NCAA champion to join IU Officials confirm student death From IDS reports
IU officials have confirmed that sophomore Danielle Nicole Lynn died Tuesday, Aug. 26. Lynn, 19, was found in her offcampus apartment, IU Spokesperson Mark Land said. A cause and manner of death have yet to be disclosed, and calls to the Monroe County Coroner’s office were not immediately returned Tuesday evening. A native of Franklin, Ind., Lynn graduated from Franklin Community High School with honors in 2012, according to her obituary published in the Daily Journal. Lynn is survived by her parents, Rebecca L. Mitchell and Robert W. Lynn, her sister Heather Wright, brother Christopher Lynn and stepbrother Justin Lynn, according to the obituary. Her funeral service was Tuesday at Jessen Funeral Home, Whiteland Chapel. COURTESY PHOTO

Former Texas diver Michael Hixon joins IU diving team By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu | @grace_palmieri
Michael Hixon has wanted to train with IU Coach Drew Johansen since he was 14 years old. At the time, Hixon had already been diving in national competitions for two years and went on to become a three-time Junior National Champion. Meanwhile, Johansen was building his Duke program into a national diving powerhouse. The Blue Devils won 15 ACC individual titles under Johansen’s direction, and he coached Olympic diver Nick McCrory to three NCAA titles. His collegiate coaching success earned Johansen the opportunity to coach the United
States team at the 2012 London Olympic Games. He coached the U.S. diving team to four medals, the most for U.S. diving since the 1988 Olympics. Last year, Johansen left Duke to become the coach of a storied IU diving program. Hixon was a recent high school graduate and began his freshman year at the University of Texas. “Texas was a great place, and I loved it there,” Hixon said. “It wasn’t the right fit for me, and some of the goals I wanted to accomplish I sort of felt like I couldn’t accomplish them there.” There was only one place and one coach that Hixon thought would allow him to reach those
goals. So, after one year as a Longhorn, the diver made the decision to transfer to IU and to finally train with whom he considers the best coach in the world. “I always knew I wanted to dive for Drew, and at a school like IU, we have all the resources,” Hixon said. “There’s just no place better.” A native of Amherst, Mass., Hixon began diving when he was seven years old. His mom was his coach, and he quickly became one of the top junior divers in the country, Johansen said. “His family is well known in the diving community, so we’ve all watched him grow up,” he
said. As Hixon neared his initial college decision, Johansen recruited him hard to come to Duke. Hixon said that just wasn’t the right fit at the time, opting to go to Texas instead. Hixon proved himself the best diver in the country last year, becoming a two-time NCAA Champion by winning the 1-meter and 3-meter crowns. He was named NCAA Diver of the Year. In his first year of college, Hixon was also making a name for himself on the international stage both individually and in synchronized competition. SEE DIVER, PAGE 6
Prospective immigration order could change lives By Emily Ernsberger
ESTIMATES OF UNAUTHORIZED IMMIGRANTS IN INDIANA, 1990 - 2010
emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyernsberger
President Obama is set to announce a new executive order to provide many of the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in America a better path to citizenship without fear of deportation. This executive order is projected to define the president’s immigration policy legacy. “It continues to be my belief that if I can’t see congressional action, that I need to do at least what I can in order to make the system work better,” Obama said in his press briefing last week. Press Secretary Josh Earnest said at a press conference at the White House on Friday that the timing of the executive order is dependent on recommendations from Attorney General Eric Holder. According to most recent research done by Pew Research’s Hispanic Trends project in 2011, an estimated 110,000 undocumented immigrants are living in Indiana. The executive overhaul is a contentious issue among candidates for congressional seats in the upcoming midterm election Nov. 4. Nationally, Obama has caught heat from both parties for bypassing Congress on immigration. “I believe that any executive action by any presidents with 90 days to go before the election is probably a political draw,” said 9th Congressional District candidate Bill Bailey. “The opposition sees it to rally those opposed to the president and his party, while
Rates of unauthorized immigrants in Indiana have risen from 10,000 in 1990 to 110,000 two decades later, following a steady rate of increase. 120,000
Venue cancels event after ISIS video By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP
This week’s hootenanny at the Venue Fine Art and Gifts was canceled Tuesday in light of the execution of an American journalist by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The White House, as of Tuesday evening, had yet to officially confirm the authenticity of a video showing the apparent decapitation of Steven Sotloff, 31. Sotloff, who was abducted in Syria in August 2013, according to the New York Times, is the second American journalist beheaded by ISIS. The Committee to Protect Journalists has described Syria as the most dangerous country in the world for journalists for at least two years now. “Journalists know that covering

the members of the president’s party use it to their advantage as best they can.” Rep. Todd Young, D-9th District, has not made any recent comments on the subject of immigration. Young most recently voted in favor of appropriating funds to the Homeland Security, Justice and Defense departments for stronger law enforcement practices at the southern United States border and more immigration judges. The bill and recent executive
planning can be partially attributed to the more than 57,000 unaccompanied children coming from Central American nations this summer. Of those children, 245 were sent to foster care homes in Indiana. Bailey said the answer to immigration does not necessarily lie within what Obama is attempting to do but rather with stronger border security and job opportunities in Mexico. “If one simply focuses on securing the border, then the me-
chanics of that are pretty simple,” Bailey said. “It’s technology and manpower, but that cost goes on year after year after year. So running parallel to that effort has to be creating, helping to create economic opportunity south of the border that reduces the pressure to come into the United States illegally.” Obama said in his press conference that the influx of children has been on a downward trend the past few months.
IU women’s basketball recruiting suffered its first major setback in the wake of Curt Miller’s July resignation with former 2015 IU recruit Jenna Allen committing to Michigan State. Allen, a 6-foot-3 forward from Bedford, Ind., verbally committed to the Spartans during the weekend, according to a tweet from her Nike Elite Girls Youth Basketball League team. The high school senior-to-be originally committed to the Hoosiers while Miller was serving tenure. Newly hired IU Coach Teri Moren was unable to retain Allen. Allen averaged 14.9 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game to lead Bedford North Lawrence to its second consecutive Class 4A state title as a junior last season. SEE SPARTANS, PAGE 6

Students and participants browse the Student Involvement Fair campus event Sept. 2, 2013, in Dunn Meadow.
New groups featured in fair By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu @_lindsaymoore
Puppies, performances, playlists and more will be happening today in Dunn Meadow. The Student Involvement Fair is having its largest event with 350 student groups, said Colleen Rose, senior assistant director for Student Life and Learning. Last year, the involvement fair had fewer than 300 student organizations represented. The increase this year is a result of the addition of new student groups on campus. IU is now home to approximately 800 student-run organizations, Rose said. “I’m hoping it’s because more students are learning about the opportunities available through student organization and the student leadership opportunities,” Rose said. New groups on campus include women empowerment club, Smart Girls Group and political activists Students for Hillary. In addition to student organizations, the fair will include 50 local volunteer agencies, such as Middle Way House and the Bloomington center for domestic violence and sexual assault victims. The Bloomington Community Orchard, which donates fruit to local organizations, and New Leaf New Life, a program for recently released paroled residents, will also be in attendance, Rose said.

Thirty-two IU departments, such as the IU Cinema, the Asian Cultural Center and IU Outdoor Adventures will also be present at the fair. “Whenever I’ve worked with student leaders, I’ve heard them say that their journey with involvement really did start at the Student Involvement Fair,” Rose said. “A lot of students find their niche at IU at the Student Involvement Fair.” Not only will there be informational booths set up for the organizations present, but student performances will take place in addition to WIUX DJ-ing. Other student booths will be handing out more than
just pamphlets, as adoptable pets will be present from the Humane Society. This diverse event is expected to draw in 6,000 to 8,000 students, Rose said. With such a large group comes a lot of trash. The Student Life and Learning center has joined with the Office of Sustainability and IU Grounds to start an outdoor recycling initiative. The Office of Sustainability ordered half recycling and half trash stations for Dunn Meadow, said Miriam Zakem, Office of Sustainability summer intern and No Waste Program coordinator.

Media speaker series announced By Anna Hyzy akhyzy@indiana.edu | @annakhyzy
The first-ever Media School Speaker Series was announced Tuesday and will begin 7 p.m. Sept. 23 at the Whittenberger Auditorium. The speaker series was previously offered by the IU School of Journalism, which now, like the speaker series, has become part of the Media School, according to the University. The School of Journalism merged with the departments of telecommunications and communication and culture to form the media school that launched July 1. “We made a deliberate decision to make sure that, starting this fall, this would be the Media School Speaker Series,” said Anne Kibbler, director of communications and media relations for IU Journalism in the Media School. Kibbler said there was an effort to appeal to a wider base within the Media School in choosing the speakers. The first speaker in the series will be journalist and filmmaker Jose Antonio Vargas, according to the University. Vargas is the writer and director of the film “Documented,” which chronicles his life as an immigrant from the Philippines. The filmmaker was part
of a Pulitzer Prize-winning group of journalists at the Washington Post who covered the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings. Vargas has also written for other publications, including the New York Times Magazine in 2011 about his undocumented status. “I think there are a lot of cases where people we’re inviting are actually crossing over and using multiple platforms,” Kibbler said. Vargas is also founder of the nonprofit media organization Define American, which uses storytelling to start conversations about immigration in the United States, according to the organization’s website. “Documented” will be shown at 5 p.m. in the Whittenberger Auditorium prior to Vargas’ lecture, according to the University. Kibbler said the IU Journalism Speaker Series was successful in the past, and she hopes to see that success continue in the Media School Speaker Series. She added that the series often had a good response from the general public, and the change will provide a broader base of speakers from which to choose. “Whereas in the past with journalism, we would try and look at broadcast and newspapers and magazines and the range of journalism platforms, now it will be be-
yond that,” Kibbler said. The second speaker in the series will be investigative journalist Kathrine Boo, who is currently on staff at the New Yorker, according to the announcement. Kibbler said she heard good things about Boo from multiple sources and that when she reached out to Boo’s agent, she found she was not the first at IU to reach out to Boo. Boo’s lecture is co-sponsored by the College Arts and Humanities Institute and the Kelley School of Business Common Read Program, according to the University. Boo is a Pulitzer Prize winner for public service, a recipient of the 2012 MacArthur “genius” award and a winner of a National Magazine Award. Her recent book, “Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity” was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2013 and received a National Book Award for Nonfiction. The third speaker, Carolyn Jones, is a faculty member, Kibbler said. Jones is a documentary filmmaker best known for her film “The American Nurse,” which was inspired by her battle with breast cancer and profiles five nurses working under tough circumstances. Kibbler said she is hopeful that Jones’ lecture will also draw students from
the School of Public Health, as well as medical professionals from the Bloom- Jose ington com- Antonio Vargas munity. Kibbler said she has high hopes for the series, especially given Vargas’ recent national visibility. In July, Antonio Vargas was arrested by immigration authorities as he tried to fly out of McAllen, Texas, a border town, after telling officials he was in the country illegally, according to CNN. He was questioned and released the same day. “I’m really excited,” she said. “I think Jose Antonio Vargas is going to be really interesting. I’d already talked to his agent, and then a week later he was arrested.” Kibbler said the arrest has brought Vargas widespread attention for his stance on immigration and made him a national figure. Kibbler added that while the base of speakers will be broader, she does not foresee any particular area of the Media School being favored over another in terms of the guests it attracts. “I’m thrilled,” she said. “I think it’ll be easier, and it’ll be really exciting because now we can just think bigger and have more diversity within the speakers.”
Kelley announces freshman class of Fry Scholars From IDS reports
A new class of William R. Fry Scholars was announced Tuesday by the Kelley School of Business. Fourteen students will make up the freshman class of Fry scholars, a program that aims to help students succeed in school both with financial and educational support, according to a Sept. 2 University press release. William Fry was a 1958 graduate of IU. During his time at IU, he was senior class president, president of his fraternity Sigma Chi and a ROTC member. “We are very excited to welcome our sixth class of
Fry Scholars,” said Idalene Kesner, dean of the business school. “Every smart, driven student should have the chance to go to college, and this scholarship helps to achieve that dream.” Fry Scholars are chosen from business school direct admits. Promising freshmen are invited to apply based on their academic records, according to the release. This year’s scholars come from Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Maryland, Tennessee and one international contingent from International School Basel in Switzerland. Kathrine Schulze
$3.25 million given to Maurer School of Law by two major donors From IDS reports
The IU Maurer School of Law received $3.25 million last month, which it will use to establish scholarships and an endowed clinical professorship. The funding came in two donations, one to establish the Glenn and Donna Scolnik Clinical Chair and one to fund scholarships for Indiana high school graduates, according to a University press release. Glenn Scolnik, a Maurer School of Law alumnus, and his wife, Donna, gave $2 million to establish the chair in their name, which will be held by the director of the Conservation Law Center, according to the University. The donation will create the first endowed chair for a clinical law professor in the University’s history. The Conservation Law Center is currently directed by professor W. William Weeks.
The center provides legal counsel to conservation organizations without charge and, by doing so, offers law students real experience in conservation law, according to the University. The second donation of $1.25 million was made by Kathleen Harrold to establish the Bernard Harrold Endowed Scholarship in her late husband’s name, according to the University. The scholarship will provide full tuition to a third-year law student, according to the University. Candidates must be Indiana residents in the top 25 percent of their class who demonstrate a financial need. “We are honored and delighted by these generous gifts,” said Austen L. Parrish, dean of the law school and the James H. Rudy Professor of Law, in the release. Anna Hyzy

The United States Department of Education announced Thursday that Indiana would receive an extension on its No Child Left Behind waiver, two months after the date it wished to renew the policy. The waiver gives Indiana flexibility in meeting certain federal requirements, replacing them with state requirements. Indiana submitted an application to renew at the end of June, but the matter wasn’t easily settled this summer. The USDOE warned Indiana in early May that it might lose waiver privileges. The deal Indiana originally requested in 2012 was granted with the understanding the state would adhere to Common Core academic standards, said Jill Shedd, assistant dean for teacher education at the IU School of Education. When Indiana pulled out of Common Core this March, it no longer fulfilled certain portions of the waiver regard-
ing evaluations of student progress and the effectiveness of teachers and schools. The ISTEP tests, which factor into those evaluations, had to be changed to fit the state’s new standards. “Any test and any accountability process that was in the original waiver application was moved because the original academic standards in our state changed,” Shedd said. The original waiver allowed Indiana to choose how to assess its students, but those assessment methods had to be approved by the USDOE to be covered in the deal. That meant an ISTEP overhaul and a new waiver request detailing how the state would meet its new academic standards. “It was all quite related,” Shedd said. “If they hadn’t approved the test, we wouldn’t have anything.” In addition to teacher and school evaluations, losing the waiver would have meant a loss of federal funding, Shedd said. Shedd said she was not sure exactly how much
“Any test and any accountability process that was in the original waiver application was moved, because the original academic standards in our state changed.” Jill Shedd, IU School of Education assistant dean
federal funding made up the budgets of local schools. The USDOE website shows Title I legislation, meant to help lowincome students, is covered under No Child Left Behind funding. The federal government provides money for literacy programs and dropout prevention. Shedd called this a kind of domino effect. “First, the department of education had to approve the test,” she said. “And the test is a significant part of how the department and the board of education determine the accountability of school corporations, and so the department had to approve that process.”

Consumers unwilling to make a trip to their favorite restaurants will be pleased to hear that they soon will be able to have that food brought straight to their door. BtownMenus announced Sept. 2 that it will be “expanding their online and mobile food ordering and delivery services and technology to more restaurants, giving customers more options.” The expansion is thanks to OrderUp, the technology platform that powers BtownMenus. Working with investment group Revolution Ventures and Tim O’Shaughnessy, co-founder of LivingSocial, OrderUp was able to procure $7 million in Series A funding, the first round of funding for a business after its initial seed capital, according to BtownMenus. “We were at the point where it’s a pretty competitive industry, and we were growing pretty rapidly,”
BtownMenus owner Mike Rolland said. Talk of raising money for expansion had been going back and forth for the last couple of years, Rolland said. After seeing GrubHub, a larger competitor of BtownMenus, garner national media attention with the announcement of its initial public offering, pulling the trigger on expansion seemed like a good idea. Since its initial public offer, GrubHub stock has increased by more than four dollars per share. Rolland said BtownMenus was originally meant for online ordering for restaurants that already offered a delivery service. About a year ago, the company began delivering for restaurants that don’t have a delivery service. “It seemed like the trend was getting to a point where everyone wanted to outsource delivery,” he said. “Restaurants were asking us to deliver for them. Customers were already thinking we were the delivery guys. So we figured it would make sense to add that rev-
enue stream to the model.” Combining the two services, BtownMenus now offers online ordering for delivery restaurants and delivery service for restaurants that do not offer the service. “It’s basically an all-inone stop shop or food court online,” he said. Other services of the expansion include technology development, such as a mobile app and online accounts that will allow people to keep money on BtownMenus. OrderUp is an online and mobile food ordering and delivery service. It currently operates in more than 35 towns and is headquartered in Baltimore, Md. OrderUp has a close relationship with BtownMenus, Rolland said. “Mike Rolland has done a great job growing Btownmenus, and we’re excited to take it to the next level,” Chris Jeffery, CEO of OrderUp, said. “We’ve got a great team already, and now we’re going to be building new technology and services at a much faster rate.”

Elder abuse discussed in Ind. By Holly Hays hvhays@indiana.edu | @hv_hays
Of the 39,848 calls for service made to Indiana Adult Protective Services in 2013, 10,000 cases were opened. Forty-one full-time investigators work throughout the state to answer calls of guardianship and placement issues, questions of financial exploitation and more, said Monroe County Prosecutor Chris Gaal, a member of the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council Board of Directors. Monroe County Adult Protective Services will have an open house 4 p.m. Thursday at the Showers Building, 501 N. Morton, Suite 215. The open house will promote an upcoming statewide conference, “Respect Our Elders: Working Together to Stop Abuse,” a Sept. 18 event in Indianapolis. IPAC will be providing funding for the event. The goal of the event is to raise awareness regarding the needs of adults who cannot care for themselves and to increase APS resources in Monroe County.
“We don’t have adequate resources to meet the needs that are out there,” Gaal said. “We have two investigators. They spend a lot of their time out in the field, driving around, doing home visits.” The APS program contracts with the local prosecutor’s office to provide the personnel and service for the state, according to the APS website. According to the IPAC website, endangered adults are defined as individuals who are more than 18 years of age and are incapable of taking care of themselves for reasons of mental illness, mental retardation, dementia, or other mental or physical incapacity. Despite the low number of investigators in Monroe County, Gaal said the office is ahead of the curve in terms of outreach and programming. However, Unit 10, which is located in Monroe County, also serves Morgan and Owen counties. “There’s a need for greater resources in this area, and that’s the reason why we’re pulling together this conference,” Gaal said.
The conference will feature both local and national speakers and will include a presentation “Investigation and Prosecution of Elder Abuse” by Paul Greenwood of the San Diego Prosecutor’s Office. The presentation will allow police officers to receive continuing education credits, according to the release. Gaal will also be leading a break-out session at the conference, “Preventing Abuse and Neglect: Community Approaches in Monroe County.” There are more than 5.1 million people aged 65 or older with some type of dementia, and, of those, 50 percent experience some sort of abuse, according to statistics provided by Gaal. Furthermore, about 90 percent of abusers are family members. Gaal said he hopes to increase awareness of the needs of endangered adults in the community. He said he has already spoken to both local representatives and a senator about the topic. “It’s something that I’m passionate about,” he said. “It’s got to be addressed.”

TRUTH BY TRACY
For your eyes only It’s big news all over the Internet: America’s BFF Jennifer Lawrence’s nude photos have been leaked to the public sphere. Someone hacked into Lawrence’s iCloud and found the private photos and made them available to the public. A number of other famous women, including Kate Upton, Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande and others were also hacked and had their photos made public. Both Lawrence and Upton have confirmed the photos are indeed authentic, while others involved in this massive assault on privacy have said the photos are fake. Regardless of fame and authenticity, the very idea that someone would hack into a woman’s personal digital storage and leak intimate photos of her to the public at large is an affront to female sexuality. The women involved in this so-called scandal have been exploited and had their bodies and sexuality shared with uninvited audiences. This act is a great crime against the women involved and the female body. The hacker has made a spectacle of these women and their intimate photos. The hacker has made these photographs something to be sought out and discussed in Internet forums in the same fashion that one would view and discuss the latest and greatest memes and Internet trends. Internet forums invite discussion and criticism or even praise for these photographs, but they are not meant for discussion. They are the private property of famous women who have been wrongfully stolen from their personal digital storage, and sharing them

exploits the subject of the photographs. There are countless men and women who send nude pictures of themselves to other people. It doesn’t matter for what reason these intimate photos exist. It doesn’t really even matter that they do, indeed, exist. What matters is that the subject of these photos has an intended audience when they take these photos. Anyone who chooses to disregard the subject’s personal privacy and shares these photos with other people is also exploiting that person’s body and sexuality because others are being invited into the personal and intimate sphere without the subject’s permission. The argument of “if you don’t want your nude photos leaked on the Internet, you shouldn’t take them,” is a victim-blaming argument, similar to the argument of “her skirt was too short.” Jennifer Lawrence has handled the situation with decorum and class. She has not moved to apologize or take responsibility for the situation, nor should she, for she is the victim. It was her privacy and her body that have been compromised. It does not matter in the slightest what she does with her personal space or her body and sexuality. That is no one’s business but her own, and an apology or taking responsibility would only encourage the victim-blaming mentality that circulates within society. johnstra@indiana.edu
OUR CHANGED WORLD
No one expects modern media Our professors at IU certainly have to balance being on the job with their personal lives. With the incredible demands on the faculty and given how integrated Bloomington is with IU in general, we all have seen one of our beloved professors perhaps at dinner, shopping at Target or hitting the IU golf course. They are a metaphor for what public figures must go through in order to accurately represent themselves and their causes. As a fan of golf myself, I understand the urge to get outside with friends and play a quick round on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. But sometimes the national spotlight can make for odd timing and poor imaging, especially when the person being highlighted is someone expected to care for the well-being of constituents. On Aug. 23, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, normally on the left side of the political spectrum, launched an all-out assault on President Barack Obama’s golf habit with a parody of the Gettysburg Address. “FORE! Score? And seven trillion rounds ago, our forecaddies brought forth on this continent a new playground, conceived by Robert Trent Jones, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal when it comes to spending as much time on the links as possible,” Dowd wrote. Just as we are not expected to be constantly hitting the library, practice rooms or laboratories all of the time, Obama cannot be reasonably expected to work all of the time. That being said, it is hard to ignore the dissonance of the commander in chief bending backward over a putt while juxtaposed with
MICHAEL SU is a junior in violin performance
horrible images from the Foley beheading, Ferguson riots or Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Dowd has a serious point here, and while criticism here might be seen as petty, it does bring to mind the history of golfers in the White House. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a member at Augusta National, after all. But the all-seeing eye of national attention can make it nearly impossible to escape. Being president of the United States is no small feat, but we look to our leaders to be at the forefront of the charge. Leaders are expected to lead by example, and unfair public perceptions to the contrary do not do much to reassure anxious Americans that the president is doing what he needs to be to help this country. There is a reason why we make it so difficult to ascend to the highest office in the land. We put our faith and trust in our representatives to work for the betterment of the country, but when idyllic pictures of a golf course clash against the horrible realities of modern war, it looks bad for everyone. Republican or Democrat, all must work within the confines of our all-seeing eyes and always-hearing ears to project the image that is appropriate. Maybe then government approval ratings would no longer be stuck on the levels of apathy and disgust. mjsu@indiana.edu
ILLUSTRATION BY GRIFFIN LEEDS | IDS
Nailing safety, in theory WE SAY: Fight rape, but protect victims first Sexual assault remains a problem on college campuses all across the country. The issue has inspired some to come up with creative means of prevention. A group of students at North Carolina State University is developing a nail polish that can detect the presence of date rape drugs. While it is obvious the idea comes from an intention to help lower the risk of sexual assault, the message the product sends could be harmful instead. Any idea or product that stops rape should be explored and, if it works, utilized. It is naïve to live as though things such as date rape drugs don’t exist, and doing so could get someone seriously hurt. In an effort to combat the sexually predatory situation that many girls find themselves in, many products such as coasters, and now nail polish, are trying to perfect the science of prediction. It remains to be seen whether or not this can be done, but in the meantime there are a few problems with this particular theoretical product that should be addressed before it hits the shelves. First of all, the product is directed at women, which completely ignores
other demographics at risk for sexual assault. Generally, nail polish is considered to be a feminine staple, and men unwilling to cross that line are left unprotected by this product. Targeting the female demographic this way reinforces the idea that rape is a women’s problem, which silences men who might be ashamed to be victims and puts the burden of prevention on women. Not only are women expected to check their drinks for date rape drugs, they are also required to do it stealthily, as though not to offend their potential rapist. It is true that not every guy who hands you a drink is suspicious, but considering most rapes are committed by someone the victim knows, a person can’t always know just by looking. Women should not have to hide the fact they are protecting themselves, because if they don’t, they are blamed for being reckless, stupid or slutty. Projecting that you are testing your drink makes it less likely that someone will try to slip something into it. The real problem with this product, and with those like it, is they have the potential to perpetuate victim-blaming
in cases of sexual assault. Instead of addressing the problem — that of some men don’t understanding consent or that the media continuously projects women as sex objects instead of people or that sick sexual predators on the loose because their sexual crimes have not been taken seriously — it is just another Band-Aid. It is another piece of advice that, while meant to work as armor during the uphill battle of eradicating the real problems, will inevitably serve as just another way to blame the woman for not taking yet another inconvenient and ultimately ineffective precaution. Women can’t walk alone at night, they can’t wear short skirts, and now they can’t even paint their nails the color of their choice. Until we can teach our society to not rape instead of to not get raped, these bandages are what we have to protect ourselves from predators. They are the definition of the lesser of two evils. The ultimate goal would be that people don’t have to worry about things such as this. Until that utopia is realized, products that help protect everyone from the creeps of the world are necessary, encouraged and welcome.

Response: we need laws for cell phones in cars
Vivian James: The “every girl” in gaming
The IDS recently published a letter by Gary Wilson, Ph.D., arguing that there shouldn’t be any laws restricting hands-on cellphone use. I found the letter so egregiously error-ridden that I simply had to respond. First, the rules of the road are not primarily there to protect drivers from themselves — they are there to protect drivers from each other. Dr. Wilson might be skilled enough to safely drive one-handed while conversing with his wife. But should we trust our safety to every other driver’s ability to know their own skill using a cellphone behind the wheel? Absolutely not — for the very same reason that I shouldn’t trust every other driver to determine whether they are sober enough to drive. You can choose to en-
No matter your fluency with Mandarin, it doesn’t take long for you to learn the word for “foreigner” when you’re in China. Covertly whispered, yelled from a distance or hissed with disgust, the syllables quickly become familiar. You’re often treated like an object. People will ask to take pictures with you. People will take pictures of you without asking. I imagine Chinese students at IU — and East Asian students more generally — receive similar treatment. Fifty-seven percent of IU’s international student population comes from East Asia, surpassing the next most-populous region, South Asia, by nearly 40 percentage points. It’s not unusual to hear Chinese or Korean around campus or in classrooms, particularly in the Kelley School of Business, where about onethird of East Asian students
danger yourself, but you cannot choose to endanger others. Since the scientific and medical consensus is that both cellphone use and alcohol make drivers more dangerous, the answer to Dr. Wilson’s question is there ought to be a law. I would like to note that Dr. Wilson presents as contentious a well-established relationship between cellphone use and car accidents, using several faulty arguments and cheap rhetorical tricks to do so. I spot a red herring, since laws of all sorts frequently vary between states, scarequotes, the wholesale dismissal of a huge swath of epidemiological research, a plea for information that could be found in 30 seconds by Googling and pretending that information doesn’t exist, an assumption
that is baseless and, frankly, ridiculous as the average American spends about 100 minutes a day driving and at most an hour on a cellphone, Dr. Wilson then using that assumption to cloud the issue, ignoring the decade between 1995 and 2005, ignoring the problem of controlling for independent variables that might have reduced the rate of accidents, such as the fall in annual miles traveled since 2007, a decline in drunken driving or even a change in the behavior of people reporting crashes, and finally he makes an anecdotal argument and several emotional appeals. You could substitute “alcohol” for “cellphone use;” Wilson’s arguments would work for that, too. David Franks
The last two weeks have been a firestorm surrounding the Zoe Quinn video games journalism scandal. The rough details are that Quinn and a handful of her friends derailed a competing video game project by The Fine Young Capitalists. Both projects by Quinn and TFYC were supposed to give women a positive representation in gaming. The sordid details of Quinn’s alleged sexual favors within the gaming community aside, there is another rising star: Vivian James. When TFYC needed help financing their game production, they turned to crowdsourcing. Then the magic happened. In an unexpected turn of events, 4Chan’s video games internet forum came to the rescue. 4Chan’s /v/ channel became TFYC’s single largest sponsors, donating
and save for the long hair and feminine facial features nobody would know that Vivian James is supposed to be a woman. This is a gaming character any woman could identify with. This is the character the feminist community has been waiting for, and they should be happy, too. That is, unless they can’t stand the fact that it was a community historically comprised of men who gave this character life. Unless Zoe Quinn and her followers are too busy writing another journalistic hit job against TFYC they should consider helping other women in gaming instead of hurting them.

AN EMMA DILEMMA
Dear American students
Protect and preserve
find their major course of study. It’s also not unusual to hear denigrating comments about them from their fellow students. American students usually mean East Asians but can’t be bothered with specifics when belittling a large swath of people. You’ll sometimes hear the inverse as well, with Americans referring to all East Asians on campus — which, according to the University, includes students from countries such as South Korea, Japan and Mongolia in addition to China — collectively as “Chinese.” Southeast Asians are sometimes lumped into this group, too. “They can’t speak English.” “They’ll mess up our group project.” “They are terrible drivers.” They can hear you. And they know what you’re saying. No matter how regretful
your tone, no matter how low your whisper, saying these kind of things is incredibly rude and more than a little bit racist. It’s also all laughably shortsighted. Although China and Japan are the two largest economies behind the United States, and President Barack Obama has been trying to “pivot” American foreign policy eastward for most of his presidency, American students prefer to study in the U.K., Italy or Spain, according to a 2013 State Department report. Only about 8 percent of American students studying abroad make their way to East Asia, though the plurality of East Asian students come to the U.S. Meanwhile, China is one of the U.S.’ most important trading partners and owns about $1.2 trillion of U.S. debt. The U.S. also has security treaties with Japan, South

Korea and Taiwan and a prominent military presence throughout East Asia. If the moral argument for looking past stereotypes is unconvincing, consider this: the U.S.’ economic and political entanglements with East Asia indicate that, in all likelihood, American graduates will be working with East Asians at some point in their careers. Spending time as an undergraduate reciting racial stereotypes isn’t going to help when that time comes. Actually making the effort to get to know East Asian students as people just might. Because in the real world, making racist generalizations is often a fireable offense. casefarr@indiana.edu
BANK ON IT
Lifetime needs an intervention Lifetime is killing me. Like dropping a Mack truck on me, killing me. The network’s new show “Girlfriend Intervention” infuriates every nerve ending in my entire body and insults my very being. If you haven’t heard, “Girlfriend Intervention” is television’s latest attempt at not being racist by being racist. The show is modeled somewhat on “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” There are four “experts”: Tracy Balan, the beauty pro, Nikki Chu, the interior decorator, Tiffiny Dixon, the “fashion maven,” and Tanisha Thomas, the soul coach. Together they transform another woman into a happy, confident butterfly, and all is right in the world again. Here’s the kicker: the four hosts are black, and the wom-
more than $5,000. TFYC and /v/ have worked closely together to create something new, maybe I should say someone new, and also entirely unexpected. That someone is Vivian James. Vivian James is a play on the phrase “video games,” and she is /v/’s concept of what a normal gamer girl would look like. Styling midback length red hair, a striped baggy hoodie, blue jeans and finished with 4Chan’s trademark four leaf clover atop a hair band, Vivian is supposed to be the “every girl” in gaming. Here’s what’s not been said about Vivian James yet: she has a totally normal and non-sexualized body. She has a more or less normal and non-descript build. Her body is largely hidden under blue jeans and a baggy hoodie,
en they’re “helping” are white. From the look of it, they are exclusively white. “Trapped inside every white girl is a strong black woman busting to get out,” Thomas said in the beginning of the first episode. No. No, there’s not. There might be different qualities in every woman — but there is not a black woman inside them. This show works off the premise that all black women are the same. And we’re not. As awesome as it would be if every woman — white, Hispanic, Asian or black — had those traits, that is not the reality. There are just as many black women who are insecure with body image issues, who don’t always speak their minds and who don’t have a snappy comment at the ready.
At the end of a clip released before the showed officially premiered, Thomas said, “You’re officially now black, whether you like it or not.” Wrong again. Being black is not an act. It’s not something you can just throw your shoulders back and become. We all probably know someone who “acts black.” I tease my mom about it all the time. In our society we have an idea of what it means to be black. We’ve defined it as the way you talk, dress and walk. I am told on an almost weekly basis that I “act white” because of the way I talk, dress and walk. Enunciating my words and wearing cardigans does not make me white. Letting your pants hang under your butt does not make you black.

At the end of the day, what we have left is the color of our skin. And no little personality quirks are going to change it. This show is not helping our society. It is embracing and flaunting common racial stereotypes and making a profit off of them. Maybe they are helping these women. I can’t deny that the ladies in the show looked happy with their results. There is nothing wrong with giving a woman confidence. What’s wrong is giving that woman a different racial identity. lnbanks@indiana.edu
Joanna Zelman, executive editor of the Dodo, posted a compelling piece about the dangers of human insensitivity on her blog. The Dodo, as the name might suggest, helps endangered animals and raises awareness about threats to habitats and animal welfare. Zelman described a day at the beach that ended in a grim and shocking death. A baby shark wandered into the shallows of the swimming area and was caught by a tourist who wanted to take a photo with it. Why you would pick up a shark, even a baby, is beyond me, but that’s what these people apparently did. And suddenly, there was a line. Everyone wanted a selfie with the baby shark. Zelman, hearing the commotion, went over to see what all the fuss was about. The shark was struggling to breathe and growing weaker. She tried to fight off the tourists, telling them they were killing the animal by keeping it above water. They all ignored her, too engrossed in taking a picture. They continued to take pictures after Zelman managed to get ahold of the shark and check to see if it was still alive after so much stress. But before she could do anything else, the baby suffocated and died. Perhaps one of the saddest parts of the alleged story, when Zelman went to put the shark’s lifeless body back in the water, a little girl stomped over to her and said she didn’t want the shark “stinking up her ocean.” The inhumane cruelty of the shark’s death was terrible, and we can all point fingers at lack of education and a fundamental

misunderstanding of how impactful the death of an animal can be on an ecosystem, but at the end of the day, this is probably not the first time an animal has died because a human didn’t know they were killing it. This is a problem that extends to Bloomington, too. The Monroe County Recycling Center website says that the nearest recycling centers in Bloomington are all 20 minutes to a half hour away from campus — too far for most students. There were problems with the Griffy Lake deer population. On a larger scale, the bee populations are dying off, and the Global Research Centre has reported that it has to do with the obscene amounts of pesticides dumped into fields and a misunderstanding of the importance of the bee in the production of fruits and vegetables. In short, Bloomington is not without its environmental problems. These horror stories of human incompetence and cruelty stretch beyond tourist traps loaded with inept ocean-goers who just want to take a selfie with the local flora and fauna. Human beings have to start recognizing that nature is not “touch-itand-see-what-happens,” but nor is it a museum of fossils. Nature needs to be preserved and protected. Sometimes, the easiest way to do so is to not do anything. Like, for example, not taking a baby shark out of the ocean and killing it. ewenning@indiana.edu

This committee addresses financial conflicts of interest in research. In its first meeting of the school year, the council also took on discussion regarding sexual assault policies. The BFC responded to a recent routine investigation spearheaded by the Department of Education, which was announced earlier this year, and recent changes to Title IX. “(Title IX) does currently require changes in some of the policies and procedures that we use to investigate, first of all, any claims of sexual assault or harassment,� said Jacqueline Simmons, vice president and general counsel for IU.

Pre-college ballet program teaches young dancers technique and professionalism By Liliane Ho yuehe@indiana.edu
Young, aspiring ballet dancers flock to the Jacobs School of Music to undergo premier dance training before they enter college. The program just recently named a new director, Michael Vernon, earlier this summer. Vernon studied at the Royal Ballet School in London and performed in both London and New York. Since being named director of the ballet department, he has choreographed numerous shows and opera theater productions. “We are creating and adding more contemporary elements into our production under the new direction,” Associate Director Jennifer Adam said. The pre-college ballet program draws top faculty members from both the professional dancing world and some of the most talented dancers in the IU Department of Ballet. “Coming from Pittsburgh, I feel very lucky to have such wonderful teachers at IU and have learned so much from them,” senior ballet major Maura Bell said. “I think it is great that I’m able to pass it down to younger kids in the pre-college program.” The program is meant to mimic the ballet department for college ballet majors, Bell said. “I think the faculty group does a great job to achieve the goal,” she said. “Their experiences brought tons of professional opportunities to young students in Bloomington and the surrounding area. The kids might not have access to such great trainings and instructors without this program.” The program works with the SEE BALLET, PAGE 11

By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP
IU Art Museum will open its doors to students 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday at its MIX at the Museum. Art, music and free food will be provided for students. IU Art Museum director Adelheid Gealt said the event is designed to help students feel comfortable in the museum. “It’s really a resource for them,” she said. “Art is really enjoyable.” Friday night, students will be able to immerse themselves in the museum’s permanent collection. African, Chinese, Indian, European and American art will be exhibited. Gealt said she hopes this event will allow incoming students to resonate with the art. “I imagine they’ll find something that will give them a thrill,” she said. Curatorial and educational programs coordinator Ann Fields said in an email that MIX at the Museum was created by combining successful parts of past events. The main goal was to

Gala supports Bloomington non-profit From IDS reports
Non-profit group Giving Back to Africa is presenting its 2014 gala at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 4 at the Clubhouse at the Fields. Giving Back to Africa is a Bloomington-based nonprofit that supports students in the Democratic Republic of Congo through leadership and service. The group creates programs that combine leadership and service for students in the DRC and teaches them to try to solve problems in their communities. The founders of the group spent two years in the DRC
learning about the communities and problems they face. The founders noticed that the country had a lack of leadership, especially among young people. In 2007, the group joined with two Congolese institutions and created a servant leadership pilot program. The gala will include an African-inspired dinner from FARMbloomington, a silent auction, and Congolese fashions and products. A documentary will also be shown at the event, sharing stories of the growth of the community from students and teachers in the
program. The program manager in the DRC will also be present at the event and will give a speech with updates about the program. Individual tickets to the event are $60 for non-students and $30 for students. A table of eight costs $450. Each ticket includes one free drink from the cash bar. To purchase a ticket for the event, register at givingbacktoafrica.org. All proceeds from the gala will benefit Giving Back to Africa’s programs in the DRC at the Centre Salisa school. Alison Graham
offers students the opportunity to do a short selfguided tour of the galleries by having them find specific
pieces in each gallery and look for answers to questions,” Fields said. “It’s great for students because it helps
them learn to look at an artwork or object, and they can go at their own pace.” The scavenger hunt, once complete, will result in a drawing for IU Theater tickets. The activities will change depending on the theme of the event. Friday is one event in a series of three. Fields said the Oct. 2 event will feature food-themed activities, and the Nov. 6 event will feature activities inspired by the novel and play “Pride and Prejudice.” Many students don’t realize admission to the museum and all of the programs there are free, Fields said. By having events such as this, they can show people the museum and its terrific collection. “We reach people who don’t already realize how great the museum is, while also offering art lovers an opportunity to experience the museum in a different way,” she said.
Polish filmmaker Zanussi to speak at IU Cinema Sept. 21 From IDS reports
The IU Cinema announced this weekend that Polish director Krzysztof Zanussi will be featured as part of the Jorgenson Guest Filmmaker Lecture Series on Sept. 12. Zanussi is coming in conjunction with a program created by Martin Scorsese, titled “Martin Scorsese Presents: Masterpieces of Polish Cinema.” Scorsese’s program plans to bring 21 classic Polish films to United States
audiences and bring greater attention to the films produced in Poland. “This is a cinema of personal vision, social commitment and poetic responsibility,” Scorsese said in a press release. Zanussi was born in 1939 in Warsaw, Poland. He studied philosophy and physics in college before graduating from the Lodz Film School in 1966. Since then, he has worked as a screenwriter, director, producer, author and stage director for a va-
riety of productions. The films he produces are normally focused on metaphysical questions and philosophical dramas experienced in daily life. The IU Cinema is screening three of Zanussi’s films, which will be presented in Polish with English subtitles. Zanussi is scheduled to be present Sept. 12 and 13 at the IU Cinema at the screenings of his movies. SEE FILMMAKER, PAGE 11

THE SPORTS S’TORI
A new era for IU football You’ve got to like IU’s chances this year. I mean, if you think about it, the Hoosiers really have a shot at a bowl game. Yes, despite making a brief cameo in ESPN’s college football playoff commercial, the narrative for IU football remains bowl game or bust. But for college football as a whole, a new chapter began last Thursday as the sport entered into the College Football Playoff era. The playoff system has been touted for years, but the implications of this new — and very real — beginning aren’t lost on this college football fan. For the first time, the NCAA has made an effort to even the playing field between the Bowl Championship Series and non-BCS conferences. It has been a point of consternation since the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl when undefeated Boise State stunned Big 12 champion Oklahoma by going for two in overtime. The game capped off with a storybook proposal by Boise running back Ian Johnson to Bronco head cheerleader Chrissy Popadics and created a compelling argument for the underdog. It sparked a national conversation on whether or not mid-majors were “justified” to play for a national title, an ongoing debate from then on. A debate so heated, in fact, that it went all the way to the Senate in 2011 after Texas Christian University failed to make the national title game following two consecutive undefeated seasons. An undefeated run, of course, that ended in a 2119 Rose Bowl win against Big Ten co-champion Wisconsin. In 2009 and 2010, the Horned Frogs finished No. 4 and No. 3, respectively, entering the Bowl Championship Series. Now, thanks to the CFB Playoff system, the country will finally have a chance to see the TCUs of college football compete for the ultimate prize. It’s the same feeling the
TORI ZIEGE is a sophomore in journalism.
NCAA Tournament gives fans and teams alike during March Madness. The feeling that anything can happen. Cinderella can go to the ball, and that’s precisely why nothing else causes pandemonium quite like college basketball. Now, college football — a dramatic sport already, mind you — has been elevated, giving December and January an even greater allure. The kickoff to the 2014 season may have seemed like any other opening weekend to a college football fan. Texas A&M had a quarterback break more records, USC had another scandal on its hands and Georgia had talented running backs to spare. But now, when the college football faithful envisions how the end of the season will look for their teams, they need not curb their expectations. A top-four ranking will secure a team — yes, any team — a shot at a national championship. According to ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit, the playoff bids currently belong to Georgia, Florida State, Oklahoma and Texas A&M. But you can bet, as Herbstreit does, that the weekly rankings will be “very fluid.” And what about the Hoosiers, you might ask Herbstreit? Well, an IU fan did ask Monday night on Twitter. “Bowl bound,” Herbstreit replied. But then again .... IU has a new defensive coordinator. IU has a running back that ranks second nationally in rushing yards. And — as the ESPN commercial so rightfully states — “nobody goes harder than us.” Yes, the new CFB Playoff system has given every fan, even Hoosiers, the right to ask, “seriously, why not us?” vziege@indiana.edu
This year’s Hoosier Hysteria set for Oct. 25 Hoosier Hysteria, IU’s annual opening practice for IU’s men’s and women’s basketball teams, will take place Saturday, Oct. 25. The date was announced Saturday during
IU’s 28-10 win against Indiana State at Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers won’t have a football game during the weekend of Hoosier Hysteria. IU will be on its second bye week.
Hoosiers earn weekly honors From IDS reports
A pair of Hoosiers picked up recognition Tuesday, and the team itself climbed up national rankings. After just one weekend of college soccer, freshman Grant Lillard is gaining accolades. Lillard was named to the all-tournament team for the IU Credit Union Classic on Sunday and to Top Drawer Soccer’s first team of the week of the 2014 season Tuesday. Lillard is the only IU player on the team and the only player who competed in the IU Credit Union Classic last weekend. The 6-foot-4-inch defender played every minute of both games against ranked opponents Georgetown and Marquette. Lillard was the only member of the IU defense to do so. Lillard was often seen stopping attacks from talented offensive players from both Georgetown and Marquette and even strode forward with the ball a few times. One of these occasions led to IU’s lone goal against Marquette in Sunday’s 1-0 win. Sophomore goalkeeper Colin Webb picked up Big

Ten Defensive Player of the Week honor after making seven saves in the weekend and being named to the IU Credit Union Classic AllTournament team. It was the second time he claimed the award in his career.
In addition to Lillard and Webb gaining national recognition, IU moved into the rankings of Top Drawer Soccer, College Soccer News and Soccer America. IU is ranked No. 19 in Top Drawer Soccer’s rank-
ings, No. 22 in College Soccer News’ rankings and No. 17 in Soccer America’s. IU was not ranked in any polls entering last weekend. Michael Hughes
Assistant coaches join Moren’s staff From IDS reports
The IU women’s basketball program announced the coaching staff that will join new head coach Teri Moren on Tuesday. Curtis Loyd, Rhet Wierzba and Todd Starkey will coach their first season in Bloomington as assistant coaches. Loyd was hired in May after serving as associate head coach at the University of Minnesota. His 18 years of coaching experience make him the most experienced coach on the IU staff. Loyd also spent time at Akron, Virginia, Arizona and Colorado State.
“Curtis has a tremendous reputation of being an outstanding recruiter and is well respected by his colleagues,” Moren said in a Sept. 2 release. “He will bring a familiarity to the Big Ten for us that will only help us as we prepare for some of the best teams in the country.” Wierzba comes to IU with Moren after coaching with her for a year at Indiana State during the 201314 season. Under Moren and Wierzba, the Sycamores brought home the Missouri Valley Conference championship for the first time since 2006. Wierzba’s main responsibilities in Terre Haute
involved recruiting and developing post players. The other new face in Bloomington belongs to Starkey, the former head coach of Lenior-Rhyne University for nine years. Starkey leaves that program as the winningest coach in the school’s history. In 2009, he also was named the Russell Athletic/WBCA NCAA Division II Coach of the Year after leading the Bears to a 27-5 record. In his last six years at Lenior-Rhyne, Starkey compiled a record of 12452 (0.705). “(Starkey) brings experience and a commitment to the well-being of our stu-
dent athletes,” Moren said in the release. “Our philosophies and how we see the game are very similar, and that excites me as we strive to build a championship program.” Two staffers are remaining with the program from last year. Liz Honegger will begin her third year as director of basketball operations. Briana Bass was with the program last year but will serve in a new role as assistant to the director of basketball operations. Amanda Hyde will also be on staff in her first year as a graduate assistant. Casey Krajewski

Savory Sushi Steals: Japonee After Japonee took a short break from the Bloomington scene a few years ago, it came back with a bang, debuting a sake bar on North Walnut Street and Japonee Express off Kirkwood Avenue. Sake Bar has a homey Japanese feeling, with welcoming décor and lighting that makes any night of sushi and sake bombing feel fun and fancy. This is an awesome place for a fun night out with friends. If you’re not into sake and sushi, you can always go to check out the atmosphere and munch on their awesome vegetable tempura. Sake Bar’s sister, Japonee Express, gives you the option to dine in or dine out, and the service is fast. Japonee Express has a buy-one-get-one-free deal on their special rolls on Mondays, which can save you up to $15 on a single meal. Also, all customers get an unlimited amount of miso soup for free. It’s only September now, but once it gets cold, this deal can keep students

warm during a lunch break between classes. Not only can you soak in the awesome deal at the express location, but you can also opt to order delivery with only a $10 minimum and a $2 delivery fee. If you’re a fan of the deep-fried tempura rolls, try the Crazy Roll next time you visit Japonee. It includes tuna, salmon, cream cheese and avocado on the inside. The outside is deep-fried and drizzled with spicy mayo and eel sauce. If you’re feeling extra hungry, grab a side of the seaweed salad for a refreshing treat. When your sweet tooth calls for a sugar craving after your delicious meal, opt for a traditional Japanese dessert, and make sure to ask your server what kind of mochi is available. Mochi is a rice cake that can either be served alone or filled with ice cream, either of which sounds delicious.

students to present classical performances. This fall the group plans to put on “Dark Ellegies,” “The Emeralds” and “The Envelope.” “It’s very exciting to see a lot of new teachers here and a lot of creations in the production process,” Claessens said. The program has seen
success over the years and has been operating for almost 20 years. Part of its success comes from the popularity and familiarity of the college program at Jacobs. “Bloomington is very familiar with our production, especially ‘Nutcracker,’ which is really popular for the public,” Bell said. “The fact that we do come with that reputation makes the
program big for itself.” The reputation of the program is what convinced principal teacher and Curriculum Adviser Christian Claessens to join the staff when she was invited a few years ago. “It’s a top school. It’s continuing the tradition of offering great ballet training programs,” Claessens said. “And the main thing is to create dancers, those who are going to be top dancers in the
dancing world.” Faculty members agree that the college program has a spirit of creating true professional excellence. “I believe that we all do our best to create dancers,” Claessens said. “Not just about creating professional dancers, but creating a discipline and also introducing an audience, people who know the performing group and truly appreciate their works.”
