Former IU employee charged with rape

By Joe Schroeder joemschr@iu.edu | @joemschroeder

A former IU employee was arrested at his apartment Monday after allegedly binding a woman with duct tape and raping her.

Originally, police received a call from the woman’s coworker Nov. 30 saying her friend had called her and was lost downtown. Her roommate told police she had not spoken to the woman, but she was supposed to be staying downtown with a friend.

Bloomington Police Department officers were sent out to look for her, Capt. Steve Kellams said.

While looking for the woman, a clerk at the Village Pantry on East Winslow Road called officers saying they had seen a woman walking around with a blue sweatshirt and no pants. Police eventually found her on North Sixth Street only wearing a sweatshirt, Kellams said.

The woman was apprehensive when talking to officers and repeatedly said she just wanted to go home.

Officers drove the woman home and encouraged her to go to the hospital and take a rape kit, which she did later in the day, Kellams said.

The woman filed a report Dec. 2, telling officers she and her coworkers went out Nov. 29. The group went SEE ARREST, PAGE 8

IU chapter of Kappa Sigma suspended

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

The IU chapter of Kappa Sigma has been suspended by its national headquarters, according to a letter from the fraternity’s executive director.

The Beta-Theta chapter was withdrawn Dec. 3 due to hazing and alcohol violations, according to the letter. The chapter is to suspend all activities and turn over the property and charter immediately.

“We are informing the University and the campus community that the Kappa Sigma Chapter is no longer in operation in any form or fashion,” Mitchell Wilson, the Kappa Sigma executive director, said in the letter.

Taps was blaring from inside the Kappa Sigma house Tuesday afternoon. A blue banner flapped in the wind.

“Olympus has fallen,” it said.

Any attempt to continue operating the chapter underground is grounds for suspension or expulsion, Wilson said in the letter. The fraternity may also pursue legal action against members of the former chapter.

Eli Friedlander, president of Kappa Sigma, was walking around in front of the chapter house with a hammer in his hand, used by others to remove the letters from the house, around 4:15 p.m.

“I have absolutely no comment on this matter,” Friedlander said.

The chapter has 30 days to appeal the decision from its national headquarters, according to the letter.

The chapter can continue to live in its house for the rest of the semester, but afterward must vacate the premises, said IU spokesman Chuck Carney.

The University supports the national organization's decision, Carney said.

The Interfraternity Council could not immediately be reached for comment and the Beta-Theta chapter declined to comment.

THE COST OF CONVENIENCE E-scooters captivated IU students, but more than 75 have been hurt so far.

Senior Brian Sweeney fractured his left wrist and elbow after falling off a Lime scooter going 20 miles per hour Oct. 25. He had to wear a brace and sling and was cleared to take it off just before Thanksgiving.

lgerike@iu.edu | @lydiagerike

One student fractured his elbow and wrist. Another lost her front teeth. Then there’s Ian McIntire.

The junior who fell from a Bird was never in a coma, despite what some of his IU peers may have heard, but he’s still dealing with the effects of cracking his skull.

He doesn’t remember the accident. The last thing he recalls from that day is trying to find a scooter while his friends took an Uber home.

Now he’s on medical leave from IU and stuck living at home in Indianapolis.

“It was just not a good decision,” he says. * * * Companies such as Lime and Bird tout their product as a way to solve the “last mile” problem — when a final distance is too close for the bus or a car but still too far to walk — but the scooters have created new issues as well.

Injuries have been reported in hospitals across the country. At least two men, one in Dallas and one in Washington, D.C., died this summer from scooter-related crashes.

A class-action lawsuit was filed against e-scooter companies Oct. 19 in the Los Angeles Superior Court. The lawsuit claims dropping e-scooters into cities without warn-

ing is a sign of “gross negligence” that is “aiding and abetting assault,” according to court documents obtained by the Washington Post.

After e-scooters arrived in Indianapolis, the city suspended their operation it implemented rules in September.

In Bloomington, more than 150 scooters were impounded by the IU Office of Parking Operations for not being parked near a bike rack. One man was arrested for allegedly driving a Lime while drunk. Beth Rupp, medical director at the IU Health Center, has been tracking student escooter injuries since October.

As of Wednesday, there have been at least 55 scooter-related injuries recorded at the IU Health Cen-

ter. Rupp said she knows through medical records 22 students have been seen at the IU Health Bloomington Hospital emergency room.

The numbers are almost certainly an underestimate, Rupp said.

IU Health Bloomington Hospital does not keep track of scooter-related incidents, according to multiple spokespeople. Additionally, IU Police Department Chief Laury Flint said some injuries likely go unreported.

“I think part of it is the embarrassment,” Flint said. “They don’t want to call us.”

Although Rupp doesn’t know if the e-scooters should be completely removed, she said riders don’t seem to fully understand the risks.

“I think campus would be safer without the electric scooters,” she said.

Some riders, like IU senior Brian Sweeney, have experienced malfunctioning e-scooters. Sweeney almost rode into Walnut Street traffic because his Lime wouldn’t stop. He slowed down and jumped off, but the Lime kept going until it toppled over.

He said no one from the company has responded to Sweeney reporting the broken scooter through the app, but when a Lime he’d ridden went missing, he was contacted within a few days.

While riding another Lime on Oct. 25, around two weeks later, Sweeney fell. He believes he was going about 20 miles per hour.

Sweeney was only about a block away from his Gateway apartment near Square Donuts, but it was hard for him to get home.

Dizziness crept up. He usually faints when he’s injured, and he fought lightheadedness as he walked.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

IU extends nation's longest winning streak

By Dylan Wallace dswallac@iu.edu | @Dwall_1

IU Coach Teri Moren took the cliché, “just one game at a time” approach as her 7-0 team prepared for the 6-0 Butler Bulldogs on Wednesday night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

As repetitive as that phrase is, Moren uses it as a necessary attitude to make sure her team doesn’t get too far ahead of itself.

As there were some national whispers about her squad’s start to the season, Moren kept the focus on Butler and as a result, the Hoosiers defeated the Bulldogs 66-46 to improve to 8-0 on the year, which is the best start Moren has had to a season in her five years at IU. Perhaps more impressive than the 8-0 start to the season is that IU currently has the longest active win streak in the NCAA dating back to last season with 14 straight wins.

Behind Moren’s relaxed “one game at a time” mantra is a deeper preparation from her staff that allows the Hoosiers to be prepared for each opponent they see on the court.

The streak started March 15 in

Thousands of lights brighten Bloomington

By Emily Isaacman eisaacma@iu.edu | @emilyisaacman

Thousands of light bulbs swoop like a pinwheel from the Monroe County Courthouse to the tops of storefronts in the downtown square.

The lights stay up year round, but during the holidays they brighten the square to become a symbol of Bloomington’s community spirit.

For Tyler Kay, manager of the Game Preserve, the lighting ceremony is crucial. No other holiday event attracts as many customers to his store for planning their shopping.

“A lot of people will get ideas during Canopy of Lights, then come back during the season,” Kay said.

While they are strung across the downtown area, the lights are not maintained by the city of Bloomington.

Downtown Bloomington Inc., a nonprofit organization focused on revitalizing the downtown area, has planned the annual ceremony since 1985.

The organization’s initial goal was to promote the downtown area as businesses were leaving a few decades ago, said Talisha Coppock, director of Downtown Bloomington Inc. While the storefronts are now filled, Coppock said the lights and

the annual ceremony are still important for keeping the downtown area active.

“I think it’s an everyday challenge to keep it vibrant and thriving,” Coppock said.

Downtown Bloomington Inc. partners with Cassady Electrical Contractors, Monroe County and CFC Proper-

ties to provide and install the lights.

About 5,000 incandescent light bulbs form the canopy, Coppock said. Downtown Bloomington Inc. considers switching to LEDs every year but has not been satisfied with the blue-white feel of the LEDs it has looked at. The

cost of purchasing new bulbs has also been a concern.

“We want to keep all the light bulbs the same color, and the clear seems to work really well,” Coppock said.

Just a few of the current lights are LEDs, Coppock said.

According to the Home

Depot website, a string of 25 C9 clear incandescent lights uses 175 watts of electricity, meaning the canopy could use about 35,000 watts.

LED lights are more energy efficient and cost-effective in the long run. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, widespread use of LED

lights by 2027 could lessen the country’s electricity consumption by the equivalent of 44 large electric power plants annually, and it could save more than $30 billion.

A string of 100 LED dome lights at Home Depot uses just 9.6 watts of electricity.

IU transitioned the large candles on the side of the Indiana Memorial Union to LED lights earlier this year, according to a press release.

The Facilities staff said it had wanted to make the change for years, but was hindered by cost and the lack of available red LEDs. The canopy lights stay up, but not on, year-round to avoid the street closings and labor involved in installing them, Coppock said. She did not know how much the current bulbs cost.

Shawn Trendelman, service manager at Cassady Electrical Contractors, said the company spot replaces burned out light bulbs every year. This season, using a vehicle donated from MacAllister Rentals and the company’s bucket truck, a team of eight replaced 300 burned out lamps.

The lighting ceremony typically draws about 6,000 people each year, said Jim Murphy president of CFC Properties.

“It’s a wonderful way to kick off the season,” Murphy said.

Faculty Council approves change to GPA policies

By Ann Lewandowski anlewand@iu.edu | @alewandowski17

In its last meeting of the semester, the Bloomington Faculty Council unanimously approved changes Tuesday to IU’s education policy to help students’ GPAs in certain cases.

These changes include a way for students to retake courses to benefit their GPAs and receive a new GPA after an extended absence.

Students take part in the lighting of the Kwanzaa candles during the Pre-Kwanzaa Celebration on Wednesday in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. The event was followed by the Kwanzaa-in-Action Competition.

Kwanzaa celebrations begin at IU

By Julia Locanto jlocanto@iu.edu

Kwanzaa doesn’t start until Dec. 26. But those celebrating, including the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center and the Black Graduate Student Association, are already planning festivities, which center around feasts, gifts and bright colors.

Kwanzaa is a celebration meant to honor the African heritage in African-American culture, and the festivities focus on giving and community. The holiday goes from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1.

Bloomington Kwanzaa celebrations have already begun.

The Black Graduate Student Association had an event Monday, Shanalee Galllimore, a member of the association, said. The event was a Kwanzaa celebration along with the organization’s normal meeting.

“We had a mix of both graduate students and professionals,” Gallimore said.

“The program merged with our holiday party which was a great fit. It was my first time attending or even learning about Kwanzaa in general.”

The Neal-Marshall Center is also planning a Kwanzaa celebration. The date has not been decided yet, but Monica Green, director of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, said the event typically centers around the same traditions.

Kwanzaa was created by Maulana Karenga during the black nationalist movement in the 1960s, Green said.

Karenga originally designed it as a way for African Americans to reconnect with their African heritage, beginning with meditation, studying African traditions and the seven cultural principles, known as Nguzo Saba.

Kwanzaa was first officially

celebrated in 1966. In a 2006 speech, Karenga estimated that 28 million people around the world celebrate Kwanzaa.

“The holiday is about people coming together and the entrepreneurial spirit,” Green, said. “It usually includes sharing handmade gifts.”

The seven days of Kwanzaa are each dedicated to a different value.

These principles, in order, are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.

In the traditional sense, Kwanzaa includes colorful decorations and art.

Kwanzaa is often celebrated around the same time as Christmas, this year beginning Dec. 26.

It is typical to celebrate with a Christmas tree and kinara candles. The kinara

candle holder consists of three red candles on the left, three green on the right and one black candle in the middle.

Each kinara candle represents a day of Kwanzaa, and one is lit every day.

“The candle is a traditional part of Kwanzaa,” Green said. “But it is a symbol. It represents celebrating each day together.”

Another common symbol is the unity cup, called Kikombe cha Umoja.

“We always include the kinara candles and the cup, and we use a lot of harvestcentered items, like corn and fruit,” Green said.

Other Kwanzaa celebrations may surface as it gets closer to the holiday.

“At the end of the day, the holiday is not about material things,” Green said. “It’s about collective works and showing a community effort.”

A change to IU’s grade policy The BFC voted to allow students to replace a poor grade in a course with a grade earned in a graduate or honors course with similar content. The changes also give the deans of each school authority to choose which courses students can replace.

According to the previous policy, students who received below an A in any course had the option of retaking it to benefit their GPA. The grade from both attempts remained, but only the second one was added into the student’s GPA. The changes were introduced at the last meeting of the BFC and open for discussion, but were made final after the vote Tuesday.

A fresh start for students The BFC also approved a policy that would allow students with an extended absence from IU a chance to return to the University with a new GPA. According to the approved fresh start policy, a student pursuing his or her first bachelor’s degree who had taken at least a 36-month absence from the University would be eligible to return with a blank GPA.

Man dies after falling at Pi Beta Phi

By Joe Schroeder joemschr@iu.edu | @joemschroeder

An 85-year-old Bloomington man died Monday evening after falling off a ladder while hanging holiday lights on the Pi Beta Phi sorority house.

IU Police Department officers arrived at 928 East Third Street around 12:50 p.m. to find Billy Joe Marvin Wiley on the front patio receiving CPR from a Bloomington firefighter, IUPD Capt.

Craig Munroe said.

He was transported to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, where he was put on a ventilator and later died.

The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head, neck and chest, Monroe County Coroner Joani Shields said. It was ruled an accident.

Wiley is not an IU employee but was hired by Pi Beta Phi to decorate the building, Munroe said. Witnesses told officers Wiley had fallen from around 12 to 20 feet. Christian Wargo, Com-

This change was proposed at the last BFC meeting, but was revised after members of the council voiced their concerns.

The original proposal contained a requirement that the student have received a GPA below 2.0 in any semester previous to their hiatus.

After hearing the concerns of the council, Jack Bielasiak and other members of the educational policies committee decided to eliminate that requirement.

“That seems to be a very rare requirement on other campuses and universities,” Bielasiak said.

IU Provost Lauren Robel said this opportunity will not be available for graduate students and would require a separate policy.

“I think it’s right not to fold it into the undergraduate provision,” Provost Lauren Robel said. “Because the considerations are just too different and various for graduate students depending on the program that they’re in and the degree they’re pursuing.”

Other News BFC President Moria Marsh announced the amendments to the BFC’s constitution have officially been passed.

The constitutional amendments will add approximately 12 additional non-tenure-track faculty to the council, as opposed to the three seats currently available. The council estimates a voting system in place for faculty by 2020 to elect the new members.

After almost a year of discussion within the council and multiple public town halls this semester, Marsh said 828 faculty participated in the vote.

Heart & hustle Return of Devonte Green and Zach McRoberts from injury looks to spark IU men's basketball

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

ANNA TIPLICK | IDS

Even before the injuries came and IU Coach Archie Miller's rotation of players became smaller, Devonte Green and Zach McRoberts had displayed their value.

Green hadn't been used extensively as a starter during his three-year IU career, but he proved himself as a scoring spark plug off the bench.

The junior guard averaged almost eight points per game last season and was third on the team in total assists as a sophomore.

Despite being hampered by injuries as early as IU's closed scrimmage against Loyola-Chicago on Oct. 28, he already displayed his scoring flare this season when he was substituted into games to replace freshman starting guard Rob Phinisee.

McRoberts has been labeled as a prototypical hardworking, gritty player by Miller and IU fans alike. The fifth-year senior developed more of a shooting touch this offseason to compliment his hustle on defense, further endearing himself to those clad in cream and crimson inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

A thigh injury sidelined Green, while McRoberts was forced to sit out due to a lower back strain, during a four-game stretch from Nov. 14 to Nov. 27. In that time, IU put on a dazzling home performance against a ranked Marquette University team before losing at the University of Arkansas and recording lackluster wins against the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of California at Davis.

TY VINSON | IDS

Junior guard Devonte Green guards against Northwestern University on Dec. 1 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Green contributed six points to IU’s 68-66 win.

Both players returned for IU's trip to then-No. 3 Duke last week, and while neither could stop a blowout loss to the Blue Devils, their presence has been felt in IU's recent two wins.

"It's not fair to those two guys to evaluate them, obviously, with their first game back in Cameron Indoor," Miller said Nov. 30. "It was good to get them out there and I think that's the first step, but there won't be any restrictions unless it's obviously something that arises."

McRoberts didn't score against Northwestern, but he made a trademark diving play in the second half to save a ball heading out of bounds on an IU offensive possession, which ended with a jump shot made by freshman guard Romeo Langford.

Prior to the game, McRoberts had said the start of Big Ten play, a period which the Hoosiers went 2-0 in, matters as much now as it will in March when both the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments

take place.

For his part, Green hit consecutive three-pointers for IU in Tuesday's road win at Penn State, although his temporary scoring spurt soon gave way to turnovers against Penn State's pressing defense.

It continued the theme of Green providing Jekyll and Hydetype performances when trying to energize the Hoosier offense.

"I wish I could bring a spark, coming off the bench or not," Green said after the Northwest-

ern game. "But I'm just working my way into it."

More than anything else, the returns of Green and McRoberts to game action have given Miller the chance to utilize his team's much talked about depth, something that didn't exist with both players injured.

"It's one thing in a game, not having a lot of depth, but also hurts us in practice not being able to go against guys, is hard," McRoberts said Nov. 30. "Because we don't have a lot of subs in practice. It's definitely helped us and I think we'll only be more prepared because of it."

It hasn't been just the injuries suffered by Green and McRoberts reducing the number of available players for Miller.

Despite having only played nine games, the Hoosiers have been without freshman forwards Jerome Hunter and Race Thompson for virtually the entire season, and upperclassmen forwards De'Ron Davis and Juwan Morgan have also had their own scares with the injury bug.

When asked what is the hardest part of losing so many players to injury in a short period of time, Green referenced the mental effect it can have on the team's other players.

"I think mentally staying together as a team, mentally staying with the everyday recovery," Green said.

Depth was championed as a strong point of this IU team during the preseason, and after a brief period of uncertainty, it appears the pieces are beginning to be healthy enough to fall back into place.

Senior Zach McRoberts jumps to score against University of Southern Indiana on Nov. 1 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. IU defeated USI, 96-62.

As the IU men’s basketball team closed out a gritty road win over Penn State on Tuesday, there was a collective sigh of relief throughout Bloomington.

For the second straight game, the Hoosiers came close to falling to one of the Big Ten’s middling programs. But again, Archie Miller’s squad gutted out the victory.

The past week’s wins over Northwestern and the Nittany Lions were far from reassuring. But now sitting at 7-2, the staunch reality of the Big Ten slate and a nonconference schedule that does IU no favors presents this team with a month-long stretch when victory is mandatory.

Earlier this season, freshman phenom guard Romeo Langford was asked about the season’s expectations. His answer certainly excited the fan base.

“My expectation is to win a

National Championship,” freshman guard Romeo Langford said at IU Media Day in September. “I don’t go into any season just trying to win a couple games. I go in trying to win the whole entire championship.”

But to back up Langford’s comments, the Hoosiers’ must go undefeated over those aforementioned five games.

Starting with the University of Louisville and Butler University, the next week is a stiff task in itself. The Cardinals come to Bloomington on Saturday with wins over Michigan State University and Seton Hall University in tow. A near miss against Marquette University also highlights their early season agenda.

Chris Mack is still in his first year at the helm, but his team is a tough out any given night.

“We’ll have one of the most challenging schedules in all of college basketball,” Mack said at ACC Media Day. “But history will show the Selection Committee favors those teams that go out and aren’t afraid to play

anybody. So no one’s going to accuse us of being afraid to play anybody, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Seven days later, the Hoosiers head to Indianapolis for a mid-afternoon test against Butler. The Bulldogs are not quite the team they’ve been in recent years, but they already boast a solid nonconference win over Florida University.

Easy matchups with the University of Central Arkansas and Jacksonville University follow. And while the Hoosiers may be in Bloomington, students will be gone for the holidays, and the stands will be markedly bare. That said, neither the Bears nor the Dolphins are a serious threat.

The new year brings Illinois to town Jan. 3. The Illini are far removed from their 2004 Final Four, but Brad Underwood’s squad boasts a plethora of guards that could give the Hoosiers trouble.

Following that stretch, the heart of the Big Ten season be-

Purdue 7 p.m. Feb. 19 Iowa 9 p.m. Feb. 22 Wisconsin 9 p.m. Feb. 26 Michigan State noon March 2

gins. A Jan. 6 date with No. 5 University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and a visit to the Comcast Center against No. 23 Maryland open that section of the schedule. If the Hoosiers march into the Crisler Center at 12-2, presumably ranked and with a chance at a top-five win ahead of them, conference championship talk and more will be justified.

In all, the Hoosiers are on solid ground. The 21-point throttling at Duke is a one-off contest against arguably the nation’s best team in one of college basketball’s most difficult places to play.

The loss at Arkansas was also the first road test for a youthful backcourt that missed both senior Zach McRoberts and junior Devonte Green in that game due to injury.

If the Hoosiers drop a game in this month-long stretch, it’s not time for panic. But Langford and this team’s expectations of a 2018 national title may need to be reconsidered.

IU Hillel hosts Hanukkah party for students

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

With paper Hanukkah menorahs, strewn across the room and a table to make one’s own, many people celebrated the second day of Hanukkah. Traditional Jewish food was served and music played from the speakers.

The Birthright Israel Chanukah party Monday evening was presented by the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center for Jewish Life to celebrate Hanukkah and inform Jewish students about their opportunity to go to Israel with the Birthright Israel trip.

The party was full of food and Hanukkah-related games and crafts.

Senior Clara Fridman said Hanukkah is a holiday that focuses on family, for Jewish people around the world.

Fridman said Hanukkah is a minor holiday in Judaism. Since it’s so close to Christmas, a lot of people associate the two.

“It’s more about appreciating the small things, the little miracles you don’t necessarily expect,” Fridman said.

At the beginning of the event, the Hanukkah menorah is lit. Participants sang three blessings as the candles were lit.

One blessing is for lighting the candle, the next is for praising God and his miracles, and the last is praising god for sustaining them.

Freshman Haley Price said Hanukkah is special to her because of the importance placed on family and those around her.

ALEXIS OSER | IDS

Freshman Sydney Auerbach uses a glue gun to attach pieces to her handmade menorah Dec. 3. She also took the opportunity to wear festive overalls and a headband to the Hanukkah party at the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center.

“A lot of people call it the Jewish Christmas, but it’s a lot more than that,” Price said. “It reminds me of family and friends and food and the end of the year.”

Rabbi and IU Hillel executive director Sue Silberberg said the Birthright Israel trip is open to any student, ages 18 to 26, who identifies as Jewish and has at least one

Jewish parent. It is an allexpenses paid trip to Israel to explore one’s culture and community.

“The whole country of Israel is very special and holy to Jewish tradition, so it’s really an opportunity for students to connect to their Jewish identity and learn more about their country,” Silberberg said.

The opportunity to go to Israel means staying close to her faith and her culture, Price said. Not only does the trip help her appreciate her culture, it helps her appreciate her heritage more.

“It means staying in touch with my Judaism and going to the place where it all started,” Price said.

Having gone to Israel

once when she was a child, Price said the opportunity to go now would give her a chance to appreciate her heritage more deeply and understand what is happening around her.

IU freshmen react to first semester IU researchers study new cell binding methods

By Ellen Hine

emhine@indiana.edu | @ellenmhine

The first semester of freshman year can be transformational.

For many, it’s the first time they experience real independence. They make new friends, consume ramen noodles at an alarming rate and start to take charge of their own lives and education.

Earlier this year, we asked freshmen to reflect on their first week at IU and to explore how college seemed different from their high school experiences.

As finals week draws near, we decided to talk with freshmen again and ask them to reflect on their first semester at IU. Jennie Balsano is a media major with a concentration in advertising.

She had just finished speaking to her group members about their final project for her class on gender in the media.

Indiana Daily Student: How has your first semester been?

Balsano: It’s been good.

I definitely expected that I would be really stressed compared to my high school load, but it’s definitely different in retrospect to your mental health and like how you take care of it. I’ve really had to pay attention to that.

What’s the biggest difference between high school and college?

Probably just learning to manage, you know, when I should do all my assignments and how I should kind of expect assignments to go and how to be graded.

That’s kind of hard because everyone is so different, every professor is so different,

Family members help move their student’s belongings into Teter Quadrangle during move-in week.

every AI is so different in grading.

So you just kind of have to judge in your classes what you should pay attention for, especially in tests.

Was there anything that surprised you about college?

Even though college is extremely stressful for me, I think I was just surprised with how much free time there is and how I could even be stressed with all of the free time I had.

Are you excited about your classes next semester?

I think so, yeah. I’m definitely excited. Some of them, I’m nervous for, but other than that, I’m kind of excited to go the route of my major. * * * Luke Williams is a freshman from the Louisville area. He is a math and physics major. He was waiting for his Honors Calculus III class to start.

How has your first semester been?

Williams: It’s been pretty good. I like the campus and everything.

What’s the biggest difference between high school and college?

I’d probably say it’s more independent, and you have more freedom and stuff.

What’s been your favorite part of coming to IU? Probably going to the few basketball games we’ve had with my friends. * * * Jasmine Vann is majoring in music education and Spanish linguistics. She was taking a quick study break.

How has your first semester been?

Vann: My first semester has been amazing. I really love it here, and I’m so glad I decided to go here. My classes have been pretty engaging and challenging. I’ve enjoyed meeting so many people.

What’s the biggest difference between high school and college?

Definitely the whole living on my own thing. I can set my own schedule. I can go wherever I want, do whatever I want. And I also have to be very responsible for myself because I’m on my own.

Was there anything that surprised you about college?

Probably how many things have just kind of fallen into place for me. I didn’t expect them to go as smoothly as they did, but I’ve been very lucky this semester.

How so?

I got a house with some friends for next year all lined up. All of my assignments have been pretty good, my school work has been pretty good. I’ve still been able to balance everything, and I kind of thought I would struggle a little bit more than I did, which I’m very happy about.

Bloomington men arrested for graffiti

By Caroline Anders anders6@iu.edu | @clineands

Two Bloomington men were charged Friday in connection to prominent graffiti tags painted around the city.

Ricky Porter, 21, admitted to spray painting his tag, the word “vain,” across town. Jordan Cooper, 19, admitted to tagging “scope.”

Combined, the two were charged for at least 22 different instances of the graffiti.

The friends were arrested at Kroger on South Liberty Drive for outstanding warrants, but police also knew

they were both suspects in recent graffiti cases. Bloomington Police Department Lt. John Kovach said he believed the department had video footage of the two spray painting things around town.

When a BPD detective went to the jail to question Porter and Cooper,they both admitted to painting their tags around the city.

Porter told officers he thought his tag, “vain,” was a nice fit because graffiti artists tend to have big egos.

He also told police he actually wanted to start tagging something other than “vain,”

but the word is so ingrained in his muscle memory he can’t seem to.

Cooper told officers he’s responsible for every instance of “scope” painted around the city. He said he sometimes adds a smiley face to his “scope” tag to “change things up.”

On the signature line of his Miranda rights paperwork, he signed “scope” instead of his name.

Both men told officers they post their work on social media. A court order has been issued for access to their accounts.

The duo’s tags have been spotted around town, mostly on Bloomington’s west side, for months now.

In April, employees of First Christian Church on Kirkwood Avenue found the word “vain” written in purple spray paint on the church.

That same day, a Bloomington Police Department officer said he saw the same word painted on the Monroe County History Center on East Sixth Street, about a block from the church.

That case was one of the 22 closed after the arrest of Porter and Cooper.

Three IU researchers from the Department of Chemistry studied how cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, or particles the size of a nanometer, bind to target cells in 2016.

Their work was published last month in American Chemical Society’s journal ACS Nano.

For size comparison, the diameter of a human hair is 2.5 nanometers.

The team hopes that the knowledge they gained and the help of inquiries by future scientists can make vaccines and drug delivery more effective.

The research team is studying the process strictly for knowledge.

For example, it’s like if a new chemical was discovered.

The researchers’ first goal is to learn all they can about the chemical, and then think about the real-world applications.

The same method is being used here.

Corresponding author Yan Yu said the research had a simple goal: to start examining the bonding process of a nanoparticle unit and an artificial cell membrane.

The research used two different nanoparticles as a unit and then color-coded both as a way of keeping the particles identifiable, graduate student Yanqi Yu said.

“We wanted those particles to be in color, so we can track them,” Yanqi Yu said.

Yan Yu said she characterized her team’s approach as having a magnifying glass amplifying the different movements and interactions of the nanoparticle binding process.

“Normally, you would just see this one phenomenon, but actually if you zoom in, you would see there are many different subsets of stages in this normal particle binding process,” Yan Yu said.

The theory behind the movement of nanoparticles when bonded to a target cell is that the particle is effectively stuck during the process, Yanqi Yu said.

However, the research

team found a different occurrence.

Yan Yu said when the nanoparticle movements rock back and forth, the particle is in the first stage and attempting to bond to the artificial cell membrane.

The rocking movement is used to attract more molecules and strengthen the bond.

When the bond is at the required level, the nanoparticle takes on a more circling movement is next, Yan Yu said.

One of the more trendy types is particles coated with cell membranes taken from real cells so it is harder for the immune system to differentiate between foreign organisms and self.

“Normally, you would just see this one phenomenon, but actually if you zoom in, you would see there are many different subsets of stages in this normal particle binding process.”

Yan Yu, Corresponding author

“One of the emerging types of drug delivery particles is actually particles that have been coated with cell membranes from real cells,” Yan Yu said.

Yanqi Yu said it is important that as few particles are attacked by the body’s immune system as possible because the fewer particles transporting the drug, the lesser effect it will have overall.

“If you camouflage the particular particle with a cell membrane from the patient’s old body, the patient won’t recognize the particle as a pathogen,” Yanqi Yu said.

The research being conducted is about gaining more knowledge about nanoparticle binding, Yan Yu said.

However, later on, the findings may improve drug delivery methods and the efficiency of vaccines.

friends about what happened and spent the rest of the day in bed.

The pain was worse the next day, so Sweeney went to the IU Health Center, then to an orthopedist, who said he fractured his left wrist and elbow. He wore a brace and sling until right before Thanksgiving.

After the accident, typing was difficult, and it hurt to put on a shirt. The doctor told him not to lift more than one pound with his injured arm.

Sweeney used to prefer Lime scooters because they were faster, but now he thinks the Birds might be better.

“Maybe they’re slow for a reason,” he said.

to multiple bars while drinking together, until she began talking to Gregory Danielson, 22, at Brothers Bar and Grill, she told police.

Danielson and the woman knew each other, but she told officers they were not close friends. After the two began talking at Brothers, her memory begins to get hazy. The next thing she remembers is waking up in Danielson’s apartment the same night and feeling very sick.

The woman told police she remembers being naked in bed with Danielson, who was raping her. Her hands and feet were bound with duct tape.

She told police she tried to yell, but her mouth was taped over too.

Police said after Danielson was finished, he took off the tape and told her go to sleep. She laid in bed with him, pretending to sleep and closing her eyes until he was asleep. Kellams said she then grabbed only her blue sweatshirt and ran out the door, leaving her other belongings behind.

The woman told police she borrowed a stranger’s cell phone, using it to make a call to her friend around 4:45 a.m.

Police said her friends took her to the hospital that morning.

Danielson was contacted by police and came into the station for an interview, where he told officers he was kissing the woman at Brothers when he said he had to leave because work was early in the morning. The woman said she wanted to go back too, Danielson said, and he ordered an Uber to his apartment.

Once at the apartment, Danielson claims the woman threw up and showered.

Danielson told officers he fell asleep, and when he woke up, the woman was gone and they did not have sex.

Detectives searched Danielson’s apartment at 2786 South Walnut Street Pike after the interview and found rolls of duct tape by the bed and torn pieces in the trash can, Kellams said. Danielson told officers he had used the tape to tie women up in the past, but not with the victim.

However, police said Danielson began changing his story once presented with evidence, saying they had consensual sex, and she had agreed to be tied up.

Based on the evidence and his changing story, police arrested Danielson in his apartment. He is facing one charge of rape.

Five days before Sweeney’s crash, senior Annie Powers hit the ground and immediately knew something was wrong.

Her mouth was in pain, and her hands were covered in blood when she pulled them away from her face.

She and her boyfriend had been riding a Lime together when they clipped a curb and lost control. A police officer driving by stopped to call Powers an ambulance.

As the paramedics took her away from the crash site near Bloomington Bagel Company on Morton Street, she heard the diagnosis.

“22-year-old female,” an EMT said. “Lost both her front teeth.”

She started to cry.

At the hospital, she would learn her right tooth flew completely out of her mouth.

Her left one broke in half, leaving her nerves exposed, and she swallowed the bottom. She also bruised her thigh, scraped her face and bit a chunk out of her lip.

The fall happened in the early hours of Oct. 20, a Saturday, and Powers’ roommate was expecting his parents to visit. They didn’t go tailgate the IU vs. Pennsylvania State University football game like other parents. Instead, they focused on helping Powers find a dentist, who reinserted her right tooth and created a veneer for her left.

Powers is relieved to have teeth again, but she can’t drink anything hot or cold anymore. It’s too painful when it hits the nerves.

She loves peanut butter banana smoothies, though she doesn’t know when she’ll be able to enjoy one again.

similar.

On Wednesday, after IU got a rebound after a Butler miss, Moren frequently yelled, “Go! Go!” to junior guard Ali Patberg. She wants her team to play fast and push the tempo, especially against a team like Butler who plays zone defense. So, by pushing the ball it doesn’t allow the Bulldogs to get set.

“Every timeout I think coach was telling us to push the tempo and push the pace,” Patberg said.

Like Buss used to, Patberg obeyed orders and got the ball up the court fast. It resulted in 10 fast-break points.

Times when the ball wasn’t pushed were when IU would return to their constant reps

remembered knocking some teeth out when she was 8. She asked the EMT if new ones would grow back.

“No, honey,” the EMT said.

Powers cried harder. * * * After initially giving Bird and Lime freedom to operate how they wanted, the city announced an operational agreement Nov. 5, according to a press release.

Bloomington officials see e-scooter technology as a way to possibly fill gaps in available transportation options, but they also want companies to operate responsibly, city spokeswoman Yaël Ksander said.

Under the new rules, Bird and Lime agreed to each pay the city $10,000 annually plus another 10 cents per ride per scooter to help lessen the strain on Bloomington resources. They also must pay fines in some instances where riders use them improperly.

In separate emails to the Indiana Daily Student, Bird and Lime spokespeople said the companies are happy to work with cities and provide safety standards. They also encourage riders to wear helmets.

“Bird is committed to partnering with cities to ensure that the community, and its visitors, safely embrace our affordable, environmentally friendly transportation option,” the email from Bird said.

The Bird website in August also announced a Global Safety Advisory Board “to

improve the safety of those riding Birds and other escooters.” Lime has a similar program called Respect the Ride, through which users can pledge to ride responsibly. Despite these safety guidelines, many cities and universities aren’t thrilled with e-scooter companies because they don’t communicate before dropping in.

Around town, scooters have been found broken, submerged in the Jordan River and apparent set on fire.

They are sometimes parked in the middle of sidewalks, possibly affecting people who have vision or mobility disabilities or those who just aren’t looking where they’re going. * * * Most of Oct. 20 is nearly perfect in Ian McIntire’s memory. He and his friends hopped from tailgate to tailgate before the football game against Penn State, and he estimates he probably drank six beers over the course of about five hours.

He remembers choosing to take a scooter over an Uber home.

Then, he was asking a woman he didn’t know why he was in a room he didn’t recognize. It was Nov. 1, and the nurse told McIntire he was staying at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana for brain trauma after fracturing his skull.

What was lost to McIntire is captured by witnesses and the IU Police Department in an incident report.

The Bloomington Fire Department was treating the

in practice in how to break a zone defense — Patberg or sophomores Jaelynn Penn or Bendu Yeaney cut to the middle of the floor, drew attention and either dished it down low to the baseline or kicked it out to open shooters.

Moren and her staff emphasize watching film and a lot of sessions consist of watching opposing teams’ offense and preparing how to play them defensively. When IU began its win streak last season on Jan. 20, Moren said they’d started to watch a lot more film.

The film sessions have carried into this season and on Wednesday IU held Butler to just 29.5 percent shooting.

“The great thing about film is that it doesn’t lie,” Moren said. “That’s our best tool for everything.”

Moren has said all season that everything starts on the defensive end. Defense creates turnovers, and turnovers allow the team to get out and run fast. IU forced 18 Butler turnovers and scored 14 points off those turnovers.

When the team can’t force turnovers and push the ball, Patberg reverts to Moren who calls a half-court play.

The players bought in back in January and are still bought in to Moren’s system six months later. Even junior forward Brenna Wise said it’s just game-to-game after being asked about conference play in the coming month.

That formula — the attitude, the film-watching, the fast-tempo, the disciplined defense — has equaled a lot more wins than losses for IU. Earlier this week when the

20-year-old when IUPD officers were dispatched to Fee and Law lanes at 5:38 p.m.

McIntire was unconscious and bleeding from the head, with blood also coming from his right ear and nose, the report said. At some point, he had vomited.

Three witnesses told police they saw McIntire heading south on Fee Lane before he crashed a Bird scooter without a helmet on. They thought McIntire fell because he tried to do a trick on the scooter.

It’s unclear what role alcohol may have played in this crash. McIntire says he didn’t feel drunk, but officers smelled alcohol on McIntire’s breath and in his vomit.

His parents say he was conscious within a few hours of the accident, groaning and calling out for them.

Over the course of the following days, they watched their son go through the nausea, headaches and confusion that come with a brain injury.

After regaining his memory that day at rehab, McIntire began the process of putting his life back together.

When a friend’s mom brought him Arby’s in the rehab hospital, he was excited to eat the Beef ’n Cheddar sandwich with curly fries. He took a bite. The food tasted like nothing.

McIntire realized the brain injury had shaken his senses. On top of a muted sense of smell and taste, he saw double until Nov. 27, a month and a week after the fall.

In his right ear, where police reported blood, Mc-

Intire’s vestibular bone was broken. He could hear almost nothing out of the ear, and his balance was thrown off. Now, he’ll go into his front yard and practice his golf swing to assess and adjust his balance.

Although McIntire said he’s already progressed much faster than they were expecting, the doctors aren’t sure how long the damage will last. He’s glad to be alive, but recovery feels frustrating.

McIntire spends lots of his time taking care of Ellie and Frankie, his pugs, and Butters, a mutt. It’s something that makes him feel useful while confined to his parents’ house.

Months ago he thought he’d be studying for final exams right now, but instead McIntire is taking basic cognition tests. With a medical withdraw for the semester, none of McIntire’s classes will count. He plans to take 10 credits in the spring at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis.

McIntire knows it’s unlikely, but he hopes to graduate from Bloomington on time with an informatics degree.

On social media, he watches his IU friends be college students. Some of them have come to visit him, but McIntire would rather join them on campus.

He thinks they still ride the scooters.

The Carmona family tries to settle on a television show in their living room in Bloomington. More than two years after fleeing violence in Venezuela, they await a decision over whether they will be granted asylum in the United States.

Respite from chaos The Carmona family fled Venezuela in 2016. They don’t know if their request for asylum will be granted, but they still have to start a new life in Bloomington.

By Naomi Farahan nafaraha@iu.edu

Paola Carmona kneels, elbows resting on the pew in front of her at St. Charles Borromeo Church. She presses her forehead to her knuckles, praying for her home country, Venezuela.

Emiliana, 7, who refers to herself as Emi, tugs on her mom’s shawl. Paola usually tsks at the nickname — shortened names are so American — but she slips and uses it to get her daughter’s attention and tell her to focus.

Emi leans toward Paola the entire service, copying each of her small movements. She and her sister, Sara Sofia, 11, pick the lint off of their mom’s leggings, mimicking the way she flicks it onto the ground.

As the priest gives the weekly reading, Paola follows in her personal Spanish prayer book, her finger pointing to each word so that Emi can follow along.

Each family member offers God a personal prayer. Paola prays for her family, for her mom who is sick in Venezuela. For the country she loves deeply, still, even after she had to flee its violence.

Paola, 40, her husband Gustavo, 43, and their daughters have lived in the United States as asylum seekers for two years and four months.

She prays that no matter what happens with their asylum case, the result is the best scenario for her family. She prays to accept God’s will.

“I pray for health,” Gustavo said. “I pray for people suffering.”

“I pray for people who are lost, who are lost from the path of God,” Sara Sofia said. “I pray for peace of the world.” * * * Many families like the Carmonas are waiting to be granted asylum. But the Carmonas, Paola said, are lucky. They have medical insurance in case of emergency, and they have been legally permitted to work. She said she thinks the U.S. government has been more relaxed with Venezuelan asylum seekers than with refugees from other countries.

But the Carmona family is still waiting for their interview with an immigration officer, which they

believe will take place in 2019.

Only then will they be considered for asylum.

Amid a grave humanitarian and financial crisis, Venezuelans are fleeing en masse. Millions of people now seek new countries to call home.

From April 2017 to March 2018, the U.S. received 28,919 asylum applications from Venezuelans, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. No other group of people requested even half that many applications for asylum in the U.S. Many Venezuelan asylum seekers believe they will be granted asylum because of the U.S. government’s open disdain for the Venezuelan government and its leaders. President Trump has publicly condemned Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on multiple occasions.

arrival. But this mode of seeking asylum is increasingly difficult — 240,000 Venezuelans received tourist visas in 2015, according to the Pew Research Center. By 2017, that number decreased to 57,000.

U.S. officials can detain Venezuelans with tourist visas if they believe they plan to remain in the U.S. long-term. Paola said she knows people whose legal visas were revoked upon arrival.

As immigration policies harden, and fewer asylum cases are granted, the Carmona family waits in limbo to be considered for asylum. They are prepared for whatever future God, and the U.S. government, will choose.

In the meantime, they build a life for themselves in Bloomington. And they pray. * * *

“I pray for health.

I pray for people suffering.

I pray for people who are lost, who are lost from the path of God.

I pray for peace of the world.”

Sara Sofia Carmona, Venezulean asylum seeker Historically, the U.S. looked favorably upon refugees from countries that provoked its political animus. For example, when tensions remained between the U.S. and Cuba after the Cold War, Cubans had an easier time entering and staying in the U.S. compared to immigrants from other countries, according to the Migration Policy Institute.

But the Venezuelan asylum seekers who believe the U.S. will grant them asylum because of political strife between the countries’ governments are likely wrong. Immigration officials have recently become stricter with Venezuelans arriving in the U.S, according to the Pew Research Center.

Like the Carmona family, many of the Venezuelans who come to the U.S. arrive with legal tourist visas and request asylum after their

The Carmona family used to feel safe in their neighborhood in San Cristóbal, Venezuela. They lived in a beautiful home near the top of a hill.

Emi and Sara Sofia played in the park just behind their house, and Paola never worried, because everyone knew each other in the neighborhood. There was a basketball court and a playground.

The trees, dripping with mangoes and clementines, were so lush they sometimes blocked the sun.

Gustavo was an industrial engineer with his own firm in Venezuela. He was friends with the mayor of their city, who was a vocal opponent of leftist President Maduro and his agenda.

Gustavo organized protests against the government, building a reputation in the neighborhood for resistance against corruption.

Paola, who worked within the government as a labor rights attorney, kept her opinions to herself.

“I shut up,” Paola said. “I never said a thing.”

Her silence did not stop militant pro-government gangs from targeting her and her daughters.

The gangs, colectivos, play a crucial role in reiterating and enforcing the government’s policies.

They are civilians armed by the government to control and intimidate the Venezuelan people.

In an attempt to repress speech, they threaten the families of people who speak publicly against the government.

In 2014, gang members circled the Carmona family’s home. They rode around and around on motorcycles, shouting and throwing rocks. They said if Gustavo protested the government again, they would set fire to the family’s cars.

Paola hid her daughters under a table until the men left.

They escaped that day, but gang members on motorcycles still followed them when they walked around town.

The following year, as Paola waited in the car for Sara Sofia and Emi to complete their after-school lessons, a man on a motorcycle rapped his knuckles on her window.

She watched the gang member lift the hem of his shirt to show the gun on his belt. Without a single word, he released his shirt and rode away.

In 2016, gang members broke into the family’s home in the middle of the night. Two men scaled the wall behind the family’s house, a wall Gustavo had just built for protection.

It was raining. They strode past Paola’s herb garden, past the aloe vera plant that Sara Sofia swears was ten times larger than the one in their living room in Bloomington.

A masked man broke a window, and it shattered everywhere.

“He had a blue shirt,” Paola said. “I will never get the blue shirt out of my mind.”

The family’s dogs — Sinu and Lola — barked loudly, blocking the gang members from entering the room Paola was in. The dogs never let them pass, and they eventually gave up and left.

No one was hurt, but the family was shaken.

Gustavo Carmona washes his hands after grating a bowl of yuca, which he and his wife Paola mix with cheese and Maizena, corn starch. In Venezuela, Gustavo worked as an industrial engineer, and Paola as a labor rights attorney.

“It’s very complicated when a rich country becomes poor,” Paola said.

In Venezuela, it is nearly impossible to go to a doctor, or even just to buy medicine.

There are shortages of everyday necessities and food staples like sugar and flour. Prices double roughly every 26 days, according to the BBC. The country is rich in petroleum, its main export to foreign countries, but oil prices fell sharply in 2014 and Venezuela was short on cash. The government is quick to print more bills, fueling dizzying hyperinflation.

Crime rates are staggering, and nearly 87 percent of the population lives in poverty, according to Reuters.

Many Venezuelans blame the leftist government. They claim its leaders are politically corrupt and economically irresponsible.

After the incident in their home in 2016, the Carmona family booked tickets to Indiana, where they already had family.

They fled Venezuela quickly, on a tourist visa, without telling anyone their plan to request asylum.

People would not have suspected anything out of the ordinary because the family used to vacation in the U.S. regularly.

Their home remains just as they left it — cars parked, beds made. Sinu and Lola wait inside for their owners. For now, they have family to check in on them.

A passerby might wonder when the people who live inside will return from vacation. * * *

Gustavo has had a few different jobs in Bloomington. He wanted to work in engineering, but resorted to other jobs to make ends meet. At different points, he painted houses, worked for restaurants and did construction at a golf course close to his house.

The physical labor is hard on him because he isn’t used to it.

Paola cleans houses and finds new work by word-of-mouth. Most of her clients are immigrants.

Her family live in a 3-bedroom house decorated with seasonal knick-knacks and inspirational signs. One reads: “What I love most about my home is who I share it with.”

The girls speak perfect English by now, shimmying easily between Spanish and their second language. Gustavo and Paola have taken evening language classes but look to their daughters for quick pronunciation and translation support.

It took time to learn and adjust. When they first moved, Sara Sofia only knew a few English words from listening to American artists like Katy Perry on the radio in Venezuela.

When Emi first started school, her classmates trapped her on the playground. They stuck her hands and feet in a net intended for climbing, and she came home with rope marks on her arms.

Everyone apologized, including the principal, one of the classmates and her parents. Emi even eventually became friends with one of them.

She said it is difficult for kids when they have to move. She didn’t get to bring any of her toys, even though she wanted to.

She and Sara Sofia also bemoan the lack of Venezuelan sweets in Bloomington. In their old kitchen, they would steal scoops of a special Venezuelan powdered milk when their mom wasn’t looking.

“We all had hard stuff,” Emi said.

Some things are harder than others. Emi is still afraid of men who ride motorcycles.

The girls try to shield themselves when they hear the roar of an approaching bike.

But things are getting better, even if the girls’ friends don’t exactly understand what they are going through. Sara Sofia loves living in Bloomington.

“I am incredibly proud of where I was born,” Sara Sofia said. “But I want to make my life here.”

She understands she might not be allowed to stay.

To request asylum in the United States, asylum seekers have to be physically pres-

ent in the country upon applying. They also have to be refugees who fled their countries and cannot return because of a well-founded fear of persecution.

That fear of persecution is based on race, religion, ethnicity, political opinion or membership in a social group.

There is currently debate among immigration experts on how to use those criteria to grant asylum. Paola said the U.S. is getting persistently stricter about who can and cannot stay.

Venezuelans are different from many other people who immigrate to the U.S., Paola said. Those who are here could afford to make the journey in a legal way. Many of them are educated and highly skilled.

Unlike many people who make their way to the U.S., Venezuelans are not here to pursue the American Dream, Paola said. The Carmona family is not here to get rich, or even to send money back home.

“We just need a respite from the chaos that lives in our country,” Paola and Gustavo said in an email.

They also want to maintain a good quality of life for their children.

But it is difficult. They are not here to enjoy a vacation, like they did in years past.

They have to learn a new language, adapt to a new lifestyle and find new work.

“Our immigration has been forced in all aspects,” they said. * * * Gustavo now has a job at Viva Mas, a new Mexican restaurant in Bloomington.

The building’s interior is a work of art, each wall hand-painted with vivid colors by a Mexican artist.

It’s the day before the official opening, and everyone in the restaurant is friends or family. Gustavo wears a black uniform and a red-and-black striped tie. Paola, Sara Sofia and Emi sit in a booth, stealing bites of chimichangas and tres leches from each other’s plates.

Paola said people have been so welcoming to them here. Last year, when she didn’t have a car, clients would offer to drive her to her next appointment so she wouldn’t have to walk in the snow. So many Bloomington locals offer personal, medical and financial support.

The Carmona family is more likely to be granted asylum than most because they did come legally. Paola recognizes this privilege.

“It is so sad,” Paola says. “All people deserve the same opportunities.”

She wants to help others like her. A local volunteer is helping her prepare to seek admission at the IU Maurer School of Law to hopefully become an immigration attorney.

Paola is grateful — she said she sometimes can’t believe how kind everyone here has been. But she misses her house in Venezuela, and she misses her parents. It is painful to be far away from her family, especially during the Christmas season. She prays to be able to return to Venezuela someday.

Until then, the Carmona family hopes to be granted asylum. But if not, that’s OK too. They can seek safety elsewhere.

“If the U.S. decides we can’t be here, it would be fine,” Paola said. “The planet is big enough.”

Paola said it is important to obey a country’s laws. They are here legally and would never attempt to overstay their welcome.

But she also thinks the U.S. should want to welcome those who need safe harbor, as long as the country has the space and money to offer support.

The U.S. does not owe it to people to grant them asylum, Paola said. It’s not about owing one another. But, if possible, asylum seekers should be welcomed out of love, not out of duty.

“It has to come from the… corazón?”

Paola looks to Sara Sofia for the translation.

“The heart,” Sara Sofia offers.

“Ah, yes,” Paola agrees. “It comes from the heart.”

How to make sure finals week is not your final week Six columnists weigh in on how to prepare for finals

Emily Shaffer is a senior in law and public policy.

Elsbeth Sanders is a sophomore in molecular life sciences.

Anne Anderson is a senior in international law.

Alvaro Michael is a senior in computer science.

Ezra Engels is a sophomore in digital art.

Emma Getz is a junior in English and history.

I like to prepare the week before finals by making a study schedule so I stay on track. I don’t just write down the times and dates I plan on studying, but I also include where I plan to go to study.

One of my favorite places to study is in the East tower of the Herman B Wells Library.

I can always count on the fourth floor of the West Tower being quiet and having an abundance of open desks. When I visit the East tower, I like to bring takeout from my favorite restaurant, Little Tibet. The dumplings at Little Tibet make an excellent comfort food and are always a great way to "treat yo self" before beginning hours of grueling studying.

After picking the right desk, preferably one by an outlet, it’s time to set up camp. I plug in my laptop, put on my glasses, pull out my favorite bright-colored pens and get to work. The first thing I do is make a to-do list, color coded by class, of course. I find it’s best to get the little things out of the way first so that I can focus more on the larger tasks when I get to them. After I’ve finished making my list, I put on a Spotify instrumental playlist, and I pray for the best.

When it’s getting down to the wire and I have to do some intense studying, I have a set strategy that I follow.

I cannot get any serious work done anywhere near my dorm. My tried and true study plan is that I pack up everything I might conceivably need to study over a period of several hours — textbooks, laptop, chargers, notebooks, etc. — and I go someplace that’s far enough away from where I live that I won’t want to make the long walk back until I’ve completed what I had planned for the day.

I’m particularly fond of the Starbucks on Kirkwood. If I can snag a table, it’s the perfect place to sit and pour over my textbooks for hours.

The tables are big enough to spread out study material, the chairs are fairly comfortable and there coffee, snacks and plenty of outlets.

There’s also the perfect amount of background noise to ensure that no one conversation can disturb me over the sound of everyone else. It’s far enough away that I won’t walk back to my dorm on a whim, but it’s close enough that if I walk back at night, I’ll be safe.

One thing that came as quite the rude awakening in college was realizing that being smart is not enough.

In high school I got lucky, passing tests without studying, having good notes without strong effort and completing assignments easily. Then came college.

Being at college forced me to teach myself how to actually study the material I was being taught — not just shelving information away and hoping it came back in time for the test. One of the hardest things about studying is that everyone is different and retains information best in different ways.

The first tip to successful studying is your environment. It is crucial to be in a beneficial environment to do your best work.

For me, I find that I actually can focus more when in a group of other people also studying. However, it could be that solitude is the route for you. Making sure I’m in a comfy place — my favorite spot is Luddy Hall — with limited access to distractions. That means headphones on, phone more than arm’s reach away and snacks on deck.

There’s no perfect study prescription for everyone, but remember — drink water, stretch your legs and stay off your phone.

I really enjoy studying at the Pourhouse Cafe on Kirkwood. There’s a lot of space to work there, and the music is pretty relaxed.

Plenty of sunlight comes in through the windows during the day, which is ideal for me.

They have a lot of wall outlets and tables, both big and small.

To study, I review all the material in a section and use the textbook, the internet and email to answer any doubts I have about my notes. When I feel ready, I put everything to one side, take out a blank sheet of paper and write down as much as I can remember from my review. That way I am actively trying to recall the information.

Then I compare my writing from memory with my actual notes, correct myself and repeat. I do this for each section.

If the material involves math or proof concepts, as it often does in computer science classes, I do a lot of practice problems from the book.

Math is an active process. Just re-reading the book isn’t enough for me.

You have to do it again and again if you want to remember it.

I do what is conventionally considered the worst way to study, which is lying in my bed and looking through material on my laptop.

I’m pretty good at cramming, somehow, and I do it for most exams.

I’ve also never pulled an all-nighter. I sometimes take notes, but I rarely read over them unless I have to. I’ll typically just read through slides or whatever is on Canvas.

I’ve always found that just relaxing in bed works out for me just fine, and going to Herman B Wells Library or the Collins coffeehouse doesn’t cause a noticeable improvement.

As long as I get my work done, it’s all good.

To any skeptics, my methods have proven successful since high school. Also, I’m a Digital Art BFA major, so I maybe have onlu one or two major tests a semester.

The most I leave my room for schoolwork is to go to the studio, or maybe to scout for photos and videos. I do most of my digital work in the comfort of my own home. Ultimately, I’d rather use my "leaving the home" energy for things that make me happier than gen-ed work.

As an English major, I don't do a lot of traditional studying. The last two weeks of semester usually require writing essays and completing final drafts of a short story or play.

To be honest, writing is exhausting. It takes a lot of motivation to write for two hours. I'm a big fan of the coffee shops in Bloomington — my favorite is Hopscotch Coffee — as they are friendly environments for working for a long period of time. The coffee is good, too.

Every writer has specific things they like in their writing environment.

Some people can't write while listening to music — personally, I like to listen to Irish jigs and 20th century Russian symphonies for inspiration. I even make personalized playlists for my different fiction works in progress with songs to match the tone or the characters.

The most important element, though, is getting rid of distractions. I'm prone to absent-mindedly opening Twitter and scrolling through when I should be working. It's hard work, but each passing semester reassures me that my education is guiding me in the right direction.

MATT-ER OF FACT

Dear IU instructors, please save finals for finals week, not for dead week Matthew Waterman is a senior in jazz studies and theater.

I’ve noticed a common trend during dead week. Instructors decide to do everyone a “favor” by making the class’s final project due earlier than finals, or in some cases even having the final exam before finals week.

The logic presented by some instructors is that, since finals week is presumably the most stressful time of year, students’ lives will be easier if they get finals out

of the way early on. Completing all the work for their class will conveniently allow students to focus on other classes.

It has never worked out this way for me. While I understand many IU students tend to have a different experience, finals week is often the most relaxed week of the semester for me.

Classes do not meet during finals week. It works that way for a reason. That way, we have plenty of time to ourselves during finals week, which we can use to study

for final exams and work on final papers and projects.

When final due dates get moved to dead week, or even the week before dead week, all the stress piles up during weeks when we actually do have classes. Then, finals week becomes a week of lounging around, with many students just waiting to have their last final before skipping town.

The past couple semesters, my roommates have used finals week to watch the entire “Harry Potter” and “Lord of the Rings” film franchises. I

think that illustrates the relative ease of finals week.

It’s obvious why some instructors want to make final projects due earlier.

That gives them more time to grade. It can be difficult, of course, for some instructors to get grades finished by their deadlines if final assignments are turned in at the last minute.

That’s why it is acceptable for a final project to be due before finals week if there is also a final exam for the class, conducted at its scheduled time. But even

MATT-ER OF FACT

The general consensus right now is that the United States economy is strong. It has been raised every year for the past decade. One would therefore expect U.S. life expectancy to follow an upward trend as well, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently revealed that for the second time in three years, life expectancy fell to 78.6 in 2017 compared to 78.7 in 2016.

The number of deaths in the country in 2017 was approximately 2.8 million and “was the most deaths in a single year since the government began counting more than a century ago,” according to the Associated Press.

At first glance, it could be argued that maybe this is just a result of an increasing population — the more people alive, the more people die. However, if we were to break down the numbers, the picture would become more nuanced and concerning.

The decrease in life expectancy was primarily driven by rises in suicide and drug overdose rates.

Overdose deaths increased by 9.6 percent from the pre-

vious year and suicide rates by 3.7 percent.

The contrast between 2017 rates and 1999 rates is even more cause for alarm.

The suicide rate in 1999 was 10.5 per every 100,000 deaths, while today it has risen to 14.5, the highest rate in 50 years. Similarly in 2017, the drug overdose death rate was 21.7 per 100,000 deaths, while in 1999 that number was only 6.1.

There are two big reasons why life expectancy fell. First, the steady decline in deaths from heart disease has normally been enough to offset increases in deaths from other causes — recently, however, that rate has stopped falling.

And second, drug overdoses and suicides in 2017 most affected the age range of 25 to 44 years of age.

Deaths in this range influence life expectancy numbers more significantly.

In other words, as the CDC director Robert Redfield said in a statement, “We are losing too many Americans, too early and too often, to conditions that are preventable.”

It’s worth noting that of the 47,600 deaths from opioids, 28,500 were from synthetic opioids, mainly fentanyl. That is a 45 percent

increase from the previous year.

Although the U.S. began receiving $1 billion in 2017 to fight the opioid crisis, they should have received funds as early as 2015 when substance abuse problems began growing. At the very least, now that President Trump has declared the situation a national emergency, we may finally address the problem properly.

One way to do that, as Michael Botticelli of the Grayken Center for Addiction at Boston Medical Center points out, is to expand access to naloxone, which reverses opioid overdoses. It would be appropriate and fair if health insurers were required to cover this drug.

Also, as pointed out in an earlier IDS editorial, funding should go into finding alternative solutions to pain relief that don’t involve opioids. For example, scientists are investigating the pain nerve cells to see if there is a way to turn them off directly.

It is difficult for researchers to tell why suicide rates have risen, but some suggest that Americans feel increasingly hopeless about the future.

The Associated Press’s VoteCast survey, which was

One good rule of thumb is that if you, as an instructor, are terrified by the prospect of having to grade all your final exams and projects by the deadline, your students are probably equally stressed about taking those exams and doing those projects.

Let’s make finals week the least horrible experience it can be for all of us. Instructors, allow your students to take advantage of this time when classes do not meet. matwater@iu.edu

HOT TAKES

Why the US life expectancy dropped once again Alvaro Michael is a senior in computer science.

in those cases, if the exam is later in the week, it can be nice to have the project due earlier in the week, or vice versa. Something being due Tuesday of finals week is much less stressful than it being due Tuesday the week before.

And those instructors who do have both in-depth final exams and major final projects for their classes should make sure both are necessary. If students are to produce their best possible work, overloading them is not going to help.

conducted during the midterm election, found that “about half of voters nationwide said they expect life in America for the next generation to be worse off than it is today.”

The widening income gap, increases in racial discrimination, gun violence and a range of other ubiquitous issues are probably contributing to this perception.

But proven methods of suicide prevention have been identified, so we know ways to fix the problem. The barrier is that the efforts have been scaled up to a national level, and therefore both the federal and state governments need to put funds into making that possible.

The U.S. touts itself as the richest country in the world. In order for the country’s wealth to matter, though, that prosperity must reach the citizens. We cannot have a nation where the people die young.

Fortunately, indexes such as life expectancy help us determine what problems we need to address. Let us act on that data so that we can ensure prosperity and happiness for all. alvmicha@iu.edu

“I Love Snacks” is a collection of drawings imposed on the flat surfaces of ceramic works by senior Milly Cai. The work is on display in the Grunwald Gallery.

BFA Thesis Show captures memory, emotion

By Clark Gudas ckgudas@iu.edu | @This_isnt_clark

Until Dec. 7, visitors of the Grunwald Gallery can see most of the art by graduating students in the School of Art, Architecture + Design. One piece, senior Eric Suh’s “A Ghost Memory,” asks visitors to do more than that.

“A Ghost Memory” is an interactive HTML5 installation. Patrons click through interactive images and GIFs projected on a wall. Some "memories" are oscillating abstract shapes, and others are skyscrapers contrasting an impressionist haze of nighttime sky. Suh said those

who delve into his work should consider it a meeting with his alter ego.

“I cherish everyday moments, elevating what could be ordinary things,” Suh said.

“People and cars just passing by the street. I explore the idea of this universal memory, a memory that belongs to no particular person. That is what I call a ‘ghost memory.’”

Suh’s work is filled with these ghost memories — one GIF shows Suh wearing Mickey Mouse ears, holding a dog and spinning in a chair.

Another shows a view out of a window on a quick drive by the Arboretum.

His work started with the

technology used to create it — the GIF. “I got interested in this concept of GIFs because they had the characteristic of looping forever,” Suh said.

“I wanted to connect that to my memories. Some memories are stuck in my head and looping forever and ever.”

About a year ago, Suh started to collect footage for the installation. He said whenever something gave him a feeling of emptiness, he would take his phone out and film it. Some of these moments are in Korea, some are in Columbus, Indiana, and some are on campus.

“One thing that really in-

terested me in this HTML5 format is the characteristic of how these web pages can be infinite,” Suh said.

Suh said he had to reduce the quality of the enormous GIF files to fit them into the project, which led to interesting effects.

“That reduced quality gave it some kind of new texture because memories aren’t that vivid,” Suh said.

“I’m not necessarily unhappy with it.”

Other artists, such as senior Milly Cai, are interested in combining different forms of art with a sense of function and practicality.

Her exhibit “I Love

Snacks” is a collection of drawings imposed on the flat surfaces of ceramic works.

“What I’m interested in in my artistic production is challenging the notions of ceramics and functional pottery,” Cai said. “I need to make it in a way that is special to the clay surface, that takes the materiality into mind.”

The illustrations on the clay pieces employ casual lines and bright colors, all light and lively, personable and casual. Cai said her visual language is the result of her childhood spent with TV shows and books — the pieces have exasperated ex-

pressions, dramatic plot lines and illustration.

She said her work is inspired by Chinese Tang dynasty vessels as well as contemporary artists, such as Yoshitomo Nara and Shoko Teruyama.

Cai said shows like the BFA Thesis Show humanize art and artists for students and community members.

“Freshmen or sophomores who don’t know about the fine arts program, they see this show, and think, ‘Oh, people my age are producing this work, I’m interested in producing this work as well,’” Cai said. “It allows for one less degree of separation.”

Ninety-six years ago, on Dec. 11, 1922, the BuskirkChumley Theater, then the Indiana Theater, opened its doors to the public.

Back then, it was a new silent movie house, and the first film played on the big screen was “The Storm.” In honor of the theater turning 96, there will be a birthday party at 11 a.m. Dec. 11.

The event will last until 2

p.m., and there will be cake, popcorn, a photo booth, giveaways and other activities.

The Dancing Dogbone, the theater’s mascot, may also be present for photos.

In addition to the event, the Buskirk-Chumley is searching for old photos of the theater — both interior and exterior — to add to their archives. The photos can be scanned during the event or dropped off at the theater.

The event is free for the public.

Swiss-American filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe will be visiting the IU Cinema this week to be present for two showings of his recent documentaries, a screening of a cult horror classic and give a lecture.

Philippe has directed multiple award-winning films and graduated with a master’s degree in dramatic writing from NYU and is the creative director for Exhibit A Pictures, a film production company. His documentaries break down filmmakers’ most famous scenes in film and discuss those scenes in detail.

Philippe directed a documentary titled “78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene,” from the 1960 film “Psycho.”

Philippe’s documentary will be shown at 7 p.m. Thursday at the IU Cinema, and tickets will cost $4. The film breaks down the famous shower scene that took an entire week to shoot. The shower scene involved 78 different camera set-ups and 52 different shots, and

Philippe’s documentary dissects the scene down to the smallest details.

The IU Cinema will also screen another documentary of Philippe’s called “Doc of the Dead,” which unravels the history of zombie culture in films. It will be shown at 10 p.m. Friday at the IU Cinema, and tickets are $4 for attendees.

A film that Philippe will be present for is the screening of the 1973 classic “The Exorcist” at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the cinema. Tickets will be $4 for this film as well.

Philippe is in the process of directing a documentary about this famous horror film and its director William Friedkin.

At 7 p.m. Friday at the cinema, Philippe will be present to give a lecture in a “Masterclass” style about Alfred Hitchcock.

THE GOOD BOOK

Lucia Berlin’s ‘Evening in Paradise’ evokes the sublime in domesticity Clark Gudas is a senior in English.

From 1960 to her death in 2004, Lucia Berlin wrote more than 70 short stories, published them in journals and magazines but never received critical renown.

Publisher Farrar, Straus Giroux released her first posthumous collection, “A Manual for Cleaning Women,” in 2015, 11 years after Berlin died from cancer.

Twenty-two of her stories come together in her second posthumous collection “Evening in Paradise,” published Nov. 6.

“Evening in Paradise” explores people dealing with abusive and unsustainable relationships.

Berlin writes from a broad range of distant, lonely locales, such as Chile, Mexico and remote Texas.

“The Musical Vanity Boxes” is the sweet story of two young girls helping make money for another kid’s gambling ring.

What appears to be an innocent, childish foray into capitalism becomes grim as the reader understands

the reality of the girls’ situation and the situation of the people who partake in their gambling games.

Berlin’s collection is peppered with the sublime of the southwest states. Settings evoke loneliness in the face of desolate landscapes — the harsh drylands outside Albuquerque, New Mexico — but the characters also struggle with horrible situations in which they have no control.

“The Adobe House with a Tin Roof” is the story of a 19-year-old wife living in a rented house with her selfobsessed musician husband.

She faces problems getting a plumber to install piping, getting her husband to help with an annoying neighbor and getting mice to stop plaguing her house.

All of the story’s men mock her and leave their problems for her to solve in a lonely, suffocating tale of strangled domesticity.

Two especially striking stories were “Andado: A Gothic Romance” and “Lead Street, Albuquerque.”

“Lead Street” opens with

Rex, an abusive husband, criticizing the narrator’s husband’s work of art at an exhibit opening party.

“There was a keg of beer and everybody was pretty high. I wanted to say something to Rex about that crack. He was so blasted arrogant and cruel. And I wanted to kill Bernie for just smirking. But I just stood there, letting Rex stroke my behind while he insulted my husband.”

The prose, narrated by the abused wife’s friend, portrays every character with fear and hesitation to exert agency over anything.

Rex’s wife is even portrayed with fear when Rex dumps casserole in her lap and tells her how to sleep — on her stomach, because her nose was an imperfection.

“Andado: A Gothic Romance” is unnerving in it’s matter-of-fact portrayal of child predation.

A 14-year-old American girl in Chile enjoys a bougie trip to a rich Chilean businessman’s estate. Their language is charged with uncomfortable sexual energy

as they ride horses and read novels by the fireplace.

At one point, the narrator points out the language the girl used to describe a visit she once took into a mineshaft.

“The smell of the mines.

Dank, dark. How it felt to go into the earth itself. The shock when she saw her first open-pit mine at Rancagua, the Anaconda copper pit.

The vast gash of it, the rape of it.”

The story is a haunting tale that shows how tragedies quite simply happen — no heavy-handed intentions on the abuser’s part until the culminating moment.

If there’s anywhere these stories falter, it’s in their constant description of minute character details and thought explanation.

The reader doesn’t need to know when and where every character sits down to smoke their cigarette — these types of sentences bog down some moments.

Though Berlin may not have lived to see her work published in volumes, “Evening in Paradise” rings with

Hoosiers prepare for College Cup

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

Senior midfielder Trevor Swartz couldn’t help but crack a smile and give off a slight laugh when asked about the pressure of the College Cup. The fifth-year senior has been in this position before.

Exactly one year ago to be exact.

As the No. 2-seeded Hoosiers are the highest ranked team remaining, there’s an aura of calmness and relaxation around the team.

This is the Hoosiers' second straight trip to the College Cup and their 20th overall in program history.

IU punched it’s ticket to Santa Barbara, California, by defeating Connecticut, Air Force and No. 7-seeded Notre Dame with a combined score of 7-0. It’s been nothing short of a dominant postseason run for the Hoosiers.

“I think when you go into a College Cup, no matter what seed you are, every team there is good,” Swartz said. “We’re just playing for a spot in the final right now, so there’s no added pressure. You’ve just got to go out there and perform.”

Due to the Hoosiers holding the record for most College Cup appearances, the team has joked around with the title of the national semifinals basically becoming the “Indiana Invitational."

This year's participants in the "Indiana Invitational" are three opponents IU is very familiar with, including a pair of Big Ten foes.

The opposite side of the bracket features the University of Akron and Michigan State, two teams that weren’t given a top-16 seed heading into the tournament, but both pulled off major upsets to get to this point.

This College Cup will be the first time in four seasons that Stanford won’t be participating in after winning three straight National Championships. Stanford lost in the quarterfinals to Akron 3-0. The Zips have won eight straight games with their last loss coming on Oct. 20 against Northern Illinois.

Akron started the season ranked No. 4 in the country before hitting a rough patch in the middle of the season.

IU and Akron played to a 1-1 draw in an exhibition game in August. The last time the College Cup was in Santa Barbara was in 2010, where

Soccer gets new head coach

ALEXIS OSER | IDS

Head coach Todd Yeagley congratulates his players on winning the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament on Nov. 30 at Armstrong Stadium.

The Hoosiers will move on to the next round of the tournament following a 1-0 win against Notre Dame.

Akron won the National Championship.

Michigan State clinched it’s first College Cup berth since 1968 after defeating the University of IllinoisChicago, No. 13-seeded Georgetown, No. 4-seeded Louisville and James Madison.

In the regular season finale when IU defeated MSU in overtime, 1-0, keeper Jimmy Hague registered six saves and was the main reason why MSU remained in the game for so long. Hague has 15 saves in the NCAA Tournament and will be a major factor in the matchup against Akron.

Once that game wraps up, IU will take on No. 11-seeded Maryland for the third time this season for a spot in the National Championship.

IU won both matches against Maryland this season, but each of the games came down to the wire. On Oct. 12, a goal with 18 seconds remaining from senior defender Andrew Gutman gave IU the 2-1 victory. Then in the Big Ten Tournament Semifinals, IU moved on with a 4-3 advantage in penalty kicks.

After defeating North Carolina State, Maryland had a tough challenge to get to this point. The Terrapins went on the road and knocked off both No. 10-seeded Duke and No. 3-seeded Kentucky to make it to the College Cup. Ken-

tucky gave IU it’s last loss of the season, 3-0, back on Oct. 3.

The only goal Maryland has allowed in postseason play was the one that Gutman scored in the Big Ten Tournament Semifinals.

Despite each team being familiar with each other, IU doesn’t see it as a disadvantage but just looks forward to the matchup ahead.

“When we looked at the bracket, we thought potentially they could make it, but when you’re in the College

Cup, you’re going to have a hard game in the semifinal no matter what,” Swartz said. “Playing a team for the third time, that’s just another challenge in our way and have to get through it.”

With the way that the Hoosiers have performed leading up to this point, it’d be difficult not to call them the favorites, but they don’t mind it.

For IU Coach Todd Yeagley, this trip to the College Cup feels different despite it being the third time

he’s brought the Hoosiers to this point. He hasn’t put much thought into it, but he’s familiar with the feeling.

His team is playing their best soccer of the season and are more than ready to capture their ninth star.

“We’re locked in as much as we’ve ever been,” Yeagley said. “That’s what you want, you want the team to find another gear in every phase of their game. I think we’re in that mode right now where everyone is locked in."

Erwin van Bennekom was named head coach of the IU women’s soccer program Tuesday afternoon.

The news comes less than one month after IU announced Amy Berbary would not be back next year to coach her seventh sea- Erwin van son in Bloom- Bennekom ington.

“Erwin quickly rose to the top of an outstanding pool of candidates, and it was encouraging and exciting to have such interest in this position,” IU Athletic Director Fred Glass said in an IU release. “Erwin has demonstrated at the highest levels of intercollegiate and international soccer an ability to develop young women into strong leaders academically, athletically and personally.”

Van Bennekom, who is from the Netherlands, arrives at IU after spending four seasons with Duke University's women's soccer program as an associate head coach.

Duke advanced to the NCAA Women's College Cup twice while he was a coach there, including an appearance in the 2015 National Championship game.

He spent one season as an assistant coach at the University of Alabama prior to his time at Duke and also was an assistant coach for Sky Blue FC of the National Women's Soccer League.

Van Bennekom's coaching career in college soccer first started with a threeseason spell as an assistant coach at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

“This is a tremendous honor," van Bennekom said in the release. "IU is a destination job. I am very excited to get to work and be a part of the Hoosier family. I’m going to make the most of this tremendous opportunity, and make IU and the state of Indiana very proud of the product that we put out on field.”

IU has not reached the NCAA Tournament since the 2013 season.

Miller lands in-state recruits

By Ben Portnoy bmportno@iu.edu | @bportnoy15

Five-star Center Grove High School power forward Trayce Jackson-Davis announced his college decision on Twitter last Friday.

The short clip pinned to the top of his personal page depicted a digital version of the 6-foot-8-inch, Indianapolis native with his arms raised toward a cutout of the midcourt design that resides in the center of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

Donning a crimson No. 23 jersey in the video, Jackson Davis wrote in all capital letters “I AM COMMITTED.” Archie Miller snagged another one.

“Coach Miller and Coach Ostrom did a great job recruiting me," Jackson-Davis said in an interview with the Indiana Daily Student on Saturday.

"They were first to everything.”

Jackson-Davis’ commitment looms large for many reasons, but first and foremost, it confirms Miller’s perceived repercussions of an “inside-out” recruiting strategy.

The second-year coach raved about the state of Indiana when he was granted the job in March 2017.

“The reason I'm here, and I really believe this, is the state of Indiana,” Miller said at his opening press conference.

Miller’s predecessor, Tom Crean, was much maligned for his swings and misses at in-state talent over his nineyear tenure. Miller made it a point that he would dominate

recruiting in the Hoosier state.

“We have to start inside this state of Indiana, and we have to start moving outside very slowly, because the footprint is there,” Miller said at the press conference. “The inside-out approach means that we have to dedicate ourselves to the high school coaches in this state, the high school talent in this state, the grassroots programs in this state, and they must feel like they're being dominated by Indiana University.”

The first major piece to the puzzle was Romeo Langford.

The recruiting business is sketchy by nature. The rumor mill runs rampant. But before Miller’s run began, the Hoosiers were seemingly on the

outskirts of Langford’s recruiting world.

Then, nearly one year and a month to the day after Miller was introduced to Hoosier Nation, Langford perched a red “IU” cap on his head, to the tune of excited shrieks from adoring fans across the state.

“Romeo deciding to come here was a huge feather in the cap for our program,” Miller said after Saturday's win over Northwestern.

The long-term ramifications of commitments like Langford and Jackson-Davis’ cannot be understated — Miller even said as much.

“I would probably be a fool to think that kids aren't looking at Romeo coming here as

a positive,” Miller said. “I think I know the underclassmen in the state are watching him."

And from this year's freshman class, it stretches further than just Langford.

"Trayce and he and Rob have a good relationship, as does Armaan Franklin," Miller said. "They've all really connected in the last year and some change. It's what you want. You want those guys to know each other, like each other. Want to play with one another.”

It’s also worth noting Langford is far from the only bigtime, in-state prize Miller’s staff nabbed in 2018. Forward Damezi Anderson and guard Rob Phinisee were rated the No. 3 and 4 prospects in Indiana per 247 Sports rankings.

“I think a guy like Damezi says he's coming, a guy like Rob says he's coming – don’t discount those guys either,” Miller said. “Those guys are really important guys that we first got.”

In the class of 2023, Miller has already secured commitments from two of the state’s top seven recruits in JacksonDavis and three-star Cathedral High School guard Armaan Franklin.

That number stands to grow as eyes have shifted toward Jackson-Davis’ longtime friend and fellow five-star recruit Keion Brooks from La Lumiere School.

For what it’s worth, Brooks has been rumored to be a package deal with JacksonDavis for months. But future decisions aside, Miller has backed up the talk.

IU wrestling will compete in its first Big Ten dual competitions of the season this weekend. The road trip has IU slated against Michigan State University on Friday night, and University of Michigan on Sunday.

After snagging a win in its home opener against Northern Illinois University last Friday, IU has won twostraight dual competitions.

It’s a streak the team is hoping to extend when they face off with Michigan State.

Last year, the Hoosiers lost a close 18-15 bout with the Spartans, but IU Coach Angel Escobedo said the team is ready to compete for a win this season.

“We just have to get out there and focus on our offense,” Escobedo said. “If we can get out there and focus on dominating, everything else will work itself out.”

A win over Michigan State would be a strong way for IU to start off its Big Ten competitions. After failing to win a dual competition in conference play last season, getting one win immediately could help build momentum.

In recent years, the Big Ten has become the dominant conference in college wrestling. Home to 12 straight NCAA wrestling championships, the conference is as strong as ever this

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Today is a 7 — Communication barriers evaporate. Team coordination comes together naturally now that Mercury is direct. The fog clears, and you can hear each other again.

Angel Escobedo, IU wrestling coach

“Every Big Ten team is stacked with accomplished wrestlers,” Escobedo said.

“We want to flip the narrative and be competitive in every match. We have to come out strong and wrestle with a purpose.”

This weekend will be the team’s last time competing until the South Beach Duals in late December. With the next chunk of their season filled with Big Ten teams, the uphill part of IU’s schedule starts Friday with Michigan State.

With most of IU’s Big Ten competitions being onesided last season, Escobedo has his team focused on being competitive. He said he understands that the conference is top-tier, and he doesn’t want the Hoosiers to be considered an easy win when facing off against these teams.
