IU community mourns the death of Professor Tim Baldwin

By Helen Rummel hrummel@iu.edu | @helenrummel

If you are struggling with grief or mental health issues, you are not alone.

IU professor Timothy Baldwin died on Monday at 64 years old. He had taught at the Kelley School of Business since 1987, mak ing him one of the longeststanding professors in the school.

Members of the com munity, students and col leagues remember Baldwin as a role model for others — someone who was always energetic and working to bring people together.

Baldwin taught many classes within the school, including “Managing and Behavior in Organizations” and “Organization Leader ship and Change.”

“It is a very sad day for the department,” Dan Li, the chairperson of the man agement and entrepreneur ship department, said in a statement sent to the In

diana Daily Student. “Tim was a beloved colleague and friend and positively af fected the lives of so many faculty, students and staff over his 35 years of devoted service. He’s always, always, been there to give, to sup port and to lead. The world is a dimmer place without this amazing person.”

Baldwin was the coauthor of several books in cluding “Developing Man agement Skills: What Great Managers Know and Do,” and “Improving Transfer Systems in Organizations.”

He had won multiple awards during his career such as the Eli Lilly Alumni Teaching Award, the FACET All-University Teaching Award and the Dow Innova tion in Teaching Fellowship.

The Indiana Daily Stu dent is working on an obitu ary to honor the life of Tim Baldwin. If you or someone you know would like to con tribute, you can email Helen Rummel at hrummel@ iu.edu.

Bloomington enacts curfew for e-scooter usage

By Carter DeJong cadejong@iu.edu | @dejong_carter

Bloomington residents must abide by new rules when riding e-scooters.

The Bloomington city government has required e-scooter companies to re strict access to their scoot ers between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. daily, according to a Facebook post from the Of fice of the Mayor. The new curfew will go into effect Oct. 13 and will last through the winter.

The new rules come after two e-scooter accidents this semester resulted in deaths

of IU students. In August, an 18-year-old freshman died after an accident on 10th Street near Wells Library. Another rider was killed in an alleged hit-and-run inci dent in September on North Walnut Street.

The city released a set of guidelines for e-scooter use Tuesday.

When on the road, rid ers are required to obey the same rules as cars, includ ing stopping at stop signs and stoplights, signaling turns and following the traf fic directions, according to the release.

Scooters can also be

used on multiuse trails, paths and uncrowded side walks, according to the re lease.

Riders in these areas must follow the same rules as bicycles, such as yield ing to pedestrians, passing pedestrians at a distance of 3 or more feet, alerting ve hicles and pedestrians with an audible signal before passing, not suddenly mov

ing into the path of another pedestrian or vehicle and paying special attention to avoid startling visually im paired pedestrians.

Riders who do not follow the rules could be subject to fines consistent with In diana law and the Bloom ington Municipal Code, ac cording to the release.

e-scooters can be used on sidewalks except in dis mount zones.

Xavier Johnson got com fortable. That’s when the Big Ten got easier for him.

Amid his first season with Indiana men’s basket ball after transferring from the University of Pittsburgh,

the senior guard had to get accustomed to the Big Ten crowds, which he said were much different than those in the Atlantic Coast Confer ence.

Around halfway through the season, Johnson settled in. He scored double-digit points in each of his last 10 games, including a doubledouble at Purdue in a tightly contested game March 5.

“I put in a lot of work, and I was getting mad at myself for not being successful,” Johnson said at Indiana bas ketball’s media day Sept. 22. “So, when it came, I just took the opportunity and excelled at it.”

Commission considers legalizing iGaming

internet casino gambling sites, such as the ability to falsify one’s age. In Indiana, 18-year-olds can participate in the lottery, charitable gambling such as bingo or raffles and pari-mutuel horse betting, often referred to as pool betting. An indi vidual must be 21 years old to participate in casino or slot machine gambling.

“People lie about their age a lot online,” Lewis said. “You see it with things like dating apps and social me dia. I think that it’s impor tant to note that you could end up with teenagers or even kids younger than that who just say that they’re 21.”

Mezuzah burned in antisemitic attack

By Christina Avery averycm@iu.edu | @christym_avery

A mezuzah was ripped off and set on fire this past week at an apartment IU students were living in, according to an Instagram post by the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti semitism at IU on Oct. 3.

By Mia Hilkowitz mhilkowi@iu.edu

This past week, the Indi ana Gaming Commission released a 103-page study analyzing internet casino gaming, or iGaming, and considering its legalization within the state. IGaming includes the operation of digital versions of slot ma chines, table games and other typical casino games through internet channels and apps on mobile devices and personal computers.

The study was con ducted by Spectrum Gam ing Group, a nonpartisan consultancy specializing in economics, regulation and legalized gambling policy, on behalf of the statewide gaming commission. The report states that if Indiana were to legalize iGaming, its introduction would be a “relatively smooth process” and has the potential to earn between $341 million and $943 million in taxes.

Despite it being econom ically beneficial and consid ered a smooth process, there are still fears of the initiative promoting gambling addic tions, especially in younger populations.

Christina Gray, execu tive director of the Indiana Council on Problem Gam

bling, said that unlike more traditional forms of gam bling, the main demograph ic of online sports gamblers are young adults, which could be an indicator of po tential trends in iGaming.

“The largest number of people that gamble on sports betting are males between the ages of 18 and 34,” Gray said. “We’ve seen children as young as 12 with gambling issues.”

Gray said in addition to younger people being more inclined to bet on digital sports, addictive behaviors surrounding video game usage can be an important reflector of how iGaming could impact youth. A 2016 American Psychiatric Asso ciation survey of 19,000 in ternet users found that one in three users reported at least one symptom of gam ing disorders.

“People don’t think about the loot boxes, skins and those kinds of things,” Gray said. “You’re purchas ing something, and you don’t know what you’re get ting. So that also can be a form of gambling.”

The report which briefly mentions that iGaming is likely to have an appeal to tech-savvy youth, based much of its findings on data from other states that have

already legalized internet gambling. As of 2022, Con necticut, Delaware, Michi gan, New Jersey, Pennsylva nia and West Virginia have legalized internet gambling.

The gaming commis sion’s report also proposed three different models that could be adopted to legalize internet gambling. The first method would make iGam ing available to all gaming companies in the state. The second method would limit iGaming licenses to a state’s casinos. The third method proposed would allow thirdparty gaming companies to offer iGaming licensing agreements with casinos in the state.

Digital gambling, like that studied in the report, is not new in Indiana. In fall 2019, Indiana approved online sports wagering, as well as sports wagering for in-person casinos and facili ties, adopting a similar hy brid model to the one pro posed in the study.

Matt Bell, president and CEO of the Casino Associa tion of Indiana, said he ad vocates for a hybrid model of iGaming, according to the recent study.

“Our state has experi ence with a hybrid model. Our operators have experi ence with a hybrid model,”

Bell said. “I think there would be a level of comfort with that, from an industry perspective.”

IU freshman Grace Lei bowitz said that college students could end up view ing iGaming as a fun activ ity and risk developing bad habits instead of putting their focus and energy into schoolwork.

“Allowing people to have access 24/7 is really risky when we know how there can be bad side effects like addiction,” Leibowitz said. “People can’t control urges to gamble. If they have such immediate access, it could cause issues for their futures potentially.”

IU junior Ronnie Lewis said she would not support the legalization, and that legalizing iGaming would negatively impact students.

“I’ve just seen a lot of ways that people use money online and I think that it’s an easy way for people to get scammed,” Lewis said. “The risks of people creating false versions of these online games concerns me, and I think that there would be a lot of legal issues that would come up.”

Lewis also voiced con cerns over the lack of securi ty measures to prevent false identities and fraud on the

According to the Nation al Center for Responsible Gaming, during 2010 ap proximately 75% of college students had gambled either legally or illegally within the previous year, and it is estimated 6% of college stu dents have a gambling prob lem. In addition to resources through Indiana University’s Counseling and Psycho logical Services, the Indiana Problem Gambling Aware ness Program provides in formation about treatment, research and support pro grams for students.

In addition to increasing funding for problem gam bling resources in the state, Gray said an important step to protect students from negative gambling habits is to introduce education initiatives at both the high school and college level. Gray pointed to the National Collegiate Athletic Associa tion’s new gambling harm education program in part nership with EPIC Risk Man agement as a good example. This program is available on all NCAA campuses, provid ing problem gambling edu cational workshops, semi nars and virtual resources for student-athletes, coach es, administrators, game of ficials and health care and support personnel.

“(Gambling) is just like any other addiction and it’s out there and the more we legalize gambling in Indi ana the more it can affect everyone,” Gray said. “So just to help a counselor be aware of problem gambling and to have resources and information about problem gambling on the campus for those who feel that they may have an issue would be a great thing.”

A passion for thrifting created Hoosier A1 Vintage

By Ruth Cronin rmcronin@iu.edu @RuthCronin6

Senior Trey Humphrey got into thrifting his junior year of high school as a way to recon cile his “mall rat” behaviors.

“I got tired of wasting my money on clothes, so I started thrifting,” Humphrey said.

“Then I heard about people basically thrifting to make money, and the rest is his tory.”

As an incoming college freshman, Humphrey knew he wanted to make some thing on his own and not have to work for someone else. He created an Instagram account

to sell vintage clothing and marketed through word of mouth.

Now riding a vintage clothing wave of popularity, Humphrey’s two companies — Hoosier A1 Vintage and Gonzo Hydraulica — sell vintage Indiana gear and rei magined clothes with new art. All the while, Humphrey has amassed a following of over 11,000.

“Every single day of my freshman year I told people about it,” Humphrey said. “There was not a day when I was in Bloomington when I didn’t tell someone about Hoosier A1 Vintage. I stopped when people started telling me that they already knew about it.”

Humphrey took a bus to Indianapolis each weekend to source clothing to bring back to Bloomington. He would post to his small Insta gram following telling them to come to his dorm to buy the clothes.

This dorm is where Hum phrey met his good friend, se nior Sam Crawford.

“I’d see him outside selling

clothes, and they’d just be in a big pile,” Crawford said.

While Humphrey didn’t make any money his fresh man year, he said this time became the building blocks of his company. His business went from digging through piles of vintage clothing to creating his own showroom with a more legitimate shop ping experience.

To shop the showroom, people book an appoint ment by messaging @hoo siera1vintage on Instagram. Humphrey also sells clothes at pop-up shops at Soul Juice in downtown Bloomington.

Humprey believes vintage clothing is a superior product to everything else on the mar ket. He sells a range of items, usually vintage Indiana Tshirts and crewnecks, with his most desirable products are vintage IU jackets and outer wear. However, those pieces are often harder to come by.

Some Indiana basketball players, including Trey Gal loway, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Race Thompson, have posted in their Hoosier A1 Vintage clothing or taken part

IUPD receives multiple reports of rape since Oct. 5

By Christina Avery averycm@iu.edu | @christym_avery

Editor’s Note: This story includes mention of sexual violence.

The IU Police Department received one direct report and four third-party reports of sexual assault forwarded from the Office of Student Conduct, according to an IU Crime Notice email.

The most recent report was made Oct. 7, according to the email.

Another sexual assault

was reported Oct. 5 and said to have occurred at an oncampus residential build ing, according to the IUPD daily crime log. The report was delayed, meaning it was submitted weeks, months or years after the incident.

IUPD Deputy Chief Shannon Bunger said in an email that a third party reported a student had been allegedly sexually assaulted by another student at the victim’s unknown resi dence hall, sometime in the summer or fall of 2022. The case was referred to univer sity officials for review.

IUPD received another delayed report Oct. 5 of a sex ual assault at Read Hall. The incident allegedly occurred on or around July 24, Bunger said. Bunger said the case was referred to university of ficials for review. The case is listed as open, according to the crime log.

The Crime Notice email said these assaults were re ported to have occurred beginning mid-July 2022 through the beginning of the fall 2022 semester, at both on-campus residences and off-campus locations. One

third-party report of sexual assault was reported to have occurred in Forest residence hall.

The incidents involved the same suspect and mul tiple victims, the email said, and the suspect is known to the victims and IUPD. In two cases, it was reported the suspect engaged in noncon sensual sexual contact with the victim while they were asleep. The other third-party reports were described as sexual assault, but the nature of the behavior was not pro vided.

in a promotion.

This past summer, Hum phrey and Crawford began a new clothing brand together called Gonzo Hydraulica.

“We teased with making a clothing brand for a little while because I’ve always been making art and he’s al ways been selling clothes,” Crawford said. “Last summer, we basically decided we were going to do it.”

Gonzo Hydraulica takes blank vintage clothing and prints new art onto them. Humphrey sources the clothes from his thrifting con nections. Meanwhile, Craw ford, who is a comprehensive design major, creates the art for the pieces.

“The overarching theme in all of Gonzo’s artwork has been expressions of discon tent with the powers that be, and that they don’t really have our best interests in mind it feels like, especially as a young person,” Crawford said.

Unlike Hoosier A1 Vin tage, Gonzo Hydraulica items are sold exclusively at com munity events in Blooming ton.

A mezuzah is a piece of parchment typically placed outside a doorway and has biblical passages from the Torah inscribed on it to bless the space and serve as a reminder of the Jewish faith.

The ISCA said it stands in solidarity with the students and con demn such antisemitic hate crimes.

The ISCA has re sources on its website for monitoring antisemitism and sharing its research on antisemitism. It also offers courses covering high-level scholarly re search into present-day manifestations of antiJewish animosity.

IU Hillel also launched an Antisemi tism Prevention Task Force following a series of antisemitic incidents on IU’s campus last fall.

IU-sponsored insurance will cover abortion travel for staff

By Carter DeJong cadejong@iu.edu | @dejong_carter

IU-sponsored insur ance will cover abortion travel expenses up to $2,000 beginning in 2023, according to a statement from IU Bloomington Staff Council President Alison Sinadinos.

The offer includes a travel benefit of up to $2,000 annually for med ical procedures not avail able within 100 miles of the person’s home, ac cording to the statement. Staff with Health Sav ings Accounts can also use those funds to cover flights, mileage and hotel expenses.

IU-sponsored insur ance will continue to cover contraceptives, including Plan B, as well as abortions. It does not matter if the abortion is a medical or elective pro cedure, according to the statement.

“It allows greater flex ibility for our employ ees to seek any covered medical care they can’t find locally,” IU spokes person Chuck Carney said.

The announcement comes as Indiana’s abor tion ban is currently be ing challenged in Indi ana court. The ban out lawed abortion unless the pregnant person’s health is at risk, if there is a fatal fetal abnormal ity, or in cases of rape or incest up to 10 weeks post-fertilization. The ban originally went into effect on Sept. 15.

On Sept. 22, Special Judge Kelsey B. Hanlon ruled that abortions can resume in Indiana while litigation continues, at least temporarily restor ing the right to abortion.

Victims need to be heard without consequences.

By Maria McComish mwoodmcc@iu.edu | @mccomish_maria

Editor’s Note: This story includes mention of sexual violence.

In recent years, assault victims are coming forward more frequently.

When shar ing their stories, it is common for those victims to experi ence additional abuse at the hands of the public, so this suspicion and distrust can si lence them in the process.

It is time for that to stop.

In an excerpt of her new book of essays titled “Making a Scene,” actor Constance Wu talks about the time she was raped at the start of her ca reer.

She lays out a situation where she was assaulted by an aspiring novelist named Ty on their second date.

“I felt a twinge of warning in my gut, but I ignored it — he didn’t look threatening or shady in any way, and if you had been there, you would have agreed,” Wu wrote in ref erence to being invited to his place.

When Wu asked Ty to stop forcing himself on her, he did not.

“Some people say that I should have fought back against Ty,” Wu wrote. “If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t change how I react ed that night. Because when I think about the girl I was back then, I understand what she was going through.”

Many will resonate with this feeling all too well. Most of the women in my life have a similar story to tell, and I have yet to meet a single woman who has not heard

someone else’s story.

The hours I have spent re living incidents where I could have been a different person — a stronger person — are countless. I should have told someone, or I should have run away screaming and crying. I should have done something.

Despite the girl I was, de spite the red flags I ignored, despite the way my caution never grew, nothing would have stopped those men from crossing every boundary.

This is the most difficult truth to come to. Some peo ple are just vile.

Wu also opened up about

her experience on the ABC sitcom “Fresh Off the Boat” when a producer sexually ha rassed her. He demanded she wear short skirts, have long hair and send him selfies late at night.

“I also felt guilty because I felt like I was playing into it. I’ve got to pretend I’m part of the boys’ club,” Wu said in an interview on “Red Table Talk.”

As a teenager, I loved it when boys would call me “cool” or “different,” and I would force myself to shut down when my guy friends would ask personal ques tions about my body or the way I spent my free time. I

was often the punchline in sexual jokes and was made fun of if I had a negative reac tion.

I remember one incident when I was slapped on my lower back by a close friend because I was “sitting like a slut.” Another time, a friend I trusted implicitly touched my thigh and asked me where I shaved.

I was sexualized for my ethnicity, my history, my sexual orientation, for things I did not even know could be sexualized. I felt useless with out validation because my body was my only worth.

The worst part about it

is, I’m not even sure those people remember doing this to me. I’m not sure they have ever thought twice about it, but I carry it with me wher ever I go. It feels like a tattoo I never asked for, but everyone else can see.

Looking back, I do not feel shame for the girl I was then. I feel sympathy. She thought if she smiled through the harassment, assault and disgusting comments, if she laughed it off, men would start to respect her.

She thought maybe she would be viewed as a person. Maybe she would feel like a person.

“In a strange way I didn’t want to fight back and make a scene,” Wu wrote. “It was a quiet experience.”

Victims coming forward in unity can make these ex periences less quiet. They can push for complete disruption of comfortability in the life of an abuser. The years have taught me to be vocal about what happened to me, to rec ognize that I am not at fault and I did not deserve any of it.

I only hope people con tinue to share their stories and are met with solidarity and love for themselves. It is what every victim deserves.

Pieper Lewis sentenced for stabbing her alleged rapist

By Sade Ajishegiri fosajish@iu.edu

On Sept.13 2022, 17-yearold Pieper Lewis was ordered to pay $150,000 to the fam ily of the man she said raped her. She was also sentenced to five years in a correction al facility, along with 1,200 hours of community service.

Lewis has already spent two years locked up waiting for her hearing and subse quent sentencing.

Lewis was only 15 years old when she found herself on the run from what she says was an abusive home life. According to the New York Times, her witness statement said she had been bouncing from living situa tion to living situation, trying to find some kind of stability.

Her witness statement also described two men of fering her a place to stay dur ing a period when she was sleeping in an apartment building hallway. She left the first man when he turned out to be violent and abusive.

The second man was Christopher Brown, a 28-year-old whom she said she thought of as her boy friend. When he began to show the same violent, sexu ally abusive behavior, she stayed.

VOICES

Homelessness dispropor tionately affects people of color, making up about 40% of America’s homeless pop ulation despite only being around 13% of the general population.

Being young, Black and without a place to live is a combination of circumstanc es that put Lewis in danger. A combination that no doubt made her pause and weigh her options when she decid ed to stay with Brown.

According to the same Times article, Lewis’ state ment said Brown began list ing her on dating sites, forc ing her to have sex with men for money.

Zachary Brooks, a 37-year-old man with chil dren of his own, was one such alleged customer. Lewis said she was raped by him on several occasions before the night she finally killed him — all of which she was under nonconsensual intoxication, she says in her statement ac cording to the Times.

On May 31, 2022, Brown tried to coerce her, as she said was common, to go to Brooks’ apartment. When she resisted, she said Brown pressed a knife to her throat, threatening until she agreed to go.

That night, after waking

from another drug-induced haze, she saw Brooks sleep ing and said she realized she’d been raped yet again. According to the Des Moines Register, Lewis’ plea agree ment states she took a knife from the nightstand and stabbed him 30 times.

Lewis isn’t the only sex trafficking victim who killed her abuser and was treated just as a criminal.

In 1995, the then-teenage Sarah Kruzan was sentenced to life in prison for shoot ing and killing her trafficker, serving almost 20 years in prison before she was re leased under California Gov ernor Gavin Newsom.

She said the American justice system isn’t properly able to handle the “complex and compounded trauma” marking so many who pass through it.

But how many stories like Pieper Lewis’ end not with the victim prevailing over their trafficker, but instead with their own death?

So many women of color caught up in human traffick ing go missing, are murdered and end up as another un named statistic. But should a victim who ended their abuse through a crime be treated the same as any other criminal?

Black Film Archive creator Maya Cade concludes IU Cinema project

By Maria McComish mwoodmcc@iu.edu | @mccomish_maria

Indiana University Cin ema welcomed Maya Cade, the creator and curator of the Black Film Archive, as part of the Jorgenson Guest Filmmaker Lecture Series on Friday, Sept. 30. Cade discussed her inspiration behind the project as well as the movies that caused her to fall in love with motion picture media.

The Black Film Archive is a living register of Black films. It includes films made from 1898 to 1989. Cade be gan building it in June 2020 and launched it in August 2021. Every description is re searched and written by her.

Along with being the creator of the Black Film Ar chive, Cade curated five pro grams for IU Cinema as an introduction to her project “Home Is Where the Heart Is: Black Cinema’s Explora tion of Home.” It took place throughout the month of

September and focused on films made since 1979 that expressed the idea of “home.”

She sat down with past Jorgenson guest and film maker Isabel Sandoval on Friday to discuss the cre ation of the Black Film Ar chive, along with other pas sions.

Cade said often she would hear about the scar city of Black film collections when asked about her initial motivations.

“I don’t blame people for not knowing something,” Cade said, referencing the limited knowledge the gen eral public may have on Black media. “I think that’s a vicious way to look at the world.”

She said it was that opti mism which helped her cu rate the archive.

Cade said she wanted to be able to sup ply people with the resourc es to consume Black films. She has done just that as the site now offers hundreds of

movies.

Cade’s definition of Black film has admittedly expand ed since the launch of the site, her technical term now being any movie which has something to say about the Black experience.

She discussed how Black filmmakers and actors have been able to define them selves in more expansive ways, which leads to a wider range of what classifies as a film that would belong in the Black Film Archive. To her, this is something both fasci nating and monumental to witness.

Cade said every reaction came as a surprise follow ing the release of the archive. She did not consider how it would be received and was just happy to see it reach her desired audience.

“We all have to do our part,” Cade said, in refer ence to people’s rediscovery of decades-old Black films. “Black film’s future requires us all to care.”

LLUSTRATION BY JACK DONNELLY

ily is asking for donations to help with Henderson’s medical bills and support them during their loss of in come.

The GoFundMe has raised $33,662 of its $50,000 goal at the time of publica tion.

Henderson was injured during a crash last Friday at May’s Greenhouse in Bloomington where he works, according to the Go FundMe. After Henderson arrived at the greenhouse, a multi-vehicle accident oc curred on Old State Road 37. The accident sent a dump truck swerving off the

road and running over Hen derson, who was on a John Deer Gator utility vehicle at the time.

The force of the impact pushed Henderson and the utility vehicle through a wall of the greenhouse building, pinning Henderson under the dump truck. Henderson suffered multiple injuries including a broken back and ribs, a collapsed lung, a per forated bladder, a shattered pelvis and broken bones in his leg and foot, as well as kidney and liver damage, according to the GoFundMe page.

Henderson’s spleen also had to be removed.

Indiana is proclaiming itself as the hunted this sea son.

Every team in the Big Ten is looking up at the Hoo siers in the preseason rank ings, trying to topple a team with national title hopes. Johnson, as the point guard, is Indiana’s floor general, meaning he’s shouldering a lot of the expectations sur rounding the program.

“I just try to get every body to be on the same page,” Johnson said. “Every day, we got to come every day ready to practice. Every game is gonna be a lesson.”

Under head coach Mike Woodson, Johnson said he’s grown as a leader. Last year he led the team on the court down the stretch, propelling them to the Hoosiers’ first postseason bid in six years.

“Guys listen to me,” John son said. “I was doing the right things on and off the court at that moment in time.”

Woodson said he expects a lot out of Johnson, who most likely caught more flak from the coaching staff than anyone else on the team last

season.

In April, Johnson was ar rested and was preliminarily charged with reckless driv ing and resisting law en forcement. He pled guilty to the charge of reckless driv ing in August, while the lat ter charge was dropped.

Around 3 a.m. April 3, Johnson had been seen in a car going 90 mph down North Walnut Street, accord ing to an incident report. The police said they saw Johnson, the driver, switch seats with another passen ger once the car pulled over after initially refusing to stop.

Johnson received a 60day suspended sentence, meaning he will not serve any jail time so long as he completes the 360 days of unsupervised probation and 50 hours of community service also included in the sentence.

“X hung in there with me,” Woodson said. “He fought me at times, but it worked out well for him at the end and for our ball club.”

This summer, Woodson said Johnson was one of the team’s brightest spots in how he practiced and improved. But he’s also had to do a lot of maturing.

“X has grown a lot, based on the things that he's done this summer,” Woodson said. “He's put himself in a won derful position with me being the coach. I like everything about what X is doing now, because he is doing the right things on and off the court.”

Although Johnson avoid ed any major punishment or suspension, he did get his car taken away. Woodson said he wasn’t allowed to drive it this year, so he left it at home in Virginia.

Johnson said he under stands this punishment. He’s getting rides from teammates when he needs them, and he’s listening to what Wood son is telling him. He’s also aware how much worse the incident could’ve been, say ing it could have gone “way left.”

Behind junior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, John son might be the Hoosiers’

second-best player. The two spend a lot of time together, both on and off the court, and Johnson said their connec tion is stronger for it.

“I’m his point guard,” Johnson said. “He's one of my responsibilities. Let him know, get him to play hard every possession and go fin ish at the rim.”

In the back of Johnson’s mind is the NCAA Tourna ment game against Saint Mary’s College. The Hoosiers were embarrassed by the Gaels, blown out 82-53 on the national stage after barely sneaking into the main draw of the tournament. Johnson scored 11 points in 25 min utes.

He wants to lead Indiana back to that stage and return to the tournament in much more convincing fashion to avenge that loss.

“You can never lose track of that,” Johnson said. “It was best to make the tournament. But when it all comes down to it, we got to know that we pretty much didn't deserve to be in that position. Hon estly.”

Gentry Keener is a sophomore studying journalism and political science.

How often have you been told that you must go to col lege to get a good job?

From a young age, it is instilled in us that we must attend college. We are pro grammed to believe that there is only one path we can take in life. We must pay thousands of dollars to at tend an institution that will

spit us out into the corporate world, and the more money you pay, the better job you’ll receive.

That simply isn’t true.

I don’t care what your parents tell you, what your teachers tell you or what so ciety tells you. College isn’t for everyone, and it isn’t the only path.

When I was in high school, my mom encour aged me to take a gap year. She could tell I was hesitant

about where to go and what degree to study. I wanted to travel and write, so I had only mapped it out that far. How ever, I refused to take her up on the offer. I felt that if I were to take a gap year, I would have failed at life. I would graduate at a different time than my friends, prolong my schooling one year further, and I wouldn’t have done what was expected.

But the thing is, none of that is true. It is just what

JARED’S JOURNAL

society conditioned me to believe.

Although I ended up lov ing the school I chose, a gap year would have benefitted me exceptionally.

It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted, and I have considered changing my major many times. That gap year would have given me the chance to gain expe rience in the real world and figure out how I felt about certain careers before I spent

thousands of dollars pursu ing a major.

Another reason I know that gap year would have helped is I still think about dropping out daily.

Why? As a travel journal ist, I feel that experience is more important than a de gree. Eventually, when I ap ply for a job, the employer will look at my portfolio of work and my experiences. So, as I sit in class, I wonder why I am here and not out

traveling the world to build my portfolio.

This can be applied to so many careers.

Hundreds of jobs allow people to make a livable wage, some higher than just livable, but don’t require a college degree.

You could become a flight attendant and make any where from $50k-118k a year, according to salary.com. That is a higher salary than a good portion of degreerequired jobs. Additionally, you could be a firefighter and make anywhere from $53k92k.

There are so many paths you can take other than college. Social media has opened a door for hundreds of new jobs, between be coming an influencer, do ing freelance work or even something as simple as sell ing clothes online.

The truth is, some people simply don’t belong at col lege. Whether it is the social environment or the academ ic rigor, sometimes it just isn’t meant to be. If I didn’t genuinely enjoy learning and engaging in classes, there is no way I would have made it this far.

The pressure to remain in college, whether from society or your parents, builds up for years. However, most of the time, if you feel like college isn’t for you, you’re probably right. You know yourself bet ter than anyone, so don’t let anyone pressure you into go ing or even staying.

Of course, you should always decide a plan before committing to the action, but don’t pressure yourself to stay just because society tells you should.

FROM KATHLEEN’S KEYBOARD

Kathleen Tran (she/her) is a freshman studying journalism with a minor in psychology.

As classes inch closer to the end of the semester, more students begin to sac rifice their mental health to ace their exams, but at what cost?

It has become part of the college culture to pull all-nighters, chug energy drinks and caffeine and skip other classes in order to study for exams. Howev er, it is important to still pri oritize your well-being be cause doing such unhealthy actions isn’t sustainable and won’t always guarantee getting a decent grade.

Sleep is a basic concept to understand, but many college students do not fol low the guidelines to getting the sleep their body needs.

It does take time to journal. For those who are always in a time crunch, I recommend The Five Min ute Journal, which provides guided exercises to “en hance” oneself. It is loved by many because it shifts focus onto one’s goals and calms the mind by reflect ing on the day.

There are even apps to help you maintain your seasonal care during exam season. If journaling in a notebook with a pen is not your thing, Day One Journal is available for download on iPhones, Androids and Macs with various journal ing prompts to choose from.

to vote for Biden again.

Ask yourself a question: What would it take for a can didate to lose my vote?

What is your dealbreak er? Could you vote for a candidate who may have killed hundreds of dogs? Or an anti-abortion candidate who may have paid for his ex-girlfriend’s abortion? How about someone who has allegedly committed sexual assault? Or someone who has in the past said ap proving things about Nazis?

These aren’t meaning less questions. All these hy potheticals will either be on ballots this November or in 2024.

It was announced this past week that U.S. Senate candidate Mehmet Oz al legedly oversaw the deaths of over 300 dogs from 1989 to 2010 in the process of do ing experimental research at the Columbia University Institute of Comparative Medicine.

But Oz was largely over shadowed by allegations that Georgia Senate candi date Herschel Walker paid for his former girlfriend’s abortion in 2009, despite being a strict opponent of

abortion. To make matters worse, Walker’s son, con servative gremlin Christian Walker, publicly criticized his father for essentially be ing an absentee parent and an alleged domestic abuser.

While I was witnessing all of this drama this week, a question kept gnawing at me: Does any of this matter? Are they going to lose votes over this?

It’s too soon to tell, but I personally see no reason why they would lose any votes. After all, the Walker campaign announced that after these allegations broke, Walker raised over $500,000 in less than a day, a record for the campaign.

And if you’re someone who seriously believes John Fetterman, Oz’s opponent in the Senate race in Penn sylvania, is a radical socialist determined to establish the Soviet Republic of Penn sylvania or something, why would some puppies get in the way of preventing that from happening?

Scandals used to mat ter, or, at any rate, seemed to matter. Bill Clinton got away with everything, but Al Franken was forced to resign from being a senator in dis grace. So, maybe scandals sometimes matter?

They certainly don’t matter for Donald Trump. In Trump’s own words, he could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and he wouldn’t lose any votes. And I believe that’s true. Numerous sexual assault allegations, Trump’s history of racism, an insur rection – none of this has ever seemed to bother a Trump supporter.

So far, I’ve mostly fo cused on Republican vot ers, but Democratic voters should face these questions as well. As I was considering these questions I had to own up to some guilt: I voted for Joe Biden despite his own pitfalls.

Others, I assume, voted the same way with the same knowledge. During the 2020 election, nothing he did seemed to matter to me – I wanted Donald Trump to lose, by any means neces sary. Nothing else mattered; not Biden’s sexual assault allegations, not his friend ship with segregationists in the 1970s, not his mediocre policy proposals, nothing. Trump had to lose.

I sound like a liberal with no principles, and maybe I was two years ago. I know today that I’m uncertain whether I could bring myself

I’ve come to realize that most political scandals don’t seem to matter anymore. Our “democracy” gives us two horrible candidates with walk-in closets full of skeletons and asks us which one we want to oppress us for the next four years.

This is no democracy! Americans need to realize that this country is a dicta torship of the unaccount able wealthy. The rich do what they want with im punity in this country and then call on us to vote for the “lesser evil.”

In Arizona, the Repub licans have put up Blake Masters as their Senate can didate, a man who wrote fascistic essays in college featuring approving quotes from Nazi war criminals. He hasn’t grown too much as a person since then.

Ah, but this is a democracy! Vote for his opponent, Mark Kelly, the moderate.

It is like asking what you would prefer to eat: a plain cheese sandwich, or sand.

I, for one, am tired of eat ing plain cheese sandwich es. A true democracy would offer us more than just sand as an alternative.

According to the Journal of Adolescent Health, 68% of students pull all-nighters due to stress about school and life, and for 20% of them, this occurs once a week. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, when students sleep the proper amount of eight to 10 hours at night, it helps them stay focused during the day and improves their concentration and academ ic performance.

Now, did I think it was re dundant or repetitive when a teacher would remind us to get a good night’s rest before an exam? Yes. But later, I learned how much more productive I was and the amount of information I could retain when I was not sleep deprived.

Sleeping is just one of the numerous ways we can take care of ourselves dur ing exam season. For many, seasonal care is different for everyone, but for those who do not know where to start, an easy one is journaling.

According to a Harvard Business School study, daily journaling increased academic performance by nearly 25%.

Journaling, especially during exam season, is usually my go-to to relieve stress. When I write all my thoughts onto paper, it al most feels like the stress is exiting from my brain and onto the paper. I can feel

Another form of sea sonal care is by physically working the stress out. Mayo Clinic said exercis ing releases the feel-good endorphins, which reduces the symptoms of depres sion and anxiety. It can also help you gain confidence to meet your goals, giving you the confidence to study and pass your exams.

The Student Recreation al Sports Center provides all the workout spaces and equipment you need. The center is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Its weekend hours are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and 8.am. to 11 p.m. on Sunday.

The SRSC also hosts dif ferent group exercises every day of the week. One of my favorite classes to attend is yoga. The American Osteo pathic Association said it can relieve chronic stress, relax the mind and sharpen concentration.

So, the next time you are thinking about pull ing an all-nighter or stay ing at the Wells Library all day to study for an exam, consider sleeping, journ aling, exercising or doing yoga instead. This will not only maintain your mental health, but it will maximize your abilities to be produc tive and retain the informa tion you study.

Do political scandals even matter anymore? All-nighters aren’t worth it for an exam

The Matriarch releases EP encouraging growth

about moving on and look ing toward the future.

“It’s about empowering yourself and moving on from whoever the person was in your life before,” Hockemey er said.

Benoit said each of the five songs represent a differ ent side of the band mem bers.

Benoit said the band wanted the EP, along with the cover artwork by Zoey Kay len, to show what The Matri arch is like.

She said the first song on the EP represents what it would sound like while on the way to The Matriarch, as the band sees it as a place within them. “Drunk and Lonely,” the second song on the EP, is what is heard upon arrival. The third song, “Re spect,” plays a crucial part of The Matriarch as they said they have experiences with the patriarchy, Benoit said.

months after starting it, they were all in a different place emotionally.

Erftenbeck said the band tried to make each song stand out, without similar structure or sound. She said writing songs was a thera peutic experience of being authentic and opening up with her band members.

While recording in the studio, Erftenbeck said she had to unlearn self-critical behaviors and accept that she can’t be perfect.

“I don’t like perfection ism anyways, so I was trying to stray away from that, and learn to like little imperfec tions, or if I don’t like them, at least accept them and not be rude to myself about it,” Erftenbeck said.

Babcock said she was ap prehensive of working with a male engineer but ended up enjoying the experience with Damion Schiralli at Russian Recording.

The Matriarch released its first EP, “Welcome to The Matriarch,” on Oct. 8.

The indie pop and rock band will perform the EP’s five songs at Blockhouse Bar on Oct. 15 after Nic Siemer and The Croakes perform.

Nic Siemer will open at 8:30 p.m., followed by The

Croakes. Doors open at 7 p.m. and karaoke will fol low The Matriarch’s perfor mance.

Hockemeyer said the band has always wanted to perform only original music during a performance and this EP has brought them closer to that dream.

“This EP comes from a place of emotion, all of it comes from trying to express

something that maybe you do or don’t know how to ex press,” Hockemeyer said.

Guitarist Mal Benoit said “Welcome to The Matriarch” is about empowerment of growth. The band formed a year ago after vocalist Al Erftenbeck was convinced to sing in front of a crowd and drummer Mal Babcock taught herself how to play drums.

The oldest song on the al bum was written in January, but the band started to focus writing its EP once its single, “Best Wishes,” was released on May 15.

Each song was a collabo ration between all members except “Drunk and Lonely,” which was written by their friend Sophie DeFrench.

Bassist Jo Hockemeyer said “Drunk and Lonely” is

COLUMN: 5 years after ‘Columbus,’ the film’s impact is stronger than ever

By Chloe Fulk cdfulk@iu.edu

Five years ago, when I was just 15 years old, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.

At the time, my interest in film was growing. I knew I’d love to make a career out of it but didn’t think it was pos sible given that I was from rural Indiana and had no connections. It was a pipe dream I pushed to the side.

Then “Columbus,” a film shot entirely in Columbus, Indiana, and directed by vid eo-essayist Kogonada, was released in August 2017.

The film follows two lost

souls who meet by chance in — you guessed it — Co lumbus. Jin, the son of an architecture scholar, and Casey, a young architecture enthusiast, bond over the city’s modernist landmarks and their own parental problems. But, the film is so much more than a quiet rumination on generational trauma.

In short, the film changed my life.

Kogonada’s validation of Casey’s passion for archi tecture validated my pas sion for film and gave me the push I needed to pursue it. His poetic portrait of the small Indiana town showed

that even the seemingly mundane can be incredibly beautiful.

It’s astonishing how a quiet, minimalistic film about a place in rural Indi ana has touched and con nected with people from all over the world. Letterboxd reviews and the social media response to the film shows that. People from all around the world have fallen in love with its charm.

On Sept. 27, for the fifth anniversary of the film’s re lease, Kogonada and the two leads, John Cho and Haley Lu Richardson, returned to Columbus for a conversation at North Christian Church, one of the locations in the film. When I heard about it, I knew I would never forgive myself if I didn’t go, even if it was an hour and a half away.

As soon as I pulled into the parking lot, I was struck with giddy excitement like a child. In that moment, ev erything suddenly felt real, and I understood the sig nificance of what was about to happen. After five years of admiring and turning to this film for comfort, I would have the chance to see the people who brought “Co lumbus” to life in person.

Once inside, the atmo sphere was sophisticated yet lively. I began to understand how much this film meant not just to me and the people I’ve seen rave about it on line, but to the residents of Columbus too.

Many attendees knew

each other and were chat ting beforehand. During the conversation, Richardson remembered the Columbus locals who helped her feel welcome when they were filming. She made sure to give a special shoutout to the two men who taught her how to smoke, which her character does in the film.

While I was anxiously waiting for the conversa tion to start, I overheard the person next to me mention they had flown from Cali fornia to be at the event. If that doesn’t showcase how impactful this film has been on people, I don’t know what will.

After the conversation was over, a Q&A began. Typi cally, I would never partici pate, but I knew I needed to. I shakily spoke into the micro phone and mustered up the courage to ask them how the film had changed their lives in the five years since it was released. If I’m being honest, I was so overwhelmingly ex cited I don’t remember their responses very well. But, the satisfaction I felt in that fullcircle moment is something I will never forget.

This event showed how profound the sense of com munity and connection are in both the film itself and its legacy. Much like the city it takes place in, the quiet beauty of “Columbus” is sure to leave an impact on anyone who comes across it, whether that’s today or 50 years in the future.

Erftenbeck said “Sun Song,” the fourth song, is about growth and loving yourself. She said the last song, “A Story Untold (222),” resembles the welcoming space of The Matriarch.

Benoit said “A Story Un told (222)” captures the EP’s ethos. With this song, the band experimented instru mentally with a synthesizer, organ, flute and tambourine.

The song is about growing up. Benoit said when they finished writing the song

“I feel like every time we write a song together, we lev el up,” Babcock said.

Babcock said she grew up writing and journaling and enjoyed the process with her bandmates. The vulnerable process allowed her to get to know and understand them better.

“I’m really thankful to be playing with all non-men and be able to contribute that to the music scene,” Hockemeyer said.

New photography exhibit opens at McCalla School

By Anne Hassfurder anhassfu@iu.edu

The Kinsey Institute is holding the “Bettina Rhe ims: Everything All at Once” exhibit at the McCalla School from noon to 7 p.m. on Thursdays and at select times until Nov. 9. This dis play is a collection of Bettina Rheims’ art as a French artist and commercial photogra pher. She is recognized for her work depicting the ex ploration of nudity, sexual ity, gender and power.

The exhibit consists of 12 images exploring the con cept of gender identity. The images deconstruct tradi tional society-driven gen der stereotypes and instead allow the viewer to see the subject as they have chosen to present themselves.

“This decision they have made, to present themselves as they chose, lends power to their presentation, and view ers can’t help but admire and wonder more about their lives,” Alisha Beard, the engagement coordinator for University Collections at IU, said in an email.

All images in the exhibit come from Rheims’ “Mod ern Lovers” and “Espionnes” series shot in Europe from 1989 to 1991 during the height of the AIDS crisis, and they focus on the idea of ex ploring gender.

“One of the most grati

fying parts of hosting the Rheims exhibit is learning how people respond to the images,” Brian Woodman, the associate director of Uni versity Collections at IU, said in an email. “Some people focus on the beauty of the photographs, but others re spond very personally, see ing themselves reflected in those images.”

The exhibit not only fea tures a line of images but also an interactive aspect, said Rebecca Fasman, the curator at the Kinsey Insti tute. Fasman said the photo gallery also includes a sepa rate reading nook with a wall of questions where viewers can read stories of gender exploration, as well as share their own, and a free library with zines and other books from the Kinsey Institute that focus on gender identity.

“And so, we are always looking to capture more sto ries and learn more about humanity through our re search and collections,” Fas man said.

The Rheims photo gallery is one of many the Kinsey In stitute has curated. The insti tute hosts several collections that explore the concept of gender and sexuality in or der to promote new thoughts and discussions regarding these ideas.

Any questions regarding the gallery can be directed to kinsey@indiana.edu.

Curating a fabulous fall tailgate menu

By Ellie Albin ealbin@iu.edu | @@EllieAlbin1 Illustration by Cailin O’Malley caiomall@iu.edu | @cailingomalley

Fall and football go hand in hand. Even though the season technically gets un derway during the summer, it isn’t until the leaves turn crimson and the breeze kicks in that football games truly become the beautiful weekend ritual we know them to be.

One of the most important parts of the perfect fall football weekend is the tail gate. But, being college students, tailgate menus can fall a little flat and become extremely uncreative. These goodies are bound to spice up your menu and please all football fans, from college kids to visiting parents:

Lots of hot drinks

It’s chilly season! People are about to break out their sweatshirts and scarves, so there needs to be drinks that complement that. Make sure to bring thermoses full of piping hot drinks like tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Maybe even bring some mini marshmallows along.

Homemade brownies

I know, I know — homemade brownies? For a tailgate? Who cares! But that’s where I have to disagree. Sure, you could go to Kroger and buy a box of brownies. Or — a night or two before the game — you could bake a batch with your besties and cut them into football-shaped masterpieces. And, no, you don’t need a cookie cutter: draw a football on a piece of paper, cut it out and trace a knife around it as you cut the brownies. You’ll be left with a no-mess treat that doesn’t need any utensils, making it perfect for a tailgate.

Cream and crimson potato salad

I’ll admit that I just came up with this stunning idea, and, I’ve got to say, I’m pretty proud of it. The mayo is the “cream” and — if you use red potatoes — they can act as the “crimson.” Just like that, the fan-favorite tailgate dish gets an IU-themed update.

Dips, dips and more dips

People love dip. They just do. But all dips are not created equal to everyone — for instance, I simply don’t like French onion dip. Someone else at the tailgate probably will, though, so it needs to be present. Just make sure you’re covering all your dipping bases: something creamy, something refreshing and — if you’re feeling experimental — something sweet. My recommendations include a cream cheese-based dip, cookie dough dip and salsa, complete with a variety of items like pretzels, graham crackers and tortilla chips.

A giant sandwich

This is something that somehow both disgusts and impresses me to no end. I don’t really eat meat, but I do know that people go feral for a loaded sub sandwich — so why not make the biggest one you possibly can? Go to the store and find the biggest piece of bread you can find, then proceed to load it up with all the fixings: deli meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, mustard — whatever makes your heart sing.

Indiana showcases skills in Hoosier Hysteria event

By Will Foley wtfoley@iu.edu | @foles24

The Indiana men’s and women’s basketball pro grams hosted the annual Hoosier Hysteria event Oct. 7. The teams participated in a skills challenge and 3-point contest before the men’s team played a scrim mage.

The event started with player and coach introduc tions, each with their own walkout song. The Hoosiers received a warm welcome from the Indiana crowd, who are already eager for the season one month away.

Women’s head coach Teri Moren came out in style, sit ting in a throwback convert ible car and wearing a senior cornerback Tiawan Mullen Indiana football jersey. In troduced as the “greatest coach in Indiana women’s basketball history,” Moren challenged the crowd for this season.

“If you haven’t (attended a game), here’s your invite,” Moren said. “You better show up.”

When asked about the team’s goals for this sea son, Moren responded with lofty expectations as usual. “Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four and one of those,” she said, pointing to the men’s program’s five national title banners.

Men’s head coach Mike Woodson came out similarly to Moren — in a specialized

convertible of his own. He, too, provided some memo rable words for Hoosier fans.

“(We expect) a Big Ten title and a national title,” Woodson said. “Indiana basketball is, excuse my lan guage, the shit.”

The 3-point contest was the first event, and the Hoo siers immediately turned heads. Senior guards Sara Scalia and Xavier Johnson went first. Scalia exemplified her specialty by draining 15 of 25 threes, and Johnson hit 12 to total 27 as a team.

Junior guard Sydney Par rish followed Scalia by sink ing 14 threes of her own while freshman guard CJ Gunn made 11 to total 25 threes. Both in their first seasons with the program as transfers, Parrish and Scalia displayed how Indiana can be more of a threat from the perimeter.

Junior guard Chloe Moore-McNeil proceeded to have the best shooting per formance of the night, mak ing 18 of her 25 threes, in cluding a stretch of eight in a row. Senior forward Miller Kopp made 14 for the pair to total 32 — the highest of the night.

Freshman and sopho more guards Yarden Garzon and Tamar Bates concluded the first round, making eight and 13 threes, respectively.

The Scalia - Johnson duo and Moore-McNeil - Kopp duo advanced to the final round, and it was the latter

who came out victorious.

Scalia made 17 combined with Johnson’s 10 to total 27, but Kopp’s 16 makes and Moore-McNeil's 12 helped the duo narrowly win the contest with 28 threes.

The skills challenge re quired makes from the base line, elbow, 3-point line and a half-court make. Graduate students guard Grace Berger and forward Alyssa Geary, senior forward Mackenzie Holmes and sophomore guard Kaitlin Peterson com peted as the women’s par ticipants. Senior, junior and freshman forwards Race Thompson, Jordan Geron imo and Malik Reneau as well as freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino competed for the men’s team.

Each team competed alongside an alumnus. Berger, Peterson and Geary all made the half-courter for their teams, but it was Thompson and Holmes who came out on top with former Hoosier player Collin Hart man.

Indiana won’t grace Branch McCracken Court in front of the public for an other month.

FOOTBALL

Indiana offense falls dormant in the second half

came out in the second half looking like they adjusted to Indiana’s offense.

After the game, Bazelak said the Wolverines had better coverage in the sec ond half, saying his team wasn’t able to predict what kind of coverage the Michi gan defense was going to play.

A big punt return for Michigan meant it would begin the drive in Indiana territory. Threatening to ex tend the lead to two scores, McCarthy's throw toward the end zone was bobbled up, and Hoosiers senior safety Devon Matthews came down with the ball, securing the interception for Indiana.

elak and the Wolverine's pass rush took advantage.

The Michigan defense sacked Bazelak seven times and added four quarter back hurries. The majority of those plays came on nonblitzing defensive plays when they had fewer play ers going after the quarter back than the Hoosiers had blocking.

“It was pretty simple stuff,” Bazelak said after the game. “Four man, five man rushing”

Bazelak understands there were manageable formations shown by the Michigan defense, saying they didn’t bring “exotic” blitzes.

It was a tale of two halves Saturday, starting with Indi ana football hanging tough with the No. 4 Wolverines but ending with the dam that is Indiana’s offensive line breaking loose. For the second week in a row, the Hoosier’s offense went stag nant in the second half, los ing 31-10.

The Wolverines got off to a quick start after a 50-yard run combined with a 1-yard touchdown run by Michi gan’s junior running back Blake Corum put Indiana in an early 7-0 hole just three minutes into the game.

On its second offen sive drive, Indiana found luck on the outside of the

field, attacking Michigan’s secondary. Led by junior receiver Cam Camper and senior running back Josh Henderson, the Hoosiers answered with a touch down to tie it up.

Both teams traded field goals between the first and second quarter as Indiana managed to keep it close with the fourth-best team in the nation.

Indiana's up-tempo of fensive pace gave Michi gan’s defense some prob lems early. Bazelak's ability to find holes in the Wolver ine's secondary paired with Michigan’s lack of disci pline resulting in penalties made the Hoosiers’ offense operate with ease.

After a Bazelak inter ception midway through

the second quarter, Michi gan found itself in the red zone threatened to retake the lead. What looked like 7 easy points quickly turned into 3 which — af ter a blocked 26-yard field goal — turned into zero in a huge goal line stand from Indiana’s defensive and special teams units.

On the corresponding drive, Indiana — led by a 39-yard run from freshman Jaylin Lucas — marched down the field on Michi gan’s defense. The Hoosiers found themselves in the red zone, not only threatening, but bound to take their first lead of the game.

However, a blocked Campbell field goal kick just after they blocked Michigan’s kick left each

drive scoreless. A 10-10 tie was where the score re mained going into the sec ond half.

After one half of football, it was apparent that Michi gan was anxious to get back into the locker room and re group. While Indiana never wanted the half to stop as they stood up to the chal lenge, hanging tough with the Wolverines.

Both teams went on a scoring drought with 12:08 remaining in the second quarter. The drought came to an abrupt end with 7:39 left in the third quarter when Michigan sophomore quarterback J.J. McCarthy found senior receiver Cor nelius Johnson, giving the Wolverines a 7-point lead.

Michigan's defense

Going into the fourth quarter, Indiana hung around with the Wolverines but trailed 17-10.

After both teams trad ed punts, Michigan made headway into Indiana ter ritory thanks partially to its running game.

McCarthy found senior tight end Luke Schoonmak er in the end zone to give the Wolverines their biggest lead of the game, 24-10. On the next Michigan drive, another McCarthy to John son connection delivered the dagger to the Hoosiers’ heart.

After another score by the Wolverines, the Hoo siers went on to lose 31-10 on homecoming weekend.

Indiana’s offense had success challenging Michi gan’s defense with up-tem po play, but the offensive line failed to protect Baz

As a result of the highpressure situations faced by Bazelak, the Hoosiers of fense was shut down. They were outgunned 263 yards to just 29 in the second half and had -12 yards in the fourth quarter.

“We’re not getting the job done there,” Indiana head coach Tom Allen said on the offensive line. “We didn’t finish.”

For the second consecu tive week, Indiana's offense was shut out in the second half.

Discouraged by his team’s performance, Allen said the offensive staff was failing to make adjustments midgame, he puts blame on himself being unable to make that happen.

Now, a 3-3 record overall and 1-2 in the Big Ten, Indi ana returns to action next Saturday in Bloomington against Maryland.
