Students, staff remember IU professor Dennis Peters

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @joeybowling8

Despite his small stature, Dennis Peters had a roaring voice that filled lecture halls. He leapt up from chairs in the graduate chemistry advising office and wowed children and adults alike with flashes of colors and bright fires during Magic of Chemistry programs, clad in a colorful lab coat decorated with chemical illustrations, mathematical formulas and equations.

Peters, an IU chemistry professor, died Monday after contracting COVID-19 while being hospitalized

for an injury that occurred during spring break. He was 82 and died a few days shy of his birthday, according to the IU Chemistry Department’s obituary.

He was born in 1937 in Eagle Rock, California and graduated from California Institute of Technology with a bachelors of science, and got his doctorate at Harvard University. He has been teaching since 1962, according to the obituary. Peters won a number of local and national awards, such as the Herman T. Briscoe Professorship and Chemical Manufacturers Association National Catalyst Award.

Paul H. O’Neill dies at 84

By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

School of Public and Environmental Affairs namesake Paul O'Neill died Saturday at age 84, according to an IU press release. The IU alumni was the namesake for the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

According to the Associated Press, he died of lung cancer.

“Paul O’Neill was an extraordinary leader who, in his more than five decades working in the public and private sector, embodied the very ideals we strive to impart in our students,” President Michael McRobbie said in the release.

SPEA was renamed as the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs on March 4, 2019. He donated $30 million to IU. He earned a Master of Public Administration from IU in 1966 and served as the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury under President George W. Bush’s first administration in 2001. He also worked as chief executive officer for industrial cooperation Alcoa.

Businesses apply for relief funding

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

Since the application for Bloomington’s Rapid Response Fund opened last week, more than 36 businesses, organizations and nonprofits have completed it and another 138 are working on applications, city spokesperson Yael Ksander said Thursday.

“Bloomington is standing up in a crisis to help businesses, nonprofits, and cultural groups that define and sustain our community,” Mayor John Hamilton said in a City of Bloomington press release.

“They and their employees need

our immediate help.”

Hamilton created the Economic Stabilization and Recovery Group in March to support local businesses, organizations and nonprofits that support or relate to tourism or culture, Ksander said. It diverted $2 million collected from the Food and Beverage Tax Fund to be used for the Rapid Response Fund. The Bloomington Urban Enterprise Association also provided $500,000 to the response fund.

The city will distribute these funds in two waves of $1 million each, according to Indiana Public Media. The first wave will be re-

leased to businesses this week and the second to follow when needed.

The other $500,000 will be available to businesses that apply for funding but are ineligible for money diverted from the Food and Beverage Tax Fund because the business isn't related to tourism, according to documents from Bloomington City Council's April 7 meeting. The funds are limited to people living within Bloomington's Enterprise Zone or programming that benefits the enterprise zone.

The fund aims to support local businesses and organizations until Small Business Administra-

tion loans can be made available by the federal government, according to the city press release.

Because federal funds from the Small Business Administration can take up to three months to be distributed, the city intends to provide immediate loans of up to $50,000 to each business.

Pizza X to increase pay for its employees

By Ally Melnik amelnik@iu.edu | @allylm1

Pizza X hourly employees will receive a 75% pay raise as of April 8 until the end of June, Jeff Mease, the co-owner of the restaurant, said in a Facebook post. This also includes staff that does prep work for Pizza X, such as making the dough, in the restaurant’s commissary kitchen.

The pay raise is possible because of the Federal Paycheck Protection Program, a loan program that stems from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, that’s geared toward providing small businesses financial relief during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This loan will cover Pizza X’s payroll for 10 weeks if the restaurant maintains the same number of employees and total payroll, according to Mease’s post.

Another reason the employees will receive a pay raise is because they are at greater risk to contract the coronavirus while working despite being provided with bandanas and hand sanitizer about a month ago, according to the post.

“The decision is not without risk to us, but we felt it was the right thing to do for our staff and our customers,” Mease said in the post.

While students are off campus for the semester, Residential Programs and Services has increased security measures for residence halls, and IU Police Department increased patrols of campus.

RPS executive director Lukas Leftwich said RPS is limiting access to residence hall buildings to students who petitioned to

“For the students whose belongings are here, they can rest assured that nobody can get into that space,” Leftwich said.

Leftwich said there are 250 to 300 students living in residence halls and 650 in campus apartments. IU granted all students who petitioned the ability to stay on campus. Students who asked

Mayor's mother-inlaw dies of COVID-19

By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

Mayor John Hamilton’s motherin-law died from COVID-19 Thursday night, according to a Facebook post from his wife, Dawn Johnsen.

Carolyn Johnsen was 79 years old. The family was able to say goodbye by phone, according to the post.

"Mom was a strong, capable woman with a one-in-a-million personality," Dawn Johnsen said in the post. "She loved people and they loved her."

Dawn Johnsen said her mother hated politics but made an exception for Hamilton, who was her favorite, and only, son-in-law. Carolyn Johnsen campaigned for him at Bell Trace Senior Living Community, where she lived.

Dawn Johnsen, who tested positive for COVID-19 on April 9, is still in the hospital being treated, Bloomington Director of Public Engagement Mary Carmichael, said.

Bloomington responds to Schooner Creek Farm lawsuit

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @joeybowling8

The City of Bloomington alleges that the owners of Schooner Creek Farm broke their farmer’s market contract by filing a federal lawsuit against the city, mayor and other city officials, according to court documents filed April 13 in U.S. District Court.

The answer to the lawsuit responds point-by-point to Sarah Dye and Douglas Mackey’s allegations that the city violated the First Amendment violations by

allowing political groups to protest the farm but not allowing Dye and Mackey to express their political beliefs.

“Defendants lack knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief about the truth of the allegation,” the court documents state.

The city also denied many of the allegations laid out in the document.

“We’ve been sued by a couple different people for the farmers market, and the responses have been the city has been responsible in following the law in all regards,” Bloomington mayor John

Hamilton told WTIU. Dye and Mackey’s lawsuit alleges that the city violated the farm owners’ First and Fourteenth Amendment rights and that the city violated those rights by allowing political groups such as No Space for Hate and the Purple Shirt Brigade to protest Schooner Creek Farm. The lawsuit then alleges that the city asked Dye and Mackey to not express their political beliefs.

The city requested the court award it compensation for losses and injuries caused by the lawsuit and grant the

“I encourage people to take the time to quit now,” said Patricia Colon, community health tobacco prevention coordinator, in a Wednesday press release.

According to the WHO, smokers are likely to be more vulnerable to COVID-19 because their fingers and possibly contaminated cigarettes come in contact with their lips.

Smokers also may already have lung disease or reduced lung capacity, which could increase the risk of severity.

Although Baked! of Bloomington temporarily closed for business last week due to health concerns related to the coronavirus, fans of the shop will still be able to get fresh cookies while in quarantine. Pizza X announced in a statement on its website that starting Monday, the store would be adopting Baked! for the next couple months and adding cookies to its menu.

According to the statement, three of the bakery’s staple cookie flavors will be available: chocolate chip, chocolate white chocolate chip and peanut butter peanut butter chip.

A 3-pack of cookies will be sold for $5.50, a 6-pack for $8.75, a 9-pack for $11.95 and a baker’s dozen for $14.95, all of which are a few cents more expensive than their original prices.

“They’re a unique brand like we are,” Mease said.

“They care about quality, they do things right. After the shutdown ends we’re just going to see, maybe there’s more stuff we can do together.”

The Bloomington cookie shop announced April 11

Students who break quarantine may face consequences from IU

By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

Though far fewer students are on campus, the IU Office of Student Conduct is still operating. Students could be referred to the office for not following quarantine guidelines or violating the stay-at-home order, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said.

Three students who threw parties March 28 were referred to the office by IUPD officers. According to the code of student conduct, the university can discipline students whose actions endanger themselves or others in the university community.

Students referred to the office could face consequences ranging from a warning to expulsion.

Local attorney Amelia Lahn said the code extends to students who break local or state laws. Violating the statewide stay-at-home order is a misdemeanor.

The possible consequences from IU include a warning, which Lahn said is rare, to disciplinary probation, deferred suspension, suspension or expulsion. Other sanctions such as repairing damage caused or attending seminars can be added by a hearing officer depending on the misconduct.

Lahn said she doesn’t think many students are aware the code of conduct still applies beyond campus.

“As a student, the code goes with you wherever you are,” she said. “So students should be mindful of that while they’re away from here.”

IU can discipline a student for personal misconduct or criminal acts not committed on university property for various reasons, such as the act posing a threat to them or others.

The office is continuing to conduct hearings virtually.

Lahn, who has both defended students and worked on the hearing board, said she

pulmonary disease, all of which increase the risk of hospitalization and death from the coronavirus, according to the CDC. Vapings’ effects on the virus are unknown, but the Food and Drug Administration announced smoking cigarettes can create a more severe case for users, according to Bloomberg News.

Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, wrote in a blog post that people who vape or smoke marijuana might also be at risk.

IU Health suggests people turn to QuitNowIndiana.com if they are interested in quitting smoking, according to the release.

People who want to stop vaping can enroll in Truth Initiative’s This is Quitting text messaging program.

IU Health also offers its own tobacco and vaping cessation programs.

Other recommendations IU Health provides for maintaining overall health include eating healthy, exercising and getting sleep.

The Inspire campaign has been declared the preliminary winners of the election for the next president and vice president of IU Student Government, according to preliminary results Thursday.

The Inspire ticket includes president Rachel Aranyi and vice president Ruhan Syed.

Aranyi said she and Syed are excited to begin advocating on behalf of the student body.

“I want to thank the election commission, everyone who voted, the whole Inspire team,” Aranyi said. “I also want to thank Defy for the great work that they put in this campaign season.”

Voting ended at 10 p.m.

Thursday, and both campaigns were informed of the results. Senior and IUSG Election Commission Chair Quinn Gordon informed the IDS of the preliminary results via text. He said the results will likely be finalized by the IUSG Supreme Court by Sunday evening or Monday morning.

Gordon said 5,371 students voted. The voter turnout was 55% higher than last year, he said. The IUSG Election Commission will release the vote breakdown by ticket after the Supreme Court certifies the election.

Presidential candidate for the Defy campaign Madeline Garcia congratulated Inspire on its campaign in a text to the Indiana Daily Student.

She said she and vice presidential candidate Arianna Hoye hope to collaborate on policy work both inside and

outside IUSG in the future.

“This was a very exciting and empowering Ernie Pyle experience, and we were thrilled at the high voter turnout,” Garcia said.

The Inspire campaign’s primary policies include pushing for a tuition freeze, a $15 minimum wage on campus and discouraging investment in fossil fuels.

Aranyi said she hopes to start implementing her campaign’s COVID-19 relief efforts. She said the first thing her administration needs to do is pass a preliminary budget through IUSG Congress.

At a debate Tuesday night, the Inspire campaign discussed advocating for diversity and inclusion, prioritizing mental health initiatives, combating food insecurity, sustainability and its response to COVID-19.

Syed said while the COVID-19 efforts are the most pressing for the campaign to start working on, he is personally excited to implement environmental policies to make campus more sustainable.

He said they also want to follow through with their petition for a partial tuition refund.

“We’re definitely going to start advocating immediately like we’ve been doing throughout this entire campaign,” Syed said.

He said he and Aranyi will be talking with incumbent IUSG student body president Isabel Mishkin as they approach this transition.

has seen a regular amount of cases.

The office deals with three types of student misconduct: sexual misconduct, academic misconduct and personal misconduct. Violating Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home order would fall under personal misconduct. Lahn said she thinks the office may see an increase in academic misconduct cases because students are working online and could cheat or plagiarize easier.

When someone is reported to the office for personal misconduct, staff in the Dean of Students Office determines if the act constitutes a disciplinary proceeding. If they decide it does, the student is notified and meets with a judicial officer or board for a judicial conference. Very few personal misconduct cases go beyond that level, but if they do, there is formal hearing and an appeal process, according to the Office of Student Conduct website.

Hosseini said his biggest regret is that he can’t tell Peters how much he meant to him.

“I wish I could’ve told him how much he meant to me, as a supervisor, as a family member,” he said.

Chemistry graduate program coordinator Dalane Anderson said Peters would frequently organize Wine Wednesdays with the graduate students and invite office staff, where everyone would nurse a glass of wine while talking about their personal lives. She said Peters made the office come alive, joking about trips to Hawaii and his love of chemistry.

An IU School of Education professor worked with a U.S. State Department’s program in fall 2019 so his students could to develop curriculums for collaborative workshops by working with the U.S. Embassy in Kosovo.

Professor Adam Maltese said he wanted his students to be able to receive feedback from an actual client instead of peer reviewing each other.

The program, Diplomacy Lab, also gave them the opportunity to implement their curriculum instead of just discussing a plan.

"We can sit and peer review our plans all day but having an authentic partner to design for and to give us feedback and, in an ideal world, implement is an unmatched experience for students," Maltese said in an IU press release. dents is shaped by his former adviser. He recalled Peters would never criticize students if they needed help doing research and would help undergraduate and graduate students alike. He would take students out to dinner to celebrate milestones in their careers and frequently had them over to his house for meals.

The experiments Peters would put on for different schools to entice children with science were always impressive and chaotic, Samide said. He said a fan favorite was color-changing chemical solutions which would change color to the tune of the Lone Ranger theme song. Another involved creating a fire that spread across the lab table Peters worked at, eliciting gasps from the audience.

Ana Couto Petro, one of Peters’ graduate students at IU, said he made her more confident in her work. English isn’t her native language, so she delivered drafts of papers and presentations in installments. She said he truly enjoyed helping her.

The Diplomacy Lab works with U.S. college students to provide resources that will help foreign policy issues, according to the release. The labs can range from an independent research project with a single student to lecture-formatted classes. Throughout the semester, students are in contact with the Department of State. The lab has a project in Kosovo that involves makerspaces, collaborative workspaces typically found inside of libraries, schools or other facilities set up for learning and creating. Using makerspaces in public libraries, IU education students helped develop curriculums to teach young adults marketable job skills.

Peters would always crack jokes with his students and help them prepare to defend their research in front of the panel, Couto Petro said. If students needed assistance, his office was always open, and he would drop whatever he was doing to listen.

Lee Klein, another graduate student who worked under Peters and completed his doctorate in 2001, said he remembers the professor’s craftsmanship with words.

Peters would tear papers and drafts apart, rebuilding them and making the writing better. However, he never made students feel small and always invested time into them, Klein said.

A common way Peters would check in with students was through IU sports. He frequently took students to football and basketball games, cheering on the home team and bonding with his graduate pupils.

“He was up out of his chair and shouting wildly and cheering them on,” Klein said.

When the makerspaces’ administrators implemented the student’s curriculums, the makerspaces purchased the equipment the students recommended and hosted several workshops of the curriculums.

“He turned into a different person. He really got into it.”

He said the worst thing one of his students could hear was that Peters was disappointed in them and Peters had the perfect balance of hands-off management, yet nurturing and encouraging of all research ideas or topics.

“There’s a void in the world now that I’m not sure can be filled,” he said Many of Peters' current and former students and colleagues agreed he would be someone the world couldn’t replace.

“A light as bright as his doesn’t shine without lighting others around him,” Gerroll said. “There’s just so many sides to this magnificent man.

We could talk for days, and we wouldn’t be able to encompass a small amount of who he is and what he was."

“There's not an urgency to tick all the boxes and move out,” Leftwich said.

“People are really focused on the right things, and that is their health and their safety.”

Moveouts are scheduled to start after Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home order ends April 20. Appointments may have to be pushed back if the order is extended.

During the meeting, the group also discussed ridership being down on Bloomington Transit. Zac Huneck, planning and special projects manager for Bloomington Transit, said that’s a good thing.

“Passengers are doing a great job at only taking those vital trips,” Huneck said.

Leftwich said essential items include anything academically necessary such as textbooks or musical instruments or personal items such as medications or passports. Students can’t receive unessential items.

IUPD Chief Shannon Bunger said crime and the number of calls IUPD has received have decreased since students left. He said the decrease of crime has given them more time to patrol campus.

Bunger compared statistics of case reports after spring break from this year to last. There were 271 reports filed during IU's 2019 spring break but only 65 this year. Assaults and domestic battery have decreased significantly.

Vandalism, theft, burglary and robbery numbers are lower but still remain relatively close to statistics from 2019.

Bunger said an intruder would have to go through three locked doors in order to get inside someone’s room. He said IUPD is also looking out for any tampering with windows on the first floors.

“We're just making sure that our patrols are covering the dorms where somebody might break a window on the first floor,” Bunger said. “People’s stuff is very secure.”

FOOTBALL

IU’s defense continues to build amid COVID-19

By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff

The rhythm of a down followed by a high-pitched screech from a whistle and then the thud of shoulder pads colliding into blocking sleds normally fills the morning air behind Memorial Stadium. Now the field is empty in the quiet morning.

Players are back home finishing the semester online in-person after in person classes were canceled due to the coronavirus. For IU football, the mentality has remained the same — just because the country has come to a near stop does not mean its p ro g re ssss has to.

While away from campus, the team dove into its preparation for the fall. While the ability to train varies from player to player, film study has been a consistent component in the Hoosiers’ offseason work.

But watching film can only go so far in preparing the players. It’s communication that leads to improvement. .

For defensive coordinator comKane Wommack, com munication is critical and not having players communicate during drills live drill ls is one of the biggest losses of not

having spring practices. Few things can replicate what it is like to be on a football field, processing a play then quickly communicating to your teammates, all before the ball is snapped.

“It’s not enough to just watch film and say, ‘Here’s what they’re doing and here’s what I would do,’” Wommack said during a Friday teleconference. “No, how would I actually communicate this play on the field and do that while watching the film on the computer.”

Communication is the key to Wommack’s defensive philosophy.

With communi-

cation, everyone knows every adjustment being made across the field.

“Communication can cover up a lot of mistakes,” Wommack said in December. “Honestly, I believe that communication is why we’ve adjusted so well in the second half of games. Between players and coaches, we have been able to communicate exactly what is happening on the field and talk through the adjustments that need to be made.”

For inexperienced players, learning how to process informa- tion on the

field and tell their teammates what they are seeing quickly before the snap is one of the hardest yet most important aspects of the game. Wommack and his staff know even though there are no spring practices, learning these skills is essential for the team’s success.

Wommack wants his defensive players to imagine they are on the field while watching film. He wants them to say out loud what adjustments need to be made on the screen and pretend to give instructions to imaginary teammates around them.

“They’re getting a little bit of extra work just in

terms of how they’re watching things, how they’re communicating and as best we can just using our resources and tools to give them the best chance to communicate like they would on game day,” Wommack said.

However, the coaching staff is confident in the defensive starters’ ability to communicate clearly.

The core of IU’s defense remains largely intact after losing just five significant contributors in 2019. After being a top-50 scoring defense in the country last year during the program’s best season in 25 years, the Hoosiers have high expectations for themselves as the fall season nears.

“I’m excited about some of the things we did last year,” Wommack said. “We won eight games and all that, but you have a group of players and coaches that were certainly not satisfied with our overall body of work.”

OPINION

Monday, April 20, 2020 idsnews.com

Editors Abby Malala and Tom Sweeney opinion@idsnews.com

COLUMN

Rep. Trey Hollingsworth is right about reopening the economy Brett Abbott (he/him) is a freshman in finance.

Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, R-9th District, argued in a radio interview Wednesday that the economic relief provided by reopening the American economy is worth the risk of the further spread of COVID-19. President Donald Trump often refers to this theory as not letting the “cure be worse than the disease.”

Hollingsworth was right.

He realizes that while loosening quarantine restrictions is not an easy decision, the economic fallout of a closed American economy will be catastrophic, and legislators at all levels need to base policy decisions off both science and economic affect.

Many have criticized Hollingsworth for supposedly putting a price on human lives, accusing those that dare believe that Americans need to go back to work of prioritizing profits over people. Those allegations are false. In fact, the opposite is true. The more compassionate approach now would be to allow people to regain their livelihoods, their financial security and the dignity of their work.

A fundamental misconception many seem to have is that the economy is the investment banker’s stock port-

folio or the hedge fund manager’s 401(k). This couldn’t be further from the truth. The economy is every American’s wages, salaries and financial independence.

When the economy tanks, it isn’t the rich who have to worry. It’s the single mother who works as a waitress that just got laid off and can’t feed her children. It’s the small business owner who has been barely getting by, but now is

going to lose his business of 20 years. It’s the college student still paying off student loans who can barely make ends meet. These are the victims of an economy in ruin, not the wealthy.

Naturally, some of us have not been hit hard by stayat-home orders. Governors, scientists, news pundits and public health officials all still have their jobs and are getting paid. Most of the perspectives

we hear come from people who are doing alright financially regardless of how long this crisis continues.

But more than 22 million Americans have lost their jobs since the pandemic began, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. These workers are not getting paychecks, and their bills won’t be paid until their livelihoods are restored.

Some say the govern-

KYLE’S KITCHEN

ment needs to provide for Americans’ financial security during this aberrant time, but a government check cannot replace an employee’s salary. Stimulus checks are a bandage that can keep people afloat for a couple weeks. The wound won’t heal until people are getting compensated for their work regularly and at the standard of living they are used to.

It is also important to remember that lives are being risked anytime the economy opens before a vaccine is found. While we can slow the spread, we can’t stop it before having a vaccine, which might not happen until late next year. Whether we ease restrictions in one week or three months, the virus could still spread as soon as people go back to work. If this is true, there is no reason to continue to artificially impose this hardship.

The increase in mental health issues resulting from extended quarantine is another problem. People are isolated, experiencing uncertainty and being stripped of purpose and meaning with no end in sight. These factors will almost certainly lead to an uptick in mental health issues, self-harm and possibly even suicidal ideation.

My grandmother is 92

years old. A close friend of mine is immunocompromised. I love and care about these people, and I don’t want to see anyone die. Every life is precious, and measures still need to be taken to ensure the safety of those most at risk.

This means keeping older and immunocompromised Americans in quarantine.

But a family friend of ours is watching his small restaurant of almost 20 years wither away before his eyes.

He’ll lose everything he’s worked for if this continues for another month. People are losing their houses, their cars, their lives. Government can’t kill COVID-19, but it can prevent people’s lives from being decimated.

I have supported stringent social distancing measures so far, and we are seeing a significantly lower death toll in all areas of the country as a result. But this mitigation has come at a heavy cost, and it is time to restore the economic health of the country.

The most economically vulnerable desperately need stay-at-home orders lifted, and a reopening of the economy — as Hollingsworth has suggested — is the lesser of two evils. We cannot continue this lockdown indefinitely. brabbott@iu.edu

ALWAYS WRITE

Internet access should be a guaranteed right. Quarantine shows why.

Kyle Linder (he/him) is a junior in journalism and international relations.

Nearly half of Americans might not have access to the internet at speeds considered standard, according to a 2020 Microsoft report. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to expose the longstanding inequalities of our society, and the United States’ digital divide is among them. Without reliable internet, millions of Americans struggle to attend online classes, work from home or stay connected to the outside world.

Social distancing has forced schools, libraries, restaurants and workplaces — once sources of free internet access — to close. Meanwhile, many Americans are expected to continue work and school from home. The U.S. government must recognize the internet as an essential social good and work to close the digital divide by subsidizing internet access for low-income and rural Americans.

Broadband, a single cable that can carry large amounts of data at high-speeds, has become the benchmark for adequate internet access.

The Federal Communications Commission defines broadband-level download speeds as 25 megabits per second or faster.

According to Microsoft data from November, 157 million Americans use the internet at speeds slower than that. And with multiple people streaming a lecture, calling via Zoom or downloading large files, a household’s internet connection can drastically slow without broadband.

In Indiana, an estimated

20% of the population has no broadband access, according to BroadbandNow Research.

Internet in the U.S. is also comparatively slower and more expensive than in other developed countries, according to Cable.co.uk and Speedtest. U.S. broadband speeds are ranked 11th, but we pay more than 118 other countries, including countries with faster internet.

There are 33 million Americans without internet entirely, and this is especially common for low-income and rural Americans, according to a 2019 Pew Research study. A 2018 Pew survey found that nearly a quarter of teenagers with family incomes less than $30,000 are sometimes unable to complete homework because they lack reliable internet access. Nearly half resort to using their cell phones.

Students with poor or no internet access, on average, have lower GPAs, fewer digital skills and are less likely to plan to enroll in college, according to a 2020 report from Michigan State University’s Quello Center. When we fail to provide reliable internet, we kneecap students’ ability to succeed and compete in a global economy.

In the midst of a pandemic, this is unsustainable.

Recognizing the internet as a social good rather than a privilege is essential to a well-functioning society.

Stay-at-home orders have only made it clearer. Instead of millions of students and workers scrambling to find an internet connection, access and speed could have been non-issues.

The federal government must act to provide reliable,

high-speed internet to its entire population. In times of uncertainty, such as the current crisis, it acts as a safety net for those vulnerable to falling behind. House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., is already fighting for equal access. He leads a task force on providing broadband to all underserved areas in the U.S. The U.S. government has subsidized such economic developments in the past.

For example, the New Deal included the Rural Electrification Act of 1936. Just as the internet fails to reach rural areas, electricity was largely confined to urban centers. It stayed that way until the federal government intervened on behalf of something it saw as essential to 20th century life.

If the federal government fails to act, states and organizations must. Many internet service providers have promised to provide inhome internet access for free or at a reduced cost in the coming months. While this will surely assist those without the internet, barriers for high-speed, reliable internet still exist.

Indiana should follow the lead of states like North Carolina and Minnesota, which successfully coordinated with municipalities to provide underserved areas with broadband, according to a February report from Pew Trusts.

IU is providing free WiFi to students and the general public in parking lots across all campuses. While this effectively serves some, it cannot provide relief for IU students without reliable internet who live far from IU campuses.

The university’s Center for Rural Engagement could help non-students by providing technical and financial assistance to the 20% of Hoosiers without access to broadband internet. Consistent with its goals of improving quality of life in rural areas, high-speed internet would help underserved Hoosiers. The center’s website has a link to a map of free Wi-Fi hot spots in south central Indiana.

Under normal circumstances, the internet is just as essential, providing us all with an opportunity to succeed on an equal playing field. kylinder@iu.edu

A computer displaying a Zoom class, a notebook and a pair of AirPods are pictured laying on a table.

Online learning shows limits of technology in education Christian Sayers (he/him) is a senior in mathematics and economics.

Americans used to love technology in education.

Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Amazon — tech giants such as these were viewed as having a positive effect on the country in 2015 by 71% of Americans, according to Pew Research. The positivity was shared by the education sector. For example, the Los Angeles Unified School District attempted in 2014 to purchase 700,000 iPads for classroom use.

Privacy scandals such as Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica fiasco precipitated a drop in positive associations with tech companies. Still, 67% of Americans believe technology has improved their lives, according to an Ipsos poll last year. And now, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and school cancellations across the country, we’ve been forced to move our education system online.

If we’re not careful, America could once again fall in love with tech-heavy learning.

But this would be a mistake. The coronavirus pandemic is illustrating that there should be limits to the use of technology in education.

The empirical evidence already suggests that more technology does not always equal better learning outcomes. A 2015 study from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that frequent use of computers at schools was associated with poorer learning outcomes.

This can be for a variety of reasons.

As noted by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, a large body of research has shown that we learn better when using pen and paper.

One such study from Ulm University showed that kindergarteners trained in handwriting outperformed peers who solely used a keyboard.

Screens also serve as a constant distraction. A 2019 survey from the University of Waterloo found almost half of college students are distracted by screens in the classroom — a worrisome statistic, given the precipitous increase of technology in the classroom.

Unfortunately, research is not always the driving force behind policy decisions in this nation, and education is no exception. But the COVID-19 pandemic serves as an educational experiment, pressing accelerate on the screen-ification of the American education system.

Given the recency of the pandemic, academic studies on this educational moment do not yet exist. But attitudes toward online learning are becoming increasingly clear.

Students and parents are becoming more concerned about the drawbacks of this dramatic educational shift.

A Gallup survey from late March found that 42% of parents were worried that their children’s education will be negatively impacted by COVID-19 and school closings.

As a senior finishing college, I feel these limitations first hand. I’ve never felt more disconnected from my

classes and classmates. It’s not the fault of anyone involved — my professors hold lectures and office hours, I attend regularly and my fellow students and I engage in virtual presentations and discussions.

But I feel a clear difference in how I learn. I absorb less information when I’m not sitting in a class and taking notes or able to show a professor my work at office hours or have a face-to-face discussion with classmates.

The evidence and student experience shows that we cannot keep choosing technology and expecting the learning curve to keep going up.

To be clear, I am no luddite — I recognize that technology in the classroom has already created many benefits for students such as increases in motivation and reduced costs. Between virtual libraries which make academic research papers easier to software which can check my math, I’ve personally benefited from these trends.

But even though some technology has helped students, this does not mean more technology will always improve educational outcomes. And when education budgets are failing to recover from recessions and funding cuts, policy makers need to be more critical than ever about where our focus and dollars are going.

This pandemic provides an opportunity for us to think critically about what works — and doesn’t work — as COVID-19 accelerates the rise of virtual education. casayers@iu.edu

Straight No Chaser keeps making music

By Helen Rummel hrummel@iu.edu | @HelenRummel

Members of IU’s famed a cappella group Straight No Chaser are scattered throughout the country, quarantined in their homes, but fans can still see them at 7:30 p.m.

Friday during their YouTube Premiere performance.

This will be the second performance that the group will share through YouTube. The first video featured its performance on Oct. 4, 2017 at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. The live stream raised over $10,000 for Meals on Wheels from fan contributions.

“It’s nice that people are so kind to be able to find a way to do that right now,” group member Charlie Mechling said.

The live stream scheduled for Friday will support the U.S. nonprofit Feeding America, and show an “Open Bar” performance recorded Dec. 23 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

“Open Bar” is the group’s new EP released on Nov. 15. The fivetrack release was the debut production under its new record label, SNC Records.

“It’s our way to give the fans some songs and hopefully bring them joy now that everyone’s stuck in their homes,” group member Tyler Trepp said.

Straight No Chaser had been touring for the release, making a stop at IU last December just like previous years, but postponed the remainder of its spring tour in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many of the dates have been rescheduled for September.

The group has released other musical cover videos on its YouTube account such as “Lean on Me”

by Bill Withers and “You’ve Got a Friend” by James Taylor. The group members use the equipment they would typically use for remote recording sessions in their homes.

“It’s been a fun way to at least be doing something other than sitting around our houses or homeschooling our children,” Mechling said. “To kind of look back and remember songs that we’ve done that we’ve forgotten about.”

The group plans to continue these videos until it can return to its tour. Its next in-person concert is scheduled for July 9 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It is possible they may incorporate streaming in the future to reach a larger audience.

“We would like to come out of this with some sort of positive,” Mechling said. “We have this new way of sharing concerts with fans that maybe have never gotten to see

us live before because we don’t go to their city or don’t go there very often.”

The group members were about to begin a new project before returning to their homes. Typically, they would record material together in Bloomington, but they are unsure if that can still be done this summer.

With extra time at home, Mechling and Trepp said they have en-

joyed the opportunities with their families.

“I just celebrated my birthday on Sunday and I would have been on a flight to Europe, but instead I got to be home with my boys and my wife,” Mechling said.

Future performances can be found on the group’s Facebook and YouTube pages. The concert on Friday is free, but audience members are encouraged to donate.

IU seniors featured in Broadway World’s College Showcase

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @LaurenM30831042

The week before spring break, 14 of IU’s musical theater students were at a loss when they heard their senior showcase would be postponed due to COVID-19. Broadway World, a theater news website, gave five of them a way to keep performing.

Broadway World asked collegiate musical theater students who had a senior showcase canceled to submit a video, a picture and information so they could be added to Broadway World’s online College Showcase.

Senior showcases are used to give students a chance to connect with casting directors, agents and other professional talent representatives.

Talent representatives can email Broadway World if they are interested in a student, and they will receive contact information.

Musical theater student Joey LaPlant said many showcases are in big cities. IU’s showcase was supposed to be in New York City at Joe’s Pub in May, an annual tradition.

The theater department plans to gather the graduates and travel to New York to do the showcase in the fall, although nothing is finalized, LaPlant said.

Luke Major, another affected student, said it is something you prepare for over time in the program.

“It’s something you really look forward to during your four years,” Major said.

He said he found out about the Broadway World showcase through the group’s Facebook page. After Nina Donville, another student, shared that she submitted her material, Major decided to submit his own.

“It really meant a lot to me that there were other people out there that we didn’t even know who were trying to still create opportunities for us to be seen and get our material out there,” he said.

Madelyn Allender, who submitted her own material, said she was already contacted by a management company. She gave advice to other seniors missing a showcase.

“Take advantage of anything that’s out there because

it’s really easy to feel distraught,” she said. “It’s not the end of the world because if it weren’t for that, then I wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”

Donville said she found the opportunity through Instagram. She said after she submitted her material, she woke up one day to see that a friend shared a Broadway World post with her thumb-

nail picture. She was officially part of the College Showcase.

Over time, more students were added.

“It was just a really warm feeling to get to see not only myself but my classmates and not only my classmates but other seniors from around the world get that little recognition,” Donville said. “It gives you a sense of pride

and accomplishment in a time where everybody’s really struggling to be inspired.”

Casey Lamont said she submitted material and found out she was added after her mom saw the post on Facebook.

“It was so quick,” she said.

“I was so surprised.”

She said Broadway World is a big opportunity due to its

prominence.

“Broadway World is such a renowned website for all of the theater people and our industry,” Lamont said. “I thought it was a really nice thing for them to do.”

Donville said while showcases are meant to catch the attention of talent agencies, they are not really in a situation to hire.

“They’re really trying to focus on maintaining the clients that they do have,” she said.

“It’s a bit of an inopportune time.”

She said she thinks it is really about creating a community with seniors who are in the same situation.

“That’s the bigger, underlying purpose that we got involved with in the first place,” Donville said.

Joey LaPlant was recently added to the College Showcase.

He said the opportunity keeps artists all over connected.

“It’s just part of what everyone has done to band together and still do what we like to do and create art over the time that we can’t physically be together,” he said. “It gives you something tangible.”
