Campers break away Campers with disabilities learn to ride at iCan Bike Camp

By Joy Burton joyburt@iu.edu

Frank Southern Ice Arena looked more like Bill Armstrong Stadium last week as campers of all abilities raced around in circles and learned how to ride bikes.

The riders spun in bright colors and were chased by jogging volunteers, who directed them away from the walls. Crashes and falls were rare, but when they occurred, the arena would burst into applause.

“It’s nice they have a place where they’re safe to fail without feeling bad,” Dawn Burks said.

Burks had come to watch her 10-year-old daughter, Quinna, who has a cognitive disorder and autism.

Quinna was riding a real bike by the fourth day of camp. iCan Bike is a nationwide nonprofit organization teaching kids and adults with disabilities how to ride a bike. It was hosted by the Down Syndrome Family Connection, a local non-profit group that spreads knowledge about Down syndrome to the public. The camp sessions took place for 75 minutes each weekday and were attended by 12 participants ages 8-20.

Quinna and other students began the learning process by using a “rollSEE BIKES, PAGE 3

A national group of animal activists has claimed in a recent press release the IU School of Medicine is responsible for the deaths of 116 test animals and the injuries of others.

The organization, Stop Animal Exploitation Now, is an Ohio-based group which claims to have uncovered the information by obtaining internal University letters and correspondence.

The 17 IU reports SAEN obtained and released detailed various conditions and situations which developed over the course of several months, from April 2016 to October 2017.

One document details how 40 mice were accidentally drowned in their cages, while another report says 15 mice went through a procedure, suffering unnecessary pain and distress and later died as a result.

Findings from the reports also mention mice were not given enough anesthetic during surgery and experienced dirty and poor conditions. Other incidents included several mice starving and the malfunctioning of a hypoxia chamber, causing six rats to suffocate in a chamber.

"This is shocking. And the reality is that Indiana University School of Medicine considers these animals to be disposable," Michael Budkie, SAEN executive director, said.

"Otherwise they wouldn't have allowed these animals to die of starvation, dehydration, suffocation and drowning."

Budkie and SAEN have called for an independent investigation into IUSM and the multiple cases of what they call negligence and research malfeasance.

SAEN claimed these documents were "uncovered' and never meant to be available to the public.

The University denies that claim saying it followed procedure by submitting those reports to the appropriate public agencies.

Chuck Carney, IU's director of media relations, said the documents are all public ones which IU sent to the respective oversight agencies and are freely available to the public.

Hoosiers finish regular season with senior day victory

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

Baseball fans usually don't applaud when their team's batter strikes out.

Yet, in the bottom of the seventh inning Saturday night at Bart Kaufman Field, IU fans rose to their feet and clapped after senior outfielder Logan Sowers struck out swinging.

It was likely Sowers' final at-bat in Bloomington, which came after he had recorded two home runs, two singles and 5 RBIs in his first four plate appearances against Maryland on Saturday.

"It was pretty awesome," Sowers said. "I walked in the dugout and coach said 'First time they've ever cheered for a strikeout.' I thought that was pretty funny, but the fans were great."

IU's 13-3 victory to close the regular season allowed IU Coach Chris Lemonis to play four of the team's six seniors that were honored before the game.

While outfielders Laren Eustace and Chris Lowe both reached base, and pitcher Brian Hobbie threw a scoreless inning out of the bullpen, the day belonged to Sowers.

His three-run homer in the

bottom of the first gave IU a lead it wouldn't relinquish. When Sowers hit his second home run, a solo shot to right field, it marked the second time during the Maryland series an IU player had two homers in one game. Junior infielder Luke Miller, who had three hits Saturday, also blasted two home runs during Friday's game.

"I always get in these spurts where I see the ball really well and I hit for some nice power," Sowers said. "I really haven't done that a whole lot this year, the power, but it's a good time to start doing it."

A total of eight Hoosiers combined for IU's 15 hits in the 10-run win. On the pitching mound, junior Tim Herrin continued to find success since joining IU's weekend rotation as the third starter.

Herrin moved to 5-0 this season after allowing three runs in six innings pitched against the Terrapins. He has now earned the victory in three of his last four starts.

Lemonis said good starting pitching, along with defense and timely hitting, are the keys for IU in postseason play.

"Right now is some of the best baseball we're playing," Lemonis said. "Even early on when we were winning, we still weren't totally clicking."

IU beat Maryland, 13-3, to end the regular season on a six-game winning streak.

The Hoosiers will begin postseason play Wednesday night in the Big Ten Tournament. IU finished as the five seed in the conference standings, in part due to the Hoosiers closing out the regu-

lar season with five straight Big Ten wins.

IU will play the four seed, Illinois, at 10 p.m. Wednesday in Omaha, Nebraska, to begin the eight-team, double-elimination

tournament.

Larry Howard's 15-year-old daughter, Elena, stands near the refrigerator where Maple Valley Farm keeps eggs. Elena is responsible for taking care of the laying hens.

Maple Valley movement Bloomington’s Maple Valley Farm uses the practice of biomimicry for the microbes, earthworms and scavengers. Howard said these small creatures bring life to soil that has been robbed of nutrients from unsustainable corn farms.

Howard and his family help the breeding pigs restore the soil and produce compost by throwing in food scraps from local restaurants, including two barrels overflowing with poppy seed bagels that sat right next to the pigs.

Chickens and turkeys trail behind cattle, sheep and goats. They eat the flies, larvae and insects left in the herds’ feces, and work the manure into the soil as they trample the fields.

The pigs, which Howard calls nature’s sanitation engineers, fluff up the soil with their snouts to make it easier for soil microbes to eat up carbon-filled materials. They also eat up pests.

“They all have their own job,” Howard said.

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@iu.edu

The first thing visitors may notice at Maple Valley Farm is the sound — the mooing, bleating and hoof-beating of sheep, goats and cows as they stampede from one pasture to another for their next meal.

“It’s like an earthquake,” the farm’s owner, Larry Howard, said. “Or like the running of the bulls.”

This time, the herd of 150 sheep, 18 goats, 60 cows and one bull plowed through 1.5 miles to get to the next field, marked off by a mesh wire fence set up by Howard’s 17-year-old son, Ethan.

Every month or two, the daily migration involves trucking the herds to new fields 7 miles away — a stark contrast to conventional farms where animals spend their entire lives on one patch of grass.

“It takes a lot more manpower than keeping them on one patch from the moment they’re born to when they die, but it’s worth it,” Howard said.

This migration is one way Howard mimics nature on his farm — a practice called biomimicry, which has become a rare experiment on the few farms in the country using the method as an alternative to the industrialized megafarms that make up most of the U.S. agriculture industry today.

Moving cows from field to field simulates the animals’ natural migration, Howard said. Animals that stay in one place are easy targets for predators and parasites, and migration keeps herds moving away from manure and toward fresh food.

“In nature, everything moves,” he said.

The birth of a movement From Leonardo da Vinci’s bird-inspired flying machine sketches to the invention of Velcro, scientists and inventors have long looked to nature for inspiration.

“The best ideas are often borrowed,” said Erin Connelly, director of communications at the Montana-based Biomimicry Institute.

It wasn’t until 1997, when naturalist Janine Benyus coined the term “biomimic-

ry,” that the practice shot into the mainstream. Now biomimicry forms the basis of a $1.5 billion industry and crops up in bullet trains inspired by kingfishers, houses modeled after baobab trees and robots mimicking inchworms.

While biomimicry is relatively common in biotechnology and engineering, Arty Mangan, the restorative food systems director of the New Mexico- and California-based science innovation hub Bioneers, said it is a rarity on farms.

Mangan can think of only a couple farms that have successfully integrated biomimicry: farmer and author Joel Salatin’s farm in Staunton, Virginia, and Mark Shepard’s Forest Agriculture Enterprises in Viola, Wisconsin.

“You don’t see it very often,” Mangan said. “It’s not easy to keep up and make money off of.”

Howard hopes to be one of the success stories.

An origin story Howard was once an engineer with a career that stretched from software development to working on

aircraft carriers for the U.S. Department of Defense.

But then Howard realized the mainstream American food system wasn’t getting him, his wife and their three children the healthy, locallysourced food they needed.

Even though he was surrounded by farmland, all the foods he found in grocery stores were shipped from across the country and grown in a way that emphasized efficiency over health.

So Howard put a pause on his engineering career and started looking for ways to produce these foods himself.

He started with sheep in 2003 but quickly found out they needed vaccinations, chemical dewormers and energy supplements. The family spent the next six or so years struggling to care for fragile sheep as they developed diarrhea from parasites and built up fluid in their jaws from worms.

As they watched their sheep die even with the support of pharmaceutical supplements, they realized something was wrong.

“The sheep in the mountains of Turkey don’t need all

of this, so why do our sheep?” he said.

After speaking with researchers, veterinary groups and agricultural organizations, Howard concluded it was the setup of farms that kept animals so weak and reliant on chemicals. If farms simulated nature and cut out pharmaceuticals, the sheep would be more resilient and healthier, he said.

Howard began rotating pastures to keep his animals from being easy targets for parasites and from marinating in a slew of manure. He kept animals in multi-species herds to make it more difficult for parasites to jump from one host to another. He also cut out grain from their diets and added grass. For omnivores such as pigs, chickens and turkeys, he used a mixture of grass and insects.

While most feedlots use grain, Howard said a grain diet causes acidosis, which can lead to diarrhea and death. Grass-fed meat also has less fat, more omega-3 fatty acids and more vitamins than grain-fed meat, he said.

Larry Howard’s wife, Tina Howard, said taking away the

crutches of pharmaceuticals that had been bred into sheep was a difficult process that resulted in lots of initial losses.

“The animals were bred to be that way,” she said. “They’d lost their natural ability to fight off parasites.”

Though they never tracked mortality rates due to parasites, Howard said lamb mortality rates were high when they first cut out chemical supplements. But the numbers gradually decreased until the sixth year without pharmaceuticals, after which not a single lamb has died from parasites at Maple Valley.

“It was some long nights, some real blood, sweat and tears just to keep these animals alive,” Howard said. “We were willing to do anything to keep them healthy.”

More biomimicry methods At Maple Valley Farm, each animal has a purpose, just as each species has its own niche in a natural ecosystem.

The herds, which are kept in dense packs to act as herds and flocks, leave droppings and urine on the soil, fertilizing it and providing food

The obstacles At the basis of the U.S. agricultural system are government subsidies based on type of crop. More than 90 percent of subsidies go to the big five crops — wheat, cotton, corn, soybeans and rice, according to a report by the Environmental Working Group, an environmental research and advocacy organization.

Subsidies are also based on how much is produced, so larger farms get larger checks.

In fact, the wealthiest farmers each rake in an average of $1 million a year in subsidies, while farmers in the lower 80 percent in terms of farm size collect only $5,000 each, according to the EWG. Mangan said subsidies favor large corn and soy monocultures, which leaves small farmers like Howard out to dry.

“We’re supporting farmers who are doing the wrong thing when we need to be incentivizing them to do the right thing,” Mangan said.

“We need to support farmers who are doing the right thing already, even if it costs more money.”

Senior outfielder Logan Sowers stands at the plate during IU’s 13-3 win against Maryland Saturday at Bart Kaufman Field. Saturday’s game marked senior day for the Hoosiers.

Seniors leaving lasting legacy for Hoosiers

By Auston Matricardi amatrica@iu.edu | @a_mat24

138 wins.

That’s what the last four years of Hoosier baseball have amounted to.

On Saturday afternoon, IU celebrated its senior class of Laren Eustace, Brian Hobbie, Chris Lowe, Kade Kryzsko, B.J. Sabol and Logan Sowers prior to its 13-3 walloping of the Maryland Terrapins at Bart Kaufman Field to close the regular season.

It was a display of dominance Hoosier fans are no strangers to, partially thanks

to this class.

“The way they go about their business, on and off the field, they’ve just set the tone for our program,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said.

“There’s a lot of leadership in there. I came in with all these guys. So it was neat to do.”

The senior class came to Bloomington at a pivotal time, as IU was making the transition from former Coach Tracy Smith to Lemonis while trying to continue the program’s rise on a national level.

The seniors that arrived in Bloomington four years

ago had the option to go elsewhere, but each made the decision to stick with IU and Lemonis.

“Being a first-time head coach and these are all your freshmen running around, I think there is a little more connection,” Lemonis said.

That connection is something the players share as well.

“Sometimes we’re in here at 6 a.m. in the morning, or going to weights early and you never really realize how special that is until it’s about done,” Sowers said. “That’s what I’ve been trying to tell the freshmen.

It flies by. It’s crazy. Four years flew by like that and it’s been awesome.”

This group of seniors has had made their presence felt, as they’ve helped sustain IU’s success from the era of Tracy Smith, Kyle Schwarber and Sam Travis into the Lemonis era, cementing IU’s status as a power in the Midwest and the Big Ten. They’ve won more than 61 percent of their games in the cream and crimson, with an overall record of 138-87-2 following Saturday’s win and a 55-37-1 record in the Big Ten. IU has

won more than 30 games each season the seniors have been on campus, with this season’s win total being the highest over.

The group has also seen a pair of NCAA regionals.

They traveled to the Nashville regional as freshmen and then the Lexington regional last season as juniors, but they aren’t done yet.

The Hoosiers will head out to Omaha, Nebraska, later this week, attempting to add something else to the senior class’ list of accomplishments — a Big Ten Tournament championship.

With the regular season

at its end, the Hoosiers now control how much longer they’ll play.

Their seniors will play a big part in the postseason, as they try to extend their collegiate careers as long as they can.

With IU on a six-game win streak, Sowers said they don’t need to change what they’re doing to make a run in the postseason.

“I feel the most confident I’ve ever felt going into the postseason,” Sowers said.

“I think we’ve got a really strong chance to go really far and I’m really looking forward to it.”

IU senior midfielder Danny O’Rourke prepares to make a challenge against a University of California at Santa Barbara player during the 2004 NCAA College Cup Final played at the StubHub Center, then known as the Home Depot Center, in Carson, California. O’Rourke was named an assistant coach for the IU soccer team on Wednesday.

IU alumnus joins men’s soccer coaching staff

By Auston Matricardi amatrica@iu.edu | @a_mat24

On April 23, it was announced IU men’s soccer assistant coach Brian Maisonneuve would be the new head coach at Ohio State.

After three weeks, he’s been replaced by another IU alumnus.

On Wednesday, IU announced former IU and MLS standout Danny O’Rourke will be replacing Maisonneuve on IU Coach Todd Yeagley’s staff.

“Danny brings a wealth of experience to our soccer program after playing professionally for 11 years in MLS,” Yeagley said in a press release.

“Danny’s attention to detail,

work ethic, competitive fire, along with strong leadership skills, enabled Danny to win titles at every level during his long and decorated career.”

O’Rourke was captain of the IU teams that won national championships in 2003 and 2004. He also won the MAC Hermann Trophy as college soccer’s most outstanding player in 2004 as a senior.

“Seventeen years ago, I was fortunate enough to become part of the IU Soccer family,” O’Rourke said in a press release. “Bloomington became a second home, coaches became lasting mentors and teammates became lifelong friends. I look forward to implementing the same core values that I learned dur-

ing my playing career to help guide these talented, young men both on and off the field, as well as to add some more hardware to the unrivaled trophy case in Assembly Hall.”

O’Rourke was drafted fourth overall in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft and went on to play 11 seasons for the San Jose Earthquakes, New York Red Bulls, Columbus Crew and Portland Timbers. He made 186 starts in 200 career matches and won a pair of MLS Cups.

The former All-American previously served as an assistant with IU during the 2016 season, when the Hoosiers recorded a 12-2-7 record and made it to the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

Junior Jake Brown was eliminated from postseason play Wednesday after finishing tied for 14th in the NCAA Regional Tournament in Bryan, Texas.

Brown was playing as one of 10 individuals invited to the tournament and shot a combined score of 215, one under par, over three rounds.

He shot rounds of even par, 72, for the first two days and just snuck under par on the last hole of day three, shooting 71 in the final round.

While Brown finished in the top three for individual players not on qualifying teams, only the top individual gets to move on to the National Championship round.

“Obviously, I’m disappointed that I’m not moving on, but it was an awesome experience for me,” Brown said. “It was a great experience and great environment to be in and it was really a positive end to the season, I think.”

Brown said he thinks of this year as a stepping stone and is already setting goals for next year.

“After being here one year, I know I want to make it next year to the National Championship,” Brown said. “To make it past this tournament is the next goal. That’s what I’m looking forward to trying to achieve next year.”

This is this first postseason appearance for IU since 2013, when the team was eliminated in the regional.

Brown is the first individ-

ual player to represent the school since 2007.

Even though he competed as an individual, Brown is looking to bring the whole IU team to Nationals next year.

“First of all I want to get my team there, so that’s

definitely the first step, and then we’ll go from there.”

Brown said.

But for now, he is focusing on the summer.

“Getting on board with my teammates and having a good summer of golf is my next step,” Brown said.

Arctic Monkeys’ album is full of fake intellectualism

By Emily Eckelbarger eaeckelb@iu.edu | @emeckelbarger

I thought the door to “AM”-era Arctic Monkeys closed in 2013. Embalmed with cigarette ash and buried in one of lead singer Alex Turner’s leather jackets, I thought the sounds similar to the album “AM” would never be revived.

With the opening notes of the first track “Star Treatment” on the Arctic Monkeys’ new album “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino,” I find myself right back in the lush, smoky clouds of “AM”era Arctic Monkeys.

At the first sound of the song’s muted drums and echoing vocals, I am in a ‘70s jazz bar, cigarette in hand.

Turner sits in the corner swirling a scotch, and the air is thick with sullen glances exchanged between fake potted plants.

Turner certainly seems nostalgic for such a scene, anyway. At 32-years-old, he’s too young to have experienced it in person, but that doesn’t stop him from imagining it in lyrics such as “Maybe I was a little too wild in the ‘70s,” in “Star Treatment.” Like me, Turner aches for an era he can’t reclaim.

He might be trying to bring back the ‘70s, but I am trying to bring back any version of the Arctic Monkeys that doesn’t feel like a sleepy continuation of “AM.” “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino” is nothing new and nothing particularly interesting after the Arctic Monkeys’ raucous beginnings. “AM” and Turner’s side projects like the Last Shadow Puppets made this

sound first, and they did it better.

Sonically the album trudges along at a mid-tempo pace through familiar territory. Listeners of the Last Shadow Puppets will recognize the atmospheric production of “Everything You’ve Come to Expect” in “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.” Threads of “Dracula Teeth,” a song from The Last Shadow Puppets, appear in the lush organ and synths of songs such as

“Golden Trunks.”

“Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino” is a desert of riffs, and if you’re craving any of the hooks from earlier albums, prepare to go hungry.

The album works in a subtlety previously unexplored by the Arctic Monkeys by spreading out into a landscape of layered piano, guitar and synths over which Turner croons his wry lyrics.

It makes for an even-keeled album with few memorable hooks on first listen.

Perhaps it’s unreasonable to expect the Arctic Monkeys to maintain their original energy throughout its 15-year-long career.

But it’s hard not to reminiscence about the venom in lines such as “You tie yourself to the tracks and there isn’t no going back… but we’ll do it anyway ‘cause we love a bit of trouble,” from the early album “Favourite Worst Nightmare,” especially when one listens to the baffling pretentious-

ness of “My virtual reality mask is stuck on ‘Parliament Brawl’” of Leonard Cohen-inflected “American Sports.”

One of the first bands to climb to fame via the internet, the Arctic Monkeys have always understood the value of self-styling. With each album, they’ve deliberately constructed new visual and sound identities, for better or worse.

With the newest installation of its identity, the band

deserves praise for so stubbornly adhering to a sound that feels like an unflavored compromise of Arctic Monkeys past.

With past albums, the Arctic Monkeys deftly navigated music trends and rode the post-punk revival wave to its “AM” era ‘70s rock.

With “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino,” however, the album feels maddeningly solipsistic and hyper-aware of its own styling. Didn’t we leave coy aloofness in 2013?

I find myself growing impatient with Turner’s meandering contemplation of world politics, technology and “reflections in the silver screen of strange societies,” from the song “Science Fiction.”

“In the daytime, bendable figures with a fresh new pack of lies,” is a poetic lampooning of modern politics in “Golden Trunks,” but its lethargic delivery feels half-hearted and weary.

Where is the fury of early Arctic Monkeys?

I imagine the bar interior once more. Turner speechifies in the corner while swirling scotch in a tumbler, the amber liquor washing over the ice cube again and again in a stupefying loop.

I want to walk by and push the tumbler over the edge of the table. I want to see the scotch spill out among the shards on the floor. I want a mess.

Instead, I get the tidy calculation that is “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.” Five years after “AM,” the conceit that is the Arctic Monkeys has worn thin.

When fanned too briskly, it dissipates like the smoke of this imaginary bar.

COLE’S WORLD

Fashion in a professional setting will differ from Kilroy’s T-shirts

By Madison Cole madcole@iu.edu | @maddiee_paytonn

There comes a time when every college student must transition their wardrobe from student to young professional. This does not have to be a bad thing. Who doesn’t love an excuse to go shopping?

After four years of college it feels like you finally discovered your personal sense of fashion. With graduation, you are suddenly forced to start all over again, this time, though, in the real world.

Due to all of the excitement of graduation, your wardrobe choices can easily be overlooked, until companies start calling for job interviews and internships, then realize you have hard-

ly anything to wear. Lucky for you, I have discovered how to make this transition happen more seamlessly.

Fashion on campus differentiates from person to person. For some IU students, campus style was filled with rocking their favorite frat T-shirts, for others it may have been sporting local finds from Goodwill. No matter what your college look embodies, post-college is time to kick it up a notch. Gone are the days of throwing on random IU spirit wear and rushing to class, but if you are lucky you might land a job that allows jeans on Fridays.

Throw out your large collection of Kilroy’s T-shirts or maybe make them into a memorable blanket, because those bad boys will

not be used if you want to impress any employer at a place of work.

In the competitive work force, first impressions are

everything. Outside of work you should try to look presentable at all times, because you never know when a networking opportunity

could come your way.

The usual business attire is business casual. If you want to keep on sporting jeans rid yourself of the unprofessional hole kind, instead buy some nice dark washes that will go with any simple dress shirt. This combination is the perfect go to outfit for running errands.

Leggings are great for coziness in class but will not cut it at many work environments. Replace that comfort with a nice pair of trousers, or maybe a pencil skirt if you’re feeling sharp.

This is the office attire. Now is the time to dress to impress, and, for me, there is no greater place to show off a good sense of style than the office itself.

If business casual bores

you try adding some accessories to spice your outfit up.

Try a bright-colored belt at the waist. Wrap a fun scarf around your neck. Flats and heels can be anything but boring if you want them to be. Pick out styles that have trendy details such as buckles or sequins to truly stand out.

Jewelry is another way to completely turn a look around. Go for bright studs or pearls that will showcase a classy appeal.

College graduation does not mean you must give up your personal sense of style – your identity in fashion is just beginning and you are officially ready for an adult makeover. Now is the chance to show off the young professional you wish to be while having fun with a new appearance.

SIDE WITH SMITH

PHOTO COURTESY OF TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Finland’s entry, Lordi, singing “Hard Rock Hallelujah” during dress rehearsals for the Eurovision Song Contest in Athens, Greece, May 19, 2006.

Israel is not fit to organize Eurovision Even after its win in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, Israel is not ready to manage the event.

Ethan Smith is a junior in political science and philosophy.

Every year since 1956 the world has been blessed by the Eurovision Song Contest.

As one of the world’s longest-running and mostviewed contests broadcast on television, Eurovision is an international competition in which more than 40 eligible nations gather to compete with performances of original songs.

This contest has been colloquially called “The Gay Olympics” as it has been known to advocate for LGBT rights through performances from drag queens and transgender people.

This competition has sparked a few incredibly successful careers, such as those of ABBA, Bucks Fizz and Céline Dion.

It was decided in 1958 the winning country would henceforth manage the contest the next year within its borders, and although this event has been known to provide nations with a temporary, effective tourist opportunity, there have been times when a country was unable to accommodate the expenses necessary to man-

age the competition.

For example, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in the United Kingdom presented the contest after winning countries were unable to do so in 1960, 1963, 1972 and 1974. It started becoming known as the default option when a winning country declined.

Earlier this month Israel rightfully won this year’s contest with Jetta’s performance of “Toy,” a song supporting female empowerment and inspired by the popular #MeToo movement.

This has made Israel the nation responsible for the 2019 competition.

However, due to the harsh, divided political climate, social injustices and economic hardships that are continually prevalent in Israel, it is time for the BBC to come back out and save the day by offering to manage the contest in 2019.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been ongoing since the mid-20th century, and it does not seem to be slowing down any time soon.

There have been many deadly protests in the area.

For instance, just last week 60 Palestinians were killed

and over 2,700 were injured in Gaza, and Israel is defending its actions on the matter.

Likewise, Israel seems to be moving closer to warfare with Iran. There was an Israeli airstrike that killed two dozen Iranian soldiers just a couple of weeks ago.

Aside from international disputes, Israel has been known to restrict people’s natural rights to free speech.

For instance, last December Barak Cohen was sentenced to 300 hours of community service after simply criticizing the Israeli government on his Facebook account.

Eurovision is a competition with regional bloc voting, meaning countries have rivalries within the competition — just like sports — so it is inevitable that there will be verbal backlash toward the Israeli government while there to compete.

Furthermore, it was only seven years ago when 430,000 Israeli citizens took to the streets to protest for social justice.

Similarly, Israel’s economy is in a terrible place.

According to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, the country has one of the worst rates of income inequality and poverty, with nearly a

quarter of the population below the poverty line — which was $7.30 per day according to a CIA estimate in 2014. For a note of comparison, the poverty rate is less than 13 percent in the U.S., and the poverty line is over double that of Israel at nearly $16.00 per day according to the U.S. census bureau.

Israel is one of the least popular countries in the world in the eyes of other countries, according to a BBC poll.

I do not want to be misunderstood, however. I am not saying that Israel is a bad nation, not worth a visit or even wrong in its border battles with Palestinians.

I am saying, however, that Israel is not fit to put on the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest. The U.K. is a significantly more convenient, safer and economically affordable option.

The U.K. would also be able to uphold a more entertaining contest, considering the size of venues available.

The contest would take place at Israel’s International Convention Center, which is the largest convention center in the Middle East, yet has a capacity of only 3,104.

Let’s be honest — it will

be 2019, and Eurovision is getting bigger, more popular and more flamboyant each year. That is why it needs a worthy venue. The U.K. last managed Eurovision in 1998 in the Arena Birmingham, which has a capacity of 15,800, making an excellent venue for next year’s contest.

Likewise, there exists the Manchester Arena, the O2 Arena and Alexandra Palace, which all have even larger capacities.

Israel has every right to organize this competition.

However, it simply is not in the best interest of the nation itself or any participants in the contest. Until Israel decides to not go to war with Iran, shoot down civilians and promote inequality, Eurovision should take place elsewhere.

The BBC and the Israel Broadcasting Authority have equal responsibility to make this decision and do so in a timely manner to ensure economic stability in both countries as well as a well-planned event.

Eurovision is meant to be an amusing and diplomatic competition, so the presence of active war and injustices would be unjust to the other competing nations.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Fake news and what IU commencement speakers left out The trendy topics of fake news, the media and skepticism were in focus at the Indiana University Undergraduate Commencement ceremony held on May 5, 2018, but the advice given was from a by-gone era. On the surface the speakers were polished and the deliveries were good, but under the veneer was a shocking omission.

Michael A. McRobbie, the Indiana University president, spoke about the importance of ascertaining facts and determining what was true from what was false in his closing remarks. In an era where there is so much concern about fake news, this is understandable.

McRobbie talked about the importance of science and healthy skepticism. He reminded graduates of many of the wonderful blessings of modern technology. He specifically praised Enlightenment Era thinking and urged the graduating class to stick to the facts, science and to be skeptical. These statements coordinated with journalist, chairman and chief executive officer of the Tampa Bay Times and Times Publishing Co., Paul Tash’s comments earlier during the commencement address.

Tash emphasized discerning the truth in an era of fake news; he gave examples of purely fictitious news stories that stirred people to act in inappropri-

ate ways, such as the report that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was running a child sex ring out of a pizza parlor, which led to someone firing a rifle inside the establishment in 2016.

Indeed, it is important to separate fact from fiction; even more so in this internet age when consumers can gorge themselves on news that supports their views. But to suggest that discerning truth is that simple is a gross oversimplification that ignores the important advances of the postmodern critique of the enlightenment.

The question is not just “What is fact and what is fiction?” The question is also which facts are being presented.

Despite critics claiming otherwise, I suspect that Fox News and MSNBC present mostly facts in their news reportage (of course they broadcast a lot of opinion also)! But the question is which facts are being presented and for what purpose?

Whose facts? The razor we need to cut through the news reports to wisely discern truth involves understanding who is telling us these facts and why. If one knows the character and the ideology of the person or news outlet presenting the facts, then one has a better chance of discerning the whole truth in context.

The people who created the pizza parlor sex ring story had a reason, an

ideology and a kind of morality that resulted in their creation of that fake news.

Yet the greater danger to our understanding of the world in which we live and our ability to discern the truth is not the outright lies, but the presentation of partial truths: that is, the presentation of the facts out of context to influence public opinion. One of the things we have learned since the Enlightenment is that truth is power. Whoever defines the truth has tremendous power and such “truth defining” can be used for great good or for horrendous oppression.

What was missing in Mr. Tash’s and Dr. McRobbie’s presentations was an emphasis on the importance of character. If the journalist reporting the news is a person of integrity, there is a better chance of receiving less bias and more of the facts in the proper context.

Speaking to thousands of assembled graduates about the future and emphasizing only science and the facts without any mention of character is shocking. What we need is not simply pure science and healthy skepticism; we need people of character, people of moral integrity and people who care.

The same science that can be used to find a cure for cancer can be used to create biological weapons that could

destroy all of humanity. In an era of increasingly powerful technological advancement, such as CRISPR technology that allows scientists to alter DNA, we need so much more than just to be enamored by scientific advancement; we need people of moral integrity and character who will seek to use the technology for the betterment of humanity. In this dangerous political era we need more than the counsel to search for truth; we need people of character who will present all the facts in context and let the individual decide which ideology to follow.

The omission of any discussion of morality and character at commencement is even more shocking given that Indiana has marvelous colleges for visual and performing arts. Artists help us interpret the facts and understand the implications. Artists warn us, and they help us find joy in living. Living without art, focusing purely on science leads to a cold, joyless and dangerous world. Our best hope for the future is not just the facts and science, as important as they may be: it is people of moral character who will discern truth in context.
