Students and advisers came to the Statehouse from all around Indiana on Tuesday to support House Bill 1130, which protects student press freedoms. Many wore blue shirts that said “#BeHeard” on them.

Committee hears testimony on student press freedom protection bill

By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu | @achryssovergis

Students from all around Indiana gathered at the Statehouse early morning Valentine’s Day to celebrate a mutual love — journalism.

The students came in blue shirts with star-and-stripe speech bubbles and #BeHeard splayed on the front. They hailed from places such as Evansville, Indiana, and Carmel, Indiana, and they brought pins and colorful candy hearts with tiny words engraved into them: “I heart HB 1130.” They got there before 8:30 a.m. and they waited patiently for hours to testify in support of their press freedoms.

“I believe we cannot fear the youth,” said Paris Garnier, a student journalist at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, during testimony.

“We are the future, and this bill will protect our future.”

House Bill 1130 has bipartisan support from its author and co-author, Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany, and Rep. Ed DeLaney, D-Indianapolis. It’s part of a movement sweeping the nation that would provide protection for student journalists primarily at the high school and college levels, though Indiana’s bill includes kindergarten and grade school, too.

According to the bill, educational institutions would not be able to suppress school-sponsored media unless it’s libelous or slanderous.

The bill also has strong support from both the Indiana High School and Indiana Collegiate Press Associations. Similar bills, promoted by New Voices USA, have passed or are currently being considered in states across the country.

Lydia Gerike, an IU freshman studying journalism and a reporter for the Indiana Daily Student, was the first to testify in support of HB 1130.

Gerike said she chose IU in part because the student newspaper is independent from the University. Because she had a comprehensive journalism education in high school, she was able to jump into covering complex issues as an elections reporter for the IDS during her first semester as a freshman.

“As often as we disagree, journalists and politicians are the same at our cores,” Gerike said. “We are civil servants.”

Others who testified provided examples of some of the nuanced and controversial issues they’ve had the opportunity to cover and write about through high school and college journalism programs.

Garnier said during her time as a student journalist at Warren Central High School in Indianapolis, she had the freedom to write editorials about contentious topics such as vaccines, violence in poverty and the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Students have to be given the chance to practice and perfect the skills needed to be good at their job, Garnier said. Learning to be a good journalist is a very vocational practice, she said.

“The best way to learn if journalism is right for us is to be in an environment that mimics the real world as closely as possible,” Garnier said.

Selena Qian, editor-in-chief of the quarterly publication Acumen at Carmel High School, also testified to her fortune at coming from a high school with a good administrationjournalism program relationship.

As it stands, with no law like the New Voices legislation in place in Indiana, it’s up to the discretion of a school administration to decide whether to enact prior review or prior restraint, which is when an administrator looks over a piece before it is published and decides whether or not it can see the light of day.

Originally from England, Tonia Matthew reads her poem "Love Letter to my Cat" Tuesday evening at the Venue Fine Arts and Gifts. The Venue was host to a "Words of Love" poetry-writing event for Valentine's Day.

Bob Selvaggi, a Bloomington resident, found inspiration for poetry when he moved to Bloomington from an old farm. He said he had always wanted to write but didn’t have the inspiration to write much at the farm.

“There is something going on here, this creative vortex I’ll call it,” Selvaggi said. “It was fate that got me here. Otherwise I would not have written probably, or at least not like I’m doing now.”

Selvaggi read three of his poems, including one for his love of a brewery.

Dave Colman, a lawyer and Gabe Colman’s father, read an anthology. He began by speaking of high school love with the repeating phrase “sways with a wiggle when she walks.”

Dave continued with a poem about his college years. He said it had dazzled women in college.

“This captures what I was about and what most of us were about in the ‘60s,” Dave said.

Dave looked at his valentine, Michelle Martin-Colman, while reading a poem that he said represented his love now and in the

Poets share Valentine’s Day ‘Words of Love’ Greeted with a table of wine, cookies and a cake, guests filed into the Venue Fine Arts & Gifts.

Gabe Colman, curator of the Venue, and his parents welcomed everyone by talking about family traditions of how Valentine’s Day was special to them, continued through the crafting of hand-made Valentines at the gallery.

“Valentines would come around, and that was the go-overthe-top thing with boxes and 3-D things and doilies and lace and amazing things,” said Michelle Martin-Colman, mother of Gabe Colman and co-proprietor of the Venue.

The Venue Fine Arts & Gifts welcomed locals, newcomers, couples and friends Tuesday evening to share their poetry and love letters in honor of Valentine’s Day at an event called “Words of Love.”

The atmosphere was comfortable for the audience members, who all seemed to know one another. While some of the poets read pieces they wrote, others sang songs. With everyone at ease by the end of the event, the attendees began casually talking to one another about how their days had been. One man had said he had a colonoscopy that day while another said it was a day of mourning.

Tonia Matthew, a regular at Venue Fine Arts & Gifts, began by reading a prose poem about cats.

“I’ve never been terribly good at romance, so I have decided to read some poems about love but not strictly about love,” Matthew said.

Championship seasons can erase a lot of things, both good and bad, but the IU women’s swim and dive team’s goal is to finish on a high note, IU Coach Ray Looze said.

This week the No. 15-ranked Hoosiers will take their show on the road to West Lafayette, Indiana, for the 2017 Big Ten Championships. The meet, featuring five nationally ranked teams, will begin Wednesday and conclude Sunday.

Looze said the team expects a battle.

“You know Michigan’s clear and away the favorite,” Looze said. “Nobody’s going to touch them, and then it’s really going to be a battle for the two, three, four, five spots. So you’re really going to have to swim and dive well.”

For the Hoosiers, this week will be an important point in an up-anddown year. Not only does this week mark the beginning of championship season, but IU is coming off a three-game stretch that saw a win against Purdue sandwiched between humbling losses to Michigan and Louisville to end the season.

“Our mindset going into Big Tens is the same every year, and it’s just to have the most fun possible,” senior swimmer Gia Dalesandro said. “We do a really great job of just keeping things light.”

This time of year also marks the tapering phase of the Hoosiers’ schedule. In practice, swimmers have dialed down how far they swim so they are fully rested and prepared for championship season.

The team is ready for a “real meet,” sophomore Lilly King said.

“For us, dual meets are kind of hard ‘cause we typically train through our dual meets,” King said. “We don’t really taper in season very much, so

future. After Dave spoke, Michelle Martin-Colman went next. She first began describing her love for old poetry and compared it to her feelings toward current poems. She said they are too hard to understand now.

In between reading poems, Martin-Colman handed Dave a lace-filled, crafty and detailed valentine. For the past 34 years the two have kept up a tradition.

“We make Valentines for each other each year for each other,” Martin-Colman said. “Thirty-four years. ”

IU alumni will discuss their educational and professional careers Wednesday evening at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center in a Black Excellence Alumni Panel.

The event is part of a series of Black History Month events by the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs.

It will take place at 5:30 p.m. in the Neal-Marshall Bridgwaters Lounge.

Three alumni will be at the event: Crystal Taliefero, professional musician and director of IU Soul Revue; Muhammad Saahir, a counselor at IU Health Center’s Counseling and Psychological Services; and William Shrewsberry, president and CEO of Shrewsberry & Associates, an Indianapolis engineering firm. Redgina Hill, director of diversity and inclusion at Bethel College, will send a video to be shown because there were unexpected familial complications that will prevent her from attending.

The alumni will discuss their experiences and triumphs they overcame throughout their careers, said Aggrey Sam, the media contact for the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs.

“Obviously, they’ll also be talking about their time at IU,” Sam said.

This is the first Black History Month at the Neal-Marshall Center under the direction of Monica Johnson, who accepted the director position last March, who said this will be the first Black Excellence Alumni Panel to be held at the center.

Johnson said having four people with very different careers provides a variety of experiences for people to learn from.

“The intention behind it is that we wanted to bring real people to talk about real experiences,” Johnson said.

She said the alumni will discuss their years at IU and the first years after they graduated. The panelists will describe what influenced them and caused them to choose their SEE ALUMNI, PAGE 10

IU professor researches the effects of music

By Rachel Leffers rleffers@indiana.edu | @rachelleffers

Music can have an unexplainable effect on the emotions and actions of individuals, but Rob Potter, associate professor and director of the Institute for Communication Research at the Media School, said he wants to better understand these effects.

The ICR is conducting a research project to determine the psychophysiological effects of music on people. It is intended to determine whether or not there is a difference in an individual’s mental and physical responses to music that is meaningful to them and music that is not.

“Blink for me, Josh,” Potter said. “Frown for me.”

Potter asks the subject to carry out these movements to ensure the kinks in the experiment are worked out.

Josh Sites, a graduate student working toward his Ph.D, is a test participant in the experiment.

Although he works in the ICR and has some inclination of what the experiment is about, Sites doesn’t know the overall hypothesis, which he said is ideal.

Potter originally became interested in researching the mental and physical effects music has on people when his friend conducted similar research with the psychological and brain sciences department. Potter said he wanted his research to be different.

“Music affects people’s decision making at times,” Potter said, “I wanted to research whether or not there’s something special with music

emotionally.”

Potter began his research when he applied to participate in the center of excellence for women in technology’s research program, which gives him the opportunity to mentor women studying technology.

Each year CEWiT offers Research Experience for Undergraduate Women, or REUW, which consists of various projects that allow undergraduate women to work with a faculty mentor and gain hands-on experience in computing and technology.

Through this program, Potter selected sophomore Claire Dudek to work with him on his research. Potter said he selected Dudek because her passion for music stood out from the other participants who primarily said they thought the experiment sounded interesting.

“Music is always something that’s been important to me,” sophomore Claire Dudek said. “Not so much playing music, but more so listening to it and aligning it with particular moods and situations.”

Although Dudek is not studying a technological field like many students involved in the CEWiT REU-W program, she said she thought it would be interesting because she is a neuroscience major.

“This study was particularly interesting because of the psychophysiological aspect,” Dudek said. “It gave me an opportunity to use equipment that would typically be used in a psychology or neuroscience lab but in a music-based setting.”

After participants for the

study have been recruited, the researchers will ask participants to provide them with fourteen songs that are meaningful to them. From the provided fourteen songs, Dudek and Potter will randomly choose ten songs which they will play for them, along with 10 more songs the subjects did not choose.

When participants come into the lab, they will be hooked up to electro nodes, which they refer to as sensors so as to not scare the subjects. These will measure

Two electrodes are placed on the palm of the subjects non-dominant hand, one is placed on both of the subject’s forearms just below the crease in their arm, and one is placed slightly above the subject’s non-dominant wrist.

“It’s for measuring the amount of sweat on the wrist,” Potter said. “It’s an indication of his sympathetic nervous system, or how excited he is.”

News gathering for IU students today is almost an entirely digital process, and while almost all of students’ news comes from mobile apps and websites, students seem to be wary of information shared on social media.

According to the Pew Research Center, 81 percent of Americans get their news through websites, apps or social media, and this news gathering is becoming more mobilized. Of those who get their news from both a desktop computer and a cell phone, more than half prefer mobile devices. At IU, there are some students who use apps and do not put as much faith in social media.

IU freshman Tom Sweeney said while he gets most of his news from news apps, he does not believe most stories he comes across on social networking sites.

He said he very rarely shares stories on Facebook or Twitter.

“I don’t so much believe in picking and choosing the news that I like and distributing it that way,” Sweeney said.

“I think that people should go to the original news sources more.”

News stories are becoming more abundant on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. According to another study done by the Pew Research Center, 62 percent of United States adults get their news on social media, and 18 percent do so frequently. For some IU students, this is less true.

Sophomore Lucy Battersby, a political science and creative writing major, said when she seeks out news, she doesn’t ever rely on social media apps.

“I get most of my instant news updates from the POLITICO app, which sends me push notifications several times a day,” Battersby said.

“POLITICO is my primary source for instant news, but I stumble across a lot of news accidentally when I’m browsing Facebook or Twitter.”

For Battersby, her lack of reliance on Facebook or Twitter posts is due to awareness. She said she knows how easy it is to fall into the trap of false information because of a shiny headline.

Battersby said he knows his perceptions of issues can be shaped by a shared article that has a clickbait title, so he tries to stay up-to-date to avoid the worst of it. He prefers to go to sources before hearing other peoples’ opinions on an issue, he said.

Sweeney, a mathematics major, shares Battersby’s sentiments. Sweeney was a debater in high school, and as such he had to develop good news-gathering and factchecking habits in order to make sure the information he was presenting was correct.

Because of this, he is wary of Facebook articles or retweets on Twitter that don’t come directly from verified organizations.

“My favorite ways to get the news are from news apps rather than just from Twitter or just from Facebook or anything like that,” Sweeney said.

“I prefer to get my news from like AP mobile app, or from a CNN app. Recently I’ve been reading a lot of news from the Apple News app.”

Sweeney is also aware his favorite sites can also be biased and not give him an unprejudiced outlook. He makes it his prerogative to make sure he is getting all sides of the story in order to form his own opinion, even if as a liberal he doesn’t agree with that particular site’s viewpoint.

Sweeny said he still makes a point of reading Fox News. He said he thinks it’s essential.

Some students do rely on social media sites to get most of their news, however. Freshman Grace Ringer, a social work major, said she often gets most of her news from either her father or social media. Her reason for doing so is social media is easily accessible throughout her day and they serve many purposes besides just news gathering, which makes them convenient, Ringer said.

Ringer said she does make sure to be critical when reading articles on social media.

For the most part, she relies on her family and friends to be her fact-checkers. She typically relies on news organizations such as the New York Times, NBC, CNN and Fox News because she said she views them as most reliable.

“I try to fact check news I find if it looks unreliable or seems to be biased, but I

don’t usually share a ton of news-related things because I don’t want to have to deal with people arguing in my comments,” Ringer said.

Battersby said being in political science classes has made her a better all-around critical thinker.

“Being a student at IU, particularly a political science student, has definitely made me much more conscious of how I consume news,” Battersby said. “I’m much more cautious of just reading the headline and taking it at face value than I was a few years ago.”

As for fake news, many students take claims of it with a grain of salt. Sweeney said he thinks reports of fake news have been blown out of proportion, especially with this past year’s election.

Sweeney said there are a lot more people who want to do a good job than those who are seeking to sabotage the system. He said there’s probably only a handful who are sitting on their couches writing fake news algorithms to mess with everyone. Most people are good journalists, he said.

Ringer, however, said she thinks the epidemic is damaging to the credibility of the free press. She said those who write or share fake news just want to stir things up, and credible news sources do not condone or partake in these activities.

“I think the fake news epidemic is getting out of control because it’s starting to make people trust news sources less,” Ringer said. “If we can’t trust news sources, then we won’t have anyone.”

electricity from the subject’s neurons to the electro nodes, and the participants are ready to listen to the fifteen-second clips of ten of their favorite songs mixed with fifteen seconds of ten randomly selected songs.

Potter said he is withholding the hypothesis of his research to maintain the integrity of the experiment. He will begin recruiting subjects for the experiment within the next couple of weeks as soon as the kinks are worked out and the data is recordable.

More electro nodes are then placed around the subject’s eyes. These measure the corrugator muscle and the orbicularis oculi muscle.

Because these muscles don’t provide the researchers with as strong of a signal as the heart does, they use alcohol swabs with a small amount of pumice to exfoliate the area and remove things, such as dead skin cells, that could interfere with the connection.

IU has a variety of different initiatives to keep students safe. The IU Police Department oversees campus security and monitors dangerous situations.

Capt. Andy Stephenson answers some common questions.

Indiana Daily Student: How does IUPD handle and interact with the Indiana Lifeline Law? Can students still get in trouble, even if under the immunity of the law?

Capt. Andy Stephenson: “Well, first of all, the law does not impact our procedures and how we police. If someone calls us for help, we’re not arresting that person.

We want people to call us for help. We have never arrested people who have called for an ambulance. We don’t want to discourage people from calling for help. The lifeline law protects the person who is reporting.”

IDS: What happens if an ambulance comes? What can students be charged for financially?

Stephenson: “Let’s say we get a call that someone is vomiting — an RA calls. We get an ambulance call on the campus. If the ambulance shows up, and you’re not transferred to the hospital, just checked out, they aren’t charged for that.”

IDS: How does the University respond to un-

derage drinking? What punishments does the university offer that BPD wouldn’t?

Stephenson: “All police officers have discretion of who we can arrest and what we can arrest for. IUPD can respond to a call and make an arrest and enter them into the criminal justice system, so anytime we’re involved in it, there’s likely to be University sanctions as well. The University police have the option that municipal police don’t have. We can choose not to make an arrest, like if it’s a low-level first-time offense, we can open an internal investigation with student ethics. So, although we’re not arresting, our police report is shared with the University and could generate some disciplinary action on the part of the University.”

IDS: Dorm cops — myth or fact?

Stephenson: “They’re living in most dormitories and we’ve had them live in for maybe the last 10-12 years.

Their role, they’re there to provide support for students, to work along with the resident’s hall staff. It’s good for police and community relations. The police living in the dormitories are students, just the same as the students who live there. They can provide support, answer any questions students may have and build those relationships so students know they can trust the police, we’re here to help them. It’s a really great

program. Most dormitories have them. I know Collins doesn’t.”

IDS: Is no alcohol in the dorms a universal policy?

How is alcohol punishment handled across all the different dorms, considering any special cases?

Stephenson: “Well obviously, we’re all responsible for our actions after consuming alcohol. But if we encounter someone and they are 21 years of age and they’re living on a floor that permits a small amount of alcohol in the room, then there’s no crime there. But we all know alcohol consumption can lead to bad decisions, even if they consume and possess it legally.”

School chief position bills approved

By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu @achryssovergis

Bills that would make the school chief an appointed position rather than elected one are making progress in both the House and Senate.

The House education committee heard testimony regarding House Bill 1005 and proceeded to approve the bill 10-3 on Tuesday morning. According to the Indiana General Assembly website, the Senate elections committee approved Senate Bill 179 on Feb. 6.

HB 1005 would abolish the elected position of Indiana superintendent of public instruction in the state and replace it with a position of state secretary of education, which the governor would appoint.

This measure would go in effect in 2021 according to HB 1005 and thus allow Superintendent Jennifer McCormick, who was elected to the position, to finish her first term in office.

Among those who spoke against the bill were representatives from the Indiana State Teachers Association and the Indiana Coalition for Public Education.

Supporters of the bill who spoke included individuals from the Institute for Quality Education and the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.

“I trust the voters to put experienced educators in this office,” said Vic Smith, a retired educator

House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, testifies for his bill, House Bill 1005, which would make the Indiana school chief position appointed rather than elected. The House education committee passed the bill Tuesday.

and frequent blogger for ICPE, during testimony. “I do not trust making this an executive appointment.”

During his introduction of HB 1005 on Tuesday, bill author and House Speaker Rep. Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, pulled a small Valentine’s Day card out of his shirt pocket for the crowd to see. He said it was from McCormick. He had told her that morning he loved and respected her. This bill isn’t about her or anyone who preceded her, Bosma said. It’s not a partisan bill, either.

“This is good public policy, and now is an opportunity to do so,” said Bosma.

Bosma said Indiana is one of 13 states that continues to elect its school chief.

Smith also took issue with the fact that bill does not list any qualification requirements for the appointed secretary of education.

No teaching experience or teaching license would be required to be chosen for the job, Smith said.

The House bill also says the secretary need only be an Indiana resident for

two years, Smith said. The leader of schools in the state should have extensive personal knowledge of the state’s history with education, he said.

“The state leader of schools in Indiana should be a skilled and respected educator with experience in Indiana’s schools,” Smith said.

Bosma took issue with this. As it stands currently, the state superintendent is not currently required to have a teacher’s license, he said.

The issue of education

policy has been a tumultuous one in Indiana in recent years. Past Superintendent Glenda Ritz, a Democrat, and former Gov. Mike Pence, a Republican, were constantly at odds, which some testified Tuesday slowed down the process of policy change for Indiana schools.

Bosma also said the superintendent’s responsibility is not to create policy; rather, that is the legislature’s job.

Both bills now will face deliberation by the full House and Senate.

White House seeks new security adviser mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman

Vice President Mike Pence got into the Valentine’s Day spirit, the White House commented on Gen. Michael Flynn’s resignation yesterday and Trump is already looking for a replacement for Flynn. Here’s a rundown of what happened and why it matters.

Mike Pence buys wife a Valentine’s Day present Pence was spotted doing some Valentine’s Day shopping Tuesday morning at a Whole Foods in Washington, D.C. People on Twitter shared photos of Pence carrying a bouquet of red roses and a vase of pink and white flowers.

“While grocery shopping for our family, hubby sees @VP shopping for his Valentine @WholeFoods. Hope my husband follows the Veep’s lead,” jorunalist Greta Brawner tweeted.

Pence responded to Brawner’s tweet, “Don’t ruin the surprise. Ready to share our 34th Valentine’s Day with my valentine, Karen.”

Mike Pence and his wife, Karen Pence, have been married since 1985.

White House weighs in on Flynn resignation White House press secretary addressed the Flynn resignation at a White House press briefing Tuesday.

Flynn resigned late Monday evening after Trump asked for his resignation after Trump expressed he had lost trust in the adviser because he misled Pence about calls with the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, according to CNN. CNN reported the Department of Justice was also concerned about the calls.

“Immediately after the Department of Justice notified the White House counsel of the situation, the White House counsel briefed the President and a small group of senior advisers,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said.

Spicer said Flynn had done nothing illegal, however, he had lost the president’s trust in an intensifying drama that has focused scrutiny on Trump’s handling of the issue and his ties with Moscow.

“The level of trust between the President and Gen. Flynn had eroded to the point where he felt he had to make a change,” Spicer told reporters. “The President was very concerned that Gen. Flynn had misled the vice president and others.”

White House seeks Flynn replacement After Flynn’s resignation Monday night, Trump selected Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg to serve as acting national security adviser. However, CNN reported that Kellogg is one of three candidates in

the running to fill the position permanently.

The other candidates are Gen. David Petraeus and former Vice Admiral Bob Harward. Harward is considered the top contender, according to a CNN source.

Harward grew up in Iran, where his father was a naval officer and graduated from the Tehran American School.

Harward also joined the Navy. He served on both East and West coal SEAL teams and took a tour in the White House under Obama. There, he worked with the National Security Council and served as deputy commander of United States Central Command during the Obama

Animal shelter releases 2016 statistics From IDS Reports

Statistics for 2016 from the City of Bloomington Animal Care and Control revealed the shelter is succeeding in its goals of decreasing euthanasia and intake rates and increasing adoptions and volunteer hours.

Most of the animals admitted into the Bloomington animal shelter are healthy, goodnatured dogs, cats and rabbits,according to a City of Bloomington press release.

shelter considers euthanasia as an alternative.

In these cases, the release states that euthanasia is the most humane alternative to a life of suffering or being confined to a cage.

According to the release, the shelter had a 10-percent euthanasia rate in 2016 — down from 16 percent the year before.

In 2016, the shelter also sent 700 animals to foster homes, placed more than 2,300 animals in adoptive homes and had more than 10,000 hours of volunteer work.

The shelter said in the release that it encourages Bloomington and Monroe County residents to

spay and neuter their pets, adopt shelter animals, foster pets, become volunteers, or donate money or resources.

Education, animal rehabilitation and community engagement are also ways the shelter seeks to help animals.

“It is not words or phrases that help animals but actual efforts, programs and initiatives,” the animal shelter said on its Facebook page.

It added, “Simply turning a back on these animals and merely pronouncing that euthanasia should not exist won’t make euthanasia go away.”

administration. Since retiring from the military, he has worked as an executive in Lockheed Martin UAE. Interim national security adviser Kellogg is a former lieutenant general in the Army who retired and went on to serve in the Trump administration. He worked directly under Flynn as the council’s chief of staff for less than a month before the controversy over Flynn’s contact with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

The final candidate, Petraeus, is another former military man who served under the Obama administration. He was one of the key figures to organize the United State’s counterinsur-

gency approach to conflict in the Middle East. He became popular for spearheading the military surge in Iraq to curb heightened violence in the late 2000s, according to CNN. Petraeus also worked in the CIA but resigned from his position after an extramarital affair with a biographer came to light. A justice department investigation accused Petraeus of sharing classified information with the woman he was having an affair with.

He pleaded guilty and agreed to serve two years probation and pay a $100,000 fine.

If chosen to be national security adviser, Petraeus would still be under probation until April.

Man uses counterfeit bills at pizza places From IDS Reports

Two pizza restaurants on Bloomington’s west side reported to police Monday a customer had paid them with several counterfeit $100 bills.

The first report, at about 9:20 p.m., came from Bucceto’s Smiling Teeth at 350 S. Liberty Dr. The suspect is described as a black man, about 5’9” tall, in his mid20s, with teardrop face tattoos, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said.

The complainant told police the man purchased about $5 worth of food and paid with a $100, which the

restaurant made change for. He then presented three more $100 bills, said he’d just been paid and asked if they could make change, which they did. Later, someone at the restaurant realized the bills were counterfeit.

The same situation happened nearby at Mother Bear’s Pizza at 2980 W. Whitehall Crossing Blvd., which reported the counterfeit about 35 minutes later, Kellams said.

Police are in the process of obtaining video surveillance from the restaurants.

An investigation is ongoing.

The Indiana Court of Appeals overturned a Muncie, Indiana, man’s conviction for bestiality last week on the basis of insufficient evidence.

Andy Allen Shinnock, 36, was found guilty — but mentally ill — on one bestiality charge in April 2016. He had previous convictions for child molestation in 2002 and 2012.

On the morning of August 19, 2015, Shinnock’s friend, Paul Moore, came home from work to the house he shared with Shinnock in Muncie, according to court documents.

Chinook called his dogs — a male Labrador retriever and great Dane mix named Cosmo and a female pit bull named Baby Girl — so he could take them outside to go to the bathroom.

Normally, the dogs would sit and wait to greet Moore when he came home in the mornings. This morning, they didn’t.

Only Cosmo came running when Moore called, which was unusual. After searching the house for Baby Girl, Moore went to Shinnock’s room. When he opened the door, Baby Girl came out and hid beneath the couch.

When Shinnock emerged from his room, he was wearing only a T-shirt and boxers. Shinnock’s “erect penis caught Moore’s attention”, court documents state. The floor of the house was covered in dog feces. Moore had never had problems with the dogs defecating inside before.

After taking the dogs outside to go to the bathroom, Moore confronted Shinnock and asked him why Baby Girl had been shut inside his room. When Moore pressed further, Shinnock admitted he had intercourse with Baby Girl. Moore recorded their conversation on his cell phone and called police shortly thereafter.

Once the police arrived and questioned Shinnock, he admitted to having sex with Baby Girl and continued to talk about it even after the detective read him the Miranda rights, according to court documents. The detective recorded Shinnock’s confession on a body camera. Cosmo and Baby Girl were taken to an animal shelter.

During his bench trial the following April, Shinnock’s parole agent testified and said Shinnock “had an intelligence level of about a 6-yearold.” She also said Shinnock was “low-functioning,” has “anger issues” and is “very sexually preoccupied.”

Although he was given an 18-month prison sentence, Shinnock had already completed the sentence in the time he’d spent in prison since his arrest.

In a unanimous decision, however, the Indiana Court of Appeals overturned Shinnock’s bestiality conviction, reversing the conviction and remanding the case to trial court.

In the court opinion, Senior Judge John Sharpnack cited a lack of physical evidence as part of the reversal. In particular, Sharpnack stressed there was “neither evidence of physical injury to the dog’s sex organ nor any evidence of the condition of the dog’s sex organ.”

In essence, Sharpnack wrote there was no evidence outside of Shinnock’s own confession, and his confession alone did not constitute enough evidence to justify a conviction.

Eric Hoffman, Chief Deputy Prosecutor of the Delaware County Prosecutor’s Office, said the State is considering its options to move forward, which include transferring the case to the Indiana Supreme Court. He gave little insight to the State’s attitude about the conviction being overturned.

“I can say I disagree with it,” Hoffman said. “That’s about all I can say.”

EDITORIAL BOARD

Soil situation stays unsolved East Chicago, Indiana, faces a worsening lead-poisoning crisis Flint, Michigan. Chances are you’ve heard of it. You vaguely remember your outraged second cousin posting to Facebook about government negligence, and the news coverage surrounding the calamity clogged your feed.

You felt a twinge of pity in your heart for those dealing with lead-ridden water sources and nowhere to go.

Unfortunately, East Chicago, Indiana, faces a similar situation.

In an effort to skirt around escalating city water prices, residents in Flint, Michigan, began drinking contaminated water from Flint River in April 2014.

The water was defined as “hazardous waste” by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Children suffering from rashes and mysterious illnesses began to pop up. Academic water testing began.

Lawsuits were filed.

Five hundred and thirtynine days later, the low-income city finally switched back to Detroit city water.

It wasn’t until January 2016 that Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder declared Genesee County, where Flint is located, a state of emergency.

That was Michigan. If something like this were to happen in Indiana, we like to think we would do better. We would recognize the human cost of such erroneous decisions and fix it in a timely manner.

In 2014, the EPA began testing for lead and arsenic levels in zone 1 of West Calumet Housing Complex, a low-income neighborhood in East Chicago, Indiana.

Knowingly, government officials ordered the community to be built on top of the land of what used to be the United States Smelter and

Lead Refinery. It is now a 79-acre Superfund Zone.

According to the Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry, uncontaminated soil contain less than 50 parts per million of lead.

In one front yard, after digging two feet beneath the ground, the EPA discovered 91,100 ppm of lead in the soil. That is 1,822 times the legal limit of lead.

More than 40 percent of residents in East Chicago are younger than 18 years old. These children unknowingly grew up in an extremely unsafe environment.

When looking at demographics from the U.S. Census Bureau, Flint and East Chicago, Indiana, are extremely similar.

In Flint, the per capita income for one year is $14,765. For East Chicago, Indiana, it’s $14,154.

Ninety-eight thousand

individuals reside in Flint, while only 28,000 live in East Chicago, Indiana. The West Calumet Housing Complex, highlighted for its extremely high levels of lead-infested soil, only contains 347 units of housing.

Nearly two months before Mike Pence took the oath to become vice president, East Chicago Mayor Anthony Copeland sent him a letter, a cry for help, asking for Pence to declare the USS Lead Superfund Zone a disaster emergency.

Governor Pence spoke at an Indiana State House cabinet meeting and pledged “to serve Hoosiers until the very last hour of this administration.”

Pence had 1,608 hours to fix the situation in East Chicago, Indiana, yet he did nothing.

Sure, 1,000 people is nothing compared to the 6.6 million residents of Indiana,

but those were the 1,000 people that needed him.

This soil has been contaminated for decades, and the city of East Chicago, Indiana, was well aware of the situation since testing began in 2014.

Last Thursday, Gov. Eric Holcomb granted the city disaster declaration. Sadly, this declaration is two years too late. It’s an afterthought.

We have witnessed our government outright ignore a group of misfortunate individuals simply because they could.

The Editorial Board fears situations like these will continue to go unnoticed up across the country.

We suppose solving disasters like these just depends on who is being affected and how many people have to die before somebody does anything about it.

We implore Indiana lawmakers to be proactive.

The flurry of the Grammys has just wrapped up, and it was great fun, but, like every year, the award show was jampacked with big-name artists and smash hits. Arguably, it should be, since the most popular songs deserve to win awards, but let’s not forget about the little guys.

The music industry has changed loads in the past thirty years. The normal music consumption platforms have gone from vinyl, to cassette, to CD, to purchasing MP3s and now to streaming. Through the evolution of music consumption, artists find it harder and harder to make money.

It went from aspiring to become a rock-star to aspiring to scrape by creating music.

Take Spotify for example.

Spotify pays artists a measly $.006 per stream by paid members and even less for those who use the service for free. This works out great for big time artists cranking out smash hits. Take Adele, for example. When this column was written her hit song “Hello” has been streamed 658,858,945 times on Spotify alone. Continuing with the .006 dollars per stream, this results in millions of dollars in revenue from one single song.

This is great for the biggest bands in the world, but there are countless artists who won’t come near that kind of money in their entire lives, eventually barring them from continuing to make good music.

That’s why it is important not to get caught up in this age of easy, cheap access to music and instead to support the smaller — and better yet — local musicians you enjoy.

Whether you enjoy bands like Adele or small bands like Turf War I’m confident all can agree that the more options in music the better. The only way to create this diversity in the music scene is to support small artists so they can continue to make music and in turn, inspire more people to do the same.

While you should use Spotify to listen to your favorite bands, think of other ways to give back to the artists — they often sell music independently that won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

The obvious ways to do this are to go to shows and buy music from the artists.

Bands not only get a cut of ticket sales, but just being there helps as well.

Having an audience at concerts creates exposure for bands and allows them to book bigger, better shows in the future. Additionally, streaming your favorite song will never compare to being there and seeing it live.

Besides these two forms of support, buying merchandise, and donating directly to bands also helps.

Many bands put music online for free, and then offer donations on sites such as bandcamp.com.

Next time you listen to a favorite album, decide to spend a few dollars to buy the entire album or grab a T-shirt.

More music means more options, and everyone benefits. For this to happen small bands need to make money to continue creating. sareynol@umail.iu.edu

COZY UP WITH KATIE

Students should spend spring break doing whatever makes them happy Around this time every year, I start to hear all of my friends talking about the warm, tropical vacations they are taking for spring break, and every year I tell all of my friends about my plans to work, sleep and watch Netflix for seven days in a row. The catch is neither one of those is better than the other.

For many students and faculty, spring break is a chance to take a vacation, go to the beach and have fun,

but others use this time to catch up on sleep and relax before the start of the second half of the semester. Normally, this is the route I choose to go but not this year.

It is my senior year, and I can say I have never been on a typical college-student spring break trip. By “typical” I just mean trips with friends to the beach or other popular destinations.

Instead of these trips, I normally hang out at home, sleep in and maybe put in a

few extra hours at work. This is something that I get lectured about every year by my friends who decide to travel for spring break.

My friends say I should be out traveling the world, visiting new places and having fun, but to me, staying at home for spring break and relaxing is fun. The best part is that I get to stay in Bloomington, which is all but a ghost town during break.

This means no lines at Target, fast grocery store trips,

30-minute food deliveries and a lot less traffic. It’s great.

However, in honor of my senior year, I decided to see what all the commotion was about and take a vacation to do some traveling for my last spring break.

Since I decided to take the vacation, the other half of my friends that normally stay in town for spring break have been lecturing me on my decision to go somewhere. They make some valid arguments, like the fact

that I am as broke as broke gets, but that’s beside the point.

The point is that they are choosing to spend spring break one way and my other friends are choosing another. For some reason, each side seems to think their way of spending break is better or their reasons more valid than the others. Quick announcement: There is no right or wrong way to spend a break if you’re spending it the way that you want to

spend it.

So whether you decide to pull out the old swimsuit and hit the beach or you want to start planning out your Grey’s Anatomy binge schedule, the most important thing to remember is to come back rested, relaxed and ready to kick butt in the second eight weeks. kkmeier@umail.iu.edu

JORDAN RIVER FORUM

BRIAN’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

Speak freely on campus In a time of campus protests, differing views, and polarized political rhetoric it might be a fine time to step back and look at the state of campus speech at IU. There have been breakdowns in freedom of speech at other colleges across the country.

Schools as diverse as Georgetown, DePaul, and UC Berkeley have uninvited speakers, attempted to shut down student speech or have had violent protests against students or guest speakers on campus.

IU has managed to avoid those worst case scenarios.

This success begins with IU’s Student Organization Code which maintains that “the University is committed to protecting free speech rights of students, faculty, and staff.”

The University lived up to this promise during the contentious 2016 election season. Republicans, Democrats, and other issue-focused student groups were permitted to organize, hold meetings, and publicly advertise or protest.

IU hosted, without restriction, political candidates from both parties and up and down the ticket.

These protections of political speech during the most viciously contested partisan elections in the modern political era were for the benefit of all students. IU students learned more, debated more and were better served by the broad diversity of opinion cycle.

Protecting speech, even speech we disagree with vehemently, is at

Brian Gamache is a senior in economics and history.

the heart of healthy civic debate.

As students at Indiana’s largest liberal arts university, we are not here just to get a degree and job after graduation.

We are here to learn how to examine opposite points of view, to debate with those we disagree with logically and even to change our minds every once in a while when we discover our positions are wrong.

The ability to speak freely and clearly precedes all the goals of this type of education. It is by speaking that we interact with our classmates and professors and it is by speech we arrive at a point where as graduates we can go out in the world not just with a degree but also as confident in our ability as citizens.

Upholding these values of freedom of expression has never been easy and the end of the election cycle has not made it easier. We are still a divided country.

During this unprecedented partisanship that separates us, these days the university should remain as an open forum for all ideas, for all students, all the time.

The norms and values students learn at IU will carry on to the rest of their civic and professional lives.

In our community and campus debate then, let’s build a conversation we can all be proud of. brgamache@gmail.com

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

KLEIN OF A BIG DEAL

Making racists read After admitting they had spray-painted swastikas and messages of “white power” and “brown power” on a school building, five Virginia teenagers have been sentenced to, among other instructional experiences, read and write reports about one book per month for a year.

The students — two are white, three are minorities, all are male — received their sentence the first week of February and will be reevaluated in January 2018.

This punishment is an effective way to make the teenagers understand what they’ve done.

The building they defaced is the Ashburn Colored School, which black students attended in observance of segregated public education until 1959.

The young men may choose their books from a list of thirty-five books that were selected for their potential to teach the students the impact of their actions by connecting them to a broader cultural context.

Though unusual, the sentence does align with the National Juvenile Defender Center’s definition of a kind of sentence called a disposition, which addresses, beyond simple punishment, the rehabilitation of juveniles and treatment of whatever issues led to their delinquency.

The idea for the sentence originally came from Deputy Commonwealth Attorney Alejandra Rueda, who said of her proposal that “the way these kids are going to learn about this stuff is if they read about it, more than anything.”

Rueda, who has 19 years of experience as an attorney, said she believed the usual sentence of probation and community service “wasn’t

really going to bring the message home.” In order to truly address the issues of ignorance and intolerance, the students needed direct exposure to the history of the discrimination they were perpetuating.

While racism is obviously one of the biggest problems in American society, it’s counterproductive to imagine a single, perfect approach that will eradicate racial inequality.

Nevertheless, the enormity and complexity of American racism demand we, the people, make an honest attempt to form a more perfect union. Enabling our children to build a better future by educating them about the past is an essential task.

Reading is a demonstrably effective tool for promoting the kind of compassion and acceptance required for peace in a society as diverse as ours.

We can’t have students who, at age 16, remain unaware of the symbolism of a swastika, as one of the Virginia teens claimed to be, and we also need more productive methods than incarceration for addressing the issue of crimes such as these that are symptomatic of educational failure.

A solution such as Rueda’s incorporates the kinds of intensive and instructive elements necessary to affect real change.

While we shouldn’t overlook the severity of destructive decisions, our focus must be on creating a better future. If we’re serious about changing the way people think about race in this country, literature can help. mareklei@umail.iu.edu

IU must do more to combat climate change The Tweeter in Chief wasted no time in demonstrating that his administration does not care for the science of climate change.

Going into just the fourth week of his presidency we’ve seen a gag order on employees from various federal agencies to blackout climate change communications; an executive order issued to revive the Keystone XL Pipeline and approve Dakota Access Pipeline; and a bill passed by the Republican-controlled Congress to repeal the Obama administration’s restrictions on coal mine waste-dumping.

Each of the above actions pose a direct and severe threat to the quality of life of anyone reading this article, and the worst is yet to come.

We are being forced to cope with the disastrous effects of climate change already secured by the emissions, pollution, and degradation

of decades prior, including that unleashed by the Trump administration.

We would like to ask McRobbie if he is willing to use his power and authority, when it comes to climate change, to be the “engaged citizen” committed to “public service” IU promises to develop us into. As students with tremendous concern for the sustainability of civil society, we are not convinced McRobbie would prove an equal commitment to matters caused by the effects of climate change, effects of which IU is a contributing party.

Before a sedative, administrative response the likes of “But look how much we’ve already done for sustainability!” is inevitably issued, the reader should know that President McRobbie has declined to sign the Climate Leadership Commitment which was contained in a resolution

passed by both the IUSA and the GPSG in 2009. The CLC is the nation’s leading directive by which universities can formally commit to achieving carbon neutrality (mitigation) and/or highly improved sustainability measures (adaptation). Of the 697 signatories, seven are Indiana institutions.

The Ohio State University is a public, Big Ten institution noticeably larger than IU Bloomington, and it is a signatory.

IU Bloomington flaunts the top graduate environmental policy program in the country, yet we are mediocre at best when it comes to climate action. How can we recruit the nation’s brightest graduates to study an issue that the university administration does not respect? Climate change is not a political issue. It is real. It is existential. It is caused by human activity. The time for debating facts is long

over. We challenge President McRobbie to commit to aiding us in building a future we deserve. We have compiled a variety of substantial measures that can be implemented at all IU campuses and hope to meet with President McRobbie so that the Sustainability Planning in IU’s Master Plan can at least be worth the paper it is written on.

The future is ours, but with the lack of attention given to climate change on our campus, the future we stand to inherit is ravaged.

President McRobbie, it would be a great shame for inaction on climate to be a salient part of your legacy.

Failure to act convincingly on climate change will put all of our futures at severe risk. In the fierce urgency of now, it is time to act--decisively.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Anti-facist groups also wreak havoc on campus Two fringe political groups have made themselves present in Bloomington in the past week. First, the national white supremacist group Identity Europa frightened faculty and students when they posted flyers on the doors of faculty offices and in Dunn’s Woods. These posters, were ironically cryptic, yet crystal clear in their intention. The spineless attempt to unease the university’s population was rightly publicized and criticized.

I write the Daily Student today to shed light on the presence of another political group whose speech is

not only harmful, but unwelcome. Pictured is an ANTIFA flyer that was hung outside of Brother’s on Walnut Street. The group’s name is an abbreviation of antifascist, which seems fairly innocuous, but one only need do basic research to realize this organization is as much a threat to peace as a tyrannical dictator.

The website listed on the flyer calls the protest of Milo Yiannopoulos’ visit to U.C. Berkeley, where Molotov cocktails were thrown and windows were smashed, a “successful demonstration”. In the same article, the anonymous author praises

a video where a member of Berkeley College Republicans is punched in the face. The group goes so far as to boast about the vandalism of parking meters in downtown Bloomington the night of the inauguration.

Protesters also drug trash receptacles in the road, shot paintballs at buildings and let off a smoke bomb near the Sample Gates, according to tweets from the IDS’s Jack Evans.

Anyone acquainted with me knows that I value the First Amendment as much as I value the blood in my veins, but a group who actively advocates for and

perpetrates violence against those who identify differently not only disrespects their fellow man, but they tread on the Constitution as well. ANTIFA attempts to justify itself by claiming its acts of vandalism, violence and terrorism are a legitimate form of protest against its definition of fascist ideals, which includes the current administration. If we sit idly by and let homeland terrorists define “fascism”, it won’t be long before they’re knocking down the door of your average Republican.

The tradition lives on History of Rose Well House lives on through old stories and young couples

T

he IU Bucket List includes a variety of campus-driven activities recommended for incoming students.

“At night, lie on the ground and watch the lights change on the side of the IU Art Museum.”

“Look at the stars from the Kirkwood Observatory.”

“Kiss someone special at the Rose Well House at midnight.”

From the latter list item stems a long line of stories, and from that line another, the physical line of a few couples waiting to kiss under the gazebo at midnight on Valentine’s Day. Each year, young couples will wait by the structure near the center of campus to kiss their significant others under the roof of the Rose Well House.

The walls of that shelter have seen countless kisses and proposals over the years, and the tradition began with the reveal of the house in 1908.

Carrie Schwier, outreach and public services archivist for the Indiana University Archives, said the historical reminiscence is possibly one of the reasons the kissing tradition has lasted more than 100 years.

“In particular, I think it’s probably the nostalgia of it, the romance, the sense that, too, it’s been a traditional for generations,” Schwier said. “For a lot of students, their parents and grandparents have possibly gone to university here, so maybe they’ve heard stories from parents or grandparents who were meeting up at the Rose Well House for dates.”

A paper written by Carson Smith, who

was a student at IU in 1973, delved into the folklore and tradition behind what was at that time dubbed the Beta Well House. His paper described the established location as a premiere kissing spot for young couples.

“Young women are still ‘becoming coeds,’ getting ‘pinned’ and being asked to marry under the shade of the Well House,” Smith wrote.

The Rose Well House was named after student Theodore F. Rose, a member of the class of 1875 who presented the house to the school, according to Smith’s paper. The structure was dedicated to the class.

Rose’s brotherhood within the group.

The traditions of the kiss under the Rose Well House were, at the time of Smith’s writing, most well known by members of Greek houses on campus.

For years after the establishment of the tradition, the label of coed, a female student at a coeducational school, was designated only to women who had the experience of being kissed inside the house, according to an IDS article written

by Joyce Lakey in 1950.

Schwier said that the Rose Well kiss, unlike some of the other enduring IU traditions, seems to have been through the history more closely tied to defining that

“Part of it is taking amusement in the practices of the past. But perhaps the best reason for the folklore of the Well House is the same reason for which it was created – it serves to bring young couples together.”

Carson Smith, IU alumnus wrote in his research paper about the Rose Well House

The gazebo was initially built in 1908 as a shelter for drinking water, and anyone who visits the space today notices the drinking fountains located in the middle of the shelter.

These serve also a reminder of its original purpose to distribute water as a fire cistern.

“The arches in the Rose Well House actually came from IU’s old campus,” Schwier said. “When the original campus building burned down, they took those parts of it and made the Rose Well House.

It’s kind of a mix of the old and the new.”

The space gained the supplemental name of “Beta Well House” because of the structure’s design, the shape of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity pin, symbolizing

student’s role.

“I can’t think of any others that I’ve heard of any others where they say, ‘If you graduate without doing this, you’re not a student,” Schwier said. “It’s interesting that it’s mostly directed at female students, I think it’s very telling.”

The rules to becoming an official coed in the ‘50s dictated female students should meet a romantic partner at Rose Wells at midnight and kiss them under the shelter.

“The embrace, of course, must last for the duration of the twelve bells,” Lakey wrote.

The midnight tradition held special significance back when women attending the school had a strict 11 p.m. curfew.

The act then was not just romantic but also a risk of repercussions if the lovers were caught, according to another story written by Michelle Abels for the IDS in 1995.

The popularity of the tradition decreased according to multiple articles written in the 1960s, stating that the outdated tradition was no longer carrying the same significance in the minds of young students.

The 1995 story by Abels found that women were still not considered “real students” unless they had been kissed under the house at the stroke of midnight on any night.

The piece acknowledged that, over the years, Valentine’s Day evolved into a popular date choice because of the significance as the day celebrating love.

Smith concluded his paper by asking why the tradition proliferated even into the mid-1970s.

“Part of it is taking amusement in the practices of the past,” Smith wrote. “But perhaps the best reason for the folklore of the Well House is the same reason for which it was created – it serves to bring young couples together.”

What is most interesting about enduring myths, such as that of the Rose Well House and other locations on campus, are the stories, which IU Archives has been working to uncover through oral histories, Schwier said.

“I’m always fascinated about the romantic stories that come along with it,” Schwier said. “Sometimes we’ll interview couples that went through the university, so it’s usually people who are my grandparents’ age, so it’s always really endearing to hear these stories where their couples talk about their early relationships and how they were built on campus.”

Junior guard James Blackmon Jr. pushes through Michigan defenders Sunday afternoon. IU lost, 75-63, and will take on Minnesota on Wednesday in Minneapolis.

Hoosiers start final stretch at Minnesota

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

A lot of questions regarding the state of IU basketball, including which postseason tournament the Hoosiers will play in, will be answered in the upcoming weeks.

As of now, IU is a lock to go to the NIT, a 32-team tournament that is a clear step down from the NCAA Tournament.

As losers of five of their last six, the defending Big Ten champions have dug themselves into a big hole and are currently tied for 10th place in the conference. IU’s path doesn’t get any easier.

Starting at Minnesota on Wednesday, IU will play four of its last five games on the road. While IU has only won one true road game all season at Penn State, it may have to win out and make a run in the Big Ten tournament to be considered by the NCAA Tournament committee as a team that is worthy for the field of 68.

“The maturity issue for us, which we’ve fought all year, has really discombobulated us a bit,” IU Coach Tom Crean said on his weekly radio show. “When we’re not making shots, you’ve gotta have the mental toughness to come back down and string multiple stops together. You can’t lose your focus and energy because you’re not seeing the ball go through the basket.”

In late September, IU’s

lone senior, forward Collin Hartman, went down with a knee injury in practice that required surgery. Hartman has been out ever since.

From that moment, Crean turned to his junior guards, James Blackmon Jr., Robert Johnson and Josh Newkirk to become leaders on the team. Now, as the number of remaining games become fewer and mistakes loom larger, Crean is still looking for a leader.

After the loss to Michigan, Crean said the juniors have no ability to look past themselves.

The foundation of IU basketball is planted on leadership and when leadership lacks, it affects all facets of the game. What it affects the most is turnovers — when there are no leaders on a team, decision making is often compromised.

Due to the lack of leadership, Crean said his team is still working on things in practice it shouldn’t be doing in the middle of February.

“In all honesty, what really bothers me the most is I think we’ve done a pretty good job over a period of time of really teaching basketball IQ,” Crean said.

“There’s times it looks like we haven’t done it at all.

combined 26.7 points per game. The Gophers started the season 15-2 and 3-1 in the Big Ten until they hit a five-game losing skid in the middle of the Big Ten schedule.

Since their losing streak, the Gophers have won three in a row.

Minnesota shuts down teams on defense. The Gophers boast the second best field goal percentage defense and the best 3-point percentage defense in the Big Ten. Three-point shooting has been reliable for IU all year, but in the past two games, the shooting has been an issue.

Washington Wizards are good, not great, and that’s OK each other, according to multiple reports. Wall and backcourt mate Bradley Beal were unhappy with each other’s play, and their despondency spread through the entire squad.

Yes, the bench is still rotten, but the starting five has been so magnificent that the glaring flaws are less magnified for now. This isn’t a championship team because it doesn’t have the full-squad talent to beat the Warriors, Cavaliers or Spurs, but this is a team that can make some noise in the playoffs, which brings us to a crucial point.

Sometimes you don’t have to win the whole shebang to have a successful season.

Washington basketball has been a mecca of sadness in the past few years. Injuries, strife and more injuries have turned a pretty nice roster into an underachieving behemoth.

However, this season has been fun. Wall and Beal have shown flashes of brilliance. Coach Scott Brooks has done wonders with a depleted roster. Wingman Otto Porter has become one of the best 3-point shooters in the league.

Watching this team night in and night out is no lon-

ger a depressing experience — looking at you, New York Knickerbockers.

Instead, the Wizards are a team that can beat any opponent on any given night.

Going to or watching a game is no longer a chore but an experience.

Their only loss in the past 10 games is to basketball cheat-code Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Wizards lost 140-135 after James hit a buzzer-beater game-tying 3-pointer to send it into overtime.

Cleveland ultimately outlasted Washington. It was a really tough loss, but it was fun.

With the recent influx of sabermetrics and analytics, it seems that there’s a strong impulse to tear down basketball teams when there’s no chance for a championship.

I understand the instinct, but at the end of the season there’s only going to be one team wearing the crown.

Might as well have some fun in the meantime, even if there’s no trophy on the horizon. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31

this was the kind of guy that would fit well into our offensive staff, as well as our entire coaching staff.”

The tradition of a strong offensive line at IU was enough to draw Hiller to Bloomington. The culture started with Frey and was carried through by former Hoosiers Jason Spriggs and Dan Feeney.

Those cornerstones of an offensive line tradition are “paramount to success,” Hiller said. The high-level players that lead in the weight room and on the field transfer those practices to the NFL. He only knows eight of the 17 current offensive linemen on the IU roster because of recruiting and school affiliations throughout the recruiting process, but he wants to quickly create an offensive line that’s aggressive enough to open holes and athletic enough to make plays in space.

Similar to Frey, Hiller said he wants a high-tempo offense to run through a strong offensive line.

“We’re the engine of the car,” Hiller said. “You can talk about the quarterbacks and the running backs, the receivers and the tight ends, but the car’s not going to move without the engine, and the offensive line’s got to be the engine.”

Catchers battle for starting job

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@indiana.edu @cdrummond97

Tom Crean, IU coach

GOTT TAKES

The Oklahoma City Thunder are a pretty good team.

Led by Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City is 31-24, which is impressive given the fact they lost Kevin Durant in the off season.

They are 19-8 at home, third in the league in rebounds and a likely playoff team in the Western Conference.

The Thunder also trailed the Washington Wizards by 34 points in the third quarter on Monday.

After starting 6-12 to start the season, superstar point guard John Wall and company are now 33-21 and have gone 9-1 in their last 10 games. They also lead the Southeast Division, which they haven’t won since 1979.

One question remains: What the hell happened in the past few months?

Early in the season, during their putrid start, a rumor arose about the Wizards trading Wall for assets and effectively starting over in the upcoming draft. I was one of many who pondered the possible deal as a viable way for the team to restart and build for a new future as a dismal start to the season was already underway.

Things didn’t seem possible to fix. The stars disliked

New offensive line coach Darren Hiller and IU Coach Tom Allen have been friends for a long time.

Their two careers first intersected back in 2011, when Hiller coached the offensive line Darren at Arkansas Hiller State and Allen coordinated the defense. The Red Wolves finished the season 10-2 and advanced to their second bowl game in program history that season.

Allen left Arkansas State for Ole Miss in 2012, and the two wouldn’t cross paths again until February, when Allen hired Hiller to coach the IU offensive line.

“I have known Darren Hiller for a number of years and have always been so impressed with him, both as a person and as a coach,” Allen said in a press release after Hiller’s hire. “He is a tremendous teacher in the area of the offensive line.”

IU offensive coordinator Mike DeBord said after former IU offensive line coach Greg Frey left for Michigan in January, Allen

recommended Hiller for the opening. DeBord could do his research, but Allen said he wanted DeBord to take a “strong look” at Hiller.

In his last two stops at South Florida and Cincinnati, Hiller coached high-profile offensive lines.

In 2016, South Florida ranked fourth nationally in scoring and fifth in rushing yardage, and the offensive line ranked 14th nationally with 15 sacks allowed in 13 games. Hiller was the offensive line coach and the cooffensive coordinator during that season.

The 23-year coaching veteran also spent 2013-15 at Cincinnati. During that time the Bearcats won three bowl games, and the team broke 18 offensive school records during the 2015 season. The Cincinnati offensive line also ranked third nationally in 2014.

Hiller had just accepted the offensive line and rungame coordinator position at Houston on Jan. 6, where he would coach a program that spent the majority of the 2016 season in the Associated Press Top-25 Poll.

DeBord saw that recent résumé and gave Hiller a call.

“If that doesn’t make a coordinator happy, I don’t know what will,” DeBord said. “I could just tell that

IU Coach Michelle Gardner said she knew her team would need to fill a void at catcher this season.

After losing last season’s starting catchers Kelsey Dotson and Kassi Farmer to graduation, the Hoosiers have turned to two new faces as replacements.

Junior Shayna Gamm and freshman Bella Norton are both new to IU with Gamm transferring from Lake Land College in Illinois. Despite their inexperience with the program and Division I softball, Gardner said she feels comfortable having either player catch on a given day.

“They’re just a little different, but yet I think they’re both very good catchers,” Gardner said. “It’s a matter of keeping it in perspective about who’s throwing the ball and who works with who.”

Norton started four of the five games at the Kajikawa Classic this past weekend.

Gamm started once and replaced Norton in another game. Three of Norton’s four starts came when sophomore pitcher Tara Trainer was in the circle. With Trainer on the mound, IU allowed only seven hits more than 16 and one third innings pitched.

Gardner, a former pitcher at Michigan, said for pitchers being in a comfort zone often has to do with who is behind the plate.

“I think Tara is very comfortable with Bella,” Gardner said. “That’s why you had those two matched up together.”

While Norton struggled at the plate to begin the tournament, she ended her time in Arizona on a high. Norton recorded her first two collegiate hits Sunday in the 2-0 win against Saint Mary’s, and one was an RBI double in the seventh. Defensively, though, Norton committed an error and allowed several passed balls during the tournament.

“It was obviously a bit of a nerve-racking experience for me,” Norton said. “But I was extremely motivated.”

Gamm didn’t get as many opportunities as Norton during IU’s first five games, but she put her experience to use when the chances came. She notched a two-RBI single in IU’s 7-3 win against Seattle and also scored a run.

Succeeding at the plate isn’t new for Gamm. Last year at Lake Land, Gamm hit 10 home runs, recorded 55 RBI and hit .369. Taking the junior college route isn’t a new concept for Gamm either. Her sister also played at Lake Land before transferring to San Diego State.

“After seeing my sister and her teammates and hearing about the program at Lake Land, I decided it would be best to go there,” Gamm said.

“I got more playing time at Lake Land, and I was able to learn about myself more and where I got my confidence

from.”

A California native, Gamm has gone through several personal adjustments in her athletic career and has had to adapt to different surroundings in the Midwest.

“Being more secluded around cornfields at Lake Land was fun,” Gamm said.

“I like Indiana because you have back roads here, but you also kind of have a downtown life.”

Despite being from Virginia, Norton said she knew she wanted to be a Hoosier from an early age and said she enjoyed her first tournament with the team.

“Wherever I went I wanted to be taken care of, and I wanted to be supported , and I really felt that here,” Norton said. “I’m lucky to be a part of this.”

Gardner said the catching competition will continue through IU’s nonconference tournaments, with more of a balance in playing time expected this weekend at the University of Texas Tournament.

While the competition has been ongoing since the fall, Norton credits it with helping both players improve their games.

“Shayna is one of my best friends here, and I think we make each other better,” Norton said. “I think she covers bases well, and she helps me improve in that sense, and I know there are some things she looks to me for to improve on.”

Slugger explains return to college

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman

Craig Dedelow was IU’s best hitter during the 2016 season.

The senior outfielder led the Hoosiers in seven statistical batting categories, finished second on the team in three more categories, and played and started all 56 games.

In those 56 games, Dedelow recorded at least one hit in 42 of them and was the only Hoosier batter to finish the season with a batting average better than .300.

The Munster, Indiana, native was consistent in the second spot of the IU lineup during a season when pitching was the strength of the team.

The Pittsburgh Pirates took notice.

Dedelow was drafted in the 34th round of the 2016 MLB Draft by the Pirates, but the then-junior did not sign a professional contract.

He stayed in Bloomington.

“It was mostly, ‘Am I ready to start my professional career?’” Dedelow said. “Some parts of me felt like I was.”

The outfielder had come a long way since his freshman season in 2014, when he played just 36 games with a .232 batting average and a 16-12 hit-strikeout ratio.

In the last two seasons, Dedelow became a household name for the casual IU baseball fan. He and the

other IU sluggers represent the post-2013 College World Series era — an era of a team with batters drawn to Bloomington for the reputation left behind by Chicago Cubs star and former Hoosier Kyle Schwarber.

Dedelow was one of those batters, and being drafted by the Pirates proved his value to the Hoosiers and showed the potential he had to increase that value after another season in Bloomington. The senior said he recognized that and decided he needed more preparation for the pros.

“Being in the weight room and being a lot more

physical is a big thing for me,” Dedelow said. “Not playing summer ball this summer and staying in Bloomington and being able to workout with our strength coach and actually have a program day-by-day — that was a big part for me.”

Statistically, it’s not difficult to recognize why Dedelow would want to improve before signing a professional contract. After recording career highs in batting average at .325, hits with 76, runs with 40, home runs with 7 and slugging percentage at .496 in 2015, he fell just shy of all those marks in 2016.

he had a down season. It means he didn’t improve statistically the way many collegiate athletes like to before going pro.

“Overall, I didn’t feel like my whole self was there ready to make the decision, and if I wasn’t 100 percent bought into it, then it just wasn’t the right time,” Dedelow said.

Junior outfielder Logan Sowers — who led the team in home runs with 8 and slugging percentage at .466 in 2016 — said he heard Dedelow actually had signed with the Pirates before the real news broke after the draft.

“When I heard that I was like, ‘Good for him, but that kind of hurts us,’” Sowers, laughing, said. “Then the other news came out that he actually didn’t sign, and I was extremely happy.”

Sowers also noted Dedelow’s abilities in the field in addition to his batting. Dedelow has committed just 11 errors in three seasons, but for Sowers and most IU baseball fans and coaches, Dedelow makes the biggest difference at the plate.

“The guy’s hit over .300 the last two years,” Sowers said. “Just a solid guy in the middle of the lineup. It just helps us a ton.”

3-point threats, Blackmon Jr. and Johnson, are a combined five of 23 from downtown.

“At the end of the day, the thing that you put at the top of the umbrella, and I should say it’s defense, but we’re not making open shots,” Crean said.

“We’re shooting too many pull-ups because we’re not getting enough separation from the defense. Some of it is in our set-ups, some of it is in not waiting for the screen, rushing, those types of things, rather than doing our work early.”

If the Hoosiers are to make the NCAA Tournament they’ll have to start the trek with a road win in a place where Crean has only won twice as IU’s head coach.

Last season’s Big Ten championship team pulled out a win at Minnesota but needed help from senior leaders Yogi Ferrell and Nick Zeisloft. That Minnesota team ended with two wins in conference play.

Given the leadership and shooting issues the Hoosiers are having, it will be exponentially more difficult for them to pull out a win on the road Wednesday against the stout Gopher defense.

The game against the Gophers will go a long way toward answering the question of where IU will be playing its postseason basketball, but it might take the next five contests to answer an even larger question — who will be IU’s head coach next season?

“Frankly, freedom of press shouldn’t be a matter of luck,” Qian said during her testimony.

Precedent on this subject was set in 1988, when Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, a landmark case for student press freedoms, gave administrators prior review and restraint.

Diana Hadley, director of IHSPA who helped spearhead the campaign in Indiana, was a high school journalism teacher when the Hazelwood decision came down. She testified Tuesday that the case gave administrators a tool to control student voice with which they were uncomfortable and caused some schools to miss valuable teaching moments.

The legislature heard

from many students and advisers who are fortunate to have press freedoms, Hadley said. However, many around the state are not as fortunate.

One such adviser who testified Tuesday was Amy Sorrell, who had previously taught at Woodland Junior-Senior High School in Woodland, Indiana.

Sorrell said she lost her job due to the publication of a very small piece that encouraged tolerance.

The short opinion column merely said students should be kind to gay students, Sorrell said. However, after its publication, the school district decided to enact prior review. Later that year, after the incident had gained national media attention, Sorrell was abruptly fired. That was the last time she taught at a public school in Indiana, Sorrell said.

“I lost my job defending

my student,” Sorrell said. “I printed that article 10 years ago. I would print it today.”

Other support for the bill came from the Student Press Law Center in Washington, D.C., IU and the Media School, and the Hoosier State Press Association. A few concerned comments during the hearing regarded the possibility of students being irresponsible when given more freedom to publish pieces, but testifiers reassured listeners that HB 1130 would not eliminate the very present role of journalism advisers to provide guidance to their students.

The hearing adjourned at about 1 p.m., and Committee Chair Rep. Bob Behning, R-Indianapolis, said testimony will continue Thursday. Behning said two who oppose the bill still have to testify.

Barnette Students can’t be forced to stand up to salute the American flag and say the Pledge of Allegiance in schools, according to this U.S. Supreme Court decision. This overturned the 1940 Minsersville School District v. Gobitis decision.

JAN. 13, 1988 Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier This landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision decided public school student newspapers are subject to a lower level of First Amendment protection than if they were operating independently.

FEB. 24, 1969 Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District The U.S. Supreme Court defined the constitutional rights of public school students with the “Tinker Test,” which says students are free to express themselves as long as their speech doesn’t substantially interfere with the school’s discipline requirements.

SEPT. 22, 1994 Desilets v. Clearview Regional Board of Education According to the New Jersey Supreme Court, public school curricular student newspapers don’t receive the same First Amendment protections as independent student expression.

JULY 7, 1986 Bethel School District v. Fraser After a student gave a speech that was filled with innuendos that failed to cross the line into obscenity at his school, the U.S. Supreme Court decided his subsequent suspension did not violate his First Amendment rights.

As for the actual competition, the Hoosier swimmers will predictably be led by King and Dalesandro. King is defending conference titles in both the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke, while Dalesandro has won the 200-yard butterfly in each of the last three years and will look to complete the four-peat.

“I don’t really know where to go from last year to be honest,” King said. “But this year I’m going to have a pretty good race in both 100 and the 200 from two different girls from Minnesota that weren’t there last year, so I’m going to have some good races, and I’m looking forward to it.”

Johnson said she wanted to make sure students were getting genuine advice from people who could relate to the students’ own experiences.

Taliefero was a member of IU Soul Revue when she attended IU in the 1980s. She went on to produce and tour with John Mellencamp, Billy Joel and other famous musicians before returning to

junior Ali Rockett, sophomore Laura Morley and freshman Cassie Jernberg as swimmers to watch this week. Rockett in particular has experienced a renaissance this season. Just this year, Rockett won the 100yard backstroke against Louisville, Purdue and Cincinnati and had an NCAA B-cut time against the Cardinals.

On the diving side, the two-pronged assault of junior Jessica Parratto and senior Michal Bower will lead the Hoosiers. Parratto won the 2015 Big Ten and NCAA titles in the 10-meter platform dive as a freshman and will look to continue her dominance there. Bower has also been stellar for the Hoosiers this season. She won the 3-meter springboard against Michigan State, Kentucky and Tennessee and swept the 1- and 3-meter against Louisville.

Parratto said the past few

weeks of training have been hard.

“They’ve been big training weeks,” Parratto said. “But they’ve been really good, and you know we’ve just been focusing on getting as much experience on maybe bigger dives that we’re doing, learning new dives and, you know, trying them out at this meet, which is going to be a big test for sure.”

While the Hoosiers might be limping into the postseason after a few down weeks, the team feels anxious and ready to get into championship mode, especially considering they have finished first or second at Big Tens eight years in a row.

“We’ve got one of the hardest dual meet schedules in the NCAA,” King said. “So being able to swim a meet where we’re actually fully rested now and ready to go is going to be good for us.”
