IU uses 25-0 first half run to topple Michigan 80-67

By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri

ANN ARBOR, Michigan – Michigan Coach John Beilein wasn’t going to make excuses.

IU’s lead was eight, then 15 and finally 21 before the end of the first half. The Hoosiers scored

25 unanswered points – as part of a 41-9 run – in an eventual 8067 win against the Wolverines.

“Sometimes the other team is just damn better than you on that night,” he said.

Midway through the opening half, IU trailed 24-20.

Over the next six minutes, five different Hoosiers scored, senior guard Yogi Ferrell finishing the streak, and ended the game with 17 points and nine assists against the Wolverines.

It was a 12-0 run. Timeout Michigan.

But the Hoosiers picked up right where they left off out of the break.

Ferrell drove to left, drew two defenders, and then tossed a pass over both of them to a cutting junior forward Troy Williams for the alley-oop dunk. On his way back on defense, Ferrell stopped at center court.

He raised his hand to highfive Williams before running the

For local residents and members of the IU community, developments surrounding the Lauren Spierer case last weekend led to heightened hopes but more questions.

Last Thursday, the FBI and Bloomington Police Department searched a home in Martinsville, Indiana, in connection to the case, BPD said. A second home was searched in Trafalgar, Indiana.

The connection between these residences and the Spierer case remains unclear.

A family friend of the Spierers’ said the parents declined to give a statement about the investigation into their daughter’s disappearance.

Despite lingering questions, some members of the

Concert to benefit local wildlife sanctuary

By James Freeborn jrfreeborn@indiana.edu @J_Freeborn

Singer-songwriter Jesse Lacy’s tour for his first album didn’t go as planned. He said he spent three months touring and realizing no one really needed his music.

Since then, he said he’s found a reason to perform outside of selfpromotion. His #GivingBack Community Series will take place this evening at The Player’s Pub as a benefit concert for WildCare Inc., a Monroe County wildlife sanctuary.

“People don’t need more music,”

he said. “There’s plenty music out there already. They need more reasons to listen to music.”

Lacy, 26, said he often performs at events where people can use their money to aid a nonprofit.

“It’s more about making something great for everybody, instead of, ‘Hey, I have these great songs that you have to hear,’” he said.

Today’s show will be the second of the series. The first was three months ago and benefited the Sycamore Land Trust.

The third installment will draw attention to the Monroe County Energy Challenge. Monroe County is one

of 50 semifinalists in a nationwide competition sponsored by Georgetown University, which awards $5 million to the community demonstrating the most energy-saving innovation.

“It’s good money, but no one’s heard about it,” he said.

Lacy said his first album was a zero carbon footprint affair. All the merchandise was made from recycled material.

“My branding is pretty green,” he said. “I grew up on organic.”

Lacy said his green mindset made WildCare Inc. a prime choice for today’s event.

“They just do a lot of great things,” he said. “I like to be able to be in a position where I can support them.”

The organization will receive 15 percent of the cover profits.

One of Lacy’s favorite parts about this nonprofit is its specialization in healing injured predatory birds. He said he gets goosebumps thinking about the animals.

“I don’t have any experience with birds,” he said. “I want to help them, but I wouldn’t know what to do. What I can do is I can get a crowd together and I can get them what they need to continue.”

Senate Bill 344, a controversial LGBT bill, died in the Senate yesterday afternoon without a vote.

The bill was an attempt to provide safeguards for LGBT individuals in Indiana.

It would have prohibited discrimination with regard to real estate, housing, education, public accommodations, employment, extending credit and public contracts based on military active duty status or sexual orientation. However, organizations such as adoption services or crisis pregnancy services were exempted from these provisions.

By yesterday’s session, the bill was amended 27 times. One of which was the addition for gender identity, according to the Indiana General Assembly’s website.

However, the bill notably did not include protections for transgender people and limited states’ ability to create local ordinances to protect LGBT people.

While LGBT advocates agreed SB 344 had its issues, many were disappointed it failed.

The American Civil Liberties Union said the bill, “while fundamentally flawed, would have opened the door for updating Indiana’s civil rights law to protect Hoosiers based on sexual orientation and gender identity.”

Matt McTighe, executive director of Freedom for All Americans, a national bipartisan campaign to secure protections for LGBT people, also said in a press release that while aspects of the bill were problematic, it still should have been discussed and moved forward.

“The Indiana legislature’s failure to update existing civil rights laws and protect LGBT Hoosiers today is deeply disappointing,” McTighe said in the release. “Senate Bill 344 was far from perfect, but it deserved to be debated and amended to ensure all Hoosiers are protect from discrimination.”

Freedom Indiana, a state grassroots organization advocating for LGBT rights, said doing nothing was not an option and doing nothing was exactly what the lawmakers did yesterday, a statement on their website said.

The Freedom Indiana statement said the group would continue to press for sound LGBT legislation in the future.

“The legislative process is just that — a process,” the Freedom Indiana statement said. “The conversation should continue in the coming weeks and months, not be shut down without a vote on the Senate floor.”

In response to Senate Bill 344, the Indiana Urban Mayors Caucus also released a statement in support of retaining local civil rights ordinances that protect gay and transgender Hoosiers.

“We want to be part of that discussion at the Statehouse and offer our support to lawmakers in a way that helps them strike a balance between what many of us already have accomplished in our communities and a statewide solution,” the group said in a press release.

Senate Bill 344 would have undermined ordinances passed at the city level, like South Bend’s 2012 Human Right’s Ordinance, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg said.

Robel delivers State of the Campus address

By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu @emanmozaffar

IU may have recruited its most diverse class in history, but the need to push for inclusivity is greater than ever, Provost Lauren Robel said in her 2016 State of the Campus Address.

In her speech Tuesday afternoon in Franklin Hall, Robel focused on expanding programs, research initiatives and campus-wide progress in the Bicentennial Strategic Plan, which furthers the development of IU as it enters its third century.

“We have a strong tradition of bringing the world to Bloomington,” Robel said.

Robel detailed the positive results of an assessment released by the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs.

More than $2.8 million has gone toward the hiring of diverse faculty since 2013.

The IU report has also documented nearly 2,000 distinct diversity efforts.

“The methodology was great — it used web scraping tools, archived events using keywords and even implemented the social sciences,” Robel said. “We pay constant attention to putting forth persistent effort in the leadership to combat issues and experience more progress.”

Robel, the Bloomington

Faculty Council and IU faculty and administration celebrated the findings of the DEMA report and also took the results as benchmarks from which to grow in the future.

A push for increased efforts to help smooth the transition of international students is underway.

“Having a new committee focused on international affairs, for example, and the concerns of students, is one instance of what our faculty is doing to improve the state of our campus in the near future,” said Cassidy Sugimoto, Bloomington Faculty Council executive. Sugimoto provided the introductory remarks for Robel’s address.

Throughout her address, Robel gave an overview of IU’s achievements in recent months, both academically and administratively. She described the initiations of three new schools within the College of Arts and Sciences: the School of Global and International Studies, the Media School and the School of Art and Design.

Robel also celebrated the accreditation of programs in the School of Public Health, the upcoming implementation of the Intelligent Systems Engineering program in the School of Informatics and Computing, and new graduate degrees being offered in the School of Social Work and the School of Nurs-

Another notable University achievement Robel mentioned is the Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative, which recently finished preserving 50,000 media items. Robel

said these contributions will help tell IU’s story more comprehensively in the future.

“This initiative is huge, and it took enormous imagination to conceive it and educate it.” Robel said.

“If we don’t do it, we lose our history.”

Robel concluded her address with a call to action.

She told audience members to connect their visions of a productive, diverse and inclusive society to the Univer-

sity’s mission of “fulfilling the promise.”

“You have to push on every front for progress,” Robel said. “You can never not let these pressing issues be at the top of your mind — that’s the only way.”

Plantiff in gay marriage case speaks Overtime shifts contribute to auto recalls, study finds

By Hannah Rea

hanrea@indiana.edu

Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in last year’s case to legalize gay marriage across America, described his role in the case in a free lecture series this week.

He spoke at noon yesterday in the Moot Court Room in the Maurer School of Law. Jim Obergefell Obergefell will also speak today at 7 p.m. in Alumni Hall.

The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Alumni Association, Union Board, American Constitutional Society and the Maurer School of Law worked together to arrange the lecture. Constitutional law professor Steve Sanders moderated the event.

After Obergefell’s partner of 20 years, John Arthur, was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, the couple decided to marry. Ohio wouldn’t recognize their marriage, performed on the tarmac of Bal-

timore Airport in Maryland.

“We simply wanted to spend the rest of John’s days as husband and husband,” Obergefell said. “We really wanted our marriage to matter.”

The couple’s struggle to have Obergefell listed as the surviving spouse on the death certificate helped bring attention to the long-running fight for equal rights.

Aided by renowned civil rights lawyer Al Gerhardstein, their case initially won in a federal circuit court.

“There was some pushback to Al, saying ‘this isn’t the right fight,’” Obergefell said. But he kept fighting. “I relied on Al. I put my life, my love in his hands.”

Arthur died in October 2013, and, for a time, Obergefell said he retreated from the limelight to grieve. Then, in November 2014, the ruling was overturned in the sixth circuit court. He said that was his chance to back out and drop the case, but he didn’t.

“The decision upset me. It hurt me, it made me angry,” Obergefell said. “I knew I had to keep fighting for John.”

So, the couples and indi-

viduals involved appealed to the Supreme Court and eventually, aided by national civil rights organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union, the cases were heard.

Obergefell was pulled back into the limelight with the name of the case. It was randomly assigned by case number, he said, and the number of his original Ohio case was selected.

He said he never wanted to be the face of the fight because it involved so many other couples and individuals. But he said his mind has been changed somewhat by the overwhelmingly positive reaction of the public to the case.

“People stop and tell me stories,” he said. “They want to do nothing more than say ‘thank you.’”

After the case started to make headlines, Obergefell said he realized that he wanted to leave the quiet, private life he had sunk into after the sixth circuit court’s decision.

“I started to get more involved and more active,” he said. The speaking engagements helped him move through his grieving process,

he said.

Obergefell made it his mission to be present for as many decision days as possible, traveling back and forth to Washington, D.C., for the first few weeks of June. On the day of the big decision, Obergefell was in the court room. He listened to Justice Anthony Kennedy read the opinion of the court, and Obergefell said he didn’t really hear it at first.

“It sunk in that we won, and I burst into tears,” he said.

“It was this amazing feeling of ‘wow, we really do matter.’”

He attributes the time it took for the decision to be reached to the country’s past.

“It just seems to be the way our country works,” he said. “We just don’t get it.”

He said the next step is the Equality Act. The Act would adapt the 1964 Civil Rights Act and “establishes explicit, permanent protections against discrimination” of the LGBT community, according to hrc.org.

“Passing the Equality Act to add sexual orientation and gender identity to constitutional protection,” he said.

“That’s the big fight.”

Students help ban ivory trade in Indiana

By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich

The Elephant Activist Revolution, a new student group on campus, has been instrumental in filing House Bill 1052, which calls for the ban of ivory trade in Indiana.

The proposed bill would make the sale, ownership or transfer of products containing ivory or rhino horn a Class A misdemeanor. Senior Jasmine Shaffer said she hopes a bill successfully passed in Indiana would set an example for other states to follow.

Shaffer first learned about ivory trade as a freshman volunteering as a naturalist at the Indianapolis Zoo. “I absolutely fell in love with the elephants,” Shaffer said. “It wasn’t until then that I learned about the ivory trade and everything that was going on.”

Shaffer said she watched as elephant tusks were trimmed at the Indianapolis Zoo and said occasionally misinformed zoo visitors would see this and ask if the ivory was available for purchase at the zoo.

“Not many people knew

how big of a problem it was,” Shaffer said.

The United States follows only China in ivory consumption, according to Elephants DC, a volunteer-based advocacy group. Only three other states — New York, New Jersey and California — have successfully passed legislation banning ivory trade.

After attending a session at the zoo discussing the depth of ivory trade and explaining the manner in which elephants are poached for their tusks in Africa, Shaffer decided to take action and do what she could to help raise awareness about the issue throughout the state, however foreign it might seem to Hoosiers.

Seeking advice from representatives at Elephants DC, Shaffer created EAR at IU at the beginning of the school year, with a goal of raising awareness of the workings of the ivory industry. The club has about 45 members.

“As an organization, to be through the process to ban ivory in Indiana, I think is a very good thing to say you’ve helped with,” Shaffer said.

Soon after establishing EAR, Shaffer was connected

with Dustin Thibideau of Ivory Free Indiana, who had already begun work on the bill.

The students assisted Thibideau mainly through calling legislators and potential co-authors for the bill to bring attention to the ivory trade issue.

Shaffer said the organization flooded one representative’s office with 500 calls in one day.

“When we have these things like calling,” Shaffer said. “It’s a simple thing, but it really, really matters.”

While the bill has been stalled and will not likely see a hearing until at least 2017, Thibideau said the students of EAR have greatly assisted him thus far.

“The bill wouldn’t be where it’s at today if it weren’t for them,” Thibideau said. “I owe them a lot of credit. They definitely played a significant part.”

One reason for the bill’s stagnation, Thibideau said, is because the bill is often interpreted as anti-gun legislation and is therefore unpopular among Republicans.

The exceptions for

“I absolutely fell in love with the elephants.

It wasn’t until then that I learned about the ivory trade and everything that was going on.”

Jasmine Shaffer, IU senior who helped file HB1052

the bill include the horn being used for scientific or educational purposes, having been passed down in a descendent’s estate, being used as a musical instrument manufactured before 1975 or having been at least 100 years old.

However, the bill now has added a Republican coauthor since first being filed, which Shaffer said might help make things easier in 2017.

Although Shaffer said she plans to graduate before 2017, she said she would like to stay involved in the EAR program as much as possible.

“I really want to raise awareness on campus,” Shaffer said. “So maybe by next year we can have a lot more people calling.”

From IDS reports

Extensive use of overtime shifts by factories contributes to costly auto recalls, according to a seven-year study of the North American auto industry.

F a c u l t y George Ball members in the Kelley School of Business conducted the study, along with faculty from University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management and INSEAD business school.

The paper based off the study’s findings was recently published in Management Science.

Five of the top 10 biggest auto company recalls in United States history have occurred during the last decade.

In the study, researchers found factories favor overtime and extra shifts over expansion of their capacity with more employees to meet rising demands of auto production.

“If managers run an auto factory on consistent overtime, recalls stemming from manufacturing errors increase by more than 300 percent,” said George Ball, assistant professor of operations and decision

technologies at Kelley, in a press release.

“Such errors become even more prevalent when overtime is combined with high levels of variety.”

Upon completion of the study, researcher found the total cost of U.S. auto recalls in the last seven years alone exceeded $167 million.

“While previous studies had focused on linking product recalls to financial costs and loss of market share, our intent was to identify operational characteristics of an assembly line such as overtime and variety and link them to future recalls,” said Rachna Shah, associate professor of supply chain and operations at the Carlson School and the paper’s lead author, in a press release.

Researchers studied recalls of all cars made in North America by Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Toyota from 2000 to 2006. The researchers used three sources: the Harbour Report, Ward’s Automotive and the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration.

Three former executives from GM read the paper and vouched for the validity of its findings.

Environmental regulation bill moves to House

Terry English addresses a question from an audience member at the first board meeting of the new charter school Seven Oaks. The meeting took place Tuesday night at the Monroe County Public Library.

Seven Oaks looks for faculty

By Emily Beck emebeck@indiana.edu | @emebeck1

Seven Oaks Classical School envisions a place where students are given a liberal arts and sciences education — where students will learn Latin and cultural literacy in addition to the traditional reading, writing and arithmetic.

But first they need a building, a headmaster, teachers and students.

The school board has received two submissions for headmaster, said board member Lindsey Weaver on Tuesday night at the charter school’s first public board meeting. She said they plan to hold interviews and arrive at a decision in the next three weeks.

Once that position is filled, the search for teachers will begin.

Weaver said a request for teachers will go out within

the next month.

Advertisements will be posted in places like IU’s School of Education, the Monroe County Public Library and public schools.

Seven Oaks will also be looking for teachers at the Hillsdale College Classical School Job Fair later this month, Weaver said.

“Some local teachers are cautiously looking at employment at the school too,” said board member Fred Prall. “It’s possible that currently employed teachers will be interested in moving to teach at Seven Oaks.”

Open enrollment for the charter school, which has been the subject of controversy in recent years, began Feb. 1 and will end March 17.

Right now, 65 children have been pre-enrolled from Monroe, Lawrence, Owen, Morgan and Clay counties, board member Terry English said.

“As we thought, this is not just Monroe County students, and I think that’s important,” Prall said. “I’m excited about the results so far.”

The school board’s target number for enrollment is 459 students.

English also said he’s hopeful about Seven Oaks opening this August, despite the challenges of finding a location for the school.

‘They’ve had one “focal location’ in mind for a while,” he said. “But we thought we would look at other alternatives, so we have four.”

One location is an old manufacturing plant, another a former university facility.

The locations ready to be moved into have only long-term leasing options, and that’s not what the school wants, English said.

The board wants to buy its own facility and renovate

it instead of answering to a lease.

English said all are within Monroe County and within 15 minutes of Bloomington’s city center. He said they want Seven Oaks to be on the west side, because there is more of a demand in that area.

“We’ll be making a decision within the next two to three weeks about what site we’re going to use,” he said.

The issue is money. The state will provide Seven Oaks with funds based on the number of students it has, but English said the board won’t know those numbers until the enrollment period is done. Until then, they won’t know how much they have to spend either.

“We have an awful lot of chicken and egg questions we’re trying to deal with in a very short period of time,” he said. “We’re optimistic.”

A bill limiting Indiana’s environmental regulations has passed in committee and will move on to the House of Representatives for consideration.

If the bill, authored by Rep. David Wolkins, R-Winona Lake, passes in the House and Senate, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management will not be able to hold Indiana businesses to stricter ecofriendly ordinances than the federal government does.

The Indiana House of Representatives’ Environment Affairs Committee passed the bill 7-6.

House Bill 1082, also dubbed the “No More Stringent Than” bill, would stop the environmental rules board from adopting any standard or law that is more stringent than a similar regulation or standard under federal law.

Given the vague federal guidelines for states, this legislation could tie the hands of environmental agencies, said Kim Ferraro, a senior staff attorney for the Hoosier Environmental Council.

“The law has really ambiguous language,” Ferraro said. “How would you determine whether a broad federal law is more stringent than a ... state law?”

According to the HEC’s website, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not yet created enough regulations for environmental problems like pollution from fracking, factory farm manure pits and outdoor wood boilers.

“Since the EPA has not adequately acted to address those problems above, HB 1082 would bar IDEM, from doing anything stronger to protect the public health,” the

“The law has really ambiguous language.

How would you determine whether a broad federal law is more stringent than a ... state law?”

Kim Ferraro, senior staff attorney for the Hoosier Environmental Council

HEC’s website reads.

Ferraro said she’s concerned about possible repercussions for Indiana’s drinking water, given the recent discovery of iron and lead pollution in Flint, Michigan. However, she said, the spate of issues that the bill could affect is broad.

Ferraro argued Indiana businesses are already wellprotected under existing legislation, which allows the state government to review and strike down restrictive regulations to protect business.

“We should leave well enough alone,” Ferraro said. “It is well-protected already.”

In 2015, WalletHub ranked Indiana 47th in its list of the least eco-friendly states. The Hoosier state tied for second-lowest air quality, according to the same study.

Ferraro added that young people who have worked with the HEC often conflate an area’s environment and the quality of life within that area.

In the interest of keeping young people in Indiana, she said, the bill should not be passed.

In the coming weeks, she said the HEC will meet with environmental affairs chair Ed Charbonneau to discuss the bill.

“It is obviously a full-on effort to educate state senators about how dangerous this is,” Ferraro said.

Bloomington sued for RFRA violations by conservatives

By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6

The City of Bloomington and the Bloomington Human Rights Commission are being sued for violating the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. In a complaint filed January 26, various “ideologically-conservative” groups allege that the Bloomington human rights ordinance, which prohibits discrimination based on sexuality or gender identity, violates their constitutional rights as well as RFRA as it was originally enacted.

The groups also contend that an amendment

legislators added to RFRA last year — a legislative fix intended to prevent individuals and businesses from using religious beliefs as a means to discriminate — is unconstitutional.

The plaintiffs in the case are the Indiana Family Institute, Inc., Indiana Family Action, Inc. and the American Family Association Inc. They allege the RFRA amendment violates their constitutional rights at the state and federal level. They list equal-rights protections, freedom of speech and religious-liberty protections as some of the rights violated by the exceptions made in the amendment.

The plaintiffs argue the protections provided by RFRA as it was originally enacted are constitutional protections and thus need to be upheld.

Because of this belief, the plaintiffs allege that the Bloomington human rights ordinance violates both their constitutional rights and RFRA as it was originally enacted.

This interpretation of right to freedom of religion would allow the groups to exclude LGBT hoosiers.

Bloomington is not the only municipality involved in the case. Indianapolis, Carmel and Columbus are also being sued for their local

human rights ordinances.

The Bopp Law Firm in Terre Haute is representing the conservative nonprofits.

One specific example of what the plaintiffs have cited as a violation of their rights is the Indiana Family Institute and Indiana Family Action cannot currently offer programs in Bloomington because they “would not allow same-sex married couples that do not uphold the biblical teaching on marriage and human sexuality into their programs,” according to the court filing.

They will also not employ anyone who violates those same “biblical teachings.”

On Monday, Blooming-

ton Mayor John Hamilton responded to the lawsuit filing.

“The City of Bloomington has a long-standing commitment to equal opportunity and diversity,” Hamilton said in a press release. “This commitment was written into law as far back as 1965 when the Common Council created a Human Relations Commission, and that commitment continues to this day.”

Hamilton went on to express his pride that Bloomington was the only city in the state to receive a perfect score from the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index in 2015.

He described the lawsuit as “meritless.”

Bloomington Communications Director Mary Catherine Carmichael reiterated the mayor’s sentiments.

“We’re very proud of our Human Rights Ordinance, and the mayor is completely supporting our Human Rights Commission and all the work they’ve done,” Carmichael said.

Though she said the city hasn’t had time to fully determine the process of fighting the suit, she expressed her frustration that it had been filed.

“It will be an unfortunate waste of money and resources to defend ourselves against what we think is a frivolous lawsuit,” she said.

WE SAY: It only matters if we let it Despite close victories of both former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sen. Ted Cruz in Iowa, the two candidates are far from receiving their respective party’s nominations.

But that doesn’t stop the media, voters, political analysts and the candidates themselves from acting like the race is over.

For the past ten election cycles, Iowa has been the landmark predictor for the American people on how the election will turn out.

That’s not to say it’s been accurate, but the country has placed that much stock in its results.

So does it matter which state goes first?

The more people place their faith in Iowa’s results, the more those results will decide the ultimate election. The media performs coverage, officials make endorsements, voters cast

ballots, analysts make predictions and candidates make crucial decisions based solely on Iowa.

In addition, Iowa is an inaccurate representation of the American people. It’s 92 percent white and 77 percent Christian. It has three times fewer foreign born residents compared to the national average. In the last election cycle, the Iowa voter turnout was only 19 percent.

All of these amount to a deceptive sample population to represent the nation as a whole.

For some reason, Iowa has fooled the entire nation into investing in its fortune-telling ability.

However, a closer look at the facts reveals a harsher truth.

Of the last 13 caucuses, Iowa’s pick has

Democratic delegates per candidate

become the nominee seven times, and New Hampshire’s, eight. Five times Iowa has picked the wrong candidate, while New Hampshire selected the correct one, compared to four times the other way around.

And let’s not forget 1992, when neither state chose Bill Clinton, who would go on to become the nominee and a two-term president.

In 2012, former Gov. Mitt Romney’s chief strategist made a damning observation about the Iowa caucuses when he said, “What is the difference between first and third place in Iowa going to be, 4,000 votes? It’s like a student body election.”

In fact, the difference that year between Rick Santorum, who finished first, and Ron Paul, who finished third, was 3,803 votes.

That’s just over 10% of IU’s undergraduate student body size deciding a presidential race.

With all of these flaws and loopholes, why is the nation so invested in Iowa’s results?

There isn’t necessarily a better alternative.

It’s tough not to cling to the first indication of who the next leader of the free world is going to be.

It’s a dangerous game. In our democracy, we must make sure we don’t resign ourselves to unnecessary hype and false promises instead of using the ballot box to be the ultimate decision maker.

The power to choose the president rests with the people, but they make the mistake of relinquishing that power to Iowan caucus-goers.

Sanders’s real victory Donald, you’re fired Reaction to the Democratic results I predicted Sen. Bernie Sanders would ultimately win the race of the Iowa caucus and he did come very close.

The Iowa Democratic Party reported former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton narrowly beat Sanders by just two-tenths of a percentage point. But I argue the results were too close to declare an overall winner, and Sanders’ strong performance counts as a victory on its own.

I watched Clinton announce her campaign in a cheery, optimistic video in April.

I also watched Bernie Sanders declare his candidacy for president more than a month later in front of the Waterfront Park in Burlington, Vermont.

Sanders received little attention from the media and high-ranking Democratic officials at the time of his announcement.

The Media Matters blog reported Sanders received one minute of coverage from ABC World News Tonight the entire year.

The Democratic National Committee scheduled just six debates between the candidates, according to CNN Politics. It left fewer opportunities for Sanders to create recognition than what Clinton already possessed.

And yet, something strange happened.

As the political machine turned its gears, Sanders gained ground, rapidly, on Clinton.

According to the Washington Post, even just a few months ago in November, Sanders was about 30 points behind Clinton.

In January, however, the story began to change. He built a 14 point lead in

New Hampshire and became a viable threat to Clinton in Iowa, the Atlantic reported.

Clinton hasn’t looked like much of a front-runner in the days leading up to the Iowa caucus. Most polls showed she and Sanders were neck and neck.

I predicted Sanders would win because the electorate in Iowa is overwhelmingly white.

I’ve written about Sanders’ struggles to connect with black voters before, but this didn’t appear to be much of an issue in a state primarily of white voters.

I also thought he would win because, if he was able to actively motivate young voters and first-time caucus-goers, he could threaten Clinton.

Sanders seems to have tapped into the most illusive voting demographic. According to Politico, Sanders captured 84 percent of Democratic voters under the age of 30. Among first-time caucus-goers he beat Clinton 59 to 37 percent.

Sanders’ clear, consistent rhetoric from the campaign trail would leave a lasting impression on voters. His campaign stump speech can be summed up in four words: the system is rigged.

When voters are frustrated with Washington and establishment politics, the message connected with Iowa caucus-goers.

The Clinton campaign is in for a wakeup call following Monday’s results. The Democratic race may continue for months.

It could’ve ended after just one caucus.

Reaction to the Republican results Going into Monday’s Iowa Republican Caucus, I feared Donald Trump would run away with the state. His momentum going into the caucus was undeniable.

He had the poll numbers. According to RealClearPolitics.com, aggregate poll data showed Trump had command of the Iowa polls since Jan. 11.

Sen. Ted Cruz had been winning from December 12, 2015, until that date. I didn’t think Trump’s withdrawal from last Thursday’s debate would hurt him too much, either. He seemed invincible.

That I was wrong is wonderful news for the GOP and the American people.

Sen. Ted Cruz’s victory in Iowa is a great development and will give hope for the party establishment — even if Sen. Cruz isn’t their favored candidate.

The implications of Sen. Cruz’s victory are astronomical.

With Sen. Cruz taking 28 percent of the vote, Trump with 24 and Sen. Rubio with 23, this indicates a three horse race for the GOP. Poor numbers for candidates like Gov. Chris Christie, Dr. Ben Carson and Gov. Jeb Bush could signal the beginning of the end for these candidates.

Sen. Cruz showed great resiliency in his victory. He successfully staved off a late charge from Trump, and showed that having good organization and ground game would go further than having a flamboyant media presence, like Trump.

In his victory speech, Sen. Cruz highlighted this when he said, “Iowa has sent notice that the next president won’t be chosen by

the media.”

In Trump’s post caucus speech, he said, “I love Iowa so much, I might even buy a farm here.”

The disparity in the post-caucus comments highlights the reason why establishment Republicans rue the idea of Trump as the GOP nominee or president. He simply doesn’t have what it takes.

Sen. Marco Rubio announced himself as the main establishment candidate with 23 percent of the vote. In aggregate Iowa polls leading up to the caucus, he polled around 16.9. He exceeded expectations. This should give him momentum moving forward as well.

Considering New Hampshire is less conservative than Iowa, this will bode well for Sen. Rubio’s campaign.

The bottom line is this. Trump’s momentum has stopped, at least for now. With New Hampshire up next on Feb. 9, this may be short lived, as Trump has a 21.7 percent lead, on aggregate, over the rest of the field.

One thing is certain. This election isn’t conventional.

In the last two elections, the GOP winners of Iowa, former Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Sen. Rick Santorum, have fallen off the pace after their victories. This could yet happen to Sen. Cruz.

However, this election is up for grabs.

Americans know Trump isn’t invincible. The American electorate reigns supreme over the election, not the media.

A SLICE OF SOMETHING REAL

CRAZY IS MAJORITY RULES

Inequality and funding for the arts The National Endowment for the Arts was founded in 1965 to “nurture creativity, to elevate the nation’s culture, and to sustain and preserve the country’s many artistic traditions,” by addressing inequality and lack of accessibility in the arts.

Thanks to political corrosion and loving “budgets cuts,” the NEA is now a shadow of its former self, with half its original budget and staff.

The majority of financial funding of the arts has been from private donors and corporations.

The large influx of private funding for the arts is crowding out the NEA and undoing its 50 years of public service. The support to already well-funded institutions that cater to large groups of mostly educated, wealthy white people.

If we want our art institutions to represent more than one view of American

culture, the private funding of art institutions needs to be balanced by public funding.

It’s no secret the United States suffers from severe inequalities but no one recognizes that these inequities permeate every facet of society, including the arts.

Most artistic communities, including marginalized groups, are underfunded because public funding is limited and private donors don’t care.

For example, The DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the University of Maryland released a report called “Diversity in the Arts.” The report found that the median percentage of private contributions to black and Latino arts organizations was 5 percent.

The report also found the median percentage of private contributions to “mainstream”, also know as white, arts organizations was 60 percent.

If this narrative sounds

familiar, it really is the same old story of rich, mostly white people using their money to gain cultural dominance.

Whether or not private donors are consciously promoting racial and economic inequalities through their funding of art institutions is not my concern.

My concern and the concern of the NEA are to obliterate these inequalities.

According to The Atlantic, as of 2014, public funding for the arts comprises only 4 percent of all arts funding in the U.S. Unlike private donors who are blinded by a whitewashed, Eurocentric view of art, the NEA funds art communities in all 50 States and five U.S. jurisdictions.

It does what private donors don’t think to do, which is to fund small institutions in impoverished areas through its Challenge America program.

The NEA also has partnership agreements with 60 state and local arts institu-

tions that aide the private sector in building off of government programs.

Like many other government social programs, the NEA seeks to foster an inclusive and equal society through the funding of arts programs that are similar.

In this instance, the arts communities the NEA funds are models for how the collective U.S. society should function.

Public funding for the arts is crucial to dissolving many of the inequalities marginalized groups face in the U.S. and must be increased if we want to see any changes. Art is the key to understanding our society and us. rcm2@indiana.edu @RachelCMiller1

THE FITZ FILES

Koch brothers stain climate change at IU Not content with funneling money to the highest levels of our nation’s government, the wealthy and ultraconservative Koch brothers are now targeting something a little closer to home: research that’s being done at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

According to the Indianapolis Star, the Charles Koch Foundation gave a $210,000 grant to professor Doug Noonan and two visiting scholars at IUPUI for environmental policy research.

Several graduate students in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, according to the Indianapolis Star, criticized the grant for potentially damaging the school’s reputation for conducting research.

They’re not wrong.

The Koch brothers have a long history of supporting political groups that are skeptical, at best, of the existence of climate change.

The Union of Concerned Scientists, which advocates against misinformation of climate change, reported that foundations linked with the Koch brothers have donated millions of dollars to special interests that argue climate change is not caused by humans and is not a pressing political issue.

A group that routinely supplies false information about climate change, Americans for Prosperity, is one of the numerous organizations the Koch brothers fund in their attempt to influence public opinion on climate change.

Why are the Kochs so determined to throw money into convincing people climate change doesn’t exist?

The answer is because several of their businesses rely on environmentally toxic practices. One of those companies, according to Investopedia, is the Koch Pipeline Company.

The company provides transportation for crude oil, natural

gas and other resources that produce large amounts of carbon dioxide, a danger to the environment.

It’s bad business for the brothers, then, if the public supports action against climate change, as it could lead to a reduced need for the resources the Koch brothers have made their fortune on.

Even though I’m sharply critical of the Kochs’ record on climate change, I do admire them for donating money to other various charitable efforts.

The PBS program “Nova” receives funding from one of their foundations, and one of the brothers even gave $100 million to create a center for medical and cancer research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

It’s disappointing to see the brothers are adamant doubters of climate change.

When the bottom line is involved, the environment takes a back seat in their view.

TRISTAN FITZPATRICK is a junior in journalism and history.

When it comes to environmental policy research, accepting money from these cynics of global warming should be the last place one looks for reliable, scientifically sound sources of funding.

To protect the reputation of the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the University in general, a commitment to finding these sources of funding must be made by each and every professor to prevent potential conflicts of interest from occurring.

That way the public gets research that is impartial, nonbiased. It won’t be politically motivated. ttfitzpa@indiana.edu @tfitzwrites

B.o.B. manipulates popular culture Since rapper B.o.B. took to Twitter insisting the Earth is flat, the pushback from scientifically literate and sensible portions of the populace has been overwhelming.

The population, particularly the science community, decided it was time to speak up against such ignorance.

Much of the attention this debate drew hinged on the assumption B.o.B. actually believed what he was saying.

Along with news articles from CNN, the New York Times, the Guardian and others, all of astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s objections centered on this.

There were even further analyses citing the underlying issues of mistrust in science and the government that may have played into B.o.B.’s claims.

All of these took the situation totally at face value.

They didn’t believe it was a stunt of any sort.

When only considering what was said, this make sense. Someone said something wrong, so they’re corrected; this is fair.

But we haven’t yet given enough thought as to why B.o.B. might have said any of this.

I think we should consider B.o.B. might not actually believe the Earth was flat.

If this were the case, it would be an extremely savvy publicity stunt to provoke the self-righteous science enthusiasts into noisy online battles.

That way he can reestablish himself in the public eye and rekindle his popularity.

I say this is clever because he had to know that any inaccuracy — no matter how ludicrous or undeserving of thought — would still get a reaction from the public representatives of science.

JACOB WORRELL is a freshman in neuroscience.

One might think someone shouting the Earth is flat would gain no conversational foothold. People would simply ignore it.

B.o.B., it would seem, knew better.

Not only that, but he had to realize just how much noise scientific issues tend to generate online.

Otherwise he wouldn’t have seen fit to use this issue for his scandal.

It’s also possible this was simply a gamble. In this case he’s not necessarily well-informed, just very lucky.

In any case, the online community fell into his manipulation exactly as he intended. This would all be for the high ideals of reason and empiricism.

This reflects certain social trends, one of which is the increased popularity of association with science.

This is something that’s already been acknowledged.

Something that isn’t getting much attention is the fierce loyalty that comes with this allegiance to science.

It was clear, regardless of whether or not B.o.B. actually held this conviction, his clamoring for attention only deserved to be ignored.

Still some people are so compelled to maintain the sanctity of science that they have to correct him.

But while he was wrong, it isn’t necessarily appropriate to correct him.

That will only lead to one of two conclusions: he denies everything either because he believes the Earth is flat or because he wants everyone to think he believes the Earth is flat.

Either way, we lose.

Back down, people. jacob.worrell@gmail.com

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Winter is coming. Or is it really? This December and January we have already experienced a wide range of temperatures that don’t make it easy to determine what to wear and what to do.

But, however much it snows on the East Coast these days — and arguably, the latest heavy snow can itself be attributed to global climate change — a yet more striking fact is that our planet’s overall temperature has steadily risen, with 2015 being the hottest year on record since such record keeping began in the late 1800s.

Any given natural event, however damaging, can be dismissed as somehow anomalous, but a continuing pattern of increasing temperatures is precisely that — a pattern.

This one, according to climate scientists, is best explained by us humans being over reliant on fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are those resources like coal, natural gas and petroleum that we use daily in various ways.

Most of us know this and still the university is not acting despite what would be the reasonable thing to do.

IU is heavily invested in the fossil fuel industry. Indiana University’s endowment is one of the largest in the country, but folks at the university foundation have said that even reanalyzing their funds would be merely “symbolic.”

In fact, IU’s investments could be safely transferred to environmentally sound sources, a move which is as much justified economically as it is morally. IU’s current slogan is “keeping the promise” — whatever exactly that means.

Manifestly, however, there will be no keeping of promises if human life on this planet becomes physi-

cally impossible, which will happen if worldwide temperatures continue to increase beyond a very small percentage. Some people may dismiss this claim as alarmist, but in this case the alarm has been sounded by the climate scientists themselves.

Among the groups on campus which are concerned with such pressing issues is Reinvest IU, an official student organization which also includes some faculty members, like me.

As its name indicates, the group is working towards the goal of getting IU to shift its investments from industries and technologies, which worsen overall climate change, to the technologies of the future.

Similar groups are taking similar actions on many other college campuses around the country and the world.

More than 100 colleges and universities — Stanford, for

example — have already pledged to “divest.” What is Indiana University waiting for?

Anyone who wants information about the group should go to www.facebook. com/reinvestIU. Anyone who wants to join the group is invited to this semester’s first callout meeting at 7 p.m. Feb. 4 in Woodburn 121.

There will also be a training and team workshop beginning at noon Feb. 13 in Student Building 015. Of course, the Reinvest IU team will work together in various ways with other campus groups during the upcoming Sustain IU Week beginning Feb. 29.

The silent threat Tuesday marked the 73rd anniversary of the Allied victory at Stalingrad.

After six months of horror and destruction, the Battle of Stalingrad screeched to an abrupt end in 1943.

The snowdrifts couldn’t freeze the hearts of freedom lovers around the world as the Soviet Union dealt a decisive defeat to the then-unstoppable Nazi military.

In the decades since, American national security has only become more convoluted.

But if we look closer to home, we will spot a different kind of national security threat — a silent killer that has crept up on us for years.

This threat isn’t another war. It’s what we owe.

The U.S. national debt eclipsed $19 trillion in the final days of January.

Just how much money is $19 trillion?

Imagine strolling onto a football field and setting a $100 bill on the turf.

Then, blanket the rest of that entire football field, including both end zones, in $100 bills. You would need more than 500,000 bills to finish the job.

To represent the entire $19 trillion national debt, you would need more than 367,000 football fields covered in a carpet of currency.

CHRIS MITCHELL is a junior in accounting and marketing.

You don’t need to be a business student to know that too much debt is considered bad.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, a swelling national debt can lead to issues ranging from reduced economic output to a greater risk of another financial crisis.

At its worst, an unsustainable national debt becomes a serious national security threat with the potential to torpedo a whole nation.

Unless both political parties in Congress are willing to slash some of their cherished government programs, you can bet we will only plunge farther down this waterslide until eventually the United States starts drowning in economic paralysis.

Can the raging growth of our national debt be stopped?

Three years into World War II, no one knew if the Nazi advance could be stopped. Then came the Battle of Stalingrad, and the rest was history. mitcchri@indiana.edu @AtlasMitchell

Musicians Drew Auscherman, left, and Jack Andrews discuss projects they’re working on at their home Jan.26 on the southeast side of campus. The pair, who perform regularly are prominent artists within the indie music scene.

Recording roommates Bandmates Jack Andrews and Drew Auscherman discuss their lo-fi bands

By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

There’s a band called Cleaners from Venus that Jack Andrews, the singer-guitarist of Bloomington shoegaze band Daguerreotype, said he could talk about all day.

Cleaners was formed in 1980 by a prolific songwriter named Martin Newell. Frustrated with the music industry, Newell began recording songs in his kitchen on days off and self-distributing the music on cassette tapes, which he sold at a low cost.

Newell wrote and recorded music for the joy of making music, Andrews said.

Andrews said his roommate and bandmate Drew Auscherman makes music for the same reasons, who also fronts the indie rock band HOOPS. Both HOOPS and Daguerreotype are lo-fi and self-recorded, and both have released music on tape.

Despite limited releases and Internet presences, the bands have recently garnered media attention outside of the Bloomington indie music scene, with HOOPS drawing mentions in prominent music outlets like the FADER and Gorilla vs. Bear.

“It did kind of come out of nowhere, but it’s nice that people are paying attention and listening and seem to like it,” Auscherman said. “I by no means want to be like, ‘Yeah, press is whatever.’ It’s cool. At the same time, it’s not everything, and it’s weird when people try to talk about it.”

The buzz came around the time Auscherman uploaded HOOPS’s “TAPE #1” to YouTube in early January. HOOPS released another demo, “TAPE #2,” and Daguerreotype, in which Auscherman plays drums, has one demo out and another on the way.

Aside from the recent press, Auscherman said he acknowledges there’s not much information about either band online — so little that he’s the only HOOPS member referenced in the blog buzz, even though bassist Kevin Krauter is involved in songwriting, too. That lack

of information is partially personal preference and partially in line with historical do-it-yourself mindsets, he said.

“It’s really weird to think about how easy it is for people to get all of your information,” he said. “I dislike that a lot, but I think a lot of the secretiveness is just having fun because even being secretive in indie rock and punk or whatever is totally overdone, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to do.”

The house the two musicians share bore marks of DIY musicianship: in the living room, a coffee table was covered with craft supplies, a box of cassette tapes rested on the floor and a borrowed Korg drum machine sat across the room.

“We sort of know what we’re

“Sometime in the last year or so, I realized that recording matters a hell of a lot more to me than playing live ... We both kind of stopped feeling like we had to play shows and felt more comfortable saying no.”

doing,” Andrews said. “It’s mostly about doing a lot of things and figuring out what works best.”

Both HOOPS and Daguerreotype draw heavily on ’80s pop and indie music. Andrews said he points to the Cleaners from Venus, early indie band Felt and shoegaze legends My Bloody Valentine as his three primary influences.

Andrews said he has also been influenced by ’60s pop music, from the Byrds to the Beach Boys. Both members appreciate a human-technology dichotomy that’s affected their visual art elements, he said.

“We both like it when things look ... like something mechanical done by a human,” he said.

“It’s got the perfectionism of a machine, but it’s done by a human, so there’s going to be some human error in it.”

HOOPS, JADE TV AND BROWNIES Tickets $5 8 p.m. Saturday, the Blockhouse The roommates’ home-recording skills have improved over time, Andrews said. After a couple of years recording, he said he thinks the upcoming Daguerreotype demo is the best-sounding release he and Auscherman have come up with.

Andrews said he hopes to have that demo out sometime in the next month. It’s also more collaborative than the band’s first release, which saw him playing all the instruments on several tracks.

“For the most part, one of my goals for this one was to have everyone on it so it sounds more like the band,” he said.

In addition to their main projects, the roommates collaborated on a tape late last year under the name Gum. A straightforward rock project contrasting with the other projects’ reverberated tendencies, the Gum tape provided recording practice and a songwriting refresher, Auscherman said.

“At least for me, it makes myself feel like a fresh songwriter if I just don’t focus too much on one thing, because then I think things can go stale really fast,” he said.

And even though he and Andrews are active in the local music indie scene, Auscherman said they have no plans to play live shows with Gum. “Sometime in the last year or so, I realized that recording matters a hell of a lot more to me than playing live,” Auscherman said. “We both kind of stopped feeling like we had to play shows and felt more comfortable saying no.”

HOOPS’s immediate future includes a show Saturday at the Blockhouse with Grand Rapids, Michigan, band Jade TV. For Daguerreotype, Andrews said he has already started work on a third tape, and though he could see the band recording a full-length eventually, he’s taking the band step-by-step.

“Once we’re done with (tape) two, I’ll start doing three,” he said.

“I love the idea of always doing something.”

MENS’ BASKETBALL

FERRELL KEYS IU’S RUN AGAINST MICHIGAN

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94

ANN ARBOR, Michigan — He had two defenders directly in front of him.

Senior guard Yogi Ferrell dribbled around both players before drawing two more points at the top of the key.

But as those two defenders drifted toward Ferrell, junior forward Troy Williams cut to the basket.

Ferrell lobbed the ball to the now wide-open Williams for an alley-oop as part of a 28-0 run in IU’s 80-67 win Tuesday at the Crisler Center.

Ferrell scored six points with four assists during the 11:11 stretch.

“Yogi did a great job of understanding how the game was being played,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “Early when we were trying to come back, the ball was in his hands a little too long. The quicker he gives it up, the quicker he gives it back. That’s when we’re running good offense.”

The lob to Williams was the second straight hookup between the two — the first coming after Ferrell got into the lane once again drew defenders, and found a wideopen Troy Williams cutting toward the basket for an easy layup.

Ferrell’s two other assists during the run came after.

The first was to set up senior guard Nick Zeisloft from 3-point range. The last was to set up a 3-pointer by freshman forward OG Anunoby, IU’s last three points of the run.

HALEY WARD | IDS

Senior guard Yogi Ferrell (11) high fives junior forward Troy Williams during the game against Michigan on Tuesday at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Ferrell’s six points both came from behind the arc as well. Those were the only two 3-pointer he attempted during the run, and he finished 3-of-6 from behind the arc.

In total, he scored a gamehigh 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field. He also dished out nine assists.

IU started the game poorly, trailing 15-4 at one point when IU Coach Tom

Crean called a timeout. IU was shooting 2-of-9 from the field and 0-of-5 from behind the arc. Immediately after the timeout, Ferrell briefly took over the Hoosier offense.

He drove through Michigan’s half-court defense to the basket on IU’s first two possessions for layups. The next possession he found Zeisloft for IU’s first 3-pointer of the game.

From the time Ferrell made that first layup to when he assisted on Anunoby’s 3-pointer early in the second half, the Hoosiers went on a 41-9 run.

What changed is that Ferrell started passing, essentially. Before that timeout, he did not have an assist. He had two misses from the behind the arc.

“This is why Ferrell is so

key,” Crean said. “He can struggle to start the game and adjust as it progresses.”

Before Crean called that first timeout, Ferrell hadn’t made a shot. He had missed two from behind the arc.

He didn’t have an assist.

The entirety of Ferrell’s stat line came after that timeout with 14:30 left in the first half.

Ferrell actually didn’t score in the last 10 minutes

of the game, either. He did have two more assists though, leaving him one shy of his first career double-double.

“Yogi constantly gets better inside of the game,” Crean said. “That’s why he’s such a great player and such a great leader. He figures out the game, he figures out what’s there, he makes adjustments, he listens and he brings his teammates with him.”

HEAR ME OUT

COLUMN: IU proves itself with dominant road win against Michigan ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN — Pick your moment. The alley-oop to junior forward Troy Williams? The 3-pointer from Collin Hartman or Yogi Ferrell? Oh, it was probably the nonsensically deep 3-pointer from senior guard Nick Zeisloft to make it a 25-point run.

Somewhere along this run, IU proved itself.

It proved it can beat a pretty good Big Ten team.

It proved it can do so on the road.

The Hoosiers beat down the Wolverines so bad Tuesday that the crowd began its mass exodus with about

10 minutes left in the game.

The final 13-point differential didn’t do justice to what was a blowout.

Many of us in the media were saying IU hadn’t beat anybody, that it’s been winning against the bottom of the conference.

Maybe it still hasn’t beaten anybody good, but IU looked like it could hang with anyone in the country Tuesday.

What was so impressive in this win might not even be the 28-0 run or the way IU dominated Michigan in the Crisler Center. What was so impressive was the way it bat-

tled back after facing adversity on the road against a solid opponent.

The Hoosiers went down 15-4 in enemy territory to open this game. The Wolverines had wide open 3-point looks and the Hoosiers couldn’t control the ball or make a shot.

IU only made 2-of-8 3-pointers to start. This came after a Saturday game against Minnesota when IU shot 2-of18 from deep. But Crean said Saturday shooting isn’t going to be something he worries about with this team.

Ferrell, a senior guard,

attributed the shooting woes Saturday to not driving and kicking enough.

So what did IU do Tuesday when shooting was off?

It drove to the basket consistently and it drove to the basket well. Everybody was contributing and Michigan couldn’t quite stop it.

This adjustment willed the Hoosiers back into the game and next thing you know — much like Crean predicted — shooters were open and shots were falling. They made four of their next five shots from beyond the arc.

The Hoosiers weren’t

2016 National Signing Day Preview

By Teddy Bailey eebailey@indiana.edu @TheTeddyBailey

Following an overtime loss to Duke in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium, IU Coach Kevin Wilson and his assistants have followed the recruiting trail across the country.

Prior to Wednesday’s National Signing Day, Wilson’s staff has gained 16 commitments along with two junior college transfers in quarterback Richard Lagow and defensive back Jayme Thompson — both players have signed their National Letters of Intent and enrolled at IU. On Wednesday, Wilson’s staff will hope to see the signed letters of their 16 committed players, as well as those from uncommitted players. Here’s a look at IU’s committed players in the Class of 2016.

Quarterbacks After the graduation of IU’s all-time passing leader, quarterback Nate Sudfeld, the Hoosiers secured a pair of quarterback commitments in the 2016 class. Richard Lagow, who spent time with both Connecticut and Oklahoma State, is expected to compete with rising junior Zander Diamont for the starting quarterback position. Lagow has two years of eligibility remaining after playing for Cisco

Community College in Texas.

The pro-style quarterback has already begun classes in Bloomington.

The Hoosiers also gained a commitment from Cincinnatinative Peyton Ramsey at the quarterback position. A 3-star rated player, he committed to Wilson’s staff in late April 2015.

Ramsey chose the Hoosiers over offers from high-majors Wake Forest, Illinois, Cincinnati and Boston College, among others. Ramsey is expected to sign with IU tomorrow.

Running Backs With junior running back Jordan Howard declaring for the NFL Draft, the path is paved for rising junior Devine Redding, who also rushed for over 1,000 yards in 2015. The Hoosiers have one committed running back in Cole Gest, a 3-star back from Lakewood, Ohio. Gest, at just 5-foot-8, is expected to sign with IU over offers from four Mid-American Conference programs The Hoosiers are also hoping to gain a committment from Indianapolis running back Kiante Ellis on Wednesday.

Ellis is currently uncommitted after decomitting from Michigan.

IU also gained a commitment from the fifthbest fullback in the country, Tyler Natee, according to 247Sports. Natee, who played running back at Trinity High School in Texas, committed to Wilson’s program Dec. 29

after considering Arkansas State, Baylor and Southern Methodist University. Natee can play a variety of positions in college at 5-11, 258 pounds, including tight end.

Receivers In 2016, IU returns top receivers in rising junior Simmie Cobbs Jr as well as rising seniors Ricky Jones and Mitchell Paige. Regardless, the Hoosiers have a commitment from 6-foot-2 Florida receiver Philip Benker, who pledged to IU over ten Division I offers. With IU’s top-two tight ends, Anthony Corsaro and Michael Cooper, graduating, Wilson added a pair of tight ends to compete for playing time. 3-star JUCO transfer Ian Thomas is committed to sign with IU despite a late Texas A&M offer, while 2-star Georgia-native Shaun Bonner picked the Hoosiers over Georgia Southern.

Mackenzie Nworah, a 3-star offensive guard from Texas, and Grayson Stover, a 3-star OT from Florida. Nworah chose IU over Arizona State, Missouri and Oklahoma State, while Stover flipped from South Florida to IU last week.

Stover is 6-foot-6, 300 pounds.

Ryan Smith is the fourth offensive lineman to commit to the Hoosiers thus far — Smith is a 3-star player from Cincinnati that chose IU early in June of 2015.

Offensive Line Offensive line coach Grey Frey and Wilson benefited from producing a pair of AllAmerican offensive lineman this past season in Jason Spriggs and rising senior Dan Feeney. IU has four offensive lineman committed in the 2016 class, which features 4-star offensive tackle Coy Cronk, who was recruited in rival Purdue’s backyard at Central Catholic.

The Hoosiers also secured late commitments from

Defensive Line While the majority of IU’s commitments come on the offensive side of the ball, Wilson has been able to add a pair of two defensive linemen. Most recently, Mississippi native Jerome Johnson tweeted Tuesday that he had committed to play in Bloomington.

Johnson is a 6-4, 280 pound tackle that ultimately picked IU over the SEC’s Mississippi State. Along with Johnson, unranked defensive end Allen Stallings is committed to the Hoosiers over just one FBS offer from Central Michigan.

IU is also hoping to land twostar defensive end Jacoby Hill, among other defensive linemen.

discouraged when they trailed early on and they adjusted to what wasn’t working. That’s the greater growth.

This is only the beginning of IU’s brutal 9-game stretch to end the regular season. The team still has to face the four premiere teams in the Big Ten. But beating the best Big Ten team they have played yet was important for the Hoosiers.

Michigan was also set to be the best offense IU had played yet this season. IU managed to hold it to 21-of 54 shooting when taking Michigan’s garbage-time run out of the equation.

BRODY MILLER is a junior in journalism.

One of the most interesting things as the game closed out was watching the demeanors of the two coaches. Michigan Coach John Beilein was sitting in his seat, his head shaking continuously in disapproval.

Crean, on the other hand, was as active as ever, hooting and hollering at his players. Maybe that’s because he knows this IU team is good, and it’s worth pushing.

local control,” Buttigieg said.

“So our question is, ‘why would you pass a bill that would undercut local government’s ability to address these issues?’”

Buttigieg said this is in part because legislators have “fallen out of touch” with the majority of Hoosiers.

The Indiana Urban Mayors Caucus, however, unanimously supported the retention of local civil rights, according to the press release.

The IUMC represents all Indiana cities with more than 30,000 residents.

The caucus includes Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and Carmel Mayor James Brainard, who “urged lawmakers to work to-

16-0 run.

“They’re tremendous in transition,” Beilein said. “Yogi Ferrell is as good a point guard as there is because he can shoot off the bounce, he finds people — he’s playing team ball.”

Things got worse for Michigan. After starting the game 0-for-5 from 3-point range, the Hoosiers caught fire. They ended the half on three consecutive long-range shots.

“I’m not going to make excuses, they’re really good at what they do and we couldn’t stay in front of them,” Beilein said. “And few people have.

They’re averaging 80 damn points a game.”

With such a big lead, IU didn’t want to give it up like they had just days before in a

close win against Minnesota.

In that game, the Hoosiers held a 16-point first-half advantage before the Gophers came back.

Tuesday night, IU Coach Tom Crean knew they needed a strong start in the second half.

He got it. Freshman forward OG Anunoby, who finished with 11 points, knocked down a three and the Hoosiers never let up.

28-0 run.

IU’s advantage on the scoreboard doesn’t exist without stop after stop. That’s what Crean was most impressed with, and where IU has shown the most improvement on its way to a 9-1 Big Ten record.

“You’re not going to win the game with your offense,” Crean said. “Once we settled in and we were able to go on that run, it was because they kept guarding.”

always receives questions from parents asking, “How could this happen?”

Rashid said she felt the news about the investigation left just as many questions unanswered.

“It would be nice if we could tie up loose ends, but that’s not what this is, or at least not yet,” she said.

Across the country, in Washington state a retired law enforcement officer named Dan Hally has been actively following the Spierer case.

He came across her case while working on similar cases within his department and was drawn to the family’s dedicated efforts to find her, he said.

He ended up speaking with her parents and volunteered to help search for any

relevant information.

Hally said he ended up providing BPD with information pertaining to the case, but he is not sure if or how it was used.

Since December 2015, he has been blogging about her case and missing persons cases in general, hoping to encourage people to come forward to the police with any information they might have.

In response to the possible developments from Thursday, Hally said there was not enough information available to really make any judgments, but he said he is glad to see BPD continues to actively work on the case.

“We’re all really waiting to see how it pans out,” Hally said. “Whether it leads somewhere or not, it’s just too early to tell.”

“The police have been so tight-lipped about this whole thing,” Leonard said. “Despite the silence, they are working on this.”

“I think the family desperately needs resolution,” Silberberg said. “This has been hard for everyone, especially them. I hope for the family’s sake that they get some closure.”
