State of conflict Protesters interrupted Provost’s campus address with banner, signs, questions By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjo

U’s contributions on a state and national level were a driving theme Tuesday in Provost Lauren Robel’s 2017 State of the Campus Address. Robel detailed some achievements by researchers, administrators and students on the Bloomington campus in the past year and outlined how they fit into the Bicentennial Strategic Plan, which was introduced in her 2014 speech. Despite the positive focus of the speech, the event was not without its speed bumps. Students Agasint State Violence protesters advocating for a sanctuary campus resolution stood in front of the podium in President’s Hall almost ten minutes into the provost’s speech. They unfurled a banner that read “Sanctuary Now!” and held other handmade signs. They stood silently for another 20 minutes before one protester attempted to turn the event into

“Together, we are a strong and a necessary force for good in this world. It’s an honor to serve this extraordinary place, and it’s a privilege to be in a position to say thank you to the outstanding people who are devoted to it.” Provost Lauren Robel

a press conference by asking the provost how she would respond if immigration enforcement conducted a raid on campus that day. The provost offered to continue the conversation after finishing her address, but the protesters continued to question her. However, after scolding by a member of the Bloomington Faculty Council and threat of arrest by the IU Police Department, the protesters exited President’s Hall, and the speech continued. “If you’re willing to stay with me, I’m

happy to continue,” Robel told the crowd, which erupted into applause. “And I’ll talk faster.” The protesters had begun their questioning as the provost was listing cultural initiatives like First Thursdays and China Remixed, a festival celebrating the global contributions of Chinese artists. In their questioning, they asked why she touted international initiatives if she could not declare the University to be a sanctuary campus. Robel is no stranger to sanctuary campus activists. At a Bloomington Faculty Council meeting in January, the sanctuary campus activitsts were given much of the speaking time to express their concerns and grievances. A February forum on campus climate and the fears of undocumented students featured the provost among other top administrators. After Tuesday’s address, Robel said she understood the protesters. Her only wish was that SEE STATE, PAGE 8

Bloomington Unplugged begins this month

Executive order on travel updated President Trump signed an executive order Monday to ban international travel to the United States from six predominantly Muslim countries for 90 days. This order is a revised version of an order Trump signed Jan. 27 that banned travel from seven countries. Iraq has been removed from the list in the revised order. Other changes to the revised order include the exemption of permanent residents and current visa holders from the travel ban and the removal of phrasing that prioritized the entry into the U.S. of religious minorities. The new order also changes the indefinite ban on refugees from Syria into a 120-day ban that must be reviewed and renewed to continue for any longer. The text of the order was revised after the original was blocked by a federal appeals court. The order retains its central component. The number of refugees permitted to enter the United States each year will be cut from about 110,000 to about 50,000. It also continues to call for the data collection and publication of crimes committed by immigrants. It will be implemented gradually in the next two weeks rather than being put into action on the day of issue as was attempted with the original order.

Bloomington residents, IU students, and old and current roommates welcomed IU senior Kacie Swierk at the Venue Fine Arts and Gifts to play guitar for Bloomington Unplugged. David Colman, assistant to the curator, said the Venue is host to Bloomington Unplugged every first Tuesday of the month. The Venue has been doing this for the past four years. Colman said the process of inviting a performer to their Bloomington Unplugged event is typically a two-way street and sometimes the musician contacts them asking to play for the events. “If I hear somebody or see somebody that I particularly enjoy, I’ll invite them to perform, and she sent us a CD and asked if she could perform, and we said yes,” Colman said. Swierk began her show at Bloomington Unplugged with “Bonfire Blues,” song performed with a strong voice that filled the intimate setting around the audience. A common theme throughout her music was goodbyes and letting things go, and she introduced each song by telling audiences about the meaning.. Swierk said she has a hard time categorizing her music into one genre but said her performance was all acoustic and would fall under folk. She is of Irish heritage from her mother’s side. “Before I started playing music I wasn’t really huge into roots and heritage and stuff, but now that I’ve gotten more of a sound and background I’m like, ‘oh this is really interesting,’” Swierk said. Along with telling personal anecdotes, Swierk also interacted with the audience with light hearted jokes about her set list.

Senior Kacie Swierk preforms “Come Home,” a song written from the perspective of her grandmother, who recently found she had an adopted sister. Swierk has played the piano and guitar since she was young.

“I’m just going to run a bunch of originals together, and eventually I’ll throw in a cover, so just holler if it becomes unbearable,” Swierk said. Comfortable with the audience, Swierk encouraged the members to sing along with part of her cover of John Mayer’s “Waiting on the World to Change” and parts of the Beatles “Let it Be.” When it came to the choruses, Swierk’s roommates took the first step by leading everyone to sing along. Swierk said she has been involved in music since she was young. She said she considers piano to be her main instrument, but for events like Bloomington Unplugged she plays her guitar. Swierk is originally from Chicago but came to Bloomington for

school in 2013. She took a break during her education and moved out to Seattle. Swierk said when she was in Seattle, she was dealing with chronic illness, and and she turned to music as an outlet. “Piano had always been my outlet to have a safe space emotion wise,” Swierk said. “I didn’t have a piano anymore out there. I just had my guitar, and it basically came naturally.” During this time Swierk said she had a lot to say. Swierk was just playing for her happiness before thinking she should perform. “Before performance came in mind, it was just a do it for me type of thing,” Swierk said. During Swierk’s performance, Colman clapped along. Colman said what he enjoys about

Bloomington Unplugged is how the Venue is different from other locations. “My favorite part is that you can hear these performers in other places, but they tend to be clubs and bars,” Colman said. “What we do is set it up here so that we have a tentative audience and the performers get a chance to play uninterrupted.”

IU climbed to the No. 34 spot in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings Tuesday after its 4-3 victory against rival Purdue last weekend. After losing the doubles point in the early stage of the match, the Hoosiers came back by winning four of its six singles matchups against the Boilermakers. The ITA placed IU as the No. 37 team last week after it upset No. 32 Washington on the road. Junior doubles pair Raheel Manji and Keivon Tabrizi went up to the No. 49 spot in the doubles rankings after being placed at No. 50 in the Feb. 21 rankings, despite Manji missing the last three matches due to a lower leg injury. Sophomore Antonio Cembellin dropped out of the top-125 singles rankings even after winning his singles matchup against Purdue this weekend at position one in straight sets. IU will travel to San Diego during spring break to get outdoor practice time and will have its only matchup of the break against Texas Tech in San Diego on March 16. The Red Raiders are unranked but have one ranked singles player in No. 63 Jolan Cailleau and a ranked doubles team, No. 53 Connor Curry and Ronit Bisht. Juan Alvarado

Parents attempt to restore Tri Delt chapter By Larmie Sanyon lsanyon@indiana.edu | @LarmieSanyon

On Saturday the national organization of Delta Delta Delta came to Bloomington to shut down the local chapter’s operations. The national organization claims the chapter had acted inappropriately and failed to abide by the sorority’s standards. For now, Tri Delt’s greek letters have been taken down, and its status remains unknown. The announcement was met with anger and confusion from the chapter and primarily members’ parents, who have been vocal about their concerns. One mother, Catherine White, started a change.org petition to encourage the national organization to reinstate the sorority at IU. At the time of publication, the petition had 1,142 supporters on the website. Those who signed said they want to make the national chapter understand their anger. Tri Delt nationals were not available for comment. White said even if their daughters did do something inappropriate or unlawful, it is still wrong for nationals to keep them in the dark while punishing them. That’s why several parents have hired a lawyer to petition their case for reinstatement, she said. White said from what parents and the sorority understand the girls are being punished for no reason. “All girls — I don’t buy that,” White said. “Disrespectful to who? Give me the details, and it doesn’t seem like it’s backed up.” She said her daughter, sophomore Francesca White, is a good student and does not

deserve to be treated poorly. Catherine White’s concerns were echoed by Laura Schoch and Connie Hudson, both mothers of sophomores in the sorority. “If you are not telling me, and you are kicking them off campus, it leads me to think that it’s something really bad,” Schoch said. She said the women are feeling frustrated and misrepresented for alleged actions that their nationals have not specified, and the lack of communication leads her to think something bad is going on and that the nationals are trying to cover up something. Hudson, another concerned mother and voice against the shut down, said

she had a better understanding of what was going on after talking to the house’s executive board Sunday for a couple hours. She said the nationals were enraged because of some comments made by the sorority members in poor taste. It has to be more because that would be too petty a reason to shut down a chapter, especially when the girls had been working toward getting off probation, she said. “The nationals had set timelines where they would meet with them,” Hudson said. “When the girls tried to meet with them, nationals would say they were busy or on vacation. They weren’t supporting the girls at all.”

She also said, as far as she understands, nationals went behind the women’s backs by accessing one of their computers with recruitment photos and comments. One of the comments described a woman as being too much of a “Jewish American princess” and another too “bitchy.” It was these comments that set things in motion, Hudson said. She said she was not going to stand back and let her daughter’s name be dragged in the mud for unclear infractions. She wanted to speak up for the chapter in this confusing time, she said. White, who created the petition to nationals, said she knew everything

IU offers break travel opportunities By Audrey Lee audhlee@umail.iu.edu @Audrey_H_Lee

People may avoid planning trips to California and Florida during early to mid March due to the annual exodus of college students to these places; however, there are trips for students to other parts of the country. Some of these trips are sponsored by IU clubs, such as IU Outdoor Adventures and Cru at IU, and other trips are being planned by students alone. Spring break is traditionally seen as a time for college students to kick back, relax, let loose and take a week to forget about the stresses of school. Hollywood movies, such as “Spring Breakers,” often portray this as a time for parties on Florida beaches, and while some students will opt to travel to somewhere with warm weather, many are choosing to travel the country in hopes of making a difference. One opportunity for spring break travel can be found through Cru. Cru is an on-campus Christian ministry club that encourages its members

to get out in the world and evangelize. This spring break Cru is participating in an event through Big Break. Big Break is a Cru organization that creates conferences for college students to participate in during school breaks. A group of IU Cru club members are traveling to Panama Beach, Florida. While there they will be attending a conference. This conference is designed to teach the Cru students how to improve their evangelism skills. The students will also get some time to hang out on the beach and evangelise to the people around them. “Community is a huge component of this trip, and there will be countless opportunities to meet new people,” trip leader Kendra Miller said. The trip is open to all IU students, and Miller said Cru would love to have more people sign up. Another campus organization, IU Outdoor Adventures, is taking four different trips this spring break. Students are headed to Chattanooga, Tennessee; Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon; the Smoky Mountains; and Utah. This organization’s

primary goal is to get students into nature by being active and having fun. “There are still some spots open, especially for the Chattanooga trip,” trip leader Mitch McCune said. McCune said the trips are a great way for students to do something adventurous. Activities on the trips include backpacking, whitewater rafting, camping and rock climbing. All of the IU Outdoor Adventure trips will cost students between $500 and $850, with the more expensive trips being to the farther-off destinations. IU Outdoor Adventures schedules trips whenever there is a scheduled school break, not just during the spring. This means that even if IU students can’t participate in adventures this spring break, there will be other opportunities in the summer and next winter. The IU Outdoor Adventure group is also an option for international students. McCune said the group has many international students involved. “Diversity and inclusion are a big part of our values.” McCune said.

Student visas make travel in the United States possible, and the IU Outdoor Adventure trips offer international students opportunities to see the country outside Bloomington. However, not all international students will be jetting off for spring break. Some, like freshman Avi Jain , will be staying on campus for break. “I will probably visit Indianapolis for a few days.” Jain said. Jain said she sees it as important to familiarize herself with her local surroundings while saving money for future adventures. “I’d like to travel to Europe in the future.” Jain said. Spring break may not warrant enough time for full blown European adventure, but many IU students are still making the most of their breaks. Whether it is travel close to home or across the country, these organizations offer IU students the chance to explore the world around them and learn while doing it. “It’s a great opportunity for students to come and do something adventurous.” McCune said.

was not right but did not suspect such a drastic action. She knew that they had to keep their probationary status from their recruits, but she did not think things would end how they did. When she visited two weekends ago for mom’s weekend she said she heard concerns from other moms. Schoch was one of the parents who tried to contact nationals about the status of the chapter going through recruitment and the rest of the school year but could not get an answer. The parents have hired Peter French of Benesch Law in Indianapolis. French said he did not know enough about the case to comment just yet. However, he said their goal

was to reverse the decision. Schoch said her daughter is confused and this decision could not have come at a worse time. This is midterm week, and the women are being dragged in and out of meetings, and trying to secure their house or other housing options while juggling a lot of emotions. The most astonishing part is that they do not know exactly why this all happened, she said. “It’s like throwing someone in jail and not telling them why,” Schoch said. “They are in this jail, and no one is listening to them. They are saying ‘we didn’t do that. We didn’t do anything wrong,’ and no one is listening.”

All-gender sign found damaged in Student Building By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford

People on the third floor of the Student Building noticed Monday an all-gender bathroom sign appeared to have been ripped off a wall and left hanging by paint and plaster. Behind the sign were the letters M and N, with a space in between. It was unclear if the lettering had been behind the sign prior to the damage or if this was an act of vandalism. Any motivation behind the damage and possible vandalism is unknown. The sign is for one of two all-gender bathrooms in the building. The other one appeared to be untouched and is on the opposite side of the third floor. The ground and first floors of the building offer multi-stall men and women bathrooms, while the second floor has two bathrooms, one men and one women. The third floor is the only one with all-gender bathrooms. The damage comes at a time when transgender and bathroom issues are at the forefront of the nation’s political discussion. On Monday, the Supreme Court decided not to hear the case of the transgender boy Gavin Grimm, according to an article in the New York Times. Grimm has been fighting to use the boys’ bathroom at his high school in Virginia under Title IX,

which bans discrimination based on sex in schools that receive federal funding. The Supreme Court declining to hear the case means no conclusion on transgender rights in relation with Title IX will be reached this term by the Supreme Court, which leaves the decisions of Grimm’s case and others to lower courts, the article said. Last month, President Trump retracted former President Barack Obama’s guidance to public schools to allow students to use the bathroom of their preference depending on their gender identity. It is currently unknown whether or not the incident in the Student Building is a result of the current national controversy. The most recently published IU Police Department call logs did not list an incident reported at the Student Building. At the time of publication IUPD had not returned an IDS request for information.

Refugee center leaders discuss local refugees and religion By Emily Berryman eberryma@indiana.edu Ember_Otter

Four panel members from refugee centers across Bloomington and southern Indiana gathered Tuesday evening at the Beth Shalom Congregation to discuss the refugee situation and how it related to the Bloomington community. Heidi Smith, director of Indy Archdiocese Refugee Services; Cassandra Housley from Beth Shalom Task Force on Refugee Resettlement; Geshe Kunga from the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center; and Kadhim Shaaban, chair of the Arab American Association of Bloomington, were all members of the panel.

Housley and Smith shared stories of their experiences setting up a refugee resettlement center, and Kunga shared, through a translator, his own experience as a refugee from Tibet for the last 56 years and how he walked through the Himilayas and knew he would either leave his country alive or die in the mountains Shaaban, on the other hand, shared his personal experiences working directly with settling families and the types of resources needed to aid them. “If you see the suffering of the people walking across the borders of Syria,” Shaaban said. “I remember seeing footage of one child who lost everything. He was about 5 years old, and he was being

helped by two refugees into Germany to no future. This is a human dilemma. It requires cooperation and participation. I know it is a part of the Jewish and Christian faiths, and it is a tenant of Islam communities to help the others as their brothers.” Kunga said in the universe there are so many different types of people, but they are all family. He said when people pray from the bottom of their hearts they create a little bit of positive change in minds and in the world. The feeling of helping other humans and seeing everyone as a member of the same family was a common theme before the discussion before the panel opened up the floor to questions.

They all addressed ways to have a conversation about the refugee crisis with those who are opposed to the idea. Smith discussed just how strict the vetting process is and how difficult it is to get approved. “They check out every detail of the refugee’s story, and everything has to check out,” Smith said. “People do not understand the process takes longer than the claimed 1824 months — much longer.” Even the smallest detail can mean the difference between getting accepted into the United States and denial, Smith said. She also mentioned how, with the current political climate, the number of accepted refugees has been capped at 50,000, and the low

number is destabilizing a once robust and well-organized system as refugee centers fire workers and cut costs from lack of funding. For the last year, Bloomington communities have been organizing to help refugees and even had the city approved as a refugee resettlement location through Exodus, which works to arrange housing, food and clothing, case management, as well as education, employment and health services for refugees in Indiana. Diane Legomsky, chairwoman of the Bloomington Refugee Support Network, and several others at Beth Shalom set up a task force one year ago, and the force has grown substantially. “We basically determined

this is something that is happening in the world, and we need to take a stand,” Housley said. “It started with education, spreading the word, making sure people understood the situation. After the first step, we realized there was an energy there, and then we created the Bloomington Refugee Support Network. We began doing ground work, reaching out to other religious communities and had contact with the mysterious entity called Exodus, which would hopefully help resettle refugees.” With current politics, the process of settling refugees has been flipped, Housley said. Nevertheless, she assured everyone the people in the resettlement programs remain as committed as ever.

Workshops inform immigrants of rights By Molly Grace mograce@indiana.edu | @MolloGrace

Nettie Garza said she wants to go visit her grandmother, whom she hasn’t seen in nine years, in Mexico. She has been saving up money to make the trip, but now, Garza, a green card holder, is scared to leave the country. Garza, 29, attended Bloomington Immigrant Rights Coalition’s “Know Your Rights” workshop Tuesday evening. She wanted to be informed on what to do if her resident status is questioned in the wake of President Trump’s executive order on immigration and international travel. Tuesday’s workshop was the second in a series of five workshops at the Monroe County Public Library that will teach immigrants their rights if questioned by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Folders filled with information were handed out prior to the presentation. They included an examples of what a warrant would look like from both ICE and a judge and resources for immigrants. Daniela Gutiérrez, joined onstage by Willy Palomo of the UndocuHoosier Alliance

and Christie Popp of Popp Immigration Law Office, stepped up to the microphone shortly after 6 p.m. to introduce the event. They switched back and forth between English and Spanish. The attendees were told they didn’t have to open the door for an ICE officer unless the officer had a warrant, and they could ask an ICE officer if they were free to go if stopped on the street. They have the right to see a lawyer before signing anything. Pro bono lawyers were available after the presentation in the upstairs rooms of the library to give advice or to help people set up power of attorneys. Mental health counselors were also available for people to talk to. Gutiérrez, a Ph.D. student in gender studies at IU and an international student from Colombia, helped to organize the workshops in response to the executive order. “We thought it would be important for the IU students and the Bloomington community at large to know their rights, have something to reference, some kind of training, so that they could be prepared in case the worst happened,” she said. The room was filled with

mostly women, some of whom were accompanied by children. For many of them, their biggest concern for the evening was to talk to a lawyer about power of attorney papers, to be able to plan for their children’s safety in the event that they are deported. A 29-year-old woman

named Deyanira sat in the auditorium with her three daughters. Deyanira was there to learn about how to protect herself and her family because both she and her husband are undocumented. She was most interested in speaking to a lawyer about filing

a power of attorney to make sure she has a contingency plan for her girls. Garza said there is a lot of fear of what’s to come in the Bloomington immigrant community. “I have friends who are scared of going to work,” Garza said. “They don’t know

what to do if they’re driving to work or their kids to school and they’re stopped.” She said many people are especially worried about the new rules that allow local police enforcement to act as immigration officers. “We are not safe anymore,” she said.

Man who ran multi-million dollar drug ring in custody By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu | @ttelford1883

An Avon, Indiana, man in federal custody headed a multi-million dollar national drug ring that trafficked cocaine and meth through Indiana, according to federal prosecutors. Rafael Rojas-Reyes, 34, is facing many felony charges: possession of methamphetamine, conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and continuing criminal enterprise. Rojas-Reyes helped run a drug ring distributing drugs

from Mexico throughout the United States to Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, California and Arizona, according to the office of U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler. “Those who chose to spread illegal drugs and the addictions that follow will be held accountable and experience the wrath of federal prosecution,” Minkler said in a press release. Between July 2015 and September 2016, the ring Rojas-Reyes operated, along with Hector Saul CastroAguirre, aka Chapito, of Nogales, Mexico, made millions of dollars. Drug Enforcement Administration officers secured

warrants to tap multiple phones in the case, which was essential to tracking the ring’s operations. A confidential informant also cooperated with police, helping officers find locations of transfers of thousands of dollars in cash and substances. Court documents detail the conversations officers recorded, which included numerous arrangements for drug deliveries at private residences and in parking lots at Target, Birrieria Andrade Estilo Jalisco and El Pastorcito, two Mexican restaurants, all in Indianapolis. In some phone calls, members of the ring questioned each other about their

One beabull puppy, shoplifted, found By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

A missing puppy has been found and three 13-year-olds apprehended for shoplifting after a theft Monday from a local pet store. The dog was found and returned Tuesday afternoon after Anthony’s Pets owner Tony Taboas saw the teens who police believed had stolen the puppy, Bloomington Police Capt. Steve Kellams said in an email. The teens were referred to juvenile probation. Earlier in the day, before the dog had been found, Taboas expressed concern for the stolen canine’s well-being. She is sick and had been in the midst of treatment for an upper respiratory infection. “Nothing super serious, but she needs her antibiotics,” Anthony’s Pets owner Tony Taboas said. “She was doing well and on the mend, but going off them will not be good.” The 3-month old pup was

too new at the store to have a name. Her brother had been taken by a new owner a few days earlier through the proper channels. However, the unnamed beagle-English bulldog mix — Beabull Doe, perhaps — exited Anthony’s Pets under graver circumstances. Police responded at about 8 p.m. Monday to the store, though by that time, she was already gone. The scene of the crime was a makeshift sick room in the back of the store. About 6 p.m. that night, a group of four teenagers came into the store, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said. They kept leaving and reentering the store, which made the manager on duty suspicious. At about 7 p.m., the manager went to the back room and found it locked. When he opened the door, he found the kennel door open and the brindle-and-white beabull gone. A door across the room exits the store.

Security camera footage showed a teenage girl entering the sick room but does not show her leaving, Kellams said, which points to the back exit as the getaway route. Taboas, who has owned the store for seven years and worked in the pet industry since 1991, has had animals taken before, he said. “It doesn’t happen often,” he said. “Usually it’s just kids being stupid.” The beabull pup was a recent arrival at Anthony’s, Taboas said. She’d come to the store Feb. 23. Potential owners are sometimes turned off by pre-named pets, and employees get attached enough without naming the animals, so she hadn’t been given a name. The crime was designated shoplifting. She may have been nameless and for sale, but this beabull also lived and breathed — perhaps with some difficulty — as she was taken from her kennel.

loyalties, according to court documents. “Listen — you’re not a police?” one asked in a conversation May 25, 2016, in the middle of a three-pound meth order. “No, not at all,” the other replied. “Snitch?” “No, no.” Later that day, agents working the case pulled over ring members driving a White Ford Focus, who were delivering the meth that was ordered during the phone call. In the traffic stop, agents searched the car and found a shoebox with three pounds of meth, hidden behind the driver’s legs.

Afterward, agents got a search warrant for the house on the west side of Indianapolis, the car had been head to. At the house, officers seized 12 pounds of meth, digital scales, multiple cell phones, packaging materials and multiple fake Social Security cards. A 25-page indictment outlines the breadth of the operation. So far, 16 others have been indicted for their involvement with the drug ring, including several people from southern Indiana. They are Oscar Macias, 22; Merath Mora-Chavez, 32; Francisco Toledo-Santos, 29; Roberto S. Macias, 42; Elvia Barrios-Moreno, 50; Aldo

Machado-Castro, 40; John Ramirez-Prado, 34; Rafael Lnu; Yesenia Andrade-Guillen, 38; Jesus Lopez-Acosta; Julio Cesar Cebrero-Alvarez, 34; Jose Manuel CarrilloTremillo, 50; Cristian Garcia, 25; and Melvin Peralta, 27. The DEA, Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Carmel Police Department and Indianapolis Metropolitan Drug Task Force collaborated during the investigation. A pretrial conference for all named in this case is scheduled for 2 p.m. Aug. 23. A jury trial is scheduled for 9 a.m. Sept. 11.

BRIAN’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

Reform IUSA elections

ILLUSTRATION BY MERCER T. SUPPIGER | IDS

DNC chooses establishment The Democratic Party will not move forward under Tom Perez After its loss in November’s presidential election, the Democratic Party is in clear need of reform. The scandal surrounding the emails of former Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Florida, in particular caused many in and outside of the party to question the legitimacy of Hillary Clinton’s nomination. And yet, presented with the opportunity to make a change, Democrats chose to stick with business as usual. Former labor secretary Thomas Perez, now the first Latino chair of the DNC, was elected Feb. 25 to lead the party for the next four years. Perez is not an inherently flawed candidate. He ran on a platform of restoring unity and emphasized renewed attention to grassroots movements. He previously served as the United States Secretary of Labor and as a civil rights attorney. He is exactly the sort of person you would expect to hold a position like DNC chair, and his victory was not a surprise. That’s the problem. Continuing on with the same breed of leaders, no matter their promises to put

“values in action,” will cause the Democratic Party to lose a great deal of potential from the perspective of the many Americans who were disappointed with its prior performance. Perez’s path to his new leadership status is also somewhat troubling to the Editorial Board, given that his candidacy and victory were facilitated by support from party members who had worked in the Obama administration. These members, according to the Los Angeles Times, “stood to lose lucrative party contracts” if Perez lost. Rep. Keit Ellison, D-Minnesota, was Perez’s main contender, but he isn’t the candidate we would have chosen either. The Editorial Board believes the DNC would have been able to repair broken trust generally and best address its failing relationship with rural and working-class voters specifically, under the direction of Pete Buttigieg. Buttigieg has twice been elected mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and though he used his nomination speech to withdraw from the race after having been overshadowed

during the campaign by Perez and Ellison, we think he would have been the best choice. His impressive background would have made him a leader in which the largest possible majority of the voting public could have found something to support. Buttigieg’s education includes degrees in history and literature from Harvard and in philosophy, politics and economics from Oxford. He received the Joint Service Commendation Medal for his counterterrorism work as an officer in the Navy Reserve in Afghanistan in 2014. And, crucially, his popularity and success in a city like South Bend, Indiana, whose lengthy decline after the loss of its Studebaker plant makes it the epitome of contemporary struggles in the American heartland, prove that he is capable of spearheading the kinds of reforms that would make the DNC successful. Because of his commitment to revitalizing local government and the ambition of his plan to repurpose the kinds of vacant and abandoned properties that are problematic for many formerly factory-dependent

Midwestern communities, tech industry professionals and organizations like Code for America, a nonprofit that uses technology to improve government policy, are breathing new life into an otherwise dying city. At a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Notre Dame in June 2016, Buttigieg aptly noted “there are a lot of people who think they lost their jobs because of globalization when they actually lost their jobs because of technology,” and his work as mayor shows an effort to address that misconception. The Studebaker factory, which closed in 1963, will be renovated as a “mixed-use technology campus ... for manufacturing, technology firms, business incubators, training and education,” according to the South Bend Tribune. “Sitting back and waiting for the map and demographics to save us — that’s not going to be enough,” Buttigieg said in the speech that announced his candidacy for DNC chair. We can only hope Perez will recognize that issue and earnestly pursue reform as he shapes the future of the Democratic Party.

WEEKLY WISDOM

Holding Republicans to a higher standard This is starting to look familiar. We have a secret bill brought forth early from a new Congress, massive protests at congressmen’s and senators’ town halls and a largely politically-unknown president looking to leave a legacy. The parallels between 2009 and 2017 are starting to become alarmingly similar. In 2009 we had the nebulous creation of the Affordable Care Act, and now we have the shrouded formulation of a Republican bill to replace it. This week provided the largest disappointment the new Congress has given us yet: keeping a healthcare bill in secret in order to hide the drafting process from the people. When the House leadership did reveal its Obamacare replacement bill, it was equally disappointing. If the GOP is to retain the historic levels of control it has in Congress and the states, it must hold itself to a higher

standard. The Republican party has been entrusted by the American people to right the wrongs and fix the excesses of the Obama years. Republicans in Congress must practice transparency and fulfill their major promises from the election, otherwise they will deserve the losses they are sure to suffer in 2018 and beyond. Political website Talking Points Memo quotes Michael Needham, CEO of Heritage’s activist organization as remarking that the bill “not only accepts the flawed progressive premises of Obamacare but expands upon them.” The bill keeps healthcare subsidies, offering them in the form of tax credits and retains the individual mandate in spirit with continuous coverage requirements. The president and many members of Congress promised us they full repeal and replace Obamacare if they were elected. This has been a

rallying cry of the right since the Tea Party movement. If the GOP backs away from this now, it will be a fundamental betrayal of their voters. I may never vote Democrat, but there are looking to be more and more Republicans I would not support either. Certain members of the party get it. All weekend, Rand Paul R-KY organized a public campaign with his staffers and Democrats across Washington, D.C., to humorously look for the bill. Paul was denied the ability to view the bill, and he tweeted that his staff was “continuing (thier) search” to find it in a scavenger hunt-esque joke. This worked to simultaneously raise awareness of how House leadership had cut the American people out of deciding how 18 percent of their economy will be run and to highlight Paul’s own replacement bill, one conservative groups are much more

excited about. This sort of intelligent publicity stunt and devotion to electoral promises would serve the GOP well. Fortunes in politics, as in poker, change quickly. Republicans are holding most of the chips right now, but that is far from a guarantee of future success. One does not have to look back too many years to see the self-assured pronouncements from the left about the “permanent electoral majority” that Obama had assembled. The Republican party must hold itself to a higher standard than the “pass it to find out what is in it” Democrats held themselves to under Nancy Pelosi. The American people sent historic numbers of Republicans to D.C., to fulfill eight years of promises. Time to get to it. zaochamb@umail.iu.edu

Student elections with victors chosen by 6 percent of the student body, the announcing of winners delayed by legal challenges to a student court and a resulting student Congress that only passes two bills in a year do not serve any of us. At the heart of these problems is a broken IU Student Association election code that allows the IUSA Supreme Court to decide elections. To reform IUSA elections and our student government, we must remove the IUSA Supreme Court from its role in determining elections through a complete restructuring of the University campaign finance system. Tickets can have votes deducted by the IUSA Supreme Court for minor violations that often come from the burden of interpreting a convoluted election code and not serious offenses like intentional voter fraud. The idea that accidental campaign finance errors about T-shirt purchases should determine election outcomes, like they did in 2015, is absurd. The source of many of these “violations” is an Election Commission-imposed $3,000 cap on ticket spending. Candidates have to deal with Kafka-esque accounting rules on candidate versus donor spending, a nebulous definition of “free market value” used to price campaign expenditures and other regulations to abide by the $3,000 cap. A possible reform effort that would remove the court from the process would be to take a page from the federal and states election codes and allow for public financing backed up by a voter

signature ballot access requirement. Tickets would register early in the spring semester and have a month to collect 500 electronic student “voter signatures” to have access to the ballot. Tickets that fulfill this requirement would be put on the ballot and receive funding from IUSA for somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000 to begin their races. Public financing of tickets would ensure that students with less financial resources would not be stopped from running and would allow the removal of the $3,000 total spending cap. Tickets would then be allowed to raise an unlimited amount of money in small amounts from individual donors — a rough level might be $100-$250 per person. Finally, the Election Commission should eliminate the Supreme Court’s ability to deduct vote totals and limit its ability to disqualify tickets to only cases of serious voter fraud. All other minor election violations would have fines assessed instead. This would ensure fair access to IUSA elections for all students, remove the main source of campaign finance violations and allow for broader outreach to the student body by active tickets. Most importantly, these reforms would put IU’s student government back where it belongs — in students’ hands. br.gamache@gmail.com

KLEIN OF A BIG DEAL

Keep funding the arts The Office of Management and Budget, which prepares the president’s budget proposal for consideration in Congress, is scheduled March 13 to release a list of programs Trump plans to eliminate as he works toward balancing the federal budget. That budget would prioritize military spending and use cuts in other areas to increase the defense fund. The United States’ $610 billion military fund eclipses the military budgets of the next seven countries behind us. President Trump apparently wants to increase that spending by 9 percent, and his plan relies, in part, on the elimination of the National Endowments for the Arts to free up the extra money. As a financial measure, this decision makes no sense. The NEA had a budget of only $148 million in 2016, which meant it only used 0.004 percent of the federal budget as a whole. NEA grants are actually more lucrative than draining because they often use indemnity agreements to help organizations cover the costs of insurance for art exhibitions. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, for example, will require assistance from the NEA to display several works by Michelangelo for which the insurance amounts to $2.4 billion. Separate from indemnity assistance, the actual NEA grants typically offer approximately $26,000 for the realization of ambitious, public-serving art projects, and the recipients are

required to match the grants they receive dollar for dollar. Art communities across the nation are responding defiantly, as they should. The nonprofit Americans for the Arts has set about creating 5,000 local councils staffed by 300,000 citizen activists “to flood members of Congress with calls, sing a petition to the White House and generally get the message out” about saving art from the criminal underestimation of the current commander in chief. I knew a Trump presidency would require renewed defense of many social programs that had been previously established, and the contents of his budget proposal are only the latest additions to a long list of offenses. Luckily, although there is much that this shortsighted man can take away, the ability to create is beyond his reach. That said, our government should have a responsibility to protect and promote art. As the Association of Art Museum Directors wrote in a statement released Jan. 19, “it is the mark of a great democracy to support the arts, which are an expression of what makes us human.” Trump, if he is truly committed to making America great, will leave the National Endowment for the Arts intact. mareklei@umail.iu.edu

FOOTBALL

Coaches looking at Fant to lead cornerbacks By Jordan Guskey jguskey@umail.iu.edu | @JordanGuskey

IU cornerbacks coach Brandon Shelby said he has seen the play of Hoosier teams in the past five years follow a specific theme. One side of the ball thrives, the other falters, and the Hoosiers finish the season with a losing record. IU’s back-to-back bowl appearances are a sign of improvement, but both seasons came with 6-7 records. Past Hoosier defenses could blame some miscues on an inexperienced secondary, but Shelby said that excuse won’t fly in 2017. Rising senior Rashard Fant leads a group of cornerbacks who come into the 2017 season with starting experience, including rising junior Tyler Green and rising sophomores Andre Brown Jr. and A’Shon Riggins. Shelby said that experience allows IU to build depth at the position, and the players who populate the depth chart have the opportunity to learn from a seasoned veteran like Fant. To Shelby, Fant is the reliable, old Cadillac of the group. Shelby knows what to expect from him and in 2017 expects Fant to be a vocal leader who holds everyone accountable when Shelby isn’t there to do

so himself. Shelby said he has already seen Fant take the initiative. “What I see him doing a lot of is getting guys in the film room on the side, teaching those guys what he knows as a corner, because ultimately I’m not out there,” Shelby said. “I’m too old and too slow. What they see out there in game speed might be a little different from me sitting in the back with the clicker rewinding.” IU Coach Tom Allen said he has seen Fant recognize the importance of making the most of his last spring ball with the Hoosiers but wants to see him do it more consistently. “Sometimes in that position you can kind of just be your own guy out there, and that’s OK when you’re

younger,” Allen said. “But, as a leader, as an upperclassman senior now coming back after a chance to go pro or not go pro, and he decided to stay, I want to see him elevate and really impact the whole team by his practice habits.” After the first spring practice, Allen said wide receivers coach Grant Heard told him

he was impressed with Fant’s ability to cover. When IU goes up against Big Ten powers like Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State, Shelby said Fant is going to be the guy the Hoosiers rely on to cover each team’s top target. Fant said this spring he’s focused on what he needs to go up against the conference’s

top receivers. That means treating his technique on each play with more importance than he might have earlier in his IU career when the goal was to make plays rather than practice the correct technique. Whether Fant ensures his teammates are following his lead on the field during

practice or in the film room, Allen doesn’t mince words when predicting the possible effect it could have on him. “That’s where a guy like him can really take his game to another level and really sharpen his skills so he can be the kind of NFL player he wants to be in the future,” Allen said.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Schmider and Appel fall in rankings after third loss From IDS reports

IU senior Kim Schmider and sophomore Madison Appel dropped to No. 39 in the NCAA women’s tennis doubles pair rankings Tuesday, two weeks after knocking off the No. 1 pair in the country. The duo of Appel and Schmider beat a pair of ranked doubles teams two weekends ago and moved to No. 19, but a loss this weekend knocked them down in the list of the top 80 pairs in the nation.

Schmider was slowed by an undisclosed illness immediately after her and Appel’s big weekend. They were unable to play together in the Hoosiers’ dual match against DePaul and IUPUI in late February. Last weekend, Schmider and Appel were back together in their first match as the No. 19-ranked doubles team. In their first match against Christina Jordan and Kaja Mrgole from West Virginia, the Hoosiers went down 4-0 to begin.

They battled back to knot the score at four but didn’t have enough in the tank and lost the match 6-4. Schmider and Appel bounced back in their second match of the day against Xiwei Cai and Ana Sofia Cordero from Southern Illinois-Carbondale with a 6-1 victory. Due to their loss to WVU, they fell to No. 39, but the duo is still 22-3 on the season and will have more opportunities to take on some higher ranked pairs as the season goes into

Big Ten play. Schmider and Appel, along with the rest of the team, will be in action again this Saturday in their first Big Ten match against Iowa. Dylan Wallace ADELINA JUSUF | IDS

TRACK AND FIELD

Water polo extends win streak to nine games By Michael Ramirez michrami@indiana.edu | @mramirez9

No. 14 IU water polo entered this weekend’s Harvard Invitational on a five-game winning streak, wins against a ranked opponent in every invite thus far and an appearance on “SportsCenter.” The Hoosiers opened up the weekend in Boston by facing off against No. 16 UC San Diego. The Tritons were coming off a two-game losing streak in games against Pacific and No. 12 UC Santa Barbara. In a tightly contested match, IU came out on top, 7-6, and extended its streak of defeating at least one ranked opponent in every invite it has participated in this season. Junior center Sarah Young suffered a concussion after she was hit in the head with a powerful shot in front of the net, and as a result she exited the game early and was kept out of the rest of the following games that weekend. “We came out hot against San Diego, and then Sarah got hit in the face from about

five yards out,” Castle said. “If she didn’t block that ball with her face, we wouldn’t have won. I felt like we were the better team up to that point, but after Sarah came out we were outplayed.” Castle said even though Young was out for the weekend, junior Jennifer Beadle performed well as her replacement. Day two of the Harvard Invitational saw IU match up against Iona and Siena, two of the Hoosiers’ weaker opponents of the season. Neither team had won a game entering the weekend. IU came out and dominated Iona from start to finish in a 15-8 win, and the matchup against Siena was even better for IU, which won, 12-1. In the effort against Iona, junior defender Kelly Matthews managed to tie a school record of seven goals scored in a single game. Junior goaltender Jessica Gaudreault struggled against the Gaels and allowed eight shots to get by her, the second highest amount she’s given up in a game all season after giving up 20 goals to

road, 6-1. Up next for IU are its first home games of the season: Middle Tennessee will come to Bloomington for three games beginning Friday.

Three members of the IU Track and Field team were honored earlier this week by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association for their efforts during the indoor season. IU Coach Ron Helmer was named the Great Lakes Regional Coach of the Year shortly after winning the Big Ten Men’s Coach of the Year. In his 10th season with the Hoosiers, Helmer secured the men’s Big Ten title for the first time since 2012. Sophomore distance runner Katherine Receveur was named Great Lakes Regional Track Athlete of the Year after her record-setting indoor season. At the Big Ten meet, she finished first in the 5,000-meter run on her way to breaking the school and conference record with a time of 15:28.99. Assistant Coach Mike Erb was honored as the Men’s Track and Field Assistant Coach of the Year for the Great Lakes Regional. He coaches the jumpers, who scored 34 points at the Big Ten meet and played a huge role in capturing the team victory. The IU Track and Field team will compete in the NCAA Championships this weekend in College Station, Texas.

UCLA on Jan. 21. Against Siena, many players who don’t normally play saw a lot of minutes come their way after IU estabslihed a big lead. Castle said he was really impressed with how his team managed to be successful even though they were playing lineups they weren’t used to. “We were able to get a lot of people some chances against Siena, and I thought

that everyone played really well,” Castle said. “I was proud of our girls who don’t get a lot of playing time because they executed when we needed them to.” IU wrapped up the weekend by taking on No. 21 Wagner in a rematch of a game that saw the Hoosiers come out on top earlier in the year. The result this time around was no different, although it was a tightly contested game

in which IU pulled out a 6-5 win to complete an undefeated weekend. “I was happy that we held Wagner to five goals because they’re a good team, and I thought they made some adjustments since the last time we played them,” Castle said. The Hoosiers now take a nine-game winning streak and an 11-2 record into the Aztec Invite in San Diego next weekend.

“Obamacare” replacement introduced Republicans in the House of Representatives presented their plan to replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law Monday. The new plan would remove the current healthcare bill’s requirement that most Americans have health insurance and eliminate the tax penalties currently in place for those without insurance. It would also scale back funding for widespread

Medicaid expansions and no longer require larger employers to offer insurance for fulltime employees. The tax credit system for health insurance would be revised. Tax credits for health insurance are currently based on income. Under the new plan, they would be distributed based on age. The new plan would allow individuals to put more money into tax-free health savings accounts. Several parts of

“Obamacare” would not be changed under its replacement. Children will still be able to stay on their parents’ health insurance policies until the age of 26. Insurers must still fully cover individuals regardless of pre-existing conditions and offer 10 health benefits to everyone they insure. House Republicans offered no estimate of how much it would cost to repeal and replace the current health care law or of how many people would lose or gain health

insurance. House committees plan to vote on the bill without such estimates from the Congressional Budget Office. Several senators, including Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, and representatives such as Rep. Justin Amash, R-Michigan, have voiced concerns that the current version of the new bill would not adequately cover most Americans. The replacement plan would be fully implemented by 2020.

Grunwald Group Show to close Nikki Lane will bring tour to Bloomington

By Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu | @knickele5

Soft, warm lights illuminated the Grunwald Gallery and casted shadows on the stark white walls. The whispers of a small group in the middle of an art critique interrupt the silence that fills the rest of the space. The other conversation stems from the pieces of art that line the perimeter of the room. For the past two weeks, the gallery has showcased one of its BFA Group Shows. Students with work in the show are either first or second year MFA students or non-graduating BFA students from the Studio Art Department within the School of Art and Design, according to the School of Art and Design website. This group show will conclude Thursday, before the beginning of spring break. One artist with work in the gallery this year is Hannah Hadley, a senior BFA in textiles. While the gallery emphasized a variety of different mediums, including ceramics, photography, painting and textiles, Hadley said many different outlets have the potential for art. “We live in a world full of creators,” Hadley said. “Anything can be artistic if provided the right lens.” Hadley said she had some of her artwork displayed in last year’s group show as well. For the second year in a row, her work won the Grunwald Award. “I won the same award again this year, which was a great honor,” Hadley said. Hadley said it took her several months to brainstorm

Senior Ashley VanArsdale’s piece “History of Typography and Transport” resembles an accordion book. Although it required a lot of time and effort, the artist said it was her favorite piece in this year’s gallery.

and construct concepts and pieces to incorporate into this year’s show. Her work was largely inspired by politics and a desire to incorporate light into a seemingly dark time. “I am inspired by human resilience in the face of suffering,” Hadley said. “I was in a dark place because of the recent political climate and had plans to go down a much darker avenue in my work, but when so many peoples’ realities became darker this January I decided that I needed to focus on a more positive energy for personal sanity.” Another senior, Ashley VanArsdale, studies in the graphic design BFA program and works in the Indiana Daily Student advertisement design department. VanArsdale’s work isn’t new to the Grunwald Gallery either — she had her work displayed in last year’s spring 2016 show

and in another display in the Grunwald. For that collection, she was inspired by her study abroad program in Venice, Italy. “Art to me is taking an idea or image from your mind and transforming it into a visual representation that expresses emotion or seeks to evoke emotion from the viewer,” VanArsdale said. She said her favorite piece in this year’s show is her work titled “History of Typography and Transport,” which took her 11 weeks to complete. “The book shows the history of typography and methods of transportation throughout periods of history from Gothic to contemporary along with a preface,” VanArsdale said. “I created an edition of three of these books and built a laser-cut and etched box to house each book.” Another dynamic piece

she worked on was a beehive replica demonstration tool, which was inspired by her semester of research and study of the IU Beekeeping Club, VanArsdale said. “I created the replica beehive to be used by the club to inform new members about the history of the club and how it grew in comparison to how a beehive is started and grown,” VanArsdale said. The two artists said the group show taught them about the importance of planning for an exhibit like this, as well as gave them experience in how to use different mediums to create one cohesive piece. “It allowed me to combine different mediums and areas including graphic design, printmaking, and construction of a three-dimensional object into one work that I feel represents my strengths as a designer,” VanArsdale said.

Nikki Lane, a countrypop singer songwriter, will soon visit Bloomington to perform her top hits. The Stagecoach Spotlight Nikki Lane Highway Queen tour will come to Bloomington with a 7 p.m. show Thursday at the Bluebird Nightclub. Lane will perform alongside Brent Cobb and Jonathan Tyler. Lane said as far as she knows this is her first time coming down to Bloomington for an independent concert, and her confusion as to whether she’s opened here is indicative of the life of a traveling musician. “I think it truly is the first time I’ve played there, but it kind of defines the whole point of the record anyway,” Lane said. “At a certain point, it starts to become white chalk on the highway.” The most exciting part about touring so far has been realizing the band is not playing to empty rooms. “Some of the shows have been learning curves and growing — you have to pay your dues in every city, and every time you come back it gets better,” Lane said. “For example, we just got back from Canada. The first time we went there, money was low and with the amount of people that came out, you wonder, do we go out of our way seven hours to go to Montreal next time?”

Seeing the fan base grow with this most recent Canadian trip, and the tour in general, has been one of the biggest highlights, and Lane said she is excited to add Bloomington to the list of places she has played. In terms of her start in music, Lane said she began playing as a way to spite an ex-boyfriend who, during her time in New York City, discouraged her from giving her input on his music. After the breakup, Lane got her start. “It motivated me to write songs and make a record as a joke and the next thing I knew I had a record deal,” Lane said. “It just kind of fell in my lap.” Lane said she has experience in the world of fashion, and her love of vintage influenced her originality and the character she builds. She also said the connections she has been able to make with people come from both her time in music and fashion. This latest record release allowed Lane to exercise her creative freedom and, though she said she had plenty of say in her music before, this time she finally had the element of confidence in her ability to pick up her instrument and create the music she wanted to make. “No one ever prohibited me from that — you were allowed to stand up and say something — but I was learning everything as I went along, even how to play guitar,” Lane said.

BOOK CORNER

First experiences with short stories are difficult to process For whatever reason, I have never read a book of short stories before. That changed this week when I picked up Ted Chiang’s “Stories of Your Life and Others.” The only thing I knew going in was that one of the stories was the basis for the 2016 mystery and science fiction film “Arrival,” starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. The first story, “Tower of Babylon,” revisits the story portrayed in the Bible. The main character, Hillalum, is a miner who is sent to the Tower of Babylon, which has been under construction for

several hundred years. He and his companions are trying to reach the Vault of Heaven to be one with Yahweh. However, the farther up Hillalum goes, the more he doubts they will ever reach the vault. What he finds at the end of his journey is not what he expected. As the first story, this one was a little difficult to jump into. However, it was interesting to read a story that has been told countless times in an original way. The second story, “Understand,” proved a slightly easier read. In this story, a man

who has suffered a terrible accident is given an experimental drug that ultimately enhances his intellectual abilities. Convinced the CIA is after him, he starts living on the run. His intelligence allows him to hack into computer systems and trick his pursuers. He is able to make money to support his life on the run by simply observing the body language of investment bankers on Wall Street and investing in stocks. The story reaches its climax as the man discovers there is another test subject

who has the same level of intelligence as him. The story is fast-paced and is an easy read despite the protagonist’s use of scientific terms and intellectual language. I won’t outline the plots of every story in the book, but these two provide some insight for prospective readers. Fans of science fiction will take each story in stride, but even those who don’t exactly love the genre will likely find them fascinating. Each story is completely different, but they all deal with the larger theme of knowledge. Although reading

a book of short stories sometimes feels disjointed, Chiang makes readers wonder what he has next for them. I had no problem finishing one story and going straight on to the next. With short stories it can be even more difficult to find the correct pacing. Obviously, the pacing should be quicker than a full-length novel, but part of what makes Chaing’s stories so compelling is that they keep readers wondering what will happen next because of their quick pacing throughout the entire story. I would recommend this

book to anyone with a curious mind. Chiang explores not only the theme of knowledge, but also perspective and what happens when humans come to know too much. Although engaging, I wouldn’t really recommend this book for a spring break read. Hopefully with the week off, I’ll be able to finish another book and have another review out the Wednesday after next. kchrisco@ius.edu
