LETTER FROM THE EDITOR This is the Freshmen Edition, a greatest hits compilation, if you will, of everything that’s gone on here in the past year. It is also your introduction to us. We are IU Student Media, still kicking after 146 years. We are the Indiana Daily Student, one of the country’s premier college newspapers, but we are more than just that as well. We are idsnews. com, Inside Magazine, the Arbutus yearbook and a slew of special publications, all under the IU Student Media umbrella. Most importantly, we are students just like you. These publications are student-written, student-edited, student-designed, student-promoted and funded by ads sold by students. This is truly a by-students, for-students operation, a news outlet as much as a learning lab. We strive to be your news source during your time here and bring you the coverage you want and need. We will be there through the highs and the lows, the wins and the losses, the board meetings and the breaking news, the celebrations and the times of tragedy. We will be there through it all, and we hope you’ll be right there with us. You hold in your hands your first issue of the IDS. Here’s hoping it will not be the last.

IU men’s soccer players hold their trophy as they celebrate Dec. 9, 2012 after the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship Game. IU won 1-0. BY MICAH MCVICKER mmmcvick@indiana.edu
HOOVER, Ala. — Senior defender Caleb Konstanski ran to the IU contingent behind the Georgetown bench, stepped on the short cement barrier, grabbed a Hoosier Army flag and waved it with untold enthusiasm. He then hopped off and ran back to the edge of the 18-yard box on the right side for a leaping embrace with senior goalkeeper Luis Soffner. The celebration for title number eight had just begun. IU took the lead in the 64th minute of Nov. 20’s national championship game. For the fourth con-
secutive game, either sophomore midfielder Patrick Doody or junior defender Matt McKain played the ball into the box that netted the game-winning goal. Doody, five feet from the left touchline at the edge of the 18, extended and crossed the ball to the far post. Sophomore forward Eriq Zavaleta beat Georgetown goalkeeper Tomas Gomez to the ball four yards away from his left-side post and headed it back to the center of the goal, where junior midfielder Nikita Kotlov scored his fifth goal of the tournament. “Patrick played a good ball to the back post,” Zavaleta said. “The ball kind of drifted in the air for quite a

while. The keeper was pretty hesitant and kind of got in no-man’s land. I saw Nikita running into the box, and my goal was to get the ball down to be able to let him make a play.” Meanwhile, Soffner notched his 12th shutout this season, adding to his career-best mark. It was the Hoosiers’ third consecutive 1-0 victory. IU trailed for only 56 seconds all tournament. “We said from the very beginning that defense is going to win championships,” Soffner said. “When maybe we’re not having our best offensive game, our defense comes in, and every guy on the field comes together. Just that fight, just not letting the ball go into the net. We know that even-

The sound of drums mixed with the sound of chanting and chatter filled the air behind Woodburn Hall. About 250 students, faculty and staff carrying signs and banners painted with slogans like “No debt bondage” and “Double the 4, we want more” assembled near the red clock. Those walking by slowed down to watch, some snapping photos or asking others what was happening. On the sidewalk, some handed out flyers and pamphlets, asking
those walking by, “Would you like some information?” Right next to the clock tower, a small group of women on stationary bikes, raising money for Bike To Uganda, looked around at the sudden crowd, as if unsure what to do or whether to continue. “This is bullshit,” one said. A dozen yards away, several tour groups headed towards the crowd, parents and prospective students trailing behind their guides. The next stop on their tour was Woodburn.

An urn bearing the IU emblem rested on a table below the IU Auditorium stage. Between the American and Indiana flags was the police chief’s official department photo. On the podium above him, there was a can of Foster’s beer. At 4 p.m. on March 25, police officers filed in to the sound of a bagpipe. They were dressed in their formal uniforms, distinctive to their rank and department. Some wore black uniforms with flat caps, and others wore brown sheriff ’s attire or navy dress pants with short-sleeved shirts. They walked down the aisle and in front of the stage, filing into the rows, while the audience behind them stood, watching silently. The officers stopped behind their seats as the rest filed in. They stood with their backs to the stage. In the overhead lights, their different badges twinkled on their chests. Taped across their badges were strips of black cloth, matte against the gleaming gold or silver. All had entered and the bagpipe stopped, replaced by ringing silence. No one so much as coughed or moved. Then came the sound of whispered counting. A group of officers filed past. The first held an American flag, folded into a triangle. The second carried the urn, embossed with the red-and-white IU emblem. Four officers followed behind them, one keeping time. As they walked past, the hundreds of standing officers

She said whenever she came to visit, people would come up to Keith to say hello, and he would introduce her. “Keith would say, ‘This is my
More than a dozen LGBTQ couples marched down the aisles of the Buskirk-Chumley Theater Jan. 31 to the traditional tune of Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March.” The event coincided with the PRIDE LGBTQ Film Festival. A slideshow displaying photos, names and the number of years the couples had been committed to one another played on stage as the couples made their way down the aisles. As the couples gathered on stage, hand in hand with their partners, Bruno Mars’ “Marry You” blasted through the theater. Mayor Mark Kruzan, along with various members of the City Council, Monroe County Council and members of the clergy gathered on stage in support of the couples. Kruzan outlined three major points regarding his support for same-sex couples. “First, it’s about equality of opportunity,” Kruzan said. “We want to stand with you in celebrating the commitment of all couples, and third, history simply will not smile kindly on those who stand against equality.” Many others said they shared Kruzan’s sentiments. “I am honored to bear witness to this wedding ceremony and lend my voice to a rising chorus in Indiana and around the country in support of essential civil rights and in opposition to the proposed constitutional amendment to outlaw gay marriage,” Monroe County Councilor Rick Dietz said in a news release. “Mark has been an ally probably all his life from his days in the Statehouse, and I’m just delighted that he is willing to do this,” Doug Bauder, office coordinator for GLBT Student Support Services, said. Bauder said the number of county officials, city council members and clergy also backing the event showed great support, making a “wonderful statement.” “Marriage in this culture is a civil contract but often a religious

saluted. In the back row, one officer removed his hat and bowed his head. His face crumpled as he began to cry. This service was the final time they would salute IU Police Department Chief Keith Cash. Friends and family from around the world gathered Monday, March 25 to attend the Celebration of Life service for Keith, who died suddenly Wednesday, March 20. During the service, family and friends spoke. They told stories about the pranks that Keith pulled, many times laughing through tears. One speaker brought a beer for Keith — a Foster’s — which he opened and left on the podium. The audience applauded the gesture. Mike Diekhoff, Bloomington chief of police and Keith’s longtime friend, was one of the speakers. He had a request for the audience. “I ask that you remember Keith not only as an exceptional person,” he said. “But that you also remember his laugh.” * * *

President Michael A. McRobbie speaks during the dedication Big Red II at the Cyberinfrastructure Building April 26. Big Red II is the world’s fastest university-owned supercomputer.
New supercomputer to aid IU researchers BY SARAH WHALEY sewhaley@indiana.edu
IU President Michael McRobbie called the dedication of IU’s new supercomputer a “truly historic occasion.� The supercomputer, Big Red II, operates at a speed of one petaFLOPS, about five thousand times faster than a standard PC. This means that the computer can compute one thousand trillion floating point operations per second, a task that would take one person more than 31 million years to complete. The computer was dedicated at 2 p.m. April 26 in the Cyberinfrastructure Building. Big Red II will change the way IU does computational research, said Craig Stewart, executive director of IU Pervasive Technology Institute and associate dean of research technologies. He said Big Red II will not only expand the capabilities of researchers who are already using supercomputers, but it will also provide opportunities to researchers who before could not easily access supercomputers. “We are already leaders within the United States,� Stewart said. “More than 10 percent of the research community at IU Bloomington
and IUPUI uses the supercomputers. Our goal is to increase that usage.� Senior manager of high performance systems at IU, David Hancock, said Big Red II will be “an immense competitive advantage for the University.� “In terms of comparable systems at other universities, it’s the fastest University-owned computer that’s dedicated to one institution,� Hancock said. Big Red II will be accessible to all researchers, faculty and graduate students at IU if they ask for an account, but it will also be available to undergraduates with support from a faculty member. Freshman Will Doub is studying informatics and said he is looking forward to the opportunity to see the supercomputer firsthand. “I haven’t heard a whole lot about Big Red II, but I’m still really excited about it,� Doub said. “I’m excited to see what programs people are going to design for it and its software capabilities.� The supercomputer is housed in IU’s secure Data Center. Hancock says the supercomputer is “roughly the size of 12 industrial refrigerators, side by side.� Big Red II cost IU $7.5 million, but is expected to pay its
own cost due to the research it will facilitate, based on the amount generated by IU’s original supercomputer. “Big Red brought more than $250 million to the University through the collective accounts from 2006 to present,� Stewart said. Big Red II is expected to accommodate advancements in the sciences and computation, but also the arts and humanities. According to Stewart, the supercomputer will be useful in life sciences, environmental studies, text analysis in the humanities, film, animation and lighting design to name a few. “We will, with Big Red II, be able to provide tangible benefits to students and researchers in at least 150 disciplines at IU,� Stewart said. To this end, current computation staff at IU will be working hard to make sure Big Red II is used responsibly and productively. “In a very real sense we dedicated Big Red II,� Stewart said. “But the staff of the computation center also dedicated themselves to supporting Big Red II to ensure that it changes the research and artistic capabilities of the University, the state, the nation and the world’s global community.�
In an effort by the IU Panhellenic Association to increase the number of sororities on campus, Alpha Sigma Alpha has returned to IU. ASA is the second sorority to return to IU in recent years following the reinstatement of Theta Phi Alpha in fall 2011. Bringing these sororities back is part of an extension plan by PHA. The sororities were both chosen through a mutual selection process with PHA, Suzanne Haynes, leadership consultant for the ASA national organization, said. “They realized they needed more organizations,� Haynes said. “Theta Phi Alpha and we were chosen through mutual selection. Theta Phi Alpha was a great little guinea pig, and now we’re here looking to help more women get into greek life.�
ASA was active at IU about 20 years ago and has an active alumni base in Bloomington and Indianapolis, said senior Kendra Allenspach, former PHA president. Increasing the number of women in the greek system is a goal of both ASA and PHA, Haynes said. “The PHA here has recognized that through statistics, a lot of women weren’t getting placed,� Haynes said. “And the goal is to have as many women placed in greek life as possible and, for them, that meant offering something different and that is a non-residential sorority.� Haynes was in Bloomington during fall semester and most of spring semester to organize the colony before it became the Epsilon Phi chapter. “We will be a part of recruitment in January, which is an exciting thing,� Haynes said. “We don’t have plans for a house, and that would
be down the road. This is great for people who can’t afford housing but are great doers on campus.� About 120 women came to callout meetings during the first week of classes for information about ASA and philanthropy in Bloomington, Haynes said. “As a greek organization, we are very focused on philanthropy,� Haynes said. “The meetings were about why we’re here and why we’re excited to be here. “We’re looking for women who are leaders, scholars and who meet our expectations.� While there are 26 sororities in the National Panhellenic Conference, ASA is now No. 21 for IU, Allenspach said. “We are so excited Alpha Sigma Alpha is here,� Allenspach said. “There are so many women interested so seeing those great numbers gives us hope that this will be a successful chapter.�

Lugar, Hamilton to teach in global studies school BY MATT STEFANSKI mstefans@indiana.edu
Two longtime members of Congress are set to join the IU School of Global and International Studies faculty. IU President Michael McRobbie confirmed Jan. 24 that former U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar and former U.S. Rep. Lee Hamilton will join the faculty of the School of Global and International Studies. The announcements were made at the Lilly Library with Lugar and Hamilton in attendance. University officials including Provost and Executive Vice President Lauren Robel, College of Arts and Sciences Dean Larry Singell and Trustee Mary Ellen Bishop were also in attendance. Lugar and Hamilton will join the School of Global and International Studies as distinguished scholars and professors of practice. They will also co-chair the new IU International Advisory Committee. According to a press release, Lugar and Hamilton will advise the University concerning its international engagement strategies and the development of the School of Global and International Studies. Hamilton said the school, which was approved by the Board of Trustees last fall, is a striking achievement for the leaders of IU. “It places IU on the forefront of international education,” Hamilton said. McRobbie said both Hamilton and Lugar will serve as major assets to the University. “I think it’s hard to see that any other school in the area would have on its faculty two better qualified people with more experience in the last 50 years of politics in this country, outside of certain cabinet members,” McRobbie said. Lugar, who served six terms as an Indiana Senator — his last ending Jan. 3 — announced the donation of his senatorial papers to IU’s Modern Political Papers col-

lection at the Herman B Wells Library. Hamilton, the current director of the Center on Congress at IU, former U.S. Sen. Birch Bayh, and Gov. Mike Pence are among politicians whose papers are housed in the collection. McRobbie said IU made the case to Lugar that they already had one of the finest collections of modern political papers in the U.S. “I think he felt that having his papers join the papers of those people, most of whom he knew or knows and the resources we were able to bring to properly manage and curate his papers just made this the obvious place for him to go,” McRobbie said. Lugar said there were many alternatives for the deposit of his archives. “The archives professionals here at Indiana University are truly impressive,” he said. “They have a program which gave me assurance if we shifted over 1,000 boxes of all these archives, all sorts of trophies, medals, memorabilia and so forth.” McRobbie said it was a historic day for Lugar, who served
on the senate for 36 years, to join the IU faculty and offer his papers. “He served on some of the most important committees during that period,” McRobbie said. “The committees of the places that really do the work and develop the legislation has had such a profound impact on the nations and the world.” In 1967, Lugar, then 35, was elected as the mayor of Indianapolis. He ran for the Senate in 1974 and was defeated by incumbent Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind. In 1976, he was elected senator after defeating the other incumbent, Vance Hartke, D-Ind. During his time in the senate, Lugar was the chair of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and two-time chair of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. He developed a bipartisan reputation in the Senate, and riled conservatives when he voted for Obama’s Supreme Court appointees Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kaganin in 2009 SEE FACULTY, PAGE A4

HPER transitions to School of Public Health BY ALLISON BERRY alcberry@indiana.edu
The School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation was officially renamed the School of Public Health during a ceremony Sept. 28, 2012. Charles Rondot, the school’s director of marketing and communications, said it would be two years before the school is accredited. The school is currently recognized as an associate member of the Association for Schools of Public Health, he said, but it needs to be accredited as a full member to receive grants from the federal government and other sources. Full accreditation will also allow the school to “fully engage in research,” he said. “Our application for accreditation has been accepted, as has the school at IUPUI, and after a twoyear self-study, will be reviewed,” he said. “We will be moved from associate membership in the Association for Schools of Public Health to full membership,

pending their approval of that application.” In addition to the new name and accreditation, the school has added two departments: environmental health and epidemiology, and biostatistics. These departments were added as part of a broad-
ened focus for the school that includes disease prevention, premature death, promoting health and quality of life, School of Public Health interim dean Mohammad Torabi said. Torabi said making the switch from a school of physical education to an
accredited school of public health will give graduates of the school a competitive edge in the job market. There are few schools with a narrow focus on physical education and recreation anymore, he said. “The school of public health with a broad mission
is an established school all over the world, so people have a better chance for placements, for grants, for contracts, for research,” Torabi said. “The job market is phenomenal in public health.” The new school is the first of its kind in Indiana, with the Bloomington location providing a focus on rural community health. IU Provost Lauren Robel said the addition of both schools will serve the state by producing more public health professionals and by providing students with new funding and resources. School of Public Health doctoral student Margo Mullinax said the school’s new name facilitates life after graduation by providing a universal title that is becoming increasingly well-known. “The school of public health is something that’s becoming more widely understood as an important topic in our discussions about life and behavior and health, and so I think it’s just something that people readily understand and recognize,” Mullinax said.
Journalism merger plans continue “It’s less to memorialize Ernie Pyle than to make his legacy assessable and visible for students in the future.” Lauren Robel, IU Provost
BY MATTHEW GLOWICKI mglowick@indiana.edu
An August proposal to the Board of Trustees concerning the merger of communication units at IU is almost certain now that the Memorandum of Understanding between the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Journalism is nearly complete. The MOU is a five-page document originally drafted by School of Journalism faculty and staff that outlines aspects of the school that faculty and staff would like to see preserved in the merger process. Then-interim School of Journalism Dean Michael Evans said only slight tweaks were made to the MOU as it passed between leaders of the College and the School of Journalism in recent weeks. The process ended Friday April 26 when it was given to Provost Lauren Robel for editing. “I don’t think there will be any issues because the only things that I’ve done have been for the sake of clarifying provisions,” Robel said Sunday April 28. “There’s nothing substantive in what I did.”
Once final edits are made, Robel plans to make the MOU public, likely sometime early next week. Robel said the MOU was the main component needed before she would make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees at the August 8-9 meeting at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis. However, she does expect faculty to start working on a new document in the summer focusing on academic programming. The proposal will lay out the “substance” of the new school and include proposals for curriculum, degrees and other academic programs. Robel said she would like that proposal by mid-fall in order to share with faculty and students. While the MOU will act as an official document of understanding between the College and the J-School, its provisions are not 100 percent guaranteed to be adopted when all is implemented. “There’s no ensuring anything, but it’s taken very seriously,” Evans said. He added the document is a way to get all involved parties on the same page before any merging happens,
though he said he doesn’t foresee there being any issues in the future. Meanwhile in Ernie Pyle Hall, the leadership transition in the School of Journalism continues following Evans’ recent announcement of his plans to leave the school. Evans said he has left the MOU editing to Lesa Hatley Major, journalism senior associate dean, and Bonnie Brownlee, journalism associate dean, as they will still be at IU in the fall. Robel said she needed to speak with President Michael McRobbie and the Board of Trustees this week before making her interim dean announcement. She eventually named Hatley Major as the interim dean May 10. If approved by the trustees, the new school will be housed next to the Sample Gates, in Franklin Hall. Tom Morrison, vice president of capital planning and facilities, said he expects construction to begin at Franklin within a year, assuming Gov. Mike Pence signs the budget into law and the Board of Trustees and state agencies approve the renovation project for Franklin Hall. “Fortunately, the Indiana
General Assembly as part of its budget bill passed (Friday) night authorized $21 million in funds for renovation of the remainder of the building,” Morrison said in an email. Renovations have already been made to the building, including those in Presidents Hall. A new project to build a ramp and elevator in the front of the building is currently underway. Before further renovations can be made, however, Morrison and Robel said space plans need to be developed by faculty and students from all affected units. “In a best case scenario, planning will occur during the 2013-14 year and construction during the 2014-15 year with completion approximately two years from now,” he said. Robel said she is currently assembling a committee that will develop ways to honor Ernie Pyle, the current School of Journalism building’s namesake. “It’s less to memorialize Ernie Pyle than to make his legacy assessable and visible for students in the future,” Robel said.
» FACULTY CONTINUED FROM PAGE A3 and 2010, respectively. He was attacked by advertisements from challenger Richard Mourdock, former Indiana Treasurer, in the May 2012 primary campaign for this reputation. Lugar was defeated May 8, 2012, in the primary by Mourdock, who then lost to Democratic candidate Rep. Joe Donnelly, D-2nd District. As of 2009, Lugar had a 98 percent attendance rate in the Senate. He is currently tied with three other senators for the position of 17th longest serving senator in U.S. History. McRobbie said Lugar’s papers are a complete record of his time in the senate. “This is just a remarkable resource for scholars and researchers, for students interested in the political history of the state, for the United States, over the last almost half-century,” he said. “That will soon be available to the whole scholarly community of the University.” Lugar said he would like to inspire a number of students to work in U.S. security policy. “This is remarkable opportunity for students to engage in a large number of cultures and different languages to understand that threats to America are less likely to be invasions by troops,” he said. Lugar also said people need to understand the geography of the world and its changing boundaries, especially the dynamics in Asia and the Middle East. “These are things I hope that I can help pick up, through at least my own lectures or talks, but also responses with students,” Lugar said. “We’ve had great opportunities with all of the hundreds of interns who have been in our senate office who assured, day by day, my experiences, my challenges and I come out from that with a very different view of public service and the world.” McRobbie said both Hamilton and Lugar played pivotal roles in the development of U.S. foreign policy. “We have people...in the deepest resources of the engine room of foreign policy development in the United States now on our faculty, now in a position where they can be put forth to the students, work with the students, work with faculty and so on for the foreseeable future,” McRobbie said.

IUSA presidential candidate Jose Mitjavila sits with YOUniversity running mates Chris Kauffman, Casey Baker and Scott Borer March 21 at the IUSA Debate in the Fine Arts Building.

YOUniversity tops IUSA election in landslide win BY TORI FATER vrfater@indiana.edu
PROUD TRADITIONS
YOUniversity was the unofficial winner of the IU Student Association election following the end of voting at 10 p.m. Wednesday, April 3. The unofficial vote tally, confirmed by Election Commissioner Melody Mostow, showed that YOUniversity won by a landslide of 4,200 votes. Hoosiers 4 Solutions came in second with 1,721 votes and SPARC for IU finished third with 513 votes. “It is indescribably great to see all our work pay off,” said Jose Mitjavila, YOUniversity’s presidential candidate. “After all this hard work and sacrifice ... Nothing has felt better than this.” He said he wanted to thank everyone who volunteered with YOUniversity and voted for him and his running mates. “In the past two days we spoke with such passion and conviction,” Mitjavila said. “Anyone who voted for YOUniversity understands
... in this following year we’re going to do our best.” Sidney Fletcher, SPARC for IU’s presidential candidate, said he congratulated YOUniversity on the win. “We thought they ran a great campaign, there’s no denying that,” Fletcher said. “They ran a highly effective campaign.” Casey Shelburne, Hoosiers 4 Solutions presidential candidate, said he enjoyed the campaign experience and “wouldn’t have traded it for anything.” “The turnout from our volunteers today was a great team effort ... I couldn’t be prouder of our group,” he said. “We were able to bring the issues students care about to the forefront. I really enjoyed meeting with all different students and talking about policies.” He also said Hoosiers 4 Solutions conducted investigations and considered filing a complaint with the Election Commision about other tickets’ campaign practices. However, no complaints were filed.
“We want to make sure that we have all our facts straight before we make any accusations,” Shelburne said. “The numbers that I saw do not seem to reflect the amount of work our people put in and what we saw on the ground today.” The 2011 election featured the same number of opposing tickets, but 2,500 more voters than this year’s election. Ty Nocita, SPARC’s chief of staff, said he was impressed by students’ interest in the issues despite the somewhat low voter turnout. “You can still do well if you have good ideas,” Nicota said. “We came into this campaign kind of expecting to be broken down by lack of interest in the student body ... but there’s interest out there. Even though we didn’t win, we’re glad students got out there and voted.” The IUSA Supreme Court certified the election results on April 4, transitioning YOUniversity into IUSA administration Friday, April 5.

Gibbs, Rove debate in Auditorium visit BY CLAIRE WISEMAN clwisema@indiana.edu
Robert Gibbs waited Oct. 18, 2012 outside the Indiana Memorial Union’s East Lounge. Earlier that afternoon, he and Karl Rove watched the Indiana men’s basketball team at practice. “Two 7-footers is impressive,� said Gibbs, senior campaign adviser for President Barack Obama. Shelli Yoder passed Gibbs as he lingered outside the elevators. The then-Democrat candidate for the U.S. House introduced herself, said she was on her way to another meeting and asked for a picture. As she handed her cell phone to a Union Board director, Rove emerged from the elevator behind her. While she and Gibbs grinned, Rove shook hands with a couple in the back of their shot. They’ve done this type of speaking engagement before. The Gibbs-and-Rove show draws a crowd. Gibbs said their expertise makes them a natural choice. “I think for a lot of these places it’s convenient to get two people who are playing roles in this place with onestop shopping,� Gibbs said. “So here we are.� As they prepared to leave for a reception in the University Club, Rove realized he’d forgotten something upstairs in his hotel room. They had to go. They were already late. They started to walk away without Rove. Gibbs gestured back to the elevator. “Should we wait for him?� Gibbs asked. *** Onstage at the IU Auditorium, Rove and Gibbs de-
bated campaign and policy with Union Board directors Eric Farr and Hillary Anderson. Union Board helped organize the event. The event was a feature of the College of Arts and Sciences’ 2012 Themester, “Good Behavior, Bad Behavior: Molecules to Morality.� Rove, a former deputy chief of staff and senior adviser to former President George W. Bush, FOX News contributor and Republican. Gibbs, a senior campaign adviser to Obama, former press secretary and Democrat. The topics were varied from the auto industry to campaign contributions, negative advertising and the state of Indiana politics. Both said Indiana would go red in 19 days. The questions were tough, more than once drawing cheers from the crowd. They offered frank and often opposing analysis, and rarely provided the point-counterpoint style debate seen in Tuesday’s presidential affair. But they did, on occasion, toss out good-natured barbs. About the topic of political advertisements and campaign finance, Rove said the First Amendment was at the heart of the American experience. He mentioned the editorial page of the New York Times as something that could be constrained by the elimination of that right. “Man, you really got this New York Times stuck in your craw,� Gibbs said. “Hey, you know what--“ Rove retorted. “I just picked up on that.� Gibbs said. “I read them this morning,� Rove said. “And I can’t tell you what it was but it just chapped my ass.�
*** In the University Club earlier that evening, the long-time advisers were more like celebrities. They entered the room separately. Small groups of students surrounded them as they gripped and grinned and gave reports of their fandom or requested campaign insight. At one point, Rove stood in a circle of IU College Republicans, his extended hand holding an iPhone that played a voicemail from Bush. “I was like quivering for a second,� College Republicans External Vice Chairman Daniel Cheesman said. “I was like, is this really real life?� He answered questions from College Democrats while posing for pictures. “You can show this to some of your Democratic friends and tell them you were with Satan tonight,� he said. Gibbs said he would wait until they were finished to indulge. Rove dunked a celery stick directly into a large bowl of dip. When it was time to leave, the directors stayed between them until Rove grabbed an abandoned bicycle helmet from one of the chairs in the corner of the room. He held it out, an offering. “Gibbs, we’re gonna ride over in an SUV, so I got you a special thing,� Rove said. Gibbs laughed. He was talking about a recent runin with a car, he explained. They joked and laughed and looked confused by the building’s layout. They looked up as they passed out of the building, walking one after another into the falling October light.
Âť STRIKE CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 a line, one tour group began to weave through the crowd. The tour guide gently nudged some in the crowd out of the way, in an attempt to clear a path to the entrance to the building. Instead of moving away, a man in the crowd came toward them. He handed flyers to the parents and said “Welcome to $30,000 of debt.â€? On April 11, the IU on Strike movement reached its climax with a campus-wide demonstration protesting tuition rates, lack of diversity on campus and wage freezes, among other issues. “The University has sort of turned into an institution based on producing workers and making profits, excluding certain people and exploiting the workers,â€? said IU student Stephanie McGee, a participant in the strike. “I see the strike as a chance for rejecting the social rules we’ve been given by the University.â€? At night, protesters occupied Woodburn Hall. Police asked protesters to leave by 11 p.m., and at about 10:45 p.m. they arrived to remove protesters and close the building. Officers said they would arrest those who did not leave. After the officers closed the doors, one person allegedly shattered a window pane on the south entrance door. IU Police Department Sgt. Shannon Ramey said one person was arrested for shattering the glass. Ian Woodke, an IU student at the Woodburn occupation, said no one shattered the window deliberately. Rather, he said, it broke in the chaos of people leaving the building. Protester Mike Smith traveled from Indianapolis to participate in the strike. He said he wanted to stand in solidarity with the students resisting the increasing cost of higher education. “It’s important because education is something people aren’t getting fair access to,â€? he said. “A lot of students all over the country and the world can’t even get jobs in their field.â€? The protesters launched their march from the clock

tower behind Woodlawn. They marched past the Indiana Memorial Union and Chemistry Building, through the Old Crescent and through Ballantine Hall. “No cutbacks! No fees! Just fire the trustees!� they chanted. The march ended at Franklin Hall as some entered in an attempt to disrupt the Board of Trustees meeting. There, police tried to keep the protesters back, but the protesters continued to chant and eventually bang on the doors in an effort to get inside. Although the trustees meeting was open to the public, there was not enough space to seat every protester, Interim Chief of IUPD Laury Flint said. “The crowd was unruly and loud to say the least,� Flint said. “It was determined they would disrupt the meeting.� IUPD agreed to let in five people at a time, but the crowd decided that was unacceptable and left, Flint said. McGee said she felt it would be a waste of time to argue with the police. Some activists, however, stayed and attended the meeting. Associate Vice President of University Communications Mark Land said the strike did not disrupt the trustees’ session and was not mentioned by board members. “There was a pretty good crowd of folks outside Franklin Hall, so it’s pretty safe to say everybody’s aware there were
people out there expressing themselves,� he said. “Once the session got started, those who came in were respectful and were welcomed into the room.� The strikers reconvened for a planning assembly in the second floor lobby of Woodburn. Students sat crosslegged on the floor as they discussed plans to move forward with the demonstration. One male student stood up and addressed the group enthusiastically, discussing the importance of doing things as a group and keeping up the momentum. “You all inspire the fuck out of me,� he said. Another female student asked the group to think about how much they learned that day by skipping class to attend the demonstration, as opposed to how much they would have learned on an ordinary school day. Flint said despite the “very loud, very vocal� demonstration, there were not any lengthy disruptions April 11. IUPD did not have to intervene at any point. April 12, the protesters reconvened at 10 a.m. for a second march. “So far, things have gone very well,� Flint said. “I think overall, we can be very pleased with our student population and the way that they’ve handled this strike.� —Matt Stefanski contributed to this report

President Obama re-elected
BY MATTHEW GLOWICKI mglowick@indiana.edu
CHICAGO — Four more years, the Chicago crowd chanted. President Barack Obama had kept his title as president after securing both the electoral and popular vote. The crowd waited for about two hours before the Obama family took the stage at McCormick Place in Chicago. A round of waves. A parting hug. And then the address to the thousands in person and the millions watching that helped vote him into office. “Tonight, in this election, you the American people reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked our-
selves up, we have fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the us of a the best is yet to come,” Obama said on Nov. 7, 2012. * * * Obama supporters who were supposed to stand in front of the stage came streaming into the hall. They walked down a parted sea with general crowd members on one side and the wall of media on the other. Like celebrities on the red carpet, some waved and flashed big smiles. Others cracked a grin as they walked down the path. One young man enthusiastically fist-pumped Obama’s victory. It was their night, too. Their man had won. Jorge Zamora, 18, is a senior at Chica-
go Bulls College Prep. He’s a member of the school’s first graduating class. He was just happy his girlfriend’s mother secured him a ticket to watch history happen, he said. He is grateful for Obama’s past actions in education. “He’s never given up on education,” Zamora said. “I’m a little poverty kid trying to come up in the world. He’s not going to give up on us.” Earlier that evening, with state results coming in sporadically, two 2011 IU graduates joined the crowd. Christian Hines, a self-described cautiously optimistic Obama supporter, and Kate Suffern, a big Obama fan, entered the hall at about 8:30 p.m. Hines said he thought Obama would eke out a victory despite a predicted
close race. But they were prepared to stay into the evening, at least through the announcement of key battleground states. “We’ll be here late,” Suffern chimed in, smiling at Hines. Throughout the evening of Nov. 7, 2012, music by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen kept the mood upbeat as crowds waited for results and waited for their re-elected president to take the stage. “It’s so electric in here,” Hines said. “You feel the energy when you walk in the door.” The growing crowds roared as New York, New Jersey and Michigan were SEE OBAMA, PAGE B4
Mike Pence inaugurated as Mourdock abortion comment draws spotlight Indiana’s 50th governor BY SAMANTHA SCHMIDT schmisam@indiana.edu
Republican state treasurer Richard Mourdock incited national attention on Oct. 23, 2012 at the U.S. Senate debate when he said he did not accept rape as an excuse for abortion. Even pregnancies from rape are the will of God, Mourdock said. “I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God,” Mourdock said. “And I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”

Joe Donnelly, D-2nd District, Mourdock and Libertarian candidate Andrew Horning participated in Indiana’s final U.S. Senate debate on Oct. 23, 2012 at IU-Southeast New Albany.

Mitch Daniels to the post in November 2012. “Indiana is the heart of the heartland,” Pence said before a crowd gathered outside the Statehouse. The Inaugural Ceremony began with performances from the 38th Infantry Band. Prior to the ceremony’s start, audi-
ence members wearing colored badges trickled inside the Statehouse. Indiana State Police officers spread themselves throughout the lobby, using dogs to inspect the area. “We have gathered here today with cold hands and feet, but warm hearts,” said the Honorable Ed Simcox, the emcee of the ceremony. Pence was then sworn in with the Benjamin Harrison Inaugural Bible. “The bible belonged to President Harrison, but the deep heartfelt SEE PENCE, PAGE B6

Parking garage used as homeless shelter BY SAMANTHA FELIX sadfelix@indiana.edu
On May 4, as many as 30 homeless people fell asleep watching “Fight Club” on a projector screen provided by homeless advocates, on the cold hard floor of a Bloomington parking garage. The city had been without a low-barrier shelter option since April 15. “We’ve been having food and projected movies, which adds some comfort to this otherwise very bare space,” said Charis Heisey, 28, an organizer for emergency shelter initiatives. For the first time in three years, both the winter and summer shelters were closed. As a result, at least 60 individuals had been left without a place to sleep, according to a May 5 press release. “What I am calling the ‘Dream Garage’ is being held at nighttime as tempo-
rary emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness,” Heisey said. During a May 3 rainstorm, 15 shelter-seekers and volunteers were looking for a place to keep dry when they first decided to enter the parking garage and sleep. “We’re using the top covered floor, which puts a roof over people’s heads that have nowhere else to go. It’s not glamorous, but it’s a safe place to sleep,” Heisey said. The next night, the number doubled to nearly 30 people and was expected to continue growing. The “Dream Garage,” named by the city as “Garage Art,” is managed by Indianapolis-based REI, a private company. The garage is located on the southwest corner of Fourth and Walnut streets, and filled an average of 45 percent of its capacity from September to mid-Novem-
ber of 2012, according to the press release. “City of Bloomington Parking Garages have been severely underutilized and are losing money,” said Nicole Cadow, 36, who had been helping with the initiative. “We’ve found a way to utilize them that requires very few resources, while minimizing use of police and healthcare resources to support the homeless community.” Karissa McKelvey, 22, another advocate for the homeless, said in a phone interview May 7 that initially the inhabitants were told by the police they could stay there at night as long as they were respectful and cleaned up. She also explained that they tried to contact the mayor for approval, but did not receive a response. Monday, the homeless advocacy group’s lawyer was contacted by the Bloomington Police
Department on behalf of the mayor, McKelvey said, to inform them that they were no longer allowed to stay there. “They told us they were going to crack down on Monday,” McKelvey said. During the night of May 6, a group of police officers showed up and asked everyone to exit the premises. Five individuals laid down and refused to leave. The police officers arrested them for trespassing. They were released several hours later. “These actions are a form of symbolism by the city saying that they will continue to criminalize homelessness instead of treating it,” McKelvey said. “It’s my personal opinion that they are costing the taxpayers more money by having them arrested instead of just establishing a homeless shelter.” Volunteers had provided food, blankets and movies as well as cleaning up

mom, and now you know where I got my height,’” Judy said. As she recounts the story, she smiles. But soon, she swallows, and her face changes as she seems to remember. Keith grew up in Jeffersonville, Ind., near Louisville, Ky., where Judy still lives. His father, Tom, lives in Floyds Knobs, Ind. He has three brothers — Mike and Steve, who are older, and a younger brother David, who died from cancer at age 14. In the past couple years after retiring from her job as a third grade teacher, Judy came to visit Keith frequently. She said one of Keith’s favorite things to do was cook, and that during holidays, she would help him bake pumpkin bread in coffee tins for all of his IUPD coworkers. “He said, ‘Mom, teach me how to make the pumpkin bread. I think that’s what I’m going to give the people I work with,’” Judy said. “Every year we would improve a little bit. So one year we got up there and he was in the kitchen, and he said, ‘I’ve got this down pat.’ And he had bought one of those huge mixers. And he said, ‘You don’t have to do anything, except when it cools you wrap it and put a ribbon on it!’” Judy laughed at the memory. “He was so proud of himself,” she said. Steve Cash is Keith’s older brother, and they went to school together for a time in college, at IU. He said Keith’s sense of humor was one of his most distinguishing traits. “A friend of mine used to be a photographer for the Lafayette paper,” Steve said. “That year I told Keith, ‘This guy Tom will be down on the field...go back down and tell him that you want to see his credentials, that something didn’t check out and you were going to throw SEE CASH, PAGE B3

Minger said Keith would text people during meetings. “You could see around the room sometimes, he would sit there and he’d text little things about the topic being discussed or the person who was talking or stuff like that,” Minger said. “So you’re trying to sit there, trying to maintain some kind of decorum and respect for the kind of meeting that you’re in while he’s firing these humorous messages at you.” Tom Lee, captain of IUPD, said Keith would even make fun of himself. “He had a friend who I guess is a dog groomer or has something to do with animals,” he said. “And it was Christmas time, and he was given what he thought was candy for him...until he’d eaten one of the chocolate suckers and realized the stick was rawhide and it wasn’t paper or wood or something. But I mean he literally told people about that, about himself. So he didn’t have any preconceived notions of grandeur.” Minger said the humor helped those at IUPD stay grounded. “He used this kind of diffusing humor or levity, but his use was very strategic, because sometimes it’s a real hard thing, to use that kind of tool,” Minger said. “If it was a discussion that was getting a little too serious or stressful, he would use it to break for people to reflect on what really was going on.” Keith’s brother Steve said IUPD was a perfect fit for Keith. During college, Keith bought his first German shepherd — a breed of dog that Keith would come to love. As Keith said, every police officer should have one, and from that point on, he always would. Keith leaves behind his current dog, Alibi, a German shepherd. At the time, it was unclear where the dog would go. Although Steve said many people have offered to take her, his family can’t. “Keith would hate to have her removed from Bloomington,” Judy said. “After high school, Bloomington’s it. I don’t think he would really ever retire anywhere else.” IUPD had grown to be Keith’s family away from home.” “I think he really lived IUPD,” said Laury Flint, the interim chief of police for IUPD. “This was his family, and this was what he liked to do. I know for a fact he’d get called day and night. He did not mind that at all.” Judy and Steve said since Keith’s death, IUPD has reached out to them and the rest of their family. “We knew why everybody liked him — now we know why he liked all the people, because they’ve been so nice,” Judy said, her voice breaking near the end. Steve nodded. “Like a real family.” * * * On Wednesday, Keith didn’t come to work. He wasn’t feeling well. Coworkers said the absence was unusual for him. Flint grew up in IUPD with Keith. Keith had been there 29 years, and she’s been there for 31. They started as cadets in the student cadet program and worked their way up. For Keith and most IUPD officers, work is a 24/7 job. Friends said Keith was always working, even when doing other things. Minger said coworkers would get emails from Keith time-stamped at three in the morning because he worked so much. “We had a staff meeting scheduled at 2:30, and he did not show up for the staff meeting,” Flint said. For several weeks, Keith had been feeling as if he had the flu. During the staff meeting, he called Lee. “He had called me in the meeting and said, ‘Hey, when you’re done with the staff

meeting, can you give me a call?’” Lee said. “My wife’s a nurse practitioner, and he wasn’t established with a family doctor, so he said, ‘Do you think she could see me today?’” Lee said she could, so he picked Keith up and drove him to the Internal Medicine Associates. On the drive over, Lee said Keith was joking and in good spirits. “In there he was joking with the staff, and he was joking until they decided that he needed to be transported to the emergency department,” Lee said. Lee asked him then, “Do you want me to go with you?” Keith said no and said he had been feeling dehydrated, expecting they’d give him some fluids and release him. However, he did ask Lee to do one thing. “He actually called me from the hospital, to tell me he’d left his coat,” Lee said, shaking his head. “He asked me if I’d get it for him, and I said I would.” While Lee went to get Keith’s coat, Minger headed to the hospital to be with Keith so that Keith would know someone was there with him. Before Lee could bring Keith his coat, he got a call. “The director called me from the hospital,” Lee said. “Then he called me back and said he’d passed.” He had died of a heart defect he’d had his whole life but that had only now surfaced. The doctors notified the family, and Flint called in all officers on duty to tell them what had happened in person. For those she couldn’t tell in person, she emailed. Lee also headed back to the IUPD headquarters, and he said he wasn’t alone. “Everybody came to the station,” he said. “I mean, third shift comes on at roll calls at 11 p.m., and people started showing up at like 9, two hours early.” Flint said they gave officers the chance to take the night off if they felt they could not continue working. “No one went home,” she said. “Everybody stayed and worked through their shift.” * * * Outside the Auditorium March 25, snow fell as a hundred officers lined up in rows leading to the entrance doors. The snow stuck to their caps and their breath condensed in clouds in the cold air. At the top of the steps, a figure appeared in the open doors. Judy stood there, clutching the flag to her chest. Steve stood to her right, his hand on her arm to help her balance. An officer stood on her left. Together, the trio passed by the hundreds of officers who had assembled to remember Keith. At the end of the service, Steve spoke on behalf of the family, addressing the audience of more than 300. “He had a family down here,” his brother said, looking around at the audience. “And a family that cared for him as much as we did.” As she descended the steps outside, Judy started to cry. The rest of their family followed behind them, including Keith’s nephew, Wyatt, who also spoke during the ceremony. “The first thing my grandma said to me after we heard of his death was, ‘We lost our buddy,’” Wyatt said. “And I replied, ‘He wasn’t just our buddy. He was everyone’s buddy.’” The family reached the end of the steps, and Judy was helped into the processional car waiting for her. The line of cars, stretching for several blocks, drove to Indiana Avenue and then up to 17th Street. At 17th and Woodlawn Avenue, the cars streamed beneath an American flag stretched between two fire trucks. When they reached IUPD, dispatch sent out the final call over the radio for all officers to hear. “This is dispatch,” the officer said, “and he’s gone home for the final time.”

Lee violates parole, returns to jail MARY KENNEY AND MICHAEL MAJCHROWICZ mskenney@indiana.edu and mmajchro@indiana.edu
A warrant was served Nov. 20, 2012 for the arrest of convicted killer Robert E. Lee. Lee reportedly violated his parole when he got into a car with a person asking for directions. Officers considered this hitchhiking. Charles Bowen, north region director for the Indiana Department of Correction, said Lee could potentially serve up to half of the remainder of his sentence for the violation. Lee served 25 years of a 60-year sentence for the 1986 murder of Ellen Marks, a 31-year-old IU graduate student at the time. Lee was released in September 2012 and had
moved at least three different times, but was initially transferred to an undisclosed location in Bloomington. Lee was also convicted of attempted rape in 1973 in New York. He had stipulations on his parole that classified him as a sex offender. “If you’re a paroled sex offender, you cannot hitchhike or get rides from strangers,” Bowen said. “We don’t allow that.” While Bowen did not have Lee’s file in front of him, he said if Lee had 34 years left of his sentence, he could serve up to 17 for the violation. St. Joseph County Jail officials confirmed that Lee was booked on Nov. 20, 2012 and was on parole hold. Bowen said Lee waived

Following the debate, Mourdock said it was “sick” and “bizarre” that anyone would believe he said God intended the rape, according to the Indianapolis Star. He said regardless of the circumstances, God created the life. Indiana Democratic Party Chair Dan Parker, a self-proclaimed pro-life Catholic, said he is ashamed Mourdock believes God intended rape. “Victims of rape are victims of an extremely violent act, and mine is not a violent God,” Parker said. “Do we need any more proof that Richard Mourdock is an extremist who’s out of touch with Hoosiers?” All three candidates declared themselves pro-life, but Donnelly said he considered rape and incest legitimate exceptions. Horning said he considered abortion a state matter. “As a federal legislator, there isn’t that much that I

called for Obama. Following behind the IU students was Chicagoan Scott Goehning, 24, who last week voted early, inspired by Obama’s act of early voting. “For me, it was an easy choice,” Goehning said. “Not only his economic policy, but as a 24-year-old, I can stay on my parents’ health care until I’m 26.” “It’s nice to have a president who would look me in the eye and say that I should be able to marry anybody that I want to.” Periods of quiet chatter masked by music, often Motown hits, were punctuated by ecstatic cheers as Obama took each state. American flags started appearing late in the evening, spreading throughout the crowd to add to the increasingly vocal cheers. Proudly wearing her 2008

can do,” Horning said. The debate began with a question regarding foreign policy. “The greatest threat to our national security is our national debt,” Mourdock said. Mourdock and Donnelly agreed that the U.S. should stand by Israel and ensure Iran does not attain nuclear weapons. Horning said he would support a non-interference strategy to foreign policy. During the LincolnDouglas portion of the debate, each candidate was invited to pose a question. Mourdock brought up the topic of health care, criticizing Donnelly for casting the deciding vote on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or what he referred to as “the greatest tax intrusion and intrusion on American liberty in history.” Donnelly responded by claiming that Mourdock plans to give $716 billion in tax breaks instead of investing it in care for senior citizens. Throughout the debate, Donnelly’s statements

contained themes of bipartisanship. Multiple times, he said Mourdock told media outlets he enjoys “inflicting his opinion on other people.” “I love to get people to think about these issues,” Mourdock said, responding to Donnelly. “It’s important stuff. This is the future of our country.” Horning said he disapproved of the two-party system. “The solution is pretty much me,” he said. “There comes a time when you need to kill the monster. You don’t need to keep feeding it.” About the question of gay marriage, both Donnelly and Mourdock said they agreed “marriage is between a man and a woman.” In his closing statement, Donnelly said he was proud to have helped create “$2.4 trillion in spending cuts” and said he stood by Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., and the people of Indiana. “The wisdom does not come from Washington,” Donnelly said. “There’s a whole lot more wisdom in Indiana.”

EDITOR: FRANCISCO TIRARDO | OPINION@IDSNEWS.COM
We were particularly proud of our University’s spirit when we found an article on Jezebel, a sub-blog of Gawker, exposing pictures of an IU Kappa Delta party with the theme “homeless.” Girls sported plaid and ripped jorts, smeared “dirt” on each other’s faces and held adorable little cardboard signs that said clever things like “give me a nickel and I’ll tickle your pickle.” The story then blew up in their faces, as it surpassed 180,000 views, was the top hit on the site and brought an Indianapolis news station to campus for a segment that aired on television. Kappa Delta’s national headquarters released a statement and said it does not at all condone this tiny cultural faux pas. We were pleased to find out the KD girls will be doing some community service. It’s good to see people can learn from their mistakes, even if they’re forced. Let’s get something out of the way, though. A Facebook response posted shortly after the story ran read, “If it takes a college theme party for the world to ‘care’ about the homeless, then thank goodness they got your attention.” That is, actually, hilarious. Just to bring you all up to speed, the New York Times found that Bloomington was the third-poorest city in America as of 2011. If you walk down Kirkwood Avenue, you’ll see that the city’s homeless population is no secret. Don’t think about who you’re defending. Think about what you’re defending. We’re not thanking anyone for bringing up an issue that is, in fact, already an issue. Beth Shalom Jewish Center, Middle Way House and other shelters are working for this cause constantly. Bloomington’s poverty situation is locally assessed, even if that’s just in creating safe places like Peoples Park or the Monroe County Library. Businesses like Bloomington Bagel Company and Bloomingfoods donate to shelters every single day to help remedy the situation. So don’t even try the fin-

whether that’s an exchange of hurtful slurs, a vandalized piece of public property, a vehicle with an intoxicated driver, a partner that has not given consent or a poorly-chosen party theme. College is not a “Get Out of Jail Free” card. College is not an Eden where you can pull as many sexist, racist and culturally insensitive jokes as you want because no one will call you out on them. College is not a Disneyland where you have free reign to make all your mistakes (offensive, deplorable, alcohol-induced ones) while you still have them in you. This isn’t about greeks. It’s about knowing your own boundaries. College is the most fun we’ll probably ever have. But these four years count and you should be able to look back on them with pride, not chuckling regret. Own up to it. Do your community service. Educate yourself. And for the love of God, the KD girls we saw sitting on Kirkwood talking with homeless people to repair a public image, thank you, thank you for trying. We really are proud. And those of you crying because you got caught — crying because you have to actually perform the philanthropic gestures that your chapters work so hard to publicize — then holy-wow does that speak volumes about these kinds of social organizations in general.

ger-wagging. What we are “thankful” for is that KD has brought to our attention a bigger problem: the huge deficit of social awareness and responsibility in IU students. Attacking greek life is too easy. Using a topic like homelessness to grill a chapter so over-manipulated that the sisters were too [insert adjec-
tive] to see past their heartless actions would be unfair. We believe they were naive and innocent when they took a dump on the faces of Bloomington’s homeless population, but social media has now dumped back. This story is an example of how too many college students think that they’re immortal. The fact these photos
were posted on Facebook is evidence IU students get away with social recklessness every weekend. If you’re at a party and something happens you think is wrong, then leave the party. At the time, no one in KD apparently thought their actions were harmful, until they got in trouble. We should be able to confront these issues before they blow up,
UPDATE: Another bit of info worth noting: This summer, Bloomington is, without a homeless shelter for the first time in years. It would be lovely if the situation could be turned into something good by addressing that need. There’s a group called Ubuntu Shelter working to try and create a shelter, but they have a pressing need for spaces to use, as well as resources and volunteers. Please draw your attention to this effort. Originally published April 22, 2013
ON THE FRITZ
Your hidden costs at IU As someone who pays for her own schooling, I’ve become hyper-aware of how mysteriously my money is being spent by the University. I hear my money goes toward misused IU Student Association funding, unnecessary University beautification projects and bloated administrative salaries for officials who do next to nothing to directly help students. To try and get my facts straight, I thought I’d break down tuition and fees into pure numbers. As an in-state student, a three-credit-hour class should cost $820.20. I’m taking 12 credit hours this semester, so I should be paying $3,280.80. Yet, the University charges a flat fee to anyone taking between 12 and 17 credit hours, so I pay $4,375 even, $1,094.20 more than I should be paying for the number of classes I’m taking. I’m basically paying for an extra class and a half for no apparent reason. I have no idea where that $1,094.20 is going. Beyond tuition, the $197.28 technology fee makes sense. A link on the Office of the Bursar’s website explains that my money is going to a practical, visible, explained
service. But I don’t know what to make of the “temporary repair and rehab” fee of $180 per term, explained only as going toward “help(ing) cover the cost of necessary repair work and ongoing maintenance for IU’s assorted infrastructure.” IU is supposedly using it for all of those construction and repair projects I didn’t approve and that I, as a student, was not able to give input on. The seemingly arbitrary $110.22 student health fee is completely unexplained. There’s also the $92.74 activity fee. Of that, $7.19 goes to IUSA’s general fund, newspaper readership program and Student Organization Funding Board. The rest, though, goes toward even more services I have absolutely no input on. We’re paying for the IU Auditorium and the Indiana Memorial Union, as well as the Outdoor Adventure Club, Graduate and Professional Student Organization, campus daycare, Student Legal Services, Union Board and a myriad of other services most of us will never use. This, of course, is on top of the $61.56 we pay each semester for use of the Student Recreational Sports Center,
even if you’re like me and never use it. You can’t opt out. The above fees, totalling $641.60, are separate from any fees we pay for the actual courses or departments we’re enrolled in. I’m paying nearly $1,500 per semester in extra tuition and fees that are unexplained or that fund programs I have no input into and will never use. The few, small fee explanations on the bursar’s website are so general that the money really could be going anywhere. To some, $1,500 may seem like a pittance, but when you’re acutely aware of just how long you’ll be repaying the loans that you’re taking out, it’s a concerning pittance. And when it’s a pittance that thousands of other students on campus are also paying for things that aren’t fully explained to us, that pittance becomes a frightening amount of money, funneled into a black hole of mysterious services. Moreover, all fees are subject to “change without notice by action of the Trustees of Indiana University,” a group that has shown time and again that it is woefully disconnected with student needs, with only a single student repre-
sentative on it. Advisers at the Office of Student Financial Assistance and the bursar’s office are notoriously terrible at explaining anything besides how to pay, if they can even do that. Bloomington Faculty Council Chief Financial Officer Neil Theobald admitted IU’s current funding formula isn’t sustainable. Out-of-state tuition is as high as it can reasonably be, and IU is turning to shortterm solutions, like privatizing parking, to solve long-term financial problems. Perhaps if students demanded more transparency in where our mystery money goes, the University would finally be forced to take a closer look at itself. In the real world, if certain costs can’t be explained or defended to the majority of financial backers, those incurring the costs are in hot water. And, for the first time in IU’s history, our tuition and fees make up more than 50 percent of the University’s revenue. We’re the financial backers. Our money gives us power, and we beat out other sources of funding by more than 35 percent. That means that they need to start paying attention

to what we need. Would any good customer pay an extra $1,500 for something without getting a full explanation of what the money was going towards first, much less without agreeing that this large sum went to things that were needed and useful? President Michael McRobbie has threatened spending cuts and layoffs in the future. As much as I’ve disagreed with McRobbie in the past, perhaps these cuts are necessary. It’s time to start letting students have some input on what we’re paying for, and why. To start, I suggest a referendum. We can no longer avoid the fact that there is financial bloating at IU probably funded by our mystery money. It is dragging the University down into the black hole after it, students and faculty alike. — kelfritz@indiana.edu Originally published Nov. 16, 2012

New jobs — 12 million, to be precise — has become the battle cry of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s campaign. Like Oprah, Romney would gesticulate wildly at America, shouting, “You get a job, and you get a job. Everybody gets a job.” Cheers ring from sea to shining sea. Chants of “Mitt, Mitt” echo across the purple mountain majesties. Amber fields of grain do the wave. The economy is what really matters, and Romney is a job creating machine. Elect him, and let him do what he was made to do. But here’s an awkward secret: it is predicted that regardless of who is president, 12 million jobs will be created by 2016. Either candidate will create jobs. A lot of jobs. Romney is running on the idea that he is good for the economy and your pocketbook, but it seems Obama would be just as good. With Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, R-Wis., as his running mate, Romney was supposed to be the quarterback of the economy. He was going to lead us to victory and make out with the hot cheerleader at Homecoming. As far as taxes, the Romney camp wants to cut taxes for everyone by 20 percent, which, with no further details, would shrink projected government revenue in 2015 by an estimated $900 billion. I know the government is supposed to be bad and everything, but it kind of needs that money to pay for things. Everyone keeps harping about the deficit, but cutting government revenue, especially by a projected 24 percent, does the opposite of assuaging that problem. We all know Romney wants to cut spending for certain programs, like NPR and PBS, which amount to a whopping 0.014 percent of the federal budget. Supposedly, there are other spending cuts he would like to make, though these remain shrouded in mystery. He wants to increase defense funding, which is the largest single category of federal spending. For some reason, fiscally minded businessman Romney really does want to spend $2 trillion the military never asked for. For those of you who have yet to vote, are still undecided, or forgot Election Day is next Tuesday, think about what Romney is really offering. He has failed to show compelling evidence that his presidency would be better for the jobs or economy than a second Obama term. His views on important social issues have been anything but consistent. He has chosen one of the most socially regressive politicians in the known universe as his running mate. His dealings with foreign leaders so far have been clumsy and embarrassing. His foreign policy seems to be “follow Obama’s lead.” He would never in a million years decriminalize marijuana. Need I say more? — casefarr@indiana. edu Originally published Nov. 2, 2012

The Bloomington Fire Department extinguishes a blaze of smoke and flames the morning of Sept. 24, 2012 at Japanee restaurant and sushi bar.
Fire engulfs Japanee restaurant MICHAEL MAJCHROWICZ mmajchro@indiana.edu
Allie Vollmer slept as her workplace was transformed into an inferno. Vollmer was hired at Japanee, a Japanese restaurant and sushi bar, five months prior. The restaurant went up in flames in the early hours of the morning Sept. 24, 2012. Investigators determined the fire had started in the kitchen, cause unknown. Vollmer walked out of Japanee after finishing her five-to-nine shift the evening of Sept. 23. “I had a job less than 12 hours ago, and at 7:30 this morning, I didn’t,” Vollmer said. “None of us really know what to do.” The three-alarm fire shut down Walnut and Eighth streets early Sept. 24, 2012. The Bloomington Fire Department responded to the fire at the restaurant at 320 N. Walnut St., across the street
from Kilroy’s Sports Bar. Traffic was redirected to Seventh Street until the road was reopened at about 10 a.m. The blaze, which consumed the back and left sides of the restaurant and front portion of the roof, was reported at about 7 a.m. Sept. 24, 2012, BFD Chief Roger Kerr said. There were no flames visible as smoke continued to rise from all sides of the restaurant at about 10 a.m. Nobody was in the restaurant at the time of the call. Kerr said conditions worsened, and firefighters had to retreat and adopt a defensive strategy. Firefighters worked throughout the morning to ensure all hot spots of the blaze were extinguished. Preliminary efforts of the investigation began afterwards. Vollmer was scheduled to return to work at 3 p.m. the day of the fire.
At about 8 a.m. Sept. 24, a Facebook notification was sent to the IU senior’s phone, changing her outlook for the next few months. The notification sounded, and Vollmer rolled over, still half asleep, to check her phone. A friend had posted to Vollmer’s page inquiring about the blaze. Vollmer pulled up a search engine and attempted to find whatever she could. She was in shock. Having confirmed the fire, Vollmer sent a concerned text to her boss, offering support and her assistance wherever it could be used. Her text was the first time Vollmer’s boss had been informed of the incident. Her boss called her in response to the text message, frantically revisiting every motion of the previous night while she worked at the restaurant. It didn’t make sense. Everything had been done
“I had a job less than 12 hours ago, and at 7:30 this morning, I didn’t.” Allie Vollmer, former Japanee employee
correctly, she said. “I think the last thing I did was say bye to everyone, told some friends we needed to go out this week,” she recalled. “I told them I’d see you tomorrow, same old same old, and maybe a drink after.” Vollmer said she was optimistic for the restaurant’s second comeback. It had recently reopened after a remodeling job last summer. “I guess that you don’t know what a good opportunity you have until it’s gone,” Vollmer said. “It’s good to build those relationships and have those times and memories with those people while you can.” Jordan Littman contributed to this report
commitment will be made by Gov. Pence,” Simcox said. Pence said Indiana is facing a time of uncertainty but could prove to be resilient, as history as shown. “We need to meet this moment with resolve,” Pence said. Pence said the gap between those serving and those being served is greater than ever. Protesters from the bus drivers’ union in partnership with the American Federation of State, City and Municipal Employees dressed in orange safety vests chanted outside the Statehouse, “Unemployment right now!” and “Get me pay!” Helm said no member of the Statehouse or Government Center had responded to the group yet, and she didn’t expect they would. Tyler White, a communications major at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, said he is looking forward to the policies Pence’s administration will be putting together. “The legislature here in Indiana is good at getting things done, so I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ll do,” White said. Pence said he would focus on good jobs, great schools, safe streets and strong families in Indiana. He said he planned to hold off on spending and give

Following his inauguration, Pence signed 15 executive orders, including several new orders. His new orders worked to implement enhanced ethics practices for state government, promote government efficiency and transparency and impose a suspension period on new regulations. According to a press release from Pence’s office, his new orders also required certain state agencies to develop family impact statements, set a goal of securing three percent of state contracts from veteran-owned businesses and established a separate Office of Energy Development. He took back one executive order, changing the reporting structure for the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board back to the governor. Pence said he wants Indiana to once again be a “torch of opportunity and hope.” McClelland said. “The state legislature has already passed it once, if they pass it again in this session, then it will come to a full vote of the state,” McClelland said. “This idea of taking away constitutional ethics, creating a second class of citizens, needs to stop now.” County and city officials, clergy members and the public stood in solidarity as the couples made their vows. Audience members cheered as confetti and bubbles filled the auditorium right after Mayor Kruzan proclaimed, “With the power not yet vested in me from the great state of Indiana, I pronounce you as partners in life.”

Going Pro “The past two years have been probably the best two years of my life, made possible by these coaches, the guys in the locker room, the fans of Indiana, the students, the people of Bloomington. It’s been a great two years, but at this point in my life, I think it’s best for me to pursue my dream of playing in the NBA.”
“It’s been an honor to play here in Indiana, to grow as a human being, as a man and as a basketball player, but I will be growing and going on and entering the NBA Draft.

Indiana Hoosier means so much to me, and I will always be an Indiana Hoosier. This is my home. I love this place.” The junior guard and his coach spoke for a half hour about where he has come from and where he is going, Oladipo’s breathing heavy as the microphone amplified it. He did not crack jokes — except to say he likely would have sung at his senior speech — or even much of a smile, a departure from the freewheeling Oladipo normally seen in press conferences. Oladipo — the first IU player to enter the draft early since Eric Gordon in 2008 — hired Raymond Brothers as his agents May 9. Mere months before, such an announcement would have been unthinkable, even for Oladipo himself. He said he heard the predictions — which saw him go from a fringesecond rounder before the season to a potential top-five pick that day — but he said he paid them little mind. Crean said they had heard no recent predictions that had Oladipo slipping out of the lottery range — the top 14 picks — in the draft. “I was hearing stuff and I was realizing that I had a good chance of

Junior guard Victor Oladipo walked onto Branch McCracken Court once more April 9, but it was different this time. He wore sweats, not the creamand-crimson jersey he had for three years. He sat next to IU Coach Tom Crean at a table set up at half-court, surrounded by a backdrop and speakers, not his teammates. Assistant coaches stood off in the distance. He did not enter to the roar of a crowd and Chuck Crabb’s voice over the loudspeaker. He did not skip around offering handshakes and fist bumps to opponents. He was not minutes away from nabbing a nimble steal or uncorking a thunderous dunk before the Assembly Hall fans. Those days are done. As had been widely speculated, Oladipo announced April 9 that he will forego his final season of collegiate eligibility at IU and enter the 2013 NBA Draft. “It’s been an honor to play here in Indiana, to grow as a human being, as a man and as a basketball player, but I will be growing and going on and entering the NBA Draft,” Oladipo said. “It’s an honor.

In the same spot where, 24 hours earlier, Victor Oladipo ended his IU career with labored posture and heavy breathing, Cody Zeller painted a different picture April 11. The sophomore forward laughed and joked as he sat at the makeshift press conference with IU Coach Tom Crean. Crean even joined in with some wisecracks, and Oladipo smiled off to the side as he sat next to a tweeting Assistant Coach Kenny Johnson. The result was the same, though. Zeller’s days in cream and crimson were brought to an end as he announced his plans to skip his final two seasons of eligibility and join his two older brothers, Luke and Tyler, in the NBA. “The past two years have been probably the best two years of my life, made possible by these coaches, the guys in the locker room, the fans of Indiana, the students, the people of Bloomington,” Zeller said. “It’s been a great two years, but at this point in my life, I think it’s best for me to pursue my dream of playing in the NBA.” While Oladipo said he did not know he was leaving until the recent season’s end, Zeller admitted he knew from the start that this year could be his swan song.
“After a while, you just kind of know,” Zeller said. “I kind of knew, barring injury or anything drastic, that this might be my last year so I was enjoying every last minute of it. There was kind of a sense of closure with playing my game at Assembly Hall and playing my last tournament. “I definitely left everything out there that I had, put everything into each practice and each game. I just kind of knew over time.” While the weight of the decision had shown through in Oladipo the day before, Zeller seemed carefree, even cheerful, Wednesday, showing none of the exhaustion that Oladipo displayed. Pondering his legacy at IU, Zeller left it open-ended with a joke about the media. “I guess that’s up to you guys.” Zeller, whose speedy progression through the Kelley School of Business has been noted in the past, is 35 credits away from a degree. He will complete his degree during the course of two summers, first taking the 14-credit I-CORE, then 15 credits the following summer. He will take six credits online.

NORMAN’S NOISE
Season ends in bittersweet fashion IU’s road wasn’t supposed to end like this. The journey that started with a preseason No. 1 ranking was supposed to be on the yellow brick road leading all the way to the wonderful land of the Final Four. The path wasn’t supposed to guide the Hoosiers right into an orange brick wall. But it did, and now the 2012-13 IU men’s basketball season is over. “We’ve had a heck of a ride with this group,” IU Coach Tom Crean said the night of the loss. “It doesn’t feel like it tonight, won’t feel like that for a couple of days, maybe longer.”
March 28’s game was a game of indecision for the Hoosiers. Instead of looking like the confident, fearless team that won an outright Big Ten title for the first time in 20 years, the Hoosiers looked like a completely different team — one we had never seen before. Because the game felt so one-sided and Syracuse was more dominant than any opponent IU has faced all season, playing the “blame game” is inevitable for fans and critics after a loss like this. Looking for people to blame is a natural way, and maybe the only way for people to cope with the
type of emotional let-down felt that Thursday. It’s an unfortunate, knee-jerk response, but let’s face it, there is plenty of blame to go around. People want to blame Crean for not preparing his team to face Syracuse’s suffocating zone. Personally, I think they were prepared for it. There’s a difference between not being prepared for the zone and not executing against it. I believe IU’s problems stemmed from the latter more than the former. At times, the Hoosiers’ ball movement was spectacular against the zone, but when you can’t knock down

open shots, great ball movement doesn’t matter. Missed shots aren’t Crean’s fault. He can’t get out there and shoot the ball himself. That responsibility falls on guys like senior guard Jordan Hulls, SEE NORMAN, PAGE C4

FOOTBALL
How IU compiled its best recruiting class in decades BY JORDAN LITTMAN littmanj@indiana.edu
Never before had IU signed a football recruiting class ranked in the top 50 nationally. For a program mired in mediocrity — the Hoosiers have the second-most losses out of any Division I program in NCAA history — why would the nation’s best high school players want to come to Bloomington? Why consider IU? In years past, they didn’t. The Hoosiers have had only one letter of intent from a fourstar recruit in the past decade. Despite this fact, IU Coach Kevin Wilson and his staff struck a chord with some highcaliber prospects this season. Four four-star recruits signed with the Hoosiers on Feb. 6, including three ranked among the top 250 players in the country. Yet, IU has won a combined five games in Wilson’s two seasons. The mediocrity on the field has hardly changed. But the Hoosiers wrangled the No. 42 recruiting class in the nation — their most talented class since scouting services such as Rivals started ranking players. Why did recruits with scholarship offers from programs including Florida State, Florida, Auburn and Notre Dame decide to come to a school that prides itself on basketball? They believed in what could be, although it did not yet exist. * * * From a coach’s standpoint, recruiting never comes easy, as dozens of other colleges may compete for the commitment of a single athlete. It can take years of dedication and bonding from a coach before a recruit decides to pledge to a school. Recruiting
also requires a good pitch. After a 1-11 record in 2011, the program’s worst season since 1984, Wilson and his coaching staff had to find something to convince this group of prospects that Indiana was on the rise. It took some time. IU was one of the last two Bowl Championship Series level schools to earn a commitment in the 2013 class. Along with Oregon State, the Hoosiers had to wait past early June for the first player to decide to play his collegiate football in Bloomington. On June 11, 2012, Fort Waynes’s Homestead High School’s wide receiver Isaac Griffith became the first athlete to commit to play for IU starting in fall 2013. IU started recruiting Griffith when he was a freshman in high school, a time when Bill Lynch was still the Hoosiers’ football coach. When Lynch was fired in 2010 and Wilson took over, the new coach continued to pursue Griffith. Despite recruitment efforts from schools such as Illinois, Michigan State and Wisconsin, Griffith, a three-star prospect, said IU was always the most honest with him. As the son of Manchester University Head Football Coach Shannon Griffith, Isaac said his trust in a program would be the deciding factor in his college decision. In Wilson’s staff, he sensed a group that would never lie to him. On June 10, 2012, after Griffith attended a summer camp in Bloomington the prior weekend, the Hoosiers offered him a scholarship. Only a day later, Griffith committed to play college football in his home state at IU. SEE RECRUITMENT, PAGE C5

Then-junior wide receiver Kofi Hughes seeks to evade a Purdue tackler when the two teams met Nov. 24, 2012. Purdue won 56-35, claiming the Old Oaken Bucket for the second consutive year.
Purdue again claims Bucket BY AARON SIEGAL-EISMAN amsiegal@indiana.edu
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — History repeated itself in the IU-Purdue rivalry game Nov. 24, 2012. The Boilermakers (6-6, 3-5) defeated the Hoosiers (4-8, 3-5) 56-35 for the second straight year in the Old Oaken Bucket game. IU had a 21-14 lead at halftime, but it was Purdue who outscored IU 42-14 in the second half to secure the bucket. After the Boilermakers weren’t able to score on their first drive of the game, the Hoosiers responded by scoring a touchdown. The Hoosiers scored on a 51-yard run from junior running back Stephen Houston on the third play of the drive.
On the next possession, Purdue answered back with an 11-play, 77-yard drive that ended with a 14-yard run from running back Brandon Cottom. Purdue scored once more in the opening 15 minutes, but the Hoosiers were able to hold Purdue scoreless in the second quarter. Houston added two more touchdowns to give IU the seven-point lead going into the locker room. But the lead didn’t last long, as Purdue scored three touchdowns on the team’s first three drives of the second half. IU countered with a oneyard quarterback sneak by sophomore Cameron Coffman to bring Indiana within seven, down 35-28 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Hoosiers scored again on their next possession, but that would be their last touchdown of the game. Sophomore wide receiver Cody Latimer said he saw mistakes that led to missed chances for putting more points on the board in the final minutes of the game. “On the offensive side, we started out firing and did a great job, but what killed us was a couple of penalties, some turnovers and missed opportunities on third downs,” Latimer said. The Boilermakers ended up recording three touchdowns on the last four drives of the game to seal the victory. Junior defensive back Greg Heban said he felt like missed tackles were the biggest factor in letting the Boil-
ermakers score 21-straight points to end the game. “We had way too many missed tackles,” Heban said. “Tackling is going to be a big emphasis for us in the offseason, and it’s something that we have to correct.” Purdue became bowl eligible with the win against the Hoosiers, and IU ended up just two games short of a postseason game, including a three-game losing streak to end the season. IU Coach Kevin Wilson said he thinks the future is bright for his squad. “It’s a young group that’s got a lot of time to continue to mature physically and mentally,” Wilson said. “We have made some good strides, but we are not as close to where we need to be.”

BASKETBALL
Syracuse zone stymies IU, ends quest for 6th banner BY MAX MCCOMBS mccombsm@indiana.edu
History did not repeat itself March 28, at least not in the way IU wanted. There was no last-minute jumper to defeat Syracuse like in 1987. There was no Sweet 16 comeback from a doubledigit deficit as there was in 2002 against Duke. There will be no sixth banner. Not this year. Instead, IU lost its fourthconsecutive game to Syracuse, the vaunted Syracuse zone defense working nearperfectly as 12 first-half turnovers put IU in an everdeepening hole. IU never tunneled out, falling 61-50 in a Sweet 16 matchup in Washington, D.C. “We had a heck of a ride with this group,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. With an Elite 8 berth at stake, only five Hoosiers scored, and only junior guard Victor Oladipo shot better than 50 percent from the field. He led the Hoosiers with 16 points. Poor shooting, a typical hallmark of IU losses, was again the culprit March 28, as the team shot just 16-of48 and a paltry 3-of-15 from 3-point range. IU took an aggressive tack from the get-go, while Syracuse’s length and athleticism was on full display. Yet each team had fairly little to show for it. With IU encountering several bodies with each drive up the lane — often resulting in fouls — and Syracuse missing several open looks, the game entered the first media timeout with IU trailing 4-3, all points coming from the foul line. Coming out of that first stoppage, though, the Orange fell into stride, building a 9-0 total run to lead 11-3. Rangy Syracuse point guard Michael Carter-Williams was on freshman guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell from the moment the Hoosier crossed midcourt on each possession, if not sooner. Ferrell had a pair of quick turnovers and the IU offense as a whole was unable to build any manner of momentum. Carter-Williams was a nearly impossible matchup for IU all evening, its smaller guards simply unable to keep pace with his longer stride and quick hands. He finished with a team-leading 24 points and four steals. IU did not convert its first field goal until 6:12 into the game when sophomore guard Remy Abell, fresh off the bench, drove for a layup. Meanwhile, the
» ZELLER CONTINUED FROM PAGE C1 college and earned degrees — Crean jumped in. He apologized, but with a smile, noted “I don’t get to interrupt him much more,” then complimented Zeller’s commitment to his studies. Zeller averaged 16.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game this season. All led the team and were improvements from his freshman campaign. Zeller said he came back this year largely to be part of the final ride with this year’s seniors, “the guys I’m closest to,” as he put it.
» NORMAN CONTINUED FROM PAGE C1 sophomore forward Cody Zeller and freshman guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell, who combined to shoot 3-of-19 from the field and only scored 10 points (all coming from Zeller). Realistically, if you want to blame Crean for anything, it has to be for sticking with Hulls and Ferrell too long, when the two shorter guards were clearly overmatched by Syracuse’s physicality and length. The only ball-handler outside of junior guard Victor Oladipo and junior forward Will Sheehey that showed any aggression against the zone was sophomore guard Remy Abell, who for some reason only played 10 minutes. When Temple’s Khalif Wyatt was lighting up IU’s de-
turnovers continued, regardless of how deep on the bench Crean went. Ferrell led with four, but Oladipo had three as well. It was not simply that IU was turning the ball over, costing itself shot attempts, though. Even when the Hoosiers managed to get a shot off, successful shots were few and far between. Meanwhile, Syracuse gradually pulled away, the lead reaching as many as 18 points. With no turnovers in the half’s last 4:42, IU mounted a late run, pulling within 11 points before settling for the 12-point halftime margin. Prior to March 28, IU had not trailed by more than three at halftime this season. IU’s newfound momentum carried over to the second stanza, as it began the period on a 7-0 run, utilizing its fast break so as not to allow the Orange zone to even set up. The deficit was quickly cut to six, ultimately the closest margin of the half. Syracuse’s offense did not stay stagnant long, though, and the extra time allowed for the zone defense to set up, which in turn slowed down the Hoosier offense. About eight minutes into the half, the Syracuse lead was back up to 12 and Oladipo sat on the bench with an apparent ankle injury from diving out of bounds. Even when the junior returned, the Orange continued to slowly pull back out of reach. IU never wavered from its game plan on offense, sending the ball down low at every opportunity, forcing plays at times. Yet no matter which Hoosier had the post, no shot went uncontested. Three different players posted at least two blocks for the Orange on their way to 10 overall. When IU attempted one last run, it was not through post play. A 3-pointer by senior forward Christian Watford, in his final college game, pulled IU within 10 points at 56-46 with 3:40 remaining. It was as close as IU would get, as Syracuse salted away the game with free throws and its suffocating zone defense. With about 30 seconds left, Crean inserted senior forward Derek Elston, a symbolic move that put the team’s three seniors — three players who had keyed IU’s return to relevance in the past four years — on the floor together one last time. But on March 28, they could not finish what they started.
Zeller plans to work out with Oladipo as the pair prepares for the draft. As with Oladipo, Zeller has received feedback indicating he will be a lottery pick, Crean said. Yet Crean is already looking ahead at the long-term picture for his team, one in which he anticipates more players earning opportunities to leave early. As the press conference closed, he promised there would not be another sequel today. “We will not be here tomorrow, ’cause I’m going recruiting.”
fense in the round of 32, Crean was not afraid to play Abell in important minutes. But when Syracuse continued to force Ferrell into turnovers and consistently took advantage of Hulls’ and Ferrell’s inability to guard Orange players, Crean kept Abell up his sleeve. You can’t blame Crean for the Hoosiers’ execution, but you can blame him for not putting the right guys on the court. For this reason, we must not remember the 2012-13 season for how it ended; we must remember this team for allowing us to be a part of the ride that took IU by storm. We must remember the three seniors, forward Derek Elston, Watford and Hulls, that dreamt about bringing IU basketball back — and then fulfilled that dream beyond most of our wildest hopes.
Buzzer beater beats Purdue BY ROBBY HOWARD robhowar@indiana.edu
Senior guard Jasmine McGhee prayed before Feb. 20’s game, and as time expired, her prayer was answered as her shot from the right wing hit nothing but net to knock off No. 22 Purdue 62-61 at Assembly Hall. “We just knew we had to get it down the floor, and the ball just came to my hands, and it left, threw up a prayer, and it went in,” McGhee said. After controlling the lead for most of the second half, IU found itself trailing by one with 12.6 seconds to go. Freshman guard Nicole Bell fought full court pressure and managed to find McGhee, who was the primary option on the play out of the timeout. McGhee took a few quick dribbles to her right, and with a hand in her face, fired a mid-range jumpshot that put an end to the Hoosiers’ 10-
» OLADIPO CONTINUED FROM PAGE C1 getting to the NBA, but I was just focused on Indiana and wearing them candy stripes that I wasn’t really worried about anything else until the end of the year,” Oladipo said. “It seemed like the best decision was to go.” To Crean, though, this was no surprise. He said he knew as early as last season that Oladipo would have this opportunity. The general public, though, did not. A three-star recruit ranked No. 144 nationally in the 2010 class by Rivals.com, Oladipo arrived without the hoopla of most future lottery picks. Oladipo’s scoring, rebounding and steals rose every year at IU, culminating in averages of 13.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and
game losing streak and eightgame losing streak to Purdue. “We didn’t get down in the front court with as much time as we had hoped,” IU Coach Curt Miller said. “But to Jazz’s credit, some kids hide in that situation and say, ‘Hey coach, I couldn’t get the ball.’ She worked really hard to get the ball, and we asked her to make a play and she did. “That’s not coaching. That’s players that are living in the moment and not shying away in the moment and willing to go put it on their shoulders.” It was McGhee’s first game-winner of her career. IU’s last win against a top 25 team came Dec. 5, 2010, against Nebraska. The last time IU beat Purdue was Jan. 19, 2009. Only one player, fifth-year senior center Sasha Chaplin, played on the team then. McGhee led all scorers with 26 points on 11-of-17
2.2 steals per game. He took home multiple player-ofthe-year honors and made numerous first-team AllAmerican teams. In what Crean predicted as a rarity for early entrants, Oladipo will have his degree by the time he is drafted, graduating in May after only three years in college. He said having that accomplished did make his decision easier. After a half hour, Oladipo stood up, quiet and still staring into the distance, the weight of his decision still evident in his posture. Before he was fully upright, though, Crean extended a quick hand, and the player and coach shared one final handshake. “Victor epitomizes, to me, what it is to have someone who deserves to have those options in his life,” Crean said. “He has truly, truly earned those. He
shooting. Senior forward Aulani Sinclair added 16 points. While Miller has preached that this season is not about wins and losses, he made an exception for Wednesday’s win, as he opened by telling the media with a wide grin on his face, “That was fun.” “It was Purdue, right?” he said. “It’s always the exception with Purdue. It’s going to be a great rivalry.” Miller said the win came from a “perfect storm,” mentioning that the bye-week helped give rest to McGhee, Sinclair and Bell, who have played more than 90 percent of the possible minutes in the past five games. He also said he felt the team had hit “rock bottom” after a 30-point loss at Michigan State on Feb. 13. “You could feel it coming into this week that they wanted to get out there and prove more than what happened in East Lansing,” he said. IU outrebounded
Purdue 35-33. Miller said he noticed watching game tape that in the first matchup in West Lafayette, which IU lost 59-42, his team limited the Boilers to missed first shots, but couldn’t finish with a rebound. “That was very key,” Chaplin said. “All week, Coach Miller and the coaching staff preached rebounding, outrebounding, outrebounding. In our first game, that’s the reason that they pulled away and beat us was because of rebounding and turnovers. Tonight, we controlled what we could do: that’s crash the boards and rebound.” With the game coming down to the final seconds, McGhee couldn’t help but think her prayers earlier in the day paid off when she launched her jumper. “I prayed about this game, and I think God just kind of helped us out a little bit,” she said.

» RECRUITMENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE C2 “I bonded well with the coaches, but I also bonded well with the players,” he said. “That really helped out with my decision. It’s a big family down there, and that was the main thing I was looking for in a team.” * * * At the time of Griffith’s decision, Wilson was pursuing other in-state prospects committed elsewhere. Ben Davis safety Antonio Allen was an Ole Miss pledge, and Pike defensive end David Kenney was committed to Iowa. North Central High School defensive tackle Darius Latham chose Wisconsin only a month after Griffith picked the Hoosiers. All three were rated as four-star recruits by Rivals. com. During talks with Wilson soon after his commitment, Griffith was told to assist in
the recruiting effort by persuading them to stay in Indiana. Getting them to switch to a school that has not made a bowl game since 2007 proved to be a challenge. “I went to the same camp as Antonio, and we started talking,” Griffith said. “I said, ‘We need you guys to stay instate with us, so that way we can build something that’s never been done before. “I didn’t know if it would work, but I believed in Coach Wilson’s message.” * * * In the month following IU’s first commitment, three other recruits made the choice to join the Hoosiers: tight end Evan Jansen of Cincinnati, defensive end Patrick Dougherty of Aurora, Ohio, and tight end Danny Friend of Morris, Ill. Allen, Latham and Kenney remained committed elsewhere. A decisive domino had yet to fall. That occurred Aug. 1, 2012, when Allen decom-
mitted from Ole Miss. Ranked as the 231st-best player in the country, Allen had other offers from Michigan State, Louisville, Cincinnati, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota and Purdue. But when he decided where he would be attending college eight days later, one recruiting pitch stood out. He made his commitment to IU on Aug. 9, 2012, and became the highest rated athlete to ever sign with the Hoosiers. “They never stopped recruiting me, even when I was committed to Ole Miss, and that meant a lot,” Allen said. “Also, with my family, I chose Indiana so they could go to all my games.” Just three days later, Brownsburg High School athlete Chase Dutra committed to IU and became the third in-state prospect to join the Hoosiers’ recruiting class. Dutra, Allen and Griffith then shifted their collective efforts to switch

Hoosiers beat No. 17 Purdue BY EVAN HOOPFER ehoopfer@indiana.edu
The IU volleyball team gathered at center court, jumping up and down with their arms around each other, and sang the Indiana fight song. It was the first win of the Big Ten season for the Hoosiers. “We know how good of a team we are,” senior middle blocker Samantha Thrower said. “We were just waiting to prove it to everybody, and that’s what we did tonight.” IU (9-12, 1-8) took down No. 17 Purdue (14-6, 5-4) in four sets Oct. 16 to grab its first Big Ten victory of the season. “We fought all week, and I think we put ourselves in good opportunities,” junior defensive specialist Caitlin Hansen said. “We executed, and we stayed in the moment the entire time.” Hansen got the start at libero and responded with a career-high 22 digs. Since the fourth set against Illinois on Sept. 28, freshman defensive specialist Courtney Harnish had been the team’s libero instead of Hansen. “I think (Hansen) did a really good job,” IU Coach Sherry Dunbar said. “I think she really struggled in that third set, and then I think she made a decision that she was going to step up and start passing better.” After withstanding a Purdue rally, IU was able to take the first set 25-22. IU ran out to a 20-13 lead in the second set. The Boilermakers went on a 10-3 run to knot the score at 23-23.
Junior outside hitter Jordan Haverly recorded a kill, followed by sophomore middle blocker Morgan Leach’s block to take the set 25-23. This was the first time in 28 Big Ten matches that IU had gone up two sets to none on a conference opponent. Purdue stormed to a 14-7 lead in the third set and never relinquished control, picking up the 25-15 win. After struggling in the third set, Hansen said the team told each other to stay in the moment and keep calm. “We just kept fighting,” Hansen said. “That was our biggest thing. We are going to fight harder to them, and we did.” The fourth set ended when Thrower and senior right-side hitter Kelci Marschall combined for the clinching block. Dunbar said her team has been playing at a high level for two weeks. During that span, the team took then-No. 4 Nebraska to five sets and were able to steal a set from thenNo. 19 Ohio State and No. 1 Penn State. “I had a good feeling going in, because I had a good feeling the last two weeks,” Dunbar said. “I knew that at some point it was going to come through.” The team’s play in the fourth set was not a result of luck, but simply a decision to win, Dunbar said. “I said, ‘Look, we have to make a decision that our will is stronger than their will,’” Dunbar said. “And we came out right away, we got an ace, a block and we scored three points really quickly, and that was a really good start for us.”

IU captures 1st division title in program history BY TRENT STUTZMAN tlstutzm@indiana.edu
In 2012, the IU water polo team set a school record with 28 wins in a season. The 2013 Hoosiers made their own history April 13 and April 14, winning their first Collegiate Water Polo Association Western Division Championship. No. 15 IU (19-12) went 3-0 in the tournament to take home the title, defeating No. 18 Michigan 10-7, Gannon 16-5 and No. 16 and top-seeded Hartwick 12-11. “It feels great to come out of a good weekend of play as winners,” junior attacker Shae Fournier said. “The best part is that we were able to put a whole team effort in and many people were involved both offensively and defensively.” The win against Hartwick came in dramatic fashion. After jumping out to a 5-2 first quarter advantage, IU slowly relinquished its lead. Hartwick scored the next three goals over the course of a quarter and a couple minutes to it
up at 5-5. After the two teams traded goals, IU went on a 3-0 run of its own before Hartwick scored again at the end of the third quarter, making it 9-7 in favor of the Hoosiers. IU scored twice and Hartwick thrice through the first fiveand-a-half minutes of the final period, putting IU up 11-10. Then, with 2:25 remaining, freshman goalkeeper Jessica Gaudreault make a save on a Hartwick penalty shot, preserving the IU lead. The Hoosiers continued to hold off the Hawks, but not for long. With 32 seconds remaining, Hartwick tied the score at 11-11. “Their last goal was stressful, but I know as a player you have to move on to the next play,” Fournier said. “Our mindset can’t stay on their last goal. We needed to shift gears to being able to put one away ourselves.” They did just that. On IU’s next possession, Fournier SEE WATER POLO, PAGE C7

Beta Theta Pi wins amid controversy BY ROBBY HOWARD robhowar@indiana.edu
Will Kragie only needed a little sunshine. The Beta Theta Pi senior said he proclaimed in February that if the sun was shining on race day, his team would win. On the final lap of April 20’s 63rd men’s Little 500, Kragie saw a sliver of sunshine, a tiny space separating Delta Tau Delta rider Paul Smith and the inside of the track. Kragie squeezed through it, passing Smith on the inside around Turn 3 to give Beta its first Little 500 championship in nearly 50 years. Delt’s riders believe Kragie rode into the gutter, the cement that separates the track from the infield, before making the pass on Smith, and were frustrated no call was made by the officials, Smith said. “He opened up nicely. I took it,” Kragie said. “He was not happy I did. I said from the beginning it’s going to be a physical race if we’re going to win it. I’m not afraid to bump shoulders with anybody. I’m happy I threw down. I’m going to look back and say that I did everything that I could, and it worked.” Delts finished second behind Beta as Smith came up just short in the two-team sprint to the finish line. Phi Delta Theta, Cutters and Black Key Bulls rounded out the top five. Wright Cycling won the Dixie Highway Award for the second consecutive year, finishing 11th after starting 31st. For Beta fifth-year senior Eric Anderson, watching during the final two turns from the team’s pit located just before turn one proved to be stressful. “I saw Kragie kind of get the inside, and then they disappeared,” Anderson said, as the stage stood between his team’s pit and the final turn. “It took them forever to get here. “It was like the most suspenseful moment of my life. To see him come around — it’s gotten so loose out there that when I saw he had the inside line I knew he was going to hold it.” Beta is the first team to win from the pole position since Cutters did in 2010. It is Beta’s second Little 500 championship, with its first coming in 1964. “Next year was going to be the 50th anniversary of the last time Beta won,” Kragie said. “We were much more interested in celebrating a one-year anniversary of our victory.” The race almost didn’t come down to a final sprint. With 16 laps to go, Beta started to open up a large lead on the rest of the pack. With 11 laps to go, stadium announcer Chuck Crabb said Beta had an
11-second lead. Then Smith went to work. He hopped on the bike with 20 laps to go. With six laps to go, Smith had moved to within striking distance. With three laps to go, he had passed Beta’s Tom Laser. “We were drilling it from behind them,” Smith said. “They were pretty far up. Phi Delts was killin’ it. I was killin’ it. BKB was. Cutters. Everybody was trying to bridge up to them. When they exchanged, I got close enough that I got to bridge solo to them.” Kragie said the team never got too overjoyed when it had its large lead, and it never panicked when Smith made up the ground. But Anderson was still shocked. “We weren’t really expecting Paul to be able to do 20 laps like he did and catch us,” Anderson said. “When he caught Laser, my heart skipped a beat. I was like, ‘No! We were just up by half a lap! What happened?’” Kragie got back on the bike with two laps to go. He wasn’t supposed to. That was Anderson’s slot in the rotation and the team had planned for him to complete the sprint. But he had problems with his legs cramping. So Kragie stepped in at the last minute. “Kragie was Kragie and just got on there, head down, caught him and then made a hell of a move on the inside,” Anderson said. Kragie said after the race that he really didn’t want to get on the bike. He thought he was too tired. He took the first lap to stay on Smith’s wheel, knowing he would wait for the backstretch of the final lap to make his move. Kragie recalled a race in St. Louis during spring break, in which it was a sprint between him and Smith. In that race, Kragie shared pulls with Smith, and Kragie felt like he handed him that race. He wouldn’t let that happen again. “I said, ‘You know what? I’m not letting this guy ride away with it again,’” Kragie said. “I got up to him. He pulled a lap. All I needed to do was close.” Four years ago, when Anderson first joined Beta, the team had qualified 33rd and finished 29th the year before. In his fourth race for Beta, he basked in a sun-splashed Little 500 championship. “It’s unbelievable,” he said. “This is the perfect ending to anyone’s college career. I can’t imagine it being any better than this. “So many things have to go right for you to win this race. This still does not feel real. And I don’t know if it ever will.”
Delta Gamma wins women’s race BY CONNOR KILLOREN ckillore@indiana.edu
What unfolded on the track at Bill Armstrong Stadium on April 19 was a carbon copy of the 2012 Women’s Little 500. With a heroic effort from senior rider Kayce Doogs, Delta Gamma claimed its second consecutive title, becoming the sixth team in the event’s history to win back-to-back races. Entering the 97th of 100 laps, Kappa Kappa Gamma held a sizeable lead and began its sprint to the finish, though the race was far from decided at that juncture. Doogs and senior Kappa Alpha Theta rider Kathleen Chelminiak — the two finished first and second in last year’s race, respectively — closed in on Kappa Kappa Gamma on the final lap, engaging in a battle to the
finish line. However, Doogs said that she and her team were already prepared for just that type of exhilarating finish. “We had a feeling halfway through the race that it was going to come down to a sprint finish,” she said. “It was really windy, and my coaches just told me, ‘you need to sit a wheel and wait to go in turn three.’ Kappa kind of broke away, so we all just chased, and I sat third wheel and went when I had to go. “It worked out perfect. It was beautiful.” Prior to the head-tohead sprint finish between Doogs and Chelminiak, overtaking Kappa Kappa Gamma was a challenge in itself, one that arrived as a surprise to Delta Gamma Coach Pam Loebig. “It really kind of caught us off-guard, because all
of a sudden Kappa had this gap,” she said. “But it worked out well because Chelminiak was chasing and Kayce was right on her wheel. “We just had to wait it out, and we thought, ‘OK, they’ll catch them in the sprint,’ and she more than caught them in the sprint. She blew by them in the sprint and just left them behind.” Despite her team’s title chances dwindling with every passing second late in the race, Loebig said she remained confident a victory still wasn’t out of the question, particularly with a rider of Doogs’ caliber on the track. “This race, just like last year, was exactly to our plan,” Loebig said. “Around lap 70, we started playing endgame and counting laps and deciding who was going to ride what laps. We
did it exactly to our plan and it worked out well.” Entering the race wearing the coveted yellow jersey, Delta Gamma knew it had a target on its back, but the experience of having won last year’s event aided in capturing this year’s crown. Doogs said the effort she and her team put in during the past year, even after their first win, was crucial to Delta Gamma’s ability to repeat. “It’s incredible,” Doogs said. “We elevated our training even more after winning last year. Some people might think winning once is enough, but it wasn’t enough for us. We wanted to win again. “It’s amazing because we’ve been planning for this for so long. We’ve pictured in our minds, and it was just a matter of making it come true.”

» RECRUITMENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE C5 Meanwhile, Dutra and Griffith befriended Kenney, attending games with him and persuading him to change his commitment to the Hoosiers. Kenney, Latham and Allen were all friends prior to their senior year of high school. Even though IU did not have much on-field success, choosing to play for the Hoosiers became an honorable choice. “We said we wanted to be the class that turned IU around,” Dutra said. “We wanted all the top talent to be at the same school and have us be the ones who changed it around.” * * * On Oct. 14, Kenney announced he would not be attending Iowa. Less than 24 hours later, Latham decommitted from Wisconsin. One week after he left Iowa’s recruiting class, Kenney committed to IU. He became the second four-star recruit in the Hoosiers’ class, ranked as

the No. 244 prospect in the nation. As in-state recruits made the move to IU, out-of-state prospects took notice. On Oct. 24, four-star athlete Rashard Fant from Fairburn, Ga., committed to IU instead of Florida State. Fant’s reasoning in choosing IU over a program like FSU, a school that is closer to home and far more successful in football, was simple, he said. “I wanted to go somewhere where I could build a program, get a great education and make a difference,” Fant said. “I wanted to help a school not known for football and put the name on the map.” One month after Fant committed, Latham made the decision to join the Hoosiers’ recruiting class. Since then, nine other players have chosen IU, including Georgia high school teammates Noel Padmore and Kristopher Smith. Other recruits have joined Griffith and Dutra in enhancing the social media presence of IU football. Fant even said he is going to be play-
ing with his “brothers” in Bloomington. On Feb. 6, the 22 prospects made their pledge to IU official as each signed a National Letter of Intent, a binding document that notifies the NCAA they have accepted a scholarship offer to play for the Hoosiers. Wilson has said that IU “is too good of a school to not have a good football team.” Now, he and his staff have made the highest-ranked recruiting class in program history official. For the players committed to play for IU starting fall 2013, the fact that the Hoosiers are 5-19 in the past two seasons doesn’t matter. They said this class is geared toward changing the tide of Indiana football from one of failure to one of success. “With them, we want to be a part of something that has never been done before,” Griffith said. “We want to be the ones that put the home team back on the map. “We saw that vision that Coach Wilson saw, and are ready to be a part of something special.”
everything in my power to do that.” The game-winner was Fournier’s second of her career that came at the last second. Last year against Long Beach State, she netted a score with 0.3 seconds remaining for a 7-6 Hoosier victory. IU’s wins against Michigan and Hartwick avenged the losses in recent matches against each. Hartwick defeated IU 8-7 on Feb. 16, and Michigan beat
the Hoosiers in their regular season finale on March 30, 8-7 in overtime. Fournier couldn’t choose one over the other as being sweeter revenge. “I don’t think I can say either win is more satisfying,” she said. “Both games were equally important in winning the title this weekend, but also in bringing the team together and giving us good momentum going into Eastern Championships.”
bounced off the right side of the post. “In the second half, it didn’t come in the box very often,” Soffner said. “When it hit the crossbar, I was so happy. Sometimes you just need a little bit of luck. We deserved it at that moment. If it takes a little luck, we’ll definitely accept it.” In three of IU’s five NCAA Tournament matches, the Hoosiers were unable to score in the first half. Each of those
games were against a single-seeded foe that outshot IU in the first half — No. 1 Notre Dame, No. 9 North Carolina and No. 3 Georgetown. All three times, the Hoosiers won by a goal. Yeagley said words were insufficient. “Words are hard to explain emotionally what was shared in the locker room and what that team shared in the field,” Yeagley said.

Janos Starker, famed cellist, professor dies FROM IDS REPORTS
April brought the final notes of a masterful lifetime performance. Janos Starker, a distinguished professor in the Jacobs School of Music, died April 28 at age 88. Considered one of the world’s greatest cellists for his technical mastery and intensely expressive playing, Starker won a Grammy Award for best instrumental soloist performance. “All of us at Indiana University are deeply saddened by the passing of Janos Starker, one of the greatest cellists to have ever lived and one of the University’s true artistic giants,” IU President Michael McRobbie said in a press release. “His was an extraordinary career, encompassing performances with the world’s most prestigious orchestras, solo concerts and
numerous award-winning recordings, all of which were marked with a legendary virtuosity that will be analyzed and appreciated for years to come.” Starker was born to Jewish parents in Budapest, Hungary, in 1924, giving his first cello performance at age 6. A prodigy of music, he would enroll in the Franz Liszt Academy of Music at 11and make his professional debut at 14. “Few performers achieve the kind of technical mastery, innovation and scintillating stage presence that defined Professor Starker,” McRobbie said. Starker’s family spent three months in a Nazi concentration camp. His parents survived, but his two brothers died. He worked as an electrician and sulfur miner before his first recording in 1947. That first recording, a sonata by the Hungarian com-
poser Zoltán Kodály won a Grand Prix du Disque and brought him international attention. In 1948, he immigrated to the U.S. Starker played for the Dallas Symphony, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chicago Symphony before joining the Jacobs School of Music faculty in 1958. Starker established the Eva Janzer Memorial Cello Center at IU in 1979, creating a camaraderie of cellists on the Bloomington campus. Before his passing, Starker performed benefit concerts at the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall and received five honorary doctorates. His discography includes more than 165 works. “Indiana University was truly fortunate to be the teaching home for this largerthan-life figure who captivated and inspired all of us, musicians and non-musicians
Lil Bub & Friendz film premieres at Buskirk Chumley Theatre FROM IDS REPORTS
Every cat will have its day. Lil Bub, a Bloomington cat of internet fame, was the subject of a feature film about the rise of online celebrity among animals that debuted April 28 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre. “Lil Bub & Friendz,” which debuted at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival, addressed the virality of cat videos on YouTube, as well as other animal memes like Grumpy Cat. The movie claimed to be the first to investigate the phenomenon of internet cats and memes and is a story of “positivity and optimism in the face of hardship,” according to its press release. The film’s $10 ticket price benefitted local and regional animal charities. The nearly 2-year-old Bloomington feline is known

Claire Stilwell traveled all the way from New Jersey to Bloomington to attend her daughter’s last IU Homecoming. She discovered that one of the major parts of the Homecoming tradition, the parade, would not happen in 2012. It was the first time in 54 years IU did not have a parade to celebrate Homecoming festivities. The IU Alumni Association, IU Student Alumni Association and Union Board made a change in the typical Homecoming events by
organizing a free concert at Dunn Meadow with pop rock band South Jordan and local singer and songwriter Zach Majors. “We were trying to put on a concert while serving as a pep rally for tomorrow’s game,” Mike Hammersley, director of the Homecoming concert for SAA, said Oct. 5, 2012. J.T. Forbes, executive director and CEO of IUAA, said in a press release the new approach allowed alumni to soak in the campus atmosphere during Homecoming weekend. “We are aiming to make Homecoming week a memorable experience for
Hoosier faithful of all stripes and tastes,” Forbes said. “No matter the event, expect one common element: Hoosier spirit.” Students and parents expressed disappointment at the cancellation of the parade. “I think it’s always a nice tradition to have a Homecoming parade,” Stillwell said. “In the past, the parade hasn’t got enough support.” Junior Chandlar Smith was surprised the parade would not take place this year.

Dunn Meadow gets

Maps & Atlases’ lead singer and guitarist Dave Davison performs at Culture Shock on April 14 in Dunn Meadow. Culture Shock is an annual, all-day music festival organized by WIUX.
WIUX’s annual ‘Culture Shock’ event features local, touring musicians BY AUDREY PERKINS audperki@indiana.edu
The sound of live indie music echoed throughout campus on April 14. Student radio station WIUX 99.1 FM and the Business Careers in Entertainment Club combined to host the annual Culture Shock music festival from noon to 10 p.m. April 14 in Dunn Meadow. Junior Jen Samson was one of the student organizers of
the concert. She said she was happy with this year’s turnout because a downpour of rain had stifled recent incarnations of the event in the past. “It’s been really great seeing everybody come out here,” she said. That Saturday, sunlight beamed onto the ground, combining with drifting cigarette smoke. This haze settled over the crowd of about 100 people. There was not a drop of rain in sight.
Local artist builds angel sculpture for B-Line trail BY CELIA GRUNDMAN celgrund@indiana.edu
An eagle sculpture, WFHB’s firehouse dog Spot, the angel at Rachael’s Café and the giant guitar on the parking garage at Seventh and Walnut streets all share a common birthplace. They were built right outside community radio WFHB’s headquarters on Fourth and Walnut streets. Local collaborative artist Joe LaMantia constructed those sculptures, and he built another angel. He built it in the open air so passersby could join and learn. “It becomes a classroom on the street, and tuition is free,” LaMantia said. The completed angel was fastened to Auto Heaven Auto Parts located on the B-Line Trail. Auto Heaven owner Chuck Forney said the angel would be a great fit for his business. “We’re big recyclers,” Forney said. “Repurposing works well. Joe’s done some neat stuff with sustainability and recycled auto parts. It’s great.” Split into two halves, the angel presents both a woman and a man. The faces join together in the center. “Being whole is having both those entities,” LaMantia said. “I like that. It makes a peaceful human being.” The angel holds a book with a red heart in the center, and each feather on the wings from an Indiana license plate. LaMantia needed more donated license plates. Al Feitl of Ellettsville, Ind., and member No. 5947 of the Automobile License Plate Collectors Association, dropped by LaMantia’s work station to deliver a bagful of plates. Feitl had 3,000 stored in a room above his garage, which he said was a small collection. He knew people who had 70,000 and brought small trailers to conventions. “I haven’t been involved in an art project like this before,
although I’ve seen people use license plates for birdhouses,” Feitl said. “This is a good cause, this angel.” LaMantia said he found Feitl through a mutual acquaintance. “I keep on telling people, networking is a type of empowerment,” LaMantia said. “People feel like a part of it, and they are. Every part is essential.” LaMantia said he enjoys the interchanges with people and hopes to encourage them to push themselves with new opportunities. LaMantia worked on the project outside WFHB every day but Sunday, weather permitting,. People could stop by to donate license plates, help cut out and put on feathers or offer a word of compassion in any language to include on the angel’s book. “A public art piece is like this radio station,” LaMantia said. “It’s community-based, people come together to share an interest in music they like and it’s run by local people.” Using the analogy of a boomerang, LaMantia said he tried to be ready and receptive for the idea he puts out to return with more input. The idea of the angel developed further when his wife suggested he dedicate it to the late Jeanne Walters, a local realtor who was compassionate and involved in the community. He also enjoyed the problem-solving aspect of projects. For instance, he initially planned for the angel’s halo to be a bicycle wheel but realized he needed something larger. A couple from Washington, Ind., stopped by and brainstormed with him. They mentioned that manufacturing carts have large wheels. “It does take a village,” LaMantia said. “It wouldn’t be much fun just buying materials.”
“We’re creating art for the people. We want everybody to get together and make something beautiful happen in the world.” Anu Nath, bassist and vocalist of Apache Dropout
At the mouth of the meadow facing Kirkwood Avenue stood the main stage. Many bands graced the stage, including local group Apache Dropout. Anu Nath, also known as Nathan, is a bassist and vocalist of the group.
Resting against the mossy surface of a tree after his performance, he described playing his instrument. “The bass sort of strips everything down into a really simple level,” he said. The sound of this group is
difficult to describe because it is so intricate, Nath said. WIUX described the group as “psych-rock veterans who throw every decade into a blender and spit out the best Technicolor smoothie you could ask for.” The group first got together five years ago, Nath said. While this was not his first time being at Culture Shock, he said this was the first time Apache Dropout had played in the festival, joining event headliners
Mikal Cronin and Maps and Atlases. “I love to play outside,” Nath said. “You get to play really loud. It’s really fun.” In the five years the members of Apache Dropout worked together, Nath said they had constantly grown in that time. “We’re creating art for the people,” he said. “We want everybody to get together and make something beautiful happen in the world.”

» HOMECOMING CONTINUED FROM PAGE D2 “I think the parade gets the town really involved,” Smith said. “It’s sad that it was cancelled.” Junior Scott Diebel said he believed there must have been a reason for the cancellation. “It’s a shame because there is so much tradition in the Homecoming parade, but I’m sure the choice was made after careful consideration,” Diebel said. Kasie Kyle, director of Live from Bloomington, the local music committee for Union Board, said SAA and Union Board were determined to plan a Homecoming event in place of the parade. “This was Union Board and SAA’s effort to give students something to do on Friday night that was a celebration of Homecoming week,” Kyle said. On the morning of Oct. 5, 2012 the location of the concert was changed to the north dining hall of McNutt residence hall due to a forecast of rain. Max Long, assistant guest services manager for IU Event Services, said they used social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter to inform students of the change in venue. “We did a walkthrough and made sure everyone knew what the rules and guidelines were,” Long said. “Then, it was basically getting the equipment in and informing everyone that the location had been moved.” Despite the change in

location, Event Services said about 250 people came to support the IU cheerleaders and members of the Homecoming court. The cheerleaders pumped up the crowd in anticipation of the Homecoming game. Sophomore quarterback Tre Roberson urged the crowd to support the football team. The IU Student Athletic Board crowned Chris Port and Amanda Malkowski Homecoming king and queen, respectively. “I thought it was a really good turnout, considering the conditions,” Port said. “It’s always good to see school spirit, especially during Homecoming week.” Although the event was not as originally planned, Kyle described it as a great night. “For it being a rainy, dreary night and since we had to change the location the day of, it’s great that this many people showed up with how short notice they had in change of location,” Kyle said.
Glover screens pair of films at IU Cinema BY CAROLYN CROWCROFT ccrowcro@indiana.edu
On Feb. 15 and 16, the IU Cinema welcomed actor and filmmaker Crispin Glover as he presented two of his feature films and live dramatic narrations. Glover showed the first two films from his “IT” trilogy, “It is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE” and “What is It?” The films and narrations began at 7 p.m. each night. Glover’s live narrations, known as “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show,” were broken into two parts and based off of the eight books Glover has written during the years. Each book is based on 19th-century books he has reworked and combined with photographs and his original drawings, he said. Glover said he always loved writing and drawing accidentally fell into bookmaking in the early 1980s. “I was in an acting class, and down the block was an art gallery that had a bookstore upstairs,” he said. “In the bookstore, there was a book for sale that was an old binding taken from the 1800s, and someone had put their artwork inside the binding. I thought this was a good idea and set out to do the same thing.” It’s all the work he did with writing and editing books that lead him naturally into filmmaking, Glover said. “When I was editing my first feature film, there was a reminiscent quality to the way I worked with the books,” he said. “As I was expanding the film in to a feature from what was originally going to be a short, I was taking film material that I had shot for a different purpose originally and re-purposed it for a different idea, and I was writing and shooting and ultimately editing at the same time.” Glover said he got the idea to start performing live narrations based off his books because he felt the best way to tell his stories was through visual representation. He began the first part of his live narration, “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show Part 1,” in 1992. “The content of that show has not changed since I first started performing it,”
“I was in an acting class, and down the block was an art gallery that had a bookstore upstairs.

Crispin Glover, actor and filmmaker
Glover said. “But the performance of the show has become more dramatic as opposed to more of a reading. The books do not change but the performance of the show, of course, varies slightly from show to show based the audience’s energy and my energy.” While Glover has acted roles in many major films, most notably as young George McFly in “Back to the Future,” Glover said he was focused on the filmmaking aspect of his career. “My own filmmaking is what takes most of my energy now and is the most important thing to me,” he said. “In the last decade, I have been specifically funding my films with the money I make as an actor. So I almost think of the roles I am offered as acting assignments.” Glover said he was working on the third film in the IT trilogy, “IT IS MINE.” He said he also planned on working on films outside the trilogy, and was not concerned with whether his films receive any sort of commercial backing. “It seems plausible that my own filmmaking may coincidentally align to the interests of corporate distribution, and if that should happen and it makes a mathematical sense to sell to a distribution company, then I would do it,” he said. “If that does not happen and I continue to self distribute in the way I am, that would be OK as well. The most important aspect is to make my own films that I am passionate about.” More information on Crispin Glover and his projects can be found at crispinglover.com.

Lotus Festival brings music to local streets BY AMELIA CHONG aychong@indiana.edu
Street performer Amir Gray shut his eyes and leaned forward, the honks from his tuba cutting through the cool air, which lay heavy with mist. As bright lights from the Buskirk-Chumley Theater poured onto the middle of Kirkwood Avenue, festival attendees crowded around the street performer. People, music and food filled the 2012 Lotus World Music and Arts Festival on the night of Sept. 21, 2012. Named after the late Lotus Dickey, a singer-songwriter from Orange County, Ind., the annual festival included art and music from cultures around the world. White tents peppered the city center. Attendees created art in the Arts Village as music boomed from the tents and churches serving as concert
» FESTIVAL CONTINUED FROM PAGE D5 $12 on something they don’t even know they like,” said Steve Swihart, executive director of BIRA and director of the festival. “This is to encourage people to try it.” Bloomington was rated fourth on the list of best food towns in the Midwest by Midwest Living Magazine due to its ethnic variety and local ownership. “This town contains food from A to Z, from
venues. Local street performers and the 26 artists brought in this year entertained residents and visitors alike. Malian musician Fatoumata Diawara threw her turbaned head back against soothing waves of acoustic guitar riffs. A smile danced across her lips as the drummer started tapping a rhythm on the hihat behind her. Diawara’s deep, raspy vocals rose and soared at the Buskirk. Every eye rested on her, an explosion of color in her red-and-yellow striped turban and silver bangles. While the performance began at a steady, relaxed pace, Diawara and her band soon had the audience up on its feet and swinging to the beat. Alexandra Buck, a secondyear master’s student, attended the festival with José
Toledo, a first-year Intensive English Program student
from Peru. “We danced the whole

Afghanistan to Zagreb,” Swihart said. “That is really unique for the size of this town.” IUAA Alumni Programs Officer Emili Sperling said the idea for the festival developed after talking with graduating seniors in spring 2011. A common wish was to have taken advantage of more of the restaurants on Fourth Street and experienced Bloomington to the fullest, Sperling said. “We wanted students to
be able to experience all that Bloomington has to offer in a setting where they could do it on a student budget,” Sperling said. WFHB, a community radio station run by volunteers, emceed the festival and introduced the entertainment. The evening began with a performance by music group Jiridon followed by Sudanese and Egyptian music from Otaak Band. Dark Side Tribal dance troupe performed American
Tribal Style belly dance, and the Bernard Woma Ensemble from Ghana performed with African drumming and dance. Costume artists showcased traditional Latin dress. The festival was an opportunity to build community between the restaurants of Fourth Street and encourage students to take advantage of the diversity Bloomington has to offer, Swihart said. Gopinaath Kannabiran, a Ph.D. student from
India, painted henna free of charge. Tips were donated to a local animal shelter. The IU Chinese Calligraphy Club sold traditional Chinese goods and wrote customers’ names in Chinese symbols. Restaurants outside the 400 block of Fourth Street, such as Taste of India and Dat’s, set up tents inside the festival. “We have done Taste of Bloomington, and it worked really well,” Taste of India owner Tiffany Clark
said. “People come in and say they tried us there and have never had Indian food before.” Sperling said the proceeds from food purchases benefitted the restaurants, while the wristband proceeds covered event costs. “I hope for this to be an annual thing,” Sperling said. “I want to make sure my students are able to experience the Bloomington that I fell in love with.”

Jazz festival honors IU great Hoagy Carmichael BY MICHELLE SOKOL mlsokol@indiana.edu
“He had never played in the open air at night, and the thrill it gave him was interpreted into the most uncanny phrases of beautiful notes.” The passage from Hoagy Carmichael’s memoir “Jazzbanders” recounts a time in 1924 Bloomington when local musicians paraded down Third Street past the sororities and fraternities. “Light cut dimly across a weird assortment of enchanted listeners as a cornet carved passages of heat and beauty in the night,” Carmichael wrote of the midnight serenades in “The Stardust Road.” Live jazz performances have found a home in familiar Bloomington venues such as Bear’s Place, Café Django and The Player’s Pub. But none have offered the open air atmosphere of which Carmichael reminisced until local musicians, organizations and sponsors organized the Grant Street Jazz Festival. The festival, which closed Grant Street between Sixth Street and Kirkwood Avenue on Aug. 18, 2012 offered live jazz performances, food vendors and samplings from a local brewery and winery. Local musicians MAYO Jazz, the Paul Kirk and Dave Bruker Duo the Craig Brenner and Joe Donnelly Duo, Monika Herzig Trio feat. Janiece Jaffe, Jazz Fable Quintet, Post Modern Jazz Quintet, Café Cubano and IU jazz faculty were featured at the festival. “This is a great throwback to the 1920s when Hoagy and his friend had jazz parades down Third Street,” said David Brent Johnson, jazz director of WFIU and announcer at the festival. “I think an outdoor jazz festival featuring some of the best

performances in the city is a great way to kick off the school year.” Though Johnson had nothing to do with organizing the event, he was a strong advocate, citing its location and music lineup as factors of its success. “People can hear the music and just wander in,” he said. And many did exactly that. Terry Hood and his wife, Laurie, visited Bloomington from Boston to help move their daughter in for her freshman year. They wandered downtown and were attracted to the sound of the Monika Herzig Trio. “We knew Bloomington was a great town from college visits in the past, but this has reaffirmed our daughter’s choice in school,” Terry said. “We have plenty of jazz festivals around home, but this rivals the bigger ones.” He said his family has visited many festivals, including the Berklee BeanTown and Newport jazz festivals, but none offer such an intimate, charged atmosphere. The Grant Street Jazz Festival was a collaboration between Café Django, Jazz from Bloomington, WFIU, Big Woods Brewery, Oliver Winery and Cassady
Electric. Admission was free and wine, beer and food was available for purchase. Linda Eversoll, an owner of Café Django, said the idea for the event had been forming for more than a year, but planning started just three months ago. “The musicians are always asking me, ‘We should have something nice outside,’” she said. “I started thinking we should have a jazz festival.” With the help of her husband and restaurant coowner Adrian Eversoll, Café Django partnered with local musicians to make the event happen. “I’m amazed it turned out, and I’m just so happy,” Eversoll said, looking out the window of her restaurant to see a band performing and dozens of visitors. “There’s a nice crowd outside, and everyone has a smile on their face. That’s what this is all about.” Though this year’s inaugural festival was planned in just a few months, Adrian said planning for next year’s festival will begin shortly. Many musicians and vendors said they are hopeful it will turn into an annual event.
» MACKLEMORE CONTINUED FROM PAGE D1 point while the crowd chanted “go Wale go Wale go.” Wale’s set ended with an Oladipo chant reminiscent of basketball season, followed by a surprise appearance by Oladipo himself, along with fellow Hoosier Christian Watford. Macklemore opened his set at 10 p.m. with “Ten Thousand Hours.” Dressed in a fur vest and skinny jeans, Macklemore greeted the audience by saying, “Hoosiers, welcome to the Heist.” Macklemore shed his jacket to reveal a No. 40 Cody Zeller jersey and stated his excitement about being at IU. “This is one show that I’ve been particularly excited for,” he said. Before his gay-rights anthem “Same Love,”

Macklemore declared his support for the cause. “I don’t know what you believe,” he said. “But I believe in equality.” Freshman Caela Reis said she was looking forward to the big night, her first Little 500 concert as an IU student.
“I’ve been listening to his album all year, and I’ve heard he puts on really good shows,” Reis said. “I’m not often a huge rap fan, but his lyrics and the music are incredibly catchy, and he actually has some pretty meaningful songs.”
