THE LAST CHAPTER Largest class in IU-Bloomington history graduated Saturday By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu | @grace_palmieri

Students from 88 countries, all 50 states and 87 of Indiana’s 92 counties moved their tassels from the right to left side of their graduation caps. “Lux et veritas,” light and truth, was the backdrop as IU President Michael McRobbie imparted last-minute advice to the rows of seniors sitting in front of him. He talked about the importance of this first generation of the digital age — and joked about it too. “You’ve never known a life without mobile handheld devices, like the ones many of you are using at this very mo-

ment,” he said. “Hail to Old IU” rang out through Memorial Stadium as parents and friends in attendance sang along. Come and join in song together, Shout with might and main; Our beloved Alma Mater, Sound her praise again. Caps, decorated with inspirational quotes and glitter, were flung into the air, and the largest graduating class in the history of the IU-Bloomington campus officially became alumni of IU on Saturday morning. The oldest graduate was 64 years old, while the youngest was 18. An honorary degree was presented

to Curtis R. Simic, who served as president of the IU Foundation for 20 years. Throughout that time, Simic increased annual giving from $70 million and 60,000 donors to more than $270 million and nearly 120,000 donors. This year’s commencement speaker Jamie Hyneman, most known for Discovery Channel’s most popular program “Mythbusters,” encouraged the graduating seniors to make mistakes. Failing isn’t a bad thing, Hyneman said. “If you fail, you ask why and then you adapt,” he said. “You don’t want to seek SEE GRADUATION, PAGE 3

After several new treatment changes were enforced following speculation of unsafe levels of disinfection byproducts in the Bloomington water supply, the city has announced cleaner drinking water. The City of Bloomington stated in a release May 5 disinfection byproduct levels have lowered significantly since changes were implemented and the city’s drinking water is safer to drink. In January, Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton said the water in town was safe to drink — technically. B&B Water Project Inc., which is a customer of the City of Bloomington Utilities department, recorded higher than average amounts of disinfection byproducts last year, which pushed a limit set by environmental regulatory agencies at state and federal levels, according to a Jan. 15 press release from the IU Bloomington Newsroom. DBPs are the result of disinfectants like chlorine interacting with microorganisms in the water, according to the Jan. 15 release. Rising levels can’t be ignored, either — exposure to DBPs, in particular haloacetic acids and trihalomethanes have short-term effects of illness for the elderly, pregnant women and infants, and longterm effects as serious as higher risks of cancer. These insecurities about Bloomington’s water quality come at the same time as the nationally recognized Flint, Michigan, water crisis, which has led to dangerously high levels of lead in children’s blood systems and discolored, unsafe water for its residents. Hamilton was quoted in the Jan. 15 release as saying distribution of safe drinking water in Bloomington is mandatory to him. “I don’t want our system to be close to the limit,” he said. “We want more cushion.” SEE WATER, PAGE 3

IU wins series vs. Minnesota to move into 1st in Big Ten From IDS reports

When IU arrived in Minnesota for a three-game series, it was a half game out of first in the Big Ten. After Sunday’s 3-2 win against the Golden Gophers, the Hoosiers now lead the Big Ten by a half game. IU (28-17) beat Minnesota (3015) on Sunday behind strong pitching, particularly from senior starting pitcher Evan Bell. The right-hander went 5.2 innings while allowing two runs on eight hits and striking out four batters. Bell’s first win of the season was secured by a combination of freshman relief pitcher BJ Sabol and junior relief pitcher Jake Kelzer. Sabol pitched 1.2 scoreless in-

nings out of the bullpen and struck out four of the five batters he faced. Kelzer picked up his third save of the season after pitching 1.2 scoreless innings and striking out two batters himself. IU won the first game Friday night 12-8 to move into first place before losing to Minnesota 8-6 on Saturday afternoon to fall back into second. Twice Sunday the Hoosiers responded after the Golden Gophers scored. After responding to an early deficit to score two runs to take a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth, Minnesota promptly tied the game in the bottom half. The tie didn’t last long, with SEE BASEBALL, PAGE 3

Students to travel to Italy for Florence Summer Program By Kordi Schild kordischild@gmail.com

Alexis Goldsmith, a fourth-year English and dietetics double major at IU, is one of a small group of students headed to Florence, Italy, this weekend. The Florence Summer Program is an IU-affiliated, six-week study abroad course that began and will run through June 17. The program allows students to choose two of three possible courses, which gives

them a total of six college credits upon their completion of the program. These courses include a multilevel drawing class, where participants and instructors spend the day out in the city drawing, painting and collaging what they see. Secondly, the program offers a 200-level Florentine Renaissance Art History class. Students learn while standing in centuries-old cathedrals or while in front of works by masters

like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Lastly, a multi-level Italian language course is available to those interested in immersing themselves deeper into Italian culture. While in Florence, students stay at the Hotel Villani. The hotel was built in 1986 and is comprised of several shared bedrooms on one floor of a large apartment building. The building is just steps away from the Duomo and many famous museums in the heart of Florence.

The program, though centered around art and language, is open to all IU students. Goldsmith, for example, has no knowledge of Italian and only practices art recreationally. She said there is a limited selection of programs offered through the English and dietetics departments. “I was questioning why I would want to spend $10,000 to go to SEE ART, PAGE 3

Indy Mini celebrates its 40th year From IDS reports

The Indy 500 Festival Mini-Marathon attracted thousands of runners Saturday morning in downtown Indianapolis. In its 40th year, the mini-marathon is one of the largest in the country. The race, which had more than 30,000 registrants, took place around Military Park and included a lap around

Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 2.5-mile track. Macdonard Ondara won the men’s race in 1:02.02, while Ogla Kimaiyo finished in first for the women with a time of 1:11.42. The race has been sold out in each of the past several years. It takes runners through some of Indy’s most scenic areas, beginning on the east side of the White River and

If you want to be successful, “just do good work.” “It is OK to be in the background,” Hyneman said. “Trust that your passion is good work. You define who you are, not other people.” IU graduate Grace Boya Shen took the stage next. A double major in history and American studies, Shen moved to Bloomington four years ago from Beijing, China. When she first arrived, she knew very little English. “If you simply asked me ‘How are you?’ I would look at you weirdly and walk away,” Shen said to laughs from the crowd. Not only can she now answer that question, Shen stood on stage and told her story to thousands of people. Her experience working at Starbucks in the Union helped her adjust

to American life and learn to balance school with extracurriculars. “I could never understand why the five-cent coin was bigger than the 10-cent coin,” Shen said. She participated in the history department’s Inside-Out Program, for which students commute from campus to take a class at the Heritage Trail Correctional Facility in Plainfield, Indiana, alongside incarcerated students. The program allowed her to understand others who were trying to fit into this world just like her, and everyone else, Shen said. Shen has been recognized with first place in the Asian American Studies 2014-15 Student Essay Competition and the history department’s BrowderLewis Summer Internship Prize. She also earned the IU Provost’s Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Research in the Humanities. Four years ago, she came to a foreign country with a small dream to see a different world, Shen said. And IU didn’t disappoint. “IU didn’t let me down,” she said. “IU has taught me to be responsible and caring and turn my small dream into a bigger dream, a dream we all share — to

So I heard about the Florence art program, and I’ve always loved art. Art is like literature in that they are both forms of expression.

Water is considered hard at around 51.3 ppm. After April 4, DBP levels have decreased, HAA5 levels are between 28 and 34 ug/l and TTHM levels are between 28.6 and 34.0 ug/l, a drastic change from the March report of 52-60 ug/l for HAA5s and 46.3-53.5 ug/l for TTHMs, according to the May 5 release from the City of Bloomington. As decided in January because of concerns about water quality, the City of Bloomington Utilities Department has increased its testing from quarterly to monthly.

The department will continue to research and seek further short-term and longterm options to decrease DBP levels in Bloomington’s water, according to the release. “While it is too early to know that the changes made at the treatment facility and in the delivery system will continue to produce encouraging test results, we remain committed to providing our customers with safe drinking water and water quality updates,” Hamilton said in the May 5 release .

Hoosiers win final regular season series By Jake Thomer jjthomer@imail.iu.edu | @jake_the_thomer

In its final games of the regular season, IU picked up a second consecutive series win and took two out of three games on the road against Maryland (11-41, 4-19) . A rainout Friday forced the teams to play a doubleheader Saturday, which the Hoosiers (28-24, 10-13) dominated from beginning to end. “Once we got the first win in, starting the second game felt like we were just going into the eighth inning of the same game,” senior outfielder Michelle Huber said. “So we just kept rolling.” In the opener, freshman pitcher Tara Trainer started in the circle and IU jumped ahead with three runs in the first inning. The Hoosiers stretched their lead to 5-0 in the fourth inning before Trainer found herself in a jam and was replaced by fellow freshman pitcher Josie Wood. After allowing the inherited runner to score, Wood settled in to finish the last four innings and allowed two more runs the rest of the way, but it was not enough for Maryland as IU tacked on three more runs of its own and came away with an 8-3 win. Sophomore infielder Taylor Uden led the way with a pair of two-run hits, as she went 2-for-3 with four RBIs. The Hoosiers collected 11 hits in the game, and eight different Hoosiers got a hit. The second game saw more of the same from IU, and Uden in particular, as the Arizona native registered three more RBIs in the first inning to get the Hoosiers out to an early lead. Trainer started again, and was re-

lieved by sophomore pitcher Emily Kirk after allowing a run in the third inning. IU would score three runs in the third inning and four more in the fourth. By the fifth inning, the Hoosiers were ahead by enough to end the game in a mercy-rule win. Kirk shut down the Terrapins in the fifth, and the Hoosiers finished off a 12-1 win. A pair of three-run home runs from Huber provided half the scoring for the Hoosiers. “The first definitely felt better, but it was great to get the second one too,” Huber said. “She had two strikes on me so I was just looking to put the ball in play, and it went my way.” In the finale, IU battled back from a six-run deficit to tie the game before allowing a grand slam in the fifth inning. In the top of the seventh, Huber added another solo shot, her third of the weekend and sixth of the year. Senior catcher Kelsey Dotson also came around to score in the inning, but the rally fell short and the Hoosiers lost 10-8. Uden went 5-for-9 with 9 RBIs in the series, and Huber batted 4-for-7 with 7 RBIs. The Hoosiers will begin Big Ten Tournament play Thursday in State College, Pennsylvania. As the No. 9 seed, IU will open against Wisconsin (28-23-1, 11-11-1), who the Hoosiers have not yet played this season. Though they lost their final game, Huber said she was still confident the Hoosiers could continue their strong play in the conference tournament. “It was definitely nice to get the first two wins in, obviously we wanted the third win but we just came up a little short,” Huber said. “I definitely believe we still have good momentum though.” WENSI WANG | IDS

IU finds success across board in last home meet of season From IDS reports

IU competed in its final home meet of the season and its final meet of the regular season Friday. The Hoosiers played host to the Billy Hayes Invitational at the Robert C. Haugh Track and Field Complex. Some Hoosiers that were already in position to qualify for regionals didn’t compete, but some of the athletes that did compete Friday saw positive results. Senior sprinter Cornelius Strickland won the men’s 100-meter dash in a season-best 10.42 seconds, which moved him into 35th on the NCAA Division I East qualifying list. Junior jumper Ari Nelson won the women’s long jump with a season-best 6.10 meter jump, which moved her up to 39th on the qualifying list.

Freshman thrower Willie Morrison won the men’s shot put with a season-best 19.17 meter throw. That moved him up to sixth on the qualifying list, and it’s the second highest mark in school history. Senior thrower Laura Schroeder won the women’s hammer throw. Her teammate, junior Nakel McClinton, didn’t compete Friday. Schroeder is still in sixth on the qualifying list, and McClinton sits in third. Junior sprinter/jumper Sydney Anderson finished third in the women’s 400-meter dash and had a season-best time of 56.71 seconds. Senior distance runner Owen Skeete won the fast section of the men’s 1,500-meter run with a season-best 3:45.29 time. He is just five spots outside of qualifying range in 53rd on the list.

IU won all four relays — the men’s and women’s 4x100-meter relays, and the men’s and women’s 4x400-meter relays. The men’s 4x100-meter relay team, the women’s 4x400 relay team and the men’s 4x400 relay team all set season-bests in their victories. Senior pole vaulters Sophie Gutermuth and Sydney Clute finished first and second, respectively, in the women’s pole vault. The Hoosiers have 29 people, including injured senior multiathlete Dylan Anderson, that would qualify for regionals in one or more events by finishing in the top 48 on the qualifying list. Next weekend, IU will travel to Lincoln, Nebraska, to compete in the Big Ten Championships. Seth Tow

IU saw its 2015-16 season come to a close Saturday following a final round score of 306 in the NCAA Central Regional. The final round score left the Hoosiers at 45-over-par for the tournament. The Hoosiers were the 14th of 18 seeds in the three-round tournament at the Traditions Club Golf Course in Bryan, Texas. The Hoosiers finished in 15th place after a 909 total three-round score. During Thursday’s first round, IU shot 305, which was followed by a 298 in round two and then a 306 in round three. The Hoosiers needed to finish in the top six to advance as a team or have an individual finish as one of the topthree individuals not on a team to move on to the NCAA Championships in two weeks, but that was not the case for IU. “I think there is a lot to take away,” IU Coach Clint Wallman said. “The girls are very competitive and they definitely can be a player at the national level. We have a great base to start building for next year. I’m really excited and they can compete.” Senior Camille Chevalier finished her IU career by tying for 42nd with a 224 overall score (+8). She had the lowest score on the team for IU. Junior Ana Sanjuan and Chevalier were the top performers for the Hoosiers. Chevalier’s performance stood out Wallman said. “There are not enough words to describe her, she was just amazing,” Wallman said. “She really stepped forward on the golf course obviously, but even in practice and every thing she did. She set the example and, between her and Ana,

they really elevated everyone’s effort and that was a big part in the run we made in the spring.” As for the rest of the team, Sanjuan tied for 50th with a score of 225 (+9), junior Theresa-Ann Jedra finished tied for 67th at 14-overpar, freshman Erin Harper tied for 76th at 19-over-par and sophmore Alix Kong placed 91st at 31-overpar for the tournament. Of the five Hoosiers that competed, three were underclassmen and Wallman said they needed to just settle in, and that is what they did in round two. However, IU dug themselves too deep of a hole after the first round to really make a run at the top six. “Three of our five players are underclassmen, so it was their first time there,” Wallman said. “I don’t think there were nerves per se, but I think they were so intent on doing well that they probably got revved up.” Following the final round, Jedra said she was already looking forward to what next year would bring. “I think for next year it taught us returners that we can compete at that level,” Jedra said. “When we go back to school, we have to start off really well and work as hard as we did at the end of this year because not being on that cut line will make a big difference and give us a big boost in confidence.” Now moving forward, the “what’s my target” motto Wallman has preached to his players all season will carry into next season where the Hoosiers hope to build off of their success. “If we take it into next year that’s definitely a big thing and no matter how much we don’t want to say coach is right, he is,” Jedra said. “I think the ‘what’s my target’ is a good motto for our team.”

Student painter finds new passion in ceramics course By Kordi Schidle kordischidl@gmail.com

Fine arts students are encouraged to seek specializations within their major, which leads students to apply for one of nine BFA programs. Won-Hee Parkby is an international student from South Korea who just finished her third semester in the BFA painting program. Despite having an emphasis in painting, Won has become increasingly involved in the ceramics department. She said ceramics satisfies her in a way painting can’t. When working on canvas, Parkby said she considers herself to be more of an abstract artist. However, she found she can create more representational pieces when working in clay, like her series of figurative human busts she paints and carves as a means of abstraction. The series was inspired by a project in her 300-level ceramics course where she recreated one of the cloud-covered heads in Salvador Dali’s 1947 painting, “Three Sphinxes of Bikini.” Constructing this head presented many challenges that motivated Parkby to try to perfect her process. She looked to other figurative ceramicists for help like Ah Xian, a Chinese ceramicist making porcelain busts with decorative Chinese designs.

Christyl Boger, an IU ceramics professor, was also a technical asset. Parkby said Boger helped guide her through various problems she would encounter when building her busts. Although she is working with clay in the ceramics studio, Parkby said she tries to keep painting in mind. “Painting helps me develop a sense of surface and color that I can apply in ceramics,” she said. She said she also likes the physical activity required for working in ceramics. Parkby is now able to physically construct the lights and shade that she has previously painted. Physically experiencing her work in this way gives her a kind of pleasure she doesn’t get with painting, she said. Yet, Parkby said she applies new discoveries made in the ceramics studio to her paintings. “Ceramics construction work and working with a 3-D object helps me get a sense of real space, shading and light relationships,” she said. In the future Parkby plans to attend graduate school and could see herself eventually teaching art at a university. However, she said her growing love for ceramics is now causing her to question if she ultimately wants to be a painter or a change course for a ceramics career.

IU ensemble to tour Germany From IDS reports

IU’s African American Choral Ensemble is touring Germany this summer to perform at an international festival of sacred music, according to a May 6 press release from the IU Bloomington Newsroom. The group, whose goal is to “preserve the legacy of African American choral music through transformative interpretations of this unique American art form,” according to IU’s African American Arts Institute website, performs music from across the genre spectrum. The ensemble performs songs ranging from folk and spiritual works to contemporary gospel music. This will be the ensem-

ble’s first European tour. Twenty-seven students will be joining ensemble director Raymond Wise and Charles E. Sykes, executive director of the African American Arts Institute, on the tour of the western European country, including not only their performances but also cultural exchanges and visits to historic sites, according to the release. Wise will lead a separate choir at the Musica Sacra International 2016 festival called the “Voices for Peace” ensemble. A first-time event for the choir, Wise will bring together singers from different groups into a newly assembled choir. More than 150 musicians from across five different religious traditions and our continents will be present at

the festival, according to the release. “Not only will the educational and cultural exchange enhance their growth as a choir and as individuals,” Wise said in the release, “But more importantly, the students will get to witness the impact of AfricanAmerican music around the world and play a part in its global expansion.” The group will be performing in several public concerts in May, including at St. Paulus Church in Hamburg-Heimfeld on May 9, the American Church of Berlin on May 11, St. Thomas Church in Leipzig on May 13, St. Mang Abbey in Fussen on May 14, and the Kurhaus concert hall in Bad Hindelang on May 15. Members of the ensemble will also visit his-

toric sites and perform and sing with both German school children and musicians from the Bavarian Music Academy, as well as meet with IU alumni in the region. The ensemble has been celebrating its 40th anniversary this past year. “I am overjoyed that our students will have the opportunity to represent IU and share their musical talents with multiple and diverse audiences in Germany,” Sykes said in the release. “For some students, this will be their first trip to Germany; for others, this will be their first trip outside of the U.S. But for all of our students, this will be an incredible learning experience.” Anicka Slachta

International conference to wraps 2 years of research From IDS reports

Cultural ecologist and philosopher David Abram will be the keynote presenter at the international “Wonder and the Natural World” conference this June. Abram is a notable storyteller and a sleight-of-hand magician, according to an IU press release. He has traded magic with indigenous sorcerers in Indonesia, Nepal and the Americas. Abram is also the author of “Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology” and “The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-Than-Human World.” He has been published in several journals

including Orion, Parabola, Environmental Ethics and Tikkun, according to the release. The conference will be put on by the Consortium for the Study of Religion, Ethics and Society at IU and has been examining the theme and also title of the conference for two years. “The conference is a fitting culmination of the consortium’s two-year theme and its mission to foster interdisciplinary work on timely issues at the intersection of religion, ethics and society,” said Lisa Sideris, director of the consortium and associate professor of religious studies at IU, in the release. The consortium launched in 2013 and has

received two rounds of research grants, according to the release. Last May, faculty presented their works-inprogress. The conference includes many other speakers as well. These include Whitney Bauman, professor from Florida International University; Brendon Larson, scholar who studies how people adapt to ecological changes; Mary-Jane Rubenstein, professor and chair of religion at Wesleyan University; Scott Russell Sanders, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English at IU and famous Hoosier author; and Bronislaw Szerszynski, who researches how people interact with the environment, among others.

The conference will take place from June 20-23 in the Indiana Memorial Union. The event is open to the public and tickets are available on the IU conferences website. Until May 14, tickets are $120 and will increase to $150 after. Student rates are available for a limited time at $25. Cancellations can be made up to June 1 with a $25 cancellation fee. No refunds will be given after June 1 passes. “At a time when nature is headline news — often in ways that seem unprecedented or alarming — wonder remains vital because it is a uniquely complex response, drawing on cognitive, sensory, emotional, spiritual, ethical and aes-

EDITORIAL BOARD

Prince’s pain pills WE SAY: The dangers of opiate painkillers are too often ignored Prince, the revolutionary musical icon, died last month at the age of 57 and drugs might have been involved despite Prince’s long-standing reputation for being clean. Unlike the majority of rock stars who are renowned for their heavy drug use, Prince generally abstained from substance. He would spurn alcohol and marijuana and prevent his tour-mates from indulging as well. This did not prevent him from developing a dependence on painkillers in his final years. Prince was known to suffer from chronic pain by close friends. His hips would cause him excruciating pain during performances, but he firmly believed the show must go on and he pressed through for his fans. “The idea of (Prince) medicating himself to perform isn’t strange to me,” said Prince’s former tour manager Alan Leeds in an interview with the New York Times. It appears that Prince kept a tight lid on his pain pill use and never discussed it with anyone. Prescription painkillers are derived from chemicals in opium and can be just as addictive as their illegal relatives such as heroin.

Opiate painkillers, illicit or pharmaceutical, all function by activating opioid receptors in the brain and therefore have the same side-effects. One opiate drug, oxycodone, is sometimes referred to as “hillbilly heroin” and the rise in hospitalizations due to overdoses of it have received media attention in America and the United Kingdom. A rapid formation of dependence and addiction is one of the side-effects of the drug, but Prince may have been dependent on medication due to his chronic pain condition. Chronic pain can be a debilitating condition that causes sufferers to be unable to function in daily life, and strong painkillers might be the only relief. Unfortunately, Prince’s use of painkillers might have crossed into abuse when he became unresponsive on his private jet in mid-April and was forced to make an emergency stop in Illinois. He was rushed to a hospital and given a dose of Narcan, which is used to treat heroin and painkiller overdoses. Some people close to him grew concerned and a friend of Prince’s, whose identity is unknown, called Dr. Howard Klonfeld, who

specializes in painkiller addiction. Dr. Klonfeld’s son traveled to meet Prince at his suburban home near Minneapolis in hopes of discussing a treatment plan but arrived too late. According to the New York Times, he was among the people who found Prince lifeless in an elevator and called 911. Emergency responders found prescription painkillers on Prince’s body when he died, but so far his records do not show any valid prescriptions for painkillers. Now, the Drug Enforcement Agency has been called in to investigate who has been getting Prince these painkillers. A special branch of the DEA is set-up to investigate cases of prescription drug abuse. Though Prince might have been getting the drugs from a close friend, it’s also possible that a complicit doctor or pharmacist had been providing Prince with under-the-table pills. Like many musicians before him, Prince seems to have struggled with an affliction that cost him his life. With better understanding of chronic pain and the addictions that treatments can lead to, hopefully others can avoid the same fate.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

WEEKLY WISDOM

Clinton needs a balanced ticket more than ever

Western ideals in practice in London

Then incendiary real-estate-tycoon-turned-presidential-candidate brought out the big artillery Saturday when he labeled Sen. Elizabeth Warren D-Mass goofy on Twitter in response to pointed criticism of his campaign. Trump started yet another twitter controversy when he tweeted that he hoped Clinton chose “Goofy” Elizabeth Warren as her running mate because he was confident in his ability to triumph over them, in response to her pointed criticism of his campaign. Trump thinks he can beat a Clinton/Warren ticket, but I’m not so sure. The real story wasn’t Trump’s trademark Twitter invective but rather the senator’s response. Warren responded with a series of tweets that were harshly critical of Trump’s petty tactics which rely on “racism, sexism & xenophobia.” In a presidential election

characterized by an angry electorate and overwhelming support for anti-establishment candidates on both sides of the aisle, Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, would be well-suited to add Warren to her ticket. Warren, a staunch critic of Wall Street, is a former Harvard Law professor who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2012. A populist in the same vein as Bernie Sanders, she has supported minimum wage increases and student loan reform and served as chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel from 2008 to 2010. Leading up to the current election cycle, many liberals had Warren pegged as a potential presidential candidate before she quelled speculation by saying she had no plans to run. Deep divisions exist among both liberals and con-

servatives. As Sanders’ unprecedented success in primaries has suggested, Democratic voters are wary to throw their support behind Clinton whose close ties to Wall Street help make her, along with Trump, “more strongly disliked than any nominee at this point in the past 10 presidential cycles,” according to statistical analysis by FiveThirtyEight. Choosing a progressive like Warren as her running mate would balance the ticket and help capture some of the disenchanted voters who have rallied behind Sanders. A Warren vice presidency would not erase Clinton’s past indiscretion and involvement in various scandals, but it would go a long way toward uniting a deeply fractured electorate. Clinton’s past might be shady, but Trump, the only real alternative at this point,

is a wild card. Sure, his offensive tactics might be no more than a calculated act intended to drum up the support of the working class. But is it not equally as likely he is truly the loose cannon he appears to be? With Clinton, we know what we’re getting, and by adding Warren to her ticket, it makes the thought of another Clinton administration more palpable to disaffected liberals who might feel uncomfortable supporting her at the moment. Winning these voters back starts with choosing a running mate capable of appealing to this new wave of liberals, and Warren is the woman for the job. dkilcull@indiana.edu @daniel_kilc

Jordan River Forum LETER TO THE EDITOR The war on drugs is something we have all grown up hearing over and over. It was implemented in June 1971 by President Nixon. This included dramatically increasing the size and presence of federal drug control agencies and pushing through measures such as mandatory sentencing. The presidency of Ronald Reagan marked the beginning of a long period of ever increasing incarceration rates due to the expansion of the drug war. The number of people incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses increased from 50,000 in 1980 to 400,000 by 1997.

Increased incarceration wasn’t the only effect the war on drugs had. The harsh drug policies blocked expansion of syringe access programs and other harm reduction policies aimed to reduce the spread of HIV and AIDS. More recently, President Obama has yet to shift drug control funding to a healthbased approach. However, he is advocating for reforms such as reducing the crack/powder sentencing disparity, ending the ban on federal funding for syringe access programs and supporting state medical marijuana laws. A shift away from the war on drugs approach will take

time, but it is slowly starting to take place. Mandatory minimum sentencing laws require prison terms of a particular length for people convicted of certain federal and state crimes. They are inflexible and prevent judges from using their discretion. Judges understand that every case is different and have an understanding of each case that is brought to them. They should be able to determine appropriate sentences based on the facts of the crime. Mandatory sentencing leads to negative effects such as overcrowding, costs to taxpayers and diversion of funds

from law enforcement. A shift in the way we treat drug offenses needs to take place in our country. Rehabilitative approaches such as substance abuse treatment, drug court supervision, probation and community correctional programs are all options based on the individual’s particular situation. The war on drugs has proven to be ineffective and outdated. It is time for us to take a rehabilitative and health based approach rather than excessively punitive measures that have no proof of truly addressing the problem. Shannon Gunn

If you want to send American media into a frenzy, nothing does it quite as well as breaking precedent. Every time a person of racial, religious, ethnic or some other type of minority becomes the first of their kind to fill some position, be it political, corporate or otherwise, our media goes into a tailspin. Despite all this hubub, the election of a Muslim to head a Western capital is a testament to the strength of our values rather than weakness. The usual suspects amongst the left parade out the same tired metaphors every time. They extol how this newest accomplishment is breaking barriers or smashing a ceiling. Predictably, conservative media engage in the usual hand wringing about whether or not western society will survive this latest test of integration. Media of both ideologies inflicted this upon their readership with London’s recent election results, where for the first time in modern history a major Western capital elected a Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan. Breitbart and Drudge, representing the right, chose to run articles with headlines like “LondonisKhan,” and statements like Khan being “the first mayor of Londonistan,” all which fret about the implications of this election for the good people of England and Europe. Left-leaning media could not resist the urge to pat themselves and Londoners on the back for proving London’s diversity and tolerance. Reading the coverage, my mind goes to the hypothetical debate between a libertarian and a communist occasionally heard in philosophical circles, which is meant to showcase the benefits of a non-coercive social order. The example is the libertarian makes the point to the communist that communists would be free to exist and practice their ideology in a libertarian society, but that the inverse would never be tolerated.

ZACH CHAMBERS is a freshman in management.

Libertarians could not live as they wish within a society built around Marx’s words. Western society seems willing to accommodate and accept Muslims into the greater body politic. Western institutions have evolved to protect minorities and groups without power whereas Sharia law attempts to enforce homogeneity of thought and action. The election of Sadiq Khan is just the latest example of this. The right to practice one’s religion and follow one’s conscience have been key tenets of Western thought for centuries. Anti-discrimination laws protect minorities from the racist whims of employers and businesses in the market. Hate crime laws attempt to eliminate violence motivated by protected statuses whenever it might occur. Even the token outrage from the right is emblematic of the strength of these values, as free expression is critical to freedom of conscience. It would be hard to argue that the inverse is true in this situation. Much like a libertarian in a communist world, it appears it would be much more difficult to follow one’s individual beliefs as a European in countries where thought is codified by Sharia law. Accommodation is given to the sons of other nations in the Western world that would never be given in their home countries. The sort of society this creates is indeed a large part of the draw for generations of immigrants that have landed on European and American shores. The election of Khan is more indication of the strength of these very values. Khan is able to make something of himself in England, and everyone is better for it. zaochamb@indiana.edu
