Graduate workers protest conditions

IDS

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

“I lost a tooth because I couldn’t afford to go to the dentist,” read a statement from an anonymous graduate student at the town hall organized by the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition on Thursday.

The town hall addressed concerns raised by many graduate workers about the mandatory fees students are required to pay in order to work and learn at IU. The coalition was formed, informally, in 2017 after a nationwide graduate student walk out to protest fees. At IU, the coalition has been slowly forming over the last 18 months in order to fight for better working conditions for graduate student workers at IU Bloomington, according to a press release sent by public relations representative Elizabeth Williams.

Over 300 graduate students attended the event, sitting on the floor, in the aisles and spilling into the hallway outside of the lecture hall. All of them were there because they believed the addition of fees was unfair to graduate workers.

“We are all the Graduate Workers Coalition,” yelled Valentina Luketa, “We are all fighting for better conditions.”

She was met with thunderous applause from around the room.

The average graduate worker pays about 8% of their stipend back to the university in fees. Jacobs School of Music and international students can pay up to four times this much, up to 37% of their stipend, said Sanjana Agarwal and Peter Cho, two members of the coalition.

When they are admitted to their programs, many graduate students are not made aware they will have to pay these fees, said Nathan Schmidt.

Some members of the faculty are not aware how high these fees really are.

“You can find them, but you have to know exactly where to look, and

Best of the bluegrass IU upsets No. 15 Kentucky on the road in five sets to give the Wildcats their first home loss since 2017.

By Luke Lusson llusson@iu.edu | @LukeLusson

When head coach Steve Aird started his second year at IU, he made his intention of playing stronger non-conference competition known right from the start.

“I just think it’s important that we start playing really good programs,” Aird said in a press conference before the season. “If you’re going to play in the nation’s best conference, you don’t want to duck people.”

Aird kept his promise this weekend. The Hoosiers traveled to Lexington, Kentucky, to compete in the Bluegrass Battle, a three-match tournament that concluded with a clash against No. 15 University of Kentucky.

In a five set battle, IU came back from losing two sets to one and knocked off the Wildcats in their own gym.

The upset came after two wins Friday over Florida Gulf Coast University and Cleveland State University.

IU’s win over Kentucky is its second win over a ranked opponent under Aird, the first came last season against a then 14th-ranked University of Michigan in Bloomington.

A gift from Luzetta and Del Newkirk supported the newly renovated cafe and gift shop, named in their honor. A piece of contem-

porary work by English designer, Paul Cocksedge, was installed on the ceiling above the cafe and gift shop, made possible by a donation from Nancy and Bill Hunt.

According to the museum’s website, “With the current renovation, the museum’s building will

provide new and better opportunities for exploring and learning from our collection. The renovation will further secure the IU Eskenazi Museum of Art’s position as one of the preeminent teaching museums in the country for generations to come.”

Walking into any one of the local vape shops, one will see – and smell – a large variety of vape flavors like green apple and piña colada with names like Bubble Raze. This may soon be a thing of the past if President Donald Trump’s most recent ban takes effect.

President Trump recently announced an initiative to ban the sale of flavored electronic cigarette products. This comes on the heels of multiple deaths the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are linking to vaping.

The final parameters will take several weeks to complete and come out. While many people seem supportive of it because of the recent health scares, some local vape shops feel differently.

“I’m pretty worried,” said Jadon Harrison, assistant manager of Maxx Electronic Cigarettes East in Bloomington. “I am reasonably certain that if that happens, I won’t have a job.”

Harrison and Moh Fall, co-owner of Vape Rush in College Mall, view the decision as misguided and see a possibility of negative repercussions.

“It will definitely slow down business dramatically, but that’s not even the sad part,” said Fall. “Our customers are hopefully going to quit everything, but I’m 95% sure that most of these people that have successfully quit cigarettes will go back to cigarettes.”

They see the best use of vaping as a tool for people trying to quit smoking and worry how the ban on flavored products would affect those customers. Both of them used to smoke but quit by vaping instead.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials would leave only the tobacco flavor for those who still want to use vaping as a smoking alternative. Harrison said this is an odd decision because menthol-flavored cigarettes can still be purchased.

Harrison said everyone likes things that taste good, not just kids, so the ban seems pointless.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Juul Labs Inc. is deciding if it is going to push back on the ban. The SEE VAPE, PAGE 5

Stolen puppy found near Bloomington Hospital Thursday

By Ben Price beprice@iu.edu | @bbenpprice54

A 20-year-old Bloomington man is being held on preliminary charges of possession of meth and theft after police say he stole a puppy.

A woman tied her black labrador puppy named Gary to a pole by a bus stop at approximately 9 p.m. Thursday near the Kroger on College Avenue, Bloomington Police Department Lt. John Kovach said. She told police she was briefly running inside.

When she arrived back outside, the dog was gone. A bystander said he or she witnessed a man walk off with the dog.

The Switchyard Park is under construction Sept. 11 on South Rogers Street. A skate park is being built at the site, among other attractions.

New park comes to town Switchyard Park to bring community involvement, affordable parking

By Claire Peters clapete@iu.edu | @claire_peterss

The new Switchyard Park is reviving a historic area and helping inform the public about a forgotten period in Bloomington’s history. It is set to open November 2019, with the final completion including seasonal planting in May 2020.

“The citizens’ survey said they wanted more opportunities to be active,” said Paula McDevitt, director of Parks and Recreation.“It just made sense for the city, we had the trail going there anyway, it was a part of our trail system.”

In the park’s 65.29 acres, it includes opportunities for the public to get involved with a community garden, a scare park with 20 different obstacles and a dog park that spans almost five acres. They are planting 600 trees and

2,000 reforestation seedlings.

The park also provides facilities to host gatherings and performances, such as a pavilion with outdoor and indoor spaces, a stage that can accommodate 5,000 to 8,000 people and a picnic shelter.

The location, at 245 W. Grimes Lane, was chosen for the historic Monon railroad station and the Mcdoel switchyard that was developed in the 1910s. The BLine Trail also runs by this location.

“The railroad was a hub of activity when manufacturing was going gangbusters in the community,” said Dave Williams, the director of operations and development. “We want to pay homage to railroad history in Bloomington because it’s a very long one.”

The rail yard was supported by the manufacturing industry as they used the rail-

road to ship out the product, but once the manufacturing industry started to decline, so did the railroad.

There will be information about the station and the switchyard throughout the park on display boards, just like the ones along the BLine trail.

Dave Williams, the Operations and Development Director for Bloomington Parks and Rec, said they were able to get the land because of the soil in that area needs to be remediated as a result of the coal ash and cinders that were left there while the switchyard and station were active.

“It had liabilities not everyone wanted to take on, but the city was willing to,” Williams said. “If you come to the park, there is a protective layer of clean soil that covers the coal ash.”

Jud Huber, project inspector, said as long as it is not disturbed, then it is safe for the patrons.

“There’s somewhere be-

tween 6-12 inches of cover as we do general excavation,” Huber said.

He said the city has worked in this area before when they constructed a part of the b-line trail in that location.

“Coal ash is an inert material, so you have to be careful with the dust during construction, but it doesn’t wander and stays in place,” Williams said. “We’re taking care of environmental remediation by building a park.”

As well as park features, the area will be home to affordable housing, which McDevitt said was very important to the city. South Central Indiana Housing Opportunities Corporation, a nonprofit affordable housing developer, will be building, leasing and managing them.

“They will re-energized that area of the community,” McDevitt said. “Not only to repurpose the parcel into park, but to revitalize that area of the community.”

Campus preacher issued warning

By Grace Ybarra gnybarra@iu.edu | @gnybarra

Brother Jed was issued a trespass warning Wednesday by the IU Police Department after allegedly pushing a man outside Woodburn Hall.

The 76-year-old preacher, whose real name is George Smock, and his 61-year-old wife, Cindy Smock, better known as Sister Cindy, were conducting their open-air, confrontational evangelism preaching on IU’s campus yesterday.

Brother Jed said in an interview with the IDS he has been preaching at IU nearly every year since 1974.

“Of course, the vast majority of students vehemently disagree with my stance on the Bible,” Brother Jed said.

“They don’t like us speaking out against the immorality and general party life and drunkenness that prevails on campus.”

IUPD Capt. Craig Munroe said IUPD received a call about a physical altercation at 12:16 p.m. outside of Woodburn Hall.

He said the caller alleged Sister Cindy made physical contact with a student counter-protester.

IUPD officers were then dispatched to the area outside Woodburn Hall. Munroe said the complainant had already left the crowd when officers arrived.

Brother Jed denied that his wife physically touched anyone and said he believed the reason the police were called was in response to a student.

“A chubby, slovenly -dressed boy was going through the crowd shouting, ‘Hail Satan,’” Brother Jed said.

He said the counterprotester invaded his wife’s personal space and lunged at him. Brother Jed said the

Kovach said 20-year-old Logan Cofresi was found by BPD on Second Street near IU Health Bloomington Hospital. He had a dog that matched the description of Gary — black with white patches wearing a red collar.

Gary’s owner called his name, and Kovach said the dog came running like he knew her. Gary was unharmed.

Kovach said Cofresi was being uncooperative, and police arrested him. After searching Cofresi, officers found he had a white substance in his possession that they believed to be meth. He was then taken to Monroe County Correctional Center.

Counterfeit bill leads to citation at Buffalo Wild Wings

By Ellen Hine emhine@iu.edu | @ellenmhine

A night out at Buffalo Wild Wings for a Bloomington couple ended in a criminal misdemeanor citation after police found a glass pipe in their possession.

Police were called at 9:51 p.m. Wednesday to the Buffalo Wild Wings at 1350 W. Bloomfield Road after an employee reported a couple had attempted to pay for their meal with four $5 counterfeit bills, Bloomington Police Department Lt. John Kovach said.

Kovach said the bills were easily identifiable as fake.

They lacked a watermark, were made from the wrong material and had matching serial numbers. One bill had a foreign language on it. The bills also failed a counterfeitdetecting pen test.

Officers interviewed 47-year-old Troy McCormick and his female partner, Kovach said. The woman told officers they had used a gift card to pay for their meal but didn’t realize it did not have enough money on it to cover the meal. The two used a combination of their money to make up the difference.

Both McCormick and the woman claimed they did not

know the money was fake and said they believed had received the money from a man who was staying at their trailer. McCormick said he had real money he could use to pay the bill.

Kovach said the manager of Buffalo Wild Wings advised the two they would not be allowed on the property for six months. The woman then asked police to look at the rest of the money she had to confirm it was not fake.

When police were searching her purse, they found a glass pipe wrapped in a napkin with a white residue on it, Kovach said.

McCormick told police the pipe was his. He claimed to have found it on the ground in his driveway and put it in his pocket.

McCormick was cited with a preliminary charge of possession of paraphernalia. He was not arrested. The pipe was taken by police officers to be destroyed.

The manager of Buffalo Wild Wings told police when he discovered the counterfeit bills, he stopped the couple’s meal from being made. Since no food was consumed, Kovach said McCormick and the woman did not have to pay a bill. Their gift card was returned.

crowd then restrained the man, and he left.

Munroe said after arriving at the scene, the officers then observed the preaching and crowd of people around the couple.

He said a man entered the inner circle of the crowd and kissed another man.

Munroe said the officer said he saw Brother Jed then gently push one of the men.

Brother Jed said there were several same-sex people kissing one another, and he told the IDS he thought it was absurd to say he shoved one of them.

“I think they were just making that up,” Brother Jed said. “I think they were just looking for a reason to get rid of me.”

Brother Jed said the claim was ridiculous,and he denied shoving people. When asked if he made physical contact with anyone, he was

unsure.

“I might’ve touched him I don’t know,” Brother Jed said. “He was touching me.

We were touching one another. He lunged at me.”

Munroe said the officers let the couple preach and waited for a break in between classes to remove the speaker.

Brother Jed said two officers grabbed him by the arm and escorted him back to their vehicle and issued him a trespass warning.

IUPD left the scene at 1:38 p.m.

Munroe said the trespass warning was in response to violence and not his subject of speech on campus.

“Physical violence is not covered by the First Amendment,” Munroe said. “We will defend people’s First Amendment rights.”

Brother Jed said he believed the trespass warning

was a matter of free speech.

“I’m 76 years old and my wife is 61. I’m not about to start a fight with a 20-yearold college student. I’m not going to get very far,” Brother Jed said.

Munroe said the trespass warning advised Brother Jed not to return to the west side of Woodburn Hall for a year and that he could try to appeal it.

Brother Jed said he and his wife have an appointment at 4 p.m. Friday to appeal the trespass warning.

Brother Jed told the IDS he was unaware the trespass warning only applied to the west side of Woodburn Hall.

He said he was told he was subject to arrest if he was walking around campus.

If the trespass warning only applies to that area, Brother Jed said he will definitely return to campus to preach.

Joe Biden praised pharmaceutical companies Saturday, offering a line that could draw pushback from Democratic opponents who have demonized the industry’s focus on profits.

“By the way, great drug companies out there — except a couple of opioid outfits,” the former vice president told donors at the Dallas home of David Genecov, a craniofacial surgeon.

Biden’s comment came during a discussion of medical research and the cancer “moonshot” initiative he launched during the Obama administration following the death of his son, Beau Biden, in 2015. That effort included his push for companies to collaborate more on research. But he sounded a discordant note in praising the

companies themselves _ and not the research he intended to praise specifically _ given the near-universal agreement in both parties that companies set drug prices too high, and given his own efforts to further regulate the industry.

The Biden campaign’s healthcare proposal includes a segment on fighting pharmaceutical companies’ price structures.

“Too many Americans cannot afford their prescription drugs, and prescription drug corporations are profiteering off of the pocketbooks of sick individuals,” according to the Biden campaign website. “The Biden plan will put a stop to runaway drug prices and the profiteering of the drug industry.”

City council votes on sewage rate increases

By Claire Peters clapete@iu.edu | @claire_peterss

The Bloomington City Council voted Wednesday night on multiple changes regarding the sewer system.

The council discussed the issuance of bonds for the Monroe County Redevelopment Commission, refunding bonds for the sewage works, a rate increase for sewer utilities and waiving connection fees in certain contexts.

Jeff Cockerill, a Monroe County attorney representing the county’s Redevelopment Commission, spoke on an ordinance to authorize insurance bonds for the commission to extend streets around Profile Parkway to increase interconnectivity in the area.

Both council members Steve Volan and Isabel Piedmont-Smith asked about pedestrian infrastructure.

Although Cockerill assured them pedestrian infrastructure was being developed along the new street, public commenter Greg Alexander thought otherwise.

“We don’t have a sidewalk network,” Alexander said.

“You guys haven’t put the money toward it.”

The council voted unanimously to approve the ordinance.

City of Bloomington Utilities director Vic Kelson presented the 2019 sewer rate review, a formal report on the

Director of Utilities Vic Nelson speaks during a city council meeting Sept. 11 at City Hall. “We’re looking at an outstanding debt in the sewage works,” he said.

state of the city’s sewers. In 2016, the review led to a 22% increase in charges for the sewer works. Kelson said it covered inflation, plant modernization and capacity improvement.

He says the modernization projects will help significant improvements in efficiency and reduce the department’s carbon footprint.

Jennifer Wilson, a representative from the Indianapolis-based accounting firm Crowe LLP, gave a report on how CBU is planning on fund-

ing the city’s $75 million capital improvement plan over the next few years, including bonds, the cash balance they have built up over the past few years and the rate increases for using the sewer system both inside and outside the city limits.

The CBU proposed a 15% rate increase for customers living outside the city limits and a 3% increase for customers in the city limits.

“The charges reflect the differences in providing the service to two different classes

of customers,” Kelson said.

For costs outside the city, the difference between the old and new rates with a surcharge is less than $10.

“You’re taking pipes outside of the city that CBU is responsible for, and we’re going outside the city limits,” council member Dorothy Granger said. “The surcharge is the cost for those services.”

Most council members agreed with the proposal.

“When we vote for these increases, I pay these increases, too,” council member

Jim Sims said. “Water source infrastructure just has to be done, so I will be supporting this.”

Citizens speaking during public comment did not support the proposal.

“It’s a thing a law allows you to do, but there are a lot of bad laws in the state, and this may be one of them,” county resident Gary Arbeiter said.

The council voted 7 in favor. Council member Chris Sturbaum passed his vote.

The next ordinance covered cutting fees related to the

sewer system rather than raising them.

Assistant city attorney Christopher Wheeler spoke on an ordinance proposing waiving the connection fee when beginning to use the city’s sewer system.

“I think this is a fantastic idea,” council member Dave Rollo said. “For low income residents, it’s very important.”

One group that would be allowed to use the waivers is property owners within the city limits who want to abandon septic systems to connect to the sewer system.

“We believe that with a properly functioning septic system, you have to rely upon each individual property owner to maintain it and let them determine when to abandon it,” Wheeler said.

“We want to provide incentive to connect to the sewer system by waiving the connection fee.”

People living in affordable housing for single families, for whom the connection fee can be almost $3,000, would also qualify. Lindsay Brown, a resident in the BroadView neighborhood, described the hardships the fee put her through.

“Myself and other people in the neighborhood can not afford this fee of $2,800,” Brown said. “It would be very helpful to have this waiver in place.”

The ordinance was passed unanimously.

Saudi supply disruption puts US petroleum stash in play Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is standing by to deploy the nation’s emergency oil reserves and help stabilize markets if needed after a series of drone attacks in Saudi Arabia knocked out half of the kingdom’s crude output, or about 5% of world supplies.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry is ready to draw down stocks from the 630 million-

barrel cache “to offset any disruptions to oil markets as a result of this act of aggression,” his spokeswoman, Shaylyn Hynes, said in a statement late Saturday. Perry also ordered officials to work with the International Energy Agency on possible options for coordinated action.

Whether the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the world’s largest supply of emergency crude, gets used may depend on how quickly the Saudis

can resume production from the world’s biggest crudeprocessing facility.

Set up after the Arab oil embargo in the 1970s sent prices skyrocketing, the stockpile has previously been tapped in response to Operation Desert Storm in 1991, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and Libyan supply disruptions in 2011.

“Until a damage assessment is available, it’s not possible to make high confi-

dence odds on the likelihood it will be tapped,” said Bob McNally, a former energy adviser to President George W. Bush and president of the consulting firm Rapidan Energy Group. “For now, the administration is reassuring the market that the U.S. and other emergency stockholding partners in the IEA are ready to act.”

McNally said showing openness to an SPR release would have an impact.

“I suspect this is just precautionary verbal reassurance, and I am sure they are dusting off their plans,” he said. “Unless the damage is extensive, doubt we will see a release.”

Saturday’s attacks on Saudi Arabia are expected to rattle oil markets when they open.

The kingdom’s benchmark stock index tumbled as much as 3.1% on Sunday in Riyadh.

“Almost no geopolitical risk is priced into oil markets

focused solely on trade wars and macro concerns,” said Joe McMonigle, senior energy analyst at Hedgeye Risk Management LLC. “An SPR release, especially if coordinated with IEA action, would mitigate some of the spike in oil prices but would also depend on the ongoing and elevated geopolitical risk.”

Solid gold toilet stolen in UK

Tropical storm speeds up as it heads north

From Tribune News Service

LONDON – A solid gold toilet valued at 4.8 million pounds ($6 million) has been stolen from Britain’s Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of former British prime minister Winston Churchill.

The working toilet, titled “America,” was on display as part of an exhibition by the Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan and was meant to be used by visitors.

“We can confirm ‘America,’ the art piece by Maurizio Cattelan has been stolen in the early hours of this morning. We are saddened by the extraordinary event, but also relieved that no one was hurt,” the palace tweeted on Saturday.

The 18th-century estate said it was “a great shame” that the art work, a solid gold, fully functioning toilet, had been stolen only two days after the exhibition opened.

Officers were called to the scene in Oxfordshire, England in the early hours of the morning after receiving reports of a burglary at the palace, the Thames Valley Police said. A 66-yearold man has been arrested, they said.

“Due to the toilet being plumbed in to the building, this has caused significant damage and flooding,” Jess Milne, the officer overseeing the investigation, said.

“We believe a group (of ) offenders used at least two vehicles during the offense,” Milne continued.

One month before the opening of the exhibition,

A fully-working solid gold toilet, created by artist Maurizio Cattelan, is seen Sept. 12 at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, England. The toilet is valued at $6 million and has been stolen from Britain’s Blenheim Palace.

Edward Spencer-Churchill, the half brother of the Duke of Marlborough, who owns the palace, said the toilet would not be “the easiest thing to nick,” the Press Association reported, citing the Times newspaper.

“Firstly, it’s plumbed in and secondly, a potential thief will have no idea who last used the toilet or what they ate. So no, I don’t plan to be guarding it,” SpencerChurchill was quoted further.

Palace chief executive Dominic Hare said the work is valued at about $6 million. Earlier reports put that number at around $1 million.

ORLANDO – Tropical Storm Humberto began its trek north on Saturday, keeping it well off Florida’s coast and allowing the state to dodge another bullet.

As of 5 p.m. EDT, the National Hurricane Center puts the system about 70 miles north of Great Abaco Island and 105 miles northeast of Freeport on Grand Bahama, and moving north-northwest at 7 mph, but expected to stay well away from Florida this weekend. Sustained winds were 50 mph.

“Tropical Storm Humberto continues to move away from the northern Bahama Islands,” said Fox 35 meteorologist Brooks Tomlin. “Humberto is forecast to remain well east of Florida tomorrow, then turn eastnortheasterly late tomorrow into Monday, moving towards the open Atlantic Ocean. Locally, we’ll remain windy, with squally rain showers passing by on Sunday. Our biggest risk will likely be the enhanced seas, swells and rip currents at our Atlantic beaches through the middle of next week.”

Tropical storm-force winds extend out 140 miles, and it’s expected to pass close to the northwestern Bahamas Saturday, which are still recovering from the devastating effects of Hurricane Dorian. The NHC said

Hare told the PA news agency that the palace has “a very sophisticated security operation” and there had never before been such a breach.

Until 2017, the 18-carat golden toilet was on display at the Guggenheim in New York, where it was available “for all to use in the privacy of one of the Guggenheim’s single-stall, gender-neutral bathrooms,” the Guggenheim wrote on its website.

The toilet, which is seen as a critique of excessive wealth and the obsession with luxury, has been connected to U.S. President Donald Trump, who the museum says has become

Since its release, it has gathered over 1,100 signatures. During her speech, Luketa said the coalition is planning to bring this petition to university officials as well as the IU Graduate and Professional Student Government.

IU ranks eighth out of 14 Big Ten schools in graduate student fees. IU fees are among the highest in proportion to the minimum graduate worker salary, coming second only to University of Nebraska, according to a graph shown during the town hall.

“We appreciate the concerns that the graduate student group is raising,” said IU spokesman Chuck Carney.

The company disagrees with banning menthol and mint flavor and argues that if their company goal is to help smokers quit, they should offer alternatives for those who smoke flavored cigarettes.

The CDC and FDA have been investigating the epidemic but haven’t found a definitive cause. As of Wednesday, there are 380 confirmed cases of lung illness associated with the use of the various vaping products.

Both Harrison and Fall believe the deaths aren’t being caused by legal vaping products, but by illegally obtained THC cartridges that can be used in a vaping device.

The CDC is currently investigating the cause of the health issues, but recommends no one start vaping, unless it’s to quit cigarettes.

OOF.

No. 6 Ohio State handed IU football its first loss of the season Saturday.

MATT BEGALA | IDS

Fifth-year wide reciever Nick Westbrook fumbles a pass attempt in the endzone during IU's game against Ohio State on Sept. 14 at Memorial Stadium. Ohio State defeated IU, 51-10.

By William Coleman wicolema@iu.edu | @WColeman08

Breaking trends can be difficult, especially when they are more than 30 years in the making.

Not only would a win Saturday over No. 6 Ohio State have been IU’s first since 1988, it also would have been the school’s first victory over a top-10 opponent since 1987.

Instead the Hoosiers were met with defeat. The Buckeyes rolled to a 51-10 win.

“We just didn’t execute to our standard that we created for ourselves,” fifth year linebacker Reakwon Jones said.

“Lot of people are disappointed. Just make sure people come back Monday with the right attitude, the right mindset.”

Redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr. sat out with an undisclosed injury after experiencing discomfort in practice this week. Junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey, who started all 12 games last year, trotted out with the firstteam offense in his place.

Ramsey played well in a 49-26 loss at Ohio State last season, throwing for three touchdowns, over 300 yards and no interceptions. Saturday, however, was a much different story. Playing in front of a home crowd and being a year older didn’t help Ramsey when IU needed it most.

The Hoosiers played the Buckeyes closely deep into the second and third quarters the last two meetings but had not nearly as much to show for Saturday. IU’s defense earned a few stops early, including a missed field goal on Ohio State’s first drive, but ultimately allowed the opposing offense to go to work.

Sophomore quarterback Justin Fields ran for a touchdown and threw two in the first half before a safety and junior running back J.K. Dobbins rushing score brought Ohio State’s score total to 30.

Just before halftime, fifth year

receiver Donavan Hale caught a screen and threw over the defense for a 49-yard touchdown to sophomore tight end Peyton Hendershot, closing the gap to 30-10.

The Buckeyes tacked on two more offensive touchdowns and continued to get stops on defense. With a 4410 lead, Ohio State let up a little bit and allowed Ramsey to go on a long drive. On the last play of the third quarter, the quarterback was picked off in front of the goal line by senior cornerback Damon Arnette, who returned it 96 yards for another Ohio State touchdown.

The Hoosier defense stood its ground at first and covered the field well before the Buckeyes made some crucial in-game adjustments. Fields and Dobbins, Ohio State’s two most lethal playmakers, combined for over 400 total yards and six touchdowns. Dobbins finished the afternoon with 207 total yards and a number of broken tackles.

“A lot of times it’s getting into position,” IU head coach Tom Allen said. “If you’re not in the right position against an elite running back like they have, then that’s usually what happens.”

With six minutes to go in the game, IU forced a fumble and pounced on it in Ohio State territory. Allen sent out freshman quarterback Jack Tuttle to take Ramsey’s place in the huddle. The quarterback transfer completed one of two passes and put together no scoring drives.

For Allen, he's dissapointed in the loss but he's looking at the big picture with at least eight games remaining.

“The team that we just played, there are about eight teams in the country that look like those guys do," Allen said.

"The fight and the eternal fire that you have that makes you keep going, it never stops, it never changes, it never goes away. If you want to be special, you’ve got to have grit.”

New old quarterback, same old result for IU football in loss to Ohio State

By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff

This Wednesday, leading into IU football’s Big Ten opener against No. 6 Ohio State, speculation started swirling that redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr. would not be playing due to injury.

When IU head coach Tom Allen addressed the media Thursday, he announced that Penix would be a game-time decision with an undisclosed injury and that junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey would be in line to take his place.

As the Hoosiers warmed up before the game, Penix was fully dressed but didn’t participate in any throwing drills and took snaps with the backups. Ramsey would be taking over the offense.

“I always prepare like I’m going to go out and be the guy,” Ramsey said. “I prepped all week like I was going to be the guy and just found out whenever [coach] told me. That’s kind of the end of the story there.”

As the starter last year against the Buckeyes, Ramsey played well, throwing for 322 yards and three touchdowns, even as IU fell 49-26.

This time around, Ramsey was not as sharp against Ohio State.

From the opening whistle, Ramsey and the IU offense looked out of sync.

Ramsey started the game one-for-three passing for negative-three yards, and it took the Hoosiers until their third drive to muster a play for positive yards when Ramsey found junior receiver Whop Philyor on a crossing route for six yards.

Ramsey would continue to struggle for the remainder of the game, completing only 19-of-33 passes for 162 yards and an interception.

MATT BEGALA | IDS

Redshirt junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey dives for yards during IU's game against Ohio State University on Sept. 14 at Memorial Stadium. Ohio State defeated IU, 51-10.

In fact, the only IU touchdown came on a trick play in which fifth-year receiver Donavan Hale found sophomore tight end Peyton Hendershot wide open for a 49-yard touchdown.

A big reason for Ramsey’s struggles was the constant pressure he faced from the Ohio State defense. The Hoosiers weren’t able to keep the Ohio State rush at bay as they allowed five sacks and consistently got into the backfield with 12 tackles for loss.

“He did what we asked him to do, but the bottom line is we have to protect him better,” Allen said. “It just felt like he didn’t have a lot of time to function effectively.”

As a result of the unrelenting pass rush and Ramsey’s lack of downfield passing, IU was forced to adopt more of a dink-anddump offense, a much different style than the explo-

sive passing attack with Penix at the helm.

“You need to be able to create some of those chunk plays against these teams,” Allen said. “You’re not going to be able to systematically just move the chains 75-80 yards against this kind of a team. You need those chunk plays to create momentum.”

Ramsey being forced into action served as a reminder of the differences between this year’s Hoosier offense and last year's.

With Penix at the helm this season, IU was able to consistently put pressure on the defense with the threat of the deep ball.

With Ramsey under center, Ohio State stacked the box, often only having one defender beyond five yards from the line-ofscrimmage, daring Ramsey to throw the ball over them.

With Penix’s availability for next week’s game

“He did what we asked him to do, but the bottom line is we have to protect him better. It just felt like he didn’t have a lot of time to function effectively.”

Tom Allen, IU football head coach

against the University of Connecticut up in the air, IU will try to figure out the necessary adjustments to make its performance against Ohio State an anomaly and not the norm going forward.

“You have to have that fight,” Allen said. “There’s going to be all these arrows and all these things that come at you, but you’re not deterred and you don’t let that stuff sidetrack you. You go back and you honestly evaluate, and you make the changes when you need to.”

“The team that we just played, there are about eight teams in the country that look like those guys do.

The fight and the eternal fire that you have that makes you keep going, it never stops, it never changes, it never goes away.

If you want to be special, you’ve got to have grit.”

MEN’S SOCCER

SAM HOUSE | IDS

Redshirt junior Spencer Glass dribbles past a pair of DePaul defenders Aug. 24 at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Last weekend the No. 4 IU men’s soccer squad battled against Seattle University.

Three things to know before top-10 clash

By Sam Bodnar Sbodnar@iu.edu | @sgbod13

On the heels of its first defensive shutout against Seattle University last weekend, the No. 4 IU men’s soccer squad will look to keep No. 10 University of Notre Dame scoreless for the third consecutive year at home.

The Hoosiers defeated the Fighting Irish 1-0 in each of their two previous games at Jerry Yeagley Field. With both teams boasting undefeated records, IU needs these ingredients for Tuesday’s game: 1. Goals!

Half the battle is scoring and IU was unsuccessful in its attempts against Seattle on Sept. 8.

Only one of IU’s eight shots threatened Seattle’s defense and sophomore goalkeeper, Akili Kasim. IU was silenced offensively for the first time in seven games, including preseason.

“We had a couple great runs with a couple of decisions that were a little off and that’s the fatigue factor that sets in over a long weekend,” IU head coach Todd Yeagley said. “We rushed a few threevs-two’s where we took a shot from too far and rushed the timing of a sequence.”

The Hoosiers created enough opportunities for shots on goal and had chances to go ahead.

Despite the zero on the scoreboard, Yeagley said the in-state rivalry game will be a

different match.

2. Shut down Notre Dame’s Jack Lynn The sophomore forward has scored in all three games for the Fighting Irish this season. He kicked Notre Dame’s only goal in a 1-0 win against the University of Denver, and he often strikes in the first half.

Aside from last week’s tie against Seattle, IU struggles on first-half defense and needs all eyes on Lynn moving into Tuesday.

“Jack has been really good in scoring key goals, he had a great one against us last year so we gotta keep him in check,” Yeagley said. “We’ll have to be locked in for the entire match and limit the

high quality chances.”

The Fighting Irish are outscoring the Hoosiers by just one goal this season. Although these rivals are nearly neck and neck, Yeagley wants IU on high alert.

“Notre Dame is a good attacking team,” Yeagley said.

“They have individuals that can beat you off the dribble, counter quickly, score from distance, they can win in different ways.”

3. Maintaining Fresh Legs Going above 90 minutes and running drills in 90-degree heat puts a major strain on Yeagley’s team. As the season progresses and the minutes add up, IU will rely on its bench to keep the team in the game.

Freshman forwards Victor Bezerra and Herbert Endeley are bringing high energy from the bench and creating solid shot opportunities. While the freshman duo push the ball into enemy territory, junior forward Ian Black and freshman forward Joshua Penn can recharge.

Bezerra and Endeley along with another freshman duo of defender Daniel Munie and forward Maouloune Goumballe, fulfill valuable roles for the team despite the difficulty of having less minutes, According to Yeagle .

“These freshmen have grown up in the sense that they now know that their role may not be 90 minutes, it might have to be 20, and that’s not easy,” said Yeagley.

On the defensive end, the man who truly needs fresh legs is senior goalkeeper Sean Caulfield.

In an interview with Hoosier Network, Black called Caulfield the grandpa of the team. After acknowledging the wear and tear of four consecutive overtime games, IU’s goalkeeper humbly accepted the title.

“The way they are putting us into overtime like this, I may have some gray hairs by the end of the season,” Caulfield said.

Tuesday’s game begins at 7 p.m. and if audiences are wondering about the potential of a fifth straight overtime, Yeagley has an answer.

“Odds are, maybe,” he said.

Sixth season gives graduate Sparrow one more chance

If you look at the IU men’s golf roster, the depth of the roster is evident. There’s two freshmen and two sophomores. There’s three juniors and two seniors. And then there’s Jack Sparrow. His listed year? Graduate.

Sparrow joined the IU golf team out of Floyds Knobs, Indiana in the 2014-15 season.

He’s returning this season for his sixth year.

He went into last season with Jake Brown ready to help lead the team in what was both of their senior seasons.

“We redshirted together freshman year and we were excited about playing our fifth year together,” Sparrow said.

Brown finished the season strong, ending his career with the seventh best average score

in IU history. Sparrow played for a week before his season ended. During the second tournament of the season last year, Sparrow was hitting out of the thick rough when he tore the triangular fibrocartilage complex in his wrist. The injury ended his season and threw doubt on the future of his already extended golf career. Since Sparrow had redshirted his freshman year, his senior year was the final year of his five-year clock.

According to the NCAA rules, an athlete has five years to play four seasons of his sport. These five years begin as soon as the athlete enrolls in school and do not stop.

When these five years are up, the athlete’s eligibility is up.

However, there are exceptions, including one that Sparrow and his coaches thought would grant Sparrow an ad-

ditional year. Sparrow talked to his doctors, then wrote the NCAA, applying for a clock extension. It was granted, allowing Sparrow to return for a sixth year of eligibility.

Sparrow knew he wasn’t ready to stop playing, so he made the decision to come back knowing the level of talent and skill this IU team has.

“Having that injury is obviously unexpected, but I’m gonna make the most out of another year and do what I can with it,” Sparrow said.

Another year at IU does include taking more classes.

Sparrow graduated last year, but in order to continue playing for the school, he has to be enrolled in the school. He said he’s not working toward a graduate degree right now, and is taking classes for the time being.

being able to play, the clock extension provides Sparrow with the opportunity to step up as the leader of the team for another year. Sparrow is in his second year as team captain.

“It’s a great situation to have Jack back for a sixth year,” IU men’s golf coach Mike Mayer said. “We need that kind of leadership and he brings a lot to the table.”

Sparrow is tasked with leading a group with various levels of experience. Mayer said Sparrow and senior Brock Ochsenreiter are both going to play pivotal roles on the team, and sophomore Mitch Davis is challenging for the number one spot. That depth creates strong competition up and down the roster.

“You wanna play against the best players you can,” Mayer said. “The better your

team is the better your players are going to be.”

Sparrow notes that being around for this long allows him to use what he has learned over the last five years to guide the team and make them better.

The last individual berth came in 2018, when Brown

narrowly missed making it to the finals.

A postseason berth for IU would bring the first team berth since 2008.

“Our first goal is to make postseason,” Sparrow said.

“It’s the obvious goal, but with this team I think we can do more.”

SOME GROSS TAKES

Ohio State exposed IU football quarterback Peyton Ramsey's fatal flaw Jack Grossman is a senior in sports media.

Early in the second quarter, the Hoosiers were already struggling. IU football was down 14-3 to No. 6 Ohio State and had the ball on their own 18 yard line facing a 3rd and 15. Not ideal.

However, junior receiver Whop Philyor beat Ohio State sophomore cornerback Shaun Wade to create space on a wheel route.

All that was left to complete the big play was a decent pass from junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey. But instead, Ramsey severely under threw Philyor, forcing the Hoosiers to punt.

The punt was blocked by the Buckeyes and went out of the back of the endzone for a safety.

“We had the chance right before the blocked punt and just needed to get that completion,” IU head coach Tom Allen said. “It was just kind of a critical missed opportunity with the deep ball that I thought really could have changed with how the game felt at that point.”

The two play sequence defined IU’s 51-10 blowout loss to Ohio State.

Instead of a huge gain or possibly a touchdown to pull the Hoosiers within four points with the Buckeyes, Ohio State used the momentum to score a quick touchdown after the safety to open up a commanding 23-3 lead, and would never look back.

Yes. A lot went wrong for IU against Ohio State.

Ohio State had 528 yards offense, including 314 on the ground. Junior running back J.K. Dobbins ran through Hoosier defenders like they were grade schoolers, rushing for 193 yards and a touchdown, along with catching another score.

The Hoosier run game

was nonexistent. IU put up a total of nine rushing yards in the first 30 minutes of the game, and only finished with 42 total rushing yards on the day.

But while Saturday’s loss cannot be pinned on one specific player, it became clear early and often throughout the day that if IU is going to have a successful season, Ramsey can’t be the man taking first team offensive snaps.

Ramsey does have some positives at quarterback.

He is extremely accurate on

short throws, is mobile and has a lot of experience. But Ramsey’s inability to throw the ball down field was exposed as a fatal flaw against the Buckeyes.

With Ramsey running the offense, Ohio State recognized the Ohio native’s weakness and took full advantage.

The Buckeyes routinely loaded the box to take sophomore running back Stevie Scott effectively out of the ball game and played press coverage against IU receivers to eliminate the short,

quick hitting passing game that Ramsey excels in.

On a majority of plays, Ohio State would have ten of their eleven defenders within five yards of the line of scrimmage. On a handful of other snaps, the Bucks would cram all eleven defenders near the neutral zone, just begging for the Hoosiers to complete a downfield pass.

To Ramsey and offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer’s credit, they did at least try to take advantage of the extremely tight coverage.

IU tried on various occasions to throw the ball down the field, but most either ended up under thrown, like the 3rd down pass to Philyor, or thrown late, such as Ramsey’s pick six on the last play of the third quarter.

“You need to be able to create some of those chunk plays against this kind of a team,” Allen said. “You’re not going to be able to just move the chains for 75-80 yards. We need to get those chunk plays to be able to create that momentum and also get down the field better.”

Penix missed Saturday’s game with an undisclosed injury, and Allen said postgame that he does not believe Penix will be out long term, and that the injury will be monitored on a week by week basis.

But if the Hoosiers are hoping to make it to a bowl game, they will need Penix to steer clear of any setbacks—as well as avoid another injury—and play better than Ramsey did today whenever he returns. jegrossm@iu.edu

HEAR ME OUT...

After Andrew Luck’s retirement, the AFC South is a wide open NFL division Tristan Jackson is a sophomore in journalism.

Before Andrew Luck’s retirement, the Indianapolis Colts looked like the clear favorite to represent the AFC South in the NFL playoffs and possibly make a deep run.

Now the division has no clear frontrunner, nor do they have a definitive worst.

This Colts roster top to bottom is probably one of the best they’ve had in recent memory. With Deon Cain’s return and the additions of Devin Funchess and Parris Campbell, their receiving core looks rejuvenated and ready to take some weight off the shoulders of T.Y. Hilton.

Their run game looked very good to start off the season, with running back Marlon Mack leading the NFL in rushing yards week one with 174 yards. Mack is not a highprofile name in the league, but behind Indy’s stout offensive line, a few more performances like that wouldn’t be shocking. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s ability to lead this offense is a huge question mark at this point, but he

did perform well in week one.

The Colts will look to build off a disappointing lose to the Chargers in overtime to kick off the season.

The Houston Texans are another team in the division who had a crushing loss in week one, watching a 58-yard

field goal pass through the uprights as time expired.

The Texans have easily the best quarterback in the division in Deshaun Watson now that Luck is gone, but whether or not their lackluster offensive line can keep him healthy and protected will be a big

concern for them going forward.

Deandre Hopkins is a top 5 receiver in the league without question, but after him, their pass catchers are less than impressive. Running backs Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson are a nice one-two punch

out of the backfield, but only time will tell if this offense has enough weapons to compete.

The Tennessee Titans oddly enough were the only team out of the AFC South to pick up a win in week one. Against what was supposed to be a very high powered Browns offense, the Titans only gave up 13 points and forced quarterback Baker Mayfield into three picks.

Quarterback Marcus Mariota didn’t blow anyone out of the water in week one, but if he can continue to have solid performances, it looks like he’ll be able to rely on his defense to get them some wins.

Running back Derrick Henry is a very solid workhorse out of the backfield, and it’s likely that the Titans offense is going to go as he does this season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are already in a tough spot just as the season is getting started. In the first half, newly acquired quarterback and former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles broke his left collarbone and is slated to miss some significant time.

In comes rookie Gardner Minshew, who would go on to finish with an 88% completion percentage in his first NFL action. Foles going down is obviously not ideal, but it looks as though Minshew should be able to keep the ship afloat.

The Jags gave up 40 points in week one, but that isn’t too bad against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jacksonville has recently been full of defensive talent and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon.

If I had to pick, the Colts would still be my favorite to win the division even without Luck. The Texans have the most star power but their playoff chances are based on if they are able to keep those stars protected.

The Titans looked really good week one, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re able to slip into a wild card spot. The Jaguars will look for their defense to win them some games while their quarterback is out.

The beauty of the AFC South right now is that any team could win the division. tripjack@iu.edu

JAC’S FACTS

BASSETT BANTER

Society turns black men away from gymnastics and cheerleading

Lack of logic shown

by Bolton’s removal

Jaclyn Ferguson is a junior in journalism.

Sept. 23, 1969, at 3:30 p.m. A Tuesday.

An oddly specific but exceptionally important day and time for then-11-yearearold Ron Galimore. It was the day of his first gymnastics tics class.

“It was a very big day, and I was so excited,” Galialimore said.

An accomplished gymymnast, Galimore received ved the first perfect 10 in NCAA CAA gymnastics championship hip history, was the first African can American member of a U.S. Gymnastics Olympic team am and an NCAA champion n— to name a few of his many any accomplishments.

Although there have ave been some standouts outs throughout history, and numbers seem to be on the rise, black men are highly ghly underrepresented in gymymnastics. This is largely a result of minimal accessibility ility to the sports and hypermasmasculinization of black men. n.

As a young boy who loved to flip around the house and bounce on tramampolines, Galimore had no idea he would make history. ory.

His mother signed him up for gymnastics classes so he could learn how to jump mp around the house without out hurting himself.

Unbeknownst to her, the class would do much uch more than prevent her son from hitting his head a little ttle too hard. He would soon oon become a trailblazer in the gymnastics world.

After outgrowing the coaching of his early gymymnastics program, Galimore ore moved to Fort Lauderdale dale with his mother and sister ster so he could have more comompetitive training by a former mer Olympic team member.

Galimore recognizes he was very lucky in having an opportunity to be exposed sed to gymnastics at a young ung age. He said he believes ves black athletes are often exposed at a basic level, butt as training increases, so do the prices, leading many athletes to leave the sport.

“There are very talented ted athletes who are not exposed to it because of affordability,” Galimore said. d.

He believes accessibility ility

can be improved through grants and scholarships, offering more affordable programs and transportation to athletes. Often, lessons are offered further from innercity areas.

Although often underrecognized, Galimore said he believes supplying adequate transportation to athletes will increase the number of black gymnasts.

The overarching issue is having substantial accessibility to sports other than football and basketball.

Think about it — have you ever seen a gymnastics facility in the hood?

According to a 2015 National Center for Health Statistics study, black boys had a higher percentage of participation in football and basketball than white boys. Football was higher by roughly 2%, and basketball by 20%.

Gymnastics was not on the survey.

The sports represented showed less creativity and expression and more tackling and touchdowns. touchdowns.

If you think about it from a general standpoint, it makes sense. sense.

From a young age, children of families with lower incomes are unable to gain exposure to different athletic opportunities.

A RAND Corporation survey found that 52% of parents from lower-income families had children in grades 6-12 who participated in sports. This is 14% lower than middle- and higher-income families.

According to a survey

by USA Gymnastics, competitive classes for gymnasts cost $150-$300 per month. That number accounts for classes only and does not include additional fees such as travel and equipment.

Galimore believes he was lucky to have had professional training at a young age and eventually became able to perform at a college level. level.

While in college, Gali-

more quickly noticed he was the only black person performing at such a high level.

Being what he describes as a focused individual, he kept his mind on the sport, opposed to the politics.

“I took it in stride and wanted to be an example for others,” he said.

Galimore earned a spot on the 1980 Olympic team.

That also happened the be the year Jimmy Carter decided to boycott the Olympics due to the invasion of Russia into Afghanistan.

Leading up to the trials, there was conversation on a possible boycott. boycott.

“All you could do was focus on what you had control over,” he said.

The decision came out prior to the Olympic trials, but it did not immediately crush him. Galimore celebrated and was proud to placed fourth out of the sixmember team. team.

While in Washington, D.C., celebrating with athletes and celebrities alike, the feeling finally settled in that he was unable to compete.

“It was one of the most depressing things,” he said.

“That’s when it hit me how big of an opportunity was taken from me.”

It took him five years to get out of that slump.

Galimore said he believes the number of black male gymnasts is on the rise, and he wants to believe that some exposure was gained through him making the Olympic team. This future of black men in gymnastics excites him. him.

One black Indiana University student, like Galimore, is ignoring expectations and participating in a similar sport: cheerleading. ing.

Davon Graham played for a top tennis program in high school and had no idea he would end up in cheerleading.

While a student at Miami University, Graham was intrigued by cheer routines during football games. His friends encouraged him to try out

for the cheerleading team.

“They just wanted me to go for it,” he said.

The exercise sciences and clinical psychological science major says he picked up the skills relatively quickly.

“I kind of fell in love with it,” he said.

After his freshman year, Graham decided to transfer to IU and try out for the cheerleading team. Despite the nerves that naturally come with trying out for a Big Ten D1 school, he made the team.

Being a black man, deciding to be a cheerleader was not an easy decision.

He said he believes society tells black men they can’t do anything that is viewed as feminine. The black community often holds black men to a standard of being emotionless and overly masculine.

From both inside and outside the community, black men are stereotypically expected to have a tough interior and exterior.

“Before I tried out for the team, I told myself I am going to have to put my pride aside,” Graham said.

Once while leaving a fraternity house with teammates, someone yelled an offensive slur at them. Graham instantly became uncomfortable. Children have told him that cheerleading is “what girls do.”

Graham says he is getting to a point where the comments don’t really matter.

He loves the sport and loves the life it has given him.

He said he just wishes other black men can realize they too can do seemingly impossible routines in front of a crowd of passionate sports fans.

They too, can be a member of an Olympic team and maybe even score a perfect 10.

They too, can follow their dreams and ignore societal expectations.

But only if they are given the chance.

in your body, even if it is objectively harmful. Decriminalization is a major step for drug reform, but it is only one piece of the puzzle.

Decriminalization protects users from criminal offenses, but it still does not protect them with regard to the safety of the substances they are consuming.

The U.S. needs to fund a nationwide evidence-based drug education campaign which does not endorse the use of drugs, but explains the safety risks of substances and how to consume them safely if one chooses to do so.

Coupled with education, large amounts of funding must go toward research into the effects of illicit substances on the body and the safest way to transition to a legal, highly regulated, taxed marketplace. Pushing drug sales underground is incredibly unsafe for drug users and gives rise to powerful criminal drug syndicates.

The government needs to provide people with free drug purity testing and needle exchange programs and should help identify the root causes of drug addiction.

Preventing all drug use is impossible. As people have always used drugs, and they always will. The job of the government should be to help those who need it and not lock users up and throw away the key.

It’s no state secret that no one is safe in the White House.

John Bolton, former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, learned that the hard way Tuesday, as Trump accepted his letter of resignation, ending his tenure as national security adviser.

While it’s generally accepted that presidential staff and advisers serve at the pleasure of the president, it’s also custom that presidential advisers serve as “honest brokers.”

Trump’s firing of Bolton reveals the flawed logic Trump uses to lead his White House, underscoring his inefficacy when it comes to making national security decisions.

Stephen J. Hadley, the former national security adviser to President George W. Bush, argued in an address at the 2016 Scowcroft Legacy Conference that honest brokers must be capable at “running a fair and transparent process for bringing issues to the president for decision. It means maintaining a ‘level playing field’ in which ideas and views can compete with one another on an equal basis, without ‘stacking the deck’ in favor of one or another approach”.

Trump’s removal of Bolton from the White House seems to defy Hadley’s case supporting honest brokerage, as Trump indicated via Twitter that he “disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions as did others in the Administration.”

Trump’s request for Bolton’s resignation was publicly rooted in disagreements along policy lines between the two.

This highlighted Trump’s lack of appreciation and respect for diversity in thought, an essential facet of effective leadership and decision-making.

Through Bolton’s departure, it is clear that presidential advisers in the Trump White House serve only to advance the interests of the president, not the interests of the country in the name of national security. Trump’s flawed logic of removing advisers simply for advising highlights the instability of the administration and adds to the growing list of concerns regarding Trump’s ability to lead with a steady hand and clear mind.

This instance, however, is not the only demonstration of Trump’s flawed logic and irrational decision-making when it comes to hiring and firing.

Bolton’s removal just adds to the extensive list of White House outcasts who have either departed willingly or left under the request of the president.

Denise Lu and Karen Yourish of the New York Times note that Trump has set the record for highest turnover rate in the White House, which then adds a level of uncertainty and instability within the bureaucracy.

Removing department heads, exiling White House advisers and forcing out members of the Cabinet due to disagreements over policy drastically curtails the ability of the Oval Office to consider varying perspectives and stances on critical issues facing the nation, demonstrating the need for stability and structure within the walls of the White House.

Facing criticism is not a constitutional requirement to run for president in the United States. Taking criticism with an open mind, however, should be a skill that all presidents must possess. Trump’s removal of Bolton from the White House and his practice of exiling those who stand in disagreement with the president emphasizes the illogical nature of Trump’s leadership.

Our country needs stability and structure. Under Trump’s leadership, stability and structure are nowhere to be found.

JONAH’S JUSIFICATIONS

The way forward with US policy is to end drug prohibition Jonah Hyatt is a sophomore in political science and philosophy.

Contributing to “the new Jim Crow,” the war on drugs in the U.S. has been one of the country’s greatest missteps in recent history. Billions of dollars have been wasted and thousands of lives have been ruined simply for using a substance.

Not only has the war on drugs massively failed in curtailing drug usage, but it began with the racist intent of stigmatizing and criminalizing communities by the Nixon administration.

The U.S. needs to learn from other nations such as Portugal, Norway and the Czech Republic and view drug problems as public health issues instead of a criminal ones.

Three major drug reforms the U.S. should enact right now are to release all nonviolent drug offenders (as well as retroactively expunging all drug-related charges), federally legalize marijuana for recreational use and decriminalize all drugs.

Decriminalization is not the same as legalization. Under this system, the sale of drugs remains illegal while possession of a substance changes from a criminal offense to an administrative offense.

After Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001, possession of a substance may incur

a small fine or community service and a mandatory interview with a commission comprised of social workers, psychiatrists and attorneys in order to help the user receive potentially necessary rehabilitation.

People may think drug decriminalization would beget large spikes in usage and overdose rates, but this is actually not true. After Portugal decriminalized all drugs, the country saw usage and overdose rates decrease if not remain the same, as well as a massive decrease in drugrelated crime.

The emphasis of drug

laws in the U.S. needs to be evidence-based and led by experts on drug abuse and addiction.

Carl Hart is a professor of neuroscience and psychology at Columbia University, known for his research in substance addiction and abuse. In his TED talk, he stated: “80-90% of the people who use illegal drugs are not addicts; they don’t have a drug problem.”

The most groundbreaking research in drug addiction has to do with debunking the previous “anything for a hit” narrative.

In Hart’s research, he used

what he calls “attractive alternatives” to the substance, where he offered methamphetamine and crack cocaine addicts the opportunity to take a hit of the drug or accept cash. The users accepted the cash almost every time.

This is also consistent with the “rat park” experiments by professor Bruce K. Alexander that showed when alternatives to the drug are present, like a sexually receptive mate or a sweet treat, the subjects are much less likely to engage in substance abuse.

In a free society, the government should not have to right to dictate what you put

Strand of Oaks, Apex Manor play at the Bishop

By Grace Abushalback gabushal@iu.edu

Strand of Oaks and Apex Manor performed at 9:30 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Bishop.

Spirit of ‘68 and WFHB presented the concert, which ran from 9:30 p.m. to midnight with tickets prices at $18.

The tour manager, Brian Hexter, said the only con of his job was “little to no sleep” but insisted that his work pays off.

He sat near the back corner of the room to sell their merchandise as well as LPs and CDs to promote Strand of Oaks’s newest album "Eraserland".

Hexter described the band’s music as “spacey rock” and said the band members claim it is a combination of “Grateful Dead and Black Sabbath.” Sept. 26 is its last tour date.

As Apex Manor took the stage, the lead singer Ross Flournoy turned to the audience.

“It’s very bright up here," Flournoy said. "I can’t see any of you.”

Then the show started off strongly with loud electric guitar, deep bass and rhythmic drums.

The band is made up of three members: Ross Flournoy, lead singer and guitarist; Casey Toll, bassist; and Patrick Berkery, drummer.

Blue and red lights illuminated the faces of the band members as Apex Manor brought deep, powerful vocals.

Apex Manor was the opening act for the show, but not in the traditional sense.

“We are also playing in Strand of Oaks, so in a way, we’re opening for ourselves," Flournoy said.

Next, Strand of Oaks took the stage, with lead

singer and guitarist Timothy Showalter and keyboardist Max Somerville. The band’s set featured a heavy focus around groovy beats along with lyrics full of heartfelt nostalgia for Showalter’s coming of age in Indiana.

Cosmic, hypnotic sounds were juxtaposed with drum solos to showcase the band’s universality.

The crowd was commanded by long guitar solos and dizzying lyrics.

At one point in the show, Showalter said he had come down with something.

“I think I’ve got the Hyperspace Blues,” he play-

fully said in reference to his upcoming song.

The final song’s lyrics consisted of “I hope it never ends” which is some insight in to how the audience might have felt about their performance.
