President Obama announces new immigration plan By Emily Ernsbeger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyernsberger
President Obama outlined plans Thursday evening that would overhaul the nation’s immigration system — plans that allow for qualified undocumented immigrants to apply for temporary reprieval from deportation. About 5 million undocumented immigrants are expected to qualify, according to the White House. The new actions involve sending people crossing into the United States border back, expanding immigration options for criminal victims and deporting undocumented immigrants. These undocumeneted immigrants would be deported with felony convictions and criminals whose crimes are viewed as a threat to future security. Angela Adams, Indiana Chapter Chair of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said that deferred action is not an ultimate route to citizenship. “Deferred action is not a path to citizenship or permanent residency, but it does provide temporary work authorization,” Adams said in an email. President Obama’s orders are also designed to help immigrants create businesses and receive jobs to help maintain visas and work permits, in addition to receiving educational opportunities for foreign students studying science, technology, engineering and mathematical subjects in American universities across the United States. “Bringing undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and providing some relief from possible

deportation would not only have a positive effect on our economy, but also make our communities and roads safer,” Adams said in the email. Many of these new orders will be instated by strengthening federal executive departments and creating new programs, including the Priority Enforcement Program, which will serve to identify criminal undocumented immigrants. Those who have been here for at least five years will be able to apply to live in the U.S. without fear of deportation, Obama said in his address. In 2011, an estimated 110,000 undocumented immigrants were living in Indiana, according to data from the Pew Research Center. And in 2013, more than 7,000 people applied to be permanent residents of Indiana, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

There were stretches on Thursday night where IU’s shooting went cold. Shots weren’t dropping. But IU didn’t stray away from them. This is a team designed to play with four guards. It’s built around hitting jump shots, whether that ultimately proves good or bad. When IU needed shots to fall the most, the Hoosiers started taking 3-pointers. And they hit them consistently. IU made five of its final 10 3-point attempts en route to upsetting No. 22
When IU lost games last season, it could usually be attributed to some combination of turnovers and bad shooting. An early-season loss to Connecticut featured 19 turnovers and just three made 3-pointers. The blowout loss at Syracuse saw 16 turnovers and four made 3-pointers. The worst offense came in IU’s final-minute collapse against Penn State. The Hoosiers gave the ball away 20 times — five in the last 199 seconds — and made only five 3-pointers in the loss.

I would not only like to expand on the implementation of these solutions, such as extension and live-out policies, for the future, but also focus on the education of the PHA (Panhellenic Association) community, the IU community and parents in what efforts the PHA community and its chapters are taking to improve the issue at hand.” REBECCA RABIN Year Junior Chapter Sigma Delta Tau Position Vice president of finance What she hopes to accomplish “As vice president of finance, SEE PANEHELLENIC, PAGE 6
Holiday concert coming to Buskirk By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP
This year, Bloomington Symphony Orchestra officials are looking to introduce what show organizers said they hope will become a local Christmas tradition. “Holly Days: Christmas with the BSO” will take place at 5:30 and 8 p.m. Nov. 28 at the Buskirk Chumley. “We are doing a variety of Christmas pieces,” said Donna Lafferty, executive director and a trombonist in the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, adding that the two concerts will vary. The earlier concert will be more child-friendly. The concert is set to be shorter and will have an educational component. At the orchestra’s kid-friendly events, Lafferty said they usually have a “musical passport” they give out and stamp so that local children can get to know the different musical instruments that make up an orchestra. The “Holly Days” concert will focus on the brass instruments. Santa and his elves will be in attendance, Lafferty said. There will
