Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, left, and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton participate in the third and final presidential debate at the University of Nevada Las Vegas on Wednesday.

DONALD TRUMP TRUE

HILLARY CLINTON

MOSTLY TRUE

MOSTLY FALSE

FALSE

SUPREME COURT “I’m very proud to have the endorsement of the NRA. It’s the earliest endorsement they’ve ever given to anybody who ran for president.

I’m very honored by all of that.”

The NRA endorsed Trump in May 2016. This is earlier than the two previous Republican nominees, John McCain and Mitt Romney, who both received their endorsements in October, a month before the general election.

“Because I support the second amendment doesn’t mean that I want people who shouldn’t have guns to be able to threaten you, kill you or members of your family. And so when I think about what we need to do, we have 33,000 people a year who die from guns.”

Ninety-one people per day are killed with guns, according to Everytown research. Therefore an average of 33,215 lives are lost due to gun violence every year.

IMMIGRATION “I have been for border security for years, and in the Senate, I voted for it.”

“Drugs are pouring in through the border.”

Many drugs come from Mexico, but a large amount also come from Afghanistan and other countries.

Hillary voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which authorized about 700 miles of fencing to be installed along the country’s southern border. It was the beginning of an attempt to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

ECONOMY “Through my program, I will create 25 million jobs, a 4 percent growth.”

“Donald’s plan has been analyzed to conclude it might lose jobs. Why? Because his whole plan is to give the biggest tax breaks ever to the wealthy.”

The Congressional Budget Office forecasts a rise of only 7 million in employment by 2026, according to the New York Times.

Trump’s proposal would deliver massive tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans and a relatively small amount to the poorest demographic, according to the advocacy group Citizens for Tax Justice.

School bus driver charged for child porn From IDS reports

Police charged Timothy Poteat, a bus driver for Monroe County Community School Corporation, with child exploitation Tuesday.

The the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children gave Bloomington police a tip Oct. 11 that Poteat, 43, possibly had electronic images of child pornography in his possession.

BPD Lt. Brad Seifers said this led to an investigation, and on Oct. 18, BPD executed a search warrant at Poteat’s house on Miller Drive. At the time of the search, Poteat was at work.

Police discovered several computers, external hard drives, thumb drives and phones in his residence.

Seifers said the evidence was enough to charge him with child exploitation, but police were still reviewing the information on the electronics. BPD have traced the electronic signature of the child pornography to Poteat’s residence.

FOREIGN HOT SPOTS “She gave us ISIS because her and Obama made this small vacuum,”

Dominick Jean

“Donald is implying that he did not support the invasion of Iraq. But he was.”

The rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria happened before Obama’s presidency and Clinton’s position as secretary of state.

Experts say people could blame both Bush and Obama.

There is no evidence Trump expressed public opposition to the war before the U.S. invaded. Rather, he offered lukewarm support.

The Republican nominee only began to voice doubts about the conflict well after it began in March 2003.

Jewish a cappella, Vocalosity perform tonight

By Brielle Saggese bsaggese@indiana.edu | @briellesaggese

As the home of one the most prestigious music schools, IU also houses several a cappella groups, each vying for its own slice of the campus’ attention. But tonight, that attention will all swing toward Hooshir, a mixed Jewish choir that won a city-wide competition for the chance to perform alongside Vocalosity at 7:30 p.m. in the IU Auditorium.

“The competition really motivated us more than scared us because when we had a goal to work toward, we really just got down to business,” Hooshir soprano and music director Becky Mann said. “At the end of the day, competition is good — it actually helps our sound and this is going to be our biggest show of the year.”

Vocalosity’s artistic director Deke Sharon is known for arranging music in the film “Pitch Perfect” and even as the “father of contemporary a cappella,” according to the group’s

website.

Vocalosity is currently on its tour Vocalosity: the Aca-Perfect Concert Experience with singers from Broadway, the Radio City Rockettes and NBC’s “The Sing Off.” At each of the tour’s stops, local a cappella groups can compete to earn the show’s coveted opening spot, according to the website.

Upon seeing a flyer advertising the competition, Mann said she arranged three pop songs into a mashup and submitted a YouTube video of the group singing it to enter. While Mann said the group often performs Hebrew or Israeli songs, this particular arrangement showcased the singers’ diverse skill set.

As the selected winner, Hooshir will get to open tonight’s concert, but Mann said the group is also excited to meet the Vocalosity performers.

“We have a lot of people who want to pursue music, whether it’s Broadway or the recording industry, so I think spending time with the

“It’s huge,” IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said, referring to

the team’s community outreach program. “It’s been a big mainstay of our program since I took over 10 years ago. It’s the community I grew up in, and I feel that it’s very important because sports give you a platform to do really positive things. We learn from it as much as the community does.”

Approaching the presidential election, Muslims have become a relevant swing group in deciding the future of the nation.

Middle Eastern relations, Islamophobia and inflammatory political rhetoric have spawned debates: What role does Islam have in America today?

Nader Hashemi, associate professor and director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Denver, sought to answer the question in the Indiana Memorial Union last night.

Hashemi explained how the Western perception of Islam arose through analysis of historical and political events to emphasize the need to combat Islamophobia and overcome religious discrimination.

“Democracy here in the United States is in deep crisis,” Hashemi said.

“The deeply polarizing acrimony that this country is experiencing is not going away. It’s in that context the Muslim question emerged.”

Sponsored by the IU Consortium for the Study of Religion, Ethics and Society, Hashemi’s talk “The 2016 U.S. Presidential Election and the Muslim Question” brought light to the history behind how Islam in the U.S. came to be the way it is.

Brian Steensland, director of social science research at IUPUI, said, “This is an inaugural event for what I believe is going to become a seminar for Islam and the public sphere.”

American Muslims are caught between a rock and a hard place today, Hashemi said. They’re worse off now than any time since 9/11.

Asian Cultural Center panel discusses identity

By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor

Despite the rain and loud thunderstorm in the background, about twenty students and IU faculty gathered in the living room of the Asian Culture Center to participate in a panel discussion at the ACC on Wednesday.

The discussion was based on the ideas presented in the Atlantic article “The Burden of Being Asian American on Campus.”

But the topics covered were not strictly about being Asian American at college and at IU, the conversation revolved largely around Asian and Asian American identity on campus.

Discussion facilitator and ACC program associate Sarah Stamey said they picked this topic because of current events and because it would provide fruitful discussion.

The discussion was mostly fast-paced, filled with participants’ personal stories and experiences on campus and within Bloomington as it related to their Asian American and Asian cultural identity.

While there was a moderator, panelists sophomore Joy Zhao and Malina Xiong, president of the Asian American

The Asian Cultural Center hosts a panel discussion about the burden of being an Asian-American on Wednesday at the Asian Cultural Center.

Association, provided insight into the topics, encouraging the audience to participate.

A hot topic was understanding Asian American student identity versus the Asian identity that international students have. For Xiong, she found it unimportant to differentiate that she is Asian American.

“I have no need to emphasize that I am Asian American,” she said.

But for many of the other discussion participants, they said it can be a struggle to identify who they are because how long they have or have not lived in the United States.

“I do agree we are all different, from different back-

grounds,” Zhao said. “It is more complicated for Asian Americans to realize who they are.”

Stamey also brought up the idea of being “too Asian to be American or too American to be Asian” and understanding how it affects developing one’s identity.

“It’s something relating to

what happened in the past,” Xiong said. “The mindset is stuck in the past. Generalizing isn’t right at all. Not all Asians are from the same country.”

The discussion of generalizations and micro-aggression toward Asians and Asian Americans on campus also came up.

Xiong said she has had

someone use a racial slur against her more than once.

One audience member brought up the idea that where many international Asian students come from, they are the majority race, and at IU they are a minority.

There is a dominant culture that these students have to put up with or adapt to, which can be an issue, she said.

This idea of new culture came up when the group also discussed the different cultures around IU’s campus with respect to both IU culture and American culture.

There was also passionate discussion on their respective stories of assimilation and experiences with U.S. culture.

“Why should you put up with people calling you things,” Stamley said in response to the discussion of racial slurs. “You should get to know them, talk to them.”

Possible solutions offered from the group to these various identity issues included moving international student orientation to the same time as other students orientation and offering mentoring between domestic and international students.

“Everybody should be more open-minded,” Xiong said.

Cultural groups respond to IUPD letter

By Emily Miles elmiles@iu.edu | @EmilyLenetta

Leaders of several campus religious and cultural groups expressed satisfaction with IU Police Department Capt.

Andy Stephenson’s Oct. 12 open letter which vows dedication to positive interactions with all citizens. However, the leaders say there is work yet to be done.

“No matter your race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, disability or socioeconomic status, the IUPD serves every member of our community fairly, equally, and without bias,” Stephenson said in the letter. “Nothing less will be tolerated.”

In this time of clear tension between police and communities, Stephenson said he wanted to reach out and start a dialogue.

“It wasn’t like I sat and thought about it for weeks,” Stephenson said. “It just came from my heart and how I feel.”

According to Doug Bauder, director of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Student Support Services Office, Stephenson and Chief Laury Flint met with culture center directors last week.

“I’m very much impressed with their efforts to serve all on the campus, but especially communities of color and the LGBTQ+ students,” Bauder said.

Monica Johnson, director of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, addressed Stephenson’s letter on the NMBCC Facebook page and website.

In her statement, Johnson outlined her collaborative interactions with IUPD, noted the department’s relative preparedness for serving a cross-cultural community, and spoke to the value of continued evaluation and education for full-time officers and those within the IU Police Academy.

However, she said in the post she doesn’t believe the

resources exist to know for sure that every member of the force always lives up to department standards.

Avoiding generalization was a theme among other group leaders, as well. Fariha Hossain, co-president of the Muslim Student Association, said IUPD has made efforts to reach out to the campus Muslim community, especially after the attack on a Muslim woman at Sofra Cafe last year.

Aatif Basher, vice president of the MSA, said IUPD also offered support last year when MSA planned an event in which they would pray in Dunn Meadow. Though weather caused a cancellation of the event, IUPD’s support remained.

However, Hossain and Basher agreed that some Muslim students may still hesitate to reach out to IUPD. “That is something we would like to work on and improve as soon as we can,” Basher said. “It is important for us that both sides have a

trusting relationship with one another.

Lillian Casillas, director of La Casa Latino Cultural Center, said she could not speak for the whole of the Latino community, but her personal interactions with IUPD have also been positive.

She said the department has been there for La Casa, with a friendly presence at the freshman retreat, increased patrolling after someone vandalized the center, and advice when staff felt worried about how to protect themselves.

The Police Academy has also played a role in Casillas’s perception of IUPD. Some students come from communities where they experienced violence, she said, and they attend the Police Academy to learn how to best serve those same communities.

“They want to be able to go back and help those who might have been in situations with them,” she said. “I see how it empowers students to then empower others.”

Supramolecule reshapes scientific theory

By Hussain Ather sather@umail.iu.edu | @SHussainAther

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and, with chemical molecules, a combination of smaller atoms can make something greater, too.

Researchers in the lab of Chemistry Professor Amar Flood Amar Flood created a supramolecule that makes scientists re-think fundamental laws of chemistry and might have practical applications for fighting pollution.

“This was not planned at all,” said Elisabeth Fatila, postdoctoral researcher in Flood’s lab, on the surprise of making the discovery.

Fatila made the supramolecule, a molecule formed by weak interactions between other atoms and molecules.

“This discovery could provide new ways for us to more

safely generate nuclear power by removing sulfate, which interferes with the storage of waste materials,” Flood said.

Though the molecule needs to be studied more thoroughly before seeing widespread commercial use, Flood said it could also provide ways to fight environmental pollution.

“We could also exploit the knowledge to make cheap and deployable sensors for phosphate in streams, rivers and lakes,” Flood said. “We imagine a future where citizen scientists could help monitor phosphate levels to alleviate environmental damage from over-fertilization and improve farming practices.”

This supramolecule would need some tinkering before use in nuclear waste systems because it is water-soluble, Fatila said, but the knowledge can help citizens develop useful molecules.

“We’ve gotten interest from people that deal with nuclear waste because that’s

the over arching idea that they’re interested in,” Fatila said.

The supramolecule relied on negatively charged atoms, known as anions, of bisulfate.

They are normally unstable, but they stabilize one another when they come together.

“Having the anions come together makes the overall complex more stable,” Fatila said. “I didn’t realize how important that result was until Amar pointed it out to me.”

This stability allows the supramolecule to form with hydrogen bonds between two cyanostars, pentagonal molecules in five-sided star-shapes.

Fatima performed nuclear magnetic resonance, a process of detecting the resonant energy of the molecule in a magnetic field, to determine the molecule’s structure.

She also analyzed concentrations of the solution, the mass of the molecule and the light emitted by the solution.

Fatila could use these tests to ensure the molecule she was creating was the supramolecule.

This experimental discovery showed what theoretical data was suggesting, Fatila said.

The result is counterintuitive because two negatively charged atoms should normally repel, not bond with, one another, according to the scientific theory of Coulomb’s Law. “It forces us to question our expectations of when matter does and does not follow the dictates of Coulomb’s law,” Flood said. “We always expect two anions to repel each other. Now that we have an example when they do not, we have to understand why.”

Fatila said she didn’t think the result was a big deal until she performed it and realized how unexpected it was.

“Big papers don’t come from ‘Oh, this totally explains my hypothesis,’ but usually ‘Oh, that’s odd,’” Fatila said.

Polish professor explains view of anti-irrationalism

By Bailey Cline baicline@iu.edu | @baicline

Professor Konrad Werner defined anti-irrationalism and its perceptions in a talk at the Polish Studies Center in Woodburn Hall on Wednesday.

“Anti-irrationalism is not a position. It is rather a platform,” Werner said. “It is an attitude shared by thinkers on both sides.”

Werner is a professor at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland. Phenomenology and philosophy of mind and perception are a few of his interests. “I made my decision to study philosophy about 14 years ago,” Werner said. “I am interested in boundaries, exactly — in boundary questions, in boundary cases, in the most abstract concepts we use to organize this reality in which we live.”

Attributing the knowledge from philosopher Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz, Werner explained there are different types of rationalism. Specifically, the position stands in two different pairs: rational-

“Anti-irrational platform is built up inside the domain of worldviews,” Werner said. “This is the pragmatic domain supposed to solve problems — scientific ones as well as social and individual ones.”

From what philosopher Leszek Kolakowski wrote, Werner distinguished this platform by targeting myths, which may distinguish the anti-irrational platform.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump participates in the third and final presidential debate at the University of Nevada Las Vegas on Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2016, in Las Vegas.

ANNIE GARAU | IDS

Jerry James, a retired Kelley lecturer, gives financial advice to Anita Decastro during an It's Your Money Talk to an expert session Jan. 19 at the Monroe County Public Library. Kelley students focusing in finance do not see future success in Donald Trump's financial plan.

Kelley students not swayed by Trump plan

By Dominick Jean drjean@indiana.edu | @Domino_Jean

Donald Trump promised his supporters at an Aug. 8 rally in Detroit that he will take the U.S. economy to “amazing new heights.” Yet, some students at IU’s Kelley School of Business disagree with his plans and how they can strengthen the U.S. economy.

“I just don’t understand,” IU junior Nick Leuthold said. “It just doesn’t make sense.”

Dallas Maverick’s owner and Kelley School of Business alum Mark Cuban has already come out and endorsed Hilary Clinton, citing Trump’s economic plans as bad for the country.

Leuthold is majoring in economic consulting and information systems and said from a few major things Trump has said, he does not think Trump will improve the economy at all.

One factor Leuthold pointed to was the bond market. The U.S. bond market is one of the largest in the world at 31.2 trillion dollars, and Leuthold said Trump’s plan to lower what is called a “maturity rate” will destroy the U.S. economy.

If Trump lowers the maturity rate, a bond worth $500 will be paid back for

$300 and will damage U.S. credit and the economy at large.

“That destroys the U.S. credit,” Leuthold said. “It doesn’t make any sense.”

Trump has also said the U.S. dollar is the weakest it has ever been, but Leuthold said that simply was not true. Leuthold said the dollar is actually stronger then it was before the 2008 housing market crash.

“We’re not that bad off,” Leuthold said. “He’s using that as a ploy.”

Peter Mowery, another junior in Kelley, said he had similar concerns and added Trump’s tax plan does not make sense.

“There is almost no way to make the numbers work in any feasible way,” Mowery said.

Mowery explained that Republican candidates since Reagan have advocated tax breaks and a “trickle down” system for the economy, and that does not work historically, he said.

“In practice, it usually doesn’t work,” Mowery said.

While Trump has claimed his past business success as a platform by which he knows how to handle finances, Mowery said he is skeptical since Trump has yet to release his tax returns and he has only

ever had one publicly traded company.

“We don’t know how much he is,” Mowery said. “I’d rather see his tax returns.”

While Trump certainly has money, Mowery said he would not label him as a top tier business person nor as a person he, or Kelley students he is around, would support.

“I cannot name a single person I know who supports him,” Mowery said.

Clare Wang, an IU senior also in Kelley, said while she is not involved in the political process, she does see a lot of controversy swirling around Trump and his past business mistakes.

“Once you make a mistake it’s hard to get that reputation back,” Wang said.

Mowery also said he has already cast his vote and is now just watching for the entertainment presented by the debates and the candidates.

“I already voted last Friday,” Mowery said. “I voted for Hilary Clinton.”

While he said he does not agree with all of Clinton’s policies, he does see her as the more experienced and sensible choice.

“It’s not about politics anymore,” Mowery said. “It’s who do you think will run the country competently.”

Early voting helps citizens, students to utilize voices

By Katelyn Haas haask@indiana.edu | @khaas96

In the middle of Tuesday afternoon, a line out the door was forming at Election Central in Bloomington.

Citizens have been coming in to vote early in the election since Oct. 12. The main location to participate in early voting, Election Central, located at 401 W. Seventh St., allows citizens to vote early until Nov. 7.

“We’ve been busy. We’ve reached over 900 people per day since we’ve opened,” said Charles Berhman, a volunteer election official at the site. “It’s a good turnout.”

Behrman, a Bloomington resident since 1984, said he has been working as an election official since President Obama’s first campaign in 2008. He said early voting is a way to make it more difficult for people not to vote.

“There’s no reason to just sit on the couch and not get out,” Behrman said.

“They’ve got plenty of time to do it. And they need to do it.”

The Monroe County Election Central office is open for early voting from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday, with the exception of Nov. 7, with hours from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The office is offering rides to Monroe County citizens, who can access the service by calling a number listed on the office’s website. A free shuttle bus is

also offered between 1 and 5 p.m. that leaves from the Indiana Memorial Union parking lot.

Early voting is the same process as voting on election day with the exception of filling out an early voting form or application at the early voting station.

Amanda Barge, candidate for county commissioner in District 3, said she sees a lot of community members excited for the top ticket of Clinton and Trump, but also others angry about issues happening locally.

She said she was standing outside of the Election Central office to campaign for county commissioner but also to encourage people to vote and become more informed on local issues in Monroe County.

“People are feeling frustrated with some of the county offices,” Barge said.

“I see people really passionate about that when they come here.”

She said she noticed many people were coming in simply to get their vote in and not have to think about the election anymore.

“I think people are tired of hearing about politics at this point,” Barge said. “They just want to get their vote done.”

IU junior Arielle Moir is one of these people.

A Bloomington resident studying at IU, she said she saw no need to postpone her vote when she had al-

ready made her decision.

She said as a student she was also worried about making the time to vote on Nov. 8 when she knew she had classes and other commitments.

“I learned about the early voting station through posts on my Facebook feed from Bloomington natives,” Moir said. “I decided to vote early to avoid the long lines on election day.”

Michael Impicciche, a freshman at IU, said he voted early absentee because he knew he would not be able to get back to his home county in Zionsville, Indiana.

“I had to send in a form in order to get a ballot sent to me, and then I filled out the ballot and sent it back to my hometown’s town hall,” Impicciche said. “Pretty simple.”

Barge said she noticed as a counselor working with students in the community that many students still do not know early voting exists in Bloomington.

“I think it would be fabulous to have a site on campus,” Barge said.

Early voting will continue at the Election Central office until Nov. 7.

Behrman said it is important to vote, early or not, in order to make one’s voice heard.

“Everyone needs to get out and vote,” He said. “It gives them bragging or complaining rights.”

Analyzing the topic of abortion discussed at the final debate Abortion is a controversial topic in every election.

It stands out because it’s not just a question of raising or lowering taxes or policy about faraway countries — it’s emotional.

There are people who truly believe aborting a fetus, no matter how far along, is murder. I’m Catholic, and this was how I was raised.

I’ve always been torn about the issue, but I realize it is only one among so many important issues that will need to be addressed by the next president. I also realize there is a hard-line separation between church and state.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump discussed abortion at the final presidential debate Wednesday night, and both appealed strongly to emotion. However, I think it’s important that we look at facts and statistics — not personal, religious beliefs — when deciding the government’s role in our lives.

We can’t know with absolute certainty whether

abortion is a moral wrong, at least not without invoking religion. So, we can start to evaluate how important the issue is by looking at what happens to women who are denied abortions because of financial issues, obesity or missing the deadline.

In 2013, the New York Times published an article about a study on this subject. Researcher Diana Greene Foster found that “turnaways” suffered physical and economic troubles after having the babies they previously tried to abort. According to the article, these women were three times as likely to move below the federal poverty line within a couple years.

It’s also been shown that countries that outlaw abortions don’t effectively stop them from happening. In fact, the women who are desperate to have them will get them anyways, by any means. So, there are incredible safety risks to banning all abortions without exception.

TRENDY.

YOU WON’T FIND A LEISURE SUIT EVERY TIME, BUT WHEN YOU DO...

422 E. KIRKWOOD AVE.

Cassie Heeke is a senior in journalism.

Even with this knowledge, some people still cannot reconcile their moral consciences to believe in legal abortions, and I get that. If you believe, undoubtably, that killing a fetus equates to killing a human being, there is no way to argue that point.

However, I urge voters not to concentrate on just one issue. I’ve heard many people express that they cannot, as good Christians, vote for someone who wants to keep abortion legal. But there are other ways to discourage abortion that don’t include policy and that don’t include voting for someone who you may disagree with on a vast majority of other issues.

Pro-life advocates can advertise, protest and make themselves heard. They can urge women to reconsider.

But they can do all of this outside the legal system. cnheeke@indiana.edu

GETTING IN THE GROOVE

Finding inspiration from a famous Bloomingtonian

ILLUSTRATION BY MORGAN ANDERSON | IDS

The Great Barrier Reef is dying but not dead Still, a little sensationalism could be helpful in spurring reforms Last week, climate scientists worked to walk back some serious public relations damage brought on by an Outside Magazine article that claimed the Great Barrier Reef was officially dead as a result of increased carbon levels in the ocean that have bleached much of the reef’s coral.

Though the difference is a semantic one, dead and dying are two hugely different things.

Terry Hughes, director of the ARC Center of Excellence for Coral Reef studies, assured people that the reef had not permanently died. “We can and must save the Great Barrier Reef,” Hughes said. “Large sections of it (the southern half) escaped from the 2016 bleaching, and are in reasonable shape. The message should be that it isn’t too late for Australia to lift its game and better protect the GBR, not we should all give up because the GBR is supposedly dead.”

However, the Editorial Board believes that a dose of sensationalism to describe the

ongoing climate crisis is not necessarily a bad thing.

Though it is true that the Reef isn’t fully dead, a patient with a life-threatening illness would not warrant a passive response from doctors. The Reef is in fact an early casualty of the environment’s total deterioration at the hands of fossil fuel production and consumption.

However, even the Australian government has shown no inclination to reverse the bleaching of its national treasure. Not only has it approved the largest coal mine in its history this year, but it also lobbied the UN to remove a chapter on the reef from a report detailing climate change’s impact on World Heritage sites.

What marvels of the world have to be ravaged before our world leaders make even the slightest effort to save the world from climate change?

Do the redwoods have to be rotting from the inside out?

Does the Sahara need to be in flames or New York City

flooded?

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has already deemed climate change “irreversible but not unstoppable.” By most standards, that is an optimistic forecast. Many are claiming that the effects of climate change are accelerating more than previously expected, and with record-setting global temperatures the past few years, it is tough to disagree.

Politically, our situation is even more grim. The Republican party has vowed to prevent President Obama from ratifying the Paris Climate Agreement, which resulted in Obama bypassing the Senate to even get the deal agreed to by the United States.

Although the agreement aims to keep the global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius and slash carbon emissions, many believe it is too little too late. Congress may be thought of as the main obstacle to climate reform, but remember that, in February, the Supreme Court struck

down the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan, which would authorize EPA regulations on greenhouse-gas emissions.

Opposition to even moderate climate reform by U.S. political leadership sends two clear messages to the world: don’t bother fighting climate change, and forget your grandchildren having an inhabitable planet.

The Editorial Board would like to offer a both macro- and micro-level solution to the climate crisis. First, centralized planning is needed to mitigate the climate crisis on a global level. Yes, that may sound like socialism, but the business world has proved itself unwilling and unable to coordinate a response to climate change.

Secondly, never underestimate how much vegetarianism can help the climate. The meat industry is a notorious polluter. We know vegetarians can be annoying, but would you rather have a hamburger or grandchildren?

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

#RepealThe19th movement should trouble us all In a long list of things that have made me question the collective IQ of the United States, the one that has stuck out the most was a trending topic on Twitter recently. #RepealThe19th trended on Twitter last week after a graphic was released showing if women did not vote in the upcoming election, Donald Trump would win.

Naturally, Trump supporters concluded that this means women no longer deserve the right to vote.

For those of you readers who do not know, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution is the amendment that gave women the right to vote in 1920.

It’s quite shocking to think that it hasn’t even been 100 years since women were granted the right to vote.

It’s appalling to think that a group of people want to take that vote away just to make sure their preferred presiden-

tial nominee can win.

Nate Silver released the graphic showing how the election would go if only women voted and if only men voted.

The graphic involving only women showed Hillary Clinton winning by a landslide.

She would have 458 electoral votes versus Trump only receiving 80.

The graph involving only men showed Trump winning, but not by a large margin like the other. Trump would win with 350 electoral votes and Clinton would have 188.

I think that rather than demanding that women get their right to vote taken away, Trump supporters should wonder what it is about his policies that make women not want to vote for him.

It is important to take into account that these graphics were created just days after the infamous offensive comments that Trump made in 2005 were leaked to the media.

However, this is not the first time the female vote was the decider in an election.

In 2012, more women voted for current president Barack Obama. Fifty-three percent of voters in that election were women.

Women are gaining more and more elected positions, so it is very important to include the treatment and betterment of women’s rights in policies.

When a presidential nominee does not plan on helping a large contingent of the population, there is something wrong with that nominee’s policies.

Even before the most heinous of comments were made, women still leaned towards Clinton by 24 percent.

The divide was not as prevalent, but it was still an obvious choice among women.

Trump’s policies have never been conscious of women’s rights.

Last week was not the first time #RepealThe19th circu-

lated Twitter. It was originally coined by alt-right groups seeking to offend and mock women.

The hashtag has since then been hijacked by women defending their right to vote and calling out men who are intimidated by the power women have in politics.

Honestly, I wasn’t too surprised by half of the tweets I saw in the trend.

At this point, not even women defending the trending hashtag really shocked me.

It’s deplorable, like many women on Twitter said, and I just hope those who truly believe women do not deserve the right to vote eventually learn some sense. mmbarbac@indiana.edu

The editorial board comprises columnists contributing to the Opinion page and the Opinion editors.

Throughout my childhood, two movies I always found myself returning to time and time again were “The Princess Diaries” and “The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.”

Everything about the series — from Anne Hathaway’s dorky Princess Mia to Julie Andrews’s graceful Queen Clarisse — drew me in. Mia is a pretty typical high school student: she hates algebra, she just wants to fit in with everyone else and she’s altogether stunned when she finds out that she’s heir to the throne of a small (and, in reality, nonexistent) European principality called Genovia.

In middle school, I read the entire book series the movies are based off of and soon grew to love them more than the movies. It was never hard to empathize with Mia, and I think that’s one of the main reasons I loved her so much. If anything, I saw myself in her love of her cat, Fat Louie, her proclivity for tripping and other balance-related calamities, and her passion for writing.

So you can imagine my excitement when I found out that Meg Cabot, the author of the 10-book series, would be visiting IU Monday night for a talk and signing of her new book, “The Boy is Back.”

Before Monday night, I had never heard Cabot — a Bloomington native and IU alumna — speak before. I don’t think I’d even read an interview with her.

Throughout her speech, which was mostly about her life story and the background behind her new book, I couldn’t help but feel uplifted by the way she described crafting “The Princess Diaries.”

ANNA GROOVER is a freshman in English and political science.

Essentially, after she moved out east to New York, her mom began dating one of her college professors.

Frustrated with this, Cabot decided to write a story about a 30 year old in that same situation.

All of the people with whom she shared the story couldn’t figure out why someone that age would be upset about something like that, though, so she made a few changes.

The 30 year old became Mia, a 14 year old struggling to come to terms with the fact that her mom was dating her algebra teacher. Cabot spent a lot of her youth writing “Star Wars” fan fiction (though fan fiction was not a thing in the 1980s) and decided that she wanted to write about someone like Princess Leia. Blend it all together, and Princess Mia was born.

That Cabot took two relatively simple things — her frustration with her mom and her love of “Star Wars” — and used them to spin a tale that has riveted thousands of girls all over the world is truly inspiring to me.

First and foremost, it’s a testament to Cabot’s skill as a writer, but it’s also proof that ideas and inspiration are floating around us all the time. We only need to figure out how to grab them out of the air and turn them into something real — or at least semi-real, like the Kingdom of Genovia. acgroove@indiana.edu

THE COFFEE CHRONICLES

IU mental health programs need work Mental health is a key concern for most college students. In 2013, about 11 out of 100,000 students between the ages of 15 and 24 died as a result of suicide, and there has been an increase in the percentage of psychological problem on campus in recent years.

The Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State found that anxiety and depression are the most common medical diagnoses on college campuses.

This fact is horrifying.

However, while I thought this fact was bad, I was more shocked at why students say they were struggling. Students don’t feel that their colleges are doing enough, and I agree.

A good amount of my friends have some symptoms of a mental illness — whether it’s anxiety, depression or obsessive compulsive disorder. This is fine — mental illness is an illness and should be treated as such. It’s not something to be ashamed of.

The stigma of mental illness contributes greatly to people not wanting to talk about it or refusing to believe that they have it.

However, many of these same friends refuse to seek treatment because they simply can’t afford the cost of counseling.

Counseling is considered a luxury for many students, many of whom have to pay for their own rent and school. While the two free sessions per student provided by IU Counseling and Psychological Services are useful, they’re not enough.

Counseling or therapy requires more than two sessions.

IU has a lot of problems that it needs to combat. It needs to better its sexual assault services and work on

making the internet more reliable, but it especially needs to work on its mental health services.

It’s great that the school offers two free sessions.

However, mental health disorders are diseases and should be treated as rigorously as the flu. CAPS needs to not only offer more sessions but also expand its services to be more inclusive of its general population: students.

The IU Health Center is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. These are peak class hours, which means that it’s difficult for students to attend if they want to. Additionally, a suicide hotline for the school would be useful.

While the national suicide hotline is always open — (800) 273-8255, for those who need it — offering one through the school may make students feel as though there is a more direct connection to the speaker.

Mental illness is one of the most biggest risks for students our age. It should be taken seriously. Not only that, it should be fought vigorously by the school.

There is nothing I find more discouraging than hearing depression levels in college are so high that it’s the leading cause of death for college-aged students.

We can fight this disease, and we can do it well.

IU needs to play its part. It needs to take care of its students. While none of these solutions will eliminate suicide, they could drastically reduce its rates. npatwari@indiana.edu

IU preparing for stretch run

By Josh Eastern jeastern@iu.edu | @JoshEastern

The final stretch of the regular season is here for IU and there is still a lot to play for.

The Hoosiers currently sit in a tie for second place in the Big Ten standings at 10 points with Wisconsin and Michigan State. After Maryland wrapped up the Big Ten title last weekend, the battle is on for the second seed in the Big Ten Tournament.

Luckily for the Hoosiers, they control their destiny as they play their final two Big Ten matches of the season against Wisconsin and Michigan State. IU Coach Todd Yeagley said it’ll be crucial to get two wins to lock down the No. 2 seed for the tournament.

“They all get bigger as we get later in the season,” Yeagley said. “The early games will be important on our resume, but the margins are still big because there are a lot of factors in play. We need to finish strong to have a good seed in the Big Ten tournament and continue to put positive results on our NCAA

resume.”

Saturday at Ohio State was a game of catch-up for IU. Although IU ended up getting a late goal to force extra time and did get a result, it could be looked at as a missed opportunity.

Moving forward, there is no room for error. The No. 7 Hoosiers have done what they needed to do outside the conference with wins against Butler and Louisville to boost their RPI. Now, the struggles in the Big Ten need to end.

“We had the majority of the game,” Yeagley said about Saturday’s draw. “I thought we gave them a soft goal to start the game. We gifted them a few areas, but controlled the rest of the game.

Tough to walk away with a tie because I thought we had enough of it for a win.”

The Big Ten Tournament will bring a sense of uncertainty for the Hoosiers. They have struggled within the conference, but the tournament is still a few weeks down the road. They will have a chance to get things back on track.

Avoiding No. 1 seed and Big Ten champion Maryland until the championship has to be the number one priority for the Hoosiers. They will have a bit of a home field advantage with it being played in Westfield, Indiana, at Grand Park.

“The last two or three games there is always something on the line,” Yeagley said. “These are big and these are really big teams we are playing.”

One potential cause for concern could be the defense.

IU junior defender Grant Lillard has recovered from injury and finally feels well enough to play, the only issue is that after allowing three goals in the first nine games this season, IU has now allowed nine goals in the last five games.

On offense in the last five games, the Hoosiers have scored multiple goals in three matches. If they can get both the offense and defense on track at the same time, this could be a dangerous team down the stretch.

“Anything can happen in college soccer, it’s tight,” Yeagley said. “Maryland is a

really good team, but I think they would be the first to say that they have gotten some key breaks this year. Some years that works with you and some years it doesn’t.”

The Big Ten has been an interesting conference all season long. Just three points separate the two seed from the six seed in the conference.v Northwestern’s overtime win against No. 2 Notre Dame on Tuesday is an example of what this conference is capable of.

Every match is a battle and just like IU senior goalkeeper Colin Webb said before the season, if you aren’t having a good technical day, teams can find results.

That is exactly what IU has learned this season. Playing well in the last two matches will be very important for the Hoosiers moving forward.

“I think the Northwestern game is a good example,” Yeagley said. “We’re capable of beating anyone in the country — teams in our conference — whether at the top, middle or bottom. It’s a tight league, it’s tough.”

GOTT TAKES

Please, let there be twerking in the NFL There’s seven minutes and 48 seconds left in the second quarter when it happens.

Dropping back, Kirk Cousins, quarterback of the Washington Redskins, hits new tight end Vernon Davis for a 13yard touchdown.

Davis strolls into the end zone with a purpose, takes the pigskin and tosses it in the air as if he’s shooting a jumpshot.

The ball harmlessly falls to the turf, along with a flag for excessive celebration from the official. Davis has cost his team 15-yards on the succeeding kickoff for having fun.

“That’s using the ball and the goalpost as a prop,” said Dean Blandino, NFL vice president of Officiating in reference to touchdown celebrations by Davis and Odell Beckham. “That’s a violation of the rule. You can’t dunk the ball over the goalpost,

shoot the ball, finger roll, all of that is illegal — using the football and the goalpost as a prop. Fifteen-yard penalty, it’s enforced on the kickoff, so Washington kicked off from their own 20-yard line.”

Technically, he’s right.

Davis should have been penalized according to the letter of the law. The problem is these rules are ridiculous.

The NFL oftentimes tries to present itself as the moral arbiter of goodness and rightness. Roger Goodell speaks about “protecting the shield” in seemingly every press conference.

Sports are fun. They’re supposed to bring people together and allow players to work hard to accomplish a goal. Yes, there’s a time to be serious, but that doesn’t automatically take away the ability to be yourself.

This flag for having fun was not the first this season and won’t be the last. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been one of the main recipients of these types of penalties.

He was fined a combined $20,000 after the first game of the season for a celebratory twerking dance and not wearing the proper shoes. Just two games ago, he was threatened to be benched by the league for donning Muhammad Ali tribute cleats.

It’s outrageous a league that should be trying to build stars and personas would try to limit the voice of one of their best players. It doesn’t just hurt Brown. It hurts the entire league.

The NFL is a behemoth that is constantly trying to maintain total and complete control, but it seems that en-

deavor has come with a cost.

The best part of playing football, at least to me, is trying to decide on a celebration touchdown. What dance would I do when I reached the fictional end zone? I rarely made it to the other side, but those few special times when I did you’re damn right I’d be dancing.

Limiting the players’ fun ultimately won’t hurt the NFL’s bottom line, however it does hurt the overall product and discourages the players from being themselves.

Dear NFL, Calm down.

IU players Kate Barber and Morgan Dye work together in their game Sept. 11 against the University of New Hampshire.

IU senior class to have its last match at home

By Juan Alvarado jdalvara@indiana.edu | @Jdsports14

IU Coach Amanda Janney is sad to see this year’s crop of seniors leave.

Their leadership, Janney said, has made everyone proud.

This Friday against Ohio State will be the last time senior midfielders Morgan Dye and Mollie Getzfread and senior defenders Kate Barber and Malia Fujisawa set foot on the IU Field Hockey Complex for a collegiate match in IU’s annual Senior Day game.

“It is going to be a weird transition,” Dye said. “Field hockey has been such a huge part of our lives for so long, when it is not there anymore it is just going to be a little missing spot.”

During their careers as Hoosiers, the seniors have experienced victories and defeats that have established them as leaders for the squad.

Dye said their victories last season against ranked opponents at Iowa and Northwestern were some of her most memorable moments playing for IU, because they showed the team what they were capable of and gave the program more confidence.

However, it was a Sept.

17, 2015 loss that made the biggest difference.

“Last year when we lost to Maryland was a really good experience,” Dye said. “We only lost by one goal in overtime. It was a game we went in thinking we were a huge underdog, so then to go in a play right with them and hang for the

whole game was a really good learning point for us that we are that good of a team.”

All four seniors have started each game this season and are contributing significantly on the field.

Barber is currently having her best season, as she’s scored 16 goals in 16 games and notched the game-winning goal against No. 12 Michigan to give IU its first win over a ranked opponent on the road in 10 years last weekend.

Fujisawa has been an essential pillar in the Hoosier backline and leads the team with five defensive saves.

However, the seniors haven’t only served as examples on the field for the rest of their teammates but in the classroom with their academic performance too.

All four of them have received the Academic All-Big Ten award during their junior and sophomore years here at IU. Last season, Dye even received the Jack D. Tichenor award, which is given to IU’s female athlete with the highest grade point average.

As the season comes to an end, the seniors are already planning on staying in touch so they can go on yearly trips in the upcoming years.

“I think without a doubt my senior class, they are my best friends now,” Fujisawa said. “They are my sisters. I would never trade them for anything, and I think it has been such a blessing to be able to be with this class.”

“I took our captains to the funeral, and this little girl lit up when she saw our kids,” Dunbar-Kruzan said.

“Then we had her be a guest coach for us this past weekend, and she came out and gave me a hug and said, ‘This is the best day for me.’

We are capable of doing that and making someone’s day better just because we put time into it and care about people.”

Junior outside hitter Jessica Leish serves as the team’s community outreach liaison on its leadership council.

She believes volunteering in the community is important for the individual and the team.

“We are given so much coming here in terms of gear and travel and scholarships that to give back is really important,” Leish said. “Even in the hour or so per week we spend with the children, we get so much out of it.”

“The producers and the creative team really wanted to find a mix of people,” Koloszar said. “I would say only half really have a collegiate a cappella background, but as far as singing goes, singing is singing, and if you have a passion for it, you can make a career out of it.”

Because Koloszar said she was a musical theater major in college, she had no intentions or goals to pursue a career in a cappella singing. Nevertheless, when she saw the chance to audition for the group, she said she knew it was the right path for her to take.

“I love harmony and I can learn it quickly because I’m a nerd like that, so it was perfect for me,” she said. “It wasn’t something I ever planned — it’s hard enough going to school for any kind of arts whether its music or singing because you aren’t always sure what path you can take and you can’t always make a plan.”

Because the performance gives college students the opportunity to see what a professional music career is like after graduation, Koloszar said she hopes it inspires them to pursue their own dreams.

“Oh man, don’t give up,” she said. “You’re not always going to be right for everything and sometimes you won’t get something, but that’s just because something better is waiting. Keep going.”

Study of Hate and Extremism suggested that political rhetoric has played a role in religious hate crimes, Hashemi said.

In 2015, anti-Muslim crimes have risen to the highest since 9/11, and Donald Trump’s rhetoric contributed to this rise, Hashemi said.

“The problem isn’t simply right-wing commentary on Muslims but liberals and members of the Democratic Party have also unconsciously contributed to this growing problem,” Hashemi said.

“The kids on our team love to hear the stories, and they learn from those stories,” Dunbar-Kruzan said.

Sophomore defensive specialist Samantha Fogg has always wanted to work with little kids and loves being able to simultaneously have fun and give back.

Last weekend, members of the team were able to participate in a nature walk and an arts-and-crafts project with the school children, which Fogg says was the most fun activity she has done while volunteering to this point.

Putting Muslims only in the context of ISIS, terrorism and radicalization paints a negative image of the religious adherents, Hashemi said.

Comedian Bill Maher’s claims that ISIS is a reflection of Islam and Muslims contribute to the Islamophobia, Hashemi said.

“If you look at some of the polls, there are polls that suggest that 45 percent of supports of the Democratic Party would support a ban on Muslims in the United States,” Hashemi said.

“Indiana Athletics as a whole does a very good job of giving back to the community,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “As head coaches, it is our job to make sure that we make volunteering important and not just something we do. I know our kids enjoy it because they tell me the stories, and sometimes they do extra time because they feel like it’s valuable.”

The conflating and equating of American Muslims with Al-Qaeda, Hashemi said, is a result of misleading rhetoric.

Calling out the mass media portrayal of Islam and the Islamophobia industry, Hashemi explains, have promoted Muslim McCarthyism.

Western civilization’s perceptions of the Middle East and Islam are rooted in history, through Ancient Greece, the Enlightenment and colonialism, Hashemi said. He emphasized the importance of individual action in fighting Islamophobia.

“There is one lesson for all of us,” Hashemi said. “Bias,

prejudice and religious bigotry against our religious groups can be overcome and has been overcome.”

The U.S. democracy, with its self-correcting procedures, has shown it has the power to combat Islamophobia.

Paraphrasing Martin Luther King Jr., Hashemi said, “The arch of history is long but in the end it bends towards justice.”

But it doesn’t bend toward justice by itself, Hashemi said.

“It bends toward justice because of engagement, sacrifice and public articulation of rational and persuasive arguments,” Hashemi said.

The ever-changing Lady Gaga*

Hat from the cover of 2016’s “Joanne”

Through the years, we’ve seen Gaga take on dozens of personas. But now, with tomorrow’s release of her fifth album, “Joanne,” the pop singer shows off a more personal side.

Sunglasses from 2008’s “The Fame” album cover

*We’ve made paper doll pieces for you to swap between some of Gaga’s most iconic looks.

In 2008, when 22-year old Stefani Germanotta first entered the mainstream as Lady Gaga, she was probably the most controversial pop artist of the past 20 years.

Eight years later, the nowbeloved star will soon be releasing her much-anticipated fifth LP “Joanne.” It has been two years since Gaga has released an album and three years since she released exclusively a dance album.

If that somehow isn’t enough, it was announced at the end of September that Gaga would be performing at the 2017 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

She previously sang the national anthem at this year’s Super Bowl, but now she is given the chance to follow in the footsteps of Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen by giving us an ecstatic and stunning show we will never forget.

It’s hard to imagine a time where Gaga was actually disliked, given how larger-than-life her status is now.

But early in her career, one would have thought the antics and oddities of the former New York nightclub performer would have made her the next Madonna.

But she wasn’t Madonna. She was better.

Gaga encouraged her listeners to explore their independence, acceptance and artistry.

Time has not been kind to stars like Madonna and Britney Spears, but in the Babylonian age of Twitter criticism, Gaga still reigns as queen of the pop industry.

The former two faced harsh scandals and criticism almost from day one, while the latter somehow managed to go almost a whole decade without serious public hate.

With that said, Gaga’s “little monsters” were recently fearful that she may never perform again.

Gaga’s theatricality sets her apart When Lady Gaga first gained popularity, I was not a fan.

“Just Dance” and “Poker Face” were playing incessantly on the radio, and I was thinking that she was just going to be another overplayed pop sensation who brought no real depth to our culture other than a zany personality and another song to play at a middle school dance party.

Then I watched her perform “You and I” at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.

Or shall I say, I watched Jo Calderone, her male alter ego and a theatrical creation that chain-smoked and ranted about Gaga as any insecure, jealous exboyfriend would.

He sat down at the piano and started belting out the lyrics to the “Born This Way” ballad that had finally emotionally connected me to Gaga.

In that moment, I felt like I was watching history.

And for many of her performances since, I have continued to feel that way.

From her “Do What U Want” American Music Awards performance, where she was reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe seducing the president, to her classy and refined tribute to "Sound of Music” at the 2015 Oscars, she never ceases to captivate while on stage.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 Her aspirations of becoming a wife and mother consumed her shortly after becoming engaged to Taylor Kinney.

Earlier this year, she even put off all plans for recording and engagement to focus on becoming pregnant.

When the couple broke off their relationship in July, it seemed as if a massive weight had been lifted from Gaga’s shoulders.

Shortly after, she released “Perfect Illusion” as a single and later did the same for “Million Reasons.”

These two singles show a more soulful, vulnerable side of Gaga we have only seen glimpses of before in songs like “Speechless,” “Dope” and “Til It Happens to You.” Gaga has said this openness and soulsearching is present throughout “Joanne.”

This sudden change in tone comes as no surprise to Gaga fans, however. Each

supposed to be surprising to fans but also “a wonderful, soul-searching experience,” according to Gaga herself.

I would describe getting to know Lady Gaga as an artist and performer in a very similar way.

Gaga is eccentric in a way that never seems to really stray from who she is.

And perhaps her most captivating character thus far, in my opinion, was that of the Countess on “American Horror Story: Hotel.”

During the fifth season of the horror anthology series, Gaga played a bloodsucking seductress who stole the show every

time she was on camera.

Her poise and calculation in her lines accompanied by her stunning wardrobe combined for a simply intoxicating persona, definitely worthy of her Golden Globe win.

And now Gaga is about to release her fifth studio album, “Joanne,” which is

of her previous albums have shown drastically different musical styles.

“The Fame” was the Madonna-esque synthpop record. “Born this Way” was the New York nightclub record. “Artpop” was the, well, artistic record. And “Cheek to Cheek” was the jazz standards record with Tony Bennett.

The record will feature collaborations with Florence Welch, Beck and Father John Misty. She will also be working with Tame Impala singer Kevin Parker and songwriting legend Mark Ronson in the writing process.

Who could ask for a more perfect blend?

It’s safe to say the doubt in most people’s minds about Gaga years ago has been replaced with a stronger level of devotion.

Gaga’s sheer talent and unique performances play the most significant role in this, of course, but her activism and philanthropy have been equally appreciated in the hearts of

her fans.

From the very beginning, Gaga was open about her bisexuality and faithfulness toward the LGBT community. As such, songs like “Born this Way” have been held as anthems for members of the community.

Gaga has also used her fame to champion for women’s rights and has openly discussed issues such as sexual assault and gender inequality. The former was the subject of her 2015 hit “Til It Happens to You,” which was recorded for the campus rape documentary “The Hunting Ground.”

In Gaga’s music, listeners have managed to find a place where judgment and hate are nonexistent and inner-beauty and love are not only normal, but required.

To be a freak is to be loved. ‘Cause, baby, you were born this way.

She is representative of the power of transformation throughout one’s life and how crucial it is to not let the world tell you who it is okay to be.

She exudes sexuality without attaching it to specific rules or genders, and she is capable of applying herself to so many facets

of music, film, fashion and philanthropy.

She is an inspiration and an enigma, and I am hopeful that her love for performance and entertainment does not burn out any time soon.

Reviews of Lady Gaga’s previous albums In preparation for Friday’s release of “Joanne,” Weekend reviews Lady Gaga’s discography so far.

selling singles of all time.

Other tracks like “Alejandro,” “Telephone” and “Teeth” are also gems.

“The Fame” When “The Fame” came out back in 2008, it was a blast. It featured catchy, high-energy dance anthems like “LoveGame,”“Poker Face” and “Paparazzi” that quickly became radio hits.

With this daring debut album, she won a Grammy in 2010 for Best Dance/ Electronic Album and was nominated for Album of the Year.

“Born This Way” With the massive success of “Bad Romance,” it seemed nearly impossible for Lady Gaga to follow up with another record. With “Born this Way,” Gaga provided an entire tracklist of material that was not only as good, but better than her previous recordings.

To many, this may always be Gaga’s magnum opus. This album gave Gaga her third consecutive Album of the Year Grammy nomination, the only artist to do since the Beatles.

“The Fame Monster” While technically an extension off “The Fame,”“The Fame Monster” was the very record that sent Lady Gaga into the stratosphere as one of the biggest pop idols of the time, if not the biggest.

The lead single “Bad Romance” sold more than 12 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-

Austin Faulds afaulds@indiana.edu @a_faulds9615

“Artpop” Gaga’s third studio album “Artpop” took a more surreal and quirky direction than the anthemic power of “Born this Way.” The album’s themes mostly revolved around Gaga’s take on sex, love,

empowerment and addiction.

The album was also Gaga’s first big step away from “traditional” pop music.

With production help from electronic powerhouses Zedd and David Guetta, “Artpop” is an labyrinth of techno, R&B and rock — and it’s pure Gaga.

“Cheek to Cheek” Perhaps the most deviant of all her records, “Cheek to Cheek” is a jazz album recorded with legendary singer Tony Bennett. The LP is compiled of beautiful covers like “Anything Goes,”“Nature Boy” and “Firefly,” which all show off the gorgeous range of Gaga’s voice.

While not terribly well received, it is still a lovely album that proves Gaga is capable of more than just techno-pop music.

Members of the African American Dance Company dance during a performance Wednesday evening in Teter Quadrangle.

Groups to preserve culture

By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjo

The noise in the Teter NST went from ambient to lively Wednesday night as performers in the annual Potpourri of the Arts in the African American Tradition assembled a preview of the event, which will take place Nov. 5 in the IU Auditorium.

The event is sponsored by the African American Arts Institute at IU. To Raymond Wise, director of the African American Choral Ensemble, the performance is about more than just its individual parts, he said.

“It’s my life,” Wise said.

“I’ve grown up in a family of artists.”

The choral ensemble is

one of three groups that compose the African American Arts Institute.

The institute’s other two groups, the IU Soul Revue and the African American Dance Company, will also be performing in the event.

Wise said the synergy of cultures is what has infused African American art forms into the cultural history of the United States.

Wise said the institute is necessary because it promotes and maintains the history of African American art.

“What’s important about African American arts is that they are such a part of the American art form,” Wise said.

Senior James Wilder, who plays trumpet in the IU Soul Revue, said it was this car-

rying-on of culture that has kept him in the group.

“At the end of the day, there are a lot of messages we put out, but at the core of it all, it’s love,” Wilder said.

Wilder said he wants attendees at the upcoming event to feel like they have experienced something special when they leave the performance, even if they don’t know exactly what that special something is yet.

He said the love he sees in every facet of music can be taken away from the event, and he hopes the audience does.

Dexter Clardy, a singer in the IU Soul Revue, said arts in an African American context to him just means American culture.

“It’s essentially an expres-

sion of the oppression we’ve suffered, and an expression of some good times in African American history as well,” Clardy said.

Clardy said when he got to IU, he realized the majority of the population was not black.

With the release of 14 albums since 1996, acclaimed singer-songwriter Malcolm Holcombe is an experienced folk musician.

On Thursday night, he will bring this experience to the Player’s Pub for the first time.

Despite his large music library, Holcombe said he doesn’t listen to his old songs. Because of this mentality, he said he will mostly play songs from his more recent albums Thursday.

“During the show sometimes, I’ll pull out old songs,” he said. “I don’t use a set list. Most of the songs will be from the last couple of records, but if I can remember, you never know, I might pull an old tune out of the closet.”

Holcombe said he has played previous shows in Bloomington and has known WFHB 98.1’s music director Jim Manion for many years.

“I like Jim and it’s a nice town, nice people,” Manion said. “We’ve been playing at some venues there, so it’s wonderful to have this new venue there that works with

WFHB and it just came about through my booking agency, so I’m looking forward to it.”

Player’s Pub booking agent Joe Estivill said he is not familiar with Holcombe’s music, but agreed Holcombe would be a good fit for the venue at the suggestion of Manion.

“I volunteer at the radio station, so I’ve known Jim for a long time,” Estivill said. “I asked him about it because I didn’t know the artist myself. Jim was very excited to be able to get him in town. Jim has been the music director over there for a couple of decades, so he knows artists a lot more than I do, so I ask his advice from time to time.”

Holcombe said he draws inspiration for his music from both his personal experiences and the stories of others.

Like the old adage, he said he generally writes about what he knows.

“I’ve never lived in the North Pole, so it’s hard to write songs about the North Pole because I’ve never been there,” he said.

Lecturer discusses Chinese actress

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

This Wednesday at the Eskenazi Museum of Art, Lisa Kwong, adjunct lecturer in English and Asian American Studies, delivered a talk titled “Anna May Wong: She, Too, Was Hollywood.” She discussed the actress Wong and her relevance in the lives of Asian Americans during her career as well as in the present.

One of the Eskenazi museum’s installations this semester, “Old Hollywood Glam,” contains the headshots of starlets, including Wong, during the Golden Age of the 1920s to 1940s.

The display of classic photographs correlates with Themester’s beauty initative.

Kwong began by listing the names of contemporary actors Aziz Ansari, Lucy Liu, Mindy Kahling, George Takei and others, after asking the group of about 25 students and community members if they knew of Wong.

“Anna May Wong, as the first Chinese-American actor to gain international fame,

paved the way for all the Asian American actors I just listed,” Kwong said. “She was glamorous, talented, expressive and also deeply misunderstood by her own family, the public, Hollywood and China.”

Kwong spoke in front of the grouping of black-andwhite photos, including the one of Wong, cloaked in shadow with her garment sliding down her body.

The talk was divided into two parts — the first being a summary of Wong’s life, starting with her childhood and continuing through her short but full career that resulted in more than 50 films.

Kwong said Wong became interested in acting as a child, sneaking out to movie sets to watch the performers, then coming home to practice their scenes herself in the mirror.

“Her parents caught her, and her father made clear his disapproval by saying, ‘A good girl will not be an actress,’” Kwong said. “Wong rebelled and secretly went to movie sets anyway. Wong was a girl with a dream,

yes, but she also wanted to support her family so they wouldn’t have to work so hard.”

Wong’s career in Hollywood film was filled with struggles, as she faced the issues of both being typecast as the “oriental” prostitute and other stereotypical roles, or losing such roles to white actors in yellow face, Kwong said.

Kwong said after a trip to China in Wong’s adulthood, she made the decision to no longer accept these stereotypical roles and only take on those that would depict the Chinese in a positive light.

“Ironically, Anna May Wong died in 1961, right before she would have portrayed Madam Liang in the Rogers & Hammerstein musical ‘Flower Drum Song,’ which was one of the first films to feature an almost all Asian-American cast,” Kwong said. “As a fan of Wong and ‘Flower Drum Song,’ I was definitely disappointed she didn’t get that experience.”

The second part of the talk revolved around a care-

ful analysis of the portrait itself, one of a few limited edition prints of the actress by George Hurell in 1938.

Nan Brewer, curator of works on paper at the museum, said the Themester’s beauty idea was what inspired the display of photographs, including Wong’s.

“I was interested in investigating the concept of how Hollywood determined certain standards of beauty in the presentation, particularly of women, of actresses,” Brewer said. “My main interest was this image by George Hurell of Anna May Wong.”

Kwong said the image perpetuates a lot of the stereotypes about Asian women at the time with both the positioning and later the descriptions of that particular headshot, taken at a time when the Chinese Exclusion Act was still in effect.

“We can interpret this image in a few ways given how Asian Americans were perceived in the U.S.,” Kwong said. “First of all, let’s address — half her face is more SEE HOLLYWOOD, PAGE 10

Alumnus releases independent IU student feature film From IDS reports

As a part of his individualized major capstone project, IU alumnus Kevin Domer released the largest independent IU student film “Virtuoso,” according to an email from Domer.

“While the film’s been done for a few years, various factors have stalled sharing it publicly,” Domer said in the email.

The film has had a long history at IU’s campus, first written and pre-produced in 2008 and shot in 2010 and 2011. After Domer graduated, he attempted to submit the film to several festivals and screenings, which postponed its public release date.

According to the email, the

film is a coming-of-age, comedic drama that tells the story of a piano student in college.

As the character goes through his college experience, he is confronted by a past tragedy that makes him question his former dreams.

The film is set on locations around campus and features several IU landmarks, including the Sample Gates, which are featured on the film’s poster.

“None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of the IU community,” Domer said in the email. “We hope ‘Virtuoso’ will inspire more students to stay true to their calling and better lead their own lives.”

She said she wants her students to take away a sense of unity and well-being from the institute, but

she also wants them to learn from the experience.

When the Institute was established, it had a small house with poor ventilation, according to Taliefero.

Now, she said, they have millions of dollars in funding.

She said she wishes she could be an undergraduate student again just to experience what her students experience now.

Fox remakes, celebrates classic After the success of the live remake of “Grease,” FOX strikes again with another live version of a beloved classic, “Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

The remake, called “Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do The Time Warp Again,” will air 8 p.m.

Thursday on Fox. It is a celebration of the movie’s 40 years of theatrical distribution and a celebration of how much of a pop culture icon the film has become, especially during the Halloween season.

The cult classic tells the story of Brad and Janet, a newlywed couple that one night get a flat tire while driving in a storm.

They seek shelter from an eerie castle and there meet Dr. Frank-N-Furter, an eccentric, androgynous mad scientist who is creating a man “with blond hair and a tan” to fulfill his sexual needs.

“Orange Is The New Black” actress Laverne Cox will play Dr. FrankN-Furter; Victoria Justice and Ryan McCartan will star as Janet and Brad; singer Adam Lambert will play the motorcycle-riding Eddie; and the original Frank himself, Tim Curry, makes an appearance as the criminologist that narrates

the story.

The success of the film was in part for its daring themes, but when a remake is constructed for a show like this in modern days, some of its content doesn’t have the same appeal as it would have

when it first came out.

“That was the only apprehension I really had about doing the film was the term transvestite,” Laverne Cox said in an interview at the Variety’s Power of Women Luncheon. “We

don’t use that term anymore, but in the historical context of Rocky Horror it’s appropriate you don’t change the words to an iconic song.”

Each year, theaters across the country present the

musical in an interactive way, with actors dressed up as the characters who sing and dance along with the musical numbers.

This year, the BuskirkChumley Theater will show the original “Rocky Horror

Picture Show,” at 8 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 29. Tickets are $15 for those who come in costume, and $20 for those who don’t.

Two Door Cinema Club is too niche on new album ‘GAMESHOW’ Two Door Cinema Club

C+ With the tragic deaths of David Bowie and Prince earlier this year, a plethora of underground and mainstream artists have done what they can to commemorate and honor the legacies of these artists.

Some of these, like Lady Gaga’s Bowie medley at the Grammy’s or Muse’s live

cover of Prince’s “Sign o’ the Times,” were spectacular.

Others, like Madonna’s “Rebel Rebel” live cover, fall flat.

Irish indie-rock band Two Door Cinema Club has found itself in the latter category.

Singer Alex Trimble cited Bowie and Prince as the biggest influences on their latest record “Gameshow.”

However, Two Door Cinema Club found itself so wrapped up in creating this massive homage to these two titans of music that the finished product sounds

more like a playlist of demo tracks than a complete album.

These alleged influences also sound less like homages and more like attempts by the band to become the weaker Irish equivalent to Daft Punk. Trimble’s falsetto and Kevin Baird’s overwhelming synthesizers makes this sound like a bland rehash of “Random Access Memories.”

Along with that, this album is brimming with a 1970s disco and synthpop sound. Morrissey and Duran

Duran seem to be more probable influencers than Bowie and Prince, especially on tracks like “Bad Decisions” and “Fever.”

Fortunately, there is at least some variety in genre on this record, though it’s nothing we asked for or wanted.

The title track is definitely hard rock, while “Invincible” sounds like some 1980s power ballad in the tradition of Night Ranger’s “Sister Christian” or Warrant’s “Heaven.”

Who in the world tries to copy either of those bands and thinks they’re going to produce a great song?

Of course, Two Door Cinema Club is not the only current pop group that has tried using a vintage sound to appeal to a wider audience. Artists like Jack White, Lana Del Rey and Flaming Lips have made careers through this practice.

The difference between them and this band, however, is that the former know how to balance a new

sound with a retro sound.

Two Door Cinema Club by no means created any terrible songs on this record.

Most of the tracks may even work well in a playlist with other music from the band, but as a whole album, its lack of originality, passion and dynamics doesn’t warrant it an immediate listen.
