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.

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.

From front to back, we had great team defense.” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said Soffner provided the team with calm and confidence. He also kept the Hoyas off the scoreboard in the first half
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

Judy Cash is a woman in her seventies whose height barely clears 5 feet. As soon as people meet her, they know she’s the one who gave Keith his noticeably short stature. 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.” * * *
