Friends, family remember professor Tim Baldwin as an inspiration

By Helen Rummel hrummel@iu.edu | @helenrummel

Tim Baldwin always roamed the halls with a smile on his face.

“You talk about half empty, half full,” his younger brother Ty Baldwin said. “He was way above threequarters full.”

Tim, a professor at the Kelley School of Business, died Oct. 10 at the age of 64. Tim’s friends and colleagues remember his fierce opti mism and tenacity in every aspect of his life. His family spoke of his innate ability to always bring fun and laugh ter into everyday activities

Those close to Tim recall his welcoming demeanor with everyone — whether they were old friends or strangers. Ty remembered how his older brother would make an effort to include him in their basketball matches, even though he was several years younger.

Tim’s wife, JoEllen, who met Tim at their alma mater Michigan State University, said most of all Tim was gra

cious.

“Everything that he did,” JoEllen said. “He did it with tremendous grace.”

Tim and his wife met on a hayride at Michigan State University and had been married for over 35 years. Their home is filled with photos Tim had taken throughout the years of their family and friends.

He was a lover of lunch at Lennie’s — but also Up town Cafe. He hosted many annual gatherings at his family’s home complete with fireworks and magic shows. “The Great Timbini” would sometimes make an appearance, as many called him when showing off his magic tricks. He was a loyal fan of every IU sport, but he notably loved to chat about Hoosiers basketball.

Tim first began his career at IU in 1987 and had been at the university ever since. He mentored countless stu dents during his time at IU both in and outside of the management and entrepre neurship department. More

than anything, those students remember what his encour agement meant to them.

“I realize I am just one of hundreds of students, peers, coaches and executives whom Tim lightly helped along the way,” Ryan Luckey, Kel ley MBA alumnus, said in an email. “What was easy for him to give out meant the world to those of us who received it.”

In the spring of 2022, Tim served as a core member of Jennifer Park’s Ph.D. disserta tion committee — one of the last committees he would be a part of in his long career. Park, who is now an assis tant professor of instructional technology at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, recalled how she was hon ored to have Tim as a men tor, since he was an academic who shaped the very field she was in.

IU School of Medicine receives grant toward Alzheimer's research

By Mackenzie Lionberger mlionber@iu.edu | @Mackenzie_L42

The IU School of Medi cine received a $48.8 mil lion grant toward furthering research of different thera pies to treat Alzheimer's disease on Sept. 29.

This is the second larg est grant the school has received, dating back to 2016, when the program received a grant of $25 mil lion for further research on Alzheimer’s disease.

“This provides hope for some of the families who have been affected so deeply by their loved ones having this particular disease. It provides some hope for them that one day somebody may not have to go through that,” Adrian L. Oblak, Ph.D., assistant professor of radiology and imaging scientist and neu rodegenerative research at Stark Neuroscience Re search Institute, said.

After receiving this grant, the program’s goal is to create better mouse models that will be con ducted through clinical testing. Researchers are looking for a compound that controls protein fold ing, and the models have a phenotype that resembles Alzheimer's disease Oblak, said.

“This grant in particu lar forms the foundational work that would need to be done to understand both the overall genes that are involved in Alzheimer's dis ease and how those mani fests themselves in terms of disease progression as a phenotype,” Paul R. Territo, professor of medicine at IU and monitor for alzheimer’s disease and related demen tia, said.

One of the grant’s pur poses is to expand the 2016 research program which develops mouse models for

Armed MCCSC school officer debate continues

By Emma Uber emmauber@iu.edu | @EmmaUber7

The Monroe County Community School Cor poration voted to disarm School Resource Officers nearly a year and a half ago in May 2021. Yet, this de cision remains a point of controversy amongst the MCCSC community today, arising during the school board candidate forum and dominating the public comment portion of school board meetings.

Since the board’s 6-1 vote to bar SROs from car rying firearms, there have been three incidents of guns found on MCCSC property. In September 2021, a gun was found at Bloomington High School South. Just two weeks later, an airsoft pistol caused the school to go into lockdown. More recently, a Batchelor Middle School student was arrested Sept. 13 after an SRO confiscated a loaded gun the student brought on the bus.

Elizabeth Bullock, moth er of a BHSS sophomore, has been advocating for rearm ing SROs during the public comment portion of MCCSC school board meetings for over a year. At the Sept. 27 meeting, Bullock praised the school corporation’s han dling of the Batchelor Mid dle School incident but said the incident proves the need for a robust SROs force.

“I’m grateful the gun threat was mitigated quickly and that parents were in formed,” Bullock said. “That being said, I think this inci dent again highlights why we continue to have con cerns about the prevalence of guns in the hands of our children.”

Bullock said MCCSC hired armed security for

homecoming weekend events, a move she sup ported but said seemed hypocritical considering the board’s stance against arm ing SROs.

“This action seems a little incongruent with the board’s position on disarming School Resource Officers,” Bullock said. “This isn’t the first time that social events have included armed securi ty. So why is armed security for the school campus ap propriate for homecoming events but not for the school day?”

Prior to the board’s vote, two of the school corpora tion’s 15 SROs were armed.

The National Association of School Resource Officers and the Indiana School Re source Officers Association put out a joint statement May 20, 2021, condemning

the decision.

In addition to arming SROs, Bullock asked the MCCSC school board to consider a partnership with Bloomington Police Depart ment and Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. Bullock ac knowledged some people feel distrustful of law en forcement considering na tional movements against police brutality, but she cited the upcoming Nov. 8 sheriff election as a way for the community to vote for trustworthy leadership.

“I know there are strong feelings and stigma associ ated with law enforcement in our country, but I do be lieve it’s possible to collabo rate and address disparities and disproportionality if the right people are at the table,” Bullock said.

IU students discuss the importance of early voting

By Nadia Scharf njscharf@iu.edu | @nadiaascharf

Early in-person vot ing opened in Indiana on Wednesday, Oct. 12. That same day, several students gathered at Monroe Coun ty’s early voting center on South Walnut Street and spoke to the Indiana Daily Student about why they believe voting, and access to early voting, is impor tant.

Isabelle deCastro is a junior studying interna tional law and Spanish. She’s a Monroe County Democratic Precinct Com mittee Person for Bloom ington District 7, meaning she helps register and mo bilize voters in her district and the Democratic Party.

To deCastro, there’s a simple reason why stu dents should vote. IU has over 40 thousand students; that’s about half of Bloom ington’s population.

She organized an event to register voters, she said, and was surprised by the passion and activism dis played by the students she saw.

“When given the oppor tunity and taken seriously,” deCastro said, “students will use their voice to make a difference.”

There are so many stu dents with opinions on what’s going on politically, she said, who don’t real ize their voices matter. Her position with the Monroe County Democratic Party

has shown her local gov ernment does want to hear from students, and she’s hoping students vote so they can represent their IU community.

Ana Almanza, a junior majoring in political sci ence and Spanish, also spoke at the event. She said she sees voting as a funda mental right and, because there are still some people who face obstacles to vot ing, that it’s important to help people become edu cated on where they can vote and how to register.

Students should vote, Almanza said, because they’re the younger gen eration. It’s important to make sure students are represented on all lev els, as that’s how political change occurs.

“Our voices matter too,” Almanza said.

Almanza said she sees early voting as especially crucial because, ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, not everyone is able to get out to the polls. She believes it’s important to have that option to give people variety in how they can vote. Additionally, it helps eliminate obstacles from jobs or lack of trans portation, which is espe cially important in low-in come communities.

Almanza said, while she may have gone into the voting process with more knowledge than most stu dents because of her po litical science classes, she

feels personalized ballot voting guide websites pro vided valuable informa tion.

Beyond Wednesday’s event, other IU students have also begun voting early, many voting in plac es too far to travel to on Election Day. One of those students is Matt Levy, who voted in his home state of Ohio.

Levy, a sophomore informatics major, said when he voted, the polls were nearly empty and the process was quick and easy. He said he believes people should have access to early voting for the same reasons as Almanza, and he said that having more time gives people more flexibility.

When he’s looking at who to vote for, Levy said he tries to vote for can didates that most closely align with his values, which for him includes building public transportation and strengthening welfare pro grams. However, he also said that there may be cas es where he votes for one candidate to keep another he dislikes out of office.

To find out which can didates he wants to sup port, Levy said he looks at candidates’ positions, histories and campaign donors.

Early voting in Indiana ends at noon Nov. 7. Ex act dates and times can be found at Monroe County’s early voting website.

three minutes to speak dur ing the public comment pe riod of MCCSC school board meetings, and Bullock con cluded her time with a plea for the board to approve any resources possible to ensure school safety.

“The safety of our chil dren is a community issue, it’s not just a school prob lem,” Bullock said. “That means the community — all of us — need to come to gether. We’re all invested in this. We’re waiting. We’re ready to join you in protect ing our most vulnerable youth.”

Maria Douglas, another MCCSC parent, joined Bull ock in asking the board to revisit the issue of arming SROs. Like Bullock, Douglas has consistently spoken out about school safety, even taking a moment at the Sept.

27 meeting to recognize her one-year anniversary of ad vocating for school safety at board meetings.

Douglas said she felt dis appointed to hear school board candidates citing Florida research to support disarming SROs. Douglas said current school board candidates are continuing the current board’s rheto ric of citing data against the arming of SROs from states that lack Indiana’s extensive training laws.

“Remember that there can hardly be data on what violence has been deterred from SROs having all the tools that they need to do their job because it doesn’t actually happen,” Douglas said.

Douglas also said she supports expanding mental health resources and other

forms of gun violence pre vention.

“For me, this is a ‘yes and...’ situation,” Douglas said. “It’s not just arm the SROs and that’s it. I want ev ery precaution to be taken to protect our children and staff.”

Jenny Robinson, another MCCSC parent, offered a different perspective. Robin son said she shares Bullock and Douglas’ concern about guns found on MCCSC property, but she supports the board’s position against arming SROs.

“With every new incident of a shooting in a school, I feel again both fear and heartache,” Robinson said. “When my kids leave in the morning for school, the fact that many children may have access to guns is in the back of my mind. Still, I do not be lieve introducing weapons into the mix is the answer.”

Robinson said research does not support arming SROs as an effective form of violence prevention. A June 2022 study by Poynter Institute found no connec tion between the presence of armed officers in schools and the deterrence of vio lence.

Instead, Robinson pro posed creating school pro grams that train parents how to properly keep guns away from children. Robinson also said fostering a positive school environment goes a long way in preventing vio lence.

“Relationships of trust I believe are more powerful than any metal detector or the threat of any armed re sponse by an officer,” Robin son said. “They work in an other way entirely, one that would be undermined by metal detectors, clear back packs and guns.”

Advocates concerned about electric car charging stations

By Lainee Kirk lainkirk@iu.edu

The Indiana Department of Transportation received federal approval to deploy electric vehicle charging sta tions across the state two weeks ago, creating the Na tional Electric Vehicle Infra structure program, according to a Herald-Times article.

INDOT has released maps of places where these charg ing stations will be located across the state. Since then, different organizations have expressed their concerns that communities made up of predominantly people of color are not included in this plan.

The NEVI program aims to deploy at least 500,000 electric vehicle charging sta tions in Indiana by 2030 and encourages wider adoption of electric vehicles. The first new charging stations are ex pected to be installed in 2024.

Rep. Cherrish Pryor, DIndianapolis, said she helped amend House Bill 1221 which was passed on March 11, 2022, and outlines regula tions for the use of electric ve hicles. Pryor said that INDOT typically holds meetings to address the concerns of dif ferent Indiana communities, which included a meeting to receive community feedback on their plans to deploy EV charging stations.

“The three meetings that were held by INDOT had a maximum capacity of fifty people and two of those meetings were held in areas where there is not really any

Christiana Ochoa named dean of law school

By Carter DeJong cadejong@iu.edu | @dejong_carter

Christiana Ochoa will begin serving as dean of the Maurer School of Law on Nov. 1.

She will be the first Latine person to serve as dean of the school and is among eight Latine women to ever serve as dean of a U.S. law school, according to a release from the Maurer School.

“Professor Christiana Ochoa is a remarkable leader and internationally recog nized researcher and scholar

with a history of outstanding service to Indiana Univer sity,” IU President Pamela Whitten said in the release.

Ochoa’s previous ap pointments with the Mauer School include executive as sociate dean, associate dean for research and academic affairs, and associate vice provost for faculty and aca demic affairs.

She has also served as the founding associate director for the IU Center for Docu mentary Research & Practice since 2015.

Ochoa graduated from

presence of minorities,” Pryor said. “They should have had several meetings in locations that could have held a signifi cant number of people with a lot of outreaches to commu nities, asking people to come and give their input in loca tions which minorities felt safe and welcome to attend.”

The Indiana Alliance for Equity, Diversity, and Inclu sion of Electrical Vehicles released a six-point plan outlining the rules they be lieve INDOT should adhere to ensure underrepresented voices are included in IN DOT’s plans, including the EV movement.

James Mosley, the presi dent of EnviroKinetics, a company specializing in en vironmental change, said the alliance’s purpose is to ensure that minority group opinions are involved in the creation of new infrastruc ture and programs through out Indiana. He said INDOT made a mistake when trying to cater to minority commu nities by equating them all to low-income communities.

Mosley said INDOT must be intentional in making sure all voices are heard, otherwise, they will be left out of the EV effort.

“We want all low-income people to be addressed as it is intended to do but we certainly want to make sure people of color are included as well,” Mosley said.

The White House de scribes Justice 40 as a federal initiative that declares that 40% of federal investments in a state should go to marginal

ized and disadvantaged com munities. Mosley said this initiative provides explicit guidelines for Indiana to fol low to make sure they are tar geting their funds to people of color.

“With all those programs that are coming down, the Bi partisan Infrastructure Plan, the Inflation Reduction Act, the J40, they had a clear defi nition to address the racial wealth gap,” Mosley said.

INDOT strategic com munications director, Natalie Garrett, said the NEVI pro gram is fairly new and still growing. She also said con cerns from the community are being considered as NEVI continues to work on its plan.

“The agency will take advantage of ongoing op portunities to make adjust ments to the plan as we move forward,” Garrett said. “IN DOT will continue to listen to all voices as we continue through the implementation process.”

COLUMN: The woman he married: how artistic interpretation finds pain in divorce

Tendler, the ex-wife of co median John Mulaney. But the public nature of their crumbled relationships will not stop them from creating their own art despite their husbands’ infidelity.

These two women have very different stories regard ing their relationships, but I won’t be touching on their husbands at all. These are

Let’s look at Ariel’s Insta gram page. She took “wife” out of her account descrip tion and has abstained from posting things other than her children since late June. She has remained neutral about her husband since late February, not posting anything that shows love for him. She hasn’t even liked his comments on her re cent posts. There’s not much relationship content com ing from her other than the Cartier love bracelet.

Oh yeah, the Cartier love bracelet? It’s nothing but an upward of $4,500 perma nent bracelet that can only be taken off with a specialty

Anna Marie Tendler, a much more traditional art ist than Ariel Fulmer, has a lot more to offer in her In stagram posts. For her, it is a mode of expression and promotion for her photog raphy. And boy, there is a lot of pain in her art.

Tendler has two photog raphy collections based on the pain of her divorce: “The Clothes We Wore Before” and “Rooms in the First House.” I will be focusing on her most recent collec tion, “The Clothes We Wore Before.”

Her pieces entitled “The Tidal Basin,” “Auras,” and

“Red Shirt” might even be in direct reference to an In stagram post Tendler made three years ago. Red be comes a very hurtful color for Tendler, as it’s in almost every photo of her and her ex-husband that exists, from her Met Gala look in 2017 to her Tony Awards dress. She even wrote her intent to marry him in red, displayed proudly at their wedding. This color is purposefully included in every piece in the collection so far, empha sizing the importance of red to Tendler’s art.

This collection is about backlash. It’s about her past collection. Tendler makes notes on what she left out and addresses trau mas spanning across her life. This red motif is not something I can stray away

from. In “Auras,” she runs away from a chaotic dress in a red jumpsuit, as seen on her Instagram while pro moting her in-person art installation. The dress she is seen running away from draws inspiration from the dress she wears in “Invok ing the Night,” a piece in her “Rooms in the First House” collection. Tendler aims to separate herself from her depictions of divorce, mov ing on to the realm of gener alized trauma.

Both women are moving away from that part of their lives. Whether they want to or not, they are actively separating themselves from the married lives they previ ously had. They are signal ing change to the world.

The change they seek is shown through their social media. They are taking con trol over the public nature of their lives. It is now their stories, not anyone else’s.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 past seven years in my graduate program,” Park said. “I’ve been reading his work that published in the years before I was even born.”

She recently watched her dissertation defense over again to relive the mo ment when she celebrated with Tim.

“I wanted to feel that moment again of him hug ging me and telling me that I did a great job,” Park said. “He’s not only an intellec tual person; he’s a human being — a really exception al human being that is so giving and supportive.”

While he was a consis tent presence and leader in Kelley, Tim’s memory lives far outside the school’s boundaries.

Greg Fisher, a Kelley professor of entrepreneur ship, remembers how Tim never failed to attend any of his daughters’ lemonade stands. When Tim helped sponsor new cheerlead ing uniforms, he emailed Fisher’s daughter to make sure the team never lost their positive spirit, regard less of how the team was

faring. He signed the email “Dare to be great” — a common sign-off and say ing of Tim’s.

Curt Simic, president emeritus of the IU Foun dation, remembers apolo gizing to Tim for calling so often when a prospective student was making a visit to campus. Tim always dis missed his concerns, say ing how it was a privilege to show visitors around — never a burden.

Arvind Parkhe, now a professor of strategy and international busi ness at Temple Univer sity, joined IU two years after Tim. Parkhe said in an email that Tim guided him through his work with patient wisdom. In saying goodbye to Tim, he said he is doing so for someone who is far more important than a colleague.

“It is impossible to for get his ever-cheerful smile and positive attitude,” Parkhe said. “He was more than a colleague; he was a friend.”

Tim is survived by his wife JoEllen, his son Matt and brothers Scott and Ty.

“The program especially for Alzheimer's research ers at Indiana has grown tremendously over the last five years,” Dr. Bruce Lamb, executive director of the Paul and Carole Stark Neu rosciences Research Insti tute, said. “We have room to improve our programs. I am increasingly convinced that part of the solution for Al zheimer's disease will come from Indiana.”

Mouse models are most frequently used by scientists when testing new thera pies and clinic treatments for Alzheimer's, Lamb said. This is due to the amy loid plaques found in mice, which are similar to the amyloid plaques of people with Alzheimer's. Amyloid plaques are large levels of proteins that combine, causing plaques and disrup tions to cells, according to the National Center for Bio technology Information.

If the mouse models are encouraging after be ing tested through preclini cal testing, then they are researchers will nominate the models for therapeutic treatments.

There is a STOP- AD Portal website where re searchers take nomina tions from different groups of compounds to begin test ing mouse models. These groups can be academic, nonprofit or companies that submit different preclinical studies to look for similar compounds or targets found in Alzheimer's, according to Territo.

Investigators and re searchers are looking for evidence that a drug is ef fective towards a target. This includes appropriate animal models, evidence of studies produced through the portal and approval from investigators that the evidence or study can move forward, according to Lamb.

Since the research pro gram’s 2016 launch has been discovered that not one gene contributes to the Alzheimer's, but a combina tion called a risk gene. The last 40 mouse models have taught researchers that indi vidual genes are not strong enough to cause Alzheim er's to progress, but instead it is a combination, Territo said.

The U.S. Department of Education will match the information from applica tions to the information on file, and if discrepancies are found applications will need to provide documen tation.

The department plans to process applications quickly, as they hope to discharge as many debts as they can before student loan payments resume in January. Borrowers should only have to wait “a matter of weeks” to see their debts canceled, according to a senior administration offi cial in the NPR article.

According to the offi cial, about 95% of borrow ers should meet the in come thresholds to secure loan relief.

I’ve had my Halloween costume picked out since Aug. 23. I have scoured the corners of the internet to find the exact shirt and per fect shoes for my costume. In a sense, I will be walking a runway on Oct. 31.

Halloween is more important than fashion week

the holiday for fashion. It’s the one opportunity to show off your creativity and niche interests.

There are even whole designer collections dedi cated to a love of Hallow een. Just look at Moschino’s Resort collection from 2020, The Blonds’ Disney Villains showcase or Martine Sit bon’s spring-summer 1993 collection with Kate Moss as a sexy witch. These shows are just the tip of the iceberg. The love of Halloween goes hand in hand with a love for fashion, just as most fash ionistas froth at the mouth while thinking of Halloween.

Indiana can feel insuf ferably dull sometimes. The small towns, the lack of mountains or beaches, just hundreds of acres of corn and wheat fields. For those seeking adventure in the world, it can feel like a fullon cage — nowhere to go and nowhere to explore.

However, I am a big be liever you can find adven ture anywhere. You just have to know where to look.

Since moving out to In diana from Colorado a year and a half ago, I have been dying to find adventure spots that could scratch my itch for nature. Sometimes, the only way to clear my head is by being in nature, and I know I am not alone in that feeling. Although you might not see them at first glance, loads of students at IU are adventur ers looking for places to ex plore. Yet, unless they grew up in the area, most people have no idea where to start.

I have found Indiana has a lot more to offer than many initially see. I gathered a list of places that have stood out to me in the last year. Places that fulfilled my need for na ture and brought me some

Week happened this year. It’s supposed to be the big gest fashion event of the year with exclusive and impor tant designs from world-re nowned fashion houses. For something that is supposed to showcase a cultural mo ment, it isn’t very accessible. Halloween, on the other hand, is.

Halloween is a centurieslong tradition stemming from the Celtic tradition of

Samhain, a day where the barrier between the living and the dead became weak and blurred. Costumes were even worn back then in or der to protect the living from being possessed by the dead spirits. In modern times, costumes became a fashion statement, from costume pageants of the 1930s to Bette Midler’s annual Hal loween party.

The traditions of runway

fashion and Halloween fash ion are one and the same. A designer comes up with a creative outfit and fits it to a model, and then they showcase this art to the en tire world in a room full of well-dressed tastemakers judging the execution of the concept. Halloween takes this idea and makes it avail able to every kind of person at every stage in their life. It has become vital to express

yourself fully for one night a year.

Famous models are often the biggest fans of this holi day season — look at Heidi Klum’s dedication to extrav agant costuming or Emily Ratajkowski’s perfect execu tion of Marge Simpson. Ob viously, these people have insane amounts of money to spend on intricate costumes, but it stems from a love of dressing up. Halloween is

peace of mind.

So, whether you are seek ing some much-needed nature time or just trying to explore the Bloomington area a little more, here are three hikes that are no more than a 45-minute drive from campus:

Hickory Ridge Fire Tower Hickory Ridge is a 40-minute drive from cam pus and is one of the most beautiful drives you can take around here. Following the same road you take to Lake Monroe, you are surrounded by hundreds of trees and walls of limestone. As you turn off Route 446, the for est engulfs you. The dirt road beneath your tires and the canopy of trees fills your sight. During the fall, this is an exceptionally gorgeous drive.

This site doesn’t require a hike but rather a climb.

The fire tower is approxi mately 25 minutes down the dirt road and stands 110 feet tall. If you can brave the climb up to the top, you are met with a beautiful bird’seye view of the Hoosier Na tional Forest.

This site can be slightly unnerving just because of the climb, but the view is worth it 100 times over.

McCormick’s Creek State Park

Only a 30-minute drive away, the state park has so much to offer. From water falls to horseback rides, you will never be bored.

The trails are stunning and well-kept, so a stroll around the park is a must. But the real fun is in the horseback riding. My favorite spot in this park is the waterfall. Engulfed

in limestone lays a waterfall only a few steps down from the parking lot. You can jump from rock to rock and make your way across the river un til you are standing under neath the waterfall. It will be a highlight of the trip — guar anteed.

Brown County State Park

severely missing out. Brown County State Park is just the cherry on top.

The dozens of trails take you through the 16,000 acres of rustic hills and ravines.

Runway knowl edge comes with a premium, while there are unlimited amounts of videos and ar ticles for free that highlight the importance of Hallow een.

anges. The hikes encompass you in the trees and make you feel at one with the forest.

Indiana isn’t actually as boring as it may seem. If you need a hint of adventure in your life, take a day trip over the weekend and explore these sights. It will open your mind to the idea that adven ture is everywhere.

Disney’s growing media dominance is a threat to free thought

Everyone has felt the magic of Disney. Whether it’s watching an old cartoon classic, like “Snow White,” or spending a day with family at Disney World, it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t remember a time where they felt — even for just a moment — that dreams do come true.

But just as we have felt the magic of Disney, the grim price of the company’s slowly-growing media dom inance is beginning to rear its ugly head.

As of August 2021, Dis ney owns about 28% of the global media market. This amount is staggering as no matter where you are in the world, Disney-produced media seems unavoid able. And, while this isn’t inherently troublesome, the groundwork it lays for potential widescale censor ship and manipulation is worrisome.

Much of the content Dis ney produces, particularly its larger products such as

its feature films, are made to prioritize the Chinese mar ket. Disney is one of many American filmmakers found to be actively changing the content of its films in order to secure its place in the Chinese Community Party’s strict box office, according to a report published by PEN America, a U.S.-based nonprofit which works to promote free written ex pression worldwide.

Disney’s adherence to the CCP’s media guidelines is demonstrated in the com pany’s refusal to portray the LGBTQ community in its films.

According to a Vanity Fair article, Pixar employ ees who work under Dis ney have made claims that company executives reject “nearly every moment of overtly gay affection” that the employees attempt to create within their collec tive works.

The LGBTQ community is just one of many minority groups that the CCP doesn’t allow to be portrayed in Chinese media, a fact that lets us tie these instances of local censorship to the Chi

nese government’s unjust ideals.

While Disney’s censor ship of the LGBTQ com munity can be attributed to corporate greed, it’s also important to consider how it may be a consequence of personal prejudice. Ac cording to University of Washington News, 90-95% of people contain some sort of internal prejudice. The handful of individuals that compose Disney’s head of command are not exempt from this statistic, meaning their decisions regarding what their company pro duces are likely to be tainted by some form of their own internalized bigotry.

Putting so much media influence into the hands of just a few greatly increases the risk of spreading per sonal prejudice, a threat that only becomes more potent when it arises from Disney’s cultural monolith.

Furthermore, Disney’s control over the worldwide market is continuing to grow as it extends its influ ence into other fields such as those of finance, publish

ing and property through its investing in various invest ment companies, publica tions such as National Geo graphic Magazine and real estate agencies.

So what risks are posed when the majority of our world is manufactured by

one unstoppable entertain ment giant? If a politician with a fat enough wallet and an agenda wants to push their ideals onto a lot of people in as many ways as possible, who else is better to call than Disney? Disney is right: Dreams

do come true — just not our own. It’s only the dreams of the money-hungry, mouseeared corporate overlords that rule over us that can make their selfish fantasies a reality.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

ranked No. 13 in preseason AP Poll

By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @EvanGerike

Indiana men’s basketball is back in the AP Poll for the first time since 2018-19, en tering the preseason ranked No. 13.

Indiana is the highestranked Big Ten team, with Michigan ranked at No. 22 and Illinois at No. 23.

The University of North Carolina is the preseason No. 1 team. The Hoosiers face the Tar Heels on Nov. 30 in Bloomington.

Other ranked opponents for Indiana include the Uni

versity of Kansas, who is ranked No. 5, and Arizona, who is ranked No. 17.

It’s the first time Indiana was ranked in the preseason poll since 2016-17, when the Hoosiers were ranked No. 11. While they reached as high as No. 3 in the poll that season, they missed the NCAA Tournament. The last time the Hoosiers were ranked at all was on Jan. 14, 2019, when they were ranked No. 25.

Indiana’s season tips off against Morehead State University at 7 p.m. on Nov. 7 in Bloomington.

COLUMN: Indiana fumbles game, maybe the postseason too

By Will Foley wtfoley@iu.edu | @foles24

By Matt Press mtpress@iu.edu | @MatthewPress23

Bloomington is gor geous this time of year, isn’t it? From the cool, crisp air in the morning to the fresh foliage setting the stage for scenic strolls to class, it all comes together into one fall staple: the return of basket ball.

We’re less than a month away from the start of the season, and with Indiana football putting on its best “Bad News Bears” impres sion, action on the hard wood couldn’t come at a better time.

While much of the fan fare surrounds Indiana men’s basketball head coach Mike Woodson’s team and its prized new recruits, Indiana women’s basketball has transformed into a force in the Big Ten and the na tion after years of teetering around mediocrity.

The only problem? The trio of Nicole Cardaño-Hill ary, Aleksa Gulbe and Ali Patberg — a rock-solid core in the program — has con cluded its playing days in Assembly Hall. The former two are now overseas play ing professional ball and the latter has taken on a role in the Hoosiers’ coaching staff.

Despite returning fifthyear senior Grace Berger and true senior Mackenzie Holmes — the team’s top scorers and a pair of pre season All-Big Ten selec

tions — it’s tough to manage lofty expectations after los ing such integral pieces.

Regardless, let’s dive into some early predictions for the 2022-23 season:

Indiana wins the Big Ten Bold? Sure. Out of the realm of possibility? Defi nitely not. We know the story of last season’s Big Ten tournament. A feisty, five-seeded Hoosier squad tore through its competi tion — knocking off Rutgers, Maryland and No. 1-seeded Ohio State — en route to the championship.

The loss to Iowa to cap off the tournament was far from demoralizing. The Hawk eyes were, and still are, an elite program with perhaps the best player in the coun try in sharpshooting junior guard Caitlin Clark. With an impressive March Madness run into the Sweet Sixteen, the Hoosiers fully intro duced themselves on the national stage and joined the conversation of cham pionship-contending teams.

Based on the aforemen tioned group of personnel departures, a Big Ten title might seem preposterous. but filling holes with trans fers is the route head coach Teri Moren took. I, for one, am extremely optimistic about the newcomers.

Senior guard Sara Scalia, a Minnesota transfer and 41.3% 3-point shooter, will be essential for the Hoosiers

to emerge victorious in the conference. Indiana’s longrange shooting wasn’t quite a strength last season and Scalia and University of Or egon transfer junior guard Sydney Parrish should rem edy that in spades.

Team MVP: Mackenzie Holmes

Hear me out. Averaging just the fifth-most minutes on the team last season, Holmes managed to finish as the second-leading scor er with 15.2 points per game and as the top shot blocker.

Despite a knee injury that lingered for the bulk of the season, she still domi nated the defensive glass and scored at an efficient clip. Gobbling up space in the paint, even at half strength, Holmes’ contribu tion to the team’s floor-spac ing was invaluable.

This doesn’t slight Berger by any means. It would be no shock to see her lead the team in points and ul timately prove this predic tion moot in her fifth and final season. From a value standpoint, I give Holmes the slight edge due to her defensive presence and ver satility. As a leader on and off the floor, I believe she will be the Hoosiers’ most important piece throughout the season.

Yarden Garzon becomes the Hoosiers’ next star Freshman Yarden Gar

Indiana defeats Michigan State

By Marnie Sara mbsara@iu.edu | @marns45

More than 2,500 fans witnessed Indiana volley ball fight for five sets against No. 9 Purdue on Oct. 14 in Bloomington. Despite Indi ana giving its best effort, the Hoosiers fell 3-2 to the Boil ermakers in the annual ri valry matchup. On Sunday, Indiana bounced back to defeat Michigan State and split the weekend 1-1.

The attendance at the in trastate matchup — official ly counted at 2,512 — was the highest ever at Wilkin son Hall. Indiana dedicated the match to the 50th anni versary of Title IX and gifted the first 500 fans with a free Indiana volleyball T-shirt.

Indiana began the night on a 4-1 run in the first set, with sophomore outside hitter Kenzie Daffinee at the service. Daffinee delivered a service ace during the run alongside junior middle blocker Savannah Kjol hede’s two kills.

Daffinee came off the bench and brought a spark of energy for the Hoosiers early in the first set.

“Kenzie is a girl that we can always count on with her serve,” senior defensive specialist Paula Cerame said at the post-game press er. “She has improved tons since last year, so whenever she comes on the court, we know what she is going to bring.”

Indiana would win the first game by going on a 3-point run to close the set

26-24. The Boilermakers re sponded in the second set with a close win, 25-22, to tie it up.

Daffinee returned to the service line for the top of the third set and guided Indiana to a 4-0 start. With a service ace by sophomore outside hitter Camryn Haworth, Indiana’s lead extended to 10-5. Indiana dominated the rest of the third set as it secured a 25-15 win.

Purdue responded with a 10-0 run in the fourth set and tied the score at 2-2 with a 25-15 set win.

With the match now tied 2-2, both teams were looking to take the final set and win the game. Before the decisive fifth set began, however, Indiana would take the minutes to reset.

“We came back towards our locker room, and we said it’s 0-0,” said Cerame. “We have to refocus and re kindle our energy.”

With an attack error by freshman Candela AlonsoCorcelles and a kill by Pur due freshman outside hitter Eva Hudson, the Hoosiers trailed 13-8 in the fifth set — played to only 15 points. Indiana was unable to re spond, and Purdue would go on to win the set 15-10 and the match 3-2.

“I was really proud of the kids’ effort,” head coach Steve Aird said. “I thought we played hard. We did a lot of really good things and just came up a little bit short.”

In May 2022, the Indiana Daily Student published an

investigation regarding In diana volleyball head coach Steve Aird. The investiga tion’s allegations stem from interviews with six women who used to play for Aird — four of which at Indiana. They alleged the IU program under Aird is built around punishment and dismis siveness of mental abuse.

Indiana returned to Wilkinson Hall less than 48

zon, an Israel native, has re ceived plenty of praise from Moren and hype from fans this offseason. While the 6’3” guard likely won’t crack the starting lineup early this season, or maybe at all, she will be a fine option off the bench as a lengthy, versatile microwave scorer and tough defender.

Garzon has played against some of the top competition in Europe and averaged a near-doubledouble with 19.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game at the 2021 FIBA U20 Europe an Challengers.

She might not take the world by storm this season, but I expect her to show flashes of stardom often and be a meaningful contribu tor. Maybe in a season or two, she will take over the team and become a truly elite talent.

Final thoughts

Will the Hoosiers pull off the ultimate shock and win the program’s first National Championship? Maybe, but most likely not. Nonethe less, you can’t deny how intriguing this roster is and that they will remain highly competitive through a diffi cult schedule.

If Moren donning an In diana football jersey and rolling into Hoosier Hyste ria in the back of a Cadillac doesn’t excite you for the return of basketball, I don’t know what will.

Trailing by four with five minutes remaining, Indiana football was in the process of putting together a promising drive in hopes of regaining the lead. One fumble later, the game’s fate was sealed, marking four-straight losses for the Hoosiers.

The feeling should be nothing new for Indiana fans. A back-and-forth contest in which Indiana looks to have a chance before things go awry. It’s a theme which seems alltoo repetitive with Indiana football, and it unfolded once again in the Hoosiers’ 38-33 loss to Maryland.

A win for Indiana would have been a nice momentum boost, especially considering the losing streak. Instead, the Hoosiers will return to the field next weekend against Rutgers in a state of despera tion.

Indiana had a slew of things not go its way, and that started on its first play from scrimmage. Junior quarter back Connor Bazelak threw a lame duck which was in tercepted, setting up an easy score and immediate 7-0 lead for the Terrapins.

The Hoosiers fought their way back, scoring a field goal in the first quarter and out scoring Maryland 14-7 in the second. Indiana had its first outright halftime lead since week one — all it needed was its first complete game.

Maryland delivered a punch in the mouth right out of the half, and a third

straight scoreless second half looked bound to plague Indi ana. The Terrapins scored on their first drive, then Bazelak once again started Indiana’s first drive with an intercep tion.

But the Hoosiers settled down, and the offense played well from that point onward. In fact, it was Indiana’s most complete offensive perfor mance this season.

Yet, it seems like there’s always a catch with this team, and this week it was the de fense. After shutting down Maryland’s run game to 13 yards in the first half, the Ter rapins ran wild in the fourth quarter for 127 yards.

Maryland’s dominant run game led to a couple of scores, giving the team a 3127 lead with five minutes to go, leading to the story’s cli max and Indiana’s demise.

A big kickoff return from freshman running back Jay lin Lucas set up Indiana in Maryland territory. Bazelak connected with junior wide receiver Andison Coby, who tried to make one too many moves and coughed up the ball.

Maryland scored once more and secured the game 38-33. Another weekend, an other disappointing loss for the Hoosiers.

What’s the next step for this team to take? Areas of concern such as the offensive line and consistency looked better, yet they still couldn’t pull out a win.

It appears new problems emerged as others were re solved.

hours later to face Michigan State. The Hoosiers would collect their third confer ence win in a five-set battle.

Before the match, a mo ment was taken to recog nize Cerame for collecting 1,000 career digs. She stood beside her parents in the center of the court as the crowd cheered her on. Over the course of the match against the Spartans, Ce

rame would add another 26 digs to her total.

It was a big night for many other Hoosiers in the win, including redshirt junior outside hitter Ash ley Zulaf who achieved a career-high seven kills ac companied by three assists, three blocks and two digs.

Additionally, sophomore outside hitter Mady Sa ris reached 21 kills against

Michigan State and sopho more outside hitter Camryn Haworth collected a dou ble-double with 46 assists and 12 digs.

“A good win for the pro gram,” Aird said. “Any win is a good win, certainly a third Big 10 win of the season”.

Indiana will head on the road to face Michigan at 7 p.m. Oct. 21 in Ann Arbor for its next match.
