Suicide survivors gather to discuss preventative action

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

The gallery lights were dimmed, the chairs were set in a semicircle around a small table with a red cloth. On the right side of the table sat a pair of black shoes. In the middle was a gold clock, frozen in time.

People sat, faces sullen, as they anticipated what would come.

At the left of the table sat a candle, which Dave Colman lit after a brief introduction.

“In My Shoes” was the final event in a series put on by the Venue Fine Art & Gifts in honor of National Suicide Prevention Month. Survivors and those affected by suicide spoke Tuesday night.

“I’ve learned from this presentation that suicide affects the lives of one in five people in this country. I’ve learned that more people died this

year from suicide than from auto accidents,” Colman, curator of the Venue, said.

After Colman’s introduction, a recording played. The voice of Michelle MartinColman, Colman’s wife, came clearly through the speaker.

She read from a letter.

“When I close my eyes, I remember hearing you on an early fall day like this, many years ago, when I was eight,” Martin-Colman said on the recording. “I would hear you whistling on the sidewalk every morning at 7:30 on your way to work. You were the silverhaired stepfather who adopted me and eventually became my dad.”

Martin-Colman went on to outline her step-father’s life, from the strict rules about who she could play with and SEE SURVIVORS, PAGE 6

Interfaith Winter Shelter raises funds to house homeless

Few groups have ever come to the IU football program with as much hype as the 2013 recruiting class.

Safety Antonio Allen is gone.

Defensive end David Kenney is gone. And now defensive tackle Darius Latham is suspended.

They were the headliners of the class. They were the three 4-star recruits, according to 247sports.com, and Darius the kind of recruits Latham IU football had not normally been able to bring in.

Kenney left the program in August 2014, and Allen was dismissed from the team in June after being arrested for drug-related charges.

Latham, who IU Coach Kevin Wilson predicted during the summer would have a phenomenal season, was suspended indefinitely Tuesday. It was his second suspension this season after being held out of IU’s week one win against Southern Illinois.

Last week, the junior defensive lineman spoke with the Indiana Daily Student about dealing with being the last of those three.

“It’s like a big bull’s-eye on me,” he said.

Latham said he still thinks about the 2013 class everyday. Every time he practices and goes out for a game, he said he feels he needs to make things happen to honor those expectations of being the class to turn IU around.

Wilson and defensive line coach Larry McDaniel both said sometimes Latham freelances, or tries to make a big play, instead of sticking to his assignment and allowing the scheme of the defense to make the play.

McDaniel said it goes back to being such a highly touted recruit out of Indianapolis’ North Central High School, back when he was so much bigger and stronger than everybody that he could freelance and get away with it.

“It’s really kill the man with the football,” McDaniel said on Latham’s high school days. “See the ball.

Tackle the ball.”

In three active games this season, Latham has compiled 10 tackles and two sacks. Even on plays that have not resulted in a statistic, Latham can often be found hitting or applying pressure to the opposing quarterback.

When talking about his week one suspension, Latham considered how his and his teammates’ suspensions could hold IU back.

In the throes of winter when sub-zero temperatures become too much, most Hoosiers retreat to their homes and take refuge in four walls, a roof and the ability to adjust their thermostats.

But there is a smaller set of Hoosiers that cannot afford the luxury of a bed, pillow and cozy blanket. These Hoosiers have no home.

According to the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, as of January 2015 there were 5,863 homeless individuals living across Indiana. There are 329 residing in Monroe County.

Earlier this month, the Interfaith Winter Shelter launched their second crowd-funding campaign. The 45-day campaign aims to raise $35,000 for the upcoming 152-night winter season.

The IWS provides beds, pillows, blankets and refreshments to the homeless community from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. every night Nov. 1 through March 31.

The IWS started in 2009 when clergy and religious leaders from different faith communities came together to provide a shelter for the homeless community during the winter season. During the past six years, the IWS has evolved into a five-month program that provides shelter, refreshments, transportation and access to a professional social worker for the homeless.

“It’s gotten a little more refined each year with more support,” said Daniel Watts, president of the

When Piper Kerman began a 15-month prison sentence, her lawyer advised her not to make any friends. But Kerman said the friendships she made were what helped her survive.

IU and Delta Gamma alumni Amy Wilson helps sponsor the talk every year, making the talk free to the public.

“Some of my most inspirational experiences in college were the speakers I got to see,” Wilson said.

“They remove students from their usual routine and remind them of the world outside.”

Plans for center discussed

By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu

Yolanda Treviño, assistant vice president for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs, answered questions about the new director of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center and the annual senior congratulatory celebration Tuesday night.

Treviño addressed students and faculty about the center’s upcoming programs and activities, the status of the search for the center’s director and plans for the center’s end-of-year activities.

Students and faculty gathered for the State of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center Address in the Grand Hall of the NMBCC. The NMBCC connects IU to black culture and facilitates programs and activities to promote knowledge and awareness of black culture.

Treviño discussed the diversity of the student population and how the black population has changed.

She said nearly 1,800 students self-identify as black or African American.

“This is a 6.6% increase over last year,” Treviño said.

“The good thing is the number of black students on campus is definitely growing.”

Treviño also discussed the goals of the NMBCC. She said the goal for this year is student success. In order to achieve its goal, the NMBCC will offer programs

for each class of students: freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. These include the freshmen pinning ceremony, internships or research programs for sophomores, and support for juniors and seniors as they think about life after college.

“The NMBCC will offer programs and activities that introduce and polish interpersonal competencies, which will help students become more competitive and rank among the top candidates,” Treviño said.

Treviño went on to announce the status of the search for the center’s director, saying three final candidates visited campus during the summer. After the previous director stepped down in July, a national search to find a new director began.

She said the application will reopen within the next few weeks. Treviño said she hopes to create a committee to review the applications in January, conduct interviews in February and extend offers in April, having a director set to start by July 1.

Treviño said a candidate who was asked to take the position retracted his acceptance just prior to an announcement in August.

During the process of finding a new director, Treviño has temporarily taken over the position.

When asked about her goals for bringing in more students to the cen-

Members of IU Student Association Congress passed four resolutions and approved IUSA’s budget at their assembly meeting Tuesday night in Hodge Hall.

The agenda for the meeting showed five resolutions for consideration.

However, a resolution proposing an amendment to the bylaws regarding executive stipends was tabled for reconsideration.

Congressman Andrew Guenther, representing offcampus residency, wrote the tabled resolution.

The resolution proposed a change to the IUSA bylaws that would set executive stipends at 12 percent of the operational IUSA budget.

An executive stipend is a payment made directly to the bursar account of an executive member, such as the president or treasurer.

It also proposed a change that would stop the use of

IUSA funds for benefits, such as parking passes, for IUSA executives.

Of the IUSA operational budget of $66,000, $15,000 was allocated for executive stipends. That constitutes almost 23 percent of the IUSA operational budget for the year.

“This means that executive stipends and the parking passes totaled around 30% of the total IUSA budget, which I thought sounded a bit extreme,” Guenther said.

The stipend of $3000 for each of the five executives follows precedent set by previous years’ stipends.

However, this amount was allocated and distributed with a planned budget of $100,000.

The stipends were distributed before the budget was approved by IUSA Congress and before the final allocation of $60,000 was known to Treasurer Wes Cuprill.

Dr. Yolanda Treviño, assistant vice president of Diversity, Equality and Multicultural Affairs, talks about the search for a new director at the State at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center on Tuesday night. Treviño said the director search is ongoing.

ter, Treviño discussed her vision.

“My vision for the center is to have more people coming and using it,” Treviño said. “My vision is that all culture centers are places that are going to provide students the opportunities to be successful.”

Treviño discussed new events and programs for the new school year. These events include plans for homecoming and meeting with the family of Carrie Parker Taylor, the first black IU-Bloomington student.

Before opening the floor for questions, Treviño discussed the changes with the congratulatory celebration, a celebration for seniors before graduation. She said because this celebration has grown during the past 40 years, it has become harder to plan logistically.

The Office of the Vice

President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs is transitioning to make the celebration more sustainable, she said.

Treviño said OVPDEMA wants students to help make this celebration more sustainable by giving their thoughts and opinions on how to do so.

“I’m really excited that students present ideas and we’re able to very quickly put them into place,” Treviño said.

Treviño said she hopes students will take away three things from the address: There is an opportunity for dialogue, things are happening in which students should take part, and students are not forgotten.

“You, the student body, are a very important part of shaping what we do and furthering our traditions,” Treviño said.

In Friday’s edition of the Indiana Daily Student, an article in the campus section should have said Ken Richards organized the event.

In Tuesday’s issue of the IDS, the article, “Man Killed with 4 gun wounds Saturday” should have said Taylor Kirby was arrested on charges of murdering her husband.

In Tuesday’s edition of the Indiana Daily Student, a story should have said self-taught baker Karlie Story is the woman behind the cakes at Sugar & Spice in the Indiana Memorial Union.

An article in Tuesday’s issue of the IDS was accompanied by an incorrect map. The map ran on page one had the headline “Night Owl route changes and additions.” The Night Owl route should have shown the bus going north on Indiana Avenue, turning west onto Kirkwood Avenue, turning north on Walnut Street, turning east on to Seventh Street, following Seventh Street until turning north onto North Woodlawn Avenue and turning east on 10th Street before turning north on Fee Lane to complete the route to the stadium. The “IMU Special” Night Owl should have shown the bus moving north on Indiana Avenue, turning west onto Kirkwood Avenue, turning north on Walnut Street and then turning east onto Seventh Street to finish the route moving towards the Indiana Memorial Union. An updated version of the map is available at idsnews.com.

Earth Care activist pushes green change

By Sophia Muston skmuston@indiana.edu | @sophiamuston

Stephanie Kimball’s children, Hans and Anna, were six and three years old when she decided she wanted to get more involved with climate change efforts. She said she was inspired to take action because her children would have to deal with the effects of climate change firsthand.

“It was just the realization that they were not going to have the same kind of future that I always assumed I had when I was their age,” Kimball said. “The descriptions of what was likely to happen were just terrifying and totally not acceptable.”

The family started by cutting down energy use in their own household. Then Kimball decided to expand her efforts.

She helped found a group called Earth Care Indiana, an interfaith group of congregations that tries to cut down energy use of both churches and individuals. Through the program, Kimball developed an initiative called Task of the Month to encourage households to undertake one task per month that reduces environmental strain.

According to the Earth Care website, tasks include insulating water heaters, lowering water heater temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit in January and air-drying clothes during warm months. October’s task is to install attic insulation and seal and insulate ducts. These changes Kimball and Earth Care Indiana deter-

mined could yield household savings of up to $200 per year.

Task of the Month has since been adopted by other entities, among them the Monroe County Energy Challenge, Kimball said.

Kimball said she hopes those participating in the program will have a sizable, collective effect on climate change reduction.

“In a sense it’s making the whole problem smaller by giving you a discrete task to do each month,” Kimball said.

“But at the same time it’s not insignificant because you’ve got gazillions of people doing that one task each month.

A lot gets done, and you have the camaraderie and the community of doing it with other people.”

Other actions not part of the program can also be beneficial for the environment, Kimball said. She said reducing consumption of material goods and eating lower on the food chain help reduce carbon footprint significantly.

Although Kimball’s work has focused on individuals and households, delegates from many nations are looking to achieve the same outcome of carbon footprint reduction on a much larger scale at upcoming negotiations in Paris.

From Nov. 30 to Dec. 11, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change will bring together about 25,000 international delegates in Paris, according to the conference’s website. The

conference aims to create a legally binding agreement between countries to reduce net global greenhouse gas emissions and keep atmospheric temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius.

Joint professor at School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the Maurer School of Law, Daniel Cole teaches a course in climate law and policy.

Cole said any changes in climate change policy implemented at the Paris conference will likely be marginal at best but efforts might be gaining momentum, partly due to recent attention by world religious leaders and partly due to changes in public opinion.

“It finally seems to be getting through to people, at least on one side of the aisle, that climate change is happening,” Cole said. “It is substantially caused by human emissions, and the costs of not dealing with it would be very, very high over the coming centuries. At some point they start rising steeply.”

Cole said people near Bloomington are already experiencing these costs. Farmers in southern Indiana, for instance, have been forced to use costly pivot irrigation systems due to a decrease in rainfall.

These increasing reallife costs are what originally prompted Kimball to become a climate activist nine years ago.

“We decided we couldn’t just let the predictions come true,” Kimball said. “We had to do all we could to stop it.”

Indiana DOE seeks advice on Title I fund reductions

By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy

The Indiana Department of Education announced Sept. 25 it was in communication with the federal government regarding charter school funding reductions.

Title I is a federal program which allots money to various school districts with the intention of improving the academics of disadvantaged students.

For the government’s purposes, “disadvantaged” students are ones who come from foster or low-income homes or from families who receive temporary government assistance.

Therefore, Title I funding relies directly on the Census Poverty Count, a survey the federal government conducts annually to measure poverty within the United States.

Several Indiana schools have reduced numbers of students living in poverty, so the Indiana Department of Education advises the supplemental funds schools receive from Title I, especially charter schools,

may be reduced significantly.

In Bloomington, The Project School is the only currently active charter school. School leader Catherine Diersing said her school has already suffered a loss.

“This year The Project School experienced a reduction of Title I funds of approximately 21 percent,” Diersing said. “This was unexpected.”

The Project School is different from regular schools. For one thing, classrooms aren’t grouped by grade but rather students of varying ages since curricula at the school are tailored to individual children.

Additionally, the school states on its website, those who teach for the school are committed to social justice and to ending the “predictive value of race, class, gender and special needs on success in school and life.”

But with Title I funding reduced, Diersing said the school has already suffered a loss in people who share that vision.

“The loss required us to

reduce staffing, which results in reduced services,” Diersing said.

Larry Demoss, a former board member of the Indiana Charter School Board, said charter schools often target certain specific student demographics.

“Many charter schools in Indianapolis were looking for students who hadn’t found success in IPS schools,” Demoss said.

Demoss said The Project School was able to target a group of students with “special challenges.”

But often, Demoss said, funding a charter school could be difficult, which is where Title I dollars come into play.

Stimulus funding prevented Title I cuts in the past, but the Indiana Department of Education is uncertain if anything will prevent cuts once more or when it will be clear what amount of funding will be left to allot for Title I. “This loss definitely has a negative impact,” Diersing said.

MLK Birthday Celebration Commission seeks service projects to fund in 2016

By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once praised community service volunteers, “Everybody can be great ... because anybody can serve.”

To honor that legacy, the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration Commission of the City of Bloomington is seeking applicants for the “A Day On! Not A Day Off!” service initiative.

“It’s a great way to get people active in the volunteer world, and the ramifications are that it lasts longer than just a day,” said Michael Shermis, the MLK Commission liaison.

“If you get someone volunteering once and they enjoy the experience, they have a tendency to come back again.”

People can apply through Nov. 9 to recieve funding for service and educational activities taking place either on the

holiday, Jan. 18, or anytime during the “40 Days of Peace” afterwards.

“Organizations are invited to submit proposals for projects that are dynamic and relevant by combining meaningful service and thoughtful reflection, and that provide volunteers with opportunities for sustained service and ongoing community involvement,” the commission’s website reads.

All projects must meet three main criteria: they must complete necessary projects in the community, begin or occur in significant part on the federal holiday and reflect the life and teaching of MLK. “One of his big ideals was getting people involved in the community,” Shermis said.

“He obviously did a lot of other amazing things. We tell people you can focus on any of his principles: anything from voter registration to freedom issues to race and ethics.”

Previous projects have included children building birdhouses and beehives for the Bloomington Community Orchard and volunteers doing organizational projects for local nonprofits.

Last year, Shermis said they used $29,500 to fund every project submitted.

Funding comes from the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County as well as Service for Peace, an international nonprofit.

Projects that involve more than 500 volunteers can receive a maximum of $2,500; projects with fewer than 100 volunteers can receive a maximum of $500. Plans engaging disadvantaged youth, veterans or military families are especially encouraged.

“This year we’re hoping to have a lot more money and get a lot more people involved,” Shermis said.

TEDxBloomington changes programming

By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6

TEDxBloomington has decided to change its programming this year in order to support the IU community in its endeavor to create its own branch of TED, an organization that encourages speakers from across the world to share their ideas.

“We moved away from a big event so IU could get its footing,” said Jennifer Borland, one of the Bloomington branch’s organizers. “We’re choosing to do smaller events where we want to focus on things that have an educational value to them so people can learn a new skill or come to a new understanding.”

Bloomington has a tradition of support for the TEDx community.

In addition to being the site of the first

TEDxIndianaUniversity, Bloomington is the home of Jill Bolte Taylor, who gave the first TED talk to go viral.

As part of its move to smaller events, TEDxBloomington organized a salon Tuesday night titled “Once Upon a Time: The Power of a Well-Told Tale.”

The salon, which took place at the Monroe County Public Library, featured an array of TED talk videos with meaningful and thought-provoking stories.

Borland said the purpose of the series of videos was to explore the positive change stories can have on the world if told the right way.

After watching the videos, attendees discussed what elements make a well-told story and what aspects of the telling would make the story stay with them.

“I think stories are a

big part of every good TED talk,” Borland said. “Our hope with this salon is not only to show engaging talks, but also communicate what it is that helps people grasp an idea and how people can communicate their own big ideas.”

Though TEDxBloomington will not have its own major event this year, it will be introducing Bloomington’s first TEDxYouth, a branch of TED that features younger speakers.

The speakers at this event will be local teenagers, aged 13-18, who will share their ideas on the national theme “Made in the Future.” TEDxBloomingtonYouth will take place Nov. 14, the day after IU’s TED event.

The youth event is free and open to the public and will take place in the Monroe County Public Library’s auditorium.

Is that a penalty card or a glock, ref?

We think we’ve seen it all in sports.

That is until you see a referee pull a gun on a group of soccer players during a match.

Referee Gabriel Murta was kicked and slapped by players during a lower-league soccer match in Brazil this weekend.

The Mirror reports Murta became angry, ran to the locker room and returned onto the field with a gun in his hand.

It appears no one was hurt and it might not be the worse call we’ve ever seen. But needless to say, sports are getting dangerous.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Where’s space headed?

Tristan Fitzpatrick is a junior in journalism and history.

David Bowie was right.

There is life on Mars.

Well, we don’t know yet if life exists on Mars.

But we do know that NASA recently discovered flowing water on the red planet.

This is great news for anyone who supports scientific research and progress.

However, discoveries like the one wouldn’t be possible without the work of NASA. What if there wasn’t enough money available for NASA to function?

Critics of overzealous government spending often point to programs like NASA for taking up too much space in the federal budget each year.

They argue that the government’s money could be used for better things, like making you stand in long lines at the local DMV. According to NASA’s budgetary request for 2015, the space agency asked for $17.4 billion for the fiscal year, according to Slate.com.

Sounds like a lot of money, right?

Compare this number to the president’s proposed budget for the entire country for 2015, which was roughly $3.9 trillion.

NASA, in comparison, would take up a whopping 0.45 percent of the federal budget.

0.45 percent of the federal budget is a small price to pay for discovering our solar system.

NASA’s research in space has also led to scientific advances that have benefitted many people.

From firefighter gear, to artificial limbs and even baby food, NASA develops a stunning amount of our everyday technology during their projects among the cosmos, as cited by its website.

Some advocates in the space community argue that planetary exploration should simply be privatized and left in the hands of a few small companies, like SpaceX or Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic.

This would take the pressure off of Congress to include NASA in the budget and enable anyone with enough money to explore space.

I fear the moral consequences of allowing this to happen.

By giving the go-ahead to private companies with the most money to send spacecraft beyond our orbit, we are potentially selling access to the stars to the highest bidder.

In the future, would poor people be left on Earth if we colonized other planets because they couldn’t afford a ticket to leave?

That is what I fear might happen if private companies offer to run in the money marathon when NASA can’t.

It’s not very fair to give those who can’t afford it the short end of the stick when they’ve gotten it their entire lives.

What can solve the problem of expensive space research?

I believe the only solution is to form an international coalition of nations dedicated to the space exploration and research.

We already have a partnership with the European Space Agency, Japan, Canada and Russia for keeping the International Space Station in orbit.

Why not include more countries who are interested in space as well?

It might be the only way to invest in a future that works for all of us. ttfitzpa@indiana.edu @tfitzwrites

ILLUSTRATION BY KIRA BUSHMAN | IDS

Dead pigs ‘n’ politicians WE SAY: What in the world was David Cameron thinking?

Disclaimer: The following editorial is satire.

Apparently the ‘80s were a wild time to be a college kid at the University of Oxford.

Allegations recently surfaced that a young David Cameron, the current prime minister of the United Kingdom, inserted a “private part of his anatomy” into the mouth of a pig carcass while attending Oxford.

Yes, folks.

We are talking about his penis.

According to an anonymous source in an unauthorized biography of Cameron titled “Call Me Dave,” the prime minister put his penis into the open mouth of a dead farm animal.

The disturbing act was supposedly part of a university club ritual.

What kind of elite bros club chooses to violate dead animals as part of its weird initiation?

Was this some kind of

patriarchal assertion of sexual dominance?

Did they roast the pig and eat it afterward?

How many people have converted to vegetarianism after reading this story?

While Cameron has quickly denied the allegations and the source is admittedly a little shaky, it’s just one of those things you unfortunately can’t unsee.

There’s just no turning back.

John Oliver took to his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight,” to say the alleged incident “hits the perfect sweet spot between one of the most horrific things ever and one of the most amazing things ever.”

And whether Cameron truly did thrust his penis into a pig’s carcass, the Editorial Board finds the story just as ridiculously disturbing as it does ridiculously hilarious.

But will this put a damper on the prime minister’s reputation as a serious

politician?

Will we ever be able to eat bacon without also picturing the male genitalia again?

We say this will likely blow over for Cameron.

The jury is still out for the perturbing mental images, though.

This is, however, probably not the only time an elite rich-kid college club forced its members to commit disturbing or cruel acts involving animal carcasses in its initiation ceremony.

And it’s definitely not the only time a politician did something stupid in college.

Let’s be honest, we all know Mitt Romney was a total jerk back in the day, and some things just never die.

Who knows what other kind of shenanigans that man probably got into?

Conspiracy theory: Donald Trump’s toupee is actually a carcass of dead hamster he hunted down at PetSmart

as a right of passage during his time at the University of Pennsylvania.

In all seriousness, the public has also seen a fair share of politicians, including our current president, admitting they — God forbid — smoked weed in their younger years.

This list also includes, but is not limited to, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Rick Santorum, Al Gore, John Kerry and George W. Bush, according to insidegov.com.

They all got stoned back in the day.

Who knows?

They probably even drank alcohol and attended house parties, too.

Obviously if the allegations against Cameron are true, it is unlikely they can ever be verified.

We say let’s just move on from this whole penis-in-pig debacle and vigorously scrub those mental images from our minds so we can eat a BLT sandwich once again.

PEYTON’S PERSPECTIVE

Jordan River Forum

Intersectionality teaches us privilege

ILLUSTRATION BY MORGAN ANDERSON | IDS

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Current government threatens religious freedom When I was little, the most important thing in my life was my faith.

As I got older, God came to be a greater focus in my life.

Even now, sometimes he is the only person in my life when everyone else is gone and I feel alone.

Unsurprisingly, this means that my loyalty to God, his church, his word and his vision is of utmost importance.

So I got a rather surprising jolt in 2012.

On a trip out to Washington D.C., I attended a mass with my bishop.

During the homily, he warned those in attendance that the Obama administration would be penalizing businesses, charities and hospitals that failed to provide contraception.

Ignoring the questionable economics behind this proposal, this

move was a direct attack on my faith.

Businesses were being threatened with heavy fines or were outright shut down.

Charities like the Little Sisters of the Poor were being punished and blocked from providing charitable work for people since it doesn’t fit in with the administration’s rules, and there was even the possibility of jail time for those who do something they find to be morally objectionable.

Now in the past year, I believe we have seen several steps backward, not forward.

Death threats were launched against the owners of a small pizza business for not wanting to provide services to an event they were against.

The state of Oregon removed free speech rights from the owners of

another business for refusing to follow laws that violated their faith so they could not complain, and there have actually been several arrests of people for doing acts of faith that were in no way a threat to the general public (such as Rastafarians who smoke pot).

This is neither fair nor moral.

We live in the land of the free, but despite first amendment protections, we clearly need legislation to defend and carry it out.

It is my hope that we will work to protect these rights and defend faith because without conscience, society will fall apart.

May God bless this country, because no one else will.

IT’S A MAD MAD WORLD

Leave your comfort zone and discover the world If I could only remember one thing I learned from college, it would be to get out of my comfort zone.

I know, this mantra appears in all those inspirational boards on Pinterest, and you’ve probably spotted a poster promoting the idea way back in your elementary school days.

As cheesy as it sounds, it’s a motto you should stick with.

According to Time.com list of “Health and Happiness,” Winston-Salem State University psychologist Rich Walker conducted an observational study involving 30,000 memories of events and about 500 journals varying from three months to four years.

Walker discovered that the more a person participated in diverse experiences, the more likely they were to experience positive feelings and minimize negative emotions compared to those who stayed in their comfort zone.

Now before you jump to conclusions, let me be perfectly clear: I’m not one of those people who slip out of their comfort zone with ease.

I (hopefully) resemble a duck gliding on water, but my feet are furiously kicking to keep me from drowning.

Last weekend, I

launched myself like a missile out of my safe haven.

I walked my first 5k after encouragement from a great friend of mine.

The experience felt fresh, inspiring and, to be honest, pretty tiring. I couldn’t be happier I went.

My grandmother, the adventurer she is, took me on a night hike on a rugged trail in southern Indiana Saturday, and I thought I would be miserable.

I pegged myself for an indoor person for a long time.

Childhood experiences of nat-invested forests, cramped camping quarters and general discomfort ruined the outdoors for me.

However, I still had a blast. Although I felt exhausted afterward.

And for the entire weekend, I didn’t wear makeup.

For some, that doesn’t seem like a step out of their comfort zone, but it is like stepping into the deep, unknown abyss of fear for me.

As someone who adores using and discovering the hundreds upon hundreds of options for cosmetics, I rarely ever spend the day with a naked face, unless I’m home.

To go out in public in all weekend without mi-

cromanaging my lipline or checking to make sure my mascara didn’t flake was a relief.

Needless to say, this weekend was full of big and little steps for me.

But the question is, will I make these experiences habit.

Just because you tried something once doesn’t mean you have to do it again.

I can vouch that I’ve tried kale chips, but I never expect to consume those monstrosities again.

So sure, these experiences might not stick.

I could never participate in a 5k again, I could keep wearing makeup and I could happily return to my sanctuary of the air-conditioned, technology-congested world of the indoors.

But those are experiences I get to say I had.

When these experiences do stick, the long-term effects can change your life.

After suggestions from a friend, I joined Independent Council for Women here at IU last semester.

Knowing one person in a group of well over 80 women can cause anxiety. But joining changed my experience at college, and I’m much better off for it.

I boarded a cruise last spring break with women

whose names I couldn’t remember and now can rattle off stories about them that still make me laugh today.

On a whim, I interviewed for a position at the IDS last semester and became a coeditor for the very section of this newspaper you’re reading. And I’m still at it.

Most of all, leaving my comfort zone — a mini metropolis nine hours south from here in Georgia — brought me to IU. The comfort zone will remain right where you left it, like a nightlight in your back pocket you can take out whenever you get scared.

You can return to this safe space when you feel the need, and sometimes you will.

We all need stability in the chaos of life and the comfort zone can serve as that island of peace.

But the world will always be waiting right outside your front door.

Don’t let it slip by you because you’re afraid to explore it. maehogan@indiana.edu @madisonhogan

As I continue to grow and develop my beliefs and identity as a feminist, I am beginning to understand that equality of the sexes just isn’t enough.

I am starting to recognize the privileges I experience just because I am white.

And the privileges others aren’t given because they aren’t white, or because they’re a woman.

Seeking equal treatment of women and men isn’t enough because there is more to a woman and a man than their gender.

Race, class, religion, age, sexuality, etc., are all characteristics that everyday people are discriminated against.

Understanding how these different forms of oppression intersect is a necessary lesson everyone needs to learn, especially for self-proclaimed feminists.

Intersectionality is the understanding that there are many different forms of oppression.

This concept has become the new buzzword among feminists in the past couple years.

The term was originally coined by critical theorist and executive director of the African American Policy Forum Kimberlé Crenshaw, who wrote a paper discussing the marginalization of black women by feminist and anti-racist movements.

Intersectionality beckons advocators for feminism to recognize how different forms of oppression and discrimination overlap and affect women from a variety of backgrounds.

Crenshaw’s goal in defining intersectionality is to, “highlight the multiple avenues through which racial and gender oppression were experienced so that the problems would be easier to discuss and understand,” as she’s written in her essay, “Why Intersectionality Can’t Wait.”

As critics of feminism have observed, the majority of feminist activists appear to be middle-class white women.

Peyton Hurst is a junior in journalism.

Intersectionality needs to become more prominent than ever in our calls for action. The marginalization of other groups is no longer tolerated, nor should it ever be.

All forms of oppression must be recognized and not only that, but reflected in our calls for action and movement.

It needs to be reflected in the changes we make in society and in law.

For me, I believe that understanding the privileges you were born with directly correlates to the understanding of intersectionality.

As a white, cisgender, middle-class woman, I am given privileges that I don’t even have to think about. It’s easier for me to get jobs.

I’m able to protest without fear of police brutality. In fact, I’ll probably get out of a ticket if I get pulled over — I have, three times.

Recognizing these privileges is extremely uncomfortable. It makes me feel guilty. I did nothing to deserve these benefits.

But this is the sad circumstance of white privilege. I’m not, however, completely free of oppression as I am still a woman living in a world that functions as a patriarchy.

I get paid less for the same work a man does, and many other things I could write another column on.

And for women of color, the circumstances are even worse.

This is why intersectionality is so important to understand and incorporate into the fight for equality.

Understanding the identities of others and how society excludes them will enable us to include all identities equally, everywhere. prhurst@indiana.edu @IDSPeyton

A SLICE OF SOMETHING REAL

It’s a shame bodyshaming still happens Here’s a clear rule everyone needs to follow: if it’s not your body, it’s not your problem and none of your business.

It’s not anyone’s place to say anything about anyone else’s body, plain and simple. In our culture, we think it’s normal to look at others with a critical eye and to vocalize our opinions on what we see. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Criticism of other bodies has become so ingrained in our society that fat jokes are something many comedians make part of their “funny” routines.

A comedian like Nicole Arbour, for example, has become a household name for her infamous “Dear Fat People” video on her YouTube channel.

This video is highly problematic for many reasons other than fat shaming, but I’ll save that rant for another time.

In her video, Arbour said fat shaming is a good thing because it will shame all the fat people out of their unhealthy habits and will lead them to make choices to lose weight.

I’ve got to tell you, this is disgusting. Shaming any type of person for any reason is called harassment, which is unacceptable in all forms.

Arbour said she made the video out of concern for the health of all overweight people in this country.

Well, there is no way for you or anyone to observe how healthy a person is by looking. It is possible for thin people to be unhealthy and for people who are not thin to be healthy. Weight is not always a defining factor of health.

It just isn’t your job to tell anyone what makes him or her healthy and what doesn’t.

If you’re not a trained medical physician, you shouldn’t have anything to say about someone’s health and the way you perceive it.

Rachel Miller is a senior in art history and political science.

The association of health and weight is not the only way people police each other’s bodies. We also make comments about how people of different sizes dress and whether or not it is appropriate.

A comment was recently made to me — a person who is not thin — about how I dress. While I was wearing a baggy outfit, this commenter said I dressed appropriately given my size and how this was something to be celebrated.

The first emotion I felt was shock, then confusion.

Was I dressed “appropriately” for my size because my body was undefined in my baggy clothes? Was I dressed “appropriately” because I wasn’t showing much of my skin?

Either way, how we dress should not be in correlation with how much we do or do not weigh.

We can wear whatever we want and whatever makes us feel the most comfortable. Clothes are a mode of expression. Clothing is not a social bargaining tool for us to shame each other into wearing what we find appropriate or inappropriate based on the perceived size of a person.

All bodies are acceptable. Bodies should not be the subject of debate, shame or criticism of any kind. The perceived health and size of a body that is not your own is not a subject for comment.

Let’s do ourselves a favor and focus on other characteristics that are not in association with our bodies, because there is so much more to a person than how they look. rcm2@indiana.edu @RachelCMiller1

After a heart attack and the loss of his job, MartinColman said her stepfather grew increasingly less satisfied in his life. She said she could see the markers for unhappiness, though no one knew at the time how to address them.

One day in 1977, he told his family he was going on a trip with friends. Four days later, the call came that he had died of an overdose in a hotel room.

“I can’t remember if I called to talk with you before I left — before you left,” Martin-Colman said. “Regardless, because I sensed you would take your own life at some point, I always felt I should have — could have — done more to stop you. Over the years I have written many letters to you, and today, looking at your clock, at this event which you inspired, I like this letter the best.”

After the first recording ended, Colman blew the candle out. He placed another, a white one with a black pattern, and a pair of brown shoes with tan stitching atop the table.

Colleen Wells’ voice recording played next. The author, who spoke at the Venue last year, wrote a book about her struggles with bipolar disorder. That night, she shared another memory from her time in college, when she struggled with suicidal thoughts.

“I had seen a movie about two teenagers killing themselves by sitting in a running car inside of a closed garage,” Wells said on the recording. “When I tried this, I was not sure in my 18-year-old mind that I truly

IWS Board.

As the IWS continues to refine its program, its primary role is to provide shelter for the homeless.

“As we all know, in Indiana it can get severely cold during the winter months,” Garrett Poortinga, the campaign coordinator, said.

“The shelter keeps people alive who don’t have homes, friends or family to stay with.

We witnessed a major outpouring of support last year, and we’re hoping to receive some of that support this year.”

Watts said the successful crowd-funding campaign last year encouraged the IWS board members to re-launch the campaign this year.

The crowd-funding campaign last year raised more than $20,000. The

Wells reflected on all she never would have done had she successfully ended her life, including meeting her husband, adopting children and sharing memories with loved ones. She said she still reads the letters she received while in the hospital and said they give her the strength to continue seeking the beauty in life.

The next speaker was artist Mark Riggins, who placed his own shoes on the table in honor of a former coworker. He recalled how one day during work, he received a call from a suicide hotline warning that one of his colleagues was at risk.

He sought out the employee, spoke to him for an hour or so and said they stayed in touch afterward.

Cindy Moore, coordinator of academic advising in the School of Public Health, spoke last. She shared the experience of losing her oldest nephew to suicide in 2010 and how that experience encouraged her to take an active role in the discussion.

Moore participates in safeTALK workshops, part of an initiative to prepare people to be more alert and aware of the markers of suicide in those around them.

Terminology is important to change the dialogue surrounding the act of suicide, which Moore said is not discussed enough as a disorder.

“Oftentimes when people speak about someone who has died by suicide, it’s quite common to see the word ‘committed’ suicide,” Moore said. “We just don’t talk about it. One of the things we try to talk about and promote during safeTALK presentations is getting away from the word ‘committed.’”

“I always felt I should have—could have—done more to stop you. Over the years I have written many letters to you, and today, looking at your clock, at this event which you inspired, I like this letter the best.”

and junior defensive tackle Ralph Green are listed together on the depth chart at strong side defensive tackle.

But this week, Green was listed at nose tackle and sophomore defensive tackle Robert McCray was listed as Latham’s backup.

It remains to be seen how the suspension will change the lineup, but Green is experienced at Latham’s spot,

and McCray recorded one of IU’s three quarterback hits against Wake Forest.

As much as media have asked about Latham’s growth and what his ceiling can be, Latham’s status is now pending a proceeding with the IU Office of Student Ethics.

In August, Wilson said Latham was the best he has seen him since joining the

program. Now Latham will be off the field for the Hoosiers’ biggest opponent of the season.

“The story is hands-down Darius Latham is the best I’ve seen him in work ethic, body ethics, buy-in, giving it all he’s got, doing this daily, doing a lot of great things players do in preps,” Wilson said in August. “I think he’ll have a phenomenal year.”

funds were allocated toward laundry services, bus tickets, shelter supplies and other expenses. But a critical service it afforded the IWS was the ability to hire a social worker from the Shalom Community Center.

“The key thing was a very intense partnership with Shalom, who actually provides the caseworker,” Watts said. “The goal of this kind of partnership is to facilitate addressing issues and concerns that individual guests may have and to help them solve problems or move them into a more stable housing situation.”

Last year, social worker Deanne Witzke found housing for 53 homeless people that frequented the IWS, 23 of whom were permanently housed.

“That’s a pretty significant number,” she said.

“I don’t think that would have been possible without

the Interfaith-Shalom collaboration.”

The IWS crowd-funding campaign originated as a class capstone project for Poortinga during his final year in his master’s program at IU. But it was Poortinga’s personal struggles that inspired him to aid the homeless community.

Poortinga moved to San Francisco for four years after graduating from IU in 2008 with his undergraduate degree.

In San Francisco, he suffered through unemployment and homelessness.

“I was in between jobs, and I was personally homeless,” Poortinga said.

“I was relying on friends and couch-surfing, searching for places to stay for weeks on end.”

For the second crowdfunding campaign the IWS aims to hire an on-site

coordinator throughout the entire night, Watts said.

They also want to train their volunteers in conflict resolution and conflict de-escalation.

“We are always welcoming to new volunteers,” Watts said.

The volunteers are pivotal in keeping the shelter operational, he said.

Madison Kesler, volunteer at the IWS, said getting the opportunity to volunteer is equally rewarding.

“My experience has been fantastic. I truly enjoy going to the shelter,” she said. “Knowing that the shelter that I volunteer at is saving lives is so rewarding.”

Despite the IWS continuing to enhance its services, its primary goal remains the same.

“The major objective is to save lives in the winter,” Watts said. “We don’t want people freezing to death.”

IU men’s soccer responded with two wins after losing 4-1 at home to Big Ten opponent Rutgers two weeks ago.

The Hoosiers first recorded a 3-0 victory against University of Evansville at Bill Armstrong Stadium on Wednesday night before winning 1-0 against Big Ten opponent Northwestern on Sunday at Toyota Park.

The win against Northwestern ensured that IU is no longer at the bottom of the Big Ten standings, as they now are in sixth place out of the nine Big Ten teams.

IU now heads west to face St. Louis University for a nonconference game Wednesday night.

St. Louis and IU have won the most national titles in the nation, with St. Louis having won a record 10 titles and IU having won eight. The Billikens won their 10 titles during the ‘60s and ‘70s, but the Hoosiers had more success in recent years, having won their eighth title in 2012.

The Hoosiers and the Billikens have met 34 times during the programs’ histories. In those matchups, IU leads 219-4. IU defeated St. Louis, 3-1, when the teams met at Bill Armstrong Stadium last year.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Jamie Hillner, director of lectureship for Delta Gamma, was responsible for finding a speaker to book. The sorority was looking for someone who could demonstrate passion and drive to the Bloomington community, Hillner said.

“Kerman wrote a great book and it’s now a great show, but what she’s doing in activism now is what really inspires me,” Hillner said.

Kerman began her talk by explaining her road to prison.

Kerman started her 15-month prison sentence in 2004.

The number of women in federal prison has increased by 650 percent within the last century, Kerman said. There are currently 200,000 women in American prisons and jails and 830,000 women under probation and parole.

“You may have mixed feelings about these women and their crimes, but it’s important to think about who these women really are,” Kerman said.

She focused on the people she met and the relationships she formed. When she left prison, most people were surprised by her descriptions of what life in prison was really like, Kerman said.

“The last thing I expected was kindness, but that was exactly what I found,” Kerman said.

The presence of humanity

IU (5-3-1) at St. Louis University (4-2) 8 p.m., Wednesday, Hermann Stadium prepare to travel to Hermann Stadium.

“We know there’s a lot of history that goes into this game,” Lillard said. “Last year was my first year (against them), and it was a competitive game the whole entire time. I’ve never been to St. Louis, but I’ve heard that they’ve a nice setup over there, so it’ll be exciting.”

Lillard also said that the team is feeling more confident as they head into this fixture on the backs of consecutive victories. A win would also mean the Hoosiers would have won three consecutive games for the first time in the regular season this year.

“As you start winning games, (winning runs) is in the back of your mind a little bit,” Lillard said. “But we are just trying to take it game by game, half by half, and putting together a full 90 minutes and focusing on what’s at us right now.”

Freshman defender Andrew Gutman, who scored his first goal for IU on Sunday, echoed the same thoughts and said right now the team is focused on putting in a good shift.

“All I know is that we got to focus on us and get better everyday and hopefully get the win,” Gutman said. and kindness in a place most people try not to think about was very important in the writing of her memoir, Kerman said. She continues to stay in touch with many of the women she met in prison.

“What I wanted in my book was for readers to care as much about the women I lived with as I did,” Kerman said. “I hoped someone would come away with a different idea of who was in prison and why they were there.”

The purpose of the book was not only to describe prison life, but also to help people understand clear issues within the prison system, Kerman said. She spoke on issues of race, gender and class, as well as the ignorance of substance abuse and mental illness within the prison system.

“What’s important to me in the book and the show is that those things are present,” Kerman said.

Kerman now serves on the board of the Women’s Prison Association and has spoken across the country as an activist for change in the American federal prison system. She encouraged students to learn more about the criminal justice system, as well as to consider volunteering or donating to organizations to help prisoners.

“If the result of the show and book is that more people are thinking about these things, I could not be more delighted,” Kerman said.

SOMETHING BIG

from something lil Lil BUB spreads unflinching positivity with independent voice

By Bridget Murray bridmurr@indiana.edu | @bridget_murray

Lil BUB does not often jump off couches.

“She’s only ever done that once before,” Mike Bridavsky said upon seeing her propel her long body from the edge of the cushion and waddle toward the glass doors of a lounge room in his local recording studio, Russian Recording.

After a quick, assisted trip to the litter box, she did it again.

“She’s on fire,” Stacy Bridavsky said as Mike rushed to crouch before BUB, phone in hand and waiting for another jump.

BUB, Bloomington’s most famous feline, has a rare bone condition, osteopetrosis, that left her almost immobile a couple years ago. Doctors said she might never move again.

Mike caught her third jump on camera and smiled, his eyes trained on the screen in front of him.

“Wow,” he said. “Off into the sunset.”

From the beginning of their relationship, Mike said he knew BUB was a special cat. A friend’s mother found her in a tool shed in her backyard.

Although Mike had already rescued four cats, he said he could tell BUB was different.

“When I met her, we hit it off really well,” he said.

Along with her bone condition, BUB is a perma-kitten with an extreme case of dwarfism and a lower jaw shorter than the top one.

“There’s no instruction manual for a BUB,” Mike said. “The hard part is discovering that something’s wrong, figuring out what it is that’s wrong and then figuring out how to make that better.”

BUB is now a little more than four years old. Mike said she cannot go to the bathroom by herself, she needs water added to her food for hydration, she takes supplements and

has treatment two times a day for her bones. She requires regular nail trimmings and baths.

“She’s a little more work than a typical cat,” Mike said. “But, you know, it’s worth it.”

Mike said he takes on the role of BUB’s mother. A lot of cats are very

independent, but BUB is dependent on him and Stacy for survival, he said.

BUB’s voice, however, is all her own. It is the voice of a superhero, only slightly condescending because she is from a higher intelligence somewhere in space, Mike said.

She is inspirational, he said, like the Martin Luther King Jr. of cats.

“Her voice, like, in real life, is not dependent — she’s very independent,” he said. “The voice that most people, you know, normal sane people, would say I created for BUB — it didn’t exist before BUB. So as far as I’m concerned, it’s all her.”

That voice carries unflinching positivity to her fans, Mike said. He said he never meant for his cat to be famous, but he found her fans admired her determination and ability to overcome the obstacles of being a special-needs cat.

“Her message is one of, I think, just a lot of positivity,” Stacy said.

“She really shows people that being different is okay, and, more than being okay, it’s great to be different.”

Although BUB is dependent upon her owners’ care, Mike said theirs is a symbiotic relationship.

He said BUB has taught him to be more patient and charitable in his work — she has already raised more than $300,000 for animals in need. She pulled him through major slumps in his life, he said, and eventually prepared him for life with his and Stacy’s baby, Rosco.

“She provides me with a lot of, um ... we call it magic,” Mike said. “She definitely has something about her that’s an energy that you can’t really explain.”

BUB’s magic continues to spread.

Currently, she and Mike are creating a concept album detailing her crashlanding from space, and a possible record signing in Bloomington is in the works.

She will play a minor role in a feature film starring Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Garner and Christopher Walken.

She is working on a book with Norbert the Dog, which will be sold in her very own store this holiday SEE LIL BUB, PAGE 12

The “#Halston: Student Design Challenge” takes place at 12 p.m. Wednesday at the Grunwald Gallery.

Deb Christiansen, lecturer in the Department of Apparel Merchandising and Interior Design, challenged one of her classes to embrace Halston’s aesthetic for this event.

“I wanted to make it an assignment for a class,” Christiansen said. “What’s really interesting is we’re in a third-semester fashion design course. You feel like they’ve learned a lot, and yet this semester is what we call pattern development — they haven’t learned draping yet.”

Most of Halston’s work involves draping, which students will not learn in-depth until subsequent semesters, Christiansen said.

“It’s become more of a challenge than I even imagined it would, to have them create something in five or six weeks,” Christiansen said.

She said some metalsmithing and jewelry students lent their talents to this challenge as well, drawing upon Halston and Elsa Peretti, a model turned jewelry designer from the same period, as their inspiration.

Senior Samantha Jones said she is taking a modern look at Halston’s designs in her halter dress. She said she took inspiration from one of the dresses in the collection and decided to change the shape and form for a contemporary edge.

“To make it modern, I kept it very form-fitting, kind of sexy — not that Halston’s wasn’t,” Jones said. “His was more flow because it was the ‘70s, everything was a bit more flowy whereas this is going to be a bit more fitted.”

Jones said she entered the project familiar with Halston’s work, though she said she did not know as much of his focus on draping. After finding what her

inspiration would be, Jones said she did her research and compared Halston’s work patterns with today’s design teachings.

“For his hems, he would just turn up the hem and hand-stitch it. It was great hand-stitching, but now that’s not really finished,” Jones said. “They emphasize so much how seams need to be finished, but with Halston, who was this fabulous designer, most of his stuff wasn’t finished.”

Senior Allyson Pruitt, who is working on a fulllength evening gown, said she incorporated aspects of Halston’s work that people her age would find interesting in a garment, such as an elegant open back.

Pruitt said what she found inspiring about Halston is how simple everything in his work seems to the viewer.

“He makes it seem very effortless, even though there is a lot of effort that goes into it,” Pruitt said. “The dresses are simple but still have a lot design incorporated into them that makes them beautiful and unique.”

The freedom within the world of fashion design is what Pruitt said she takes away from this experience.

“You don’t always have to follow the rules when constructing and cutting out,” Pruitt said. “Especially when working with knits, you’ve got a lot more stretch, you’ve got a lot more give.

If you just pay attention to the body and the silhouette you’re trying to work with, you can break as many rules as you want.”

Christiansen said the complexity found within Halston’s seemingly simple designs as well as the lack of closures in his pieces is truly inspiring. She said the project would teach students not only technique with knit fabrics, but how to work within another’s aesthetic bounds.

“I want them to be able to learn about Halston, learn about that aesthetic, learn how complicated the simple is, understand how to use knits, but also understand how to incorporate somebody else’s design aesthetic into your own work,” Christiansen said. “You can still be inspired by that and still have it be your own.”

Jacobs Wind Ensemble to perform

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

The Wind Ensemble concert Wednesday will feature one of the first performances of James Stephenson’s wind ensemble version of “Concerto Rhapsody ‘The Arch’ (2010/2014).”

The composition was originally written for bass trombone and piano. The piece is symbolic of the St. Louis Arch, professor of music M. Dee Stewart said.

“He wrote it in such a way that it musically

reflects the arch,” Stewart said. “The music ends the way it started, because it goes up and back down.”

The Wind Ensemble will perform at 8 p.m. in Auer Hall.

It features conductors Stephen Pratt and Nicholas Waldron and Stewart on bass trombone.

There will be a combination of contemporary and classical pieces at the concert.

“There’s a variety of music in the concert, so people will enjoy all the different aspects of the concert,” Pratt said.

The repertoire also incldes Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Toccata Marziale (1924),” Gregory Youtz’s “For Those Who Wait (2015),” Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,” Kenneth D. Froelich’s “Small Messages (2013),” Anton Bruckner’s “Christus Factus Est (1884),” Sigfrid Karg-Elert’s “Nun danket alle Gott — Marche Triomphale, Op. 65 (1906-8)” and Arturo Márquez’s “Conga del Fuego Nuevo (2009, 2011).”

Also a professor of music, Pratt is the chair of the Department of Bands and

IU senior creates art as self-reflection

By Jordan Morgan jordmorg@indiana.edu | @jo_mo14

Art wasn’t something that interested Phil Shapiro growing up.

The IU senior said it wasn’t until he took an art class in high school that he was inspired by an art teacher to get more into painting. He said it was around 2013 when he realized he could be an artist and that was what he wanted to do with his life.

Now, Shapiro will graduate in May with a major in psychology and minors in art and history and will pursue a career in art.

However, he said he hates art classes because he doesn’t like people telling him how to make his art.

“I am already a hard enough critic on myself, so I don’t need to hear other people’s opinions,”

Shapiro said.

Being self-taught, Shapiro said he has no influences for his artwork other than life.

He has nearly 6,000 followers on his Instagram account titled “Philson Art,” and said he sometimes finds things on social media that he thinks are really cool and inspire him. However, a lot of his work is spontaneous.

“I do what I want,” Shapiro said. “I don’t really stick to one style — I combine a lot of different styles.”

If he had to classify his art, he said most of it is abstract expressionism. He said he also enjoys painting artificial environments and pop art.

His work is motivated by school, girls, stress and sometimes just him being in a good mood and feeling like painting, he said.

Shapiro said he puts a

lot himself into his work.

He said he has a child-like side to his personality but also a dark side, and that is reflected in his artwork.

“A lot of it is based on feeling and emotion, so it is hard to put into words,” Shapiro said.

He said people have told him they relate to his art whenever they have seen his pieces either in person or on his Instagram account.

Former IU wide receiver Shane Wynn is in Bloomington for Saturday’s football game against No. 1 Ohio State, the NFL free agent receiver said Tuesday on Twitter.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Newkirk arrives as a leader

By Andy Wittry awittry@indiana.edu | @AndyWittry

Fall classes at IU started on a Monday in late August. Josh Newkirk moved to Bloomington the day before.

The 6-foot-1 junior point guard will redshirt this season in accordance with NCAA rules after transferring from Pittsburgh. He will spend the year rehabilitating his knee after undergoing microfracture surgery in May. In terms of minutes played, Newkirk is the fourthmost experienced player on the Hoosiers’ roster. Only senior guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell, senior guard Nick Zeisloft and junior forward Troy Williams have logged more time on the court in college.

“Just being a leader,” Newkirk said earlier in September, when describing his role on the team. “Learning, teaching guys, because I’ve played college basketball for two years, so I kind of know a little bit. Just teaching guys little things that they need to know.”

But at the same time, the Raleigh, North Carolina, native needs to learn new offensive and defensive schemes.

Regardless of past playing

experience, there’s always a learning curve when transferring from one program — and conference — to another.

“I’m just always asking questions, anything I got a question about,” Newkirk said.

“Trying to figure out ‘How do you do this?’ ‘How do you do that?’ That’s been big for me — just picking people’s brains, just learning new things, learning how the system’s run, just staying talkative.”

Sept. 23 was Newkirk’s one-month anniversary of moving to Bloomington. Even IU’s freshmen have spent more time in Cook Hall, practicing with the team’s veterans and learning from the Hoosiers’ coaching staff.

He now has to play catch up, but he has roughly 13 months until he suits up for the first time for IU. As of mid-September, Newkirk hadn’t begun jogging, but he expects to be able to in the coming weeks.

“Since he’s sitting out a year, they ain’t going to rush it,” Newkirk’s father, Reggie, told the Indiana Daily Student after Newkirk announced he was transferring to IU. “They’re going to gradually put him back in the mix.”

In the mean time, he said

he’s focusing on the little things. Without being able to run, the junior is focusing on improving his ball handling, fine-tuning his jump shot and working on his passing ability.

“I’ve just been working on the little things that have been weaknesses in my game in the past,” he said.

Once he returns to full strength, Newkirk desires to become a glorified practice player. He won’t see the floor this season, but he can challenge Ferrell, Zeisloft, sophomore guard James Blackmon Jr. and sophomore guard Robert Johnson in practice.

“I think, for me not being able to compete in games this year, it’s just making practice competitive,” Newkirk said.

“Just bringing an extra edge to practice, always bringing the energy, being a leader and just making practice competitive.

That’s my biggest thing.”

In last year’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge, Newkirk scored 16 points and recorded eight assists against the Hoosiers in Assembly Hall. Now he’ll get the chance to go against his former opponents-turnedteammates daily in practice.

Newkirk’s role this season is to add competitive depth in workouts and scrimmages

while being a vocal leader from the sideline on game day. IU Coach Tom Crean wants the transfer to be talkative so that he can be involved in drills even though his knee prevents him from participating at full strength.

“He wants me to stay active, stay talking, getting touches,” Newkirk said. “So I’m just being a leader.”

Ferrell and Zeisloft are in their final year of eligibility, while Blackmon might have the opportunity to leave school early and enter the NBA draft next spring.

Newkirk has roughly six months left to learn from Ferrell, IU’s All-American caliber senior point guard, before the former Pittsburgh Panther takes command of the Hoosiers’ offense.

“He sees the floor well,” Newkirk said of Ferrell. “He’s always dribbling with his eyes up. He sees the next play very well so I think those are some of the things that I pick up, that I ask him about, get pointers on. Now that I’m sitting on the sideline, I’m constantly watching his game, learning the little things that he does to get past his man, see the next play. I’m just learning every day.”

MIKE DROP

Who is the NFL’s way-too-early MVP? Three weeks of the 2015-16 NFL season are in the books, and it has been an unusual start. The Colts, who were Super Bowl favorites, are 1-2.

The Browns, Jaguars, Raiders, Buccaneers and Redskins all won on the same day for the first time in NFL history, and, after week three, seven teams are still undefeated.

Nevertheless, it’s been an exciting season to watch. Let’s take a look at my way-too-early NFL MVP candidates: 5. Andy Dalton Through the first four years of his career, Dalton did just enough to make the playoffs.

However, he has never won a playoff matchup. That can all change in 2015, as Dalton has seemingly elevated his game to a different level.

In the first three weeks, he has thrown for 866 yards, with eight touchdowns to just one interception. His 121.0 quarterback rating is good for second in the league.

Most importantly, he has his team off to a 3-0 start, with two wins coming on the road.

4. Rob Gronkowski Life is always a lot easier when Tom Brady is throwing you the ball. Just ask Gronk.

When I watch Gronk play, I sometimes feel like it isn’t fair.

His size, agility and graceful route-running are a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. Gronk has four receiving touchdowns on the year — almost half of Brady’s touchdown total — and is averaging 102.7 yards per game.

What jumps out the most

IU Athletics will continue to sell tickets to students for $10 throughout the week, as Memorial Stadium nears a sellout audience for IU’s game against Ohio State on Oct. 3, IU Athletics Director Fred Glass said Tuesday.

“We feel that this is an exciting opportunity for students to see an undefeated, No. 1 national champion at a time when IU football is so successful,” Glass said.

“We don’t want to provide a barrier to students that want to participate in an experience that they may remember for the rest of their lives.”

Glass said after the Wake Forest win Saturday, there were less than 4,000 tickets left for the Ohio State game, and he said he anticipates the number to be well below that mark now, as he anticipates a sell-out.

The student section is normally capped at 11,666 tickets, when students are required to buy general public tickets, but Glass said tickets will continue to be sold to students past the sell-out cap.

General public tickets

IU (4-0) vs. Ohio State (4-0) 3:30 p.m., Oct. 3, Memorial Stadium are selling for $65 this week, a price Glass said fluctuates based on the anticipated crowd and competition.

“We are more concerned about providing this opportunity to students than we are maximizing our revenue,” Glass said. “I really give our kids credit.

They’ve been there late during the first three games, and they stayed a while for the Western Kentucky game too.”

Glass said IU Athletics will be sending emails to students who have bought tickets, reminding them they have purchased a ticket for Saturday’s game, and encouraging other students to buy tickets.

“We are trying to be as user-friendly as possible,” Glass said.

Players will also be donning breast cancer awareness apparel, Glass said, as the game will be their first in October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

FIELD HOCKEY

Two IU players receive Big Ten weekly awards From IDS reports

After a weekend with two upsets for the IU field hockey team, two players have received awards for their performances. Sophomore forward Maddie Latino earned Co-offensive Player of the Week honors, and freshman goalkeeper Noëlle Rother was awarded with conference Defensive Player of the Week and Freshman of the Week, the Big Ten announced Tuesday.

Latino tallied an assist against No. 16 Iowa on Friday in the 3-1 victory and scored two goals in the 3-2 win against No. 14 Northwestern on Sunday. Latino scored the game-winner Sunday off a breakaway assist by sophomore midfield

Taylor Pearson to register her third game-winning goal of the season, which ties her for first in the Big Ten. Latino is the first Hoosier to win since Audra Heilman received the award in 2014.

Rother, IU’s true freshman goalie from Hamburg, quieted the top two offensive attacks in the Big Ten this weekend. Rother recorded five saves and one goal allowed against Iowa and 12 saves with two goals allowed against Northwestern to earn the honors.

With the performances

by Latino and Rother, IU was able to defeat two ranked opponents in back-to-back games for the first time since 2011.

MICHAEL HERNANDEZ is a junior in journalism.

is not his 308 yards, but the fact that he has only been targeted 28 times, compared to 10 other receivers who have recorded 35 or more targets, and has converted on 16 of them. He is making the most of his opportunities.

3. Julio Jones Jones is having a recordbreaking year to start the season. Not only are his Falcons 3-0, but he has played the biggest part in those wins.

His 440 receiving yards and 34 receptions are tops in the league thus far. If he plays like he has for the rest of the season, he will end up with 191 catches, 2,346 yards and 21 touchdowns. The first two would shatter NFL records (Marvin Harrison with 143 catches in 2002 and Calvin Johnson with 1,964 receiving yards in 2012).

2. Aaron Rodgers If there’s one thing I have learned about Aaron Rodgers during the past few years, it’s that he doesn’t throw interceptions. Ever.

Not only did Rodgers become the second quarterback in NFL history to throw 10 touchdowns and no interceptions through the first three games, but he did it without his top receiver, Jordy Nelson.

His 135.4 quarterback rating is leading all quarterbacks in the league, and it’s because, once again, he doesn’t throw interceptions.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during a warmups prior to preseason action against the Carolina Panthers on Aug. 28 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. Four games into the NFL season, Brady leads in passing yards and tied for second in touchdowns.

The last time Rodgers threw a pick in the regular season was back in week 15 of the 2014 season. Here what’s most impressive: Rodgers has not thrown an interception at Lambeau Field since week 13 of the 2012 season.

1. Tom Brady I think the rest of the league would now prefer Brady deflate his footballs, because the normal ones are making his game better, even if it’s hard to believe.

He is the first and only quarterback so far this season to surpass the 1,000-yard mark with 1,112 passing yards.

His nine touchdowns are tied for second in the league, and his 119.6 quarterback rating is good for third in the league.

With exception to the passing yards, his numbers are not Rodgers’ numbers, but here is why Brady is the clear MVP winner if the season ended

today.

Firstly, Rodgers does not have a number one receiver like Brady, who has Gronk and then several options at the number two spot in Julian Edelman, Brandon LaFell and Danny Amendola.

Secondly, having to play in the NFC, Rodgers will be facing a conference stacked with the top defenses in the league, such as Minnesota, Carolina and Arizona.

Lastly, Brady is playing with a bit of a chip on his shoulder, even if he doesn’t say it. He wants to prove he can be a winner, even when the entire football world has their eye on him after Deflategate. I would look for Brady to throw the ball more than he ever has in his career this season. He already leads the league with 133 pass attempts. micbhern@indiana.edu

IU junior pursues major in English, storytelling

By Lanie Maresh emaresh@indiana.edu | @lanie_maresh

RACHEL MEERT | IDS

Mike Bridavsky takes video of Lil BUB jumping from the couch as his wife, Stacy, and baby, Rosco, look on. Due to her multiple disabilities, BUB is often incapable of many things on her own and is largely dependent on Mike.

Lil BUB’s Lil Store is set to open in Bloomington on Nov. 1 with a possible soft opening in the middle of October, Stacy said. The store will carry Lil BUB

When it comes to networking, Shapiro said it is important to cast a wide net, get rejected a lot and then eventually something will work out.

products, as well as clothes and items made in the style of BUB. In all of her projects, BUB remains the driving force.

“It is completely her voice,” Mike said. “She can’t do it herself — she’s a cat — but the creative force

is hers.”

As BUB strutted on her extra-toed paws toward the glass door for the final time, Stacy smiled.

“She always goes straight towards the kibble, wherever there’s cat food, or towards the sunlight,” she said. “That’s her thing.”

Pratt said people often do not understand what a wind ensemble is because it is not as familiar to them as groups such as orchestras.

“The wind ensemble is made of the finest woodwind, brass and percussion students in the Jacobs

School of Music,” Pratt said.

Pratt said his experience working with the Wind Ensemble has been enjoyable due to the musicians’ hard work and talent.

“It’s been a pleasure to go to every rehearsal,” he said.

He said he hopes people will like his artwork, but their opinions don’t matter as much to him as long as he likes his own work.

“If they don’t like it, then I don’t give a shit,” Shapiro said. “I am going to keep doing it.”

Shapiro said he paints mostly for himself and he is never going to give up doing what he loves. For every painting he has ever

made, Shapiro said he can remember exactly what he was feeling and what he was doing when he made it.

“Everything I am making is part of me. It’s personal,” he said.

Shapiro said he wants to be the best at what he does and go down in history.

“That’s what art is,” Shapiro said. “It’s an extension of me, and it will be around a lot longer than I am.”

Last spring, while most English majors were concerned with choosing which writing course to take for the fall semester, junior Jake Huff said he was looking forward to enrolling in an acting course.

Though he said he has no interest in pursing acting as a career, he’s taking the course to help him with his writing skills.

“In class we work a lot with the relationship between text and action and emotion, and seeing that from the actor’s side strengthens me on the writing side,” Huff said.

After going through some options with his adviser, Huff decided to craft his own storytelling major supplement to his English major. He is planning to take writing courses through the Media School and the Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance to gain a fresh perspective on storytelling.

Though Huff has had no formal training in acting, this is his third semester performing with the University tWits, a comedy sketch group on campus. Huff said performing in his Acting I for Majors course

is different from in his sketch comedy group.

He said in acting, you’re looking for honesty and reality, whereas in sketch you’re looking for what’s unusual or what’s different from reality.

“The first couple days in class when we were doing exercises that were just about process and truth, I would have to fight the impulse to make choices and change the scene in some way like I would in a comedy sketch,” Huff said.

In addition to the acting course, he said he is also taking Introduction to Playwriting to help him to pay attention to his language in his writing by saying a lot with fewer words.

“If I’m writing for performance then I need to pack as much as I can into the smallest amount of space,” Huff said. “That’s the big reason it’s helped me with my writing.”

Huff said he felt like it was a fluke he was put in Henry Woronicz’s acting class since he’s such a renowned actor.

Not only is Woronicz a visiting assistant professor in the theater department, but he is also a nationally recognized actor, director and producer, according to the IU Theatre

website. Woronicz said he likes the idea of Huff crafting this additional major within the Theatre Department.

He said this idea of performing and knowing what the acting process is about is helpful for storytellers because characterization is a huge component of storytelling.

“I think it’s a great thing and wonderful thing to have in your pocket,” Woronicz said. “The work we’re doing is based from texts and plays, and so you get a character handed to you while with storytelling you kind of make it up as you go along through the same process.”

Huff said the ultimate goal at the end of his two classes is a better understanding of what job he wants to pursue after he graduates. Even if he doesn’t, Huff said he is glad he took the course because it’s given him a new perspective on how humans work that he hadn’t thought about.

“Is taking one class a risk?”

Huff said. “Maybe not, but just throwing myself into something I’ve never really done before formally and didn’t really know what to expect is. I feel like I definitely have done the right thing.”

Artists featured at art guild From IDS reports

The Brown County Art Guild, located in Nashville, Indiana, will display three artists’ work during October, according to a press release.

Jerry Smith and Robert Eberle are the month’s featured artists, and a retrospective exhibit of Louise Hansen, a Member Artist who passed away in 2014, will also be available for viewing.

Smith finds inspiration for his paintings while traveling on back roads, according to the release. His paintings depict the Indiana landscape

and the coast of Maine.

The long-time Indiana resident also paints still-life and cityscapes, and he has been a member of the Brown County Art Guild since 1989.

Eberle’s works have won Best of Show in the Hoosier Salon exhibition. Eberle spends winter painting in Arizona and California, according to the release. He has been a member of the Brown County Art Guild since 2002.

Hansen moved to Indiana when her husband joined the physics faculty at Indiana State University in 1968, according to the release.

She studied at Brigham Young University, the University of Utah and the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. She was elected to signature membership in the American Watercolor Society in 1967 and was a member of the Watercolor Society of Indiana, the Indiana Artists Club and the Brown County Art Guild.

A reception for the artists will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 10 at the Brown County Art Guild, located at 48 S. Van Buren St. in Nashville.
