Woman reports rape in hotel From IDS reports
A 21-year-old woman reported Sunday she’d been raped in a hotel room by a man she had met in a bar. The woman told police she’d gone to Brothers Bar and Grill with friends around midnight Sunday, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said. There, she met a 23-year-old man from out of town and began drinking with him. At about 3 a.m., the man invited her back to his hotel room to play video games, she said. On the way, she made it clear to him she would not have sex with him. They returned to the hotel, and at some point, she passed out, she told police. At about 10 a.m., she woke up on the bed to find the man had his hands inside her underwear. When she confronted him, he told her she hadn’t had a problem with it before, she said. She left the hotel and went to a friend’s house. After speaking with her friends, she went to Bloomington Hospital, where she spoke to police. Police spoke to the suspect via telephone, Kellams said. He agreed to meet detectives for an interview Monday at some location between Bloomington and where he lives. Jack Evans
Heritage month to focus on belonging By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu | @hannahboufford
The IU Asian Culture Center will be celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month throughout April. The ACC will sponsor events all centered around the theme of “belonging.” “Belonging is when your presence is valued and your voice is heard,” ACC Director Melanie Castillo-Cullather said. To kick off the month, the center will be co-sponsoring a reception with the Mathers Museums of World Cultures at 5 p.m. Tuesday at the museum. The reception will showcase student, staff and faculty work, including paintings, books, poems and more. Sarah Stamey, the program associate at the ACC, said this event will set the tone for the rest of the month. Popo Fan, a film director and an LGBT advocate, will be a special guest at the reception Tuesday. Fan’s talk about his work will start to explore the theme of the month, belonging. The theme is intended for students and staff to consider what belonging means to them and how it affects their communities, according to a handout provided by the ACC. “We wanted something that was thought-provoking and inclusive,” Stamey said. “Especially with all of the political unrest in the past year, we wanted something that could be unifying for everyone to think about.” However, not every event will be directly focused on this idea of belonging. Stamey said the center just wants people to have the overarching idea in their minds throughout the month. For example, the Community and Leadership Development Center will be having a workshop April 7 centered around a strong community. Though nationally celebrated in May, AAPIHM takes place a month SEE HERITAGE, PAGE 6

ARCH MADNESS New IU Coach Archie Miller embraces high expectations By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu | @thehussnetwork
The vision of new IU Coach Archie Miller aligned perfectly with what IU Athletics Director Fred Glass said he wanted in the head of his men’s basketball program. In Miller’s introductory press conference Monday, the former Dayton coach embraced the lofty expectations that come with the IU job. “I don’t think you come to Indiana if you don’t want to live in the neighborhood,” Miller said. “If you don’t want to move into that neighborhood, then you shouldn’t be here.” When Glass began the search for a new coach at a press conference to announce former coach Tom Crean’s firing, he talked about how he saw IU as a program capable of winning championships. Glass said Monday he found
what he wanted in Miller, a coach who sees those goals as very achievable. “The vision that we laid out when we started our search 10 days ago or whatever is the opportunity that Archie sees,” Glass said. “He embraces the expectations.” Miller laid out his vision of the program in detail Monday. At the foundation of the program is the history of IU — the 22 Big Ten Championships, and of course, the five National Championship banners that hung behind him during the press conference. “Every player, every former coach, every former manager that laid the groundwork for this place to be what it is today, we owe them a lot, and our effort level and our give-back has to be really unmatched,” Miller said. “They SEE EXPECTATIONS, PAGE 6
Miller earned his way to IU by relying on a family of coaches By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali
Archie Miller walked out of the southeast tunnel of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall alongside IU Athletic Director Fred Glass, his wife Morgan and 11-year-old daughter Leah. Miller, 38, was moments away from officially being introduced as the 29th head coach in IU men’s basketball history Monday afternoon, Morgan and Leah sat in the front row on Branch McCracken Court. When Miller took the podium and spoke about IU and the path he’s taken to get to this point in his career, it was evident he cares deeply about two things — his family and basketball. “It’s not easy to be a coach’s wife in particular, one that moves around quite a bit,” Miller said. “But this is one opportunity we’re all really,
More on Miller, page 7 Columnist Greg Gottfried writes about Archie Miller’s successful press conference really excited about — joining the community and doing what we can to help any and everyone.” Miller’s father, John, is a hall of fame high school coach in Pennsylvania with 657 career wins. Archie called him the best coach he’s ever been around and said his father taught him more about coaching than he ever realized before he wanted to become a coach. His brother, Sean, is the head coach at Arizona, and Miller said he was the most instrumental person in his life when it comes to basketball. The new IU coach even touched on the importance of his immediate family and how SEE EARNED, PAGE 6
Area 7 residents petition to halt annexation By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyerns
Dave and Cheryl Lehman do not consider themselves very politically active beyond watching C-SPAN and putting on a rally at their home for former Democratic governor of Vermont Howard Dean. However, the moment they knew the city of Bloomington was planning to annex their property and those in the surrounding area, they started gathering petition signatures from neighbors. “No one up here is really interested in it,” Dave said. Mayor John Hamilton proposed the addition of seven areas in and around the city of Bloomington last month, which would add 10,000 acres and 15,000 people. These seven areas, which are currently unincorporated, would be official parts of the city. City services do not currently extend to these areas, though Bloomington is the closest municipality to the people in the proposed annexation areas. If approved, it would take effect January 1, 2020. Area seven has the smallest population of the proposed properties. The area would bring 140 new residents, 866.8 acres and three miles of county roads to the city. It also includes nearly 3 miles of the I-69 expansion. The area is located around the northern most point of the current Bloomington city limits, running between S.R. 37 and North State Road. It extends as far south as West Arlington Road. The formal process for

Other stories can be found online. residents of annexation areas to be removed from consideration is called remonstrance. A petition signed by 65 percent of an area’s property owners and filed stops the annexation process. Residents have 90 days after approval of annexation to file a petition to remonstrate. The Lehmans said their petition has 47 signatures, which is approximately 75 percent of the area seven property owners. Bloomington tax rates will reach $2.03 for every $100 in propery value after the annexation. Like most who have criticized the idea of annexation, Dave said this is too high of an increase in taxes. Monroe County provides trash, road, fire and law enforcement services. Those who oppose annexation, like the Lehmans, do not think paying the higher taxes for services they already have is worth it. Other complaints address regulations on making fires in their yards, shooting guns and owning farm animals, all of which are restricted inside Bloomington city limits. “We don’t need any new rules,” Dave said. “We already have enough of our own.” If you are not sure whether or not you live in the proposed annexation areas, look at our map at idsnews.com or go to bloomington. in.gov/annex to search by name, address or parcel number.
