endlessly rich allegory for American life.

The US was three years into the Vietnam War when Romero shot his black and white debut outside of

Bryan Brussee is a senior in journalism.

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

David Emge plays a zombified helicopter pilot in “Dawn of the Dead” (1978), Romero’s second film.

Pittsburgh on a budget of $114,000.

One of the first dominant visuals following the opening credits of “Night of the Living Dead” is an American flag waving in the graveyard as the siblings Barbara and Johnny Blair pass through to lay flowers at their father’s grave. America and its body count was on Romero’s mind, and his zombies — the first of which stumbles along as the Blairs are heading back to their car —

look a lot like us.

“I took them out of ‘exotica’ and made them neighbors,” Romero told NPR of his approach to the monster in 2014.

It was also a time of domestic unrest, with race riots raging in cities across the country. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis while Romero was driving across the East Coast with a copy of the film

in his trunk, searching for a distributor to hand-deliver it to. At the film’s conclusion, Ben — played by Duane Jones — a survivor and one of the first black men in a starring role that wasn’t specifically written for a black man, is killed by a white deputy mistaking him for a zombie It was an era of arbitrary and senseless violence, and the boogey-men responsible were neighbors and politicians. In some ways the world was a different place in 1968, and in other ways it wasn’t that much different from today.

Romero’s next film, “Dawn of the Dead” would go on to critique capitalism. The zombies of the first film, generally dressed in funeral clothes and presumably fresh-out of the grave, were replaced by “everyman” zombies clad in street clothes and drawn even in death to the places that mattered most to them in life, in this case, a shopping mall.

As mindless violence dealt the final death blow in “Night of the Living Dead”, it’s the infighting among the mall’s survivors after they’ve already run the zombies out that’s their ultimate undoing. Roger Ebert, who’d been disturbed by the first film’s violence, called its sequel “one of the best horror films ever made” in his Chicago-Sun Times review.

The rest of Romero’s films, released about once every 10 years, would use their undead hordes to critique other SEE ROMERO, PAGE 6

» ROMERO

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 aspects of American life. 1985’s “Day of the Dead” was a scathing indictment of Cold War militarism, and Romero’s 2000s trilogy added a modern twist to the themes explored in his previous work.

Romero’s last “Living Dead” project was the 2014 Marvel comic book series “Empire of the Dead,” which introduced vampiric politicians. Even though he’d been discouraged by Hollywood’s increasing reluctance to finance his small budget zombie films, Romero never lost his black sense of humor.

In his Hollwyood absence, a new breed of director rose up to reinvent the genre for different times. Danny Boyle’s 2002 film “28 Days Later” fed on anxieties over biological warfare and the SARS outbreak in China earlier that year.

AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” an adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s comic book series, uses its characters to examine our fundamentally violent Id and broadcasts the results to 18.8 million viewers with each episode, as it did on average in 2016 according to Nielsen.

Sometimes it feels like zombies are so popular that if an outbreak actually happened, we’d all be pretty wellprepared with the requisite chainsaws, sawed-off shotguns and crowbars.

Which begs the question, with zombies more popular than they’ve ever been, what do they mean to us now?

There’s an answer that think pieces and YouTube blogs point to over and over again, and it goes like this: Zombies are dumb, and they mindlessly follow the horde. They don’t so much think as react to whatever is in front of them, and they move slowly and clumsily.

If you’ve ever found yourself bumping into something while walking and looking at your smart phone,

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

Duane Jones and Judith O’Dea star in “Night of the Living Dead” (1968).

“Battling zombies is like battling anything... or everything.”

Chuck Klosterman, writer

you see where I’m going with this.

Mike Rugnetta, who runs YouTube’s PBS Idea Channel, makes the argument that zombies might represent a fear of losing ourselves completely to

technology, and he’s just one of many in the hive-mind.

There’s an interesting flipside to that argument. The survivors of a zombie apocalypse could also represent us in

the wake of massive technological upheaval.

Chuck Klosterman, writing for the New York Times, makes the argument that getting through daily life not is unlike struggling to survive a zombie apocalypse.

“Battling zombies is like battling anything ... or everything,” he writes, and while that’s a bit vague, it also makes complete sense.

Sometimes working a job can feel like conquering a never-ending onslaught of individually manageable but collectively insurmountable tasks; surviving a zombie apocalypse mostly involves killing one slow-moving, easily bludgeoned zombie in an otherwise unstoppable horde after the other. In both cases, it’s the bigger picture that’s overwhelming and the individual tasks that are mind numbing.

Released in 2004, this is what Edgar Wright’s “Shaun of the Dead” understands. One of the few new zombie movies that Romero enjoyed, it mixes legitimate gut-spilling horror with droll comedy to explore how actual people familiar with zombies would react.

We’d try to find to our loved ones, and we’d probably do anything to survive, even if that meant slinging slabs of Prince vinyl at backyard zombies.

It predated the era of smart phones, but it paints a picture of the zombie apocalypse that’s still completely relatable. “Shaun’s” zombies are scary, but also not completely unmanageable. At times killing them is just a chore. They represent modernity.

Or maybe that’s overthinking it.

Maybe without the clear symbolism Romero animated them with, zombies, in all their corpse-y glory, might just represent our oldest fear: death — that elemental force that shambles slowly but surely after everyone.

We’ve lost a profound talent in George Romero. But his vision lives. bbrussee@umail.iu.edu @BryanBrussee

Going medieval on “Thrones”

By Bryan Brussee bbrussee@umail.iu.edu @BryanBrussee

“Game of Thrones” is back on HBO, and while it’s narrative has caught up with George R.R. Martin’s “Song of Ice and Fire” novels, it still has roots in the same medieval history and literature that’s proved so influential to Martin. Weekend caught up with Professor Rosemarie McGerr, the director of IU’s Medieval Studies Institute, to discuss the characteristics of that period’s literature.

“Game of Thrones” deals with these huge ideas about who should hold political power and how to govern a nation. How did medieval literature discuss politics?

Medieval literature discussed politics in several ways. Some forms of medieval literature discussed political power and issues related to governing directly. These works discuss things like the education of kings, the importance of good laws for upholding justice and preventing tyranny, and the importance of choosing trustworthy counselors, as well as practical considerations in waging war. These works were primarily theoretical but often included examples of good and bad leaders from past history, classical literature or the Bible.

Sometimes these history books included information that was more legend than fact, such as Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Latin “History of the Kings of Britain,” which includes the first “biography” of King Arthur. This depiction of kingship aimed to impress the Norman nobility who had won rule of Britain by defeating the English in 1066 but did not know much about the British people.

Most later tales about King Arthur focus less on the beginning or end of his kingship, but depict events during his kingship that indirectly examine issues of governance within his realm. Each time a new medieval author produced a tale about King Arthur, the new tale reflected concerns about how kings maintain peace and justice in the time and place the author was working, and that process of revising tales about King Arthur continues to this day.

“Game of Thrones” tells all kinds of stories with its ensemble cast.

Is their a quintessential story in medieval literature?

I think there would be much debate about what could be called “the quintessential story in medieval literature”! What we think of as popular story structure now has a lot in common with basic story structure in medieval literature because they both reflect folktale patterns: a young hero, often with a secret past, faces a problem that endangers his future, so he travels in search of a solution and gains knowledge/powers/friends that help him overcome his opponents and win new identity and family or return home with security. Adventure stories in ancient and medieval literature that have supernatural elements have parallels with modern fantasy narratives.

A threat that looms over the characters in “Game of Thrones” is the coming of Winter, at which point all sorts of beasts and, uh, snow zombies will descend upon the kingdom. What role do monsters play in medieval literature?

What do monsters symbolically mean in it?

Monsters play several roles in medieval literature and so can have

different significances. What is a monster? Something unknown?

Something unnatural that human beings cannot explain? Something unfriendly in nature? A beast that is stronger than a human being?

A person who acts or looks like a beast?

There are also really interesting medieval tales that explore the boundaries between what is human and non-human. For example, in the German poem Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach, there is a woman many characters consider monstrous when they first see her because she has many beast-like physical characteristics, but she is extremely learned and she serves as a messenger for the community that cares for the Gral - later to become the Grail. When this character comes to King Arthur’s court to reveal that the handsome knight Parzival has failed in his task at the Gral castle, she tells him, “You think me monstrous, but you are more monstrous than I.” The poem also makes clear through another character that what might look like a monstrous external appearance is not as important as a person’s inner qualities.

I would imagine all of the incest and incredible violence in “Game of Thrones” has historical roots.

Can you tell me about the role violence and sex played in medieval literature?

Medieval literature has much more explicit scenes of violence than explicit scenes of sex. Descriptions of battles can get quite graphic, which probably does reflect the kinds of injuries that occurred in combat with swords and axes; but torture descriptions are found in narratives about the martyrdoms of male and female Christian saints - flaying, boiling in oil, cutting off

parts of bodies - and Christians were not being martyred in Europe when most of these tales were written down, so there is some question about whether the accounts reflect treatment of Christians elsewhere or Christian treatment of their enemies.

Sexual assault and incest are not usually depicted in detail in medieval literature, but there are references to abductions of women,

some of which might refer to sexual assault - the word for abduction in Latin is “raptus”. One famous tale of unknowing incest is - in some of the later stories - King Arthur’s affair with his half-sister before he marries Guinevere. In those versions of King Arthur’s life, this affair leads to the birth of Mordred.’

This interview was edited for content and clarity.

Sincero’s “You Are a Badass” discusses manifestation and forgiveness You are a badass. You are. You should look at yourself in the mirror and say it every single day. Your thoughts are a powerful tool.

If you feel uncomfortable talking to yourself in the mirror — you shouldn’t, but it’s okay if you do — then check out Jen Sincero’s book “You are a Badass” and give it a read for some life tips.

I read the book over spring break in Orlando, Forida, my feet perched up on the side of the balcony connected to my hotel room. I read it again at the pool while lying in the sun and once more on the cramped airplane home.

Then I read it again, snippets during finals week for motivation, and then in full

last week, just to remind myself.

There are some books you can read over and over, finding new information every single time, and this is one of those books.

Sincero discusses how we got to be the way that we are, how we can embrace who we are, how to tap into your thoughts and use them for good, how to “kick some ass” and more in her 244 page self-help book.

There’s some great advice in this book. I’m not just talking about advice as in “maybe do this once and solve all your problems” type of advice. I’m talking about the kind of advice you keep in the back of your mind every single day and actively practice.

Sincero discusses tapping into “Source Energy” – which, she says, you can call “God.” I like to say “The Universe,” which is one of many alternate options.

“Whatever you choose to call it isn’t important, what is important is that you start to develop an awareness of, and a relationship with, the Source Energy that’s surrounding you and within you,” she writes.

“All energy vibrates at a certain frequency,” she continues. “Which means you’re vibrating at a certain frequency, and everything you desire, and don’t desire, is also vibrating at a certain frequency.”

If you’ve ever heard of the Law of Attraction, she discusses that too. If you

focus on what makes you feel good, you’ll attract things that make you feel good.

A lot of people are skeptical of this. I was. But manifestation is a very real thing, at least in terms of your selfperception. Your thoughts ultimately rule your entire life, which is something I never once thought about before reading this book.

Manifesting is one of the more important things I read about in this book. I use it every single day. I envision myself at my dream job and talk about where I’m going to go once I graduate. That’s right.

Where I’m going, not where I want to go. I envision myself getting the job before I even go in for the interview. This has worked for me twice so far. I tell myself every single

day that I’m going to do big things because I am. Manifest.

Another piece of advice that I thought was extremely important in this book was to forgive.

“Whatever happened, happened,” Sincero writes.

“Holding on will not change this fact, it will just keep the negative feelings from the past alive, keep you a prisoner to your pain, and lower your frequency.”

Basically, forgive for yourself. Let go of things, not out of surrender, but because you’re responsible for your own happiness, and you can’t be happy if someone or something that makes you unhappy is sitting in the corner of your brain with their arms

crossed. Usher them out the door, and don’t give them a second thought.

My favorite part of this entire book is that most of the chapters in this book to the same fundamental lesson.

Love yourself.

You are a badass. And you should love yourself. If you don’t — or even if you do — go ahead and pick up a copy of “You are a Badass”

by Jen Sincero for some additional advice. I got my copy from Target and it has changed my life. It might just do something similar for you. hanreed@umail.iu.edu hannahreed13

The monastery serves as a community center for the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy with a regular schedule of classes each week. The intention is offering the different level of classes from advanced to beginners.

We offer Meditation class, retreats, summer camps, cultural events (Taste of Tibet and Losar celebration), celebrate Buddhist holy days and invite guest speakers from time to time. Events at monastery draw people from many other countries as well as local and national residents. Our intention is to assist others who are seeking to attain lasting happiness and peace.

» SHASTA

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 struck by a drunk driver going 107 miles an hour.

His mother, Nancy Wroblewski, remembers seeing the police officer show up at her workplace in Bloomington. He insisted on a private room to talk to Nancy. When he delivered the news, she understood why.

“I had my hand on the desk,” she said.

The police officer asked if she needed anything.

“I said, ‘Well, you’re going to need to take me home.’”

Now, a year later, Medlyn, the senior director at HR Business Partner, decided to dedicate his climb of Mount Shasta to Hunter’s memory.

Nancy and Medlyn are old friends. They grew up in Bloomington together, living six houses apart on the same street, Meadowbrook Avenue. Their mothers were in the same bridge club. They rode the same bus. Went to the same school.

Nancy moved away to Guam for 20 years, while Medlyn spent 30 years in Baltimore. But they both found themselves back in Bloomington.

Medlyn says he didn’t know Hunter well. He was in Baltimore as Hunter was growing up. But that didn’t stop him from making the ceramic planter that rests at the head of Hunter’s grave.

It’s painted with the IU and Boy Scout symbols to honor Hunter’s passions.

“He’s got a huge heart,” Nancy said. “He’s just that kind of person.”

He wanted to do something more, though. Medlyn began planning for the climb about six months ago.

Trips up Mount Shasta fill up fast, so he had to make his reservation early. And mountaineering takes extreme endurance, he said.

In preparation for the climb, Medlyn worked out six days a week, doing a combination of weightlifting and cardio.

“My sense is that Hunter had a sense of purpose in his life and I think climbing kind of reflects that,” he said.

“He was an Eagle scout and a graduate of a competitive program and none of that happens without focus.”

Medlyn flew out on July 13 to meet five other people to climb the mountain, the second highest peak in the Cascade Range after Mount Rainier.

At 12,000 feet, Medlyn took a crampon, a sharp traction device attached to shoes, to the face when another climber swung his foot wide to cross over a rope.

Laughing off the small puncture wound with his fellow climbers, he kept climbing.

Because it’s safest to climb when the snow is coldest, mountaineering is predominantly a night sport, Medlyn said.

He started climbing early in the morning and finished well before noon, when things start to heat up.

He caught the sunrise each morning.

He sent Nancy a picture of the sunrise. “My heart really just smiles,” she said.

Then in early morning of

Sunday morning, Medlyn reached the summit. It had been exactly a year since Hunter died.

“The summit is just the cherry on top,” he said. “It’s really all about living in the moment and experiencing the climb itself. It’s not just about the summit, it’s about being surrounded by that epic beauty.”

He said he thought about Hunter while he climbed.

“We all live our lives at the end of a very long thread that can be cut at any time,” Medlyn said. “You might as well live your life without fear. You got to get out and do things and not be afraid, and I think that was the kind of life that Hunter represented.”

Nancy concurs. Hunter traveled all over Asia to Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo and elsewhere. He lived and worked in Indianapolis, Colorado and Florida. “In 27 years, he lived about nine lives,” she said.

After Hunter died, all 18 women from Nancy’s workout group came to her house to comfort her. People she didn’t even know stopped at the wrought iron gate in her front yard to place flowers for Hunter.

Friends from Hunter’s dorm, Collins LLC, reached out to Nancy to share their favorite memories of Hunter, who studied informatics at IU. “Bloomington has a big place in my heart,” she said.

“People ask me, don’t you want to move away sometime? I’ll never leave Bloomington. Especially after this happening in my life, I really understand what a wonderful community this is.”

On the anniversary of Hunter’s death, Nancy said she had phone calls and messages from good friends.

Her husband was there to comfort her.

She was with her grandson, who’s one year old and reminds her of Hunter. She sees some of Hunter’s gregarious personality in him.

Hunter was buried in Dunn Cemetery, the cemetery next to Beck Chapel on the IU campus. It’s technically not owned by IU, though. It’s owned and operated by the Dunn family for which it’s named.

Only members of that family can be buried there.

Nancy’s great-great-greatgreat-grandfather, Austin Seward—the man who made the fish on top of the Monroe County Courthouse— was buried there with his wife Jennet Irvin.

Her parents and aunt are buried next to Hunter.

“I hope he knows that he’s in the graveyard because he’d get a big kick out of that,” she said. “All that history does make you feel very grounded and rooted and very proud to be a member of this community.”

Hunter has become part of the fabric of history that makes up Bloomington. But he’s still very much part of the present.

“His life was cut short way too early, but he hasn’t been forgotten,” Medlyn said. “His memory is still on the lives on in a lot of people.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 season for the Hoosiers.

His 995 yards were good enough for second in the Big Ten and ranks No. 7 on IU’s single-season list.

Redshirt senior cornerback Rashard Fant was also added to a watch list Tuesday. Fant earned himself a place on the 2017 Wueffel Trophy watch list, known as “College Football’s Premier Award for Community Service.”

It’s been a very busy preseason for Fant as this is the fourth watch list he’s been named to this year. He has already been named to the Jim Thorpe, Bronko Nagurski and the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.

Fant has helped with different organizations during his time at IU including Read Across America, Camp Riley, the IU Doin’ It Right program along with many others. Fant also enters the 2017 season as the NCAA active career leader and IU’s all-time leader with 48 passes defended and 44 pass breakups.

The most recent player to be added to a watch list this preseason is fifth-year senior quarterback Richard Lagow, who was selected for the 2017 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list Wednesday. This award is given out at the end of the football season December 8, but The Golden Arm Award committee will

announce the top 15 finalists sometime in September.

Lagow was selected to the honorable mention All-Big Ten Team and was named IU’s Offensive Newcomer of the Year in 2016. He ranked second in the conference in passing yards per game, third in yards per completion and completions, fifth in touchdowns with 19 and sixth in total offense per game.

Redshirt sophomore running back and return specialist Devonte Williams was selected to the 2017 Paul Hornung Award watch list Monday. This award is given to the most versatile player in major college football.

This year’s Paul Hornung watch list is made up of 45 players from 10 different conferences. The winner and his family will be honored at the annual Paul Hornung Award Banquet on March 8.

Williams is ranked No. 10 all-time on IU’s kick return yardages list with 988 yards. As a freshman, he returned 39 kicks for 784 yards which ranked first in the Big Ten and 13th nationally.

The Hoosiers open the 2017 season August 31 with a home game against the Ohio State Buckeyes. That game will be nationally televised on ESPN at 8 p.m.

EDITORIAL BOARD

ILLUSTRATION BY NATALIE EASTES | IDS

Candice Jackson should resign from the Department of Education

I

t seems reasonable to expect that rape survivors sympathize with other victims, that the authorities who are supposed to protect students actually do and that if anyone understands the difference between a rape myth and a reality on college campuses, it’s the head of the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.

But Candice Jackson, acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, proves us wrong.

Last week, Jackson said in an interview with the New York Times that most campus sexual assault accusations are not about an aggressor overriding the will of a young man or woman.

“Rather, the accusations—90 percent of them—fall into the category of ‘we were both drunk, we broke up, and six months later I found myself under a Title IX investigation because she just decided that our last sleeping together was not quite right,’” she said.

In other words, most campus sexual assault cases are unfounded.

By all accounts of empirical, peer-reviewed research, Jackson is

dead wrong.

Her mythmaking continues a tradition of denial and trivialization of assault in our society.

Numerous sociologists like David Lisakto, a clinical psychologist, and André De Zutter, a psychologist at Free University in Amsterdam, have analyzed FBI data, police records and court hearings and found that only 2 to 10 percent of sexual assault allegations were unfounded, baseless or false.

In contrast, data compiled by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center found that 63 percent of sexual assaults are never reported to the police.

IU’s 2014-2015 Sexual Climate survey found that 45 percent of undergraduate women at IU who reported being penetrated nonconsensually did not consider the incident “serious enough” to be disclosed.

Jackson’s comments—which she later half-regretfully called ‘flippant’—demonstrate the depth of her ignorance of campus sexual assault, even as a survivor herself.

Her comment also falls neatly in

the current administration’s vision of a more limited federal role in education and an erased Obama legacy.

For example, the DoE recently announced that it is debating not publishing the list of colleges and universities under investigation for sexual violence reports.

Jackson will scale back the requirements for federal investigators to search for systemic patterns of violations and the department’s budget proposal aims to cut staff positions at the Office of Civil Rights according to the New York Times.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has also considered rolling back Obama and Biden’s “Dear Colleague” letter, which threatens to withdraw federal funds if universities do not lower the standard of proof in sexual assault disciplinary hearings.

Obama-era guidance on how universities handle sexual violence complaints does have genuine critics.

A number of Harvard professors signed an open letter in opposition to the reforms, which they worried would made campus

title IX offices de facto judge, jury and executioner, according to the Boston Globe.

Most campus disciplinary hearings—which do not supersede the normal legal process— lack due process rights such as the right to cross-examine the witness, hire legal representation and be tried by a jury of one’s peers.

Some accused-oriented advocates, such as Foundation for Individual Rights in Education have argued that the “preponderance of evidence” standard violates due process rights and burden of proof conventions.

Critics of these plans have argued such requirements would discourage reporting and will confuse an internal disciplinary process with a court of law.

Any changes to the DoE’s involvement in campus disciplinary hearings will have to be meticulously reasoned, supported by data and be motivated by compassion and concern for victims.

Unfortunately, Jackson’s comments show she is not up for that task.

DEER IN THE WORKS

Excitement for Kamala Harris’ potential 2020 presidential bid

Race riots require social remedies

Since the start of the 115th Congressional session, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Califonia) has been one to watch.

The former attorney general of California has refused to let anyone stop her from doing her job, despite countless interruptions of her dogged questioning during Senate Intelligence Committee hearings and brandings of her skepticism toward GOP leadership as “hysterical.”

So it’s no surprise that reports of her potential 2020 presidential bid have many progressive Democrats ecstatic.

Over the weekend, the freshman senator from California mingled with top Democratic donors and former financial supporters of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama at the Hamptons, according to the Hill.

“She comes to Congress with immense credentials— a law enforcement official with a smart approach to taking on bad actors and protecting consumers,” said Ben LaBolt, Democratic strategist and former spokesman for President Obama, to the Hill.

“And she’s already broken through as bringing a unique voice in the Senate that is both substantive and relatable—which is hard to do your freshman year.”

Reports of Harris’s

possible presidential run are bolstered by an increase in speaking engagements around Washington along with a stunning fundraising record for fellow Democratic colleagues such as Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri), according to Bustle.

Both of these are staples of gaining support within the Democratic Party and creating buzz around the capitol.

For me, Harris became a role model in the interim between her 2016 Senate win and the presidential inauguration, assuring her advocacy for true American values of equality on the precipice of a Trump presidency. Time and time again, she affirmed her devotion to protecting Democratic values with her relentless focus on issues such as immigrant rights, economic justice and reproductive freedom.

“If your senator supports the bill or is undecided, explain how this bill will impact you or your loved ones.

Tell your story. Tell them that if they vote for people to lose their health care, they should—and will—lose their jobs. Be persistent, be passionate, and be persuasive,” Harris wrote in a piece on the need for good health care policy for Lenny Letter.

“This is not a time for courtesy. This is a time for courage.”

Harris caught national attention during a string of

Julia Bourkland is a junior in political science.

Senate Intelligence Committee hearings in which she ruthlessly questioned Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on the independence of the Department of Justice amid questions of United States corroboration with Russian officials, according to CNN. As a young woman yearning to build a career in American politics, Harris’s public impact has been immeasurable. The power of public service has never felt stronger to me than when watching Harris’s impassioned speeches on American democracy and powerful attacks on her incompetent colleagues. Surely, many other women and girls across the United States feel the same.

To celebrate Harris’s potential presidential run, here’s to women running for office.

Here’s to women who are overly ambitious and refuse to shut up and let anything or anyone stand in the way of doing their best. Here’s to women who stand up to the tallest obstacles imaginable to fight for what they believe in.

May the 2018 and 2020 national races be filled with these women and opportunities for progress. jsbourkl@indiana.edu @jsbourkland

We entertain competing memories of the 1960s.

The Woodstock Festival, the Beatles, the Vietnam War, the NASA moon landing and John F. Kennedy’s assassination all capture historic moments and moods of the ‘60s we wish to remember.

But it was also a time of extraordinarily intense and violent racial confrontations that we wish to forget.

The persistence of racial turmoil in our time, such as the 2015 Ferguson riots, Baltimore after Freddie Gray and last year’s unrest in Charlotte, North Carolina obliges us to reconsider the lost lessons and forgotten recommendations from the 1960s.

In 1965, the Watts riot in Los Angeles raged for six days, left 40 people dead, claimed $40 million in property damage and put four thousand people in jail.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in 1968 unleashed the strongest episode of social unrest since the Civil War. Riots raged in 125 cities, emboldened militant Black Power groups, hastened white flight from urban areas, entrenched segregation and played a critical role in the landmark 1968 presidential election of Richard Nixon.

But it’s not like racial tensions ever disappeared.

Like any social pattern, these violent episodes sparked from different incidents but shared similar causes.

In response to the 1967 riots, Lyndon B. Johnson

established the Kerner Commission to investigate the causes of the riots and make recommendations about how to reduce mass violence.

Despite passing the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, he ignored the Commission’s findings and relegated their recommendations to the dustbins of history.

But it’s worth considering what their expert review had to say.

They found that police action was the immediate or ‘final’ precipitating event before almost every outbreak of violence.

Abusive police practices, high unemployment, a popular feeling of lost agency and the ineffectiveness of intersystem progress contributed to environments of mistrust and anger.

Inadequate housing, education and social services were key factors in the outbreaks of violence.

If racial violence is a social problem, as the Commission suggested, it requires social remedies.

They recommended eliminating abusive practices such as using clubs and guns on nonviolent offenders, employing more black and female cops and ensuring their fair promotion.

A massive campaign to create jobs in urban areas, providing tax incentives for firms to employ intercity populations, ending de facto school segregation, extend-

Richard Solomon is a senior in philosophy and political science.

ing early childhood education to black communities and expanding access to credit and home ownership were also the Kerner Commission’s important finding.

They advocated an enforceable open-housing law, uniform standards for welfare assistance and a public housing policy that emphasized a transition from “traditional publicly built slum based high rise projects to smaller units on scattered sites.”

Who knows where race relations would be today if their findings were actually taken seriously.

It is tempting to simply condemn looters and arsonists as betrayers of peaceful protest.

“When individuals get crowbars and start prying open doors to loot, they’re not protesting. They’re not making a statement. They’re stealing,” Obama said about Baltimore.

It is easy to pass off moral censure as our only obligation to address social unrest.

But if we truly want policies that improve life for all Americans, we must be willing to take these reforms seriously, sacrifice our comfort and break our silence.

On the 50th anniversary of the Kerner Commission, we are 50 years too late. ricsolom@indiana.edu
