PARTIES ON PAUSE IU Panhellenic Association, Interfraternity Council suspend social functions until further notice

By David Wolfe Bender benderd@iu.edu | @dbenderpt

Editor’s note: This article includes mentions of sexual violence.

The suspension of all social activities for IU Greek life will last at least until the end of the semester, according to an email obtained by the Indiana Daily Student on Saturday.

The email, authored by IU’s Panhellenic Association and Indiana Fraternity Council leadership, detailed the specific parameters of the restrictions. No paired events will take place on or off campus, according to the email.

Chapters found to have been violating the guidelines can be subject to a fine up to $2,000 and could face a judicial board hearing, according to the email.

The guidelines will continue to allow for certain philanthropic events.

The parameters included in the email left open the option for an extension of the social events restriction into next semester.

PHA included a list of action items for both the IFC and PHA to implement over the next few weeks. Some of the items include sexual assault training and a review of accountability policies.

A sexual assault was reported at Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house Oct. 31. Two other incidents of sexual assault were reported Sept. 6. One of those was allegedly at a fraternity house on North Jordan, according to an IU-Notify alert.

Indiana men’s basketball avoided an upset in its season-opener against Eastern Michigan University on Tuesday night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, starting the Mike Woodson era off with a 68-62 victory.

Indiana’s starting five consisted of three transfers in senior forward Miller Kopp and senior guards Xavier Johnson and Parker Stewart. Junior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis and senior forward Race Thompson, a pair of Indiana veterans, rounded out the lineup.

Indiana brought fans into the game early, jumping out to a 10-0 lead off solid perimeter defense and a pair of threes from Stewart. Eastern Michigan’s first basket came over seven minutes into the first half.

The Hoosiers’ defense shined in the first half, allowing just 19 points and forcing the Eagles to a 22.6% shooting percentage with only seven made field goals.

“I keep saying if we can build

a defensive foundation here, we’ll be in every ball game and give ourselves a chance to win,” Woodson said.

Ahead of the game, Woodson pinpointed the Hoosiers’ depth as the key for a successful start to the nonconference portion of the schedule. The Hoosiers’ bench unit responded well, contributing 13 of the team’s 36 first-half points. Senior guard Rob Phinisee led all Indiana players with seven points at the break.

Freshman guard Tamar Bates, whose status ahead of the game was questionable due to an undisclosed injury he suffered during the preseason, played 15 minutes off the bench and scored six points.

Despite taking a convincing 3619 lead at halftime, Woodson said Indiana allowed Eastern Michigan back into the game by getting too comfortable. In the second half, Eastern Michigan outscored Indiana 43-32.

A key component in Eastern Michigan’s comeback was Indiana’s inability to knock down three-pointers and timely free throws, a theme

of recent seasons. Indiana shot 4-of24 from behind the arc and all of the makes came in the first 20 minutes.

At the charity stripe, Indiana shot 60%.

“These same guys have been making them in practice, but they have to get comfortable taking them in the game, and they will,” Woodson said.

Jackson-Davis’ contributions helped the Hoosiers survive the Eagles’ late push. He scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half and posted a double-double with 14 rebounds in the season-opener.

“If I don’t bring it, then we’re not gonna go,” Jackson-Davis said.

“I played the whole second half, so that’s just another thing with my conditioning is being able to stay on the floor.”

Eastern Michigan freshman guard Noah Farrakhan sparked the comeback, shooting 3-of-5 from deep in the second half and leading his team with 18 points.

“Our switching was good for the most part, but we still have to challenge shots,” Woodson said of Indiana’s defense. “We got soft. We were

comfortable with the lead.”

Woodson said he’s much happier to start the season 1-0 than 0-1, and made it clear that it will take time for Indiana to get into the swing of things.

“This is a team we’ve assembled that’s trying to learn how to win,” Woodson said. “This is the first test with the team, and I’m happy we didn’t crack down the stretch, but we’ll have to go back and watch film.”

Woodson said he took in the sights and sounds of his first game as the head coach of his alma mater, but wanted the attention he received to be focused on his players and the goals Indiana is trying to reach.

“It’s good to be back and it’s a special time for me, but this isn’t about me,” Woodson said. “This is about the 17 guys wearing this uniform. We’re trying to get them back on top and teaching them how to win ball games.”

Indiana’s six-game home stand to begin the season continues against Northern Illinois University at 7 p.m. Friday in Bloomington.

Under new federal guidelines, Bloomington city government is required to mandate its employees to either receive the COVID-19 vaccine or be tested weekly and wear masks during work. This regulation will take effect starting Jan. 4, 2022, Mayor John Hamilton said.

Hamilton said during the city’s weekly COVID-19 press conference Friday that vaccinated city employees will need to demonstrate their vaccination status. Unvaccinated city employees will be required to wear a mask at work.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced new requirements Thursday for employers with more than 100 employees to enforce vaccinations.

OSHA also requires these employers to offer paid leave for employees to take the vaccine and recover from their side effects.

The new OSHA rule comes after President Joe Biden announced a set of vaccine mandates in early September to combat the spread of COVID-19.

Students participate in sexual violence walkout

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

More than 100 students gathered Friday evening at the intersection of North Jordan Avenue and North Fee Lane to

protest reoccurring sexual violence at IU. Representatives at Zeta Beta Tau said they organized the walkout to raise awareness about sexual violence, according to a GroupMe message obtained by the IDS. The fraternity’s president Jesse Rosenberg said he asked participants not

to speak to the media.

The walkout took place less than a week after IU Police Department reported a sexual assault and battery that took place at a different fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, Sunday.

In a long line, the participants walked on the sidewalk down North Jordan Avenue.

IUPD officers in two vehicles followed the students, telling them to stay off the road and helping them cross the street.

After about half an hour, the participants reached East Law Lane and turned around.

The line of protesters slowly got smaller as the students returned to their fraternity

Monroe Co. Health announces “Super Shot” clinics

By Sean Gilley spgilley@iu.edu | @SeanyG729

The Monroe County Public Health Clinic announced in a press release they will partner with local schools for “Super Shot” clinics to administer the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to children 5 to 11 years old starting Nov. 18.

Parents will soon be able to schedule appointments for their children to be vaccinated at both Edgewood Primary School and Bloomington High School South.

Edgewood is offering a threehour time slot starting at 4 p.m. Nov. 18 for children to receive their first dose and another slot from 4 to 7 p.m.

on Dec. 9 for the second dose.

Bloomington High School South will also offer two slots for first and second dose vaccinations. The first will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 20 and the second will be Dec. 11 during the same time window.

COVID in Bloomington: IU-Bloomington reports 20 COVID-19 cases, setting lowest weekly case record since August Public health nurses will be providing vaccinations for children in this age range during regular school days for schools that request for this assistance. Children can also receive vaccinations at

local pharmacies and from their pediatrician during a routine visit.

Families can also receive vaccinations from mobile clinics at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway parking lot.

The Indiana Department of Health is offering these clinics Tuesdays through Fridays from 4 to 8 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. until Nov. 20.

These clinics follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky’s endorsement of the CDC panel’s unanimous recommendation Nov. 2 to offer the vaccine to children in this age range.

Similar to adult vaccines, these doses will be administered twice, at least 21 days apart from each other. The pediatric dose only contains one-third of the regular sized dose, but it is still 90.7% effective, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

Some children may experience side effects similar to those of the adult vaccines. These may include sore arm, headache, fatigue, fever, muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes, nausea and a decrease in appetite.

IU professor comments on modern antisemitism

By Carter DeJong cadejong@iu.edu | @Dejong_carter

More than 100 people attended a webinar discussing modern antisemitism on college campuses Nov. 8.

The webinar was led by Ayal Feinberg, associate professor of political science at Texas A&M University-Commerce, and Gunther Jikeli, a professor in the Jewish Studies program and the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism at IU. Universities generally fail to protect their Jewish communities, Feinberg said.

Over 18% of hate crimes reported on college campuses in the U.S. are done against Jewish individuals and institutions, Feinburg said.

Feinburg called for more funding for research into modern antisemitism on college campuses.

In 2020, IU had the ninth-highest population of Jewish students of American universities according to Hillel International, a U.S.-based Jewish organization.

There have been multiple reports of antisemitic acts on IU’s campus, including early this semester when a mezuzah was torn down from a Jewish student’s dorm room door in an IU residence hall. Mezu-

zahs are important Jewish symbols placed on doors of living spaces. One of the most important Jewish prayers is placed inside the mezuzah.

“The vast majority of hate crimes targeting Jews target them not as individuals but as institutions,” Feinburg said.

The presence of Jewish institutions on campus increases the amount of hate crimes according to Feinburg’s research.

Interim Provost and Executive Vice President John Applegate released a statement Oct. 29 condemning acts of antisemitism and islamophobia.

“When one part of our IU community is targeted with hate, we all feel it,” Applegate said.

Antisemitism was reported at multiple universities in the last three years. In October, someone dumped detergent over a Torah, the Jewish holy text, at a fraternity house at George Washington University. Last year, the University of Delaware’s Chabad Center was the victim of an arson attack. In 2018, an office belonging to a Jewish professor at Columbia University was vandalized with swastikas.

Over 60 percent of religion-based hate crimes in 2019 occurred against Jewish people, according to the FBI.

DA’NASIA DID IT

Incarcerated people deserve human rights

By Da’Nasia Pruitt pruittd@iu.edu | @danasialp

According to The Guardian, Rikers Island is currently under dangerous and deadly conditions. There is a lack of toilets in the prison forcing inmates to relieve themselves in bags. There have been multiple counts of deaths in the prison and overcrowding.

No one deserves to be treated inhumanely, not even prisoners.

According to The Guardian, Rikers Island is one of the largest and most notorious prisons in the world, known for its inhumane conditions and high inmate numbers.

Rikers Island is just one piece of the prison industrial complex and part of a bigger problem. People should think about other means of implementing safe ways in order to reduce harm besides captivity.

The abolishment of slavery by the 13th Amendment was the catalyst to what we now call the “prison industrial complex.” The 13th Amendment only abolished slavery if you had never committed a crime.

The origins of prisons and jails began in America as early as the 1700s. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, prisons were not originally intended for punishment. They were essentially detention centers where people would wait until they received a punishment, sometimes resulting in death.

After slavery was abolished, the U.S. government made a loophole by ensuring Black people could still be slaves by putting them in prison. Other aspects that ensured the keeping of Black Americans in prison were Jim Crow laws and “The War on Drugs’’ which eventually led to mass incarceration.

Decades later, people are still suffering from the effects of

the three.

People may think if criminals don’t go to jail, where will they go? How will they pay for their crimes? How will people be safe? Some may even think people go to jail to learn from their mistakes.

While all of these are sound reasons, let’s take a look at reality. According to The U.S Department of Justice, 650,000 prisoners are released every year, and ⅔ of those prisoners will be rearrested within three years of release.

There are also people in

jails who have not committed a crime.

Kalief Browder was 16 when he was accused of stealing a book bag but was never convicted. He was detained at Rikers Island as an adult for the next three years and couldn’t be released because he couldn’t afford bail.

Browder spent two of those three years in solitary confinement. Two years after his release, he died by suicide after suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder because of the horrors he experience within the Rikers Island cells.

Prison affects you mentally and physically, and this physical and mental stress often follows you even after you’ve left prison. This is not an isolated event specific to Rikers Island. This is what all prisons do to you, especially to Black and Brown people.

IU sophomore Minnie Arthur is close with people who were involved with the prison system. Her brother’s dad was in prison for eight years and had an associate who waited several years before receiving an actual prison sentence.

Arthur said she feels that

people in prison should have basic human rights because their freedom being taken away is more than enough punishment.

“Society puts so much stress on people to punish them,” Arthur said. “It should be a place where they can recreate themselves and have the ability to actually better themselves.”

The idea that people in prisons and jails deserve the treatment and conditions they are living in is disgusting. American prisons were not formed as a means to rehabilitate people; they were

meant to keep people captive, produce labor and make capital.

Jails and prisons should not be places for people to be sent to pay for the harm they did only to be released and commit the same crime that got them there in the first place, nor should they be used for punishment in general.

It’s time that people begin to think about other ways to reduce harm and keep people safe.

It’s time to take the words “prison” and “jail” out of our vocabulary.

Howard students experience poor living conditions

By Tiera Howleit thowleit@iu.edu | @officialtiera

Students feel let down as they continue to be forced to live in poor conditions at the historical Black institution Howard University, gaining national attention on CNN and NBC News bringing awareness to them.

Howard sophomore Taran Richardson said the issues stem from problems with on-campus housing.

Some of the issues Richardson noticed are molding, lack of PPE, unmaintained rooms and buildings, frequent flooding and other hazardous circumstances that affect the well-being of students.

While Richardson said the issue does not directly affect him, he was not able to live on campus due to the very limited housing options available.

Howard sophomore Asha Abdullah said the housing situation all around is not the best. Abdullah said a lot of frustration comes from upperclassmen as they have been forced to live off-campus.

“Rent is expensive, and there is not a lot of affordable housing so students have to live in Maryland and buy cars to commute,” Abdullah said.

For many students the living conditions are quite

hazardous as some students have had to be admitted into hospitals for illnesses, according to Abdullah.

“For the first three weeks, I had this horrible cough that many other students had,” Abdullah said. “I was taking all kinds of medicines, but nothing was working. Turns out we had mold in our vents.”

Abdullah said the #blackburntakeover took off after a student town hall meeting where students asked the campus president and administrators to attend, but they did not.

The hashtag #blackburntakeover gained traction on social media to draw attention to these issues on campus. The tag has over 1,300 posts on Instagram as of Monday.

“It is now day 24 of protests, and it is really unfortunate because you would think that the administration would do something, so that students don’t feel they have to be outside of a building when it is 50 degrees outside,” Abdullah said in reference to the student-led protests.

Howard President Wayne A.I. Frederick responded to these protests during his State of the University Address.

“I am empathetic to the students who have had concerns,” Frederick said in the

speech. “Whether one student had mold in his or her room or one student was affected by wifi, that is more than enough.”

Richardson has also noticed a response from the Howard administration.

“I would say that overtime of the issue picking up a lot of traction and causing more commotion they have become very responsive and very alert about the issue,” Richardson said.

Abdullah has a family legacy when it comes to attending Howard University and said the administration has never been the best.

“It is 2021; I feel like basic living conditions should not be something we have to advocate for,” Abdullah said.

“I would think that Howard would care about their reputation; we have alumni in the White House.”

Abdullah still has a great adoration for the university despite their lack of urgency.

“I still love Howard, I am not going anywhere,” Abdullah said. “I like the institution, but I wish it felt like our voices were being heard instead of ignored.”

Richardson said the university has some work to do in order to regain the trust of their students and the Black community.

“The university’s lack of urgency was and is an issue and definitely is letting the

Black community down in a major way,” Richardson said.

“I say this because many people advocate for HBCUs for their support of Black people and their stature.”

Richardson believes Howard can improve and

move past these issues.

“By taking into account the mistakes that they made and learning from them rather than not learning anything will show the student that they are making the effort to improve and that’s how

you regain trust with the students,” Richardson said.

As a beacon of light and hope for many Black individuals across the world, Howard should do better for their current and prospective students.

Atlanta news anchor Jovita Moore dies from brain cancer

By Amani Gates amagates@iu.edu | amani_gates

On Oct. 28, Atlanta’s very own news anchor Jovita Moore died. Moore had an aggressive form of brain cancer and was diagnosed in April.

Her doctors discovered two masses on Moore’s brain, later diagnosing her with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer which affects the brain and spinal cord. There is no cure for this specific cancer, only treatments to stop the tumor from rapidly growing.

Jovita had a long and suc-

cessful career in the journalism industry. She received her master’s in broadcast journalism from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York City and a bachelor’s of arts degree from Bennington College.

Her career in news started with an internship at the New York Times, and from then on, she flourished in broadcasting. Moore worked for WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia, since 1998 and was moved to the main anchor desk where she worked until her death last month.

In 2017, she was inducted

into the Silver Circle, one of the most prestigious awards anyone in journalism can receive. This is given to broadcasters who have left their mark in over 25 years of being in the business. Jovita was awarded several Emmy awards for her work at WSBTV and as a member of the Atlanta Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Black Journalists.

Shaynah Ferreria, a reporter for FOX29 in Philadelphia, met Jovita Moore at the 2019 National Association of Black Journalist Convention and aspired to be an anchor

like Jovita.

“For so many young Black journalists, Jovita Moore was our standard,” Ferreria wrote in a tweet. “A class act, trusted journalist and a beautiful spirit. Jovita was unapologetically Black and owned everything she was… she gave us Black journalists permission to be us.”

Dave Jordan, an Emmynominated journalist, was a friend of Moore and witnessed how she influenced the community.

“Young journalists, mentoring them, going to NABJ conferences was her soft spot,” he said in an interview.

According to WSB-TV, outside of work, community service was something Moore held close to her heart. She always had a helping hand in the Atlanta community. She helped organizations across Atlanta such as Meals on Wheels, Our House and United Way. “She was a constant MC of our African American partnership luncheon,” the president of United Way of Greater Atlanta, Milton Little, said in an interview with WSB-TV. “She was incredibly generous. Atlanta has lost an amazing woman and civic leader.”

“This is an overreach of the government’s role in serving and protecting Hoosiers,” Holcomb said in the release. “While I agree that the vaccine is the tool that will best protect against COVID-19, this federal government approach is unprecedented and will bring about harmful, unintended consequences in the supply chain and the workforce.”

Volunteers plant trees to improve IU's biodiversity

By Lauren Ulrich laaulric@iu.edu | @LaurenUlrich5

IU students, faculty and community members planted native trees in a little-known part of IU’s campus Nov. 6 in an effort to restore forest ecosystems on campus.

Attendees planted 38 native trees Saturday, O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs professor Jon Eldon said. Eldon said events like these are an investment in the future.

“You want a nice forest 50 years from now?” he said. “You’ve got to plant trees now, even if you don't see the benefits for decades.”

Almost two dozen volunteers wearing garden gloves and work boots gathered in the forested area tucked behind the O’Neill School building.

“Everybody talks about Dunn Woods but not about woodlots like this one,” Eldon said to attendees, gesturing to the trees behind him. “This woodlot has gotten more attention in the past two weeks than in the last 100 years.”

The week prior on Oct. 30 Eldon helped lead an invasive species removal event at the same location. Volunteers returned to the woodlot Saturday for the second part of Sustain IU’s “A Resilient Woodland Campus” event series.

Saturday’s event, sponsored by the College of Arts and Science’s 2021 Themester theme of “Resilience”, aimed to improve the health of IU’s campus woodlots by planting native tree spe-

cies. Eldon said campus woodlots — patches of small wooded areas scattered throughout campus — are a critical yet often overlooked piece of IU’s campus ecosystem.

“People make use of Dunn Woods every day, but we've got 10 or 20 Dunn Woods on campus,” he said. “We just don't don't recognize the other ones.”

Campus woodlots haven’t been actively managed in generations, Eldon said. They’ve been overtaken by invasive species, like bush honeysuckle, and are now dominated by maple trees, which despite their vivid fall colors, don’t provide the same benefits as other native species like oak, hickory, black gum and yellowwood.

Improving campus woodlots is crucial to ensuring a future healthy campus, Eldon said.

Woodlots can help mitigate climate impacts by absorbing heat, aiding stormwater runoff, reducing erosion, storing carbon and providing wildlife habitat.

Eldon said students have driven recent efforts to conserve woodlots, including a class project surveying the health of campus woodlots in 2019. Student involvement is especially important as IU Landscape Services is dramatically understaffed due to COVID-19 and doesn’t have the resources to extend to woodlots, he said.

Bloomington project, said she was encouraged to see IU students help plant nearly 40 trees in one afternoon.

“By students taking initiative and reaching out to Landscape Services or professors that can get them involved in urban forestry on campus, they can really make a big difference,” Gregory said.

IU sophomore Cooper Sykes said he grew closer to IU’s campus Saturday by getting his hands dirty while planting a sapling.

“As a part of the Bloomington community, we're collectively responsible to create a sustainable campus,” he said. “Part of the way you build that relationship is learning about the woodlots that

people have never really thought about before because just as each individual student matters, every individual tree here on campus has a purpose.”

Eldon said three times more attendees than expected came to Saturday’s tree planting event. He said he’s hopeful for the future of campus woodlots after witnessing students like Sykes eager to spend their weekend shoveling dirt and pulling out invasive vines.

“There's a lot of work to be done, but even just what I'm seeing now is really exciting,” he said.

“Knowing there's this level of interest from students, let's ramp it up in the spring. Let's plant a thousand trees.”

CLEAR CUT

The ‘Midwest-nice’ phenomena shouldn’t be taken for granted Chris Sciortino (he/him) is a junior studying theater and public relations.

I had just made my third trip around a block on Eighth street in New York City. Not wanting to circle it another time, I decided to ask someone for directions. I turned to the first person I saw, and before I could fully get out where I needed to go, they brushed past me and said, “not now.” Two other people also continued walking after I asked.

So I took a guess, headed two blocks north and went on with my day. But I couldn’t help but think about how in most Midwest cities I’d visited, people were more than happy to give directions, especially to those who you can tell are from out of town.

Was I a Midwest-kidout-of-water floundering in the big city?

After visiting many cities across the country, I’ve realized the “Midwestnice” phenomena is very real and a special blend of politeness, personability and general kindness.

I’m a Midwesterner through and through. My entire life has mostly taken place in three places. I was born in St. Louis, raised in the suburbs of Chicago and am going to school in Bloomington. While each city has its respective cultures, they all draw heavily from Midwestern identities

and values.

What exactly are Midwestern values? From my perspective, they’re pretty easily identified. Growing up I was ingrained in a community-centered culture that encouraged people to speak to people kindly, even in the worst of situations. I was pushed to get to know the people around me, make good friends with those people and help them out as frequently as I can. All of this with the expectation that if you put that energy out into the world, you were bound to get it back.

Maybe I’m biased, but these are outstanding messages to be surrounded by.

Social scientists and polls tend to agree with this evaluation of the Midwestnice phenomenon. A study about regional differences in psychological characteristics among regions of the United States highlighted the Midwest as containing high levels of conscientiousness and openness, the exact opposite of the expressed attitudes I experienced in New York City. It made me realize how specific and special this widespread helpfulness was.

I’m not trying to knock other regions of the country, but the perception that Midwesterners are much nicer permeates into the rest of the country’s view of the region. According to a University of Cambridge study, 1.6 million U.S. citi-

ILLUSTRATION BY JACK DONNELLY

zens surveyed designated the Midwest with the title “Friendly and Conventional Region.” They also labeled the northeast and Texas as “temperamental and uninhibited” while the west coast was considered “relaxed and creative.”

The Midwest-nice phenomena is more than just a self-identified distinction.

It’s greatly noticed, characterized and sometimes criticized by others.

Many articles on this topic praise the “facade” of Midwest-nice behavior

while criticizing the passive aggressiveness that stems from constantly being cordial. Tara Carr, a small business development director at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, said the Midwest-nice behavior can have a negative effect on a work environment.

“Midwesterners are more likely to avoid speaking to others in a perceived negative way, rather than deal with the issues directly,” Carr said. “This passive aggressive behavior in

the workplace can erupt in many ways: consistent negative attitude, being disruptive, blaming others for mistakes, making sarcastic comments.”

While I’ve certainly run into my fair share of passive aggressive people in my life, I would hardly say I’ve run into more in the Midwest than I have in any other part of the country.

Sure, Midwest-nice values could lead to emotion masking and poor behavior. But more often than not, I’ve seen it come from

a place of advocacy and authentic kindness that is often hard to find in other parts of the country.

As I’ve begun eyeing potential places to live after college, I’ve realized how much I will miss the genuine personability that surrounds me in the Midwest.

I feel lucky to have been raised in an environment that taught me politeness and kindness, and I hope to bring that special energy out into the world wherever I go. csciorti@iu.edu

JACOB’S JAWING

Give Puerto Rico proper representation in Congress

PHOTO FROM TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A supporter holds up the flag of Puerto Rico as then-Democratic Presidential candidate and former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden delivers remarks Oct. 29, 2020, at a drive-in event in Coconut Creek, Florida.

Jacob Spudich (he/him) is a freshman studying journalism and political science.

Puerto Rico has a population of just under 3.2 million, greater than 21 of the 50 U.S. states. Puerto Rican citizens have American citizenship, yet they have zero say in our presidential elections.

Puerto Rico, along with other U.S. territories, must be represented properly in Congress and be able to rightfully vote for their president.

Presidential elections in the U.S. are decided through the Electoral College. In this process, all 50 states, along with Washington, D.C., are given a certain number of electoral votes. Once a candidate reaches 270 votes, they secure the White House.

The number of electoral votes a state receives depends on its size. The state with the most electoral votes is California with 55 votes. Seven states, along with Washington, D.C., receive the fewest number

of electoral votes—they each have three.

Out of the 538 total electoral votes, none belong to Puerto Rico, the United States’ biggest territory.

Due to lack of statehood, Puerto Rico has no representation in the Senate and just one delegate in the House of Representatives. However, delegates aren’t the same as representatives in that they play a marginal role.

Jenniffer González-Colón, Puerto Rico’s delegate, has a

limited role as Resident Commissioner. She is restricted to only voting in committees she belongs to and has no right to vote for the final passing of bills, not even bills related to Puerto Rico. Even still, González-Colón represents five times as many citizens as an average member of the House.

Other U.S. territories have delegates in the House of Representatives including American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the

U.S. Virgin Islands.

The combined electoral votes of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico? Zero.

The reason for lackadaisical representation can be found in the 1901 U.S. Supreme Court case Downes v. Bidwell.

In a summary of the case’s decision, the Bar Association of Puerto Rico said “Justice Brown observed that because the ‘alien races’ that inhabited the new territories that the United States had acquired differed from other Americans,” their understanding of the laws and administration of the United States would, at the time, be impossible.

A case over 120 years old still serves as justification for denying full representation to U.S. territories.

It’s no wonder Puerto Rico is still seen as an outcast.

In 2017, after multiple hurricanes hit Puerto Rico, the Trump administration delayed aid to the territory; meanwhile, houses were destroyed and uninhabitable. At least 2,975 people died, and it took a year to fully restore power to the island.

“Can we sell the island?”

Trump said.

But when it comes to elections, candidates are quick to capitalize on Puerto Rico’s sentimental value.

In the 2020 presidential race, both Joe Biden and Donald Trump campaigned in Puerto Rico in hopes of persuading the ears of voters in Florida.

In an Associated Press ar-

ticle, writers Dánica Coto and Adriana Gomez Licon spoke about the political strategy. “It’s a novel role that plays off the sentiment that Puerto Ricans in Florida feel they are voting by proxy for those back home left out of U.S. democracy,” Coto and Licon said.

“I’m voting for 3 million Puerto Ricans on the island, including my entire family,” said Jerick Mediavilla in an interview by the Associated Press.

Puerto Rican voters residing in Florida make up 27% of the Hispanic population in Florida.

The will to vote isn’t unique to Puerto Rico, it’s also present in other U.S. territories such as Guam.

According to the 2010 census, almost 14% of Guam’s residents serve in the United States Military yet are unable to vote for the President of the United States. They aren’t able to vote but they still turn out to cast meaningless ballots every four years. Their turnout for casting empty ballots is even greater than those casting actual ballots.

In the 2012 presidential election, 67% of registered voters in Guam turned out to cast their ballots. That year in the United States, there was only a 61.8% turnout.

Along with other U.S. territories, Puerto Rico’s willingness to vote is evident. The reasons they’re unable to vote are outdated and racist. Puerto Rican residents even pay some U.S. taxes despite their lack of representation. jaspudi@iu.edu

NOTHIN’ BUT NAT

Journalists are not immune to emotional and physiological trauma Natalie Gabor (she/her) is a senior studying journalism with minors in business marketing and philosophy.

I wrote an obituary about an IU law student, Purva, who was struck and killed by an SUV during my sophomore year on the IDS news desk. It was devastating. I spoke with the victim’s friends and family and learned as much as I could about who she was to tell her story.

We never talk about mental health for journalists. Society sees us as these soulless beings programmed exclusively to receive information and regurgitate it into a digestible story for readers. It appears methodical and robotic. And how could it not?

Many depictions of journalists portray us as ambulancechasing leeches, anxiously awaiting our big break — but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The article about Purva took me weeks to finish. Deadlines are integral for journalists, but mustering the courage to write this story felt impossible.

Though I finally produced something I hoped was an accurate and flattering recount of her life, it left me shaken.

The obituary stayed with me. Now, I almost never cross the street when other cars can turn into the crosswalk unless I’ve quadruple checked my surroundings and my friends don’t always understand when I grab their collar before they casually stroll across the road.

Sometimes, I think about where Purva might be as she was getting ready to graduate law school with a job before her tragic accident. I actually think about her all the time — and she’s someone I’ve never met.

And that’s the thing about journalists. We all have at least one story or source that for whatever reason completely sticks with us — one we’re unable to let go of. Quotes and faces often blur into my mind’s obscurity, but never those I spoke with for the obituary.

Never those who knew Purva.

My job as a campus administration reporter was broad and covered various topics but for some journalists, these kinds of stories are their entire beat. Some only cover tragic events or people who’ve died. It

wears on you after a while.

I’ve been in the newsroom.

I’ve seen the hard work and dedication to the truth embodied by everyone who works there. I’ve seen reporters cry over stories and deadlines, working tirelessly to get things right. These behaviors often go unnoticed.

Instead, journalists are expected to “get over it” and “move on” after reporting stressful and traumatic phenomena. We’re expected to ignore the influx of ruthless hate comments from strangers on the internet. Though journalists are typically more resilient to emotional stressors, that doesn’t make us immune to a constant bombardment of negativity from multiple angles.

Because today’s news cycle

is seemingly plagued by a perpetual dark cloud looming over daily developments, it can be easy to get caught up in the storm. But journalists must preserve their mental health, just as anybody else.

Some psychology and journalism experts recommend prioritizing self-care and compassion to avoid just “getting over it,” calming the body down, talking to trusted friends or colleagues, factoring in recovery time and even engaging in cathartic activities following a stressful event. Others recommend setting clear and concrete boundaries to avoid further emotional stress, particularly for those from marginalized communities.

It’s important to remember there’s a person behind

the byline. Journalists are capable of the same emotional and physiological responses to trauma as others. Reporting is a tireless and often thankless job, but that’s not why we do it.

The opportunity to shed light on important issues and communities in need is sacrosanct and serves a purpose much greater than ourselves. And we wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I feel so grateful I got to know Purva through those that loved her. Though we’ll never meet in person, she’s someone who will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Being a journalist provided the opportunity to tell her story, and it’s something I treasure. natgabor@iu.edu

Sustainable alternatives to fall fashion trends

By Sami Sharfin ssharfin@iu.edu

The fashion industry has had a significant impact on our environment, but more and more people are opting for online shopping. Many of these sites also promote fast fashion.

Fast fashion is the phenomenon of producing clothes for the rapid influx of trends through quick production at declining costs within the fashion industry, leading to waste. At the same time, we as consumers have become increasingly aware of our carbon footprint.

However, when you want to invest in new clothing

items, there are many brands that implement ethical practices and use recycled, natural materials. Here are some examples of sustainable alternatives to the season’s hottest trends, allowing you to simultaneously feel good and do good.

Puffer jackets These cozy coats are here to stay. Made with 100% recycled post-consumer plastic water bottles, the cropped puffer from Girlfriend Collective can keep you warm going into the winter months.

Lounge sets Looking for an athleisure set with a tie-dye print or a

pop of color? Look no further than Back Beat Co. The California-based lifestyle brand uses low-impact fibers, which means they are either sustainably farmed or recycled.

Clips, claws and barrettes galore The resurrection of these 1990s hair accessory trends is very much alive and can be seen around campus. Located in Atlanta, MACHETE is an eco-conscious jewelry and accessory company.

Made from recycled brass and ethically-sourced gold and silver, the MACHETE handmade ‘90s-inspired claw clips come in all

shapes and sizes.

sustainable, vegan leather.

Baggy denim jeans With denim, consumers want something that’s going to last. That’s why I suggest giving Levi’s SecondHand a peek. Ranging from light to dark washes, Levi’s SecondHand keeps denim pieces in circulation, giving your jeans that “lived-in” feel whenever you put them on.

Sling-back bags For an athletic, on-thego fanny pack, take a look at Baggu and Everlane. Both Baggu and Everlane’s bags are made with 100% recycled materials. If you’re looking for a less sporty vibe, Pixie Mood’s 100% vegan leather waist bag may be the choice for you.

Loafers These can so easily be dressed up or down. Specifically, chunky loafers are one of fall and winter’s top shoe trends. Alohas offers loafers in a variety of colors made out of eco-friendly materials like

ICYMI: After the Audition Power pants From pops of color to geometric patterns, these pants are bold. Reformation and Known Supply have printed pants made out of organic cotton that are bound to make a statement.

Casual runners Since 2005, Veja has been committed to manufacturing sneakers with a positive impact at each stage of the production process. The French footwear brand’s retro sneakers are made with raw materials from organic and ecological farming, without chemicals or polluting processes.

Shirt jackets Also known as “shackets,” these slightly oversized, classic menswear-inspired buttonfront jackets can double as a shirt. Madewell partnered with the “Better Cotton” initiative to help improve cotton farming globally.

Thanksgiving movies to watch in November

By Joseph Bell arts@idsnews.com

Thanksgiving has always been the poor and unfortunate middle child of the fall and winter holiday season.

With Halloween at it’s back in October and Christmas and other year-end religious holidays such as Hanukkah in December right after, it’s unsurprising that Thanksgiving feels a little cramped.

It’s for this reason Thanksgiving does not have much of a cultural niche. Scary films are a bit of a tradition for many in October. And many see any time after Nov. 1 as open season for Christmas

music and movies.

Thanksgiving just does not have as much of an appeal as the other two bigger holidays. The story of the Pilgrims and Native Americans coming together for the first Thanksgiving meal is pretty on paper, but not much media has been made around it, especially as awareness in recent years has increased skepticism of that story.

Thanksgiving-themed movies may be in short supply, but there’s still a catalog of movies that are set around Thanksgiving time that may have slipped the average Thanksgiving fan’s memory.

Here are some worth mentioning:

Horoscope

“Rocky” One movie that comes to mind is “Rocky,” starring Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa. The classic movie about a man training to be the very best he can be at boxing is not branded as a Thanksgiving movie, but it does have important moments set during the holiday.

The Thanksgiving shoutout features Rocky’s best friend, Paulie, bringing Rocky home on the holiday to help the burgeoning boxer meet and go out with his sister, Adrian. The holiday falls in line with the general themes of Rocky’s pursuit to the top regardless of any obstacle, with him saying to Adrian: “To

you it’s Thanksgiving, to me it’s Thursday.”

“Spider-Man” If superhero films are the genre of choice for an enterprising Thanksgiving movie viewer, another option could be “Spider-Man,” starring Tobey Maguire as the iconic Marvel character. Much like “Rocky,” this movie only features the holiday in a small portion, but it is relevant to the plot.

In this movie, part of the story occurs over the Thanksgiving holiday and dinner, with strong themes of family. Spider-Man and his best friend’s family are both present, as well as the girl they are

both in love with, with a goal of everyone coming together to celebrate the holiday. The resulting dinner is a scene with plenty of intriguing character interactions, as like in many Thanksgivings, things do not exactly go the way as planned. With rumors of Maguire’s interpretation of the character making a reappearance in the upcoming “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” this may be a good time to rewatch this flick.

“Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” If it’s a laugh you’re looking for, the John Hughes movie “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles,” starring Steve Martin

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is a 7 — Work it out with your partner before committing to a large purchase. Market changes could shift your priorities. Avoid arguments. Monitor finances and reassess.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8 — Coordinate with your partner around changes, barriers or obstacles. Tempers may be short. Curb your own automatic reactions to reduce the heat. Relax together.

and John Candy, is a classic Thanksgiving comedy. The entire plot of the movie surrounds the characters trying to get from New York City to Chicago in two days for Thanksgiving, with a wacky and seemingly endless array of obstacles standing in their way. This is certainly a refreshing concept compared to the mass of “I’ll be home for Christmas”-style films, and the theme makes it a perfect watch in this season.

Not all these examples are inherently Thanksgiving movies. With the limited publicity Thanksgiving can get, these movies suffice as a way to celebrate the holiday in a way that creates new Thanksgiving traditions.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 9 — Slow down. Notice physical limitations and adapt to flow around them. Rid yourself of a thorn. Reduce stress and simplify.

Prioritize health and work.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7 — Enjoy the game without taking romantic risks. Drama and chaos lurk.

LEFT IU sophomore Ella Jasnieski performs the clarinet in formation as part of the IU Marching Hundred during rehearsals Oct. 12, 2021, in the Green Parking Lot outside of the IU Tennis Center. Ella attended IU’s Summer Music Clinic during the summer before her junior year of high school.

RIGHT IU junior Corbin Dubois hands out sheet music at an All Campus Jazz Band rehearsal on Sept. 26, 2021, at the Music Annex Building. The All Campus Band is a band open to students including those who are not in the Jacobs School of Music.

By Phyllis Cha cha1@iu.edu | @phyllischa

For Ella Jasnieski, the clarinet feels like home. She loves the way it fits in her hands, the feeling of the keys and holes under her fingers. She loves its versatility, its freedom.

Ella spent two years learning how to play one piece: “Time Pieces” by Robert Muczynski. It’s a complex composition, constantly changing time signatures. The start of the piece is so slow and low that when the song starts, Ella almost feels like she is falling asleep. Then the piece accelerates and jumps, jolting her awake.

By the time she felt like she knew the piece inside and out, Ella knew she wanted to attend Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. Her high school band instructor had gone to Jacobs, and she wanted to be like him. Her senior year of high school, she applied.

She sent in her application, but on the day of the audition, she chickened out and didn’t go.

For the past four years, she had been preparing to audition for Jacobs. But she was so afraid of the rejection that she figured it would be easier to reject herself.

IU sophomore Ella Jasnieski plays her clarinet during rehearsals for the IU Marching Hundred on Oct. 12, 2021, in the Green Parking Lot outside of the IU Tennis Center. The white barrel around her clarinet is a sign that Ella won the Marching Hundred’s Vito Award for best spirit or attitude that week.

A year later, Ella’s freshman year at IU, she applied again. By then, the pandemic forced Ella’s audition online, so she submitted a video audition. In the weeks before her video was due, she holed herself up in her basement and played the clarinet for countless hours.

She recorded her performance of “Time Pieces” repeatedly, playing back the recording and finding herself unsatisfied. She picked apart small things, like the way she breathed in one video or the way her finger slipped in another. It always felt like she could do better.

So she recorded up until the day before the audition was due, when she submitted her clips.

A month and a half later, Ella checked her inbox and saw the email from the admissions office. “Oh my God,” she thought. “Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.” To her, it seemed her whole life would be decided in this one email. It would tell her if all her hours of practice had been a waste of time, or if it had all been worth it.

As she read the email, Ella began to shake. Suddenly her body felt hot.

An overwhelming feeling of failure swept over her. A feeling that she wasn’t good enough. * * * By the time he was a freshman in high school, Corbin Dubois knew he wanted to play the saxophone professionally.

He loves the way the saxophone sits comfortably in his hands, how the sound it makes is unlike any other. He loves the loudness and the bright tone it has and how he can always pick out the sound

of a saxophone in a band.

When Corbin auditioned in-person in the winter of 2020, there were three other saxophonists in the room.

They played polished scales, and the sound they emitted was full and unshaken. As someone who has played the saxophone for almost a decade, Corbin could tell from their sound that the others were good, that they were confident.

Ella and Corbin were both rejected from the Jacobs School of Music. While both say the rejection was hard, they found a way to still play music.

Corbin felt hot and sweaty.

His fingers shook, and his heart raced.

As he left the room, he was already steeling himself for rejection. He pounded it into his head that he wouldn’t get in. He thought it would help lessen the blow.

But when he opened the email and read the words he feared, his stomach still dropped.

He pushed the feeling away. If he didn’t think about it, maybe it wouldn’t hurt too much. Maybe he wouldn’t fall apart. * * * The Jacobs School of Music is a crucible, a place of skyhigh ambition and pulverizing pressure. For decades, it has been known as one of the best music schools in the world. Earlier this year, the QS World University Rankings confirmed that reputation by ranking Jacobs among the top 20 music schools in the world and one of the top five in the country, along with The Juilliard School, New York University, the University of Rochester and Harvard University.

Some of the young musicians admitted into Jacobs go on to sing on Broadway, win Grammy awards or perform in some of the country’s best orchestras.

But many talented musicians don’t make it in. Admission rates vary greatly based on the major, but about 70% to 75% of Jacobs applicants don’t get in, Jacobs Director of Admissions Espen Jensen said. Of an average applicant pool of 2,000, 1,400 to 1,500 students are rejected.

Inevitably, some promising students don’t make the cut.

When students audition for Jacobs in a performance major, they start by submitting a recording and an application for a prescreening process. Then, they audition with a faculty member who makes a recommendation to an eight-person admissions committee, which makes a final decision.

Students applying to the music education program, like Ella did, must complete an audition and an interview with the music education faculty.

IU Sophomore Ella Jasnieski performs as part of the Marching Hundred during rehearsals on Oct. 12, 2021, in the Green Parking Lot outside of the IU Tennis Center. Ella has played clarinet since she was nine years old.

Any student in the performing arts is going to face disappointment, Jensen said.

“It’s not going to be an open door at all times. There’s not going to be success at every step of the way,” Jensen said. “That’s just part of how

it is.”

Jensen said it’s important for students to recognize rejection is all a part of moving forward, even if it doesn’t match exactly with a student’s plan.

Joey Tartell, Jacobs’ director of undergraduate studies and a professor of trumpet, said Jacobs faculty are looking for students who are technically proficient on their instrument and who want to grow as musicians.

But they’re also looking for students who fit well in the school, a more subjective quality.

“Not getting in here doesn’t say anything about them as a person or as their future prospects,” Tartell said. “It just means that at the time, what we saw and when we saw them, we didn’t think they were a good fit.”

— Joey Tartell, Jacobs director of undergraduate studies

Tartell said he had one student who auditioned three times before she was admitted as a music education major. She now teaches at a high school in Texas.

Like any musician, Tartell has faced rejection in his career. When he was a student applying to music schools, he got rejected from one of his top picks. Rejection is not just a part of a music career, he said, but of any career in any field. He believes it should be used as a learning opportunity — a chance to grow and improve.

Still, the blow hits hard. * * * Ella Jasnieski’s love for music has been nearly lifelong. The first time Ella played an instrument was when she was three, in the basement of her first house. Katie Jasnieski, her mom, remembers hearing Ella tinkering with the piano that came with the house.

Katie remembers thinking, “Oh, okay, there’s something here.”

By the age of seven, Ella was taking piano lessons.

At nine, Ella wanted to try a new instrument. When her arms were too short for the trombone, she settled for the clarinet.

Her freshman year of high school, she decided she wanted to take playing music more seriously.

It was because of a piece they had played in band class: “October” by Eric Whitacre.

To Ella, the song sounded ethereal, like the instruments were singing. The song’s beautiful mix of harmonies and melodies made her envision a fall scene.

“You can see it in your head listening to it,” she said.

“You can feel the wind and see the trees and it’s so beautiful. So beautiful.”

The summer before her junior year of high school, she attended IU’s Summer Music Clinic. She liked the feeling of being around people who took music as seriously as she did. She liked how passionate other musicians were. She wanted to go to music school.

Senior year, Ella bounced between band classes for three hours a day. She played

After the audition: Many young musicians practice for countless hours to audition for the Jacobs School of Music. But what happens to the students who get rejected? in two concert bands, pep band, marching band, jazz band, the show choir backup band and the orchestra pit for musicals. She also competed in solo competitions and played in small ensembles on the side.

“If there was an opportunity to play, I did it,” she said.

Most days, after hours of playing at school, she would go home and practice for another two or three hours.

When she was practicing the most, Ella was playing the clarinet for about six to seven hours per day.

Music wasn’t just about performances. It was also about making friends.

When Ella was younger, she was shy — so shy that when her grandfather would come over and ask for a mini concert, she would make him listen from another room.

IU sophomore Ella Jasnieski laughs while talking with a fellow member of the Marching Hundred during rehearsals Oct. 12, 2021, in the Green Parking Lot outside of the IU Tennis Center. Ella was rejected by the Jacobs School of Music twice but now says she sees playing music not as something she has to do, but rather as something she wants to do.

IU sophomore Ella Jasnieski performs the clarinet in formation as part of the IU Marching Hundred during rehearsals Oct. 12, 2021, in the Green Parking Lot outside of the IU Tennis Center. Ella attended IU’s Summer Music Clinic during the summer before her junior year of high school.

In high school, music helped her come out of her shell. The friends she made through band were her people. She became more outgoing and confident.

“Music has always been kind of her escape,” her mother said.

Ella’s hours of practice both in and out of school paid off. All four years of high school, she won gold medals for her solo and ensemble competitions through the Indiana State School Music Association. As a high school senior, Ella played clarinet in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade as about 3 million people watched on the streets of New York City and 50 million more watched on TV. Her first music school applications were due during her senior year of high school.

Ella applied and got into IU South Bend’s music program.

But where she really wanted to go was the Jacobs School of Music. She wanted to study music education and make kids appreciate music the way she had come to.

At the beginning of 2021, Ella decided to audition for Jacobs again. During IU’s winter intersession, Ella went home and practiced.

Weeks later, Ella sat on the floor of her dorm room, talking to a friend and a roommate when she got the email.

She opened it and the room went quiet.

“I was completely overwhelmed with sadness, because I had worked my entire life towards going to music school and knowing that I probably would never get to was completely crushing,” she said. “It was very heartbreaking.”

The first thing she did was call her mom.

Katie listened as Ella questioned her decision to apply and follow through with the

audition, the amount of time she’d committed to preparing for the audition, her playing abilities.

As a parent, it was hard for Katie to hear her child sound so devastated. She knew getting into Jacobs was the one thing Ella had really wanted.

She tried to offer comfort and advice.

At the time, nothing could have made her feel better, Ella said.

Ella had always believed that hard work pays off, her mom said. The rejection shook that belief — did the countless hours of practicing amount to nothing more than wasted time?

But even now, when she thinks about it, she wonders if it’s the opposite problem: if there were days she should’ve practiced more, if she shouldn’t have taken days off.

“I still tell myself that,” she said. “I know it’s not true, but I still tell myself that.”

At first after her rejection from Jacobs, Ella didn’t play much. It was difficult for her to even pick up the clarinet.

For so many years, she had been working toward a goal, whether it was winning a solo competition or getting into Jacobs. Now, she wasn’t doing much of anything. She shut down.

Playing the clarinet reminded her of rejection.

When she did play, she would be more nitpicky. Every mistake she made was evidence of why she hadn’t gotten into Jacobs.

It hurt, hating the instrument she loved. * * * The first instrument Corbin played was a recorder in third grade. His school had a program called recorder karate. When students played a certain song, they would get a new belt — a piece of ribbon — added to their recorders.

Corbin made it all the way to the black belt.

In sixth grade, he started playing the saxophone. Before long he was using the sax to explore jazz.

He loves the spontaneity of jazz, how much it flows outside of the rigidity of classical music and how expressive it is. Within jazz, he loves improvisation.

When he improvises alone, he enters his own world. He closes his eyes, sways his head side to side, his left foot taps against the floor on beat, his fingers dance across the keys of his black saxophone as his body moves with the melody.

IU junior Corbin Dubois sits during an interview Sept.

10, 2021, outside of the Jacobs School of Music. Corbin was rejected in his attempt to gain admission into Jacobs.

When he’s improvising with others, he says it’s like having “a whole conversation” with them, but with instruments, not words. He loves bouncing his sound off of the drums or the piano. He loves listening to other people and figuring out how to make the two instruments fit together.

In his sophomore year of high school, Corbin started taking private lessons. The drive was almost an hour and a half round trip once a week.

When Corbin was practicing the most, he played for five and a half hours a day.

Most days, he played the saxophone in class and in jazz or pep or marching band after

school. At home, he would practice classical pieces for a few more hours.

Playing sometimes took a toll, mentally and physically.

Senior year of high school, Corbin had to take a break from playing the saxophone because it caused shooting pains in his left wrist.

The first time Corbin auditioned for Jacobs as a high school senior, he applied to audio engineering. Jacobs rejected him.

He decided to attend IU anyway, knowing he would audition for Jacobs’ saxophone program his freshman year.

The day of the audition, Corbin put on a suit and went to the music school. He auditioned for Otis Murphy, an IU saxophone professor as well as a renowned international saxophonist, according to IU’s website. Corbin had heard Murphy’s name before. To say the least, he was nervous.

Corbin played scales, etudes and a piece of his choosing: “Concertino da camera” by Jacques Ibert.

Almost a decade of playing, countless hours of practice and the whole thing was done in 15 minutes.

When Corbin got his rejection email, the first thought that came into his mind was that he should’ve practiced more.

This is my fault, he thought.

He called his mom and texted his high school friend and fellow saxophonist Aaron Sandel to tell them he didn’t get in. Aaron didn’t pry, but said he could tell Corbin was upset.

Aaron has known Corbin since the eighth grade when they were in band class together. While Corbin didn’t show it much, Aaron said he could tell getting rejected from Jacobs was hard for Corbin. Aaron had seen Corbin’s dedication to the saxophone and to music.

“Music was his thing,” Aaron said. “He was the music guy.”

But after Corbin got his rejection from Jacobs, he didn’t play much. It was hard to look at his saxophone without feeling disappointment.

IU junior Corbin Dubois hands out sheet music at an All Campus Jazz Band rehearsal on Sept. 26, 2021, at the Music Annex Building.

The All Campus Band is a band open to students including those who are not in the Jacobs School of Music.

IU juniors Corbin Dubois and Josh Sharp talk while walking to Read Quad, Oct. 14, 2021. Corbin and Josh work as residential assistants at Read Quad.

Because he had played the instrument almost everyday for years, not playing felt strange.

After a month, Corbin realized he missed the saxophone, the comfortable feeling of the instrument in his hands. So he picked it up.

His muscles remembered the movements of playing. He knew he was never going to play professionally, but that meant he could play for fun.

The pressure he felt in high school, the pressure of always having to perform at his best, was gone.

Now Corbin plays in the All Campus Jazz Band. The band meets in the Music Annex building Sunday nights.

FIELD HOCKEY

Nick Sheridan learns to Season ends with 3-1 balance quarterbacks loss against Rutgers

By Tyler Vaundry tvaundry@iu.edu | @ty23_vaundry

By Luke Christopher Norton lcnorton@iu.edu | @ByLCNorton

Heading into the season, no one at Indiana football’s team facilities ever imagined a scenario where sophomore quarterback Grant Gremel would see snaps in a game, head coach Tom Allen said following the team’s loss to Ohio State on Oct. 23.

The same can be said for freshman Donaven McCulley and, to a lesser degree, junior Jack Tuttle.

With McCulley, the team had intended on preserving his redshirt year. Tuttle had experience as a starter if junior Michael Penix Jr. missed any time.

But there they were, Gremel and McCulley, taking nationally-televised snaps against Ohio State after injuries to Tuttle and Penix took them out of play.

Offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan said the quarterbacks have different strengths, preferences and levels of experience. Now he’s had to prepare four for in-game snaps at practices.

The change caused by the quarterback switch extends beyond the player himself, Sheridan said in a press conference Monday. Each player, from wide receivers to the offensive line, has to adjust based on who’s taking snaps.

“You’re trying to run concepts and schemes that fit whoever’s behind the center,” Sheridan said. “While it benefits ‘quarterbacks,’ you’re also asking other players to maybe do things they haven’t done as much of.”

For example, McCulley is asked to run the ball more than Penix and Tuttle. McCulley has rushed the ball on 25.8% of his 89 snaps. Penix has only rushed on 6.6% of his snaps, while Tuttle has

rushed 1.6% of his.

An offensive line needs to have enough range to adjust based on the quarterback, Sheridan said, but uncertainty at quarterback can create continuity issues.

“The only way that you get good at anything is you do it over and over again,” Sheridan said.

Senior wide receiver Ty Fryfogle, who had 200 or more receiving yards in consecutive games last season, was targeted 51 times in five total games before Penix’s injury against Penn State. Since then, he’s only been targeted 25 times in four games.

Nine of those targets came against Maryland, McCulley’s first game as a starting quarterback. Fryfogle caught just one pass for a single yard on three targets against Michigan. Fryfogle has maintained a “phenomenal” attitude through the changes, Sheridan said.

The quarterbacks have

also been playing behind an offensive line that has shifted throughout the season due to injury and poor blocking. When Sheridan called more quarterback runs against Michigan with McCulley, who had 10 carries for 53 yards, the line had to adjust.

“There has been some juggling relative to schemes or types of plays or the manner in which we operate depending on who’s been back there,” Sheridan said. “The guys have been busting their tails and working hard.”

Sheridan said that while Indiana’s quarterback situation has been challenging for the offense, they won’t use it as an excuse.

“We’ve gotta do better and find ways to get more first downs and score points to help our team,” Sheridan said.

All statistics referenced in this piece were sourced from Pro Football Focus.

No. 7 Indiana field hockey entered halftime of its Big Ten Tournament match against No. 2 Rutgers tied 1-1, but Rutgers pulled away in the second half to defeat Indiana 3-1.

Thursday marked the second time the Hoosiers and the Scarlet Knights faced off in the 2021 season.

The two teams met back on Oct. 3, when the Scarlet Knights punched in a goal in double overtime to defeat the Hoosiers.

The Hoosiers got off to a quick start on offense Friday. The team earned a penalty corner within the first 90 seconds of the game and recorded three shots on goal in a span of 20 seconds, but all three were saved.

Even with the score knotted at zero, the sequence set the tone for the Hoosiers on the offensive end.

In the sixth minute of the game, senior midfielder Jes McGivern scored her first goal of the season off an assist from senior forward Hailey Couch, giving Indiana an early 1-0 lead.

Head coach Kayla Bashore credited the early offensive execution to the excitement of the Hoosiers heading into the game.

“They were excited to get out and play,” Bashore said.

“Having Rutgers again after a double overtime game, they were pumped.”

Early in the second period, Rutgers would even the score 1-1 off a penalty corner of its own. Only one more shot was recorded in the rest of the period.

Seven minutes into the third period, Rutgers’ sophomore forward Bridy Molyneaux took a backhand shot which was redirected into

the goal. Rutgers led 2-1, and took control of the game.

“They were pretty good on their counter attacks,” Bashore said. “Missing our center back was a little bit hurtful for us in terms of withstanding that pressure.”

The Scarlet Knights would hold the Hoosiers without any attempted shots in the third period.

Late in the fourth period, Indiana pulled their goalie in hopes of scoring a goal with another attacker.

Rutgers would add another goal in the 59th minute, to extend the lead and end Indiana’s season.

“They gained momentum after scoring that one goal and we didn’t really respond until the fourth, so that was something that changed the momentum of the game,” Bashore said.

With the loss, Indiana’s season came to a close.

Bashore said she believes

even though Indiana didn’t end the season as champions, it was important for the future of the program.

“For us, it’s a turning point in our program for the last couple of years,” Bashore said. “I think the girls can see that. The girls that weren’t a part of it, I think just making sure our history is known and understanding the people that were here to turn the corner is an important part of our story.”

Bashore said after the game the Hoosiers recognized the sacrifice their total four seniors made for the program.

“They came back last year and it was a really tough year for all of us at the program,” Bashore said.

“They were a part of that, continuing to lay down the foundation for the program.

I think for them that will always be remembered and appreciated.”

As breath travels from his lungs, up his throat and through his mouth, it enters the saxophone through the mouthpiece, travels through its neck and body and emits a sound out of the bell.

But it’s not just the sound of Corbin’s saxophone that fills the room. It’s the sound of all of the instruments. The two electric guitar players, the two trumpets, the trombone, the drums, the piano and the seven other saxophones.

His relationship with music is different, but Corbin is still playing, and he’s not playing alone.

* * * When Ella started playing the clarinet again it wasn’t entirely by choice. She had private lessons to attend and had to help teach marching band at her high school during summer break. But she found that not having the pressure of solo competitions or the Jacobs audition looming over her wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. When she played, she didn’t feel a rollercoaster of emotions. She didn’t get stressed out to the point of a near panic attack.

She played because she wanted to get better, for her own sake.

“I’m going back and talking to an old friend again,” she said. “I’m not playing because I have to, I’m playing because I want to.”

— Ella Jasnieski

Ella still plays the clarinet five days a week in IU’s marching band, the Marching Hundred. When practice

starts at the Green Lot behind Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, she is among the horde of students covering the sloped grass hill above the parking lot. Instrument cases and backpacks litter the field as students line up inside of orange cones for practice.

Ella chats with fellow clarinet players, but once practice starts, they fall quiet. Eyes fix on the conductor. Ella’s clarinet, whose nickname is Bertha, sits familiarly in her hands. Her fingers move up and down its keys and holes.

As her breath enters the instrument, her eyebrows fur-

row in concentration.

Her feet move across the pavement in careful steps, starting with her heel to her toes. The lot is a mass of constantly moving bodies.

Ella is just one moving part among hundreds of students and hundreds of instruments. She is just one among the blaring brass instruments and the steady beat of the percussion section. She is just one among the woodwind instruments, among the clarinet section. Amongst those hundreds of people, however, her sound is not lost.

It joins in.
