Tiny dorm, big idea A summer’s worth of binge watching NPR’s Tiny Desk inspired a student to create

By Hannah Reed arts@idsnews.com | @Hannahreed13

In the midst of Bloomington’s sticky, booze-soaked venue floors, sweat-filled crowds and concert tickets sits a cozy room in a residence hall, packed with equipment and video cameras.

The small room may feel just as crowded as a concert would — though when the concert is released online for all to see, like NPR’s Tiny Desk, it can be streamed from the comfort of a sofa or a bed in an apartment across town.

Sophomore Natalia Almanza, the aesthetics director of Tiny Dorm, came up with the idea to bring Tiny Desk to IU in a different style — a dorm room. She said she binge-watched Tiny Desk over the summer and decided that moving

the event into her room in Briscoe Quad would prove to be something interesting on campus.

“I was like ‘Oh, this would be really fun to do in a dorm room,’” Almanza said. “Initially we were thinking we could bring people in to watch concerts in a dorm, and then we were like ‘oh, duh, we can do so much more with this.’”

She said she texted sophomore Eric Ashby, the booking director of Tiny Dorm who she knew from living together in the Civic Leaders LLC in Briscoe Quad, and he was all in.

Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana, announces April 14 in South Bend, Indiana, that he is officially running for president of the United States. “It’s not about winning an election,” Buttigieg said. “It’s about winning an era.”

Buttigieg officially enters 2020 presidential race

By Emily Isaacman eisaacma@iu.edu | @emilyisaacman

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg officially announced he is running for president of the United States on Sunday to a hometown crowd waving small American flags, chanting “Pete,” and sounding out “Boot edge edge.”

About 4,500 people cheered as rain fell through the ceiling of the Studebaker Building 84, a retired manufacturing building revitalized as a technology hub representing South Bend’s revival since Buttigieg took office in 2012.

“This city’s story is such a big part of why I’m doing this,” he told the crowd.

Buttigieg’s announcement makes him the eighteenth Democrat to enter the 2020 race, which is one of the largest and most diverse fields in modern political history.

If elected, the 37 year old would be the youngest and first openly gay president.

His speech drew from personal experience to emphasize how decisions in Washington affect individuals: Medicaid helped his father when he was in the hospital and a single Supreme Court vote allowed his marriage to exist.

Buttigieg said three principles will guide his campaign: freedom, security and democracy.

“Simple enough to fit on a bumper sticker,” he said.

Regarding freedom, he spoke about racial justice, empowering teachers, women’s equality, organized labor and living life as one chooses.

“Take it from Chasten and me,” he said, gesturing to his husband in the audience who has been a promSEE BUTTIGIEG, PAGE 9

If you’re walking on campus, there’s a chance you’re walking over a complex underground tunnel system that most people at IU will never see.

The tunnels were created for utility purposes, and there are now 618,000 cubic feet of utility tunnels running underneath campus.

The tunnels are physically unsafe for would-be wanderers, said now-retired IU Physical Plant engineer Jeff Kaden in a 2007 Indiana Daily Student article.

“These tunnels are extremely dangerous and are in no ways meant for pedestrian use,” he said.

“It’s extremely hot, and the air is full of asbestos. There are sharp corners of piping and support.

There are some places where the piping isn’t even covered, and you could easily get burns or other injuries.”

The tunnels carry resources such as electricity and chilled water for air conditioning throughout campus. Most of the tunnels underground are used for steam to travel from heating plants to oncampus buildings, with 75 percent of IU’s academic buildings heated through the Central Heating Plant on North Walnut Grove Street, according to the IU Energy Management and Utilities website.

It’s hot in the tunnels, too. Because of the steam, some areas

can reach temperatures of 286 degrees.

“It scares me, and I go down there as little as possible,” Kaden said in the 2007 article.

If you’ve ever seen a manhole billowing smoke on campus, you can thank the tunnels, according to Mark Menefee, assistant director of utility services at IU Facility Operations.

When it rains, water percolates and collects at limestone, which doesn’t let water go through it. The water flows underground until it enters a steam tunnel, and the extreme heat turns it into the steam that billows from manholes.

Videos of the tunnels online show a low, curved ceiling and graffiti on the walls. There’s no light in the tunnels, save for the flashlights of those heading into them or the occasional drainpipe letting in light from the campus above.

At points, the tunnels become narrower and more difficult to move through, and turning a corner means walking into pure darkness. There’s water in sections of the tunnel as well, at times coming up to knee height.

There are legends in the tunnels, of course.

The ghost of a circus elephant who died during an accident and mysteriously disappeared is said to haunt the tunnels, as well as the spirit of a vengeful girl in a yellow nightgown who was murdered by her boyfriend, the 2007 article states.

IU men’s swim and dive won its 27th Big Ten championship in program history.

This marks the first Big Ten three-peat since 1983-85, as well as the first time IU has ever won both the men’s and women’s Big Ten swim and dive championships in the same year.

“To see both genders do well is just a real blessing and real humbling,” Swim Coach Ray Looze said.

“It’s such a competitive conference and it’s not something I take lightly.”

IU was led by senior Vini Lanza and senior James Connor. Lanza earned his third Swimmer of the Championships award, the only man in Big Ten history to do so.

Connor earned the Diver of the Championships honors and contributed to IU’s 13 first place finishes throughout the meet.

Racist trustee’s name removed

By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @sarahverschoor

The tangled legacies of two men who shaped IU’s history collide in one campus gymnasium.

Legendary basketball player Bill Garrett set records for scoring and rebounding in the Fieldhouse. Under that same roof, he also broke the Big Ten’s color barrier that barred black players.

At the same time that the 6-foot-2 center was transforming IU and Big Ten basketball, another campus figure, trustee Ora Wildermuth, wanted to stop integration.

“I am and shall always remain absolutely and utterly opposed to social intermingling of the colored race with the white,” Wildermuth wrote in a letter in 1945. “I belong to the white race and shall remain loyal to it. It always has been the dominant and leading race.”

Garrett was honored as an AllAmerican his senior year. At his final game with a crowd of 10,000 fans, he received a standing ovation.

Twenty years later, the Fieldhouse was renamed. It was named not for the trailblazing player that integrated its courts, but for the white trustee who wanted to block progress — Ora L. Wildermuth Intramural Center.

IU has long grappled with how to untangle the mistake. The Board of Trustees voted in October to strip the building of Wildermuth’s name, shortening it to the Intramural Center.

This week, IU’s men’s and women’s basketball teams will take to the court in special uniforms to honor the 70th anniversary of Garrett’s historic start at IU. The men’s shooting shirts will feature his silhouette.

But some of Garrett’s supporters say more can be done.

The old Fieldhouse, they say, ought to bear his name.

BFC discusses attendance policies, voting

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, center, walks with Liz Watson, center right, down Indiana Avenue to lead a group of people to a voting center in Bloomington on Oct. 19 after Sanders and Watson spoke at a rally at Dunn Meadow.

Bernie Sanders stumps for Watson in Dunn Meadow

By Emily Isaacman and Jesse Naranjo news@idsnews.com

Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator and 2016 presidential candidate, told a crowd late Friday morning in Dunn Meadow that if half the voting-age population turned out by the end of Election Day, the same crowd was looking at their next member of Congress.

That person, if Sanders predictions play out, is Liz Watson. The Bloomington lawyer and former labor policy director for a U.S. House Democratic committee is running to unseat incumbent Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, R-9th District.

About 3,000 people turned out to the early vote rally in Dunn Meadow, according to an estimate by IU spokesman Chuck Carney and the University’s event management staff. This was the first of a number of stops Sanders is making on a nine state tour. The speakers included Watson campaign student organizers, Indiana AFL-CIO

President Brett Voorhies and Nina Turner, president of Our Revolution — the organization that spun off from Sanders’s 2016 run.

“What my Republican colleagues want is for people not to vote,” Sanders said, highlighting low voter turnout in recent elections.

All speakers on the stage Friday morning — Watson and Sanders included — talked about health care, labor rights and student debt. If Watson’s elected to Congress, Sanders said, they will work toward legislation eliminating tuition for public colleges and universities.

The last time Sanders spoke on campus, days before winning the 2016 Indiana Democratic primary, the IU Auditorium was stretched to capacity and the then-candidate spoke to an overflow crowd by Showalter Fountain.

Junior Forrest Gatrell, a volunteer for Watson’s campaign, said Sanders’s name recognition was beneficial to the campaign.

“If everyone said we’re having a rally with any other

senator here, I don’t think we would have gotten as big of a crowd,” Gatrell said.

Polling and analysis website FiveThirtyEight has the 9th District race marked as “Likely R,” and indicates she has about a one-in-four chance of winning the election. Some of Watson’s volunteers said they thought the Vermont senator’s name recognition helped garner support for the House candidate.

In recent months, news reports have indicated Sanders is still considering a run for president in 2020. Despite this uncertainty, vendors lined up around the rally area selling “Bernie 2020” shirts, hats and buttons.

Former vice president Joe Biden, who spoke in Hammond, Indiana, in support of Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly’s reelection a week ago, has also been speculated to be considering a run, though he said last week he wasn’t planning on it so far. Outside the Hammond rally, vendors also sold 2020 campaign gear for a potential Biden candidacy.

After the rally in Dunn Meadow, Sanders led a mass of students and area residents marching to the early voting location.

Freshman Ameena Sohail marched with the crowd to the polls, but she’s going to wait until Election Day to vote.

“There’s something special about, for me, voting on Election Day,” Sohail said.

She has a countdown until Nov. 6 at home in her calendar. But she wanted to join the crowd Friday because she values being part of the political spirit.

Bloomington High School North seniors Anne Sattler and Abby Presson-Wallace waited in line at the early voting location.

Presson-Wallace turns 18 two days after the election, but she said she wanted to be proactive in educating herself and participating in politics.

“I still want to become informed as to who my future congressmen and women, and who my senators are going to be,” Presson-Wallace said.

Budget IU-Bloomington’s instate tuition has grown by 0.8 percent in the past five years, while Purdue University-West Lafayette remained constant.

Over 16 years, state appropriations increased approximately $75 million. Student fee revenue increased over $750 million.

Indiana high school graduations are anticipated to decline by 11 percent by 2031.

Bob Kravchuk, co-chair of the University Faculty Council Budgetary Committee, said the best scenario for responding to the effects of this would include getting students to stay and go on to graduate programs at IU, finding ways to keep attracting students and help students to not drop out.

Student Affairs Committee and IU Health Center on medical forms and attendance policies Some professors require students provide proof from the IU Health Center of medical visits if the student misses class. The IU Health Center is looking to limit that practice.

Health Director Beth Rupp said she feels the current forms cannot verify if the student was actually sick or if they just came to the health center so they could get an excuse for missing a class.

Also, visits to the health center cost at least $45 and some students cannot afford that.

The Dean of Students Office will continue to help when students have an extended illness absence or family matters. Steve Sanders, Student Affairs Committee chair, said the change will mean students and facility

will need to have more faceto-face interactions when absences occur. Though the BFC does not have formal power over the decision, Rupp said she was open to suggestions because the health center has not made a decision yet.

Sanders said he wanted this policy change to open a broader discussion of IU attendance policies.

Maggie Hopkins, IU Student Government vice president of administration, said she thinks the best attendance policy is one that mirrors many work policies by allowing a certain number of free absences, but once the free absences are used students will have to deal with the consequences.

IUSG IUSG reported they helped 550 students register to vote and hung 7,100 posters to inform students about various services students can get on campus.

They also are planning an international fashion show and do a helmet giveaway because of the Bird and Lime scooters.

Voting rights of full-time non-tenure track faculty The council recommended a plan for how non-tenure track faculty should be able to vote on administrative issues.

The council cannot force schools to either allow or disallow these faculty members to vote, but a 2002 resolution by the council encouraged schools to allow it.

A new resolution presented Tuesday recommended schools allow nontenure track staff to vote in campus, school and department-level decisions. It also recommended tenured faculty have at least 60 percent of voting power in certain decisions and directed leaders to report non-tenure track faculty voting rights and participation in their respective schools at least once every three years.

After running out of time, the council postponed a vote on it.

Students have mixed feelings about SPEA name change

By Christine Stephenson cistephe@iu.edu | @cistephenson23

IU’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs changed its name to honor former secretary of the U.S. Treasury Paul H. O’Neill, an IU alumnus, after a $30 million gift to the school.

What was known to students as SPEA was officially renamed March 4. The Board of Trustees approved the change Dec. 7, 2018.

Students were notified of the change the day it was made. The decision has received mixed reactions from both students and faculty of the school.

Graduate student Erik Ehrman, who also studied in the school as an undergraduate, said he wished there would have been more communication from administration before the change was made.

“If we’re changing the name, there should have been more of a celebration,” he said.

Senior Olivia Little, a law and public policy major, said she feels betrayed by the name change.

“It actively devalues the worth of my degree,” she said. “A name means something, and I think they gave us a bad name.”

Little said she is upset because the change was made without the input of any students. Several faculty members she said she has spoken with said they did not know about the change until it was already done.

Additionally, Little recalled O’Neill was previously the CEO of Alcoa, a mining corporation. An article from the Center for Public Integrity referred to Alcoa as a “super polluter.”

Little said she finds it odd that O’Neill represents a school that prides itself on public and environmental affairs.

“It’s wild that we take

pride in this man,” she said.

O’Neill, who received his master of public administration from IU in 1966, has donated money to the school before.

He contributed $3 million to help build the school’s graduate center, which opened in 2017 and is also named after him.

“My hope is that the school remains a place of excellence where future leaders can combine passion with action and develop the confidence they need to engage with society’s greatest challenges and opportunities,” O’Neill said in the press release announc-

ing the change.

His most recent donation will be used to start the Center on Leadership in Public Service, as well as several other smaller projects and opportunities for student scholarships, said James Boyd, director of marketing and communications for the O’Neill school.

“Thirty million dollars is a lot and will go a long way,” Boyd said. “It signals a new direction for the school.”

Claire Dorner, a junior studying environmental management, said it felt like a slap in the face when she found out about the name change.

She is disappointed the name was changed after a large donation, she said.

“Does the name of our school just go to the higher bidder?” she said. “It just seems sketchy.”

Little thinks students should get a say when these name changes are being considered, she said, because they have the most at stake.

“At the end of the day, it’s our degrees being affected,” she said. “Students have power, and they underestimate how much power they have. As soon as students realize that, the administration will be in trouble.”

IU has a lot of trees, not just to look pretty

By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang

Within the next month, IU’s trees will be ablaze with color. Earthy greens will transform into flaming reds and yellows, and the crunch of leaves will be heard underfoot.

Students will whip out phone cameras and eyes will be drawn toward the sky on walks to class as the more than 12,000 trees on campus become IU’s centerpiece. The thousands of trees at IU not only help the environment but may also have an effect on students’ academic success.

These campus trees are often taken for granted, University Landscape Architect Mia Williams said.

Williams knows the campus trees well. She said the large number of sugar maples on campus are one of the reasons it’s so colorful in the fall.

“It’s everything from yellow all the way through to a deep red in combination,” Williams said. “They look like they’re on fire.”

Williams’s eyes are always on the trees. It’s her job, but it’s also a passion and one she takes seriously as one of the main caretakers of IU’s trees. She sees their triumphs and struggles and believes them to be an integral part of both the natural and academic worlds.

Standing outside Lindley Hall on Friday, Williams motioned to Dunn’s Woods. She often compares the trees to people.

PHOTOS BY SAM HOUSE | IDS

TOP University Landscape Architect Mia Williams explains the difficulties some sugar maples on campus face Sept. 28 near the Indiana Memorial Union. Because of protruding roots, sugar maples struggle with lawn mowers and pedestrians.

ABOVE The leaves of a sugar maple hang from their branch Sept. 28 in Dunn’s Woods. Sugar maples are some of the most common trees on campus.

“These guys in here have brothers and sisters kind of sharing the burden,” Williams said.

Campus trees not in Dunn’s Woods or other densely wooded areas are more susceptible to root damage and are more exposed to storms.

Trees face challenges such as storms, pests, disease and drought, but they also face less obvious difficulties.

“It’s a hard place to live — a campus — for a tree,” Williams said. ”You’ve got people walking on their roots all the time. You’ve got mowers mowing grass around them all the time.”

Williams said the campus’s maple trees are under the most stress. She said

she’s not sure the warming climate is a contributing factor, but the droughts of 2012 and 2013 still have visible lingering effects on the maples that indicate struggle.

With constant construction on campus, Williams said she tries her hardest to protect the trees and be selective about what gets cut down. Every year 200 to 300 new trees are planted on campus and up to 500 in a good year, Williams said.

Kristy Anderson, intern of Environmental Quality and Land Use in the Office of Sustainability said she’s visited urban campuses and thought about the lack of trees and its effect on the feel of the campus.

“I think I take it for granted from time to time until I don’t have it,” Anderson said.

“I think we’re really lucky to have this woodland campus that we do.”

Anderson’s Environmental Quality and Land Use working group, comprised of students, faculty and staff, is currently working on their Strategic Landscape Plan which includes plans for pest and invasive species management, sustainable landscaping practices and how to encourage more people to interact with the outdoors on campus.

Suggestions from this plan could have a tangible effect on how students experience the outdoors.

“It’s really neat because we get to work with people in leadership positions on campus who can most effectively make change,” Anderson said.

Anderson said she appreciates the trees for their beauty but also the quantifiable values they offer to the ecosystem and peoples’ wallets.

One of the previous interns gathered data to determine the quantifiable value of trees on IU’s campus.

Anderson said the intern looked at how much carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees, how much the quality of the air was improved by trees’ presence, how much water was retained and erosion prevented from tree roots and how much energy and money was saved by shaded buildings.

“Our trees are such a wonderful resource for our physical health, our mental health and financially,” Anderson said. “They’re pretty great.”

However, Williams said because many of these benefits are not obvious, sometimes trees are not valued as they should be.

“Nobody sees dollars flowing in and out of a tree so it’s very hard for people to go, ‘oh that’s worth something’,” Williams said.

Williams said research is also showing a direct correlation between being in nature and increased academic performance.

Attention Restoration Theory, or ART, is a theory that asserts the benefits of being in natural spaces for mental and

physical health. Improved academic performance has only recently been added to proven benefits of being in nature.

“It is striving to prove that experiences in natural settings helps us to reset our brains from all the constant phone and laptop use,” Williams said.

Spending even 15 or 20 minutes in nature can help students retain information better, according to research published in the Planning for Higher Education journal.

As a university landscape architect, Williams said she is very excited this theory is finally being solidified.

“I’m wildly interested in this because all of a sudden, my world of creating naturally beautiful spaces and shaping the land now collides with the academic mission of the University, and all of a sudden this is a big asset,” Williams said. “This is something we can cultivate and grow to further accentuate what Indiana University can provide a student.”

One of Williams most serious tasks as the University landscape architect is to ensure the generations to come have giant trees to walk among as well.

Williams said she thinks humans understand, subconsciously, that big trees mean that a place has stability and permanence.

“I think that makes us go, ‘OK, I can have free thought, I can explore, and I know I’m going to be OK,’” Williams said.

Protestors march for Shatter the Silence rally

kedquist@iu.edu | @kaitlinedquist

In the sea of people marching down Third Street, one woman’s sign stood out. A plastic pink lei was wrapped around the wooden stick that held it.

“So glad my sister doesn’t go here,” it read.

This was just one of many posters at the Shatter the Silence march and rally, a protest to raise awareness for sexual violence on IU’s campus and to demand action from the University.

The crowd of around 100 people wore white T-shirts with teal ribbons printed on them, the symbol for sexual assault awareness, and the words “Shatter the Silence” written in script.

The group marched about a mile and a half chanting “No more violence, shatter the silence” and “Me too, IU. Shame on you, IU.” Once they arrived at Dunn Meadow, Ellie Johnson, one of the two organizers of the event, spoke along with the IUSA chief of staff and two survivors.

“It’s unfortunate we have to beg for our rights, but here we are,” Johnson said to the crowd.

IU spokesman Chuck Carney said the University appreciates students’ attention to these matters and support their efforts to speak out.

“We stand behind our processes which are fair, thorough, and equitable for all students,” Carney said.

“In orientation, later on arrival to campus and again in their first year, IU students participate in programming that addresses sexual assault education. IU will continue to lead in educating all students on matters of sexual assault prevention.”

Johnson, a survivor, went viral in June after calling out

Students participating in the Shatter the SIlence march and rally walk past a corner of the IU campus holding a sign that reads, “Shatter the Silence.”

IU’s sexual violence policies on Twitter. The post gained over 2,000 retweets and 5,000 likes and prompted a response from the University.

Some social media posts also featured Johnson naming the panelists involved with her case and their contact and personal information. On July 10, Johnson posted on Twitter she filed a Title IX complaint with the Office of Civil Rights, a subagency of the U.S. Department of Education.

At the rally, Celeste Coughlin, another organizer, read from a letter written by the organizers calling for IU to publicly recognize sexual violence as an issue at the University, explain how they will hold sexual predators accountable, meet the needs of survivors and issue a statement of support and commitment to survivors.

“We deserve a system that handles sexual violence as seriously as it handles plagiarism,” Coughlin read from the letter.

They intend to turn the letter in Monday, Johnson said, and encouraged peo-

ple to sign it at the rally.

IUSA Chief of Staff Isabel Mishkin said her administration wants to learn more about sexual violence on IU’s campus and make sure the University is truly supporting survivors. She wants students to have a seat at the table when IU handles this issue.

“The best decisions that happen at IU are the ones that include students,” Mishkin said.

IUSA’s President Alex Wisniewski participated in the rally, too, holding a sign that read “Shatter the Silence.”

The next speaker, junior Hannah Patton, talked about a loophole in IU’s investigations. Her alleged attacker transferred schools during his investigation. He faced no consequences and is a member of a fraternity at a different school, she said.

“He has the opportunity to do it to someone else,” Patton said.

The other survivor, Xakilah Daniel, experienced domestic violence and said she used to blame herself for letting it happen.

“I’m no longer a girl that

watches her tone or covers her bruises,” Daniel said.

She encouraged the crowd to not let sexual violence define them.

About 15 men showed up to march, and one of them, freshman Leo Banks, said the gender disparity showed a wider cultural problem.

“It’s kinda scary that so many more women are here than men,” he said. “There should be more of us.”

Despite all of the support on Saturday, Johnson’s initial tweet wasn’t intended to culminate in a rally.

“As I started getting messages after going public and hearing stories about the IU system, I realized these are not isolated instances,” Johnson said.

Soon she realized her tweet could turn into a movement.

Coughlin, a law and public policy major who handled the logistics of the event, was inspired to get involved because of her interest in grassroots activism.

The LGBTQ+ Center started a mentoring program in 2018 as a way for LGBTQ students at IU to help incoming LGBTQ freshmen navigate their first semester of school.

Senior Noah Shore came up with the concept in fall 2017. He said he wanted to give new students a way to get involved on campus and learn about resources at the LGBTQ+ Culture Center without them having to make the first move.

“I know that when I was a freshman I could have really benefited from having that type of program,” he said. “And I was surprised the university didn’t currently offer it.”

Shore said the program aims to ease both student and guardian concerns about entering college and to provide a community for LGBTQ students.

“We can kind of serve as their home away from home,” he said.

In addition to offering information on resources, Shore said the program also just gives incoming freshmen someone to talk about their thoughts and feelings with.

LGBTQ+ Culture Center Director Doug Bauder said a similar program once existed within the center, but it didn’t specifically target incoming students like this one does.

“Coming to a university is daunting enough,” he said. “But I think for people who identify as queer, even though they might know that IU has a good reputation of being queerfriendly, it’s still a little difficult to find their way around.”

IU junior Drew Fox mentored freshman Linh Dang.

They met up, got food together and attended a few comedy shows on campus throughout the semester.

The program also helped organize group events like ice skating.

Fox said the more he was willing to open up as a mentor, the more Dang was willing to open up as his mentee.

“The relationship goes both ways,” Fox said. “Of course my mentee is learning from me, but I’m also learning from her at the same time.”

Fox said his relationship with Dang started as a mentor-mentee pairing where he helped her get involved and has graduated into more of a peerto-peer friendship.

The program is accepted applications for mentors now until March 31, and applications for mentees will be accepted at a later date.

Shore will graduate this year but will remain a part of the program, which he called his “baby.”

“A lot of things nowadays with the LGBTQ community are stepping stones to get to where we really want to be,” Fox said. “A lot of students need help finding even one person to get their foot in the door and meet somebody who’s part of that community and can help them.”

Members of IU Dance Marathon reveal the total amount it raised for Riley Hospital for Children on Nov. 4 in the IU Tennis Center. The total amount raised was $4,187,051.23.

IUDM 2018 raises more than $4 million

By Joey Bowling, Alex Hardgrave, Sydney Tomlinson news@idsnews.com

IU Dance Marathon raised $4,187,051.23 during its 28th dance marathon.

Participants danced for 36 hours from Friday night to Sunday morning while raising money for the Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health in Indianapolis.

The marathon featured families telling the stories of their children who have been treated at Riley Hospital for Children, live music, line dances and the dancers’ rallying cry “FTK” or “For the kids,” yelled throughout the event. Here’s a look at the dance marathon’s 36 hours.

Hour 0 IU Dance Marathon started off with dancers jumping around, bristling with energy and eager to dance. Shirts of all colors emblazoned with the letters IUDM fluttered around the room.

The participants have been raising money for months, through text messages, social media campaigns and door-to-door fundraising. Funds go to Riley Hospital for Children and

Wells Center for Pediatric Research.

IUDM was started in 1991 by alumna Jill Stewart to honor her friend Ryan White.

After White contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion, he became an AIDS activist. He died four and a half months before he could come to IU to start his freshman year.

Since starting the organization 27 years ago, IUDM has become one of the largest student-run philanthropies in the nation.

Hour 16 A dozen dancers stood in a circle, their shoes lying in the center, as they clapped, chanted and danced.

“Don’t Stop Believing” blared, making it almost impossible to hear anything else. Hundreds of students in T-shirts, tutus and superhero capes sang along.

Three families, each with a child treated at Riley Hospital for Children, walked onto the stage as the music softened and dancers crowded around.

Alexis Mata told the story of her son, Adrian Mata.

When Alexis Mata was pregnant, her fetus was growing too slowly and doctors told

her it would be a miracle if she made it to 27 weeks of pregnancy. She was induced at 39 weeks and gave birth to a three-and-a-half pound baby boy after 40.5 hours of labor.

Adrian Mata had a heart condition and stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Doctors told Alexis Mata her son would need an openheart surgery soon or he would die, but no one wanted to perform the surgery because they believed the boy’s quality of life would be very poor if he lived, she said.

They thought he would never be able to walk, talk or feed himself.

At six-and-a-half weeks old, Adrian Mata was moved from the NICU to hospice care, where he was expected to die within days. He stayed in hospice for a few months, where doctors eventually diagnosed him with primordial dwarfism.

Finally, Riley Hospital for Children agreed to perform Adrian Mata’s open-heart surgery. Now he’s 4 years old and hasn’t stayed in a hospital since.

Dancers snapped, cheered and cried as the Matas and other Riley families

told their stories.

In 30 minutes, dancers raised another $14,000.

19 hours to go.

Hours 28 to 30 As the hours trudged on, students who danced for 36 hours faced the second night of no sleep.

Some stood around, eyes glazed over with dark circles under their eyes while others were still dancing and screaming.

At midnight, student Jack Duffy ran onto the main stage, full of excitement and energy, ready to teach one of the groups a line dance.

Some dancers even practiced the dance while taking their break to eat pizza.

“We’ve been learning the line dance over and over again,” freshman Rae Nourie said. “We really want to nail it.”

In one corner, an inflatable jail was set up. Inside were a few dancers, vigorously typing on their phones trying to get donations.

Standing around it were students wearing cop hats.

Kat Riddell, member of the entertainment committee, said when dancers get a donation, they can choose

waiting to be imagined

to arrest other dancers. That dancer has to stay in the jail until they raise enough money to match that donation amount.

As the clock moved back and 1 a.m. started for a second time because of daylight saving time, students hardly seemed phased by the extra hour they would spend on their feet.

At 1:20 a.m., it was time for the rave.

As the overhead lights flicked off, the room was lit only by glow sticks.

Even though many students’ voices were raw from talking over the music the whole weekend, they screamed as the DJ and entertainment crew stormed the stage.

“We could do this all night,” the crowd echoed to the Icona pop song “All Night.”

And they did.

Hour 36 The dancers waited expectantly, shifting around and trying to keep their energy after dancing for more than 35 hours.

Alumni slowly filtered in, branded with shirts of past dance marathons with slo-

gans from as early as 1991.

The shirts from 1991, the inaugural year, read “Celebrate life. Dance. Hope.”

Dancers gathered in a circle, holding onto each other’s hands, shoulders and waists.

The building could barely fit the more than 1,400 dancers in the room. The participants swayed back and forth as “Angels Among Us,” by Alabama, played.

Dancers chattered and looked toward the stage, waiting for the total to be revealed. The accounting committee filled the stage with numbers scrawled on poster boards. FTK, or For the Kids, was shouted across the room.

IUDM raised $4,187,051.23 during its 27th dance marathon, a long way from the $10,900 the organization raised in 1991. The final total is about $16,200 less than last year.

The total was announced and, the room erupted with noise. Screams and cheers of joy echoed inside the building as dancers celebrated.

As the marathon came to an end, people continued to shout “For the Kids” as a rallying cry while dancers jumped in misshapen circles.

IUB nursing school has two firsts this year

Senior Mark Casanova is the first Latino male nurse to graduate from the IU-Bloomington School of Nursing.

Mark Casanova will be the first Latino male to graduate

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

IU senior Mark Casanova said he would never forget when he realized the meaning of being a nurse.

He was in nursing school, observing a cesarean section during his junior year.

He saw the doctor remove not one, but two babies from the mother that day, and it opened his eyes to the effect he could have on patients and the world. Casanova said he remembered the mother’s ecstatic face while holding her twin girls.

He decided to start in a medical-surgical unit after graduation.

IU-Bloomington’s first Latino male nurse, Casanova will graduate in May from the School of Nursing. He’s glad he’ll be able to serve as an example for other students of color, he said.

Casanova said nursing attracted him because it allowed him to get to know people as well as gain medical knowledge.

Ever since he was a kid

he wanted to do something medical, but Casanova said he wanted to be a nurse since his sophomore year of high school. Working in hospitals, which is part of nursing school, has only strengthened his desire to become one.

Helping patients in hospice care showed him what he called the hard part of nursing, Casanova said. His patients were going to die, and he knew that. All he could do was make them comfortable.

“All I could do is provide palliative care and sit next to them and hold their hand,” he said. “The littlest action I can do to provide them any type of comfort or assistance, it goes a long way.”

Maricela Casanova, Mark’s mother, said she is proud of him, both because of how responsible he is and how studious he was.

“He is an example for all of our kids, for his sister and for me as his mother,” Maricela Casanova said. “He has always achieved what he wants to do.”

She said she doesn’t have a single favorite memory of him. Instead, any time she spends with him becomes her favorite because of how special he makes her feel.

“He is the kind of person that has always made me feel very important and proud,” Maricela Casanova said.

Casanova said being the first Latino male nurse to graduate from the IU School of Nursing is a story he will share with his kids.

“I’ll be able to tell them that their dad was able to accomplish this,” Mark Casanova said.

Her son has always been sensitive and cared for his friends and family, so him becoming a nurse isn’t surprising to her, Maricela Casanova said.

“He has a huge heart,” Maricela Casanova said.

Mark Casanova said he hopes his story will help inspire other people of color to not let anything stop their dreams.

Senior Larry Wilson is the first black male nurse to graduate from IU-Bloomington School of Nursing.

Larry Wilson will be the first black male to graduate

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

Davisha Fredericks said when her son was 5, he told her he was going to college.

“He said he wanted to be something that was needed in the world,” Fredericks said.

This May, senior Larry Wilson will be the first black male to graduate from IU Bloomington’s School of Nursing in its 105-year history.

Fredericks said she knew when her son told her he was going to be a nurse, he was going to do it.

Her son was always an inquisitive child and his curiosity was one of his best qualities, along with his big heart, she said.

“I believe Larry became a nurse because he wants to save lives,” Fredericks said.

“He wants to help people.”

Wilson decided to go into nursing because he said he feels people have a responsibility to make the world better.

Being a nurse means be-

ing a safeguard and being the first person a patient sees, Wilson said.

Early on in nursing school, he said he struggled with putting in an IV. Wilson said he felt like a failure.

He ended up creating a rap about inserting IVs and after practicing Wilson learned how to insert one.

“It reaffirmed my ability to always keep going, and if you don’t know something, to close that gap,” Wilson said.

Being the first black male to graduate from IU Bloomington School of Nursing is an accomplishment, but him being the first is sad, Wilson said.

He said he thinks IUBloomington needs to be more diverse.

“If you don’t have people around you who looks like you, you don’t feel 100% comfortable,” he said.

When he graduates, Wilson said he wants to move to Chicago to work in an emergency room and

eventually return to school to become a certified registered nurse anesthetist.

Nichelle Whitney, former staff member in the School of Nursing who now works in admissions, said she helped him with résumés and cover letters.

She said they were a bit disappointed to learn he would be the first black male from IU Bloomington’s School of Nursing after all this time but still celebrated a step in the right direction.

“As we prepare practitioners, we need to have a diverse workforce,” she said.

She said recruitment needs to be more focused on diversity, and Wilson graduating will help other men feel more comfortable in the field.

There needs to be more focus on pre-college programs and pushing back against stereotypes.

“We have to destigmatize this idea that men don’t go into nursing,” Whitney said. “There’s a space for them in this career.”

IU employees to reconstruct ancient sloth using fossils

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

At 10 to 12 feet standing up and with sharp claws to dig up plants, the sloth informally called Megajeff is making a comeback at least 10,000 years after extinction.

The IU Megalonyx jeffersonii fossil was one they got rid of in what officials called “the great house cleaning.” Only five bones were salvaged.

Now, the IU Indiana Geological and Water Survey is recreating the two-toed sloth’s relative.

IU threw out many of its fossil collections to make room for students after a spike in enrollment in the 1940s, Polly Root Sturgeon, Indiana Geological and Water Survey outreach coordinator said.

“One of the goals of our project is to make sure that we take better care of our collections,” Sturgeon said.

It’s considered to be the most complete fossil of the species even today, Sturgeon said. The paleontologist who named Megajeff did so to honor Thomas Jefferson, who discovered the genus, IGWS assistant director for information services Gary Motz said.

The reconstruction process started earlier this year, according to an IU press release.

Motz said the five original pieces of Megajeff will be 3Dprinted to create copies of the bones so the public can more easily interact with them and not break them.

The other missing parts will be filled in by collections from other universities and museums, Motz said. By scanning the fossils and creating digital renderings, they can be printed out and cut using laser cutters. Finally, the entire fossil will be assembled using cardboard cutouts by pairing with the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design.

Motz said the digital ren-

Gary Motz describes how he is creating 3D models of Megalonyx jeffersonii April 17 in the Indiana Geological and Water Survey. Motz and his colleague Polly Root Sturgeon want to both 3D print and use cardboard to recreate the skeletons.

derings will be published with additional information,and people can magnify the bone images. One such detail is a handwritten IU property tag etched into one of the bones.

Motz said IU is pioneering these reconstruction and fabrication techniques, using computerized processes and laser cutters to create the cutout.

“We’re pushing the envelope in a different sector for that blending of arts and sciences, especially in digital fabrication,” he said.

Motz said he wants the Megajeff recreation to look jarring, in order to drive home the fact that IU used to have the fossils. He said he wants the public to question why we don’t still have it.

Sturgeon said David Dale Owen, Indiana’s first geologist, was told about the Megajeff fossil by a group of schoolboys and later added it to his collection in the 1800s. When Owen died, it was sold to IU in the late 19th century.

Despite its importance to paleontology, the fossils were

discarded sometime during the 1940s, Sturgeon said. One alumni letter said the bones were thrown out a secondstory window of Owen Hall, she said.

“The less you take care of your collections, the less importance they have,” Sturgeon said. “Part of our project is to make sure that never happens again.”

Sturgeon said five bones were salvaged from that cleanup and later placed in the Mathers Museum of World Cultures. However, as the museum expanded and focused more on culture, it gave away the bones to the Indiana State Museum, where they reside today.

Motz said the species not only represents a history of the state but also the country.

Motz said there was a record which talked about how the Megajeff almost didn’t come back to IU. A Philadelphia scientist asked to see the fossil and upon examining it told Owens the specimen wouldn’t be given back. Owens wrote back in a strongly

worded letter that he would be in Philadelphia in two weeks to collect it. And he would bring it back.

IU professor and paleontologist David Polly said the preservation of fossils is extremely important because they are the only direct evidence of past life. He said chemists can recreate experiments to test theories, but paleontologists only have one source to determine information: the fossil itself.

“The story of the history of life really does belong to all of us,” Polly said. “Specimens like this particular one, like I said, are part of the history of the state.”

Polly said IU and Indiana in general have been extremely important in the exploration and furthering the studies of geology and paleontology.

Other important fossils have been found in the state as well. The first fossil of a Dire wolf, a creature made popular

by TV shows such as “Game of Thrones,” was found in Evansville, Indiana, in 1854, Polly said in an IGWS article.

the Thomas Hart Benton mural in Woodburn Hall 100 also speaks to how symbolic representation of the past can sour the present.

The mural titled “Parks, the Circus, the Klan, the Press” portrays Indiana history and depicts the Ku Klux Klan in white robes alongside a burning cross.

Students petitioned to have the mural removed.

Provost Lauren Robel, in a statement sent to the campus, said the university had to balance preserving the mural with offering an inclusive learning environment. The mural actually celebrated the press for breaking the Klan’s political influence in the state, but that point was easy to miss in a classroom setting.

“This question becomes especially urgent whenever events such as the march of white supremacist groups in Charlottesville and the current national debate over Confederate monuments occur,” Robel said. “These broader conversations become deeply local, and we must come to a decision as a community on how to handle public art and memory.”

In her statement, Robel announced classes would no longer take place in Woodburn Hall 100, and that the space should be used as a gallery or for public lecture, where the larger point of the mural would be more easily conveyed.

Across the country, letters are being peeled off and name plates are being taken down from university buildings that honor people with troubling views or a troubling past. It’s happened at Yale University, Stanford University, Duke University and many other schools.

Wildermuth’s name is not the only one that has concerned IU students.

In 2017, anonymous fliers circulated in Jordan Hall decrying the practice of eugenics promoted by former IU president and scientist David Starr Jordan, who advocated for forced sterilization.

According to his biographer, Jordan once said, “To say that one race is superior to another is merely to confirm the common observation of every intelligent citizen.”

Jordan’s name was stripped in 2018 from a Palo Alto, California, middle school. But at IU, his legacy is ever-present — in Jordan Hall, presumably on Jordan Avenue and even in the little brook that cuts through campus, known as the Jordan River.

Four relay victories padded IU’s lead throughout the week with wins in the 800 freestyle, 400 medley, 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle. All relays qualified for the national championships with NCAA A cut times.

“The most important relay was the one we lost,” Looze said. “I think it was a great wake-up call because it happened so early in the meet that it got our guys’ attention. It crystalized our level of focus because they were not happy about losing that relay.”

Two IU swimmers swept their respective events with sophomore Gabriel Fantoni on the butterfly and senior Ian Finnerty on breaststroke.

Fantoni won both the 100 and 200 backstroke with times of 44.91 and 1:39.28 respectively. The former marked his personal best in the event and the latter established a new Big Ten record.

Last year’s conference and national breaststroke champion Finnerty swept both the 100 (50.77) and 200 events (1:50.30) with NCAA A cuts. Finnerty became the first man in conference history to win the 100 breaststroke four consecutive years. His time on the 200 breaststroke also established the fastest time in Big Ten history.

Lanza, took first with NCAA A cut and Big Ten record breaking performances in the 200 individual medley and 200 butterfly.

His performance in the butterfly set a school record and was also the fastest time in the nation this year.

Looze said he is grateful for the opportunity to have witnessed the growth of Finnerty and Lanza, and is excited to see how they prepare for Austin.

“When they arrived as freshman we began to see the transformation of our program,” Looze said. “As sophomores they were among the best of the conference and were already performing like seniors would. I look forward to seeing how they close out their collegiate careers in Austin, Texas.”

Since announcing his exploratory committee in late January, Buttigieg has received a surprising amount of media attention for a mayor previously little known on the national stage. He ranked third in a Saint Anselm College poll of New Hampshire voters last week, only behind former Vice President Joe Biden, who has yet to formally announce a campaign, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. Buttigieg quickly received more than 65,000 donations following a CNN Town Hall in March, earning him a spot in the first Democratic primary debate in June.

On April 1, Buttigieg announced he had raised more than $7 million in the first quarter of 2019, outdoing Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Cory Booker, D-N.J., according to an ABC News Analysis.

Wetherall, the woman with the yellow hat, said there’s been a bit of a starstruck quality around Mayor Pete as his momentum builds. She has lived in South

Bend for 18 years, is interim director of the Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative and just spent four years developing the building in which Buttigieg spoke.

“He’s so familiar, and suddenly we’re seeing him on the national spotlight,” Wetherall said.

Buttigieg has been the mayor of South Bend since 2012, and took a sevenmonth unpaid leave in 2014 to serve in the war in Afghanistan. He graduated from Harvard University, was a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford and speaks seven languages.

Buttigieg ran to chair the Democratic National Committee in 2017 but withdrew his name minutes before the vote.

Former President Barack Obama named Buttigieg a potential party leader after the 2016 election, and Buttigieg’s rising stardom was likened by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough in March to Obama himself.

Lotus Festival kicks off 25th year

By David Brinson dabrinso@iu.edu

The 2018 Lotus World Music and Arts Festival officially began at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on Thursday night with live performances from the band Uncle Earl and Malian musician Mamadou Kelly.

“Lotus brings people together,” Lotus Executive Director Sunni Fass said.

The concert kicks off a weekend filled with performances by musicians from all over the world, international cuisine and many interactive exhibits, all sprinkled around downtown Bloomington. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the

festival.

Fass started with the organization back in 2001 when she was still a student at IU. She majored in ethnomusicology and found Lotus to be a perfect fit.

“It’s an amazing organization,” Fass said. “I’ve worked with lots of arts organization and this one is special.”

Fass said the annual festival, along with its community presence during the rest of the year, has only grown bigger and bigger since she started as an undergrad. As executive director, it is her duty to “make sure all the pieces work together.”

“This is an opportunity for everyone, people from all over the world,

that otherwise would never meet, to actually meet and talk with one another,” Fass said. “It lets us get beyond just the soundbites.”

Kelly opened with his hybrid African sound. The string-focused, allwomen group, Uncle Earl followed.

Molly Bendalin, a sophomore psychology major, attended the concert for extra credit in a class.

“I’m excited to immerse myself in the music and the different kinds of culture,” Bendalin said. When asked whether she’d be attending more of the events that weekend, just for pleasure, she paused.

“We’ll see how the concert tonight goes,” she said with a laugh.

Women of all hair colors, from

bright red to white, danced to the music in the front row. Bloomington residents and visitors were introduced to a new world of music.

Some had already fallen in love with it.

Jim Brown, a resident of St. Louis, made his ninth journey to the festival. As he waited in line to get into the concert, he said African music is by far his favorite genre, though he appreciates the diversity of the festival.

“African music, hearing it on a CD is one thing. It’s a whole other to hear it performed live,” Brown said.

“The lineup of exceptional talent from all over the world. I’d say that’s what keeps me coming back.”

‘Where Are Ü Now’: Diplo comes to Welcome Week

By Calie Schepp crschepp@iu.edu

Crowds of IU students filled a parking lot near 13th Street and Fee Lane to listen to alternative and EDM hits.

The Welcome Week Block Party, which is presented by the Residence Hall Association, Residential Programs and Services, and Union Board, is an annual concert for IU students.

The lineup this year included alternative rock band Teenage Wrist, DJ and producer Whethan and world-renowned EDM producer and DJ Diplo.

Jaden Thomas, a freshman studying international business, said he bought a ticket for the show to start off the new school year right.

“I thought this would be a good way to meet people and have a good time at a loud, rowdy concert,” Thomas said.

Before the concert started, RHA and Union Board hosted a free carnival on the premises. Packed with rides and games, it was open 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and was free to all IU students.

Inside the venue, hungry students could purchase barbecue from the Great White Smoke food truck. And for thirsty attendees, the city of Bloomington set up water stations and provided cups, all free of charge.

Ike Evuvouwa, a junior studying finance and computer science, worked the Block Party concert as a hospitality runner with the Union Board. His job was to make sure artists’ riders — lists of food, drinks or technical services they might need — were filled and that the artists had everything they needed.

Students wait in anticipation for concert headliner Diplo to take the stage during the Welcome Week Block Party hosted by Residential Programs and Services, the Residence Hall Association and the Indiana Memorial Union Board on Saturday evening at 13th Street and Fee Lane.

“I got Whethan a knife,” Evuvouwa said. “I hear he really likes waffles and maybe he needed it for that.”

Also working with the Union Board as a hospitality runner was Sri Nalla, a sophomore studying finance. He was specifically in charge of keeping up with Teenage Wrist and making sure they had everything they needed, like La Croix and Mountain Dew. “It’s been kind of nice to be in contact with the actual artist because it’s nice to have that experience,” Nalla said. “It’s pretty cool because the lead singer is actually from my neighborhood in Colorado. It’s cool

getting to know them as actual people.”

Tickets for students were $35 with a $10 discount for freshmen.

Bea Bradley, a freshman hoping to study studio art, said she decided to give the concert a try since a lot of her friends were going to be in attendance.

“I don’t really listen to EDM, and I’ve never heard Teenage Wrist before,” Bradley said. “This concert seemed like fun but I’m more into folk and indie bands.”

Ethan Snoreck, aka Whethan, is a 19-year-old DJ from Chicago. He’s collaborated with the likes of Charli

XCX and Oh Wonder, and played remixes of some hits, like “Habits (Stay High)” by Tove Lo. Teenage Wrist is an alternative rock band made up of Marshall Gallagher on guitar and vocals, Anthony Salazar on drums and Kamtin Mohager on bass guitar and vocals. Hailing from Los Angeles, their sound is grungy and raw. The crowd rocked out to songs like “Stoned, Alone” from their album “Chrome Neon Jesus.”

While the music blasted and a laser light show played on stage, students jumped and fist-pumped to Teenage Wrist, Whethan and, finally,

Diplo.

Diplo played some his hits, like “Where Are Ü Now” and “Lean On”, while also remixing a few other artists popular songs, like “I’m Upset” and “God’s Plan” by Drake, and “I Like It” by Cardi B. In between songs he would talk to the crowd saying, “I love you, Indiana” or counting down to the next beat drop. The visuals during Diplo’s set were full of colorful laser lights and smoke that cascaded out of the stage.

“EDM in general is pretty hype,” Thomas said. “So it was bound to be a great concert.”

Women find freedom by going braless

By Yue Sun sun12@iu.edu | @sunyue_luna

Not every girl wants to stride across campus with tight bra straps carving into her shoulders and rib cage.

IU senior Morgan Farrell enjoys the freedom since she went braless about two years ago.

She said physical comfort was the main reason she stopped wearing them.

“It’s just me living my life and doing what I have to do,” Farrell said. “If a woman does not want to wear something, she doesn’t have to, as long as she’s not being indecent.”

Going braless has been an unceasing trend since the women’s liberation movements in the 1970s when bra-burning seemingly became a feminism banner.

Though women have long been told not to expose their bodies, nowadays they are not repressed to wear a bra, and not wearing a bra is not necessarily associated

with any political statement, said Jennifer Maher, IU gender studies professor.

“It’s not a feminist tenet,” she said. “It’s not that people who wear a bra aren’t feminists.”

In 1968, hundreds of feminists and civil right advocates gathered at the Miss America 1969 contest in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and protested by tossing token feminine products such as bras, makeup and corsets into a “Freedom Trash Can.” Maher said the Miss America protest was not a demonstration against the bras and the makeup themselves, instead it was against the idea that women had to wear those things in order to be accepted.

“We do things that allow us to make our way in the world,” she said. “There’s nothing wrong with looking feminine at all. The problem is that if it’s mandated, people who don’t do that have a harder time.”

The design of female undergarments is always tied

Going braless has been an unceasing trend since the women’s liberation movements in the 1970s when braburning seemingly became a feminism banner.

with the clothes we wear on the outside, said Kelly Richardson, the curator of Sage Fashion Collection at IU. The image of female body shape has been constantly changing.

Female undergarments such as corsets and girdles were styled to conform to a particular shape popular at the time, and they were

much more rigid and uncomfortable than the modern bras women are wearing.

Nowadays fashion has become more diverse and many varying forms of the female body coexist with each other. Women like Farrell are comfortable with their bodies and are less concerned with how other

people think.

At the end of the day, it’s everyone’s choice, Farrell said.

“We’re all about letting women be women, and not having our actions be sexualized constantly and not letting our bodies be objectified for no reason,” she said.

Maher said the associa-

tion of breasts with sexuality is not necessarily wrong.

“They’re sexualized because they are sexual,” she said.

She said because we live in a patriarchy, women’s breasts are sexualized in a way that men’s breasts aren’t. A lot of people are threatened by female sexuality and don’t feel comfortable with that.

Farrell said women in general are feeling more comfortable not wearing a bra, and it’s showing a shift in the way women think about the way they dress themselves. The choices they make are more based off of what they want, instead of the social norms.

“We’re constantly in the world on a tightrope between what we want to do and what society expects from us in order to get ahead,” Maher said. “Life is long, and it’s hard and tiring sometimes to constantly be having to make a statement through your physical appearance.”

33rd annual Culture Shock draws a crowd at IMU

By Abby Malala abbridge@iu.edu

The Starbucks at the Indiana Memorial Union was closed Saturday afternoon.

But that didn’t stop IU students from flocking to the IMU to study for finals week, nor did the aerial dancing, voguing and loud music in Alumni Hall.

The 33rd annual Culture Shock Festival, run by local student radio station WIUX, took place in Alumni Hall on Saturday.

Despite the rainy weather and the festival’s subsequent move indoors, many attended the day of art, music and culture.

Vendors in an adjacent room included booths from the children’s science museum Wonderlab where at-

tendees could experiment with the science of sound, bubble tea shop Bapu Teahouse and a local henna tattoo artist.

Food trucks available to festival-goers along Seventh Street included The Big Cheeze, Seasons in Bloom and La Poblana Taco Truck.

Crowds started to gather at the IMU at 11 a.m., but doors didn’t open until 1 p.m.

The performances started at 1:15 p.m. with a set by ktfaithful, the stage name for Bloomington singer-songwriter and IU junior Katie Faith O’Neill.

“It was really natural,” she said. “Seeing my friends made it feel better.”

Next, DJ MADDØG took to the turntables in front of the stage, wearing rainbow

platform boots and a neon orange crop top while waving her long ponytail in the air. She spun fast-paced future house and pop remixes as voguers drew in the crowd in front of the setup.

Later, during psychedelic rock band Boa’s set, the guitarist leaped onto the speaker scaffolding to play a solo.

“We’re Boa,” bassist Shane Spader said at the start of the set. “Let’s boogie.”

Members of VD Collective took turns spinning before the last five acts, sampling a variety of music from disco to Death Grips, the experimental rap and hip hop group.

The first headliner, Katherine Paul’s Portland-based musical project Black Belt Eagle Scout, performed a song called “Indians Never Die.” “Being in a university

setting, it looks like New England territory,” she said to a cheering crowd. “So fuck the colonizers.”

Chicago trio Lala Lala tried to connect with the college-age crowd by making up sentences using popular lingo.

“In this house, I’m baby and daddy is my problematic fave,” the band’s singer Lillie West read off her phone.

Next to last of the night was the pop trio SHAED, whose members said they hit up popular Bloomington hotspots such as Mother Bear’s, The Chocolate Moose and The Back Door.

SHAED performed its original song “Melt,” which lead singer Chelsea Lee said is about her experience at a major record label. Later,

the crowd sang along to every word of the band’s cover of “Take Me to Church”

by Hozier.

“I’m so excited for SHAED,” IU sophomore Hannah Cougill said earlier in the day. “I just started listening to them, and they sound like they’re going to be so good live.”

Cougill also worked the festival as a member of WIUX and said preparing for Culture Shock had been a long but rewarding process.

By the time VD Collective was spinning its last set and Chicago rapper Saba was about to take the stage, Alumni Hall was at capacity with a line of people waiting to get in.

IU sophomore Dhayshaneil Booker made it to the

second row of the crowded room to see Saba.

“I listen to him to relax,” said. “He has a real chill vibe.”

However, during the set, crowds pushed against the metal barricades as the rapper took the stage.

Security yelled at those in the front rows to step back.

A large dance circle formed in the middle of the crowd as Saba performed his song “Westside Bound 3.”

“And I’m from the part of the city they don’t be talking about,” he rapped. “I gave the west side a new meaning.”

At one point, Saba instructed the crowd to keep their hands up for an entire song.

A sea of hands swayed back and forth as he rapped, almost perfectly in time.

Local rapper nochilliams wants to make it big

By Abby Malala abbridge@iu.edu

Two chairs sit in a small room crowded with audio equipment.

A trumpet is set up on a stand on the floor next to a folding table with a MacBook on it.

The walls are covered with noise-muffling black foams pads, posters of Thelonious Monk and the Newport Jazz Festival and a signed Mac Miller record.

This is where local rapper Adam Williams, who performs under the stage name nochilliams, records.

It’s the home studio of his self-taught producer, Logan Reeves.

Williams is from Chicago and started rapping and making music on his laptop while still in high school. He also raps as one half of the duo whytenoys.

He recently dropped a mixtape called “Fuck the World” on March 7, which is available on all streaming platforms. He’s also releasing a music video in early April for his track “It’ll All Make Sense.”

His music touches on drug use and addiction. He said rapping helps him to express his struggles.

Williams is currently a junior studying media advertising at IU but plans on transferring to DePaul University after this semester in his hometown of Chicago.

He wants to help grow the lo-fi scene in Chicago.

Logan Reeves is the self-taught producer of rapper Adam Williams, who performs under the stage name nochilliams. Williams dropped a mixtape called “Fuck the World” on March 7, which is available on all streaming platforms.

Lo-fi is short for low fidelity or low audio quality indicative of DIY music.

Reeves and Williams say they formed a symbiotic relationship after working together since last summer.

“I write the rap, he makes the beats,” Williams said.

Reeves has been playing trumpet since sixth grade band class and started making beats in high school.

He was given a laptop with Ableton 8 already down-

loaded on it, a music production program popular with many DIY rap and hip hop artists.

“Nowadays kids are making music on the laptop, not just recording music on the laptop,” Reeves said.

But being prolific in the studio doesn’t mean Williams is very active in the live show scene.

Bloomington really champions the live band, Reeves said, and not many

people will go out to see one guy rapping in a basement.

Reeves and Williams also said house shows seem to be more about the alcohol than the music.

Reeves recounted a time when he hosted a show at his apartment, a night fueled by $1 shots that resulted in trashed and stolen property.

Williams said he feels his time is better spent making music in the studio or mak-

ing meaningful connections with other musicians and fans.

When asked where he wants to take his music, Williams said he wants to gain respect for his art and make a living off it.

Williams also said he knows there must be hundreds of thousands of other rappers, but he just has to be better than the rest.

Some people don’t want to listen to local music or any-

thing that isn’t on Spotify, he said.

Rapper Mac Miller is Williams’ hero.

Williams says that when he listens to his music, it feels like he’s speaking to him.

He wants to do that for other people and maybe gain some respect too.

“I made a promise to myself, like I gotta make this happen,” Williams said.

“This shit is all I got.”

IU receives $10.9 million grant to support Lilly Library

By Annie Aguiar aguiara@iu.edu | @annabelaguiar

A $10.9 million grant through the IU Foundation from Lilly Endowment Inc. will be used to support renovations to Lilly Library.

A growth in collection size as well as increasing demands from scholars and students to use the library’s col-

lections have placed a strain on the building, according to a press release.

The grant will fund upgrades to the library’s mechanical systems, equipment, fire safety systems, disability access, navigation systems and space configuration.

“Printed materials are among the most commonly

surviving artifacts of history and offer transformational, hands-on learning,” said Carolyn Walters, Ruth Lilly Dean of University Libraries, in the release. “The Lilly Library is so much more than a building, and yet, our value is inherently tied to the people and spaces that encourage interaction with our materials.”

The library was founded in 1960 to contain the private collection of businessman Josiah K. Lilly Jr., which included more than 20,000 rare books and 17,000 manuscripts. Now, the library contains more than 450,000 rare books, 8.5 million manuscripts and 150,000 sheets of music.

The collection also includes one of the 22 Gutenberg Bibles that still exist, the first printed edition of “The Canterbury Tales” as well as personal collections from authors such as Orson Welles and Sylvia Plath.

“The Lilly Library is one of our campus treasures,” IU Provost Lauren Robel said in

the release. “The renovation will support more scholarly interactions with relevant rare books, personal letters and photographs, among many other historically important objects.”

Renovations are expected to begin later this year and will close the library for about 18 months.

IU Cinema honors usher

By Annie Aguiar

aguiara@iu.edu | @annabelaguiar

Will Eltzroth knows how to usher.

It’s the know-how honed over the course of 81 shifts volunteering at IU Cinema as a freshman, the most of any usher that year.

Eltzroth, 19 and a sophomore studying media production, will receive a nameplate in his honor on a seat of his choice in the theater.

The job is in the details — perfecting the proper tickettearing technique while maintaining eye contact with the customer, switching back and forth between watching the film and the audience on the hunt for a stray phone screen, making sure to prepare for rainy days so his usher’s uniform is impeccable.

“Since you’re wearing the white shirt, you need an umbrella otherwise you can’t usher because then your nips are showing,” he said. “I was always really good about that.”

Every year, the cinema awards the usher with the highest amount of shifts with a permanent nameplate on one of the theater seats.

With his 81 shifts, Eltzroth didn’t just have the most shifts of his year — he’s set a record for the most ever in a single year since the cinema opened in 2011.

Last year’s honoree, 2017 graduate Mary Mitchell, was recognized for 54.

He didn’t even know he had done something worthy of an award until friends starting texting him congratulations.

“They were like ‘congrats for the award,’” he said, “and I was like, ‘what award?’”

He started signing up in bulk for 10 and 20 shifts at a time, which isn’t that unusual for ushers at the beginning of the year said Jessica Davis Tagg, the cinema’s assistant director of events, facilities and guest services.

“It was less shocking that he signed up, it was that he

Sophomore Will Eltzroth sits in a designated usher seat in the back of the IU Cinema. Eltzroth set a record for the most volunteer shifts at the cinema since its opening in 2011, numbering 81 shifts in one year.

kept doing it,” she said. “Will is phenomenal.”

With every volunteer shift, Eltzroth received a free ticket voucher.

“I never ended up using any of them. Whenever I wanted to see a movie I would just usher for it,” he said.

He estimates that at his peak ticket hoarding, he had around 70 tickets at one time.

It all started with a hat.

On a visit to IU before his freshman year, his father went into the IU Cinema on a whim and met Jon Vickers, the cinema’s founding director. Eltzroth says Vickers gave his father a black baseball hat with the cinema’s name in white on the front.

“Which was groundbreaking because then I had to get an IU Cinema hat,” Eltzroth said. “I was hoping if I ushered enough, they would kind of be like ‘oh man you’re a great usher, have a hat. You earned it.’”

He actually did receive

the hat in recognition of his sixtieth shift in February, but accidentally left it at his house in Crown Point before moving back down for his sophomore year — he sounds annoyed with himself when he says it’s still on his bedroom lamp: “Oh, dude, don’t even ask.”

Neither snow nor rain nor any other weather condition stopped Eltzroth from ushering.

He walked to every single one of his shifts with only one exception — he got a ride from a friend when “Mississippi Masala” came to the cinema in the middle of a blizzard.

Eltzroth, who wants to be a writer-director, said there’s no feeling like watching a good movie. He wants to make movies that give the audience goosebumps, the kind of offbeat films he spent his freshman year watching at the cinema, like space-western musical “American Astronaut” or Brazilian werewolf flick “Good Manners.”

“It’s kind of like seeing someone’s brain splatter on paper,” he said. “There’s books and there’s paintings, but film is, in my opinion, the most transparent way to show what you’re thinking and convey what you want to say.”

He said he plans to put his dad’s name on the seat because he didn’t want to put his own and he couldn’t think of any appropriate movie quotes. He’s not sure which seat he’s going to choose — maybe one of the designated seats for ushers in the back of the theater where he spent so many nights.

For those wanting to volunteer, IU Cinema is recruiting ushers and has a callout meeting planned for Aug. 21.

Eltzroth, however, wants to take a step back from volunteering and instead visit the cinema as an audience member.

Maybe he’ll even get around to using some of those vouchers.

Nanette Vonnegut reflects on life with her father

By Chris Forrester chforres@iu.edu |@_ChrisForrester

On an annual pilgrimage to Indiana, Nanette Vonnegut, daughter of legendary author Kurt Vonnegut, visited the Lilly Library to see its collection of her father’s original manuscripts.

“They’re precious now; growing up, they weren’t precious,” she said. “They were on the ground, coffeestained, with ashes from his cigarettes. They were my childhood; I just wanted to see them again.”

Kurt Vonnegut’s manuscripts are sprawling and messy, filled with starts and stops, drafts and redrafts.

Nanette Vonnegut says they’re a reminder of his hard work.

“Seeing his collection is a really beautiful thing,” she said. “And I’m really heartened by how it’s being taken care of.”

The Vonnegut manuscript collection at the Lilly Library contains about 6,000 items, including early rejection slips, drafts, doodles, and fan letters, said IU Libraries assistant librarian Isabel Planton.

“The multiple drafts of some works in the collection, such as ‘Slaughterhouse-Five,’ demonstrate how hard Vonnegut had to work to achieve his desired effect with his writing,” Planton said.

A resident of Northampton, Massachusetts, and an artist herself, Nanette Vonnegut comes to Indianapolis on invitation from the Vonnegut Library nearly every year. On Monday evening, she’ll speak at the library about her maternal grandmother’s mental health.

“I’m going to bat for my grandmother,” she said, chuckling. “But always, I’m going to bat for my father.”

Being the daughter of a writer isn’t as romantic as it sounds, Nanette Vonnegut said.

“What I saw was a moody guy,” she said. “Now I get why he was moody.”

COURTESY PHOTO

Nannette Vonnegut, daughter of author Kurt Vonnegut, will speak Sept. 24 at the Vonnegut Library about her maternal grandmother’s mental health.

He toiled away all day long in his study in the family’s Cape Cod home, entering in the mornings and often not emerging until the evenings when it was time for dinner or cocktails.

Nanette Vonnegut and her siblings knew not to bother him while he was at work, she said.

“What I saw was a moody guy. Now I get why he was moody.”

Nanette Vonnegut, daughter of Kurt Vonnegut

“My mother was sort of the gatekeeper,” Nanette Vonnegut said. “She believed in him, was invested

in him, because she knew he was different from anything she had ever read.”

Her mother was a literature major, an academic and a caretaker.

She took care of the children while her husband wrote, wrote, wrote.

Many people think of Kurt Vonnegut as a solitary or anti-social person, but that wasn’t the case, Nanette Vonnegut said.

She recalls a time even before his fame when Jack Kerouac came to visit the family’s home.

“He wasn’t cool with Jack Kerouac’s drunken behavior and swearing,” she said. “So, he said, ‘he’s gotta go.’ He had his standards.”

Later, when he moved to New York after gaining traction as a writer, he enjoyed the business, she said. He was always doing some-

thing.

“The guy was never idle,” Nanette Vonnegut said. “If he wasn’t writing, he was doing paintings. It was an exciting house to be in. He was a creative force, and my mother was also very sparkly and very positive.”

Despite her father’s need for privacy when he wrote, he was a tender and loving figure in Nanette’s life.

He was surprisingly funny, out of nowhere, she said.

She remembers him chasing her and her siblings around the house, bread crusts jammed in his mouth to imitate fangs.

But that didn’t last forever.

“It was sort of the end of this, the family unit,” she said of her father’s move to New York when his writing career finally began to garner recognition.

Kurt Vonnegut moved to

New York in 1971, and soon after divorced his wife.

They remained friends, but to Nanette Vonnegut, it was the end of an era both for her father’s personal life and for what she considered the best portion of his writing career.

“He’s a good thing in the world and a good force. He has staying power. I am very proud of him.”

Nanette Vonnegut, daughter of Kurt Vonnegut

“That’s where his formative writing time was: on the Cape,” she said.

Nanette Vonnegut said her

favorite of her father’s works was “Slaughterhouse Five.”

“It’s a magic trick to me that he condensed something so traumatic in such short order,” she said. “It’s brilliant. It’s a masterpiece of condensing trauma into how he wrote around what happened to him.”

After a moment’s consideration, though, she said her favorite was probably just whichever novel he’d written the most recently.

“I’d be a fan if I were not his daughter,” she said.

But most of all, she said, reflecting on seeing his manuscripts at the Lilly Library, his talent was genuine, and his fame was born of hard, hard work.

“He’s a good thing,” she said. “He’s a good thing in the world and a good force.

He has staying power. I am very proud of him.”

REVIEW

Beyoncé’s ‘Homecoming’ is a celebration of black culture and love Jaden Amos is a junior in journalism.

If you never wanted to attend or visit a historically black college or university, you will after watching Beyoncé’s “Homecoming.”

“Homecoming” released on Netflix on April 17 and is a concert film documenting her 2018 Coachella performance. Along with the film, she surprise released a live album of the songs from the performance.

Her new documentary is a tribute to both HBCUs and to her career. She performs all the bangers and sprinkles in salutes to other black artists like Nina Simone and Juvenile. It gives broke people like me a chance to watch the spectacle that was “Beychella.”

The documentary is more than just a concert movie or behind the scenes of the long, meticulous process leading up to the performance. It is a homecoming for all Beyoncé fans. It gave us a space to reflect on her history and celebrate the influence she’s had on our lives for decades.

Beyoncé reminds us all

that she is a dedicated performer like no one else. She designed a pyramid stage set up, similar to bleachers, had over 200 people on stage at any given time and sang over 30 songs. There is not a single moment during the performance that is similar to anything I have seen Beyoncé, or any performer, do before.

HBCUs and their culture are at the forefront of the entire performance. While this is a celebration of Beyoncé’s career, it’s also a celebration of black people and black culture. Her dancers, orchestra and backup singers are predominantly black. All the performers are wearing Balmain hoodies with dazzling greek letters on them, and the pyramid stage makes the crowd feel like they’re at an HBCU, partying and celebrating with Beyoncé.

Beyoncé raised me. As a young black girl with no black family members, Beyoncé was like my cool older sister. My favorite song as a 5 year old was “Lose My Breath” by Destiny’s Child, and I remember rushing to my computer room after elementary school to sit and watch Beyoncé videos until

dinnertime.

A quote shown in the movie is, “You can’t be what you can’t see.”

As a child, Beyoncé was the only black woman I saw and heard from regularly. To see a strong, successful black woman dominate the world inspired me and still does today. She taught me the power of being a woman and of being black.

Toward the end of the film, a spoken interview with Maya Angelou is played.

“I want to be a representation of my race, the human race,” she said in the recording. “I have a chance to show how kind we can be, how intelligent and generous we can be.”

Beyoncé is a hero to many people. Blackness and femininity are popular subjects for her to sing about, but her music influences all people.

For many, including me, she is a role model.

I will only be talking about “Homecoming” for the next few weeks, and I imagine I am not the only person in the midst of another Beyoncé obsession. jamamos@iu.edu

A red-eyed Krampus prepares to hit the “naughty” parade attendees with his stick, which is called a ruten, Dec. 1 on North Madison Street. The parade, which started at 6 p.m., featured dancing angels, St. Nicholas and a number of Krampuses.

Krampus beasts punish the naughty of Bloomington

By Hannah Reed hanreed@iu.edu | @hannahreed13

The sound of chains hitting the concrete, screams from children and adults and growls from Krampus beasts could be heard through the streets of Bloomington on Saturday evening.

The half-goat, half-demon beasts, chains and screams were all part of the Krampus Rampage and Bazaaar event that took place Dec. 1.

The Krampus Legend and Arts Workshop has organized the event — which is on its seventh year — and Suzanne Donnelly, the chief financial officer, has been involved since the beginning.

“It’s a ton of fun,” Donnelly said. “It takes a little bit of legend, brings in the magic of the holiday season. It’s family friendly with an edge of being a little bit scary without being terrifying.”

Before the event began, attendees were given a choice between wearing a naughty or nice sticker. Those who

chose naughty consented to being touched or swatted by the Krampus beasts, as well as possibly being left with an ashen mark on the face that is said to attract bad dreams.

Those who wore the nice stickers were left untouched and were handed candy.

The rampage began at 6 p.m. on Fourth Street and made its way to Showers Common. The parade consisted of candy angels, hula hoop angels, fire spinners and Saint Nicholas followed

by Krampus beasts and their handlers.

The angels, dressed entirely in white, led the group down the streets as they handed out candy and used LED hula hoops.

“Are you nice?” The angels asked as they handed out the candy to the children.

People dressed in all black holding torches and spinning fire followed the angels — one man walked with a whip lit on fire as he smacked it on the ground, greeted by screams from the audience.

The screams didn’t stop with the fire spinners, but instead were encouraged by the handlers for the Krampus beasts.

“Scream loud for me kids,” said out one of the handlers holding a chain to contain the monsters.

The large, hairy monsters lunged and growled at the event attendees wearing naughty stickers, hitting the ground in front of them with their ruten, bundles of thin birch twigs legend says Krampus beast used to corral or punish children.

After the parade came to a close, hundreds gathered in Showers Common, huddled beneath the metal awnings and umbrellas to avoid the on-and-off rain showers. People of all ages stood around eating from food trucks, watching fire spinners, making Krampus masks out of paper plates or waiting to take photos with Saint Nicholas and the beasts.

angel, said she was pleasantly surprised by the turnout for the event.

“I think it’s pretty darn good,” Skelton said. “I mean, really, look at all these people on a rainy December first.”

Donnelly said the event has the largest Krampus participation in North America, and last year they had more than 5000 people attend the

parade and the bazaar.

For some, this event is tradition.

“There are some kids that come to this, that this is the only holiday event they know,” Donnelly said. “They’re 7 years old and they’ve been coming to this every year — they don’t know a Christmas season or a holiday season without a Krampus.”

The event has between 15 and 22 Krampus roam the streets, and anywhere from 80 to 100 people help make the event happen behind the scenes.

How the Krampus beasts are put together, however, is kept a secret to keep the magic alive.

“It’s not a costume,” Donnelly said. “They’re Krampus.”

uesday night proved to Hoosiers the so-called blue wave would not touch the Crossroads of America, where no Democrat will hold statewide office starting in 2019.

Republicans flipped Indiana’s available Senate seat from blue to red, elect-

ing Mike Braun and denying Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly a second term in Washington, D.C. In the 9th Congressional District, which includes Bloomington, incumbent Republican Rep. Trey Hollingsworth handily defeated Democratic challenger Liz Watson.

INDIANAPOLIS – In his victory speech, Republican Mike Braun told supporters he wouldn’t have run for U.S. Senate if Donald Trump was not president.

Braun spoke to a crowd of almost 200 people at the JW Marriott hotel in downtown Indianapolis. The event began at 6 p.m., but Braun did not arrive until his 10 p.m. when he gave his victory speech.

He defeated incumbent Sen. Joe Donnelly, who gave a concession speech at 9:30 p.m.

President Trump endorsed Braun at rallies around Indiana leading up to the election, urging voters to support Braun. Vice President Pence and Bob Knight also appeared at Braun’s rallies.

“I want to thank all Hoosiers for giving me a resounding victory, for putting your faith in me,” Braun said. “I will not let you down.”

Braun said Republicans need to keep working hard over the next two years to re-elect Trump.

“We have to prove why our way of thinking, what works in Indiana, is going to work for the rest of America,” he said.

The crowd seemed consistently optimistic throughout

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Democrats showed up to the party’s watch party in downtown Indianapolis early with cautious optimism about the Indiana’s Senate race.

Some left in tears.

Democrat Sen. Joe Donnelly delivered his concession speech just before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday in the ballroom at the Hyatt Regency.

The senator, unseated by Republican businessman and former state legislator Mike Braun, expressed his gratefulness for his campaign staff in his remarks.

“I’ve been filled up so much more by you and you’ve given me so much, and I’m so grateful to all of you,” Donnelly said. “And please know this: If there’s ever anything I can ever do for you, count on me because of this. We love this country so much, we need to make sure we work to bring our country together rather than divide it.”

Donnelly had expressed optimism while speaking to reporters earlier Tuesday night. As polls closed and precincts across the state began reporting vote tallies, the mood in the room began to move toward somberness and uncertainty.

Barge resigns position amid harassment accusations

By Caroline Anders anders6@iu.edu | @clineands

Drake, 42, said he felt fear lift from his shoulders when he heard about Barge’s resignation.

“I feel like I finally won one,” he said. “For once, I was able to hold someone accountable.”

Drake alleged Barge sexually harassed him for more than a year, continuing to ask him to date her after he declined multiple times, telling him he had too many rules in his sex life, accusing him of having sex with his therapist and more.

In texts reviewed by the IDS, Barge acknowledged making advances toward Drake in August and November 2017.

Drake recorded a conversation between himself and Barge at a Steak ‘n Shake on Aug. 15, 2018.

“I ate a pot gummy and drunk texted you, and I don’t actually remember, and it’s really embarrassing,” Barge said, reading him a letter she wrote.

Throughout the conversation, Barge never expressly admitted to sexual harassment, but she took responsibility for hurting him.

“I do see that it was inappropriate at that time,” Barge said. “I do see that. A hundred percent.”

Barge has publicly said the IDS article included misinformation and lacked context, but despite multiple requests from the IDS, she has never identified any specific issues.

Before running the story, the IDS approached Barge with the allegations, but she declined to address them on the record.

Drake gave the IDS hours of recorded conversation between him-

Amanda Barge, then a 2019 Bloomington mayoral candidate, speaks at a press conference Feb. 22 at her campaign headquarters.

self and Barge and hundreds of other instances of communication, including texts and emails. Those documents show Barge seeming to admit she crossed a professional line.

“We are all fragile and flawed human beings,” read a statement Barge posted on Facebook the day she suspended her campaign for mayor.

“Although I vehemently deny engaging in sexual harassment, I recognize that my actions have caused pain to my family and others.”

In a statement at a Board of Commissioners meeting, Barge said she suspended her mayoral campaign to take time with her family and “not because I am guilty of these allegations.”

Early voting for the May primary starts Tuesday, and Barge’s name will still appear on the ballot in the race against Mayor John Hamilton. Barge has not said what she would do if she received more votes than Hamilton.

Barge was elected commissioner in 2016 and would have been up for re-election in 2020. She is a licensed

clinical social worker and owns a practice in Bloomington.

In Monday’s statement, Barge asked the community to develop an independent process to investigate allegations such as the ones leveled against her.

She wrote that she resigned as commissioner “with a heavy heart and concern for my family.” Barge is married with two children.

A handwritten note on her otherwise-typed resignation letter read, “Be free from judgment and love each other.”

Barge declined to comment for this story.

Drake said he’s grateful for the support he’s received from the community, but his work won’t be done until Bloomington and Monroe County step up to protect independent contractors from workplace harassment.

“The finish line is the day we see the mayor sign that legislation,” he said.

An unexpected proposal happened Wednesday night at the heavily-attended Bloomington City Council meeting.

Nico Sigler, deputy city clerk, stepped up to the podium at the beginning of the meeting to ask his girlfriend, Kaisa Goodman, if she would marry him.

“I am just here to report that I have met the perfect woman,” Sigler said. “Her name is Kaisa Goodman, and I am deeply in love with her.”

He knelt before her with a ring. She grinned and nodded “yes.” The couple kissed as the audience applauded.

Sigler, 31, said he chose city council as the place to propose because both he and Goodman are very involved in local politics.

Goodman, 25, is Mayor John Hamilton’s campaign manager and has been heavily involved with the Monroe County Democratic Party in the past few years.

“I just thought this would be the perfect place to do it,” Sigler said outside council chambers before the newly engaged couple left.

He said he didn’t consider any other way.

The council chambers were packed Wednesday night for the Fourth Street parking garage decision, but Sigler said it was only

a nice coincidence the proposal was on such a well-attended night.

He said council president Dave Rollo had helped get him on the meeting’s agenda after hearing Sigler’s plan.

“I understand we have a report from the mayor, and we have a report from the city clerk this evening,” Rollo said as he introduced the agenda Wednesday night.

Sigler said he and Goodman met when they worked at Bloomingfoods about seven years ago and started dating about three years ago.

“I’m just really in shock,” Goodman said. “It’s just been a crazy day.”

The proposal was unexpected for Goodman. She sported a white Cardi B T-shirt, which she said is not very characteristic for her appearance at city functions.

Sigler said he was pretty confident of Goodman’s answer, but he was still nervous.

“I mean, what if I messed up on camera?” he said Thursday morning in an interview.

After the crowd’s exclamations had quieted and the newly engaged couple sat down, a smiling Rollo joked perhaps they should just end the meeting then.

“I think that was the best report we’ve ever received,” Rollo said. “Congratulations to you both.”

Evansville families in the North Park library listen to Florintine Dawn read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” on Feb. 23. The reading was part of the city’s first Drag Queen Story Hour.

The role models “What about this?” Owen asked Erin, pointing to a blue performance fabric. “Does that look cute?”

“I don’t like it together.”

“OK, there you go,” Owen said. “Put it back because I’m not the one that people are gonna be judging.”

“You are,” Erin said. “You are the one people are gonna be judging.”

Owen ended up with a fabric called Cotton Candy Tie Dye Mystique. Silver flecks made the blue, pink and purple shine. It would make Florintine shine.

By Emily Miles elmiles@iu.edu | @EmilyLenetta

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Before police arrived with the horses and the armored vehicle, before the protesters gathered with their signs and prepared their hearts, before the Warriors for Christ assembled the loudspeakers, Owen Jackson rose before dawn and pulled seven layers of pantyhose onto his slim legs.

He slid on his hip pads, clasped his bra. He wriggled into the dress his friend sewed for the occasion. He painted his face, just like his drag mother Mysti and friend DeeDee and others taught him. They were his role models, and he wanted to make them proud.

He snapped together his magnetic earrings, which didn’t hurt as much as usual.

Finally, he emerged as Florintine Dawn.

Florintine Dawn was a local headliner of Drag Queen Story Hour, at once an innocuous library program for kids and a polarizing national spectacle.

Much of America, it seemed, had an opinion about Drag Queen Story Hour, and after months of broiling debate, it was finally, this afternoon, coming to Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library’s North Park branch.

The self-described humble queen didn’t talk about the symbol he would become.

The library and drag community had guarded his identity for several months, fearful for Owen’s safety. Then, just the day before, the Evansville Courier & Press ran an article about Owen, and his name suddenly filled newsstands and timelines.

Everyone knew the slight, twangy man on the cusp of Millennial and Gen Z they’d been arguing over. At 23, he worked as a chef, dabbled in photography and took the time to measure the water when he made macaroni.

But he didn’t seem too concerned about his growing fame.

He said it over and over again.

JAMES KEYS

Local protesters present signs in opposition to Evansville’s Drag Queen Story Hour on Feb. 23. Some members of the group had attended board and council meetings for months, speaking against the program.

Everybody’s opinion mattered just as much as his, and he was no better than anyone else. He was just ready to watch everything unfold.

Miles away, clouds kept the parking lot next door to the library dark and cold.

Pastor Cathy West began the prayer, the hood of her long black coat framing light hair and smiling eyes. It was the 40th day that a group of Christians set up outside the library to pray for the children of the community, for government officials, for a roadblock in this path away from God. From San Francisco to New York, and from Huntington Woods, Michigan, to Lafayette, Louisiana, drag performers were scheduled to read stories to children. In San Francisco, they had been for three years.

Recently, however, where Drag Queen Story Hour could be found, so too could protesters with signs about gender confusion, child abuse and the Bible.

In late summer, locals caught on to the national trend and asked the Evansville library if their city could be next in line.

They wanted their children to see the people promised by the national Drag Queen Story

Hour organization’s mission statement: “glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.”

Library officials brought it to the board of trustees. After lengthy discussion, all seven members approved, so library staff put the event on the library calendar for Feb. 23.

The Evansville Courier & Press first reported about the event in December 2018 and sparked a battle that played out on social media, at public meetings and in the homes and hearts of families.

Library board members were replaced. A city councilman posted a petition against the event on his Facebook page. A county commissioner threatened to pull library funding.

On all levels of Evansville community life, people felt the weight of Drag Queen Story Hour. They asked themselves who they wanted their children’s role models to be and who they wanted their city’s role models to be.

He checked his phone. Fifteen messages. It wouldn’t stop any time soon for Evansville’s reading queen.

The crew hurried to the fabric section. Owen ran his fingers along the mermaid sequined mesh on an endcap.

He wanted something bright, flashy, pink. OK, maybe not pink. But definitely something the kids would love. Blue and pink. Yes, that’s it. It would make a perfect poncho.

To wear with a tube skirt?

No, a dress. Owen made decisions on the fly, and Erin ran with the changes. She would finish the dress by Friday night.

Owen and Erin weaved in and out of aisles, past princess and cosplay fabrics, tugging on pieces to test stretch. Florintine needed to be able to do the Hokey Pokey in this outfit.

Two days to showtime E is for Everyone. This is Evansville’s young branding initiative, an effort to foster community involvement, celebrate the region and improve perceptions of the city. It’s something a visitor might notice advertised on billboards, shop windows and lamppost banners — those universal Main Street emblems of pride.

“Either ‘E is for Everyone’ or it isn’t,” Reverend Kevin Fleming of First Presbyterian Church and Rabbi Gary Mazo of Temple Adath B’nai Israel wrote in a Jan. 26 letter to the editor. “Drag Queens and Drag Kings count — they are part of everyone. The LGBTQ community counts as part of everyone.”

This letter came after the January library board meeting during which local drag king Brock Harder entered the ring, emphasizing that any parent who does not wish for their child to participate in Drag Queen Story Hour need not attend.

“I have been an LGBTQ entertainer in Evansville for the past six years,” Brock spoke into the microphone. “And I’m the one the people in this room hate.”

The crowd’s audible disapproval met his words in a disjunction between semantics and denial.

UPS driver is the ‘King of Kirkwood’

By Ty Vinson vinsonjo@iu.edu | @ty_vinson_

After 186 stops through Bloomington within 12 hours, Orlando Driver’s day is finished. First, the high-priority packages, then the larger ones, then it’s a free-for-all.

It has been his routine for 36 years and counting.

Driver is a UPS delivery man. At 60 years-old, he walks Kirkwood Avenue nearly every day making deliveries.

Over the years, some of the business owners he’s gotten to know have left, but Driver is still here.

“He really is the king of Kirkwood,” said Jay Wilkin, general manager of Tracks Music and Videos. “He knows what’s up.”

Being able to get out and

see the same people for the last 15 to 20 years has been the best part of his job, Driver said. IU students whose parents were around when Driver first started his job have come up to him, saying their parents have talked about him and how nice he was.

Wilkin has known Driver for nearly 24 years. He’d come into Tracks with packages and stick around to talk about ball games and complain.

“He’s kind of like President Trump, but not in a demonic way,” Wilkin said. “He’s a little out there, but people like that about him.”

Wilkin reminisced on a time when Driver helped a business owner down the street from Tracks. The man would chase Driver down the street, making sure he got his

packages every day, and Driver was still accommodating.

“He’s the happiest complainer I know,” Wilkin said.

“He survives on his niceness, plus he does the job.”

Driver grew up in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and came to Bloomington to babysit his younger cousins for a summer. He still remembers the day he arrived in Bloomington, June 6, 1973. After spending a summer here, Driver chose to stay. He enjoyed how easygoing Bloomington residents were in the early 1970s.

“It was like Camelot,” Driver said. “Everything was smooth.”

After graduating from Bloomington High School North and deciding not to go to college, Driver worked odd jobs here and there to make

money and have something to do. When Driver was 24, a friend told him it was time for him to get a real job.

He told Driver UPS was hiring new delivery drivers, and so began his lifelong career.

Along with his job, he met his wife in Bloomington. She was a student at IU and is now a chemist. Driver said he married for her brains.

Driver said he doesn’t like how the Bloomington scene has changed over the years.

What used to be a more carefree, loving town has become much more conservative than Driver was used to.

Driver is getting older and has noticed his friends showing up in the obituary section of the newspaper more often.

He never understood why

older people were so bitter until now.

Some of the students get on his nerves too.

He delivered boxes to a student one day without a complaint, and the same day, he delivered boxes to a different student who complained about having to bring the boxes upstairs by himself. Driver gave him some pointers on how to pick up a box.

“It’s the rudeness of the East Coast kids,” Driver said.

“They don’t have respect for people who do things for them.”

Students riding scooters have grabbed onto the back of his UPS truck for an extra boost and walked out right in front of his truck on the streets.

He worries students will walk into traffic when they’re out-

side of a college town.

“They don’t tell you everyone around you is gonna be stupid as hell,” Driver said.

Driver has stuck with his job because of the money, insurance and stability. His job helped him pay for medical bills when he broke his neck and when his youngest son was blinded in a car accident.

He said once his youngest child, now a senior at IU, is settled and has insurance of his own, he’s retiring.

“Once I’m done, I’ll be in honey do hell,” Driver said.

Indiana coalition lobbies for higher cigarette tax

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

An attendee holds a sign up on the steps of the Indiana Statehouse during the March for Our Lives rally March 2 in Indianapolis. Student speakers at the rally talked about gun violence in schools across the country.

Indianapolis March for Our Lives rally seeks more reform

By Lydia Gerike lgerike@iu.edu | @lydiagerike

INDIANAPOLIS — Students crowded near a microphone at the top of a side staircase at the Indiana Statehouse for the 2019 Indianapolis March For Our Lives rally to make sure news cameras saw their messages.

They held signs with phrases like “it’s a school zone not a war zone,” and “bullets are not school supplies.”

About 200 people gathered Saturday for the second annual Indianapolis rally. It was smaller than last year’s event, which took place inside the statehouse.

Many advocates said they feel there has been little effort to improve gun safety since the March For Our Lives movement originally rose up last year in response to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that killed 17 people.

Where the national movement often addresses school and mass shootings, the speakers in Indianapolis this year tried to also bring attention to the gun violence that affects some communities on a regular basis.

Tony Leadford, an eighth grader at Chapel Hill Seventh and Eighth Grade Center, came forward to talk about how a football teammate and his sister both died by gun violence. A couple weeks ago, he found out another friend was also shot in the shoulder but survived.

“I don’t think nobody want to lose a family member or a friend,” he said after the rally. “That’s just sad.”

People don’t take the issue seriously, Leadford said.

He doesn’t feel like anything has changed recently to make the issue better.

In the future, Leadford hopes to see fewer murders because so many people have lost loved ones.

IU freshman Evann Englert, who spoke at the event, is part of a group trying to start a campus chapter of Students Demand Action.

He said he became involved with gun safety advocacy last year and realized more changes needed to be made.

“Since Parkland, literally nothing has been done,” he said before the rally.

In the legal system, few efforts for significant gun reform have been successful.

A bill recently passed in the U.S. House of Representatives would fix loopholes in the system that currently don’t require background checks for guns purchased at online or at gun shows.

The White House has said President Trump would veto the bill if it passed in the Senate.

Englert brought up the issue of background checks during his speech in which he advocated for attendees to contact their local legislators

to get laws passed.

“Universal background checks sound like common sense, right?” Englert asked.

The crowd cheered.

“That’s because they are.”

Marleyla Wiltz, a sophomore at Bloomington High School South, traveled with a group of Bloomington students to the main March For Our Lives rally last year in Washington, D.C. She carried the same light blue sign this year, which reads “books not bullets.”

She said she noticed the Indianapolis march was pretty small, partially because it was on a state level but also because people are starting to become complacent again.

But it’s just the beginning, Wiltz said. For her, there is still much more to do to keep the United States safe, and she plans to one day run for office to make that happen.

“We just need to keep going,” she said.

A coalition met Wednesday in the Indiana Statehouse to lobby for a $2 increase on the state cigarette tax to prevent tobacco usage.

The Raise It for Health Coalition, a group of more than 200 businesses, health organizations and government entities dedicated to raising the cigarette tax, presented its findings to the media and lawmakers Wednesday in the Indiana Statehouse.

The coalition proposed a $2 cigarette tax increase to help curb smoking among teenagers and adults. The tax is currently 99.5 cents, according to truthinitiative.org.

Bryan Hannon, director of Indiana government relations for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, said a bill will be proposed in the Indiana House in the next few days to increase the cigarette tax by $2. The bill will also provide more funds to tobacco cessation and prevention programs.

The tax, if passed, is anticipated to reduce the amount of people smoking in Indiana while also dis-

suading people, especially adolescents, from picking up a tobacco product.

“Evidence shows us by significantly raising the price, that’s the most effective way of doing it,” Hannon said.

Public opinion polls from the last few years have shown strong, stable public support for raising the tax, Hannon said. Hoosiers are also angry at the state of public health in Indiana.

“The public wants action on the cigarette tax,” Hannon said. “Hoosiers want action from lawmakers and the governor on this.”

The American Cancer Society is committed to lowering the cancer burden in the state, Hannon said. Cancer diagnoses and deaths across the country are declining, but he said Indiana cancer death rates are higher than most states.

Hannon said many of those cancer cases and subsequent deaths can be linked back to behaviors.

“We know if we’re going to make serious inroads on reducing the cancer burden in the state, we’ve got to reduce smoking among people who are currently using cigarettes,” Hannon said.

‘Thank god we are here’ Bloomington clinic provides care to immigrant community

By Christine Stephenson cistephe@iu.edu | @cistephenson23

O

ne night when José was eight years old, he woke up nauseated and feverish. He was a kid, though – kids get sick all the time, his mother thought.

She decided they would wait it out.

Within a day or so, his legs grew weak and wobbly, and the vomiting didn’t stop. But their family had just moved from Mexico City two years earlier, so they didn’t have health insurance yet and couldn’t afford to pay for much without it.

So Maria López took her son to the one place she knew they could get care for free.

She has chosen to identify her and her son by their middle names to protect their identities.

When they arrived at Volunteers in Medicine, a clinic located right next to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, staff members helped them get into contact with a pediatric doctor at Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health. Eventually José was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, a rare infection caused by a tick bite.

If Maria had decided to wait it out much longer, José could have ended up with brain damage or died.

“I didn’t know what was going on,” she said. “They really helped me to save my son’s life.”

This was about 12 years ago, but Volunteers in Medicine is still the only clinic in Bloomington providing care to uninsured patients. And

these days, it’s only getting harder to help those like José.

All undocumented immigrants and those who have had legal status for fewer than five years are ineligible for health care through the Affordable Care Act, leaving them to rely on private insurance or none at all.

In Bloomington, this leaves a significant portion, particularly those who are low income, with the clinic as their only option.

From the beginning of President Trump’s campaign, he has called for increased restrictions on immigration and blamed immigrants for crime and unemployment. As he has moved through his first two years of presidency, rhetoric and national policy continue to be pitted against immigrants — and the clinic is feeling the repercussions.

Shelley Sallee, Volunteers in Medicine assistant director, who began working at the clinic in 2008, said she wasn’t expecting it to be like this.

“I’ve never worked in a place that relied so heavily on the political environment,” she said. “You know, we don’t want to be political, we just want to take care of people.”

Sallee has noticed that more than ever, many patients are hesitant to fill out confidential paperwork, such as the emergency Medicaid forms that will help them get affordable care in life-threatening circumstances.

“They’re afraid that will open them up to deporta-

tion, even though it says in the law that they cannot use that information to instigate any kind of deportation,” she said. “But they don’t trust that.”

Although Maria López is a legal resident of the U.S. now, she still feels this fear sometimes.

Some patients bypass the clinic completely and only visit the emergency room as a last resort, but sometimes this can be more harmful than helpful. Samantha Eads, a nurse practitioner at the clinic, knows this from her previous job at an ER. In the ER, a simple illness can become pricey when doctors are required to conduct a number of required tests before the patient can be released.

“They would come in with maybe a rash or some reflux, things that had simple

answers but became complicated because of the setting,” Eads said. “There is this saying that in primary care they play to win, in emergency medicine they play not to lose.”

In 2016, Eads decided to leave her ER profession for the clinic.

“I wanted to treat people proactively rather than letting them wait until the last minute when they were scared,” she said. “I wanted to be part of the solution.”

Taylor Kelley, who specializes in health care policy research at the University of Michigan, said the need for accessible health care for undocumented immigrants is greater now than ever before.

This is not necessarily because there is an increase in those entering the country, he said, but because so many

people who are here legally are losing their protected status and are waiting for the government to decide on their future.

In the meantime, even more are left without access to health care.

“If you have a room full of hungry kids and one who isn’t eating, that’s where the greatest need is,” Kelley said.

“That kid is the undocumented population.”

Starting last year, the clinic has been facing a new challenge. In September, the Trump administration announced adjustments to the so-called Public Charge regulation that would make it more difficult for immigrants receiving government assistance to qualify for green cards to work legally in the U.S. Right now, the rule only applies to immigrants on a

benefit known as Supplemental Security Income.

But the Trump administration wants to expand that program to cover immigrants also receiving food stamps, housing subsidies and most types of Medicaid.

Critics believe this will force millions of people to choose between government assistance and legal status. The changes have not taken effect yet, but many predict they will within the year.

“That changes a lot,” Eads said. “It makes people afraid to ask for help, and it not only affects their wellbeing but their dignity.”

On top of national policy changes, the clinic has smaller-scale problems of its own.

Goodfellas Pizzeria to open in Bloomington

By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

Kirkwood Avenue will be getting a little slice of New York in March.

Goodfellas Pizzeria, a Lexington, Kentucky-made pizza chain, will be moving into Bluetique’s old location on Kirkwood Avenue.

“My family is from Long Island, New York, and we wanted to bring true authentic New York-style pizza by the slice to Lexington, and we started it and it kind of took off,” owner Alex Coats said.

The Bloomington location will be their seventh.

The first location was in Lexington, where Coats and co-owner Eric Boggs graduated from University of Kentucky.

Five years later, they opened up a second location in Lexington, then two in Cincinnati and two in Indianapolis.

Coats said he likes the energy and vibe of Bloomington and thinks it’s the perfect place for their type of business.

“We saw there was a need for a true authentic New York-style pizza by the slice in a late night concept,” he said.

This was also the inspiration behind the original

location. Coats and Boggs, saw a need in Lexington because there were few options to get pizza after leaving the bars at night.

On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, Goodfellas stays open until around 3 a.m. to combat this common problem.

When Coats and Boggs first started out, they only had the location open at night because they were still working their day jobs.

But, it became popular enough that they ended up opening it full time.

Goodfellas Pizzeria offers three different sizes of pizza, including a 22-inch pizza. Coats said it takes up the whole table when it’s ordered.

People can either come and sit in the restaurant or pick a single slice of pizza and go.

General manager Jimmy Gadd started working with the company four years ago rolling dough.

“Once I noticed the family atmosphere of the company and all the people that worked there, and I got to meet the owners for the first time I was locked in,” Gadd said.

Now, he has helped train employees for three locations, and Blooming-

ton will be the fourth.

He teaches new employees how to make the dough and do dough tricks.

“They put on a show,” he said. “They have a lot of fun with the customers which is something we’re big on.”

Though all their buildings are made with the same materials and have photos of gangsters, Frank Sinatra and New York City adorning the walls, Coats said they try to make each store feel like a local place.

They do this by getting involved in the local community through charity work and donations.

The involvement with the community started before they were even opened. Though the owners knew they wanted to open pizzeria because Coats has an Italian heritage, the name and types of pizza were decided on by friends and Lexington locals.

The owners and their friends came up with a basic list of name ideas but went into local bars and had patrons vote on their favorite name and Goodfellas won.

“Goodfellas was actually a pizzeria created by the people around us,” Coats said.

Goodfellas Pizzeria is set to open 11 a.m. Feb 28. It is located at 427 E. Kirkwood Ave., next to the newlyopened Five Guys.

Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Indiana, takes the stage at the beginning of the midterm election watch party Nov. 6 in Indianapolis. Donnelly lost the Senate race to Mike Braun.

» DONNELLY CONTINUED FROM PAGE C1 His loss came on the heels of tough campaigning from both sides of the aisle in one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country given that the state voted for President Trump in 2016.

In the week leading up to the election, Trump visited the state twice to stump for Braun. Former President Obama visited once, speaking in Gary, Indiana, where some of Donnelly’s strongest 2012 numbers originated.

In the hour before Donnelly conceded, the mood in the room shifted. At 8:40

» BRAUN CONTINUED FROM PAGE C1 the night. Cheering began around 8:45 p.m. when some news outlets began projecting victory for Braun and continued as more outlets projected wins for Braun and other Republican candidates.

Many supporters at the election night event said they voted for Braun because he supported Trump.

The audience cheered every time Trump was mentioned. At least a dozen bright red Make America Great Again hats stood out in the crowd.

“He’s going to be there for Trump,” said Trent Cole, 38,

p.m., Indianapolis resident Julian Winborn said he was cautiously optimistic about the outcome.

Margaret and Don Banning, also of Indianapolis, spent the morning getting out the vote as team captains for the Democratic Party.

Margaret Banning said she had many progressive friends who were open to donating to Democratic causes, but this year, she told them it was about more than opening up their checkbook.

“When it comes down to winning elections, it’s about who gets the vote out,” she said.

Before Donnelly de-

livered his concession remarks, U.S. Rep. André Carson, D-7th District — who won re-election Tuesday — gave his victory speech. In his remarks, he addressed Donnelly’s loss.

“You will never outwork Joe Donnelly. We love Joe,” Carson said. “They threw everything, including the kitchen sink, at Joe Donnelly, and he did not move.”

He told the crowd they would be hearing from Donnelly again, leaving open the possibility of the senator making a reappearance in Indiana politics.

“God bless you,” Donnelly said at the end of his remarks. “Thanks for letting me be your senator.”

of Lafayette.

The confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court seemed to be a galvanizing issue for many Braun supporters. Cole called Democrats’ treatment of Kavanaugh throughout the confirmation process a “disgrace.”

Cynthia Luster, 60, of Indianapolis, said she thinks the Kavanaugh hearings influenced many Republicans to turn out for the midterm elections.

“The one thing I would love to see change in politics is that it’s gotten way too nasty on both sides,” Braun said.

“It should be about ideas, about what you bring to the table.”

Elise Johnson, 30, of Indianapolis identifies “in the middle” politically, she said.

She voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential election, but said she thinks Trump has done a good job so far.

She said she voted for Braun because she doesn’t trust Donnelly, calling him a flip-flopper.

Braun’s 15-month campaign was full of early mornings and long days, Braun said. But, he thanked Hoosiers for supporting him and said he would do it over again.

“Truly dear,” Braun said to his wife on stage, “We’ve lived the American Dream.”

Teter and Cutters win 2019 Little 500 Teter sprints to first on the final lap to win the 32nd women’s Little 500 on Friday

By D.J. Fezler djfezler@iu.edu | @DJFezler

It was a two-person race on the final lap of the 2019 women’s Little 500.

The spring featured the fastest riders from Individual Time Trials.

Just like at ITTs, Teter’s Lauren Britt outpaced Delta Gamma’s Hannah Coppens to pedal past the checkered flag in first place.

The finish was reminiscent of last year’s race when Kappa Alpha Theta’s Rachel Brown sped past the field to earn the team’s fourth victory in five years.

That moment has resonated with Teter’s senior until today.

“I was also on the bike at the end of the race last year, and I remember seeing Rachel Brown speed past me,” Britt said. “I’ve had that memory in my head for a whole year, and I owe it to her for showing me what hard work is. I just feel like I’m dreaming still, and it’s a dream come true.”

Teter hasn’t won the Little 500 since its back-to-back victories in 2010 and 2011. Delta Gamma came in second place for the second year in a row.

Despite the exciting finish, it wasn’t close through the first 75 laps. SKI — with the pole position — led by as much as 20 seconds after breaking away from Delta Gamma, Teter and Alpha Chi Omega.

Delta Gamma and Teter were involved in a small crash while the race was under a yellow flag.

This widened the gap between SKI

and the rest of the field.

SKI was dominant and took advantage of the mistakes but couldn’t keep the pace as Delta Gamma and Teter slowly inched back into contention.

“There was a time that we were down probably about a half lap on SKI,” Teter freshman Corrine Miller said. “We just worked with some other teams and then gave some really hard sets and got back up there.”

Teter was confident heading into the race after placing second in Qualification. Britt said she had been waiting to have the opportunity to win.

“It wasn’t like we had to hold on to hope,and then it just happened,” Britt said. “Once we were there, there was no shaking us after that amount of work.”

In the last 10 laps, it was a three-way race between Teter, SKI and Delta Gamma.

But heading into the final lap, SKI fell back from the lead, leaving Delta Gamma and Teter with one final sprint to decide the victor.

The difference between first and second place was less than a second.

At the end of the race, Britt said her legs felt like bricks.

SKI finished the race in third place after leading for most of the way. Britt finishes her IU racing career a winner, and three of the team’s four riders will return next year.

“It feels unbelievable, and I’ve accomplished my dream,” Britt said. “The very next thing I’m thinking of is, ‘How can I get these girls to be able to feel this again next year?’”

Cutters wins second straight men’s Little 500 title, 14th in the team’s history

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

There were four words that William Huibregtse told his son with the men’s Little 500 almost two weeks away.

“Win this damn race.”

On April 7, William Huibregste passed away after a year-long fight with leukemia.

Less than a week later, Cutters junior Greg Huibregtse and the rest of his team did exactly what his father wanted them to do – win the 69th running of the men’s Little 500.

It was Cutters’ second title in a row and its 14th overall, the most in Little 500 history.

“We wanted it not because we’re a competitive team, but we’re personally invested in this race,” Greg Huibregtse said.

“It felt really good, just kind of like a really satisfying release of emotion trying to stay focused and stay fresh. We did what we wanted to do and just thinking about my dad and racing.”

Heading into the final lap of the race, Phi Kappa Psi had a healthy lead over Cutters and Black Key Bulls but elected to make an exchange. It was a move that surprised Cutters and people gasped and were confused by the decision in the stands.

After the race, Cutters riders said they heard the rider didn’t have the legs to finish the race and that’s why Phi Kappa Psi elected to swap out riders with the decent advantage over the pack.

“Phi Psi, we had them on our radar, but they just rode an amazing race and pushed us until the end,” Cutters Coach

Bob Knight returns to campus to watch IU baseball game

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

Former IU men’s basketball coach Bob Knight returned to IU’s campus Saturday afternoon to take in a baseball game at Bart Kaufman Field.

The 78-year-old Knight arrived prior to the start of IU’s afternoon doubleheader against Penn State, marking his first public and most visible appearance on campus since he was fired in September 2000 and spoke to a crowd in Dunn Meadow.

He entered the stadium on a golf cart driven by an IU official, and was followed in another golf cart by former Herald-Times sports editor

Bob Hammel and IU Deputy Director of Athletics Scott Dolson.

Knight watched the game from a suite inside the stadium press box.

As he entered the suite, Knight said “it’s nice being here.”

During his time at IU, Knight led the men’s basketball program to three national championships over his 29-year career.

The Hoosiers also reached five Final Fours under Knight and won 11 Big Ten Regular Season titles.

IU Athletic Director Fred Glass told the Herald-Times in a text message he was happy to help Knight attend the baseball game, but hadn’t talked to him yet and didn’t expect to.

Last week, Knight and Hammel spoke at Center Grove High School in Greenwood, Indiana, as part of the event “An Evening With Bob Knight.”

Similar events occurred in recent years in locations around the state, including at Bloomington High School South and Bloomington High School North.

Last year, an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, “The Last Days of Knight,” was released chronicling Knight’s downfall and dismissal from IU. In a 2017 interview on “The Dan Patrick Show,” Knight said he would have “no interest in ever going back to that university,” referencing IU.

FOOTBALL

IU announces it will sell alcohol at Memorial Stadium this fall

By Jared Kelly jaakelly@iu.edu

IU’s football program has undergone many changes this offseason, both internally and around Memorial Stadium, and it can now add the selling of beer and wine to that list.

On Tuesday afternoon, IU announced that beginning this fall, Memorial Stadium will offer fans the opportunity to purchase alcohol during games.

“Our main goals with this initiative are to enhance the gameday experience for our fans and reduce alcohol-related incidents in and around the stadium,” IU Athletic Director Fred Glass said in a press release.

This comes shortly after the athletic department hired an inde-

pendent commission to study the effects of alcohol on overall gameday experience.

The commission studied roughly 50 different schools including Ohio State, which showed a 65% decrease in alcohol-related incidents during its first year of selling alcohol.

The results depicted similar decreases in alcohol-related incidents at numerous other schools as well.

“While there will be some comparatively modest revenue generated by these sales, that is not the primary purpose of this program,” Glass said. “Ten percent of our net beer and wine public sales revenues will be given to campus for alcohol safety programming.”

Additionally, the athletic de-

partment announced it would work in tandem with IU’s Superintendent of Public Safety in order to facilitate a safer gameday environment.

No sales prices or specific third-party vendors have been disclosed to the public at this time, though Glass mentioned that the change would be a pilot program that would help decide on similar policies for other IU events in the future.

Currently, IU does sell alcohol inside Assembly Hall during basketball home games, but only at select locations.

With the reversal of a decadeslong alcohol-free policy, IU now joins Illinois, Minnesota, Maryland, Ohio State and Purdue as the only Big Ten schools to offer alcohol at football games.

Jim Kirkham said. “Who knows why, but the race picked us again.”

That exchange gave Black Key Bulls senior Xavier Martinez and Cutters senior Noble Guyon an opportunity to catch up.

Guyon was on the wheel of Martinez going around turn four but made his move heading into the final stretch.

With Bears also closing in, Guyon went around the right side of Martinez to cross the finish line.

“I was pretty surprised,” Guyon said.

“If they didn’t exchange, we thought they would’ve had it. I was able to get on Xavier’s wheel and commit to waiting.”

Last year, Guyon was on the bike with 20 laps to go and won with a sprint at the end to edge out Gray Goat. It ended a sixyear title drought for the program.

This year, he got on the bike with five laps remaining and sprinted his way to the end again against Martinez. Cutters only edged out Bears by less than three-tenths of a second.

“I had enough to get around him at the end and get him at the line,” Guyon said. “It was a really stressful final five laps.”

When Guyon finished the sprint and crossed the finish line, he told Huibregtse that the win was for his father.

“It’s been a really heavy week with the excitement of race day and losing a family member,” Guyon said. “We just wanted to support him all week and on race day. We really wanted to win it for his dad. We know he would’ve loved to have been here to watch him do it.”

CHEERLEADING

IU Crimson all-girl cheerleading claims sixth national title

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

The IU Crimson all-girl cheerleading team was crowned national champions Sunday night at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

The Hoosiers placed first in the All Girl Division IA at the UCA & UDA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship.

The competition is tabbed as the most prestigious college cheerleading championship in the country. This year was the 25th anniversary.

Last year, the Hoosiers came in fifth place. It was just the second time in seven years the Hoosiers didn’t win the national championship. That loss snapped a two-year title streak.

“It’s almost something that we needed because we had a team this year full of hard-working peo-

ple,” junior Claudia Bradley said.

“I think it’s hard because you need to keep that hard-working mentality every year, but how do you keep doing that when you haven’t failed? I think we all know what it was like, so in the future we just have to understand how good it felt to get something back and how hard we pushed ourselves to do it.”

The teams who placed behind IU this year were San Diego State University, Florida State University, the University of Oklahoma and the University of South Florida.

IU also won national championships in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017.

“Starting this season, we were really motivated because last year was so unfortunate, but we had a lot of hardships last year that we had to push back,” Bradley said. “We just talked about if we wanted this really bad, we had to push harder and we were motivated from the beginning to turn ourselves around completely and rise up.”

Former IU football player Jim McDonald holds his blue IU hat Oct. 17 outside Memorial Stadium. The hat, which is monogramed with “The Dickens Boys” on the side, calls back to the blue jerseys then-IU coach Phil Dickens had the team wear during the 1958 and 1959 seasons.

Bleeding Blue

New coach, jerseys helped 1958 team to Big Ten success

By Stefan Krajisnik stefkraj@iu.edu | @skrajisnik3

Members of the 1958 IU football team stood on the field of Memorial Stadium on Sept. 15.

On their heads sat powder blue hats that mirrored the jerseys former IU Coach Phil Dickens had his 1958 team wear in hopes of turning the program’s fortunes around.

Coming off an 18-0 loss at Notre Dame to start the season, the Hoosiers ran out to face West Virginia wearing those blue jerseys rather than the usual cream and crimson.

Players were confused after the jersey box was opened, but they went ahead with the concept.

“I think it was a boost,” former player Tom Kendrick said. “My impression was, we’re a different team. We were whoever we wanted to be.”

Fans were surprised as well, but after years of struggles the “Dickens Boys” closed out the season with an overall record of 5-3-1 and 3-2-1 in the Big Ten. The style of play was different then, so many of the final scores were in the single digits with IU barely sneaking by. That small advantage could have came from the spirit of the jerseys.

“It made a difference,” Kendrick said. “Who knows by how much, but we were winning games by one point, so maybe it made enough of a difference to put us over the edge.”

Sixty years later, those hats resembled the blue-collar nature of many of the players. It resembled the confidence and unique personality of Dickens.

It resembled the bond that kept the team together even after 60 years passed — years that included wars, marriage, grandchildren and funerals of former teammates and

coaches.

“One of our teammates, in his final months of suffering various ailments before turning fatal, wore his blue hat every day, all day long,” Kendrick said in a letter to the Indiana Daily Student. “So, you see, the hats and what they symbolize, are still important to us.”

The bond is something even fans and members of the Indiana University Alumni Association who were not around for the Dickens era still notice.

“It’s a good implication of what makes these guys special, because they were able to do something so unique like that,” Director of the I

French Studies at IU

Association Brian Brase said.

Dickens came to IU in 1957 after spending time at the University of Wyoming, but he could not coach IU until 1958 due to recruiting violations.

He was forced to coach in an era that had rules limiting how many substitutions could be made in a game. As a result, players were forced to play all three aspects.

Kendrick often found himself playing quarterback, tailback, kicker and various positions on defense.

Freshmen were not allowed to play in their first season, but they spent most of their time at practice playing against the regular starters.

That did not stop Dickens from being tough on his team.

In 1959, members of the team approached captain Ted Smith asking him to convince an assistant coach to take it easier on the them.

Smith approached Dickens about the issues, in which Dickens said he would take care of the issue himself.

Dickens went to the assistant and told him to push the team even harder.

“He had a soft side, but he got things done,” Smith said.

After the final home game of the 1958 season, IU traveled to Michigan for the first of two road games to close out the season.

The Hoosiers had only beaten the Wolverines once since 1946.

Michigan wore its home navy blue uniforms, which meant IU could not wear its powder blues.

The Hoosiers still wore blue shirts underneath their white jerseys, and the football gods seemed to be on their side.

“He went out and got some cheaply dyed blue T-shirts to wear under our pads,” former player Jim McDonald said. “With the sweat coming through on the white jerseys — in fact there was even a little rain — these blotches of light blue came out all over the jerseys. And we won.”

Following the game, then-IU President Herman B Wells was presented with the game ball that he had sitting in his office for many years afterward.

“It was a great victory, one that will ever be a shining page in our athletic history,” Wells said in a letter to Smith. “I thank you and am grateful to you and your colleagues for remembering me.”

The win over Michigan marked the fourth straight win against a school whose name started with the letter ‘M’ — Miami, Minnesota, Michigan State and Michigan — which lead to the IDS running a headline reading “Beat Murdue” before the final game.

The game ended in a 15-15 tie, but the spirit of the Dickens Boys stayed just as strong.

And those spirits remain high as the current IU football team wraps up its season in hopes of reaching a bowl game.

“Our best wishes go to the current team who have been playing as a team that does the right things,” Kendrick said in his letter. “We think they will continue to do well.

We doff our blue hats to them.”

Ohio State’s response to the Urban Meyer scandal is appalling Ben Portnoy is a graduate in journalism.

STEVEN LIN | IDS

Chaser Adam Bailey tosses the quaffle into the goal during a scrimmage. Quidditch is a game based off the “Harry Potter” series by J.K. Rowling, where players “fly” on broomsticks and either try to toss quaffles (volleyballs) to score or knock them out with a bludger (dodgeball) while others try to catch a snitch.

IU’s quidditch club to play first home tournament near Fee Lane

By Julia Locanto jlocanto@iu.edu

You probably know quidditch as a sport from the magical world of Harry Potter, where wizards fly around on broomsticks throwing bludgers and attempting to catch the golden snitch. The IU quidditch team, however, takes the sport out of the fantasy series and onto the field.

IU’s quidditch team is welcoming a new coach this year, Traeger Duratti. Duratti got involved with quidditch when he attended a summer camp that played the game, and he fell in love with the sport. He created his own team to play, and coached at several universities for five years before coming to IU this fall.

The team is kicking off

its 2018 season with its first tournament from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 22 at 1200 N. Fee Lane.

Quidditch only became an official club sport at IU in September 2014. The team already has 30 players this semester, double the number of players from last year.

The game of quidditch has evolved since it first became popular.

“Three to four years ago, it shifted from Harry Potter superfans to a legitimate athletic sport,” said Duratti.

IU’s team is registered with U.S. Quidditch and is an affiliate of the International Quidditch Association.

“Overall, quidditch is on the verge of becoming a varsity sport,” Duratti said. “My job is to build a foundation here so the team can grow and continue coming up

with their own ideas for the sport.”

The game is a mixture of dodgeball and rugby, according to sophomore Lexi Lee, a member of the quidditch team.

“The main idea is that each team has six players on the field all working together to either score in or defend the hoops,” she said.

Each player has a job, either as a chaser, beater, seeker, keeper or as the golden snitch. The seekers attempt to catch and tag the person playing the snitch; if they do, the game ends. In the Harry Potter series, the snitch is a ball with wings, but in this game it is another player.

The keepers act like goalies at the three hoops, chasers score and beaters defend their team by eliminating chasers with a dodgeball,

which is referred to as a bludger. Each player must also have a “broom stick” — a PVC pipe — between their legs to make the game more difficult.

The team practices on Woodlawn Field, and will be participating in several other tournaments after the season kicks off Sept. 22.

With its growing popularity, not only at IU but across the country, quidditch has expanded to 85 registered teams in the U.S. for the 201819 season as of Sept. 18. According to Duratti, the team is accepting of all people and is a co-ed team, creating a welcoming environment.

“It’s unlike anything else,” Duratti said. “With quidditch, at any given time you have two to three different games going on at once that make up a bigger game.”

coach denied knowing some of his players had received improper benefits from a local tattoo parlor.

He was subsequently caught in his fib and lost his job on account of it.

As for Meyer, he was similarly conniving in his handling of the Zach Smith saga. At Big Ten media day on July 24, one day after reporter Brett McMurphy released his initial findings on the case and just hours after Smith was fired as a result, he vehemently and falsely denied any knowledge of a 2015 controversy involving Smith and the Powell, Ohio police.

“Once again, there’s nothing – once again, I don’t know who creates a story like that,” Meyer said.

Mary Jo White, one of the university’s lead investigators, characterized these comments in a less than reassuring way.

“While those denials were plainly not accurate, Coach Meyer did not, in our view, deliberately lie,” White said last week.

Translation: Meyer lied about whether he knew of the 2015 investigation into Smith, but Ohio State determined he did not tell this lie on purpose. Therefore, it was an acceptable response.

Wait, what?

It gets better.

“We also learned during the investigation that Coach Meyer has sometimes had significant memory issues in other situations where he had prior extensive knowledge of events,” the report stated. “He has also periodically taken medicine that can negatively impair his memory, concentration, and focus.”

Ohio State University head football coach Urban Meyer sat stoically as school president Michael V. Drake announced his three game suspension in wake of an investigation into his handling of the domestic abuse scandal involving former-wide receiver coach Zach Smith.

Following remarks from both Drake and athletic director Gene Smith, Meyer delivered a prepared statement. He remarked on, “how challenging this was for our community,” and that he “wanted to apologize to Buckeye nation.”

Over the course of almost 20 minutes of questioning, Meyer apologized to Courtney Smith, the alleged victim of Zach Smith’s abuse, a grand total of zero times.

In analyzing Meyer’s placid apology, the scene drew vibes eerily reminiscent of former head coach Jim Tressel’s bluntly indifferent address in the midst “Tattoo-gate.”

“I don’t think less of myself at this moment,” Tressel said in March 2011 when questioned about how the scandal would affect his reputation.

Retrospectively, neither coach adequately discussed their misdeeds. But as it relates to Meyer, to characterize his purported disregard for someone in distress and Ohio State’s callous response as deplorable is almost too light a word. Frankly, it’s appalling.

In the circumstances of Tressel’s run-in with Ohio State administrators and the NCAA, the nail in his proverbial coffin was that FINISH THE STORY ONLINE AT he lied. The former head IDSNEWS.COM/FRESHMAN

Hoosiers take home Big Ten Tournament title

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

WESTFIELD, Ind. – With six minutes and 18 seconds remaining, IU senior midfielder Francesco Moore went toward the IU bench.

It was the first opportunity he had all day to rest as he was being substituted for senior midfielder Trevor Swartz.

Instead of taking a seat to catch his breath, Moore embraced every single coach and player on the IU sideline, with his team just minutes away from clinching the Big Ten Tournament title.

IU defeated Michigan 3-0 on Sunday Grand Park to claim its first “Big Ten Dou-

ble,” winning both the conference tournament and regular season titles, since 2006.

The Big Ten Tournament title was also the 13th overall in program history.

“Just having a moment with a couple of the seniors that were off the field, just telling them how proud I was.

It was good,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said.

After being away from the team for the first two games of the tournament, sophomore midfielder Griffin Dorsey was back into the starting lineup for IU in the championship match. It was an earlier-than-expected arrival, as he was participating in the CONCACAF Under-20 Championship with the U-20

United States National Team.

Dorsey made his presence felt, as he had four shots and a pair of assists in 54 minutes played. He constantly applied pressure to the Michigan defense and was giving IU the offensive firepower it sometimes lacked when he was out of the lineup.

“We were all pretty excited when we got the news from the national team. He was pretty excited to come back and help us,” Yeagley said.

“I don’t know if it would’ve been more difficult, I certainly feel like we could’ve got the job done, but he helped us.”

Senior midfielder Cory Thomas was named the Most Outstanding Offensive Player of the Tournament and se-

nior defender Andrew Gutman earned Most Outstanding Defensive Player of the Tournament honors.

After scoring the gamewinning penalty kick in the semifinals against Maryland, Thomas was able to give IU the early lead within the first seven minutes of Sunday’s match.

Swartz sent a shot into the Michigan penalty box, but it was saved by the Michigan goalkeeper. Then, Dorsey fired a rebound shot, which was also deflected to the ground by the goalkeeper.

Finally, the ball bounced perfectly off the ground to Thomas, who was able to just tap it into the net.

“It was a pretty easy goal,

but the magnitude of it was definitely high,” Thomas said.

“I was pretty excited. It was a great play from Trevor to put a nice shot on goal. I can thank my teammates for that one.”

The second half saw the Hoosiers put away the Wolverines for good. Senior midfielder Jeremiah Gutjahr had his first goal of the season in the 72nd minute with a diving header from seven yards out. Then, senior midfielder Austin Panchot created a turnover roughly two minutes later and sent a cross toward sophomore midfielder Spencer Glass, who flicked the ball in from close range past the goalkeeper.

Following the match, Gutman told his teammates to put on their black and blue tournament champion shirts and hats.

As they began to pose as a team in front of the championship banner, Gutman came running around his teammates to lay next to the trophy.

The Hoosiers didn’t know whether to hold up either one or two fingers to recognize the tournament title by itself, or the completion of the second goal the team established to start the season by winning the conference tournament.

Gutman had the answer.

“Hell yeah boys, hold up two,” Gutman said.

FOOTBALL

New offensive coordinator confident in IU

By Ben Portnoy

bmportno@iu.edu | @bportnoy15

As IU Head Coach Tom Allen stood at the podium in the Memorial Stadium Team Room, Kalen DeBoer sat anxiously.

Boasting a wry smile, the new offensive coordinator nervously cracked his knuckles at each mention of his football résumé.

With thinning blond hair and standing roughly 6 feet tall, DeBoer’s appearance mimics that of a drill sergeant.

Yet his voice is youthful and upbeat.

A Midwesterner by birth, his sunny disposition and tan skin reflect the past two years he spent at California State University, Fresno.

But now back in the region that gave him his start, DeBoer is prepared to take IU football to the next level.

“I’m from South Dakota, lived in southern Illinois, lived up in Michigan,” DeBoer said. “This is kind of like right in between those two stops. And so coming out here, it’s exciting. It’s another place for my family to see. It’s a place that I’ve heard nothing but great things about here in Bloomington. So fired up about that.”

While DeBoer had no real connection to the IU program, the fit is a logical one.

When former offensive coordinator Mike DeBord resigned in late December, Allen said he wanted to see himself in his new assistant.

Enter DeBoer.

For one, both he and Allen come from small college backgrounds.

Following his collegiate coaching debut at Wabash College, Allen moved on to Lambuth University in Jackson, Tennessee, where he served as the assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Also coaching at the NAIA level at the time was

DeBoer.

After an All-American career as a wide receiver at the University of Sioux Falls, DeBoer served as the team’s head coach from 2005 to 2009. During that span, USF won three NAIA National Championships, while boasting a 67-3 record.

“They were basically the ones winning all the games and winning all the championships in our division there and had a lot of respect for him from a distance and got to know him through that process,” Allen said.

Logistically, Allen was a staunch proponent of keeping his offensive assistants in place. With DeBoer, the entire offensive staff is ex-

pected to return.

“Those were the guys I brought here with when I took over as head coach and guys I believe in, and to be able to find a guy that wants to come here and fit in with those guys and lead them was very important for sure.”

As for the on-field product, Allen’s tenure at IU has been highlighted by a defensive renaissance of sorts.

The Hoosiers boasted one of the worst defenses in college football during the Kevin Wilson era. But since Allen arrived as defensive coordinator in 2016, IU has been in the top-60 in total defense twice.

However, the high-flying

offenses that highlighted Wilson’s time in Bloomington have dissipated.

In two years as offensive coordinator, DeBord guided a largely anemic group.

The Hoosiers finished No. 78 and No. 88 in total offense nationally in 2017 and 2018, respectively — a stark contrast from a 2015 unit that finished No. 25 in the country.

That said, DeBoer is no stranger to offensive turnarounds.

After a 1-11 record the year before he arrived at Fresno State, the Bulldogs finished the 2018 season 122, capped off by a Las Vegas Bowl win over Arizona State University.

Beyond the records, DeBoer’s offenses were vastly improved. The Bulldogs moved from No. 120 nationally in total offense during the 2016 season to No. 47 after his second year.

On paper, DeBoer inherits a young IU offense not lacking for weapons.

Having already proved himself a quarterback whisperer of sorts with Fresno State signal caller Marcus McMaryion, he figures to have a major impact on a quarterback room that includes incumbent starter junior Peyton Ramsey, redshirt freshman Michael Penix and University of Utah transfer redshirt freshman Jack Tuttle.

SAM HOUSE | IDS

“He’s been able to do a tremendous job of going multiple places and having success and being able to be a part of some impressive turnarounds,” Allen said.

“And it takes a special person to be able to create that kind of change.”

Closing out his opening press conference, DeBoer highlighted his football journey. On a meandering path that started in a small town in South Dakota, his coaching trajectory has brought him to a Big Ten bottom feeder in need of an offensive resurgence.

DeBoer is confident he’s up for the challenge.

“They’re going to get everything I have,” he said.

SWIMMING AND DIVING

King’s legacy will last forever at IU

By Matt Cohen

mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

T

he shoes of Lilly King are going to be nearly impossible to fill.

No one else on the team wears Crocs on the awards podium.

Her time swimming for IU came to a victorious close March 23 in Austin, Texas as she rose from the water after winning her race. She looked back at the crowd and held up eight fingers.

King had won the 200-yard breaststroke at the 2019 NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships. It marked her final collegiate race and her eighth NCAA title.

Each of King’s eight fingers represented one of her national championships as she solidified herself as the winningest female breaststroker in NCAA history.

It wasn’t always that easy.

When King was 7 and started swimming, she wasn’t winning races.

“She was not good when she started,” King’s mother, Ginny, said. “It took her probably three years before she could beat people.”

Her love of the sport kept her with it.

She began to work harder than the other swimmers, a trait that has followed her through her life.

“Seeing who I could catch at the next race, checking people’s names off a list or just getting faster, beating the boys in practice, those little things all added up and that’s why I am where I am today,” King said.

At 12, King swam in her age group state title meet. It was a day that changed her life.

“All day I was saying, ‘I’m gonna win, I’m gonna win,’” King said. “I think that one race taught me if I really believe in myself, I can do anything I put my mind to.”

King won the age group state title, signaling to her and those around her that her work had paid off, her ability as a

swimmer finally coming to fruition.

“That was the first indication that like, ‘Oh, she might be pretty good,’” Ginny King said.

After getting the first taste of a major victory, King wasn’t about to relinquish it. * * * King may never have been the most talented swimmer growing up, but she was determined to outwork everyone.

“That really stuck with her that she could outwork other people,” Ginny King said. “She’ll race anybody, it doesn’t really matter. When she was a kid she’d race the boys, she’d race the big kids it didn’t matter.”

King’s work ethic was unparalleled, said David Baumeyer, her coach at F.J. Reitz High School in Evansville, Indiana.

Reitz never had high-end facilities — or even its own pool. The entire swim team got just four lanes a day at Lloyd Pool, a public pool in Evansville, and often had to share time. The facilities were in disrepair, King said. She didn’t even have her own locker.Even with the obstacles to her development that Lloyd Pool presented, King continued to get faster.

She broke the Indiana high school state record in the 100 breaststroke and swam in multiple Junior National events.

King’s name was becoming well-known to college coaches.

Having competed at numerous national meets and dominating Indiana high school swimming, King was a sought after recruit. She made a list of what she was looking for in a school. She wanted a school where the men’s and women’s teams shared a head coach. The head coach also had to be the breaststroke coach. Most importantly, King wanted

a school that would help her prepare for the 2016 Olympics, set to take place after her freshman year.

The University of Tennessee fit all of those requirements for King and quickly became one of her favorites.

IU Head Coach Ray Looze wasn’t going to let a top in-state talent like King head south to Knoxville, Tennessee. No coach worked harder to recruit King than Looze.

“When she was born, I talked to her mother,” Looze joked. “Whatever the NCAA limit for visits is, I did that. There’s a joke that maybe I should have gotten an apartment down in Evansville.”

“Ray was just absolutely persistent,” King said. “I can’t say it any other way.

He was always calling. You could only call once a week, so once a week every week.

On July 1, which was the first time that we could have in-person contact, he was at my doorstep at 10 a.m.”

Eventually, Looze was able to convince King to take a visit to Bloomington.

IU had a meet against Tennessee that day, and while Looze was able to get her on campus, King wasn’t there to see IU, at

least not at first.

“I expecting to really fall in love with how Tennessee was, and it was the complete opposite,” King said.

King got the chance to see IU’s campus and interact with the coaching staff.

But it was the meet itself that changed King’s mind.

“Then I got to watch the team on deck at a meet and it totally changed my rankings as far as what schools I was going to,” King said. “That was a big turning point for me in the recruiting process.”

Inside of a Walmart with her mother, King said she didn’t want to go on a trip they had planned to visit the University of Florida. She had made up her mind. She was going to IU. “She’s somebody that’s just true to herself,” Ginny King said. “She took a lot of flak when she went to Indiana initially.

‘Why didn’t you go to Texas, why didn’t you go to Cal?’ She kind of stood on her own and made that decision.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Royster leaves quiet but meaningful legacy

By Dylan Wallace dswallac@iu.edu | @Dwall_1

All four roads around Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall were backed up on March 3,and one of the gridlocked cars belonged to the family of Kym Royster, who would soon be playing her final home game as a Hoosier.

With 5,857 eager fans ready to send off their Hoosiers to the postseason, Royster’s mother and other family members weren’t going to make it in time for the pregame Senior Day festivities: Walking up to center court with Royster, hugging the coaches and posing for a picture with Royster’s framed uniform.

The pregame ceremony was going to be short that day, as just Royster and fellow senior Grace Withrow were being honored. Withrow went first, and as she walked up, Royster’s family still hadn’t been able to get past security in time.

She elected to have Director of Basketball Operations Liz Honegger walk up with her as Assembly Hall Public Address announcer Chuck Crabb listed off Royster’s accomplishments, ranging everywhere from her GPA to her points per game averages.

The only person who wasn’t listening to the accolades Crabb listed off was Royster. Once she had reached IU Coach Teri Moren, the two embraced one another, hugging for 10 seconds.

Royster pulled away from the hug, wiping away tears before they streaked down her face. It wasn’t the end, but it was a premature goodbye to her coach.

It was the last time she would play in Assembly Hall with her coaches and teammates. Royster will leave as the all-time winningest player in program history but perhaps more importantly, the first four-year recruit under Moren and her staff since they came to Bloomington in 2014.

CLAIRE LIVINGSTON | IDS

Sophomore Jaelynn Penn and senior Kym Royster box out freshman Christina Britter on Nov. 25 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. IU beat Northern Illinois University, 91-73.

“She was just saying how proud she was of me and that she loved me,” Royster said.

“We’ve been through the highs and the lows together.” * * * Licking County Family YMCA in Newark, Ohio, looks the part of an older elementary school with its low-to-the-ground build and bricked architecture.

But inside it’s like any other YMCA. The only classrooms are ones for daycare students and summer camp preschoolers and kindergartners, while a majority of the building is filled with weight rooms, a gymnastics setup, racquetball rooms and, of course, basketball courts.

When Royster was in the third grade, she didn’t spend too much time on the treadmills or even the 4-foot deep end of the swimming pool. In-

stead, she joined her friends on the basketball court.

As she got older, she became taller than most and quickly moved from the traction-less courts at the YMCA to the talent-filled courts at the AAU scene.

Her height kept her involved in other sports such as softball and volleyball.

Going into her freshman year at Newark High School, Royster injured her wrist on her shooting hand. Royster still played through her volleyball season in the fall, but the constant reps of being a middle hitter and ferociously spiking the ball over the net caused further damage.

After the season ended, Royster went to a doctor and found out she had a broken wrist and needed surgery. She was in a hard cast for about three months and had to sit out the entire regular season for basketball that year.

“That’s when I was like, ‘I’m going to ditch these other sports because basketball is what I want to play in college,’” Royster said.

Royster dominated on the court when she made her return from injury, going on to average 20.3 points per game for her high school career and led Newark to conference, regional and district championships in her senior year with a 27-2 record.

She would get the occasional letter in the mail from certain colleges, but none were ever personalized.

“I knew I wanted to pursue DI basketball,” Royster said. “But I didn’t know to the extent of Indiana. Big Ten. Big school like this.” * * * Assistant coach Rhet Wierzba came to IU in 2014 with Moren from Indiana

State University after former head coach Curt Miller resigned and became the head coach of the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun. They came to Bloomington in August, 2014, just three months before the season started. The first order of business was to try and keep Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill from decommitting from IU and going elsewhere. Mission accomplished.

The Hoosiers went 15-16 in Moren’s inaugural season. In fall 2014, Wierzba was handling recruiting just like he did at Indiana State, and the first recruit he went after was Royster.

“We knew we needed size,and she was a name that had come up,” Wierzba said. “After our first evaluation day, we drove over and watched her lift weights and do an open gym.”

Wierzba said it was after

that day when he saw potential in Royster to help the team.

Royster and her mom took the four-hour trip from Newark to visit the campus, and the feeling was unlike any other college she visited. That wasn’t because the limestone buildings, the state-of-the-art athletic facilities or even the beauty of Bloomington; it was how the campus and city treated women’s basketball.

Wierzba said when players or coaches go out to eat around campus or in the city, people will stop them and ask to take pictures because they know about the program and are fans of it.

“The community loves women’s basketball,” Royster said. “I took other visits, and it was always either men’s basketball or football, so like coming here it was nice to have fans in the community that supported women’s basketball as much as men’s basketball.”

Royster committed to IU along with three others that year. The competition for the starting spot was tough with Jenn Anderson, Alexis Gassion and Amanda Cahill as the clear front runners to play majority of the paint minutes.

Despite never starting, Royster played in all 33 games off the bench, averaging 12 minutes, four points and three rebounds per game.

That season was the first time in 14 years IU made the NCAA Tournament and first time in 33 years it advanced to the second round. Royster played 16 minutes in the first game against the University of Georgia and scored four points with six rebounds. In the Round of 32 loss to a 33-1 Notre Dame team, Royster finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds in 29 minutes played, her second career double-double.
