An IU student was arrested Friday after he allegedly brought a friend to his apartment and raped her.

James McGovern, 21, is charged with rape and criminal confinement.

The 21-year-old victim initially reported the rape Wednesday to Bloomington police and decided to press charges the next day, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Pam Gladish said.

Early Wednesday morning, the victim was at a bar downtown where she met McGovern, a friend, she told police. Eventually, he asked her to go back to his apartment on the 600 block of North College Avenue.

At the apartment, he led her into the bedroom and began to aggressively kiss her, which made her uncomfortable, she said. Then he pushed her with both hands onto the bed and forced her to have sex.

During the rape, she repeatedly told him to stop, Gladish said. The victim said McGovern responded by saying, “It’ll be alright” and “I won’t tell anyone.”

When McGovern finished raping her, he took her to the front door and pushed her outside, she told police.

She contacted a friend, who took her to Bloomington Hospital, where a rape kit was done.

McGovern agreed to meet Friday with a detective at his apartment, Gladish said. He was then taken to BPD headquarters, where he declined to speak and was arrested. He was taken to the Monroe County Correctional Center, where he’s held without bond.

5 tickets kick off 2017 IUSA election The deadline for ticket filings was extended until 5 p.m. today.

By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjoT

Following an unprecedented number of party filings and over a hundred individual applications for IUSA members, the 2017 IU Student Association election commission extended its filing deadline until 5 p.m. today.

Five separate party tickets, Empower IU, Engage with IUSA, Focus for IUSA, Refund Supreme and IGNITE all filed at or before the 6 p.m. deadline last Thursday, election commission marketing co-chair Hannah Eaton said.

Last year only three parties ran, and even fewer ran in the past, Eaton said.

“I think it’s going to make for a really interesting election year, and I think we might see an increase in complaints with the sheer number of tickets,” she said.

Bathrooms for everyone?

Transgender, non-binary students discuss bathroom concerns

By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu | @hannahboufford

A

s a non-binary student, freshman Spencer Biery identifies outside of traditional gender norms, which are based on the idea that there are only two genders: male and female.

Even months after former President Obama issued a letter to public schools directing them to allow students to use preferred bathrooms based on their gender identity, restrooms are still a prevalent issue in Biery’s life.

“They say you can use whichever one you’re comfortable with,” Biery said. “And I’m not comfortable going into a restroom with a bunch of guys, but I also know that if I went into a female restroom -- which I also don’t really identify with -- people would cause even more of a ruckus.”

Biery prefers they/them/their pronouns and lives in Collins Living Learning Center.

They tend to use the men’s bathroom on their dorm floor because that is where they feel they blend in best.

Non-binary people often feel uncomfortable and unsure when using a bathroom labeled strictly male or female. According to the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality, 59 percent of respondents said they had

avoided using public restrooms in the past year out of fear of confrontations and other problems.

Barry Magee, the associate director for selection, diversity and inclusion at RPS, is working to fix this issue. Over 10 years ago, Magee started meeting with students who identify outside of the gender binary to ask their priorities in housing to feel more comfortable on campus.

“The number one thing that they talked about was bathrooms,” he said.

Since this initial meeting, Magee has helped to renovate residence halls and create all-gender bathrooms, also known as gender neutral bathrooms, wherever possible. He said it is an expensive task to renovate the residence halls due to the original plumbing in the buildings.

However, the decision was made years ago to spend several million dollars renovating all of the bathrooms in Teter and McNutt quads.

Other dorms on campus have been incorporated into a long-range plan for different bathroom styles. In the meantime, Magee said the signs on already-existing, public, single stalls have been changed to all-gender.

“It was easy for us to do, and it was the right thing,” he said.

Magee said the existence of all-gender bathrooms benefits everyone, from nonbinary students to fathers visiting their

daughters on an all-girl floor.

All-gender bathrooms make the transition from a home to a college dorm. Though students still have to walk down the hallway to a bathroom, Magee said this was the case even in his home.

“But at least when I got there, I could lock the door,” he said. “My sixty friends didn’t walk in on me.”

The all-gender bathroom at the LGBTQ+ Culture Center acts as a safe place for people to bind themselves, director Doug Bauder said. Binding is when a person born female wraps their chest to make it appear that they no longer have breasts.

“There aren’t lots and lots of people that are transgender, but there are people that are, and providing for their needs is important,” he said.

Jingbo Li, a transgender female from China, said she didn’t even realize there were allgender bathrooms on campus.

“I didn’t have any clear signal or direction to the gender neutral bathrooms, so I think maybe it’s a little bit hard to find,” she said. “I didn’t even hear of that.”

Li, a freshman studying psychology, said she had her first experience in an all-gender bathroom over winter break and felt more SEE BATHROOMS, PAGE 5

WOMEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING

IU finishes second at Big Ten Championships

By Ben Portnoy bmportno@iu.edu | @bportnoy15

If someone needed a boost, the team picked them up. If someone needed a kick in the butt, they got it.

If someone needed a hug, they got a hug. The team was just on point, IU swimming coach Ray Looze said.

The IU women’s swim and dive team ended the 2017 Big Ten Championships in second place with 1,125 points, and picked up eight gold medals and one silver medal throughout the week.

“Well the bus ride home this time was a lot better than it was last year,” sophomore Lilly King said.

“We were definitely a lot more excited with our finish just because the meet was so close this time around and I think we were really able to come together as a team.”

The Hoosiers concluded the five-day competition Saturday with four titles on the day. It marked the end of a highly successful week that included six athletes being named First-Team All-Big Ten. King was the swimmer of the week after winning three individual titles, a gold medal in the 400-yard medley relay and a silver in the 200yard medley relay. King was named Swimmer of the Championships for her performance throughout the meet.

“I think my races were much harder this year than they were last just due to the competition that I

had that wasn’t there last year,” King said. “So I was just really glad to be able to go best times and pull out the three wins.”

The highlight of King’s week came Friday night in the 100-yard breaststroke, an event she has dominated all season. King broke her American and NCAA record with a 56.30. The meet also marked the second time King has swept the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke events at Big Tens.

Other swimmers of note were senior Gia Dalesandro and junior Kennedy Goss. Dalesandro won the 100- and 200-yard butterfly, the latter for the fourth year in a row.

Dalesandro was the first Hoosier to win an individual event four times and only 15th person in conference history to do so.

“That was awesome.” Dalesandro said. “That was one of my goals of the season, so to get that kind of out of the way, it was a big relief but super exciting at the same time, and I’m really happy with it.”

Dalesandro also faced Ohio State’s Zhesi Li, who finished second in the 100-yard butterfly. Li was previously suspended for two years after testing positive for EPO, the same substance Lance Armstrong used during his infamous cycling career. Looze compared the matchup to that of King’s high profile battle with Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova at the Rio Olympics.

“She’s big and strong and for

Gia, all of 5’5” Gia, to take her out and the way she did it just shooting out front, I mean that was a spectacular swim that just electrified the team,” Looze said.

Goss claimed her third career Big Ten Championship with a Big Ten meet record of 1:50.95 in the 200-yard backstroke. Both swimmers were named First-Team AllBig Ten. However, the Hoosiers’ success was not limited to the pool. Junior Jessica Parratto took home the 10-meter platform title with a score of 378.60. Parratto won the same title in 2015 but could not defend her crown last year because she elected to take an Olympic redshirt.

The Hoosiers will now play the waiting game to see which

IU greeks raise awareness

By Emily Berryman eberryma@indiana.edu | @Ember_Otter

Delta Sigma Pi organized an American Cancer Society Gala in the Tudor Room of the Indiana Memorial Union on Friday. Donors purchased tickets with a suggested donation of $30, though many attendees donated more, according to Delta Sigma Pi’s fundraising page.

“We got about $2,000 from the IU Funding Board, which meant we were able to donate more after splitting with budgeting,” said Joe Sartorio, vice president of Delta Sigma Pi community service, said.

“Were able to donate more than in previous years.”

The fraternity was able to raise a total of $5,635 to donate to American Cancer

Society and cover the cost of the gala.

Statistics from the American Cancer Society say an estimated 569,490 people died of cancer in 2010 and the number has increased by 26,200 deaths to an estimated 595,690 in 2016.

However, Melissa Pressler, community manager of American Cancer Society, said the number of lives lost to cancer will hopefully fall as more people survive each day with help from the fundraising efforts.

Sartorio said after one of the brothers at the fraternity was diagnosed with cancer, the house wanted to do something to support him.

“That’s how we chose the American Cancer Society as our spring project,” he said.

Guests began arriving up to half an hour before the event and filled the atrium of the Tudor Room with greetings and introductions while they munched on hors d’oeurves and drinks.

Between speakers, Another Round, an a cappella group, sang “How Deep is Your Love,” “Fake Love” and “Stand by Me” , followed by a live string quartet, during a buffet dinner courtesy of the Tudor Room Dining Services.

The gala featured live entertainment, a cash bar, hors d’oeurves, dinner, a silent auction, photo opportunities with the ACS “Hope” sign, guest speakers and a luminary ceremony in memory of those lost to cancer.

Cheryl Hughes, a cancer survivor and one of the

speakers at the gala, spoke from personal experience to explain why support is important.

“Cancer has gone through my family like a wrecking ball,” Hughes said. “I was diagnosed with cancer on June 12th and I remember thinking, ‘I don’t have time for this.

I have other things to do.’”

Hughes described how her family and students rallied around her to support her through her treatments.

She urged those feeling afraid or unsure to realize just how important community is to treatment.

“Instead of being scared, look around this room,” Hughes said. “See just how many people are here to help.

They will hold your hand and see you through.”

Phi Kappa Sigma initiates a veteran

By Larmie Sanyon lsanyon@indiana.edu @LarmieSanyon

After returning from the Vietnam War, Army Col. Gregg Hammond said he struggled to integrate back into society because he felt alienated. Since serving in Vietnam and eventually Iraq, Hammond said he learned how to cope with society, both as a veteran and a citizen. When Phi Kappa Sigma initiated him Saturday, Hammond said he had an opportunity to share his experiences with a young group of people.

Hammond, a native of Peru, Indiana, graduated from IU in 1979 and served about 33 years in the Marines and Army. Sophomore Jake Olson, the fraternity’s president, said the 167-year-old initiation kept with traditions at Bryan Room in the IMU. The standards and traditions reminded Hammond of the Army after he retired in 2009.

“I started to research it after I retired and I found the

values of Phi Kappa Sigma to be almost identical to the Army’s core values.” he said.

The fraternity’s local chapter, the Delta Pi chapter, recognized the colonel by initiating him along with 14 other young men in their winter class. Hammond said he never had an opportunity to join a fraternity while at IU or any other institutions, but he remembered one of his classmates being a member of the Phi Kappa Sigma and enjoying his experience.

He said he contacted their national headquarters and was put in touch with IU’s chapter. The fraternity, Hammond said, consisted of a mature bunch of young men.

He said being allowed to join a group of competent young men was a great experience.

“I thought it was an incredibly great honor,” Hammond said.

Olson also said he thought the initiation went well and that he enjoyed the atmosphere of the evening.

Hammond received many decorations during his time

in the military, including a Bronze Star Medal with Valor in Vietnam, for his work as a combat medic. Olson said it was a great honor for the chapter to be allowed to initiate the colonel.

He said the colonel is a highly decorated man who was not obligated to associate with their fraternity but chose to anyway.

“He could have contacted any national organization,” Olson said. “And he picked our organization, there was something special he saw in us.”

He said it was a morale boost to know the colonel did his research, contacted their national headquarters and reached the Delta Pi chapter at IU. Olson said he also thought it demonstrated the chapter’s principles of being good citizens. He admitted that, like many students at IU, his chapter likes to party, but he said partying was not all there was to his fraternity.

“It’s all about the brotherhood,” Olson said. “It’s all

about the guys you’re going to make life long friendships with.”

Hammond said it was these ideas of friendship and camaraderie that reminded him of the Army. The values of the fraternity and the Army blended together so well, he said he now look forward to working with his new brothers.

Hammond sees a need for veteran leadership in the fraternity and around the community. He said leadership and advising would be most important for current and future veterans.

“I would possibly like to set up a mentorship program and start a fraternity outreach program,” Hammond said.

His struggles after returning from Vietnam, Hammond said, are why he would like to help young people facing something he knows all too well about.

“It has been a real honor to have an opportunity to be part of the Delta Pi chapter, Hammond said. “I look forward to good things in the future.”

White House Wednesdays discusses Trump

By Maddison Hines maddhine@iu.edu | @MaddiRenee

Following the inauguration of President Trump, there has been a large amount of news coverage concerning his administration and policies. Participants on campus panels have tried to analyze this information.

White House Wednesdays is a weekly event provided by the School of Public and Environmental Affairs that focuses on the various changes under Trump’s administration. Immigration policies and the inauguration are some topics that have already been discussed since Trump has been elected.

Jim Hanchett, director of marketing and communication at SPEA and one of the creators of White House Wednesdays, explained why it has been difficult to follow the news since Trump’s reign.

“Certainly the pace of change or proposed change

is faster with this administration than with previous transitions,” he said.

“Additionally, such a range of issues are emerging simultaneously that makes it hard to follow and put it into context.”

The most recent discussion on Feb. 15 featured Brian DeLong, director of debate at IU and lecturer in SPEA. His lecture consisted of the growth of insults and negative attacks while discussing politics. Many examples that were used to showcase this were Trump’s attacks toward Hillary Clinton and other republican nominees during his presidential campaign and since he has been elected.

Throughout DeLong’s lecture, videos and tweets were shown to exemplify this behavior. Several insults that Trump threw at other politicians consisted of their character or appearance, not on their stance on important issues or their policies. During Trump’s campaign he repeatedly

called Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, “little Marco” and described Clinton as “crooked.”

This type of behavior has been shown in Trump’s supporters as well. Several posters and Trump apparel featured a “Hillary for prison” slogan and made vicious verbal attacks on Trump’s opponents.

DeLong also provided his own input on this topic.

He explained why he thinks this attitude is a dangerous one to have and what the Trump administration is attempting to achieve.

“The breaking of decorum norms of presidential rhetoric serves to undermine disagreement as legitimacy of the presidency and ‘fake news,’” he said. “The goal is to unify the truth within framework of the Trump administration and nowhere else.”

DeLong also wanted to make the point that this behavior exists on the left side as well. Conspiracy theorists on the liberal political

spectrum have made extreme comments toward former President George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, stating that they had a hand in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Hanchett said he looks forward to the future of White House Wednesdays and lists some topics that will be discussed in the coming weeks. A discussion about work life in Washington, D.C., and concerns about the future of the Environmental Protection Agency before Earth Day will be coming up shortly.

A point that Hanchett wanted students to know is that people from all walks of life and different viewpoints are accepted and encouraged to participate.

“People who are antiTrump, pro-Trump, Greens, Libertarians or those new to our country and just learning about our politics and government are welcome to our events,” he said. “White House Wednesdays and all SPEA programs are for everybody.”

Taiwan native prepares dishes, talks adversity

By Rachel Leffers rleffers@indiana.edu | @rachelleffers

As she prepared a few traditional Chinese dishes, Shine Rominger shared a brief history of her journey from Taiwan to the United States when she was just a child.

Rominger, a native of Taichung, Taiwan, after her family sought refuge from China after World War II, shared her heritage with students Friday at the Asian Culture Center. While there, she cooked stir fried shrimp and snow peas, stir fried beef in oyster sauce and jawtzi, the boiled version of pot stickers, while discussing the adversity she and her parents overcame when they moved to the U.S. “Living in a lowermiddle-class neighborhood in Indianapolis in the 1960s, we were probably the only Chinese family around,” Rominger said, “I mean, it felt like we were the only Chinese family in Indianapolis.”

Rominger’s mother is from Hangzhou and her father is from the small village of Zheng Di, an area close to Beijing. After World War II, there was a conflict between China’s Nationalist Army and the Communist Party’s Chairman Mao Zedong. Her parents were each presented with opportunities to leave their home country.

Rominger’s father was a refuge, while her mother worked for the Nationalist Army. Although Rominger said these were rare and fortunate opportunities, they did not come without sacrifice.

“My mother got an opportunity to get on a plane and just suddenly leave, leave her family, leave everything,” Rominger said, “With the clothes on her back, she rode on a plane and went to Taiwan.”

When her parents arrived in Taiwan, they met, were married and had three children. Although her parents left China for Taiwan, she said it was not their dream country.

“They were always searching for an opportunity to come to the United States because they felt that would be the best opportunity for the family,” Rominger said.

After 12 years, Rominger said her father received a student visa so he could get an education in the U.S. Because her father’s goal was to bring the whole family to the U.S., he worked quickly, receiving his master’s degree in civil engineering from the University of Cincinnati in six months and

“She decided she was going to make the home her China and then outside was going to be America.

When we got home we took off our shoes, we ate Chinese food and we spoke Chinese.”

Shine Rominger, a native of Taichung, Taiwan

secured a job shortly after, she said.

Rominger’s mom and two brothers were able to join her father in Indianapolis, where he designed bridges. Even though her parents had achieved their goal of bringing the family to the U.S., they had not yet overcome all of their challenges, she said.

Rominger’s father worked in the community every day, so he was able to adapt to the American culture and learn English.

However, her mother, a stay-at-home mom, was not able to adapt as easily because she could not speak English well.

“She decided she was going to make the home her China and then outside was going to be America,” Rominger said, “When we got home we took off our shoes, we ate Chinese food and we spoke Chinese.”

Although Rominger grew up in the U.S., thanks to her mother, Rominger brought her Asian heritage with her when she started a family of her own. Because her husband is from southern Indiana, their household combines both of their cultures.

Rominger’s daughter, Tabitha Rominger, a student assistant at the Asain Culture Center, said growing up exposed to multiple cultures could be difficult.

“I went to a predominantly white school,” Tabitha Rominger said.

“So, I was always set apart from them in that I brought different things to eat for lunch and I had different mannerisms and habits because of my mother’s upbringing spilling into mine.”

Although, Tabitha said what differentiated her from her peers were small things, such as eating with chopsticks and not wearing shoes in the house, those small differences gave her a unique perspective on cultures.

“I’m very thankful for my heritage,” Tabitha said.

“It’s an important part of my life, and if I have kids, I will definitely pass it on.”

Annual soup bowl benefits local food bank

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

At long tables lined with colorful handmade pottery, attendees examined multiple bowls before settling on their favorite one. After they made their decision, they filled their bowls with soups ranging from minestrone to Hungarian goulash as part of the Hoosier Hills Food Bank’s 23rd Annual Soup Bowl Benefit Sunday at the Monroe County Convention Center.

The proceeds from the benefit went toward the food bank, a nonprofit organization that provides more than three million pounds of food each year to other nonprofits in south central Indiana.

A full-priced ticket, which included a handmade bowl, food and beverages, was $30.

Children’s tickets for food and tickets for paper bowls were $6.

Hoosier Hills Food Bank Executive Director Julio Alonso said the organization’s goal was to raise $100,000 at the event. About 700 people attended.

The event included soups and bread from more than 25 local restaurants. It also

featured live musical performances by IU Soul Revue and The New Hoosier Broadcasters.

About 60 potters donated their bowls to the event, organizing committee member Karen Green Stone said, including potters from the Indiana Ceramics Guild, Bloomington High School North, Bloomington High School South and Ivy Tech.

Barb Lund, 67, has been making bowls for the event every year since it first started 23 years ago. The total amount of bowls she has made for the event throughout the years adds up to approximately 2,800 bowls. She said she made 210 bowls for this particular event.

“I just like seeing people pick up all the bowls,” she said. “It’s a testing ground for me to see what people like.”

Attendee Jamie Caldwell, 22, said it was her first time attending the soup bowl. She said she liked choosing from the variety of bowls. She decided on a white bowl with a bright green interior.

“It looks really wellmade,” she said. “It looks like something you would buy at store.”

Caldwell said she tried tomato soup from Runcible

Spoon and a chicken and rice soup from the Trojan Horse, and she said both were delicious and flavorful.

Caldwell said she also enjoyed the enthusiasm of the people who attended.

“It was a big swarm of

energy and excitement,” Caldwell said.

Duane Busick, 64, said he has attended about 18 to 20 soup bowls. He said he liked how the event allows him to take home a piece of pottery. He selected a light blue

glazed bowl.

“The greatest thing about this event is that you give money to raise for Hoosier Hills and you get to take home a piece of art to remember it by,” he said.

Alonso said he likes how

the event brings together many local musicians, artists and restaurants to contribute to the food bank.

“It’s become a treasured community event,” Alonso said. “It’s the best of Bloomington on so many levels.”

Indianapolis teen Trump interviews security advisor gets more than 13 years for robbery

By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu @sarahhhgardner

New National Security Advisor candidates After the resignation of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump interviewed four potential candidates for the position Sunday.

Three of the candidates are military veterans. Military strategist Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, United States Military Academy at West Point superintendent Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen Jr. and retired lieutenant general Keith Kellogg are all in the running. Kellogg is currently the acting national security advisor.

John R. Bolton, who was George W. Bush’s ambassador to the United Nations and was previously considered for the secretary of state position, was also interviewed.

Robert S. Harward, a retired vice admiral and former Navy SEAL, turned down the position saying in a statement the job was a commitment he could not currently make.

Trump asked for Flynn’s resignation Monday after it came to light he had misled the White House about calls with Russia during the Trump administration’s transition to the White House. Flynn had been national security advisor for 24 days.

President Trump speaks at a press conference Feb. 16 in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C.

rally in the style of his campaign events Saturday in an airport hangar in Melbourne, Florida.

Trump criticized the judges who blocked his temporary travel ban, Democrats fighting his cabinet nominees and national news media.

He also referenced recent terrorist attacks in Europe, such as those in Paris and Brussels.

Trump finished this list by talking about an incident “last night in Sweden.”

It is not clear whether he meant a terrorist attack such as those he had just referred to or some other incident in Sweden.

There was no recent terrorist attack or major security concern over the weekend in Sweden, according to statements from several Swedish officials.

Trump rails against national media At his press conference Thursday, Trump called most national news outlets dishonest and skirted questions from reporters.

He shamed the press for using classified news leaks in their reporting and called newspapers “out of control” and “disgraceful.”

He also accused reporters of lying. He did not answer questions about controversial relations with Russia.

In a tweet Friday, Trump referred to The New York Times, CNN, NBC and others as fake news and the “enemy of the American people.”

Openhearted campaign promotes community understanding of Muslims

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfern

One by one, men and women removed their shoes and entered the prayer hall.

As they waited for the opening speech, strangers sat in circles and introduced themselves to one another.

This was the opening of the Openhearted Open House, which took place Sunday at the Islamic Center of Bloomington in order to promote a better understanding of the Muslim community. The evening involved interactive presentations, prayer and a catered dinner provided by Anatolia Restaurant.

Anna Maidi, founder of the Openhearted campaign, said the conversations shared among strangers, whether a part of the Muslim community or not, captured the heart of her efforts.

Dinner Bell restaurant, Hilltop Tavern and Binkley’s Kitchen and Bar in Indianapolis. In all the robberies, the employees and patrons of the restaurants were threatened by the robbers. Some were made to lay on the floor.

On Nov. 4, 2015, the group robbed KS&E Guns in Lawrence, Indiana. They entered the store, clad in gloves and masks and brandishing weapons. Although no shots were fired, the owner of the store was pistol whipped by one of the men. In total, the group stole 44 firearms — including handguns, shotguns and semi-automatic rifles — and more than $16,000 worth of ammunition.

When special agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives came to investigate the robbery at KS&E Guns, the evidence they found led them to connect the men to the restaurant robberies they’d committed in September and October. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and Lawrence Police Department also assisted in the investigation.

“The negative impact this suspect had on the lives and families of Indianapolis and Lawrence, Indiana is unmeasurable,” IMPD Chief Bryan Roach said in a press release.

The men Maxey assisted in the robberies have not yet been sentenced, but they could face life imprisonment.

“We know the public has a lot of different questions about the Muslim community,” she said. “So we want to engage them in conversation, bridge any gaps.”

Maidi said doing so would help offset the effects of recent political rhetoric and the depiction of extremist Muslims in the media, which has spread fear of Muslims among Americans.

By promoting conversation, Maidi said the community will be able to see Muslims as neighbors rather than outsiders.

“It’s easy to fear something you don’t understand, so we have to understand one another,” she said One of the evening’s presentations, titled “From Stranger to Neighbor: Knowing One Another,” is meant to do just that, she said.

In the center’s basement,

attendees packed in, standing shoulder-to-shoulder while listening to the stories of Muslim Americans.

Presenter Enabah Laracuente said the presentation was meant to humanize Muslim Americans while giving audience members the opportunity to share similar stories.

“Imagine these people as any Muslim,” she said to the audience. “You normally only see a face, but now you get to hear their stories. Now, you can see them as your nextdoor neighbors.”

Attendee Ronna Papesh said the commonalities between the stories of the Muslim Americans and the stories of the audience is what affected her most.

“It was interesting to see the commonalities in their stories,” she said. “It really showed us that we’re more alike than we are different.”

His previous candidate Andrew Puzder withdrew himself from the confirmation process last Wednesday.

Acosta is currently the dean of Florida International University’s law school.

He was previously a member of the National Labor Relations Board and an assistant attorney general in the Justice Department during George W. Bush’s presidency.

Hearings for Gorsuch scheduled Supreme Court justice nominee Neil Gorsuch’s Senate confirmation hearing will begin March 20, the Judiciary Committee announced Thursday. Trump nominated Gorsuch to fill the seat left vacant by the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

An Indianapolis teenager was sentenced to 157 months in federal prison for his involvement in a string of violent robberies that occurred when he was a juvenile.

Andre Jermaine Maxey, 18, pleaded guilty to six counts of interference with commerce by threats of violence and one count of possession of a firearm during a violent crime. He was sentenced as an adult, although he was a teenager at the time the crimes were committed.

“Gun violence has no place in a civil society,” United States Attorney Josh Minkler said in a press release.

“Maxey and his accomplices willingly used extreme violence while robbing gun stores and crowded restaurants. He now understands the full force of federal law enforcement. To the extent that juveniles believe they are immune from federal prosecution, they should now know that belief is mistaken.”

Over a few weeks in fall 2015, Maxey assisted three men — Ronald Wade, Theondre Matthews and Markel Gray, in robberies of restaurants in southern Indiana.

The spree began with the robbery of a Little Caesars on Sept. 22, 2015 in Indianapolis. Over the course of the next several weeks, Maxey helped the men rob a

EDITORIAL BOARD

Aggression against Venezuela will continue Finding policy in the reactionary monsoon that is the administration of President Trump may be difficult for others, but it is already clear that Trump intends to carry on former president Barack Obama’s harassing and destabilizing of the oil-rich South American country of Venezuela, which 18 years ago set out to defy the economic model of neoliberalism and the “Washington Consensus” with the Bolivarian Revolution.

It’s hard to discern reality and myth in Venezuela considering the gallons of anti-Bolivarian propaganda that have been poured over our heads for years. Venezuela’s real crime in the eyes of Washington is not its human rights violations but rather its policies of social welfare for the poor, its vast oil reserves and its Bolivarian ideal of a united South America.

While many are quick to note the well publicized difficulties in Venezuela’s economy, few mention the campaign of aggression inflicted on it by the United States. It’s like criticizing Cuba without bringing up the decades long U.S. Navy blockade. In 2002, George W. Bush backed a failed coup against the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, the late Hugo Chávez.

Though we’ve long been told Chávez was a “dictator,” the media forgets that when Chávez was deposed, Venezuela’s poor revolted for days until the government was forced to return him.

In response to the failed coup, the U.S. commenced an international vilification campaign of Chávez and the funding of opposition parties in Venezuela.

As Chávez continued to restructure the Venezuelan economy, he made a powerful enemy in 2007, then-Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, who now runs Trump’s State Department.

When Tillerson refused to hand over more profits to

the Venezuelan government, Chávez nationalized the company’s holdings in the country.

It is willful ignorance to think that Tillerson won’t work to seize Venezuela’s oil with his newly acquired resources in the State Department. Trump continued to meet with Senator Marco Rubio and Lilian Tintori, the wife of Venezuelan opposition leader and political prisoner Leopoldo Lopez.

Trump apparently forgot to tweet that Lopez’s imprisonment is due to inciting of anti-government protests in 2014 that led to scores of deaths. He is also part of the opposition funded by the U.S. Venezuela responded to this escalating diplomatic battle by shutting down CNN in the country due to a story claiming the Venezuelan government sold passports to Middle East terrorists.

If Trump overthrows the Venezuelan government, the consequences could be similar to those in Honduras, whose government Obama overthrew in 2009.

Honduran death squads now slaughter environmental activists while multinationals pillage the country’s resources.

The crushing of Venezuela would prove an existential defeat for the populism that has fought to win Latin America its first independence in 500 years. The situation is now grim, as in eight short years Barack Obama systematically undermined the numerous popular and sovereign Latin American governments that existed in January 2009.

As of 2017, only Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Chile and Ecuador had democratically elected left-wing governments. Expect that to change under Trump. luwrobin@umail.iu.edu

NO HOT TAKES

Feminism will always remain political Though I enjoy making angry calls to House Speaker Paul Ryan’s office with a morning cup of coffee, the glee from calling others out on their ideology doesn’t fix the issues in my own.

Internal critiques of feminism feel undeserved when feminist ideals are under outside attack, but they’re necessary to preserve feminism as a political movement.

To achieve any goal, collective action must precede individual expression. The future will never “be female” if we don’t invest in policy to incite gender equity or spark political interest to achieve parity in representation.

In her forthcoming book “Why I’m Not A Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto,” Jessa Crispin writes that we’ve reached a subscriber-friendly form of feminism because “somewhere along the way toward female liberation, it was decided that the most effective method was for feminism to become universal.”

However, political movements naturally try to optimize their mobilized numbers. The power of the masses is what keeps movement afloat. But Crispin is right in noting that we can’t shy away from the rawness of female subordination just to accommodate other people’s feelings.

A more constructive argument is in Andi Zeisler’s “We Were Feminists Once: From Riot Grrrl to CoverGirl®, the Buying and Selling of a Political Movement.” She argues that easily consumable feminism doesn’t inherently turn people off from politics but makes it a lot harder to look in the face of misogynistic legislative bills and political agendas and fight them head-on.

Julia Bourkland is a sophomore in philosophy.

After all, “wouldn’t it be a lot easier to seize your power and tap into your inner warrior?” she writes.

Aside from reservations, both Crispin and Zeisler rightly profess that feminism still has a long way to go in shaping politics effectively.

In her review of Crispin for the Guardian, Suzanne Moore writes that “feminism as self-absorption, as an addon label to a new lifestyle, has got us...where exactly?

Where we are now. Stalled.”

Feminism’s depoliticized nature leaves us wondering where we go next.

Obviously, building individual expression is essential to embodying feminism.

Questions on how to live accordingly are good for nurturing well-informed feminist identities. But I guarantee you Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (RKY) doesn’t care about the morality of crotch waxing.

Since many internal critiques came after the tumultuous 2016 election, perhaps this isn’t a conceptual crisis, but instead the ebb and flow of an ideology alive and well.

The turnout at the Women’s March on Washington proved we aren’t living in a postfeminist world. People still care about advancing feminism politically and socially.

Still, the best feminist barometer should determine how an action could mold federal and state law or cultural norms. As a political movement, this is the most effective strategy to ensure all genders from all intersections of identity will be put on equal footing. jsbourkl@umail.iu.edu

ILLUSTRATION BY AUSTIN VANSCOIK | IDS

Preventing sexual assault Crimes occuring in Bloomington will have a negative effect on IU Indiana University has made a point to educate its students about sexual assault.

Because of the efforts made by the Indiana Daily Student, Culture of Care and the Student Board of efforts, it is hard for the Opinion Editorial board to hear about the recent sexual assault case involving the app Whisper.

Four men from Monroe county were recently arrested on child molestation charges. Two of the men arrested, George W. R. Pearcy and Matthew J. Filipek, are students at IU. Though all four men are innocent until proven guilty, the Editorial Board believes this is a good time to reflect on how this situation affects IU’s activism and the way the community views its fight against sexual assault.

IU joined the fight against sexual assault by taking on the nationwide “It’s On US” slogan, coined by former

President Barack Obama in 2014. Since then, other organizations on campus have taken up the fight against sexual assault as well.

Culture of Care promotes sexual well-being and the idea of no longer being the bystander but caring for our classmates instead.

Last semester, the investigation desk at the IDS ran a three-part special on sexual assault at IU where columnists encouraged students to share their stories.

The investigation revealed how many students still didn’t realize how common and probable sexual assault is at IU. While IU’s existing activism educates students about sexual assault, informs them of how to protect themselves against it and how to report it afterwards, we need to examine whether we’re doing a good enough job.

These organizations and IU as a community spends so much time informing

students about how to protect themselves from sexual assault, yet it seems these organizations aren’t doing enough to dissuade the assaulters.

Situations like the Whisper case occur because not enough offenders are being held responsible, and instead of telling victims that they are the ones who need to prevent sexual assault, IU should turn its focus to the potential offenders.

To make matters worse, IU student James McGovern was arrested on Friday on charges of rape and criminal confinement.

Perhaps there needs to be a way for those who are unsure whether or not they are committing sexual assault to speak with someone and get a better understanding of the damage they are causing, while also being held responsible.

We cannot only punish the few who are caught because while this shows some

are being caught, it also showcases the large amount of sexual offenders who are getting away with it because of intimidation and stigma placed on the victims.

Of course, the education about prevention and what it means to sexually assault someone will not always dissuade someone from committing a sexual crime.

Despite the fact that this specific crime has taken place off campus with a minor, it cannot be totally separate from IU. Those accused are affiliated with IU and that is always going to look bad for the University.

If the University wants to prevent further potential blame, it needs to create stricter expectations of students and follow through when a crime is committed.

The dangerous atmosphere of sexual assault at IU will ultimately deter potential students from enrolling in the future.

CONVERSATIONS WITH KATE

We need to reassess the ethics behind editing genes A panel of researchers from the National Academy of Science and the National Academy of Medicine released a report last week indicating preliminary support for embryonic gene editing in cases of severe disease or disability.

This support for genome editing represents not only the potential alteration of human germlines, the genetic material we may pass on to our children, but also the crossing of an ethical line. Genetic selection, after all, has its own questionable historical lineage.

I believe germline editing is a eugenic process. From the Greek term for “well-born,” eugenics refers to the selection of heritable biological traits with the aim of producing ideal progeny.

Amid post-Darwinian theories of biological degeneracy in the 19th century, eugenics emerged as a scientifically

backed effort to eliminate disability, mental illness and non-white races from the human gene pool through forced sterilization and other intrusive measures.

In the 20th-century United States, eugenic efforts consolidated into federally funded sterilization programs in 32 states, some of which endured well into the 1970s. Indiana, in fact, was the first in the world to enact compulsory eugenic sterilization legislation in 1907.

A notorious 1927 Supreme Court ruling in Buck v. Bell upheld the constitutionality of sterilization laws in the case of Carrie Buck, a woman deemed “feebleminded” and “unfit” in Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes’ majority opinion.

It is essential to recognize that eugenic practices received overwhelming scientific, medical and governmental backing in the name of public

health. Though the practice is now acknowledged as unethical, it was legally dismantled only about half a century ago.

Embryonic gene editing procedures are not on the same ethical level as forced sterilization, but the processes nonetheless share eugenic goals.

An underlying principle of eugenics is that society gets to decide which conditions should be eliminated from the human gene pool.

This determination involves a subjective value judgment in selecting which specific diseases or disabilities should not be permitted to exist.

The panel’s report does acknowledge the troubling relationship between eugenics and human germline editing.

While the awareness of this history is crucial in considering the ethical principles at stake, it does not resolve the problem.

Kaitlynn Milvert is a senior in English.

The report offers no concrete guidelines for assessing which conditions qualify as severe disease or disability, nor does it clarify whether this determination would be based on quantitative measures, like fatality rates, or other more subjective measures.

Research for treatments is a better investment of resources, and it enables progress toward less ethically questionable options.

The National Institutes of Health currently allocate no funding to gene editing in embryos – and for good reason.

Fortunately, it will likely require several years before embryonic gene editing would be a viable option. In the meantime, it’s time to reassess the ethical heritage of the practice: eugenics. kmilvert@umail.iu.edu

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 According to the IUSA bylaws, a ticket is defined as four executive position candidates and at least one congressional candidate, though typically each party will try to fill every congressional seat available.

Candidates can, however, file a seat in congress under a party of their choice.

Those who seek an executive position, however, need to file together with the rest of their ticket.

Of the approximately 150 applications accepted so far, 119 are for positions in the IUSA congress, and the rest are for executive positions, Eaton’s co-chair Savannah Wormley said.

Eaton said parties typically try to fill every congressional seat available at the time of filing, which could explain why there are so many individual applications.

Normally, the requirement is to have at least one candidate for congress.

Since the election is in its early stages, only two of the tickets have publicly announced, she said. As of Sunday, the presidential candidates are as follows: Daniel Niersbach for for Empower, Michelle Long for Engage,

In China, outside of large cities, all-gender bathrooms don’t really exist, Li said. She would like to see the bathrooms at IU advertised.

On campus, though, the bathroom Li chooses to use is dependent on the way she dresses and what is accessible. She said she uses the male restroom more currently because she dresses like a man but does occasionally use the women’s bathroom.

There will be an all-candidate meeting on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in SPEA where students interested in running for student government can have their questions about IUSA bylaws answered.

“If they have questions related to last year’s election they can ask those too,” Wormley said.

Eaton said they will also review which laws have been violated most frequently in the past.

Wormley said the biggest difference in the process from previous years is a new policy regarding conflicts of interest on the commission.

Members are now expected to self-report any bias they think they might have, especially when it comes to decisions involving friends of candidates.

“The election commission is trying to be more transparent,” Wormley said.

“We have a new advisor and we’re publishing our meeting minutes online.”

The new advisor, law

Thirty-two percent of respondents said they limit their food and drink intake in the last year to lessen the need to use the restroom, and eight percent reported having a urinary tract infection or kidney-related problem in the last year from avoiding using the restroom.

“When the facilities aren’t sufficient, or don’t feel safe or don’t feel comfortable, people won’t use them, and that’s a lot of times the case for trans and non-binary people,” Biery said. “But I think people try to politicize it and make it into this thing when really people are trying to feel safe and are trying to use facilities that everyone else uses.”

Bauder said while there is room for improvement, people do recognize it is a new day and inclusive facilities are necessary on campus.

He said there is a verbal understanding that all new buildings on campus will include an all-gender bathroom. He believes while all-gender bathrooms may be an adjustment for some, eventually they will become common.

“Once you’ve had the experience, assuming it’s positive, it’s really not that big a deal even for an old guy like myself,” Bauder said. “It’s like letting black people sit at the counter, making room for handicap people.

PAIR Schmider and Appel score victories over two ranked opponents

By Dylan Wallace dswallac@iu.edu | @Dwall_1

Coming off a 6-3 victory over the No. 32-ranked doubles team in the country from Notre Dame on Friday, the IU tandem of senior Kim Schmider and sophomore Madison Appel were set to take on yet another ranked opponent.

This time, it was the No. 1 doubles pair in the NCAA, playing for No. 25 Kentucky.

Junior Mami Adachi and senior Aldila Sutjiadi, the Wildcats’ top-ranked pair, came to Bloomington as the reigning National Indoor Intercollegiate Champions.

Schmider and Appel were unranked as a duo but had a record of 20-2 coming into the match.

“We were more confident going into this match after the win against Notre Dame,” Schmider said. “We played really well yesterday and just came in like any other match.”

The Wildcats took an early three to two game lead, but this was when Schmider and Appel turned up the intensity.

The team in cream and crimson rallied off three consecutive games to take a 5-3 lead, only needing one more to knock off the top team in the country.

Kentucky was able to win the next game and stay alive at 5-4.

Appel was up to serve for match point.

She sent it across the net and Kentucky sent it back quickly, but Schmider was up at the net and was able to finesse a shot down the right side, and Kentucky was unable to get to the ball in time.

Schmider and Appel then celebrated with a hug as they beat the No. 1 team in the country 6-4, improving to 21-2 on the season.

“We’ve been looking for an opportunity to play ranked teams for a while,” Schmider said. “We’ve been playing so well against the other teams, and today we just stuck to the game plan and got two huge victories.”

Appel said the confidence level of her teammate Schmider will go up thanks to the pair of big wins, and that will in turn help Appel’s.

“For Kim, winning a lot and beating teams like this brings her up, which brings me up,” Appel said. “Starting off with these two big wins will help us down the road because we know we can compete with anyone.”

Despite being the underdogs for these two matches, Schmider and Appel will have a big target on their backs now, IU Coach Ramiro Azcui said.

The new rankings come out this week, and Appel said if they get ranked everybody knows what they have to do and that mentality should stay the same even with a number next to their names.

This is the first year Schmider and Appel have teamed up, and back in September, they were paired to be partners randomly.

“I believed that they would be a really good team together, and I think they have always believed it, too,” Azcui said. “I am really proud of the way they came out and competed this weekend.”

Schmider and Appel agreed it’s their stylistic differences that make them so effective on the court together.

Despite getting two big wins from the No. 1 doubles spot, IU took two tough losses in the overall match to Notre Dame 6-1 and Kentucky 4-0.

Although the scores seem lopsided, all the matches were closer than they looked on paper.

The Hoosiers have yet to play with a full lineup

this season due to numerous injuries and illnesses throughout the team, which Azcui said complicates the week to week preparation for his team.

“It’s hard when a new girl each week gets hurt or sick,” Azcui said. “It speaks volumes to see how much

we’ve improved, and I think we can play with anybody right now. We just need to get one or two big wins to take us to the next level.”

IU is now 5-5 on the season and will be in action again Feb. 25 against DePaul and IUPUI.

Students celebrate artistry at HHart event

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

A student jazz ensemble started off the performances of the evening.

Zack Birkenthal, Matthew Babineaux, Anthony Coniglio, Walter Evertone and Olivia Martinez took their places at the front of one room in Hutton Honors College and began playing an original piece, as patrons sat and listened or wandered through the gallery a few rooms over.

The HHart celebration of the arts took place Friday and included a showcase of many types of visual art as well as consistent performances across the musical spectrum.

Alyssa de la Rosa, chair of the core committee for HHart, said HHart’s goals include appreciating these works done by students alongside a light reception.

“We only feature student art and this year we’ve had record-breaking entries in terms of performances, spoken word and visual art, so it will be really good,” de la Rosa said.

Students from Hutton Honors College, Hudson & Holland scholars and Collins Living-Learning Center are invited to contribute work to the event each year.

De la Rosa said she looked forward to her own performance, the second musical performance of the night, alongside Eric Langowski.

“I’m playing piano with my friend who plays cello, so it should be fun,” de la Rosa said.

The performances were

not confined to students whose studies focus on those creative areas. In fact, many of the students displaying work had major areas that differ completely from the arts.

“In general, any kind of arts event is a good thing,” de la Rosa said. “For us, it’s cool because people from all majors will bring in their artwork. So people from different backgrounds, different skill levels, people who are currently performing or playing, people who haven’t played in five years come out.”

A photograph titled “Teen Dream” depicted a vibrantly colored image of a girl’s face and was taken by Kathleen Maher, who studies folklore and ethnomusicology. Lauren Ehrmann, an art history major, showed a hand-painted denim jacket with the face of Frida Kahlo decorating the back.

Biology major Megan Dixon sat in the corner of the gallery at the beginning of the night, demonstrating her newfound artistic interest — calligraphy.

Dixon asked attendees their names and wrote them in calligraphic style on strips of paper.

“Over the summer I got interested in calligraphy, just because it’s really beautiful and lettering is really neat,” Dixon said. “I got interested in trying to work on that art and started out looking at the brushes and materials that I had. In October, I decided to do pointed pen calligraphy and I really liked it.”

Calligraphy allows for the chance to escape the

world of academics for a moment and focus on cultivating a different sort of skill, Dixon said.

“I’m happy to work on this as a hobby in my free time,” Dixon said. “It’s a

relaxing thing to do, when I’m not worried about schoolwork or stress, it’s a good outlet.”

Dixon said being a wellrounded student means incorporating a variety of

interests, which for her includes art.

“Arts have always been important to me,” Dixon said. “Art has been helpful for me and, as far as the creativity aspect, I think

it’s been useful in science, although I can’t see much connection that lettering has to it. I think, as a general thing, if you’re studying anything it’s important to have a diversity of interests.”

Visiting lecturer highlights dance, history of Taiwan

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

In partnership with “China Remixed,” the Mathers Museum of World Cultures offered a look into the world of contemporary dance as it relates to Taiwanese culture.

Chi-Fang Chao, associate professor of the Department of Dance at Taipei National University of the Arts, spoke at the museum Sunday evening on the topic of “Dancing as the Practice of Multiculturalism in Contemporary Taiwan.”

Elizabeth Shea, director of the IU contemporary dance program, extended her welcome to the 22 dancers, two faculty members and two family members from Taipei National University of the Arts.

“This is our first official event of this cultural exchange, and we are thrilled to welcome Dr. Chi-Fang Chao,” Shea said.

The cultural exchange includes the opportunity for students in IU’s contemporary dance program to

perform Feb. 24 alongside the 22 students from Taipei.

Chao began her lecture to students and faculty from IU’s program as well as the visiting students with information about her background in anthropology as it relates to her study of dance across Taiwan.

“I come from a background of anthropology, and anthropology is always tied to comparison of culture,” Chao said. “We come from the perspective of our own culture then we come across different people, different ways of moving.”

Chao highlighted a brief history of Taiwan before going into the specific areas that branch out into contemporary Taiwanese dance as an aspect of culture.

She spoke about the roots of Taiwanese dance culture as they are tied to either indigenous practice or remnants of colonization, which happened at the hands of a variety of groups throughout history including the Japanese and Chinese.

“China is a very

meaningful concept for us to think about this process of cultural mixture in terms of the spatial and historical,” Chao said.

Following the history, Chao moved into the various categories, which exist in dance tradition based in Taiwan, including dances proliferated by indigenous peoples, Han Chinese and more modern Chinese regional opera, not limited to Peking Opera.

“Performers are people, so different people will express differently and will construct a very different scene in performing arts, including dancing,” Chao said.

When discussing the practice of indigenous people, Chao said there is an element of spiritual connection to ritual and movement.

“Most of the indigenous people are animistic, they believe in spirits, could be their ancestral spirits or nature,” Chao said. “Ritual has become such an important occasion for most of the indigenous groups. Also, ritual provides a ground for

tradition of songs and dances to be preserved.”

Contemporary dance in Taiwan also developed in connection with Japanese and Western contemporary dance styles, respectively, with such names as modern dance pioneer Tsai Juiyeuh and Liu Feng-Shueh of the Neo-Classic Dance Company.

“Because of the Taiwanese colonization, some of the pioneer artists were invited to tour Taiwan in the late 1930s, and that really spread the seed into the soil and inspired some of the very early modern dance practitioners in Taiwan,” Chao said.

Anthropology allows for people to look at similarities, even as it deals with dance and movement in particular, Chao said.

“We go back and find the commonness and difference and think back why we, as human beings, have this eagerness to dance, and to dance with human beings and to express our feelings with others,” Chao said.

GETTING POLITICAL

American politics follow student abroad My alarm buzzes about three times before I actually get up. I roll over in defeat, pull out my phone to be greeted by about six CNN news notifications. All about, guess who? President Trump.

“President Trump attacks fourth estate.”

“Senate votes in Jeff Sessions, Trump’s pick for attorney general.”

It just keeps going. Every morning I wake up to at least four notifications, keeping me updated on the first 100 days of Trump. Every morning I feel like I’m reading a book, receiving a new chapter that I didn’t write or was able to be a part of. I’m on the outside looking in.

When I decided to study abroad, I knew I’d be leaving the country during a time of general chaos, as is usually the case when we elect a new president. I was sad about missing the inauguration, first 100 days and cabinet hearings.

This was when I thought Hillary Clinton was sure to be our first female president.

One of the most challenging parts of being abroad this

semester is feeling like I’m missing my chance to inform as a journalist. Every time something new pops up on my news notifications, I feel like I’m losing a shot to tell stories of how the political drama in our country is affecting our very own Bloomington.

When the people of Bloomington stood up against the travel ban for their fellow university students who were immigrants, I felt pride.

I wanted to be a part of it. I felt like I was missing so many opportunities to witness firsthand the bravery and compassion being shown on my campus.

There is this saying that a lot of college students have when they are missing something amazing. It’s called, FOMO, or “fear of missing out.” Well, I’m having major FOMO when it comes to the reporting of the first 100 days.

I want to witness and record all of the amazing acts taking place either in protest or support of our president.

No matter who you support, there is something incredible about watching the passion in someone’s eyes as they yell

or march for something they believe in.

Take the Women’s March, for example. The whole day I was glued to my television, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter feed, looking for people out there marching for what they believed in.

I wanted to be in Indianapolis with so many IU students. I wanted to be in Washington, D.C., watching as so many people walked, talked and sang for women everywhere.

But, a month into my stay here in Italy, I am starting to realize my outsider’s perspective is a blessing. I am witnessing history as many Europeans do. I see what they see, I have access to mainly European news outlets and read European headlines when I walk down the street.

There is not a more perfect time for me to have this. As an American, I have been raised to believe the United States is always right, that we are the people of freedom. But coming here, taking a political science class from the perspective of my Romanian professor, I am learning that much

is left out of our history books.

We are not always being told the full story. This is typical of any country you study in. Often times, the history will always be centered around our own country. By studying in Italy, I am learning little bits of history I never would have, focused on different perspectives. This is a blessing.

When I come back at the end of this semester, I like to think I will return with a perspective of purpose. A perspective that is well rounded, with pride for my country, but a realistic view on it as well.

This is something any journalist should have in their arsenal, especially when it comes to reporting on our current government.

Whenever I wake up from now on, I’ll greet the chaotic amounts of notifications on the latest scandal in our government with grace. I won’t be too sad, but looking forward to getting back to work once I leave the biggest adventure of my life so far to a new one.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

IU falls to Nebraska after sluggish first half

By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer

IU Coach Teri Moren has said before each game this season, including Sunday’s contest at Big ten bottomdweller Nebraska, that her team needs to be sure not to focus on the opponent’s record.

The Hoosiers entered Sunday in the midst of a threegame winning streak and fresh off their first win over a ranked opponent all season, while the Huskers had a 1-12 mark in the Big Ten. Despite Moren’s warnings, IU started slow and never quite got going in a 67-64 loss against Nebraska that put a halt to the Hoosiers’ hot streak.

“We tried to tell them,” IU assistant coach Janese Banks said on the IU postgame radio show on WHCC 105.1 FM. “We tried to make sure they knew and understood that this is a Nebraska team that’s hungry.”

IU dug itself an early hole and trailed 17-8 after one quarter. Despite scoring 22 points in the second, IU trailed by a point at halftime.

The second half started hot for IU, and the visitors picked up a seven-point lead halfway through the third. From there, however, the Cornhuskers came back to take the lead and the Hoosiers trailed most of the fourth quarter.

A missed 3-pointer from junior guard Tyra Buss in the closing seconds sealed the loss. Banks partially blamed

Senior guard Karlee McBride surveys the court against Michigan last Thursday in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. McBride scored 12 points Sunday at Nebraska, but IU dropped the game by a final of 67-64.

the slow start for the loss but said she didn’t see much of an increase in her team’s urgency, even as the game progressed.

“We came here and we told them no sleepwalking,” Banks said. “I feel like that’s what we did for 40 minutes.

Hats off to Nebraska, I take nothing away from them, they played really well.”

IU was able to hold Nebraska’s star sophomore

REBECCA MEHLING | IDS

Sophomore Jake Danishek attempts to escape from a takedown during the Hoosiers’ match against Minnesota in January. Danishek picked up a win against No. 20 Appalachian State this weekend.

IU finishes dual meet season with ranked win

By Ryan Schuld rschuld@indiana.edu | @rschuld

IU wrestling closed last season with a loss against Appalachian State at home in the National Wrestling Coaches Association National Duals.

On Sunday, the Hoosiers were in Boone, North Carolina, to take on the No. 20 Mountaineers again in the season finale, and won 21-12 to finish the season at 10-9.

The NWCA National Duals pitted eight Big Ten

*

teams against conference champions from around the country, and IU was drawn to match up with Southern Conference champions Appalachian State.

IU Coach Duane Goldman said there were big matches for some wrestlers individually and added those guys were able to step up to help themselves, while also assisting in the team victory.

Sophomore and 125-pound Elijah Oliver started the match by

defeating No. 18 Vito Pasone 7-5 in a sudden victory to give the Hoosiers an early 3-0 lead while also sparking life into the team right out of the gate.

“It brought our guys off their feet,” Goldman said. “It was one of the better matches he has had all year and probably the best match he has had since coming back from his injury.”

The Mountaineers tied the match 3-3 before IU’s 141-pound sophomore Cole Weaver picked up a win for

the second week in a row and won a close match 5-4 to give the Hoosiers a 6-3 lead.

Appalachian State tied it at six, but IU used the next four matches to pull away and put the match out of reach for the Mountaineers.

Sophomores Jake Danishek, at 157 pounds, and Bryce Martin, at 165 pounds, won to give the Hoosiers a 12-6 cushion.

Freshman and No. 23-ranked 174-pound Devin Skatzka dominated his

match, recording takedowns and back points in route to a tech fall victory that extended IU’s lead to 17-6.

To cap off the four-match run, 184-pound senior No. 6 Nate Jackson secured a major decision victory to ensure a perfect 19-0 record for the senior in the dual meet season.

IU now has two weeks to prepare for the Big Ten Championships in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall and an atmosphere some of the Hoosier wrestlers haven’t

had sink in just yet.

Goldman said the experience will be good for most of his wrestlers, who he said may not yet realize what awaits them in Assembly Hall in the beginning of March.

“When it really rolls around and turns into the venue that it is, with all the fans, when they are able to be here in Bloomington with the familiarity, I think it will be something they remember and compete well,” Goldman said.
