AN IU GPA CALCULATOR GAVE STUDENTS ACCESS TO OTHER STUDENTS’ GPAS AND GRADES. The calculator may have violated federal privacy law.

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@iu.edu

An official IU GPA calculator allowed students, faculty and staff to access the grades of at least 100,000 current and former students in apparent violation of federal privacy law.

The university took down the tool Tuesday within an hour of being notified about the situation by the Indiana Daily Student.

The calculator appears to have exposed current undergraduate and graduate students from IU-Bloomington, IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, IU-Purdue University Columbus and possibly other campuses, as well as students who graduated in 2015 and later.

The tool, under the domain of the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, allowed students to calculate their GPAs for specific types of classes by selecting the courses that were factored into the calculation. The IDS discovered the search function allowed access to other students’ grades and notified the university.

Grades, test scores and courses taken are education

records protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which bars schools receiving public funding from releasing grades without prior written consent.

“This is a clear FERPA violation,” said LeRoy Rooker, former director of the Department of Education’s Family Policy Compliance Office and a leading authority on educational privacy law. “There’s not any gray area here. You just can’t have that.”

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said Tuesday that he was not aware of the GPA search function until the IDS brought it to his attention.

While logged in under a reporter’s student account, he used it to look up his own grades from his Ph.D. program.

His GPA and grades popped up on the screen. He got an A in Research Ethics in fall 2009.

His eyes widened.

“Well, that’s wild,” he said.

The webpage was intended for internal use only, Carney said, and was not supposed to be available to students and others. He does not yet know who is responsible for creating the calculator or making it accessible to students and other IU affiliates, but he said IU

webpages usually go through multiple hands before being published.

IU will investigate how many students have been affected and why the calculator was made accessible to students, Carney said.

“Are they equally careless with the rest of my information?

How are we supposed to trust them?"

Carley Berg, IU senior

“We really do take the student security aspect of this very seriously,” he said. “We have to be very, very careful about anything we reveal about a student, and we can’t take these things lightly.”

While it rarely happens, the Department of Education could have pulled IU’s federal funding if the university didn’t fix the problem, said Indiana public access counselor Luke Britt.

Students to perform Beethoven’s piano sonatas

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu

Jacobs School of Music will present its third concert of the Beethoven Piano Sonata Festival at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Auer Hall. The concert is one of twelve, and Jacobs students will perform them in the spring and coming fall.

Professor David Cartledge, cochair of Jacobs' piano department, said the festival is one of Jacobs’ ways of celebrating Beethoven’s 250th birthday. Six concerts will be performed this spring .

“It’s an opportunity over the course of a year to really get exposed to the amazing contribution Beethoven made to the development of the repertoire for the piano,” Cartledge said.

Beethoven published 32 piano sonatas in his lifetime, and ideally one student will perform each sonata, Cartledge said.

In the two previous concerts, three sonatas were performed each time, but there will be two on Tuesday night. The two pianists are Benjamin Elliott, a senior studying

piano performance, and William Chiang, a first-year masters student studying piano performance. Elliott will perform Sonata in A Major, Op. 101, and Chiang will perform Sonata in E-Flat Major, Op. 7.

The students were selected by a nomination and competition process, Cartledge said. The faculty in the piano department nominated

students for specific sonatas. Sometimes, more than one student was nominated for a sonata, and a group of faculty made the decision blindly by listening to recordings of each student performing the sonata without knowing whose recording it was.

The piano department is in the process of deciding which students will perform in March.

“There are some professional pianists that have been celebrating by performing all 32, and that’s long been a huge achievement,” Elliott said. “But to do it as a department is a real opportunity to showcase the students that we have in the school.”

Beethoven’s work is divided into three periods — early, middle and late. The series does not showcase the sonatas in order, Elliott said.

Chiang’s piece is one of Beethoven’s very first piano sonatas, while Elliott’s is from the composer's late period after he had gone deaf.

“It’s among the less-played of Beethoven’s 32 sonatas,” Chiang said of his piece. “It’s the first one that he wrote that was on a really revolutionary scale.”

Jacobs will also present Beethoven’s five piano concertos, Cartledge said. The first three will be performed in the spring.

Jacobs quartet-in-residence, the Pacifica Quartet, is also playing Beethoven's sixteen string quartets in a series of six concerts to celebrate.

Tuesday’s concert is free for everyone and does not require tickets.

IU rises in latest AP poll

By Sam Bodnar sbodnar@iu.edu | @sgbod13

IU women’s basketball advanced two spots to No. 18 in the latest AP Poll on Monday following back-to-back victories at home.

After dropping three consecutive games, IU defeated Penn State on the road Jan. 23 and took down Minnesota and Wisconsin at home on Jan. 27 and Jan. 30 to move into fourth in the Big Ten standings.

The Hoosiers overcame a 16-point deficit in their overtime win against the Badgers on Jan. 30.

They outscored their conference rival 37-17 in the final 15 minutes of play with the help of three players who tallied 15 or more points.

During this stretch, the program announced the departure of two players on Jan. 31.

Junior guard Bendu Yeaney is entering the transfer portal along with freshman guard Shaila Beeler.

Yeaney said in a press release that she wanted to play closer to home in light of family illnesses, and Beeler has yet to see time on the court this season.

Three conference games await IU this week, the first being on the road against Purdue on Monday.

IU will return to Bloomington on Thursday for a rematch with Maryland and will then travel to Nebraska on Sunday.

IU senior to compete in 'Jeopardy!'

College

By Shelby Anderson anderssk@iu.edu | @ShelbyA04288075

This Midwestern college with the Hoosiers as a mascot will be sending a student to a "Jeopardy!" championship later this semester.

What is Indiana University?

IU senior Tyler Combs will be one of 15 students to compete in the "Jeopardy!" College Championship in April.

Combs is from Greenfield, Indiana, according to a press release from "Jeopardy!". The championship will run April 6 to 17.

“It's a nice way of closing out my time at IU,” Combs said in an interview with the Indiana Daily Student.

He will be competing alongside students from colleges across the country including Yale University, Princeton University, the University of California San Diego and Northwestern University, according to the release.

The process for selection began in September when he took an online exam, Combs said. The next step involved an audition in St. Louis that consisted of another test, round simulations and personality interviews.

Along with the $100,000 grand prize, the winner of the 10-day tournament will also have a chance to compete in the next edition of the "Jeopardy!" Tournament of Champions, according to the release. In the Tournament of Champions, contestants who have won the most games in the prior season as well as the winners of the Teachers Tournament and College Championship compete against one another for a $250,000 prize.

"Jeopardy!" is in its 36th season and is hosted by Alex Trebek.

He tried to prepare by staying up to date on the four categories he considers staples for “Jeopardy!”: history, literature, politics and geography.

Combs was in California Monday to film all of the episodes in two days.

“It’s two super long days for two weeks of content,” Combs said.

Combs said his episode of Jeopardy College Championship will air April 10.

Pregnant workers bill fails

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

A bill that would have given accommodations to pregnant workers such as longer and more frequent breaks failed in the Indiana Senate on Monday.

The original bill held wide-range bipartisan support, including that of Gov. Eric Holcomb, but failed to pass. Support for the bill included a coalition of Indiana businesses, policy and legislative groups and volunteer organizations, which publicly petitioned the General Assembly for the passage of the bill.

The Indiana Senate instead voted to pass an added amendment that will turn the bill into an in-depth study rather than a law. Sen. Andy Zay added the amendment,which would create a summer study to investigate the conditions of pregnant workers.

“It’s heartbreaking that this bill didn’t pass,” said Kate Hess Pace, executive director of Hoosier Action. “It’s shameful for the senators who run on pro-life stances.”

Hoosier Action is one of the vocal groups of the coalition, which petitioned against Zay’s amendment when it was added to the bill.

The bill would have created reasonable accommodations such as longer and more frequent breaks, the ability to sit while working or temporary changes of duties. The bill would also have allowed women to be secure in their employment while they’re pregnant. It would allow them to feel comfortable asking for reasonable accommodations without any fear, Hess Pace said.

“It takes the burden of responsibility off of the employee,” said Tim Brown, director of policy and legislative affairs and general counsel for the Indy Chamber. “It clearly states the reasonable accommodations that the employer would have to provide.”

Indy Chamber is one leader of the coalition of Indiana groups and businesses, along with the Indiana Institute for Working Families and the March of Dimes.

Dr. Sarah Stelzner, assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at the IU School of Medicine, testified Jan. 27 in support of the bill on the State Senate floor. She said it was a commonsense bill that would address the infant mortality rates in Indiana and hopefully reduce poor outcomes.

Mothers don’t always know their rights,

Stelzner said, especially low-income and minority women. Mothers need the knowledge to advocate for themselves and for their children, she said. Even when she first became a mother in the medical field, Stelzner said she was not given these small accommodations.

Indiana has the 26th-worst preterm birth rate and ranks seventh in infant mortality in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Indiana, nearly 85,000 women give birth each year. Research found reductions in preterm births when women limit their daily exposure to harsh work conditions, according to a press release from the Institute of Working Families.

Nationwide, an estimated 250,000 pregnant workers are denied small accommodations each year in the United States because of the lack of clear legislation for how to accommodate pregnant workers. Pushing pregnant women out of their jobs is still common, even if they only need small accommodations, like to sit down, according to the press release.

“I don’t know if things will get any better without this bill,” Stelzner said. “I don’t think they can get much worse.”

It is also important to focus on the ability of new mothers to breastfeed, Stelzner said. If every mother was able to breastfeed for the first six months of the child’s life, the health industry would save $13 billion, because breastfeeding is healthier for both mothers and babies, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Accommodating postpartum mothers is as important as accommodating pregnant mothers, she said.

“Education is not enough,” Stelzner said. “We need to legislate these commonsense ideas in order to be effective and to protect families.”

An 18-year-old Bloomington man was arrested Tuesday after reportedly raping a 20-year-old woman he met on Tinder at his house on North Smith Road, police said.

The man, Derrick Brown, was arrested at his home Tuesday night on preliminary rape charges.

Bloomington Police Department Capt. Ryan Pedigo said the woman who reported the rape said she met Brown on the dating app Tinder. He allegedly offered to pay her $10,000 to take nude photos at his house.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development gave $1.7 million in grants to local organizations to combat homelessness in Bloomington. The Shalom Community Center is getting $1.1 million, renewing the grants they received.

The funding comes from HUD’s Continuum of Care program, which helps people who frequently experience homelessness and works to minimize the effect

on people and families. The other two organizations receiving grant money are IUHealth Bloomington, which is receiving about $240,000, and Centerstone Indiana Inc., which is receiving about $347,000, HUD spokesperson Marta Juaniza said.

“We believe that really one homeless American is one too many,” Juaniza said.

These funds are part of the$23.8 million across Indiana that HUD is giving to different homeless initiatives and assistance programs, Juaniza said. She said

Shalom Community Center, located on Walnut Street, provides resources for people experiencing homelessness and poverty.

The center received a $1.1 million grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

the department’s mission is to end homelessness as people know it and to keep any experience of homelessness brief, rare and a one-time occurrence. However, the department couldn’t do the work it does without the different organizations which help them.

“The partnership is very crucial,” Juaniza said.

Rev. Forrest Gilmore, Shalom Community Center executive director, said this grant money is renewable and has been a staple of center funding for years.

The organization works with people from the moment they become homeless until they are back on their feet if that’s an achievable goal.

He said the nonprofit works a lot with people who experience homelessness, and the grant money is going toward the permanent supportive housing programs the center offers. The permanent supportive housing program helps people who are chronically homeless and have a disability or a family member who has a disability, Gilmore said.

Pedigo said the woman went to his house Jan. 29 and gave him consent to take the photos. Pedigo said police reports didn’t mention whether the two exchanged money. The woman told police Brown asked to have sex with her, but she said no. She said he then raped her.

She told police she felt scared because she was told Brown owned guns. Police found a handgun when they searched Brown’s home.

Pedigo said detectives brought Brown in for questioning and found inconsistencies in his statement.

Brown was booked into the Monroe County Jail.

ana, Smith said.

“Our athletes compete and train locally,” Smith said. “These funds make it so that our athletes can do these things at no cost to them.”

IUPD Deputy Chief Shannon Bunger said IUPD is having an in-house competition to raise the most money between the officers.

“Anytime we can be involved in any aspect of the community, we are happy to do so,” Bunger said. “And with Special Olympics, because that’s a great organization, any chance we get to pair up with them for anything, we certainly take advantage of the opportunity.

Bunger said he and other IUPD employees are planning to take the plunge. He said they’ll also provide on site security.

Smith said the Special Olympics is a movement for inclusion.

“We are changing the world with being inclusive, we never want to turn someone away because of financial needs,” Smith said.

“This is a lifesaving program which helps people get out from the streets, the woods, the bushes,” Gilmore said. “It’s there to support people as long as they need that support.”

Bloomington spokesperson Yaël Ksander said these different community organizations work on providing people experiencing homelessness help to get back on their feet. Having an address opens up the ability to do their laundry, job opportunities and more to people who otherwise wouldn’t have access to these necessities.

The affordable housing crisis is something that affects all parts of the country, and Bloomington has not been spared. Ksander said the city is working with these agencies to help grapple with these problems, and these organizations offer a myriad of ways to help people, whether it be substance abuse support or helping people with disabilities.

“These are the agencies that are just absolutely pillars of our community,” Ksander said.

A new study from research scientists at the IU School of Education’s Center for Postsecondary Research found first-year college students of color who choose their roommate perceive a more positive campus environment than those who do not.

Researchers at the center collected data from first-year students at 76 universities.

The study examined roommate choice and diverse interactions on campuses.

Researcher Kevin Fosnacht said he was curious about institutions’ roommate policies and their effects on students.

“Some college universities require that students be matched with their roommates by their institution,” he said. “The reason these institutions were doing this was to try to get students to live with and interact with people who are different than them.”

Fosnacht said some institutions pair white students with students of color to increase diverse interactions, but these living arrangement policies limit students’ rooming choices.

The study found that Asian, black and multiracial students who were assigned roommates by their institution perceived a less welcoming campus environment than their same-race peers who chose their roommates.

“For them to feel safe, secure and a sense of belonging, it’s helpful for them to live in a space where they share background and values with someone, as opposed to having to go outside the room to find students that are like themselves,” researcher Robert Gonyea said.

The data also revealed that students of color were less like-

ly to choose their roommates than white students, suggesting a lack of resources to help underrepresented students find a suitable roommate.

“The roommate situation is really critical because that’s where you live and spend a lot of your time,” Gonyea said. “It’s a really intimate kind of setting.”

Gonyea said institutions should be mindful of the consequences when creating residential policies.

“What we would hope is that schools would continue to allow students to find their own roommates,” Gonyea said. “Because that, particularly for students of color, provides a safe home setting where they can feel comfortable in their own culture.”

Junior Mariah Villaroman served as a resident assistant last year in Teter Quad. Villaroman is a person of color.

She lived in a single room her freshman year. She said roommate choices and preferences vary from student to student. She said some residents enjoy being paired with a random roommate.

“For others, especially for students of color, when they do choose their roommates and are able to live with members of their own community of color, I think it helps establish an element of solidarity among them,” Villaroman said.

She said students of color may be comforted by sharing a room because IU’s campus is predominantly white. Only 24% of IU-Bloomington’s student population is domestic students of color, according to IU’s website.

“As a person of color, I do find it comforting when I have someone who literally looks like me and understands a bit of how we go about living on campus through the lens of being a student of color,” Villaroman said.

CORRECTIONS In the Feb. 3 issue of the IDS, the article “Proposed tax would fight climate change” misstated the affected area and tax rates. The tax will affect Monroe County and the current tax rate is 1.345%. The proposed rate is 1.845%. The article “IU conducts funding search workshops” incorrectly stated who could attend the workshop.

The IDS regrets these errors.

The Standard Grain to open on Valentine’s Day

By Ben Price beprice@iu.edu | @bbenpprice54

The Standard Grain Restaurant is set to open with a Valentine’s Sweetheart Dinner on Feb. 14. The restaurant will be located at 403 N. Walnut St., the former location of an event center called Topo’s 403.

Some menu options for the Valentine’s dinner include filet mignon and oven roasted duck breast. The dinner will have room for 80 people, but owner and executive chef Michael Pantall said they are taking reservations and spots are still available. A ribbon-cutting event for the restaurant is planned for Feb. 12 before it opens.

“The building has been renovated gorgeously, and now it’s my job to bring it back to life,” Pantall said.

Pantall said he has been a chef for more than 40 years and his wife has been heavily involved in the fair trade retail industry, so the two wanted to combine their passions.

“Bloomington, being a very enlightened, very progressive city, is just the place

to bring all that together,” Pantall said. Pantall said since he was raised in New Delhi and lived in Madrid and the Caribbean, the restaurant will serve international cuisine.

The Standard Grain Restaurant will also offer a pet menu to benefit the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Pantall said the pet menu is specifically designed for animals, but can be eaten by humans.

It will include smaller portions, more grains, roasted vegetables and grilled proteins. Pantall said 15% of the proceeds from the pet menu will go to local pet shelters in Bloomington. Pantall said the restaurant will also sell fair trade art made by artists throughout the world. He said it benefits local communities because it supports where the pieces of art are made.

The name of the restaurant is a nod to the grain belt in Indiana, Pantall said. He said the name is a term used in agriculture to refer to different grains and sizing of grains.

“We are homegrown and we are grain oriented,” Pantall said.

Event series asks Vape, smoke stores see spike of fake IDs people to discuss their differences

By Cate Charron

IU faculty attended a presentation Tuesday at Campus View Apartments about the effects of microaggressions as part of a larger series for students and faculty on how cultural differences affect peoples’ experiences.

Aneesah Smith, director of diversity, equity and inclusion at Penn State Abington, kicked off Tuesday’s event with a presentation on understanding microaggressions and the power that comes with privilege.

Smith said that as a black lesbian woman, she has fears about places she and her wife travel outside of the U.S. She said they are considering traveling to Dubai, but it’s dangerous to be openly gay there.

“When I was growing up, I didn’t see people like me — people who are out and confident and living authentically,” Smith said.

The series, “Culture and the University,” was organized by Residential Programs and Services and is meant to educate people on how culture influences their university experience, according to the series’ description. Tuesday’s event was the second of five. Students and faculty went to different sessions of the discussion throughout the day.

The next event in the series is “Perspectives on Sexual Assault” at noon Feb. 19 at the School of Education auditorium. A full schedule of events is available here.

Smith defined privilege in her presentation as advantages that certain people are born with such as race, sexuality, mental health and socioeconomic status that make it easier to lead a traditionally successful life.

Smith encouraged people

to use their privilege to help others.

Smith said people can’t control whether they are born with privilege, so they should take that power and use it to help those who are commonly left out, Smith said.

Her presentation also focused on the different “isms” in today’s society such as sizeism, racism, classism and ableism. Ableism is less commonly talked about but is discrimination against someone’s physical disabilities, Smith said.

As the topics were being discussed, attendees shared their personal experiences with microaggressions and stereotypes.

Lloyd Graham, assistant director of residential life, said the most important takeaway from the discussion was that everyone can use their individual privilege to make positive changes for other people.

“We all hold privilege in a way, shape or form,” Graham said.

Attendee Alison Sinadinos works at IU as an emergency management coordinator and is a part of the Speakers Bureau, which provides contact information for speakers to visit campuses and speak on a particular topic. Sinadinos talks to classes about identities within the LGBTQ community. She said using her voice in these classes is part of her privilege.

Sinadinos said one of the struggles she has faced and has noticed students experiencing is microaggressions. One microagression she said she’s dealt with is people telling her she doesn’t look queer.

“People think it’s a compliment, but it’s very much not,” Sinadinos said.

“It’s an invalidation of who you are.”

Bloomington smoke and vape stores are seeing an increase in underage customers trying to buy tobacco products with fake IDs since a new federal law pushed the legal buying age to 21 in December.

Bloomington Smoke Time manager Brayton Phillips said he estimated around a 70% increase in people attempting to use fake IDs. Many of the IDs he turns away are real but do not belong to the person trying to use it.

“With the age increase, people want it even more,” Phillips said. “It’s almost an incentive.”

Phillips said there was

actually an increase in revenue within his store since the law was enacted. He said items like rolling papers and hemp wraps are still able to be bought by 18-year-olds, so more people are buying them.

He said he tries to not sell to people who are buying products for other underaged people, which is most obvious to him when he sees people outside waiting or the customer is on the phone.

Sam Salaymeh, the president of AMV Holdings, one of the country’s largest vape retailers with vape stores across multiple states, operates two MAXX Electronic Cigarettes stores in Bloomington.

“We anticipate a lot of fakes,” Salaymeh said about

the upcoming month. He said the company has dealt with fake IDs in the past but it was not a large issue.

Salaymeh has an automated computer ID verification system in place in all his stores across the country. He said his stores needed to update their software nationally to reflect the new change but were not given much time to do so because of how quickly the bill was passed.

Of AMV’s national revenue, 4.7% was from 18- to 20-year-olds. Salaymeh said he expects at least 0.5% of that revenue to continue to come from people buying products through older people. Salaymeh said one issue is that people are buying tobacco products to sell to younger

State of black-owned businesses discussed

By Ty Vinson vinsonjo@iu.edu | @ty_vinson_

Around 50 Bloomington residents gathered Tuesday at City Hall to listen to speakers talk about local black-owned businesses and the health of black people as part of the State of the Black Community address.

The address featured discussions on how the Bloomington community can better support local blackowned businesses and proper health care for black people. William Hosea, chairman of the Bloomington Housing Authority, emceed the event and led the discussion on issues black-owned businesses often face.

Hosea said black-owned businesses are less likely to be passed down to the next generation. He said they often have difficulty starting up, are more likely to be turned down for loans and are less likely to earn capital.

There are 42 black-owned businesses in Bloomington, and their annual revenues total more than $2.5 million, Hosea said. Almost 75% of the businesses are home-based as well, meaning they are run

from residences or online, not their own building.

The best way to overcome this issue is for the community to support local black-owned businesses, Hosea said.

Nichelle Whitney, chair of the Monroe County Women’s Commission, continued the discussion by talking about the health of black men.

Her talk focused on black men being uncomfortable with the idea of identifying as anything other than heterosexual, despite having had sex with other men. She said this often leads to these men not having safe sex.

“One in two black men who have had sex with men will contract HIV,” Whitney said.

Whitney said a study about black male health was conducted in 2018 in Monroe County. She said the study surveyed 117 people and 45 people took part in focus groups. The participant’s ages ranged from 18 to 74.

Only about 48% of participants said they trust their physicians enough to talk to them about sexual health and go through with suggested treatments, Whitney said. She

said 70% of those surveyed said they would not be willing to take PrEP, an anti-HIV medication, and more than 50% of those surveyed said they haven’t heard of PrEP. Many men reported they didn’t talk about health issues with their doctors because they felt they could pray the issues away, Whitney said.

Whitney said many of these issues with health care stem from adverse childhood experiences, which are potentially traumatic experiences that occur during childhood.

About 85% of participants in the study said they have had one or more adverse childhood experiences.

Whitney said she wants to send information from the surveys to IU Health to help physicians understand how to better approach these issues. Tennisha Riley, a postdoctoral fellow at IU’s Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society, spoke last about black mental health and how to understand racialized trauma.

Riley said 37.4% of black residents in Indiana report having some sort of mental illness such as depression or anxiety. She said this percent-

INDIANA DAILY STUDENT

age is similar to other races.

Riley said the causes and risks for mental illness in black people include racism and systematic oppression.

She said 90% of black adults and youth reported experiencing at least one incident of racial discrimination in the past year. For children, it happens most often in school, she said.

Poverty is a risk for mental illness as well, Riley said.

People are more likely to be diagnosed with depression if they’re below the poverty line. Riley said there is also a mistrust of medical professionals and that people often worry about microaggressions. She said only 2% of psychologists are black, so there aren’t many people of color providing psychological services.

“That shortage is a barrier to access to mental health care,” Riley said.

Riley said the best way to combat these issues is by preparing children for discrimination and instilling racial and cultural pride. She said doing this leads to better mental health and understanding, as well as better educational outcomes.

Senate acquits Trump in impeachment trial WASHINGTON — The Senate on Wednesday acquitted President Donald Trump of abusing the power of his office and obstructing Congress’ investigation into his conduct, ending the third presidential impeachment trial in American history.

Republicans and Democrats had appeared to be marching toward an entirely party-line vote. But Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, the party’s presidential candidate eight years ago, became the only GOP lawmaker to join Democrats in voting to convict the president for what he called “an appalling abuse of public trust.”

For Trump, the Senate verdict allows him to declare victory as he turns toward a reelection bid. But unlike any president in modern history, he will run under the stigma having been impeached by the House — a move with unknown political consequence.

Moreover, although Romney stood alone among Republicans in voting to convict Trump, he had company among his party’s senators in rejecting Trump’s repeated claim that his actions were “perfect.”

More than a half-dozen Republican senators have said they believe Trump’s actions regarding Ukraine were wrong, although they felt the conduct should not result in his removal from office.

The Senate voted 48-52 on the first article of impeachment, abuse of power, and 47-53 on the second article, obstruction of justice.

Romney voted against the second article. Both articles required 67 votes for approval.

The House impeached Trump in December for withholding nearly $400 million in U.S. aid to Ukraine while pressing the country’s

leaders to announce investigations into his political rivals, including former Vice President Joe Biden.

Romney’s decision allows Democrats to claim bipartisan support — thin as it may be — for convicting Trump, and prevents the president from claiming his party was united in eschewing impeachment.

“Corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one’s oath of office that I can imagine,” said Romney, speaking on the Senate floor before the vote.

Rep. Adam B. Schiff, DCalif., the lead House impeachment manager who presented the case to the Senate, said that Democrats will remain “vigilant” in their oversight of the president.

“There is a risk that he becomes even more unbounded,” Schiff said of Trump in an interview with the Los Angeles Times before the vote. “We succeeded in exposing his misconduct and stopping the plot, but his plotting continues and we’re going to have to be vigilant.”

During his closing arguments earlier this week, Schiff had asked aloud if there would be even one Republican senator to vote for conviction. After Romney’s announcement, Schiff tweeted Wednesday: “And there is.”

Romney acknowledged that he could face the wrath of the president, his party and some of his constituents. ‘”Does anyone seriously believe that I would consent to these consequences other than from an inescapable conviction that my oath before God demanded it of me?” he said. Later, he told Fox News it was the most difficult decision of his life

and predicted he would pay a political price. “It’s going to get very lonely,” he added, referring to the political backlash.

Democrats praised Romney’s decision. “Mitt Romney has restored my faith in this institution and my faith in the basic idea that political courage can exist in a polarized world,” said Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii.

The 12-day trial is the shortest in presidential impeachment history, and the only one that did not include subpoenas for witnesses or documents. Democrats say that exclusion delegitimized the process.

“If the president is acquitted with no witnesses, no documents, any acquittal will have no value because Americans will know that this trial was not a real trial,” said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y. “It’s a tragedy on a very large scale.”

Trump and the White House stonewalled the House impeachment inquiry, refusing to allow administration officials to testify or turn over documents except for a memo of a phone call between Trump and the president of Ukraine.

When the issue of subpoenas came to the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was able to keep enough of his Republicans together to oppose issuing them, arguing that the House — not the Senate — should have fought the court battle over whether Trump could block his aides from testifying.

Romney and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine were the only Republicans who voted to demand witnesses, along with all Democrats. But the motion was still two votes short of the tally required.

Trump’s Republican allies and his lawyers blasted

the process, accusing House Democrats of pursuing a partisan impeachment out of spite for the 2016 election.

“I have such strong feelings about how unfair everything is and why it’s all motivated from hate. They hate him,” said Sen. James M. Inhofe, R-Okla., said of House Democrats who pursued the impeachment inquiry.

Sixty-seven votes are required in the Senate to remove an impeached president from office — a bar Democrats knew they were unlikely to even brush up against. While two previous presidents have been impeached — President Andrew Johnson in 1868 and President Bill Clinton in 1998 — the Senate has never removed a president from office. President Richard Nixon resigned when it became clear he would be removed.

Like Johnson and Clinton, Trump’s legacy will now include impeachment — a descriptor that even his acquittal in the Senate will not erase. He made no mention of the impeachment during his State of the Union address Tuesday, adhering to a request made by Senate Republicans to focus instead on a new agenda in an election year.

Republicans on Wednesday suggested that they will move on to policy items in the remainder of 2020, such as a long-delayed effort to pursue a bipartisan infrastructure package or a highway funding bill, seemingly impossible tasks in the wake of the partisan impeachment trial.

Republican allies expect Trump to tout the Senate vote, but Democrats say history is on their side.

“I guess Andrew Johnson was a winner at the time,” said Sen. Christo-

pher S. Murphy, D-Conn., of the 17th president, who survived a Senate impeachment trial but whose legacy was tarred. “I’m not sure that the broad scope of history judges Andrew Johnson a winner in that fight.”

Senators on both sides of the aisle complained this week that they were being asked to make a decision based on an incomplete record. Republicans blamed the House for not fighting for the testimony and documents in court.

“Instead of using tools available to compel the administration to compel documents and witnesses, the House followed a self-

imposed and entirely political deadline for voting on the articles of impeachment before Christmas,” said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.

Democrats blamed the White House for refusing to comply with congressional attempts to subpoena administration officials and documents and the Senate for not calling witnesses.

“We robbed ourselves and the American people of a full record,” said Sen. Angus King, an independent from Maine who caucuses with Democrats.

IU Cinema to celebrate Black History Month

By Lizzie Kaboski lkaboski@iu.edu

The Black Film Center/ Archive will show its series “Love! I’m in Love! Classic Black Cinema of the 1970s” at the IU Cinema throughout February.

The series will feature films that celebrate black lives and black film stars learning how to live in happy and intimate relationships, according to the IU Cinema website.

Films will include “Claudine” at 7 p.m. Thursday, “A

Warm December” at 7 p.m.

Feb. 14 and “Aaron Loves Angela” at 7 p.m. Feb. 17.

Terri Francis, director of the Black Film Center/Archive, associate professor of media and cinema studies at IU and curator of the series, said the films in the series were inspired by the 2018 restoration of “Something Good — Negro Kiss,” an 1898 film of two black actors kissing and laughing together.

Francis said she was also inspired by the recent keynote speech from actress Viola Davis at IU.

“The human experience has a variety of faces, skin colors and ages,” Francis said. “This film was a rare depiction of black love.”

Francis said she chose films from the 1970s because they are still relevant to both older and younger audiences.

“As a professor, one of my tasks is to show complex representations of adult life and give students the opportunity to engage,” Francis said.

The series will feature two discussion events about the historical context of black

cinema by Philana Payton, a doctoral candidate at University of Southern California, and Allyson Field, associate professor in the Department of Cinema and Media Studies from the University of Chicago.

Field will speak about the rediscovery and restoration of “Something Good — Negro Kiss” at an additional event at 12:15 p.m. Feb. 21 in Franklin Hall 312. Field said that as a historian, it was moving to see how the film’s representation of love spoke to audiences.

“It is remarkable to see how films speak to each other across time,” Field said. “And how they speak to us, even though we are so far removed from that time.”

Prior to the screening of “Claudine,” Payton will speak about actress Diahann Carroll’s impact on the perception of black matriarchy in film. The film is about a single mother played by Carroll who raises her children by working as a domestic maid for rich white families.

“Diahann Carroll was the epitome of star power at the

‘Month of Chocolate’ events in Bloomington to benefit LIFEDesigns

MALLORY SMITH | IDS

A variety of records and CDs can be found at Landlocked Music at 115 S. Walnut St. Bloomington Music Expo is the city’s only public vinyl show, and it features craft beer, food, art, apparel, CDs, tapes and vinyls.

By Hannah Johnson hanjohn@iu.edu

The Bloomington Music Expo is coming Friday and Saturday to the Monroe Convention Center, bringing with it an extensive market of vinyl records and a lineup of live music acts.

The convention center will be split between a stage for live music and a merchandise area, where more than 50 vendors will be selling vinyls, CDs, art, apparel and sound equipment, said Mike McAfee, executive director of Visit Bloomington and organizer of the expo.

Food and drinks will also be available onsite. McAfee said that the event will be perfect for all music lovers, whether you’re just a casual fan of live music or a die-hard collector who plans on showing up early to search for a rare Rolling Stones record.

Doors of the convention center will be open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. following a kickoff performance by

musician Will Johnson at 5 p.m. Friday night at Lennie’s Brewpub.

At the heart of the event is a celebration of the local music scene, which McAfee described as being incredible for a city as small as Bloomington.

“Our music scene goes back to Hoagy Carmichael and Booker T. Jones,” McAfee said. “We have a long, rich history of music in this community, and people are just really proud of that and they love celebrating it, and that’s kind of what the expo is all about.”

This event is a combined effort between Visit Bloomington, Downtown Bloomington Inc., Landlocked Music, Orbit Room, Secretly Canadian, WFHB Community Radio and Bloomington Brewing Co., which will be serving a Vinyl Slap craft beer canned specially for the expo. This will be the second Bloomington Music Expo, and McAfee said turnout is expected to be at least the same as last year’s

expo, which amassed about 1,000 people.

The lineup of musicians includes live DJs, Shai Marie, Glitter Brains, Lara Lynn & The Kid, Magnolia Electric Co. and Will Johnson, who’s kicking off the expo with his performance at Lennie’s.

“It means a lot to be picked to do that,” Johnson said. “I’m always happy to play shows in Bloomington, it’s become sort of a second home over the past few years. Coming to play music there is a special thing.”

Johnson will also be performing with Magnolia Electric Co., the band of late musician Jason Molina. The performance will pay tribute to Molina, who McAfee said is a hero to local music fans for his artistry and his beginnings with Secretly Canadian, a Bloomingtonbased record label. Johnson released an album called “Molina and Johnson” with Molina in 2009, and is excited to honor the life and music of his friend at the expo.

“I just want to do the

songs justice,” Johnson said. “I’m just working hard to try to honor and deliver the songs as best as I possibly can with the band.

That’s going to be all I’m thinking about.”

Also part of the lineup is singer-songwriter Amy Oelsner, who is eight months pregnant and excited to play her last show before having her baby.

Some of the proceeds of the expo will be going towards Girls Rock Bloomington, of which she is the director.

“It’s a music camp for girls and trans and nonbinary youth, so I’m very excited about that and glad I can participate through playing my music,” Oelsner said.

Tickets, available online and at the door, are $5 for general admission and free for students with a valid student ID. All proceeds will go to the Shalom Community Center, Girls Rock Bloomington and WFHB Community Radio.

This year’s “Month of Chocolate” will feature events such as a Chocolate Prom, Cocoa Couture fashion show and Chocolate Bingo throughout February around Bloomington.

Since 1997, Bloomington has been home to an annual celebration of chocolate.

LIFEDesigns, a non-profit organization that offers programs and resources for people with disabilities in Southern Indiana, is organizing the event and partnering with an assortment of local businesses. A portion of the profits will go to LIFEDesigns.

“The events that support LIFEDesigns would then go back to us as unrestricted funds,” said Stephanie Shelton, director of development at the LIFEDesigns. “That’s good because that means we can use it where the need is greatest.

Here’s a list of the events: Feb. 7: “We Paint... the Sweet Life,” a free art exhibit consisting of chocolate-themed depictions.

Feb. 8: a rock n roll dance party with live music will take place at Mike’s Dance Barn in Nashville, Indiana.

Feb. 13: “For the Love of Chocolate” - Bell Trace Senior Living Center will organize a chocolate and wine-tasting event.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 security login, Duo, so it was only accessible to IU students. After accessing the GPA calculator, students could search other students’ usernames to see their grades. These usernames are public and are stored in a database that IU students can access.

“Knowing someone has access to that is unnerving. It’s my grades. It’s my information. What I choose to do with that is to my discretion – no one else’s."

Monisha Gowda, IU senior

Protecting the database through Duo does not change the situation or make it any less serious of a violation, Rooker said.

“You certainly can’t have a system in place that would let another student go in and see what your grades are,” he said. “Absolutely not.”

IU requires FERPA training for all employees and routinely cites FERPA when blocking the release of information. It has even refused to provide students copies of

their own records related to their Title IX hearings.

Privacy attorneys say IU could be vulnerable to disciplinary action for negligence, public disclosure of private information or not tracking disclosures of student records, but whether a claim holds up could depend on whether IU knew the grades were accessible and on how much harm was caused.

The calculator’s webpage stated that the search option was available to users of IU’s Student Information System, which spans all nine IU campuses.

The database also includes grades from Advance College Project courses students can take in high school for college credit.

The GPA calculator had been online at least since 2018.

Students can report FERPA violations to the Office of the Registrar on their respective campuses or by visiting IU’s website. They can also report violations to the Department of Education.

The IDS received permission from more than a dozen current and former IU students to search their GPAs in the calculator in order to determine the scope of the problem.

Grades appeared to be readily available for students going back to the Class of 2015.

“When you told me you

could look up my grades, I almost didn’t believe you,” IU senior Monisha Gowda said. “I can’t believe that something like this has been overlooked at such a large public school.”

Gowda said she never knowingly gave IU permission to publish her grades on a GPA calculator and is confused as to why a search function was included with the tool.

“Knowing someone has access to that is unnerving,” said Gowda, a pre-med student. “It’s my grades. It’s my information. What I choose to do with that is to my discretion – no one else’s.

“Imagining how people could use this to their advantage is just gross.”

No specific abuses of the calculator have been reported. But when the calculator was online, nothing prevented students from publishing each other’s grades on social media or comparing grades with students competing for the same job. The calculator could have been used to compare grades among students applying to medical school or law school. Grade information could be leaked to parents or other parties.

Faculty and staff could have accessed the calculator from their accounts.

Professors are not normally allowed to look up students’ grades in courses they

What is FERPA? The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act applies to public schools that receive federal funding.

It includes both paper and digital records. FERPA protects student records including disciplinary records, addresses, social security numbers, grades and test scores.

According to IU policy, FERPA “gives students rights to access their own education records and restricts the school’s disclosure of those records to others without the student’s permission, except in limited circumstances.”

“This is a clear FERPA violation,” said LeRoy Rooker, former director of the Department of Education’s Family Policy Compliance Office, about IU's GPA calculator. didn’t teach, but theoretically, they could have used the calculator to make judgments about their students or to decide whether to recommend them for internships. Sororities could have accessed the calculator to make decisions during recruitment.

This information can also be sensitive for people with political or business aspirations. While FERPA

already protects his grades, President Donald Trump famously pressured his former schools to keep his grades sealed, according to testimony by his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.

In 2016, basketball fans at the University of Kentucky chanted “GPA” at a Louisiana State University freshman player who failed to meet academic standards

for an award. It’s easy to imagine how public access to grade information could haunt student athletes and others in the spotlight.

IU senior Carley Berg expressed concerns over the other information IU collects.

“Are they equally careless with the rest of my information?” she said. “How are we supposed to trust them?”

ith arms full of freshly washed costumes, employees moved along the winding halls below the auditorium stage. Braided wigs were lined up along walls of exposed brick in preparation for the opening night of “Les Misérables.”

It took approximately 20 hours for the crew to unload all of the stage props and equipment. A crew of about 100 additional local employees began the process at 8 a.m. Monday when the touring team arrived in Bloomington.

“We’re like a little city that supports itself,” stage manager Jess Gouker said.

Backstage, coffee makers and microwaves were stored wherever space was available. A rack of mock firearms was tucked close to the scenery and a tank of liquid carbon dioxide, which would later be used to create smoke effects.

All members of the set-up crew

were fitted with bright yellow, green and orange safety helmets.

The lights from their headlamps bounced along the stage.

Equipment, props and personal items were transported via 11 semi-trucks. The show is performed by 38 actors with a 16-member orchestra and remaining crew. In total, the show travels with around 80 people.

“Most Broadway tours downsize when they tour, but this show stays the same,” production stage manager Jack McLeod said. “It’s rare for something this big to play at Bloomington.”

“Les Misérables” typically performs at least eight shows in one location, McLeod said. While this is uncommon for the IU Auditorium stage, there are typically few exceptions due to the large nature of the show that prides itself on its similarity to their Broadway performances.

“They can take what they’ve

On opening night, the curtain rose to reveal the wooden, crumbling buildings of 19th-century Paris. Billowing smoke crept across the stage from the canisters that had been transported in earlier that day.

IU gears up for second season under Mercer

By Sara Kress sekress@iu.edu | @sarakress4

It’s February, which means college baseball is just around the corner. With less than two weeks until the start of its season, IU head coach Jeff Mercer is focused on growth and player development as the foundation of his team.

IU has a difficult nonconference schedule, beginning with a three-game series Feb. 14- 16 against Louisiana State University.

Mercer said starting the season with a harder schedule places players in difficult environments, which helps them improve as a team. It also lets the coaching staff discover weaknesses early in the season.

“Playing a really tough nonconference schedule allows us to learn where we have to grow,” Mercer said Monday night. “Then we have to address those issues.”

The team won the regular season Big Ten championship last year.

“It’s a lot of fun to be able to come in and work with a group of guys who have had success and that have an expectation of winning,” Mercer said. “And then to be able

to build off of that is a great challenge.”

Mercer, who is entering his second season at IU, doesn’t want to put pressure on repeating the team’s success, however.

“When you put an expectation on production, you rarely ever get production,” Mercer said.

Instead, Mercer said he likes to focus on the work ethic and mentality of his team. He said if players build a culture of hard work and growth, the results will take care of themselves.

Mercer chooses the strategies his team uses based on the talents of the players. This year Mercer said they have better runners, and he hopes they can play in a more dynamic style that incorporates base-running techniques.

He highlighted senior catcher Collin Hopkins, junior outfielder Elijah Dunham and junior infielder Cole Barr as potential major offensive players for the team. He also said sophomore outfielder Grant Richardson had a good preseason.

Junior pitcher Tommy Sommer and sophomore pitcher Gabe Bierman are expected to play as starters.

Then-sophomore infielder Justin Walker talks to head coach Jeff Mercer during the 2019 season at Bart Kaufman Field. The team won the regular season Big Ten championship last year.

Mercer said they have been pitching well, along with sophomores Braydon Tucker, McCade Brown and Matt Litwicki.

Hopkins has been catching well, and Mercer said junior Drew Ashley will also likely catch.

Mercer said he coaches

every player as if they’re going to be a starter. He is focused on constant development and improvement from his players.

MEN’S GOLF

“Every team I’ve ever been on, as a player and as a coach, the starting nine was almost never the nine that finished,” Mercer said.

WOMEN’S GOLF

IU returns for Big Ten Match Play IU to begin spring season in Puerto Rico an Indiana winter. Mayer took his team to Florida last week to practice, something he believes could give them an advantage over teams like Penn State that don’t travel.

Mayer said a strong start to the spring season will provide the Hoosiers with momentum for the rest of the year.

Davis added that a strong showing could prove IU is competitive.

“The best way to set the tone is to come out with a W,” Davis said. “That would be huge to prove ourselves in that tournament — in the Big Ten Match Play. It would be a springboard for the rest of the season.”

If IU beats Penn State, it will advance to play Purdue in the second round.

“We’d love to play Purdue,” Mayer said. “We feel like you beat them once in the fall, we can take them.”

Mayer said the Big Ten is wide open, perhaps the most he has ever seen. If IU performs well down the stretch, Mayer said he thinks the team can compete for the Big Ten Championship in May.

The IU men’s golf team will return to action for the first time in nearly four months Friday in the Big Ten Match Play in Hammock Beach, Florida.

“It is the same season, but at the same time we’ve had some time off,” IU head coach Mike Mayer said. “It’s time to reevaluate things.”

The match play is set up like a tournament, with the top three seeds earning a bye. It’s a head-to-head matchup, and teams are seeded based on their national ranking.

IU is ranked 87th in the country, according to the Big Ten, and will likely play Penn State in the first round, but the official draw doesn’t come out until Wednesday.

The number one players on each team will face each other, and so on.

Each team has six total spots. The player who does better on each hole wins the hole, and the player who wins the most holes wins the matchup.

ing lineups, the spots for each team are chosen based on the player’s individual national ranking. Sophomore Mitch Davis will slot into the top spot.

Mayer said since match play is so much different than a normal tournament, it’s hard to compare how IU stands against Penn State.

He said he believes that the Nittany Lions’ top three fair better than the Hoosiers’, but that his team holds the advantage in the bottom three.

“I think we’re a little deeper than most,” Mayer said. “We have more depth, and we’re seeing that depth develop.”

Davis was not as subtle in his evaluation of the team.

“I might be a little biased, but I think we’re the best team there,” Davis said.

“We just haven’t shown it yet.”

Mayer said he doesn’t expect any sort of curve trying to catch up to playing outside after dealing with

The IU women’s golf team is competing Sunday in its seventh tournament of the year. But unlike the first six that took place in the fall, this tournament will be played outside the continental United States.

The Hoosiers will take part in the Lady Puerto Rico Classic in Rio Mar, Puerto Rico. The tournament, organized by Purdue, will consist of three rounds with the opening round on Sunday and the final round on Tuesday.

It’s been three-and-ahalf months since IU took the course in competitive play. The last time out for the Hoosiers was the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, North Carolina, where junior Priscilla Schmid finished atop the leaderboard at seven under par for her first collegiate victory.

That tournament capped off an up-and-down fall season for the Hoosiers. They performed well at competitions such as the Branch Law Firm in September but struggled in others including a 10th-place finish out of 15 teams at the Illini Women’s Invitational on Oct. 7-8.

Despite the inconsistent fall season, IU head coach Clint Wallman said he has seen the consistency improve, especially from Schmid, and potential for the team.

“It was a tough, competitive field,” Wallman said of the Landfall Tradition. “But a tournament like this shows that we can compete with the Big Ten and nationally as well.”

They’ll be put to the test early — as the Lady Puerto Rico Classic is historically competitive. Last February, it showcased nine ranked teams out of the 14-team field.

DNC made a mistake changing debate requirements

Trump’s IsraeliPalestinian peace plan is basically apartheid Liam O’Sullivan, he/him is a senior in film.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Democratic candidate for president Mike Bloomberg visits Tampa, Florida, for a campaign rally on Jan. 26.

Allyson McBride, she/her is a sophomore in English and political science. She is the director of outreach and diversity for College Democrats at IU.

The Democratic National Committee announced Jan. 31 that candidates will not need a set number of donations to qualify for the upcoming Nevada debate. The rule change came less than a month before the next debate, scheduled for Feb. 19 in Las Vegas.

The DNC refused to reduce the debate requirements for the January debate when asked by Sen. Cory Booker, who had the support of the rest of the presidential field. However, the DNC’s newly changed requirements give former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg a shot at being on the debate stage.

The new debate requirements may not have been put into place with the intention of excluding candidates of color and including a billionaire, but that’s exactly what happened. It looks incredibly bad for the DNC to change the debate rules now when the rules weren’t changed to ensure a diverse stage.

DNC Chairman Tom Perez told the New York Times the debate qualification process relies on polls and donations to be as transparent and objective as possible.

To qualify for the Nevada debate, a candidate needs to earn 10 percent in four qualifying national polls or 12 percent in two polls taken in Nevada or South Carolina by a qualifying pollster, or the candidate could earn a single delegate from either Iowa or New Hampshire.

The previous requirement of meeting a minimum donor threshold has been dropped. The DNC argued that the delegates from the caucus and primary will be better measures of grassroots support, so a donor requirement is no longer necessary.

That seems fair, but the problem is, none of the systems that contribute to these metrics are fair. Money shouldn’t affect politics, but it does. The grassroots donor requirement put strain on many campaigns early on in the race. These campaigns did not have the financial support to wait it out until debate requirements were changed and eventually they dropped out of the race.

Booker sent a letter to Perez in December asking him to lower the thresholds for the January and February debates. Presidential candidates Sen. Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Tom Steyer, former Housing secretary Ju-

lián Castro and Andrew Yang all signed the letter, according to the New York Times.

The requirements for the January debate did not change, and Booker, Castro and Yang were excluded from the all-white debate stage.

Booker and Castro have both since suspended their campaigns. When many of the candidates being prematurely pushed out of the race are people of color, the DNC should be concerned about the fairness of the process.

Narrowing the debate stage earlier in the process will push out smaller campaigns, while campaigns with more financial resources remain unaffected.

Bloomberg has run an entirely self-funded campaign.

Because of his refusal to accept donations, he has not qualified for a single debate.

The removal of the donor threshold gives him the opportunity to qualify for the Nevada debate. He still needs to either win delegates or meet the polling requirements, which only Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Vice President Joe Biden have doneas of Jan. 31, according to the New York Times.

While other candidates need the national platform that a debate provides as a way to connect with voters, billionaires like Bloomberg can buy their outreach. He

has spent millions of dollars on ads, including at least $10 million on a single minutelong television ad that aired yesterday during the Super Bowl, according to Politico.

There is one benefit of letting Bloomberg join the debates. During an ad, Bloomberg can’t be grilled about his record as a Republican mayor, like he could be on the debate stage. Debating wouldn’t even be in Bloomberg’s best interests because it would give the moderators and other candidates an opportunity to properly vet him.

Even if debating would hurt him, if Bloomberg is ultimately able to qualify, this decision has been met with negative reactions, with several presidential candidates rightly denouncing the decision for Bloomberg to be included. Andrew Yang called the new rules “tailor-made” for Bloomberg.

The DNC might not be rigging the election for Bloomberg, but they should be conscious of who is affected by their debate requirements and how the timing of rule changes can disproportionately hurt certain campaigns.

Billionaires have enough advantages.

The DNC shouldn’t give Bloomberg one more. allymcbr@iu.edu

JAC’S FACTS

Google’s Black History Month advertising is hypocritical Jaclyn Ferguson, she/her is a junior in journalism and African American studies.

Companies have been known to release advertisements during Black History Month that reflect on the experiences of black people in America.

Many companies praise diversity outwardly but do not seem to value it as much internally.

Black History Month serves as a way to remind us about the important history of people in the African Diaspora. It is a time when the triumphs of black people can be celebrated, and their tribulations can be reflected upon.

Google released a Black History Month advertisement Jan. 25 that has more than 25 million views on YouTube as of Tuesday.

The ad celebrates “#MostSearched” moments and individuals in America from January 2004 to July 2009.

Categories include the most searched performance (Beyoncé), most searched female poet (Maya Angelou) and most searched athlete (Lebron James). Each person is black in these #MostSearched categories.

The ad is powerful. I had chills up and down my body as I watched video complied of black icons dancing, playing tennis and simply existing in spaces not made for them.

Scrolling through Twitter, I saw the ad everywhere.

Just about every other Instagram story was a post of this thought-provoking advertisement.

However, there is some-

The Trump administration’s Israel-Palestine peace plan fell apart after the Palestinian National Authority roundly rejected it last week. This shouldn’t be surprising: It’s easy to compare the plan to the system of apartheid in South Africa that was officially dismantled in 1994.

The proposed plan would have officially demilitarized Palestine, finalized each state’s control of the territory and affirmed Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, with a portion of East Jerusalem remaining under Palestinian jurisdiction.

Apartheid was a political system in South Africa that explicitly divided its population into black and white communities with the white South African minority having the majority of political power, effectively treating black South Africans like foreigners within the country’s borders.

Trump’s plan evokes apartheid by setting a structure that would disenfranchise a group of people occupying a close geographic area primarily on the basis of ethnicity. In both cases, an ethnic minority with backing from the U.S. is able to systematically oppress people native to a region.

In defending the deal despite its evident failure, White House senior adviser Jared Kushner told CNN that Palestine is not ready for peace.

“If they don’t think that they can uphold these standards, then I don’t think we can get Israel to take the risk to recognize them as a state,” Kushner said in the CNN interview.

One difference from apartheid is that the 5 million Palestinian refugees have ambiguous legal status, while black South Africans during apartheid were citizens.

The plan would introduce a rigid legal structure that would show apartheid as the goal. Palestine would be turned into a barely contiguous series of demilitarized territories with limited access to Israel’s borders with Egypt and Jordan.

It also looks a lot like apartheid-era South Africa’s map of its Bantustans, also called “black states.”

The Bantustans were 10 small enclave states within greater South Africa where the government forcibly relocated its black population. The South African government disenfranchised black citizens while claiming they were helping them find independence.

However, the Bantustans still needed to rely on South Africa for defense and economic reasons.

Another good point of comparison would be

the U.S.’s system of Native American reservations, under which indigenous peoples were given relatively small pockets of land and nominal autonomy. This seems like a good compromise, but Native Americans weren’t uniformly awarded citizenship until 1924, after dissolving Native American tribes as legal entities.

These reservations also lack distinct representation in the U.S. Congress, though the Cherokee Nation has made efforts to change that.

The one thing this Palestine Peace Plan’s proposed map technically has going for it is that roads and tunnels owned by Palestine would have connected the disparate areas claimed by the Palestinian National Authority, including the Gaza Strip and large parts of the West Bank. Again, that sounds like a good compromise until it’s made clear that these regions are so disconnected due to the U.S.’s shifting position on settlements.

Under international law, Israeli settlements are illegal, but the Trump administration decided in November last year that they are not, and this hypothetical map would legitimize those illegal settlements. Many member states of the United Nations vehemently oppose this.

It’s also worth noting that the Israel-Palestine region has a history of violence, making any attempt at a peace deal complicated for all parties involved.

This whole deal seemed less like an earnest attempt to push for change in the region than it is a declaration of intent. If the intention was for the Palestinian National Authority to actually ratify this accord, then efforts would have been made to give the Palestinian people a coherent, contiguous map of territories.

Giving refugees the right to return to their homes might have helped as well.

Instead, they received clarification that apartheid was always the Trump administration’s end goal.

President of the Palestinian National Authority Mahmoud Abbas has rejected every plan Trump has sent his way, which is fair. Trump needed to prove he was approaching the situation in good faith, and the plan as laid out clearly did not convince the Palestinian government.

“I will not have it recorded in my history that I sold Jerusalem,” Abbas told the Arab League on Saturday.

This proposed plan was damning. If peace is the goal, the U.S. and Israel need to consider the implications of this deal more carefully. The best place to start might be drafting the next plan with a Palestinian at the table. liamosul@indiana.edu

The Google headquarters sits Jan. 24, 2016, in Mountain View, California.

thing backward and unsettling about a corporation highlighting success in diversity but not focusing on diversity themselves. According to Google’s 2019 diversity annual report, only 4.8% of Google’s hires were black. This is compared to 43.9% Asian and 48.5% white.

The report showed black women were 2.2% of all Google hires, and black leadership was at 3.6%.

Google’s ad highlighted the groundbreaking things black people, including black women, have done in this world.

That should serve as a reminder that black people could do great things for the company, if given the opportunity.

Google is not the only major company to release diversity-based advertise-

ments but lack a diverse workforce.

Adidas released an advertisement in 2016 that included a diverse and inclusive atmosphere titled “Your Future is not Mine.”

It depicts people of different races and ethnicities marching into a room and coming together.

A 2019 report from the New York Times found 4.5% of employees at Adidas’ Portland campus were black, compared to nearly 78% being white. Employees of color at the headquarters told the Times they have experienced discrimination and seen white leadership struggle.

If only people of color were not simply cast to march in a commercial and make profits for a company but march into leadership roles and reap the profits

themselves.

What if black people could march into an environment where they feel seen, heard and cared about?

While it is important that companies bring diversity and inclusion to light, displaying diversity at such a surface level and not digging into company values is harmful.

Creating an advertisement that highlighs diversity can give a company a certain look of being politically and socially aware.

But that look is deceiving.

It is deceiving in the sense of making a company look like they genuinely care about people. Maybe they do, but workforce numbers do not highlight that. jaraferg@iu.edu

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN

The 49ers’ Performance showed why you can’t forget the veggie tray Bradley Hohulin is a freshman in sports media.

Buffalo wings that glow like little orange embers. Dips with more layers than an Agatha Christie novel. When millions of eyes aren’t plastered to a screen on Super Bowl Sunday, they are drastically overestimating just how much can be crammed into their owners’ stomachs.

The night of Feb. 2 was the biggest stage not only for football, but for all the world’s messiest hors d’oeuvres. Yet the San Francisco 49ers demonstrated that no matter how enticing the salty, spicy smorgasbord, a Super Bowl party’s true strength lies in the oftoverlooked veggie tray.

Sure, a platter of crudités is never the centerpiece of the game day festivities. Raw cauliflower and ranch dressing cannot hope to contend with pulled pork sliders.

A similar logic applies to football, where skill players with eye-popping stats receive far more attention than the blockers who make those numbers possible.

Audiences spent the better part of the 2019-20 NFL season fawning over flashy names like quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Jimmy Garoppolo. And frankly, who could blame them?

Mahomes seems to redefine the sport each time he takes a snap, and Garoppolo is finally proving why he was drafted by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick as the heir apparent to the irreplaceable Tom Brady.

However, it was quickly

evident that the story of Super Bowl LIV was to be written with the tape-bound hands of the linemen. After one quarter, Mahomes and Garoppolo had combined for a paltry 69 yards through the air.

Garoppolo’s wideouts were blanketed like cocktail sausages in crescent rolls, forcing him to rely on previously unsung heroes. The 49ers’ first touchdown came courtesy of fullback Kyle

Juszczyk, a man with more z’s in his last name than scores in the regular season.

In the case of the Chiefs, it was not until the fourth quarter that Mahomes found the end zone with his arm, a one-yard toss to tight end Travis Kelce.

trol. Mahomes was too busy trying to outrun defensive end Nick Bosa to focus downfield, causing errant underthrows and a pair of wince-inducing interceptions.

Then, with just over eight minutes of play remaining, it was as if the oven dinged to signify that the onion rings within had just achieved perfectly golden, flaky exteriors.

20. Garoppolo and company were suddenly on the inside of the pressure cooker.

Here San Francisco made its fatal mistake. Despite its success with the run and mid-range passing, head coach Kyle Shanahan’s troop instead sought chunk plays and home run balls. A tremendous weight was placed upon the San Francisco offensive line.

culinary equation. Whether it is due to runny salsa or melted cheese with insufficient stretch, even the tastiest nachos risk utter ruin when the tortilla chips are not up to the task. No amount of flavor or flare can compensate for a faulty foundation.

It was in these waning moments that the 49ers needed its big men the most. Instead, Garoppolo was mercilessly harassed by a swarm of red.

On two consecutive plays, his passes were swatted at the line of scrimmage by Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones.

Garoppolo never had time to work any magic, and things got sloppy. The nachos crumbled, and Shanahan was left thinking wistfully of the relish plate left saran-wrapped in the refrigerator.

After all, no matter how dense the spinach and artichoke concoction into which it is dipped, a hearty celery stalk will remain sturdy. When San Francisco removed that reliable greenery from its menu, it cost it dearly.

Mahomes was rightfully named the Most Valuable Player once his heroics ultimately sealed victory for the Chiefs. But there never would have been room on the table for a comeback if the 49ers had not forgotten the one truth that has endured throughout the Super Bowl’s 54-year history.

When the chips are down, be they ruffled or kettlecooked, you simply can’t afford to forget the veggie tray.

Hunter is starting to look comfortable with IU Scrappy play earns IU the Barn Burner trophy

By Matt Cohen

By Sam Bodnar

mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

sbodnar@iu.edu | @sgbod13

Even after a loss, redshirt freshman forward Jerome Hunter put somewhat of a smile on his teammate’s face.

He was back in his home state of Ohio — the Schottenstein Center at Ohio State is about 20 miles from Hunter’s high school, Pickerington North.

Hunter had just finished another strong performance off the bench, doing it in front of his family and friends..

In the postgame media scrum, he was asked about his improved shooting this season. And that made sophomore guard Rob Phinisee crack a small grin for his teammate.

“I like shooting the ball a lot,” Hunter said following the Hoosiers 68-59 loss to his hometown Buckeyes. “Shooting the ball, I feel like, is my bread and butter. I’m going to keep shooting it, hope it keeps going in.”

Hunter missed his freshman season with a lower leg injury. He looked from the sideline as last year’s team crashed out of the projected NCAA tournament field.

Through the first half of his first full season, Hunter’s shots weren’t falling and he was barely playing.

Entering this season, Miller looked at Hunter as a true freshman. In the opening games of the season against the weakest competition, Hunter showed flashes of the ability his high school highlight reel showed. But it was inconsistent. As the competition picked up, Hunter started to become a more integral role player off the bench.

But as the calendar turns to February, everything is starting to go right.

In the midst of the middling offensive displays and late collapses during IU’s three-game losing streak, it has seen more consistent flashes of Hunter’s potential.

Hunter is looking comfort-

Forwards and guards dove for loose balls and contended for positioning below the basket in a 66-54 victory for No. 18 IU women’s basketball on Monday. Its second-chance opportunities and shot blocking on defense led to a third straight victory over Purdue.

IU outrebounded Purdue 38-28 in West Lafayette, Indiana. Its players secured offensive rebounds, which led to extra points, and defensive rebounds prevented Purdue from getting second-chance points.

Early on, it was junior guard Ali Patberg who plowed through defenders and scored around the basket. The junior locked in on the ball as it bounced off the rim and navigated through three Boilermakers to catch the rebound and score.

Patberg finished the night with seven rebounds, tied for the second-highest tally on the floor.

Later in the first, it was senior forward Brenna Wise who boxed out Purdue’s senior forward Ae’Rianna Harris for an offensive rebound. IU was then able to take more time off the clock and set up its offense.

Wise came in from the baseline and perimeter in her various routes on offense. When the ball left her teammate’s hands, she snuck around Harris and other Boilermakers to tip the ball back to her guards or go back up with a shot.

The senior also kept Purdue from getting additional looks on 3-point shot attempts. Wise used her arms to locate her defender and her lower body to keep them away from the basket.

Combined with Patberg, Wise helped IU keep Purdue scoreless on second-chance opportunities. Purdue finished with just five on the entire night. The Hoosiers had 12 second-chance points which,

able with IU for the first time.

He’s played at least 19 minutes in four of his last six games. In Hunter’s last two games, against Maryland and at Ohio State, he played the most minutes of his career with 27 and 28, respectively.

Against Maryland on Jan. 26 in Bloomington, Hunter tied his career high with 12 points, including three crucial 3-pointers. His shots fueled what was one of the Hoosiers’ best offensive performances of the season.

“He’s starting to look the part,” IU head coach Archie

he’s playing more and more, which is a big thing for our team,” Miller said after the Jan. 26 loss to Maryland.

“He’s added value in a lot of ways. He’s doing a better job defensively. He ends up getting double figures here tonight but made three big shots, but that’s what he can do. He can add some offensive firepower.”

When Hunter’s shot is falling, IU’s offense suddenly has some extent of a 3-point shooting game. After losing to Ohio State, IU was ranked 327th nationally in 3-pointers

Miller said after IU’s loss to Maryland. “His legs look stronger. I think, if you just watch him right now, he has a much better bounce about him on the floor than he’s had. It’s taken him a while to get to this point.”

Hunter didn’t play against Penn State, and the team’s dropoff in offensive production was notable. Against Ohio State on Saturday, Hunter was a lone positive when the offense struggled again. He scored nine points, including two 3-pointers.

“Now he’s playing, and

made.

But Hunter is 7-13 from three in his last four games, and that includes a performance against Michigan State where Hunter did not attempt a shot from behind the arc.

He was just 4-28 in the 16 prior games played. As a forward, Hunter has stretched the floor and provided an offensive element that has been noticeably lacking throughout Miller’s tenure in Bloomington.

“Each game I’m just trying to get better and each game I’m just starting to get

more and more comfortable,” Hunter said after the loss to Ohio State. “I think that’s the biggest part is just playing games, getting the reps I need to be out there on the court to help us win games.”

Hunter is already a player whom Miller has praised for his reliable defense, who has the size to guard inside as well as the wingspan and athleticism to play on the perimeter.

That has come over the course of the season as Hunter has seen his minutes increase.

Now the offense is beginning to follow suit.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Hardly a Barn Burner as No. 18 IU defeats Purdue

By Will Trubshaw wtrubsha@iu.edu | @Willtrubs

No. 18 IU women’s basketball got off to the strong start it lacked in its recent games, leading the way to a 66-54 win over rival Purdue for the Barn Burner Trophy.

With the win, IU swept its season series with Purdue and won the trophy for the fourth consecutive season.

One of the main factors in IU’s strong start was the fact the team grabbed an early lead and used unrelenting defense to keep it that way.

Leading 16-10 at the end of the first quarter was a nice change for an IU team that had to battle back from early deficits in its last two games.

The lead seemed to loosen the Hoosiers up offensively as they pushed their lead to 13 at halftime thanks to an eightpoint quarter from sophomore guard Grace Berger.

“First half was really good,” IU head coach Teri Moren said after the game. “I thought

that was about as good as we’ve looked defensively in a while.”

Berger finished the evening with 15 points, and her shooting outburst in the second quarter looked like the one she had against Minnesota.

But unlike that game, the Hoosiers didn’t need to rely solely on Berger for offense against the Boilermakers.

Sophomore forward Aleksa Gulbe chipped in eight points, senior forward Brenna Wise had seven points and seven rebounds while hounding the offensive glass and junior guard Jaelynn Penn poured in 15 more points.

Junior guard Ali Patberg had perhaps the best night of all with 17 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Her flirtation with a triple double was key for the Hoosiers offensively, but she did her part on defense too.

She collected two of IU’s seven total blocks, and keyed an IU defense that held Pur-

due to seven field goals in the first half.

The Hoosiers’ 13-point halftime lead shrunk quickly with the Hoosiers offense and defense faltering. Not only did the Hoosiers allow the Boilermakers more makes in the third quarter than in all of the first half, the Hoosiers turned the ball over eight times.

Purdue seniors Ae’Rianna Harris and Dominique Oden combined for 14 of the team’s 21 points in the third quarter as the IU lead was trimmed to six.

“We knew they were going to make a run,” Moren said. “Oden and Harris are just too good. It was obvious the two of them were going to try to get (Purdue) back in the game, and they did.”

IU adjusted nicely and allowed only three turnovers in the fourth quarter while holding the Boilermakers to 12 points.

It was still a close game with 5:51 remaining, but Berger’s and-one basket sealed the

along with blocked shots, helped them during their third-quarter scoring drought.

Despite knocking down its first six shots in the third, IU missed its closing seven, allowing Purdue to cut the lead from 12 to six. IU needed its defense to step up, and its guards came through.

IU junior guard Jaelynn Penn blocked consecutive shots to keep Purdue’s guards from bringing the game within two possessions.

First it was Boilermaker guard Dominique Oden — the game’s leading scorer — who fell victim to a Penn swat. Oden

led the night in scoring but found an open layup ripped from her hands on the other side of a media timeout.

On the next Boilermaker possession, Harris cut to the basket for a contested layup.

Penn came from behind and tipped the ball away to preserve the Hoosiers’ 10-point lead.

Minutes later, it was Patberg who earned her second block.

After Purdue brought the game within single digits, Oden tore across the floor and drove down the left side of the paint.

Patberg came from the opposite side and stopped Oden

from cutting the lead to six.

As its shooters began connecting in the fourth, IU’s forwards continued making plays below the rim to keep plays alive. Wise saved the ball from going out of bounds, leading to a Purdue foul.

On the next play sophomore forward Aleksa Gulbe boxed out Harris, got the ball off the rim and hit a layup.

The basket pushed IU’s lead to nine, and the momentum shifted.

The Hoosiers went on a 7-3 run, and it was enough to hold off their conference rival and secure the Barn Burner trophy.

After No. 18 IU women’s basketball scored the first points of the game Monday, it never trailed at Mackey Arena, beating Purdue 66-54.

While the deficit for Purdue was manageable after the first quarter, IU jumped out to a 13-point halftime lead, its largest of the game at that point.

IU led by as many as 15 before Purdue got back within single digits.

But the Hoosiers never faltered, closing it out in the fourth quarter to secure its third straight double-digit win over the Boilermakers.

The win marks four in a row for a Hoosier team that started the year off scorching hot before fizzling a bit in January.

IU won four straight games — including a win over Purdue — before losing three in a row. Now, the team is on another four-game win streak.

IU has also won three straight over its rival, and the games haven’t seemed too competitive. In fact, IU has dominated the last few matchups.

Going back to the 201617 season, IU has won seven of eight games against its instate rival. All but one of those wins have been by double digits, and even that game was an eight-point affair.

The lone win for Purdue was a 59-56 decision in Mackey Arena last season. Since then, the Hoosiers have won three straight, winning by an average of 17 points.

The skill gap between these two teams seems to be getting bigger, and it’s heavily favoring IU. On paper, IU looks like the better team.

IU has five players averaging double-figures. Purdue has three. IU has a player on the Wooden Award watch list.

Purdue does not.

IU also looks better on the

court. IU averages 9.2 more points per game than Purdue, and gives up 3.4 less points per game. Purdue has no ranked wins while IU has two, and one of those ranked wins was over the current No. 1 team in the country. country.

IU beat the University of South Carolina by 14 in late November. Two later, weeks Purdue lost to that same team by 36.

That’s a sizable advantage to IU, especially when you consider South Carolina only has that one loss on its record this year. year.

IU has been inconsistent at times this year, but its overall body of work is one of the

best in the Big Ten. This Hoosier team has the talent to make a run in the Big Ten Tournament, and maybe even the NCAA Tournament.

West Lafayette has itself a good basketball team. But for f the last few years, the series seri has been in the hands of IU. IU Head coach Te Teri Moren is building buildi a winning culture cultu in Bloomington, already with two tournatourn ment trips and a Wom Women’s National Invitation Invitati Tournament ChampionChampio ship under her belt.

If nothing changes, IU will continue to dominate domina this series for a long tim time.
