Don’t know how to vote? Look here.

By Emily Isaacman and Carson TerBush news@idsnews.com

Voting is confusing. If you’re a college student or Monroe County resident, this quiz will help you register and plan how you’ll submit your ballot for the November election.

When deciding whether to vote in person or by mail, you’ll have to weigh con-

cerns related to contracting or spreading the coronavirus against potential delays with the U.S. Postal Service.

College students have another layer of decisions to make — they can register to vote for candidates at their home or school address.

Each state determines its own voting rules. COVID-19 has changed the way many states are running their elections.

Some state election officials are mailing every registered voter a ballot in an effort to ease COVID-19 concerns.

Indiana is not one of those states.

Indiana technically offers absentee voting, not mail-in voting, but the terms can be used interchangeably. Both involve sending in a ballot through mail.

Not everyone can vote absentee by mail here, though.

Indiana is one of just six states that requires voters to fulfill one of 11 excuses in order to successfully request an absentee ballot.

Take this quiz as many times as you’d like to determine the safest, most effective way for you to vote this year. We want you to feel confident your ballot will be counted.

And remember: Election Day is 39 days away!

Cases of the virus decrease at IU

By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

For the second straight week, IU’s COVID-19 dashboard reported a decrease in overall positivity rate in both mitigation and symptomatic testing as well as the total new cases.

IU had a 1.88% positivity rate in mitigation testing across all campuses last week, down from 3.6% the week prior. In Bloomington alone, the positivity decreased by over half compared to the week prior — from 4.61% to 2.2%.

The positivity rate among greek students living in the homes dropped to 3.3% last week from 14.6% the week before according SEE IU COVID-19, PAGE 4

AEPi put on cease, desist

By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

The Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter at IU has been given a cease and desist order, according to IU spokesperson Chuck Carney.

The cease and desist order was given Friday by IU. It is unclear at this time whether the order has to do with COVID-19 regulations.

The Monroe County Health Department said they have not shut down any houses for COVID-19 offenses.

Carney did not give further information on this order.

Jon Pierce, Alpha Epsilon Pi's national spokesperson, said the national organization is working on collecting details, but could not provide more information at this time.

Alpha Epsilon Pi has been placed on probation five times since 2016. Its offenses have consistently included alcohol, noncompliance, dishonest conduct, endangering others and harassment.

However, this is the first time further disciplinary action has been taken.

The vigil began at around 6 p.m. and disbanded at around 6:30 p.m.

Out of respect for Ginsburg’s Jewish heritage, one participant recited the Mourner’s Kaddish, a prayer spoken during the period of bereavement.

Fire destroys three houses in Bloomington

By Grace Ybarra gnybarra@iu.edu | @gnybarra

Fire trucks lined South Wickens Street on Monday, outside of where several homes once stood. Now, all that remains is ash, rubble and the smell of smoke lingering in the air.

Monroe Fire Protection District responded to a call at 1:07 p.m. about multiple houses on fire in the Highlands neighborhood off Rockport Road. Three houses caught fire, and two others had some damage.

Jason Allen, Monroe Fire Protection District public information officer, said the fire started at 3533 S. Wickens St. and spread to the two houses on each side. He said the heat then spread from those houses to two more houses, causing siding damage.

Allen said there were no reported injuries to citizens or firefighters.

The houses, however, were substantially damaged.

The house where the fire started fell to the ground because there was nothing structurally left to hold it up. All that is left standing is the garage door, which sits in front of a massive pile of burnt wood and the remnants of someone’s life.

The two neighboring houses both had severe damage, which Allen said were around 80% destroyed.

The siding on the next two houses was melted, but they were structurally stable.

“This is a significant fire,” Allen said. “A lot of times with normal house fires, it’s usually just one house that’s affected or involved.”

Allen said they had more than 25 people on the scene helping fight the fire.

He said they do not know what caused the fire yet, but investigators interviewed homeowners and observed the scene.

Melissa Chestnut, who lives around the corner from where the fire started, said she got up to walk her dogs Sadie and Emma and another dog she was watching. When she walked out of her house, she said she saw smoke, so she walked around the corner and saw the fire.

At first she thought it was a brush fire, but then she saw the flames on the side of the

Top Firefighters assess the damage to 3541 S. Wickens St. after a fire broke out. Three houses suffered at least 80% damage, according to the Monroe Fire Protection District public information officer.

house near the meters and air conditioning unit.

“I thought ‘Oh hell, I think that’s an electrical fire,’” Chestnut said.

She said she darted back to her house to drop off the dogs and when she returned, the owner of the house came out into the driveway.

“I said, ‘Your house is on fire,’” Chestnut said. “And

she turned around and she freaked, of course, like anyone would.”

Chestnut was still in her pajamas and did not have her phone with her, so she jumped out in front of a teenage girl driving a car and got her to stop and call 911.

She said she then got a man to help her go up to the neighboring houses and get

the people out and across the street. After pounding on the door, Chestnut got an elderly couple and their three dogs out of their house.

On the other side, she said they evacuated a family with five children who were all learning from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Akash Shah, who lives across the street from the

house where the fire started, said he was working from home with his wife when she noticed the fire.

“The house across the street was lit up on the side and the smoke was coming out,” Shah said.

He said he feels sorry for his neighbors who lost their houses and offered help to any of them who need it because they are a tight-knit community.

“I can’t imagine losing your house,” Shah said.

“What do you do?”

He said firefighters arrived at the scene quickly, but it took them a while to put out the fire because of how large it was and how quickly it spread.

“It’s just crazy. This whole year is crazy,” Shah said. “We thought it couldn’t get any worse.”

Allen said they are asking

anyone with photos or videos of the start of the fire to email them to investigators at admin@monroefd.org.

Shah and Chestnut both said they think it was caused by something with the electric circuit.

“There’s no gas line here in this neighborhood,” Shah said. “The only logical explanation to me would be something to do with electric.”

Although the fire destroyed several houses, both Shah and Chestnut said they are thankful no one was hurt.

“It’s not a good day because people lost a huge part of their lives,” Chestnut said. “But when you put it in perspective, that we didn’t lose any lives with the amount of destruction and damage that you have here, I call that a good day.”

Students, staff react to IU tuition rates Myers to counter sentence following August decision

By Natalie Gabor

natgabor@iu.edu | @natalie_gabor

Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, colleges and universities have been forced to alter not only their modes of instruction, but also their general business and funding practices. Because the pandemic has had negative financial effects globally, where the financial burden should lie remains a topic of debate.

After releasing the fall 2020 instruction plan, IU announced tuition would remain the same regardless of the mode of instruction, in person or online. However, if students are enrolled in entirely online classes and are not located in Bloomington, they can petition to receive a discount on mandatory fees, according to Student Central.

This petition expires Sunday.

These mandatory fees include access to the Student Recreational Sports Center and campus buses broadly, but also lab or classroom fees depending on the classes students are enrolled in. Students do not need to petition the university for fee refunds from those classes, and they are refunded through the bursar should classroom mode of instruction change or special permission be granted to attend the class remotely.

Some students have questioned university policy allowing full tuition rates to continue, but many administration staff and faculty argue regardless of the cost of attendance, students still have financial aid options.

Ron McFall is the director of the office of

scholarships at IU. He said although he’s heard some feedback from parents and students regarding tuition refunds for all-online classes, he’s heard more about potential scholarship options going forward.

“We understand that tuition rates are set by the institution, and the modalities of the courses are set independently of our decision, so we hear some of that,” he said. “I think we’ve heard more cases around personal hardship and family financial struggles than sort of outright demands for tuition reduction or more scholarships.”

Some students also said because universities owe duties to staff and faculty as well as students, lowering the cost of tuition is not always possible.

Sylvie Martin-Eberhardt is an IU senior and is currently taking all-online classes from Valparaiso, Indiana.

She said because her mother

is a professor at Valparaiso University, she understands how hard faculty work and how important it is they keep their positions, even if that means maintaining tuition rates.

“I can definitely see the argument of building fees and lab fees being refunded because we aren’t using those facilities, or not as many students are, but I also really was proud of the fact that my university was able to continue to pay everyone in the spring at least,” she said.

Martin-Eberhardt said although helping students in need should be a top priority for universities, the money should not necessarily come from within but rather the federal government.

“I appreciate their applications for emergency aid, but I know there’s a lot more to it than just being able to be housed and fed, and so I really feel like the universities are not the problem right now,” she said.

“There’s plenty of anger to go around and there’s plenty of frustration for need, and so I really feel like that energy should be put towards organizing the government helping out more.”

Other students feel tuition should be based on how many online classes you have and whether you’re in Bloomington getting the full college experience.

Zac Monroe is an IU senior taking classes entirely online. He said although his Cox Research Scholarship pays his cost of attendance, if he was not on scholarship, he would be more motivated to push for lower tuition rates.

“I think that tuition should be adjusted based on how many strictly webbased classes you have,” he said. “You’re still getting an education from trained professionals more or less on the subjects that you’re taking courses about, but you’re not getting the full immersive experience.”

A little more than a month since the reversal of an order that would have released convicted murderer John Myers from prison, the federal appellate court is allowing Myers to pursue an appeal on different grounds.

Myers was convicted in 2006 for killing IU student Jill Behrman in 2000.

Marilyn Behrman, Jill’s mother, was told about this decision Thursday, the day that would have been Jill Behrman’s 40th birthday.

“This seemingly neverending case demonstrates what it is to be a victim,” Marilyn wrote in a Friday Facebook post. “It is never over.”

In September 2019, U.S. District Court Judge James Sweeney granted Myers

a writ of habeas corpus, calling for his release saying Myers received improper council during the trial. On Aug. 4, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the order.

The appeal would be based on arguments Myers has raised alleging some evidence was withheld from the defense prior to the trial.

An amended opinion by a member of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals acknowledged they did not resolve “other, lesser alleged instances of ineffective assistance.”

The case will now go back to Sweeney and either party will be able to appeal once again to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals depending on the decision made, according to Marilyn Behrman’s post.

Here’s how one greek house will cut capacity

By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

Following a Sept. 10 message from chapter leadership to de-densify the house because of Monroe County COVID-19 regulations, 50 members of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority will voluntarily move out, according to messages sent to members and parents obtained by the Indiana Daily Student.

The message was sent Sept. 16 and included a timeline of the sorority's COVID-19 response.

Alpha Gamma Delta’s Bloomington chapter president and national organization representatives did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the IDS. The Monroe County Health Department regulated all communal housing be capped at 75%. The Monroe County Health Board knew of multiple houses operating in excess of that limit as discussed at a meeting last week.

That included Alpha Gamma Delta which, according to messages to members and parents, was at 89%.

Alpha Gamma Delta recently came off quarantine and has reported 12 total COVID-19 cases among livein members since Aug. 19, according to IU’s data. The sorority’s 10.53% positivity rate in mitigation testing is

lower relative to other houses placed on quarantine by Monroe County.

At last week’s Monroe County Health Board meeting, members stated a desire to more strongly enforce the 75% capacity limit.

“One of the best preventative measures for congregate living facilities is to reduce the amount of close contact residents have with others living in the house,” Penny Caudill, Monroe County health administration, said in an email statement to the IDS. “There can be a variety of ways to do this but it often starts with reducing the numbers of people living in the residence.”

The 50 members of Alpha Gamma Delta who requested to move out of the house will bring the total capacity of the house below 50% — which is the ultimate recommendation of Monroe County.

The chapter announced in an email that it will honor the requests for live-in members to leave the house for the rest of the semester.

It is unclear whether greek houses will open in the spring.

Alpha Gamma Delta’s message states members will be expected to move out

by Sept. 27. The members moving out will be charged a $2,445 breakage fee of the housing agreement, though room and board that has

already been paid will be credited toward that cost.

The sorority plans to supplement the remaining funds with the chapter’s savings.

As of now, those 50 members will still be expected to pay full costs for the spring semester.

Remaining members in the house have the option to

move rooms once that space opens up, according to the sorority’s message. That could be used to create more space in living arrangements for the members still in the house. The members staying in the house will continue to pay full room and board.

Alpha Gamma Delta’s message reports a maximum

occupancy of 124. Move-in occurred between Aug. 18 and Aug. 23, with 110 members moving in.

While the board has seen some houses working with the board to get the total capacity within the county’s regulation like Alpha Gamma Delta, some houses have not.

The Monroe County Health Board said last week it has worked with houses such as Alpha Gamma Delta to move below the capacity limit. However, the board said last week not every house has worked to dedensify. Houses that do not follow the county’s regulation could face legal action.

TikTok concerns linger after app ban reversal

By Helen Rummel hrummel@iu.edu | @helenrummel

Étienne Najman, IU senior and TikTok creator, breathed a sigh of relief Saturday night after learning the app would no longer be pulled from American app stores.

According to NPR, the social media platform was scheduled to be removed from app stores Sunday before the order was postponed late Saturday night when President Donald Trump approved the proposed creation of TikTok Global. This new, American-based company will include a partnership between Oracle and Walmart, but the deal is still awaiting formal approval from the Trump administration.

Najman downloaded TikTok last September. His original videos featured himself dancing in class, many receiving more than a million views.

He is now a verified creator with two million followers.

Najman said he had been considering the possibility of TikTok being banned for several months now, but was not expecting it to be removed from app stores considering the size of its American audience.

Sophomore and TikTok user Heather East also did not give the ban much thought when she first heard of it.

“I heard about it and I thought ‘Well, it’s just going to be like Flappy Bird where people keep it on their phone and then sell their phones for money,'” East said.

Now that Najman has begun his final year of college, he said TikTok has taken a backseat to other matters related to his job search in the marketing industry. However, he was glad to see the app would be staying after all.

“The idea of TikTok being banned has definitely been a hot topic for the past two or three months I want to say,” Najman said. “The first time I freaked out because all of my

following is on TikTok.” Sarah Bauerle Danzman is an IU assistant professor of international studies and spent the past year as a foreign relations international affairs fellow. She said people should still be mindful of the extent of data collection of TikTok. “TikTok collects a lot more data and a lot more problematic data than even the other worst offenders out there like Instagram or Facebook,” Bauerle Danzman said.

Bauerle Danzman said TikTok has collected clipboard data in the past, which includes passwords or credit card information. This data is directly connected with whatever device it is taken from. Bauerle Danzman said there is nothing the user can do to stop this kind of surveillance. She said even though the company promised to improve these practices, this still may not repair the damages.

“TikTok says that they’ve cleaned up their act, but one of the problems is that because they have a track record of collecting data that they’re not supposed to, there’s a lack of trust there,” Bauerle Danzman said.

Najman said he recognizes data is being collected from him, but is not particularly worried.

“Data is the new thing everyone wants,” Najman said.

“I don’t really care, like you can have my location and who I talk to. If you want to blackmail me, that’s fine, but I’ve accepted it at this point so it doesn’t really matter to me.”

Bauerle Danzman also addressed concerns of censorship taking place on the platform globally. She said there are allegations that TikTok’s algorithm suppresses LGBTQ content.

Najman said he is also suspicious of censorship taking place on the platform as a creator. The process is colloquially referred to on the app as ‘shadowbanning.’ Najman said his content received a lot of attention until he signed up for the TikTok Creator Fund, which would allow him to earn money from the views his videos received.

“Myself and a lot of other people noticed that after they signed up for the creator fund, our numbers dropped,” Najman said.

Najman said he even

deleted videos that were not performing well. He estimates that many of his videos received less than 100,000 views, which is a steep decline in comparison to his previous videos receiving more than 300,000 views consistently. Since then, Najman has left the creator fund in hopes of recovering his views, but he has yet to see a change in numbers.

Najman also said he would not be surprised if TikTok was censoring content through shadowbans, particularly content related to the LGBTQ community or the Black Lives Matter movement.

“Everything is a gray area with TikTok,” Najman said.

“You never know what they’re doing.”

Even with its shortcomings, Najman said he considers TikTok to be an important part of college culture and plans on continuing to upload videos as long as he can.

“I feel like it definitely is an integral part of life,” Najman said. “It’s kind of like you’re left out of a whole part of what’s going on if you’re not on TikTok.”

The American Red Cross is experiencing challenges maintaining a stable blood supply during the COVID-19 pandemic, with businesses and community organizations restricting the number of people at their locations, leading many blood drives to be canceled, the American Red Cross said in a press release in June.

The American Red Cross is working with IU’s School of Medicine to organize blood drives, but the university’s precautions have limited their ability to hold events, said junior Rachel Ramos, an intern in promotions and marketing for the American Red Cross.

“We’re talking with the School of Medicine to see if we can do it in the safest way possible, but we’re not sure if we’ll even be able to host one,” Ramos said.

The American Red Cross is unsure if they will be able to have any on campus blood drives this semester, Ramos said. IU students contribute greatly to American Red Cross

blood drives, generally providing 200-300 units of blood every semester, which is about 30% of total donations, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said.

Students can still give blood at off-campus locations including the Bloomington Blood Donation Center and the First Presbyterian Church, according to the American Red Cross website.

The American Red Cross has taken steps to adhere to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and has incorporated safety precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, according to the press release.

Even as some outside events resume at IU, the drives will have to be indoors, as outdoor blood drives are against American Red Cross policies, Ramos said.

People wanting to donate are asked to schedule an appointment in advance and are required to wear face masks, and donors’ and workers’ temperatures will be taken and equipment disinfected, according to the press release.

TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA

Trump brings all federal executions to Indiana. We must abolish them.

By Kyle Linder and Peyton Jeffers opinion@idsnews.com | @idsnews

The United States Department of Justice announced its intention to resume capital punishment for federal inmates last year. After various courts temporarily blocked the measure, the first federal execution in 17 years occurred just two months ago. Since then, the Trump administration has executed four inmates and plans to execute two more before the end of this week.

All seven will have taken place on Indiana soil at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute.

The very same day this article was published, Sept. 22, the Trump administration executed William Emmett Lecroy.

On Sept. 20, families of several death row inmates and activists opposing the death penalty rallied at the Vigo County Courthouse, just a few miles away from the federal penitentiary. The rally was organized by Yvette Allen, the sister of death row inmate Billie Allen.

Around 30 people gathered under the imposing 196-foot tall courthouse to listen to speakers, which included Rodrick Reed, the brother of high-profile death row inmate Rodney Reed.

“We have taken so much pride in saying that justice is blind that we have erected statues of a woman blindfolded,” Allen told the crowd.

“Yet, we ask Lady Justice to be the seeker of truth when she is unable to see the deception and lies that take place right in front of her. She has been purposely blindfolded to keep her from seeing the full truth.”

The death penalty is an immoral and barbaric practice, born out of the most base instinct of American nature — violent and repressive racism. For the victims’ families, the falsely accused and the sanity of our country, the death penalty must be abolished.

From death row in the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Billie Allen maintains his innocence and describes the uncertainty of his and other inmates’ futures as they are moved to the “death watch range.”

“You get no warning, nothing,” he wrote in a July letter to the Marshall Project. “They just show up at your door and tell you to cuff up.

They meet your questions about where you are going with silence, but that silence says it all.”

Allen is a visual artist, writer and poet. He is a son, brother, cousin, uncle and friend highly regarded as loving and loyal to those who knew him prior to his conviction.

In 1997, Allen was convicted and sentenced to death for armed bank robbery and the murder of a security guard in St. Louis. No forensic evidence ties him to the crime, and

PEYTON JEFFERS | IDS

Signs with messages protesting the federal execution of Billie Allen are seen in front of the Vigo County Courthouse on Sept. 20 in Terre Haute, Indiana. Allen was convicted and sentenced to the federal death penalty for a 1997 armed robbery and murder of bank security guard Richard Heflin in St. Louis, Missouri, despite no forensic evidence tying him to the crime.

his appeals for justice have been exhausted. No one knows which inmate will be summoned next.

“The system is broken, and it’s been proven,” Yvette Allen said.

“Even just this past week three people were exonerated from death row. For whatever reason, it’s taken people 20-plus years for their evidence to be seen, and they’ve been found to be innocent.”

Just five days before his scheduled execution date in November 2019, the Court of Criminal Appeals in Texas halted the execution of Rodney Reed, a man convicted for the rape and murder of Stacey Stites more than 20 years ago. The decision came amid widespread calls from celebrities, lawmakers and activists to indefinitely stay the execution and review substantial, new evidence in the case asserting his innocence.

Reed’s family now spearheads the Reed Justice Initiative, a movement standing in solidarity with death penalty abolitionists and families with wrongfully convicted loved ones.

“Abolish the death penalty — state and federal executions,” Rodrick Reed demanded at the rally.

“Nobody has the right to take another life.”

There are currently 57 inmates on federal death row and after Sept.

24, that number will be down to 55.

Before 2020, the federal government had carried out 37 executions since 1927, establishing this year as the deadliest one yet. Twenty-six of the inmates on death row are Black, while seven are Latinx and one is Asian. All told, more than half of those on federal death row are minorities — a stark and disturbing reality.

“No matter if they’re killing us out on the street, through mass incarceration or with the death penalty, it’s all the same system.”

Kwame Shakur, Free Them All Rainbow coalition activist

Since 1973, 172 former death row prisoners have been exonerated. The majority of them were Black, an indictment of the racial disparities and racism plaguing our criminal justice system. As we abolish the death penalty on moral grounds, we must also remember many have been sentenced to death on false charges due simply to the color of their skin.

Just like malevolent police murders, executions are yet another ex-

ercise in state murder at the hands of our justice system and current administration. Let us not forget President Donald Trump himself called for the death penalty after the Central Park Five were falsely convicted in 1989, suggesting a perverted urge for state violence. Even after they were exonerated, he refused to apologize as recently as 2019.

The death penalty is a reflection of our troubling prison industrial complex and the misguided mindset that created it. With the highest per capita incarceration rate in the world, the U.S. spends $182 billion annually on its incarceration system. We have destroyed countless individuals, families and communities through this web of oppression.

“No matter if they’re killing us out on the street, through mass incarceration or with the death penalty, it’s all the same system,” said Kwame Shakur, an activist with the Free Them All Rainbow coalition which seeks to release prisoners during the COVID-19 pandemic.

By dedicating so much to mass incarceration and militarized policing, we have deprived communities and ourselves of the resources needed to stake out a dignified life.

The death penalty is the inevitable culmination of a culture that pushes its problems out of sight and into the hands of an authoritarian gov-

ernment.

“You have to think about, for example, education,” Yvette Allen said. “It’s hard for a person even with a degree to get employment at this point, just imagine someone without a good education and then a Black male getting a position. It’s almost impossible, so they commit these crimes. I’m not condoning it, but it’s a part of why these things happen.”

The billions of dollars we spend on incarceration, policing and even the military would be of far more use if invested in education, affordable housing, healthcare, community centers and job training. Yet we decry these ideas as too expensive.

Meanwhile, major cities spend $115 billion a year on policing, making U.S. police forces the third-most expensive military in the world — behind only China’s and our own. The U.S is a police state, and we allow it to be.

When Attorney General William Barr announced the resumption of federal executions, he said thee Trump administration sought to uphold law and order. Let’s be clear: This is fascism. It is an attempt to stifle dissent and signal the government’s conclusive power over those they govern. When we give the government the right to execute its citizens, we consent to the extrajudicial murders it perpetrates within our borders and around the globe.

“By using the death penalty, even executing innocent people, they say, ‘You can never change the system. No matter what we do just bow down and accept it,’” Shakur said. “But we have to change this system.”

The death penalty is not a viable form of crime control and denies the values and civil liberties upheld by our democracy. In practice, it grants us the power to kill human beings with the same drug, pentobarbital, administered to euthanize our pets. It is a cruel and degrading punishment that dehumanizes this country’s citizens.

The fight for those on death row has never been more urgent with the recent reinstatement of the death penalty. In pursuit of justice, a petition has been created to help free Billie Allen before he is called for execution. With victims of the prison industrial complex in mind, we must strive toward a justice system free from capital punishment.

“As the years went on, we realized there’s a million more Rodney Reeds out there, and the fight has not just become a fight to save my brother but a fight to help change the world,” Rodrick Reed said.

“We realized it’s a lifelong fight, and we’ve been striving to get justice wherever we can, whenever we can.”

Students balance classes and online art business

By Haley Ryan haryan@iu.edu | @haley_ryan

In a time where everything is moving online, two IU students are taking advantage of online platforms to sell their artwork during classes.

Dayanna Moreno and Isabelle Davis use platforms such as Twitter and Instagram to advertise their artwork and conduct business.

Moreno, a sophomore studying dietetics, creates a variety of personalized products for customers, such as canvas paintings, portraits, custom water bottles and is working on expanding her business to include painted shoes. The most popular items in her shop are acrylic canvases, portraits of customers’ friends and customizable water bottle paintings.

“It just depends on what the person wants,” Moreno said.

“I learned to wear my art, if that makes sense. I also give it to my friends so they promote for me, like a walking billboard.”

Dayanna Moreno, IU sophomore

Moreno started to become more serious about art her freshman year of high school when she began painting murals for her school. During her senior year of high school, Moreno started selling her artwork and creating commissioned pieces for customers and friends through her online business using her Twitter @ArtDayanna and her Instagram @ art.dayanna.m.

She takes commissions through direct messages or texts from people who know her personally.

Moreno said surprisingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive impact on her business.

“I got a lot of college students ordering paintings or water bottles for the next year to decorate the room,” Moreno said. “So it actually kind of, in a way, helped me.”

Moreno’s pieces are made after drawing inspiration from provided images and natural elements. She said she likes to mix fantasy with reality, as well as planets, flowers and colors in her work. She always asks her customers if it’s OK before she adds in some of her own style and ideas.

Dayanna Moreno is one of two IU students who has used platforms such as Twitter and Instagram to advertise her artwork and conduct business outside of her classes, such as the paintings seen here.

In the future, Moreno said she plans to expand her business and sell work nationally. She also hopes to be able to make more money for her work, considering the amount of time put into each piece.

Moreno said business has been a little slower this semester due to the added responsibilities of classwork and a delay in commissions.

“Coming back to IU is a little hard just because I need to place time in my schedule to paint and draw,” Moreno said.

Moreno promotes her art in several ways, online and on the streets.

“I learned to wear my art, if that makes sense,” Moreno said. “I also give it to my friends so they promote

for me, like a walking billboard.”

Isabelle Davis, a sophomore studying studio art at IU, has also been running an online art business since her junior year of high school.

“I’ve always drawn and like doodled in grade school,” Davis said.

“But I started to take it more seriously when I got into high school, and there were more art classes offered to me.”

Davis’s business is split between in-person orders from friends and family and online orders from her Instagram account. Davis also plays in a band, where she sells art with her band’s merchandise in person.

Davis primarily sells paintings, which is her preferred medium, but she also sells drawings and design

work. Davis said she feels more inspired when there’s a lot going on in her life.

“When I have things going on, art is what I can fall back onto and use as a relaxation method,” Davis said.

When creating art, Davis prefers to visualize her associations with the prompt she was given by a customer. She then works on preliminary sketches, adding and subtracting elements as she sees fit.

“Whenever I sit down and plan it never really comes out how I initially thought it would,” Davis said. “Through the process, you kind of get a feeling of what is wrong and what is right and you’re putting it down on paper.”

As an artist, Davis said her goals

were to create work that speaks to others and adds to the world, making it just a little more interesting. As for her art style, Davis describes it as ever changing. Like Moreno, Davis loves colors, but she describes her artwork as abstract. Sometimes, she goes into realism.

Davis uses her Instagram account @izartart to advertise and sell her work, and she plans to eventually set up a website. Davis is also a full-time student so she has to manage her time between classes and working on commissions.

“It’s something to juggle,” Davis said. “But since I’m in art school, it kind of feels like I get to go to school, doing what I like to do. It’s enjoyable for me.”

Report finds ‘pattern of white supremacist sentiment’ at IU, urges institutional intervention White supremacist activity and recruitment on campus is reportedly on the rise.

By Kaitlyn Radde kradde@iu.edu | @kaityradde

No Space For Hate, a local group working to fight white supremacy, released a report in July about white supremacist recruitment at IU. The report found incidents of racism and white supremacy have rapidly increased on campus since 2017. NSFH predicts racist violence will continue to escalate unless it is aggressively, proactively and institutionally combatted.

There are more than 10 highly active white supremacist groups operating in and around IU’s campus, NSFH found. Bloomington is a strategic recruitment hub, and NSFH said white supremacist recruitment efforts have gone largely unimpeded by both the university and the police.

White supremacist activity has “exploded” since 2017, when Identity Evropa members flyered IU’s campus, and is continuing to intensify, said RG Reynolds, a researcher at NSFH. Identity Evropa placed fliers on the doors of faculty of color, indicating white supremacist groups were surveilling and tracking them.

The report made recommendations to help IU mitigate these problems and protect students. These recommendations were presented to the university this summer, but it is unclear whether and to what extent each will be implemented.

Kathy Adams-Riester, associate vice provost for student affairs, said the university is taking action on all of the recommendations in the report, but different ones are in different stages of development.

When asked, Adams-Riester did not elaborate on any specifics, saying much of this was not in her department’s control.

“I can’t stress enough how clear it is that Jim Crow did not leave the state of Indiana, and that the city of Bloomington is the epicenter of [another] rising,” Reynolds said.

No Space For Hate’s recommendations NSFH’s report emphasized how urgent the problem of white supremacy on campus is, and that treating white supremacist speech like other forms of speech is irresponsible because it could lead to violence.

The group’s first recommendation is to prioritize the physical safety of students, especially students who belong to targeted groups such as Black and Indigenous people, other people of color, LGBTQ people, disabled people and some religious communities. The physical safety of all of these groups is jeopardized by the presence of white supremacists and other farright groups.

NSFH also recommended a mandatory anti-racist curriculum, which the university appears to be working toward. It recommended an increase in mental health resources for those who experience racism on campus and for Counseling and Psychological Services counselors to receive training on how to counsel students who are members of hate groups. While the Pandemic Health Disparities Fund has mental health resources for students of color, it does not address the anti-racist dimensions of NSFH’s recommendation.

Various anti-racist initiatives on campus p mayy be fulfillingg parts p of

NSFH’s eight recommendations, but most do not address the deep, structural issues that the recommendations urge the university to address. While there are various levels of action being taken on each of the suggestions, Adams-Riester said any concrete steps remain largely unclear.

Adams-Riester also said not all university anti-racist initiatives stem from the report. IU spokesperson Chuck Carney pointed out IU President Michael McRobbie took some tangible steps to implement anti-racist initiatives before the report’s release.

With regard to NSFH’s recommendation that the university not allow scholars with ties to white nationalist organizations or whose work propagates racist ideas on campus, AdamsRiester said, “We have this thing called the First Amendment that allows people to come and share different types of ideas.”

“There are parties across IU that have signaled a strong desire to implement all of the recommendations that we have made,” Reynolds said. “The question is whether that is possible.

And the question is whether there is enough political will from people in the highest echelons of the university administration.”

NSFH’s report emphasized the difference between free speech and hate speech. Although hate speech is protected by the First Amendment, white supremacist propaganda and recruitment are violent at their core, and white supremacist rhetoric seeks to reinforce racial hierarchy.

Racist incidents on the rise, likely underreported Occurrences of racism are on the rise on campuses nationwide, and NSFH’s report showed IU is part of this trend. In 2019 alone, there were at least seven incidents of white supremacist propaganda on IU’s campus or in its digital spaces.

Instructors, especially instructors of color, have reported an increase in racist incidents in the classroom since 2017. NSFH’s report found faculty, staff and students may be underreporting incidents of bias because of a lack of clarity about how reporting works and what its outcomes are.

Since IU moved classes and events largely to Zoom in March, there have been multiple incidents of racist Zoombombing. The first was the IU Student Government town hall that was shut down in April when Zoombombers interrupted the meeting with racial slurs and pornography.

Since the beginning of the fall 2020 semester, there have been similar incidents of Zoombombing targeting Black and Muslim student organizations. The university said it is investigating these events.

“These are neither individual incidents nor ‘a few bad apples’ rather, we contend they evidence a pattern of white supremacist sentiment that must be addressed at the institutional level,” NSFH’s report reads.

Potential for violence at IU NSFH predicts racist Zoombombing will continue and far-right groups will increase their efforts to dox faculty, staff and students.

Since the death of George Floyd in May, which sparked a national upheaval on racism and police brutality, there have been 66 vehicular attacks on Black Lives Matter protesters p and

related political rallies and protests, according to the report. Four of those attacks were in Indiana, and two were in Bloomington.

“The university needs to move on this before this becomes a serious outbreak of violence,” Reynolds said.

“There will be violence. We have already seen it.”

With the election coming up, the university needs to closely monitor the potential threat of white supremacist activity on campus, she said.

Reynolds expressed concern about disruption of on-campus events that have to do with voting, voter registration or addressing concerns about the election. She predicted more rightwing protests will occur, and individuals might carry weapons and provoke the kind of conflicts that have been seen at prior protests.

The explicit sexual harassment of protesters who are women and students who are women by right-wing protesters is also a problem Reynolds saw in Bloomington and expects will continue.

Investigating IU police The report cited FBI evidence of connections between the police and white supremacist groups nationwide.

Given this evidence, NSFH recommended IU conduct an investigation to ensure the IU Police Department does not have officers who are members of hate groups or white supremacist groups. It also recommended IU establish civilian oversight for IUPD. IUPD lacks transparency and has no external oversight, Reynolds said.

When police organizations don’t vet candidates for possible connections to white supremacist groups, she said, there is an increased possibility of racist bias and violence.

“These are neither individual incidents nor ‘a few bad apples’ rather, we contend they evidence a pattern of white supremacist sentiment that must be addressed at the institutional level.”

From No Space for Hate’s report

Carney pointed to the Chief Community Advisory Board as one of many things IUPD has done in regard to issues of race and bias. However, this board has no oversight, investigative or disciplinary power, and its meetings are closed to board members.

As for off-campus policing, Bloomington Police Department Chief Mike Diekhoff denied the presence of systemic racism within his department.

He later said that he misspoke, but he has shot down the idea of vetting candidates for ties to white supremacist groups. This attitude is a cause for concern for NSFH. In the organization’s experience, police across central and southern Indiana have not taken white supremacy seriously.

“It is crucial that we not allow people who have been maintaining covert relationships with white supremacist organizations and with webpages that promote violence against activists,, against g Black p people p and against g

Muslims into a space where they are allowed to use deadly force,” Reynolds said.

White supremacist recruitment on campus The Ku Klux Klan and the Proud Boys are likely the best-known white supremacist recruiters on campus, but white students are being recruited by more than 10 white supremacist groups and militias. A growing number of white students identify as members of these groups, and some have attempted to recruit their classmates.

NSFH recommended IU expel these students.

The report also drew attention to Turning Point USA. TPUSA is a rightwing group that is not classified as white supremacist, but some of its leaders have expressed public support for members of the boogaloo movement, which is a militia movement that seeks to replace the American government with a white fascist ethnostate.

TPUSA is funded by the Koch Brothers Foundation, which also donates substantial amounts to the Kelley School of Business. At least four members of TPUSA attend the Kelleyy School of Business, NSFH found.

NSFH recommended IU cut ties with the Koch Brothers Foundation and ensure TPUSA members understand that support for the boogaloo movement is support for domestic terrorism.

White supremacist recruitment at IU is usually relatively easy to identify, Reynolds said, but she provided some tips for students who want to know the signs.

A common tactic for white supremacist recruitment on campus is for someone in a suit to try to hand you a business card, Reynolds said.

They might use terms like “our folk” or “our people” and appeal to the need to preserve Western culture and the superiority of Western civilization. Theyy will use phrases that suggest they are interested in the creation of a white ethnostate and violence against marginalized groups, but they will denyy that is their goal.

To identify symbols you should be on the lookout for in Bloomington specifically, NSFH published a flier showing the insignias for white supremacist groups that are active at and around IU. Note: The report’s data and terminology The data in NSFH’s report camee from public posts by members of whitee supremacist groups and accounts off individuals’ experiences on campus.

These were used to determine the extentt of the presence of the groups and who the major players are.

The NSFH research division also spoke to administrators to determinee the threats on and around campus, something the group had not seen thee university do.

In the report, white supremacist iss used as an umbrella label that refers to individuals and groups that seek to elevate and maintain white racial dominance, but white supremacy is a deeperr and more systemic phenomenon.

White nationalist groups, which aree one type of white supremacist group, seek the creation of a white ethnostatee by segregation or genocide. This articlee uses the umbrella term white supremacist throughout. g

Return of IU football impacts restaurants

By Patrick Felts @patfelts@iu.edu | @patrickjfelts

Last month, the Big Ten announced it would be postponing football season, leaving Bloomington without IU football for the first time since 1890.

The city, fans and university communities were prepared for the reality of a football-free fall, until the Big Ten reversed course last week, announcing the return of football to campuses across the conference.

Prior to the season returning, Bloomington businesses were expecting significant financial losses without football. Despite football’s return, without fans being allowed to attend games, these businesses will still experience some of those losses.

“When the season resumes Oct. 24, spectators will not be allowed, so we can not expect the impact that the football season has traditionally had on tourism spending, ” said Yaël Ksander, City of Bloomington communications director, in an email. “Meantime, the city of Bloomington is implementing a number of measures to stimulate the downtown restaurant/retail economy, included expanded seating in the right of way, including several blocks of Kirkwood over the weekends and parklets in front of numerous restaurants and free 15-minute parking to facilitate easy take-out meal pickup.”

ETHAN LEVY | IDS

Restaurants line Kirkwood Avenue on Sept. 12. Due to the IU football season being postponed, the street was mostly empty at what would be the start of IU’s game against Western Kentucky University.

With a season back in place, many Bloomington businesses are expecting their crowds to pick back up with IU students and local IU football fans looking for a place to watch the game.

With fans not allowed in the stadium, the market for restaurants and bars to watch the game at will be huge.

“During home game Saturdays, we’ll typically have a wait of 30-40 minutes or

Horoscope

longer to get a table,” said Pete Mikolaitis, general manager at Nick’s English Hut. “Nick’s is very fortunate to have passionate IU fans, even during road games. We typically see good business with the building almost reaching capacity during the game. Most people are there to watch the game, but also enjoy the upbeat atmosphere among other diehard IU fans.”

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is an 8 — Home and family take priority. Adapt to new circumstances. Adjust domestic spaces to work for each housemate. Keep clearing clutter. Pass on extra stuff.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7 — Relax. Practice simple frugality. Exchange resources.

Trade, barter and give things away.

Use what you’ve kept hidden. You can get what you need.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 6 — Enjoy your private bubble. Quiet your mind to recharge. Review and update plans.

Adapt to recent changes. Rituals soothe your spirit. Rest and relax.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7 — Seek out clarity.

Research the back story. News sound bites could miss the bigger picture. Get feedback from respected sources. Study the issues.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 9 — Advance a personal cause without forcing things. Flow like water around obstacles. Remain willing to learn, and abandon expectations. Take charge. You’re empowered.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7 — Community connection satisfies a natural desire to contribute. Check in with neighbors and friends. Listen to intuition.

Share resources and news around the circle.

While football brings a spike in business to Bloomington restaurants, that also means for hectic days for service workers. ”From a business perspective, football games are very tough on us,” said Ed Schwartzman, co-owner of BuffaLouie’s. “They put an enormous strain on our staff, equipment and store.

The seven or eight home games each year are easily

in our top ten days of the year in terms of revenue, and we desperately need that revenue to keep the lights on, but those eight days are eight days of insanity.”

However, not every local establishment has been around long enough to have the packed football crowds of other restaurants.

While places like Nick’s and BuffaLouie’s are viewed

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 — A professional challenge has your focus. Recent changes have shuffled the cards, and new options open now. Choose with logic rather than emotion.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 7 — Adapt shared finances to new circumstances. Keep contributing as you can. Discover resources where least expected.

as Bloomington establishments, having been favorites of alumni since their college days at IU, newer restaurants are still trying to break onto the scene. Without fans this season, they may get their opportunity.

“We are still young enough that we still don’t have a heavy following for people coming here for sporting events simply to watch,” said Martin Moore, Fat Dan’s Chicago Style Deli’s general manager. “Last year as we started to grow to our then peak, we started to have people come in to watch basketball and baseball games. I could theoretically see some of that growth continuing in the football season, especially if there are no fans in the stands and more people are looking for places to find a televised event.”

With the football season finally returning, many Bloomington restaurants will rely on the economic boost from football to help soften the financial losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses and the city are counting on locals and students to support the local economy.

“We hope that members of our community also step up to the extent they can afford to support our local restaurants and retail sector to help compensate for the loss of revenues these venues could expect during a normal fall season,” Ksander said.

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN

A clueless sports fan recreates Truist Park’s Burgerizza Bradley Hohulin is a sophomore in marketing.

I worry that by mocking the various culinary oddities of the sports world, I come across like the boy who cried wolf. Mac N Cheese Balls, Apple Pie Nachos and Battle Red Tacos certainly push the envelope of sound dietary practice, but I survived them painlessly.

Now, hailing from the Atlanta Braves’ Truist Park, the proverbial wolf has arrived.

Nearly every corral at your local 4-H fair is represented in the Burgerizza, a 20-ounce beef patty laden with five pieces of cheddar cheese and bacon sandwiched between two 8-inch pepperoni pizzas.

As repulsive as this seems, there’s something immediately alluring about the word Burgerizza. It’s a haunting siren song echoing across a rippling sea of

partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. My quest to answer this call led me to Jim Lahey’s noknead overnight pizza dough recipe, a mixture of all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, salt and water. I coaxed the dough into two small circles slightly larger than hamburger buns. Both received a smattering of sauce that I made by combining tomato sauce, garlic salt, dried basil leaves, oregano and sugar.

Even though I slashed the portion size roughly in half, I still had to scour most of Kroger’s meat and dairy aisles.

First came a block of lowmoisture mozzarella, which I cut into thin slivers. The preshredded variety comes coated in potato starch and therefore does not melt together effectively, robbing a potentially perfect pie of its coveted cheese stretch.

In lieu of pepperoni, I used thin slices of a turkey kielbasa.

That isn’t a secret kitchen maneuver or anything, it just happened to be on sale. The most appalling aspect of this meal is that I actually had to spend money to make it, so I wasn’t going to break the bank for little patches of cured salami. After dusting the bottoms of each pizza with flour, I slid them onto a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 500 degrees, the hottest my oven could muster.

My attention then shifted to the stovetop, where I had begun heating a dollop of oil in a wide pan. Burgers are best served grilled, but the indoor method sufficed. I slapped two immense patties on the skillet, letting them develop a faint crust before flipping.

Next came the bacon, for which I again chose a turkey substitute. Turkey bacon does not get as crispy as pork, but it tends to be thicker and doesn’t

curl up like a dollar bill in a clothes dryer. Once the burgers had firmed up, I covered them in thin slices of cheddar cheese and stacked them so the residual heat and grease could aid the melting process.

I retrieved the pizzas after 10 minutes, at which point they no longer smelled of yeast but had yet to become Italianstyle hockey pucks. As soon as I nestled the two-story burger tower atop its foundation, there was no going back. The prettier of the two pizzas formed the top bun, and my Frankenstein’s monster was brought to life.

Gazing upon my plate, I endured a flood of emotions, none of them remotely close to pride or joy. Truthfully, I felt ashamed. All I wanted to do was call my parents and apologize to them for ever believing in me. But the time for repentance was long past.

BRADLEY HOHULIN | IDS

but this perverse amalgam of two wholesome comfort foods has no place in the kitchen.

The Burgerizza rattles your perception of reality almost as hard as it does your intestinal tract. It will make a god-fearing man question his faith and a staunch atheist seek religion. It does not respond to reason. It does not ascribe to any law, be it of man or nature. It is entropy incarnate, the unavoidable final destination on a path of infinite chaos.

The Burgerizza is not good.

The Burgerizza is not evil. The Burgerizza simply is.

That night, I stared into the eyes of gluttony, with its pepperoni pupils and bacon lashes dripping with greasy tears. A shudder coursed along my spine as I bit down. I experienced flavors that were simultaneously familiar yet foreign. I recognized warm, chewy pizza dough and a juicy cheeseburger, but everything was a bit off. Following a few pensive mouthfuls, I arrived at a somber conclusion. The issue is not that there is too much dough or cheese or burger. There is just too much.

I’m enough of a heathen to believe there is room in American cuisine for ground beef on pizza or marinara on a burger,
