IUDM sets new records Dance marathon raises record $2.6 million for kids at Riley Children’s Hospital BY TORIE SCHUMACHER vschumac@indiana.edu @shoe_torie

More than 3,000 people chanted “FTK” or “for the kids” as they awaited the reveal of the second digit of the total for the 2013 IU Dance Marathon. The grand total was $2,622,123.21, the most money raised in the history of IUDM, which is the second largest student organization in the country. IUDM celebrated its 23rd annual fundraiser in the Indoor Tennis Center from 8 p.m. Nov. 15 to 8 a.m. Nov. 17 to benefit Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. The Marathon consisted of a 36-hour event that has raised more than $14 million for the Ryan White Infectious Disease Center at Riley Hospital. It began with the beat of “Eye of the Tiger” and a tunnel made by committee members that led dancers to the IUDM stage. Students stormed the court through the tunnel, sporting dif-

“IUDM was the most inspiring and best part of my freshman year. Over everything I did last year, those 18 hours were the best. I loved it.” Tess Ropp, sophomore and IUDM Recruitment Committee member

ferent colors according to their team. Dancer and freshman Michael Angelo gathered with 13 of his fraternity brothers from Sigma Phi Epsilon, waiting for the marathon to begin. He said he was excited to meet the kids but was dreading the 30-hour mark, which he’d heard was the hardest part.

During each 18-hour interval, students learned a line dance, which they would all perform right before the 2013 total was revealed. Sophomore and Recruitment Committee member Tess Ropp said even though she was already exhausted after completing 18 hours of her 36-hour shift, the Morale group helped

keep her going. Ropp said they are basically the craziest people in IUDM. “They keep everyone pumped up,” she said. The line dance, which lasted about eight minutes and 30 seconds, consisted of a compilation of music clips and dance moves memorized by IUDM participants and committee members. The dance was taught five or six times during each hour to keep dancers moving. Dancers flicked their hands, jumped, turned and shimmied to the music. SEE IUDM, PAGE A8

Season ends with victory against rival BY EVAN HOOPFER ehoopfer@indiana.edu

They were calling for him from the stands. “Kofi!” they yelled to the senior wide receiver. Kofi Hughes had just played in his final IU game in a 56-36 win against Purdue Nov 30. A group of four students was still hanging over the student section wall yelling, “Kofi!” Hughes jogged to his fans with a smile. With his helmet in hand, he gave each of them a high five. He then threw up a piece of red plastic. It was his mouth guard. “Everybody was just stripping me for all the gear I had, and that was the last thing I had,” Hughes said. “So I just flung it up there.” His fans were excited. “Wasn’t that awesome?” they yelled to each other, each looking at the mouth guard. “I’m not going to use it,” Hughes said after the game.

Attendees murmured with excitement as they waited to catch a glimpse of acclaimed actress Meryl Streep. The crowd was hushed by the sound of four trumpet players. The platform party filed onto the stage of the IU Auditorium, and the crowd erupted into applause and cheers the moment Streep appeared. Audience members rose to their feet. Streep smiled and sat down, placing her hand over her heart and nodding to the audience. IU President Michael McRobbie stepped up to the podium. “Today, we honor Meryl Streep.” The audience cheered again. IU Auditorium was host to Meryl Streep and the conferral of her honorary doctoral degree from IU April 16. Nearly 3,200 seats to the event sold out within three hours of ticket sales opening.

Neither will his two fellow senior captains, tight end Ted Bolser and safety Greg Heban. Each played their final game as an IU Hoosier that Saturday. “They’re going to walk out of here with their heads real, real high,” IU Coach Kevin Wilson said after the game. Hughes, a graduate of Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, caught his last touchdown late in the fourth quarter. His six-yard grab gave IU the record for most points ever scored against Purdue, and it was the final Hoosier touchdown of the 2013 season. IU’s previous touchdown was a two-yard pass caught by Bolser. The Cincinnati native finished his career with the most receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns of any tight end in IU’s 129-year history. Heban didn’t have the positive SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE D6

Meryl Streep talks with IU professor Barbara Klinger about how she got involved in acting. "I was like every little girl who got up and wanted everyone's full and total attention. Most of us grow out of that.”

Almost all the seats in the auditorium were filled to witness Streep’s ceremony and a conversation between her and Barbara Klinger, professor of film and media studies. McRobbie conducted the ceremony and introduced Streep and her many accolades. Streep has been honored with three Academy Awards and eight Golden Globes, McRobbie said. McRobbie said the way she delves deep into her roles allows us to not just be movie-goers but witnesses. “By disappearing into her roles, Meryl Streep has made the world visible to us, and all of us are truly grateful,” he said. After the ceremony, Streep and Klinger sat on two cushioned chairs in the center of the stage. Klinger’s first question was about how Streep got into acting. “I think I was probably like every other girl who puts on a princess dress and expects everyone to pay full and total attention,” Streep said. “And most of us grow out of that.” The audience erupted into laughter until Streep continued to say she had always been interested in people and wanted to work as an interpreter for the United Nations after her mother drove her to the headquarters in New York. “I thought it was vain to want to be an actress,” Streep said. ”Plus, I thought I was too ugly to be an actress.

Step Up! educates bystanders BY SUZANNE GROSSMAN spgrossm@indiana.edu

After attending a Step Up! IU training session, freshman Dayanna Arichavala wanted to share her new knowledge with everyone. This drove her to organize Step Up! at La Casa Latino Cultural Center in April, where she had a work-study position. “After I heard the talk, I found myself being more vigilant,” Arichavala said. “I felt like it helped me a lot in assessing what goes on every day as I walk around campus.” Step Up! IU is the action side of Culture of Care, providing training on bystander intervention to student groups, Step Up! coordinator Thea Cola said. Student groups can ask Step Up! to come to their meetings or events to give either a bystander intervention presentation or a sexual assault prevention presentation. The group teaches students how to create a safe environment. “We want to increase con-

fidence levels in students intervening,” Cola said. “In 2011 we surveyed IU students, and 66 percent thought that a problematic situation could’ve been avoided if someone intervened.” Culture of Care began collecting data and developing the Step Up! program for IU in 2011 and implemented it in 2012. The need for the group came after incidents on campus such as Lauren Spierer’s disappearance, Cola said, as well as a national address in which President Barack Obama said sexual assault was an issue he’d like to address. Through the 2013-14 school year, the initiative served 1,167 students at IU, Cola said. “Incidents like sexual assault and hazing still occur even this year,” he said. “Culture of Care put this in for a reason. People don’t believe they have control of the environment, but they can create that culture of care, and that’s what Step Up! is for. For encouraging students to take control of their environment.”

Arichavala said she sees intervention as an area that could be improved on campus and in the world. “Everybody has this idea that we’re such a big campus that anybody will help,” Arichavala said. “But in reality everybody has that mindset, so no one actually ends up helping, not only on this campus, but everywhere.” Step Up! is important to IU students as they transition into college life, Cola said. “College is a transitional period that can be tough,” Cola said. “Having someone smile at you or ask you if you’re OK can really go a long way. Intervening can really help people in the long run. It’ll make for an easier transition for students and help them have a better college experience.” Cola said she wanted to stress how Step Up! is not a group that promotes only sobriety or abstinence, but rather tries to encourage safer practices. “It’s not trying to crush fun,” Cola said. “It’s just trying SEE STEP UP, PAGE A8

The Media School — the merged units of the School of Journalism and departments of communication and culture and telecommunications — will move forward, the IU Board of Trustees approved in October. Their vote of support cements the University’s endorsement of the merger and takes the Media School from “if” and “would” to “when” and “will.” The Academic Affairs Committee unanimously approved the proposal after about 90 minutes of explanation and debate concerning the Media School. The full board later voted unanimously to approve the proposal. Provost Lauren Robel, Interim Dean of the School of Journalism Lesa Hatley Major and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Larry Singell presented the proposal to the trustees. The vote is the final step of approval in a long series of events surrounding the merger of the three units. The Media School will officially come into existence on July 1, 2014, and will be located in Franklin Hall, according to a press release from the University. Franklin Hall is expected to be renovated with state-ofthe-art classrooms and digital production facilities. The three units and the College of Arts and Sciences share an interwoven, sometimes knotty, history. Their merger has been discussed for about the past decade, but as Robel noted in her morning presentation, discussion intensified in 2009. In her February 2013 State of the Campus address, Robel announced her intention to recommend to the Trustees a merged school to be housed in the College of Arts and Sciences. In the months that followed, affected parties voiced their spectrum of opinions on the merger. The contentious nature of the merger frequently surfaced in the board’s discussion of the Media School proposal. “I’ve learned a lot about

journalism in the last 18 months,” Robel said, drawing laughter from the board and audience. Trustee MaryEllen Bishop asked one of the questions at the heart of the merger: Will the “incredible tradition of journalism” be preserved? Singell spoke on his intentions in regards to the future autonomy of the journalism unit in the Media School. “I have no interest in empire,” Singell said. “My objective here is excellence.” Singell announced Friday he will appoint Major to serve as associate dean of the new Media School. A search for a dean is expected to begin this academic year. Major and Robel both emphasized the intent to preserve, if not expand, the legacy of famed World War II correspondent Ernie Pyle, the current journalism building’s namesake. “There’s no question, no matter what happens today, that the legacy of Ernie Pyle will be preserved at Indiana University,” Trustee Patrick Shoulders said. Robel noted the current academic programs outlined in the proposal are more an artistic rendering than an architectural one. Looking forward, faculty will largely flesh out the framework laid out in the proposal. Grad student and president of the Graduate and Professional Student Organization Brady Harman voiced support for the plan to form a Student Advisory Board, one of the few established platforms for student inclusion in the post-proposal landscape. Herb Terry, Bloomington Faculty Council president and associate professor in the Department of Telecommunications, voiced a collection of faculty feedback. He touched on the issue of naming the new school, providing adequate space in Franklin Hall and striking a balance between the humanities and professional training. “The faculty of all three units will step up and roll up their sleeves,” Terry said, adding that much work will need to be done to move current academic structures to the vision called for in the proposal.

Students celebrate Holi by throwing perfumed multicolored paint powder on one another during an event March 27, 2014, in the Collins Living-Learning Center courtyard. Holi is a Hindu festival and is celebrated on the vernal equinox, which marks the beginning of the spring season.

Back home for a day at Holi fest Festival gives students chance to experience distant culture on campus BY SUZANNE GROSSMAN spgrossm@indiana.edu

For the past two years Nikitha Linga has missed celebrating Holi, one of her favorite festivals, because she’s been miles from home. Linga remembers celebrating Holi back home in India with dancing, color fights and bong, a drink that gets you high, she said. The Asian Culture Center staged its own Holi festival April 23 at Collins LLC to give students like Linga the chance to connect to home. Linga said festivals are a part of life in India. It’s a way for family and friends to connect to each other and the culture. “And since we are in the U.S. and don’t have family here, we get to have fun we’d be missing right now and connect back to home,� Linga said. Holi is a Hindu holiday

in India that celebrates the coming of spring, ACC Student Coordinator and Holi organizer Vivian Chen said. This year’s Holi festival was originally scheduled for April 4 but was rescheduled because of bad weather. “It would have been nice if the weather let us do it when planned,� Chen said. “We’ve been worried about attendance because it’s in the middle of Little Five.� Chen’s fears were confirmed when only about 200 students showed up. In previous years the event attracted 350 to 400 students, she said. She said she’s still hopeful for the years to come, even though this year’s festival was less attended. “Everyone should come and have fun,� Chen said. “Even if they didn’t come this year, they should definitely come next year.� The event had more to offer to students this year with

tissue paper flower crafts, henna workshops, dance demos, food catered from Taste of India and, as always, the color war. “It’s really a lot of fun,� ACC student staff member Laura Baumann said. “We really just want to get a lot of people here and get a lot of color on them.� Other than organizing a fun event, the ACC also hopes to bring multicultural awareness to campus, Chen said. “A lot of Indiana people know there is Indian and Asian culture, but they don’t know much about it,� Chen said. “Definitely part of it is for us to have fun, but also to get the word out there to show the many facets of the different cultures all around campus.� Chen said she thinks it’s important for people to be aware of how America sometimes adapts foreign cultures

to form their own. “Everyone knows the color run, but no one knows about Holi,� Chen said. “But that’s where the color run came form. I mean, we get colored powder from India, and it’s nice to show where it originated from.� Holi is one of the bigger events the ACC plans each year, student staff member Vivian Ge said. “Not only is it a lot of fun, but it allows everyone to participate whether you’re students or not and whether you’re Indian or not,� Ge said. Though the festival is smaller this year and smaller than back in India, Linga said it’s better than nothing. It helps her feel less far from home. “It’s important, because I get to meet people, and I miss home a lot,� Linga said. “This helps me feel like I’m not so far away from my culture.�

The scores are tallied. The second runner-up is announced, then the first. Erika Burghardt’s name was the final one called. She looked up, and a wide smile spread across her face. In her second year competing in the Miss IU Scholarship Pageant, she was crowned Miss IU. “I’m so excited to represent our student body and to represent the city of Bloomington as well,� Burghhardt said. The Miss IU Organization held the annual pageant Feb. 23 at the Willkie Auditorium. A total of 11 contestants sashayed across the stage in swimwear and evening gowns. The event wasn’t all for show, though — it was based on service. Each contestant had a chosen platform, and the women looked to promote awareness of issues like youth HIV/AIDS, skin cancer and distracted driving. Burghhardt’s platform was IU Dance Marathon participation and awareness. “Having grown up with parents who really pushed for giving back to the community and getting involved, I knew that IU Dance Marathon was something I had to get involved with,� she said. “I think it’s an organization that everyone should have the opportunity to be involved with because it is so rewarding. The more participation, the more awareness, and then we can save a child’s life.� Burghhardt was awarded a $1,500 scholarship, as well as smaller gifts given by local businesses, such as Bloomington Kiwnanis, MarDon Salon and Mary M’s Walnut House Flowers. Thirty-two universities and organizations from across the

state send their winners to compete for the title of Miss Indiana. Burghhardt will travel to Zionsville, Ind., on June 16 to compete for a chance to attend the Miss America Pageant. Last year’s Miss IU runnerup, Mallory Essig, was the host of the event. “The talent was overwhelming,� she said. “You never know what it’s going to be like coming into a local, but all these girls were amazing. They came out and gave it their all, and I’m betting you that made the judge’s decision that much harder.� The pageant is designed to provide contestants the opportunity to gain experience in leadership, performing arts skills and interviewing. Public Relations Chair Lauren Mnayarji said it’s most notably an opportunity to do philanthropic work and give back to the Bloomington community. “It’s really something that gets students to know pageantry isn’t all the glitz and glamor,� she said. “Yeah, they have the show for everyone to see, but whoever wins is doing a lot of community service and really working hard.� Aside from the winner, a first runner-up and a second runner-up were named. Other awards included the People’s Choice Award and Miss Congeniality. Scholarships of $250 were given out to both the interview winner and talent winner. Essig said she felt the longrunning event once again ran well and was very successful. “We’re a student organization, so we try to get as much done as we can,� she said. “I couldn’t be happier, and I’m really happy to pass down my crown to Erika.�

Students dance to live music in Dunn Meadow before the start of the sixth annual Nearly Naked Mile. The event, organized by IUSAA, benefits a local philanthropic organization with clothes donated by participating students. Participants who donated at least two articles of clothing could run for free.

During my time in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences, I did research on which treatments work and how to put them into practice. These experiences have laid the foundation on which I hope to build a career serving those with mental illness through research and practice.

Sophomore Johnathon Lowery and junior Zach Jones paddle their IU Physics Club cardboard boat at the September 2013 Cardboard Boat Regatta.

Students make, race boats BY ELISA GROSS engross@indiana.edu @elisa_gross

PROUD TRADITIONS

Junior Zach Jones and sophomore Johnathon Lowery lowered their cardboard and duct tape boat into the pool. They had calculated the boat’s buoyancy, but only time would tell whether the S.S. Schrödinger would float or sink. The School of Public Health Engage program sponsored the 13th Cardboard Boat Regatta Sept. 27 at the IU Outdoor Pool. SPH Engage Director Deb Getz said this annual event aims to raise money for an SPH Engage scholarship. The award is available to any student. Students and any Bloomington resident could enter a boat for a $25 entry fee. Twelve teams participated in the event. Competitors created boats using only cardboard and duct tape. The boats were then judged for creativity and speed. Along with this requirement, each boat was required to have a two-person crew and be less than 8 feet long and 4 feet wide, Getz said.

Competitors raced the length of the pool in five-boat heats. The top-five fastest teams competed in a final race. “It really is an event intended to bring folks from the community and school together,” Getz said. “That’s what makes it so special. We work hard to make it a community event.” Two of the day’s competitors were Jones and Lowery, who were racing for the IU Physics Club. Jones said the Physics Club has been competing for five or six years. “One year we got first,” Jones said. “Last year we got fourth because our boat sank right at the end of the last heat.” The Physics Club not only placed in the speed category this year, but Jones said he was surprised to also place for creativity. Their boat, the S.S. Schrödinger, was named after the famous physicist Erwin Schrödinger, Lowery said. “It has a couple equations on the back and the opposite side,” Lowery said. “The one on the back is the buoyancy equation because we, hopefully, want it to float.

The one on the opposite side is Schrödinger’s wave equation.” Along with the S.S. Schrödinger, boat themes included a pirate ship, a Viking ship, a stingray and a log. “We’ve had a toilet before,” Getz said. “It wasn’t particularly sea-worthy, but it was entertaining.” Graduate students Yun Chang and Ryan Hines won first place for speed, competing for the Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Studies with their boat, the Silver Hawk. First place for creativity was awarded to 8-year-olds Jacob Knapp and Vincent Kreft for their pirate-themed boat, the Sea Badgers. The S.S. Schrödinger placed third in speed and third in creativity for the day. Jones said they are already working on plans for the next regatta and will continue to race in upcoming years. “This is a cool thing we can do as the Physics Club,” Jones said. “We do some calculations and say we know what’s going to happen, but at the end of the day, we slap some duct tape on cardboard and hope for the best.”

The University is in the process of constructing the School of Global and International Studies, called by IU President Michael McRobbie, “one of the most important developments in the nearly 200 years of IU’s history.” The state-of-the-art building is expected to be completed in two years and will house nearly 35 language and culture departments in the College of Arts and Sciences. The curved building will be located off of Jordan Avenue next to the Wells Library and will have four floors organized by department. The school will be based through COAS and will house more than 350 core and affiliated faculty members. IU’s 11 federally funded

Title VI area studies centers and federally funded Language Flagship programs will also be associated with the school, but the degree program for SGIS is not yet finalized, said Elisabeth Andrews, communications specialist for the Office of the Provost. French professor Margaret Gray is among the faculty who will most likely be moved to the SGIS in two years. “I think that the new building is designed to be very user-friendly and will bring us all together,” Gray said. “In that way, it’s a very positive step.” While Gray sees the merits of consolidation, she is concerned about how the change could negatively affect the French program. “In many ways, our work connects us more closely with the humanistic traditions of the world, and this would be moving us to a more socio-political depart-

ment identity,” Gray said. “We are in a discussion. I think the administration is trying to listen, but it also has its own vision.” The SGIS will cost $52 million. Half the funds are coming from the Big Ten Network’s rights fees, said Tom Morrison, IU vice president for capital planning and facilities. The IU Board of Trustees approved the creation of the SGIS in August 2012, and construction is set to be complete in June 2015. The SGIS investment reflects McRobbie’s long-term goals emphasizing a global education for students. “By bringing together into one school the core of IU’s extraordinary resources in global and international studies, the University stands poised to join the most outstanding programs in the world in these truly vital areas,” McRobbie said in a press release.

IUSA answers questions about the Strategic Plan BY DANI CASTONZO dcastonz@indiana.edu

Provost and Executive Vice President Lauren Robel released a 21-page blueprint called the Strategic Plan this spring, which outlines the direction of the University in the upcoming years. The plan covers six major areas: undergraduate life, graduate education, research, faculty development, globalization and internationalization and collaborative program initiatives. IU Student Association Vice President of Administration Chris Kauffman shares the student government’s take on the campus strategic

plan, describing the document as “a forward-thinking, aspirational road map for the course of this institution.” IDS What should students know about the Campus Strategic Plan? Kauffman It is important for students to recognize that our educational environment is constantly in flux, and that in recognition of this dynamism, 167 faculty, staff and students joined forces on 11 committees under the guidance of the Provost to comprehensively address the future of Indiana University Bloomington. Thoughtful dialogue from

groups of diverse stakeholders has resulted in recommendations, which directly affect virtually every facet of this institution means that all stakeholders — students especially — should dedicate time to reading, digesting and providing feedback on the Strategic Plan.

takeaways. Across committees, an enhanced emphasis on interdisciplinarity and diversity within and outside of the formal learning environment became apparent. Similarly, the view of the institution as an integrated ecosystem, especially with respect to undergraduate life, manifested to influence and link several recommendations. Recognition of the relationships between residence, academic and extracurricular life fostered dialogue surrounding linkages and learning outcomes between these three student domains. An outflow of this line of thought is a renewed emphasis on access to “highimpact” practices — internships, service learning, study abroad, and research — that significantly enhance the student experience at IUB.

to make fun safe.” As Little 500 approaches, Step Up! gets flooded with requests to speak and do intervention training. Recently, Culture of Care commissioned the Student Media Bureau to make a video about bystander intervention. The video is called “Bystanders,” and it staged events to see how IU students would react and if any would intervene. “The beauty of it was no matter what, if people intervened or not, we could still use it,” video producer Carlos Guiterrez said. “If they didn’t react we could say, ‘Look at this problem,’ and if they do that’s great.” Students did end up intervening in the video, but at first, Guiterrez said he was concerned people wouldn’t do so. “In the beginning I was worried on the state of the human condition, because for a while no one stopped,” Guiterrez said. “I had to listen to this girl cry and watch it on camera. It was discouraging, but after people stepped up I felt more confident.” Guiterrez said he wished they would’ve staged more uncommon events to see what bystanders would do, such as a gay couple harassing a straight couple or a woman harassing a man. He said he’s also afraid the video was too “feel good.” “I’m afraid people will see it and think, ‘Everything’s good, people stood up, I don’t need to do anything,’” he said. “But then again people still walked by and the stage guy who was crying wasn’t helped at all.” However, Guiterrez said he is happy with how it created a community. “From the responses I’ve gotten, a lot of people really expressed their pride about IU are proud of the students for stepping up,” Guiterrez said. “People were for at least one reason bound together and agreed on something.”

They also participated in jumping rope, playing ball and interacting with the Riley kids. Dancers had to raise $500 in order to participate. Ropp said she personally raised more than $846 for the event. “I got an online donation of $475, and it was anonymous, so that got me to my total,” Ropp said. “I still don’t know to this day who it was.” Hearing the Riley kids’ stories are really what kept her going, Ropp said. The children and their families each shared their stories to encourage the dancers to fight the exhaustion. One Riley patient, Benjamin Edwards, was diagnosed with a brain tumor Apr. 18, 2011. His father, Chris Edwards, spoke to students about the toddler’s tumor. “His balance deteriorated to the point where he regressed to crawling,” Chris said. “He would wake up frequently, in pain and looking disoriented, clutching his stuffed zebra.” He talked about how scared the family was as surgeons prepared their son for the complicated procedure. Two years, four surgeries and 32 radiation treatments later, Benjamin is now in remission. He is one of many children who will benefit from the IUDM funds for Riley Hospital. He and the other Riley children present were able to enjoy a bounce house and craft tables during the event. Ropp participated in the marathon her freshman year as an 18-hour dancer and said she will definitely participate every year of her college career. “IUDM was the most inspiring and best part of my freshman year,” Ropp said. “Over everything I did last year, those 18 hours were the best. I loved it.” IUDM Director Nick Kolar said the goal is always to exceed the past year’s total amount fundraised. IUDM staff were happy to announce the 2013 event raised $500,000 more than the 2012 total. “I think this marathon went as smoothly as it could have,” Kolar said. “We did as well as we possibly could have done. We’re just really happy.”

Greek fraternity drag show supports GLBTSSS BY SUZANNE GROSSMAN spgrossm@indiana.edu

Fifteen dancing drag queens and kings wooed a crowd of more than 150 at the Indiana Memorial Union Feb. 11. It was the night Sigma Phi Beta fraternity presented its second annual Drag For a Cause philanthropy event. CeeCee Marie won top drag queen, and Ryder Harter was named the top drag king. Last year, funds from the event went toward the Indiana Youth Group, a safe house for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth in Indianapolis. This year, all the proceeds went to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services office, but the event is more than a fundraiser. Its goal is also to promote a better understanding of drag, Sigma Phi Beta Philanthropy Chair Angel Barraza said. “I think the nature of this sort of art is the underbelly of society,” Barraza said. “People are typically frightened of what they don’t know. We want to show how great drag is as an awesome, all-encompassing form of art.” Barraza said the fraternity also wants to educate people of their existence as an LGBT fraternity on campus, particularly within greek society.

“Traditionally, greek life is a homophobic place,” Barraza said. “We stand as a queer and allied fraternity as a powerful message that it’s OK to do anything you want to do. Want to wear heels, a clown nose or a wig? You have complete permission to do that.” Sydny Bohuk said the fraternity is needed to help peoples’ lives. “Especially in Indiana, we need to show support for those kids who don’t hear acceptance,” Bohuk said. “By telling our stories, we’re saying, ‘Come join us. We’re your new family, and you can come to us.’” Barraza and Bohuk said they felt drag helps them express who they truly are, and helps them keep in touch with their femininity as well as their masculinity. “Drag helps me respect my femininity and fierceness,” Bohuk said. “It lets me go against the way I have to act in society because of heteronormatives. Otherwise I’d be bottled up.” Barraza has never performed in drag, but for the event he wore six-inch heels. “I feel more masculine than I ever have probably in my whole life,” Barraza said. “It has helped me find my own masculinity, and what it means to be a man. Now I’m walking around in the Union at a Big Ten feeling masculine.”

The fraternity wants to attract all kinds of people, Barraza said, even those who haven’t experienced drag. “You’ve never seen anything like it,” Bohuk said. “Come to a drag show. We’ll dance for you, we’ll sing for you, come be a drag queen yourself.” President of Sigma Phi Beta and event judge Brendon McGrayel said the chapter also puts on a drag show because it’s popular and helps raise money for charity. “Drag is an essential part of gay subculture,” McGrayel said. “But a lot of people like it, so it gets money for sure. Drag show and the GLBTSSS fit together. It just makes sense.” After all the contestants performed, the winning queen and king from 2013 each performed before the winners of the night’s competition were announced. Only first prizes were awarded. Barraza said he is excited for this event in the future because of its ability to help students find themselves. “Most people never feel fully confident in themselves until they’re 50 or 60, and that’s 50 or 60 years too late,” Barraza said. “The most important thing I’ve learned from this event is that everyone has the inherent permission to be themselves.”

IDS Why is it important that students understand the strategic plan? How will it affect them? Kauffman The Strategic Plan maps the trajectory of this institution for the next phase in its life. It addresses virtually every primary function of the University, providing recommendations and measures of attainment therein. This document signals a commitment to thoughtful strategic thought and action, providing students and stakeholders with insight into the direction of their institution. Many of the recommendations within the plan are long-term in nature. Nonetheless, because the locus of the plan is institutional improvement, every recommendation wields the potential to increase the value of an IU degree long after students leave Bloomington.

Abroad in B-town

My weekend with Saudi Arabians

CASEY FARRINGTON is a junior majoring in political science

EMMA WENNINGER is a sophomore majoring in English.

During the weekend my roommates, a few friends and I were invited to our neighbors’ apartments for lunch and dinner. It was one of the most eyeopening and delicious experiences of my life. The neighbors who invited us are Saudi Arabian men studying abroad in the United States. We met them a few weekends previously as we walked back to our respective apartments. One of them invited us to dinner. Not to be outdone, another invited us to lunch first. We had dates with Arabian coffee and Middle Eastern-style chicken and rice. We also had salad with lemon juice as dressing, which became my new favorite thing. We ate on the floor from big, ornate plates. They showed us how to eat properly with our hands. How you mash a ball of hot sauce and rice and the thanks you say when you are done. That night we had a meal with lamb and vegetables that smelled like curry and tasted like stew. The best part was the conversation. I wanted to know about religious law in their country. My roommate, majoring in history, wanted to know about the wars their brothers had died in. Several had lost family to sieges and bombs. They were open and honest, without judgment. They wanted to know about our culture. They wanted to know about hand gestures they’d seen Americans do, like “I know,” “Come here” and “I don’t care.” It was fantastic, and the food was amazing. It wasn’t like the ethnic food on Fourth Street, which is delicious but Americanized. It was real, authentic Saudi Arabian food. It was prepared in Saudi Arabian cookware with oldschool recipes these guys got from little Middle Eastern grandmothers. I’ve always appreciated the diversity on IU’s campus, but I’d never had a chance to really experience it firsthand. As students, we are always told to accept each other. It’s difficult when students gravitate toward people from their own cultures and close themselves off to others. I’d always heard you learn so much when you are open to new people and ways of thinking. But I’d never been able to figure out how to do so here on campus. I think I had my misgivings about my about Middle Eastern classmates. Even though I knew news we get about the war on terror is not exactly the greatest representation of Middle Eastern culture. Now, though, it’s different. I happily get to tuck my prejudiced tail between my legs and say I’ve grown and learned. I can say, from experience, amazing things can happen when you open up and accept new ideas, cultures and ways of thinking. Plus, there’s free food. ewenning@indiana.edu @EmmaWenninger

A new day for IUSA WE SAY: Student government might finally step up The Editorial Board likes to keep actors both on and off our campus accountable, which is why we’ve hit hard on the responsiveness of our student government this spring. The administration of Jose Mitjavila, the IUSA President for 2013-14, repeatedly disappointed students. His administration has few significant accomplishments to show, despite its somewhat self-congratulatory tone at the conclusion of last year’s election. We’ve seen Mitjavila push for what we’ve lovingly dubbed an Applebee’s (it’s not an actual Applebee’s) in the Indiana Memorial Union and lobby for Lifeline Law amendments similar to those from Hoosiers 4 Solutions, one of the tickets that opposed Mitjavila in the 2013 IUSA election. The announcement that Plus for IUSA was running unopposed all but eliminated any hope we had for our student government. Plus

went on to win the executive ticket, as well as every congressional seat for which they put up candidates. The Editorial Board, however, has seen evidence to suggest that the incoming administration might actually bring the change we’ve been waiting for. IUSA voted on March 30 to make elections more equitable and less biased. The resolution moves the Election Commission from the executive branch to the judicial branch, which houses the IUSA Supreme Court. The student body president appoints the supreme court justices as spots open up, and justices serve a term for the entirety of their time at IU. The polling stations are also no longer going to be staffed by members of the individual campaigns, but rather by members of the Election Commission. In addition, members campaigning for tickets must stand 300 feet away from polling loca-

tions. Students will start being alerted when voting is open via a campus-wide email, and the next year’s election dates will be set at the end of the prior administration. The Editorial Board sincerely applauds and approves of these changes by IUSA, which passed these changes with only one member voting against them. It’s a huge step forward. In the past, IUSA has been plagued by what could be considered nepotism and inside knowledge. For the past three years, IUSA administrations have consisted mainly of recycled, handpicked members of the previous administration. With their experience in the previous administration, these tickets have prior knowledge as to how to run an IUSA campaign and when election dates will be set. And while we can’t fix the nepotism that results in handpicked administra-

tions, the step toward giving all tickets equal notice to the election dates is a great one. This past school year, Unify IU, the ticket that was originally slotted to run against Plus, dropped out of the race, because it felt Plus had more time to prepare. We have struggled during the past year with our trust in IUSA and then our trust of Plus. However, Plus has been receptive and clearly supportive of these election reforms for which this Board has been advocating for years. While the elections process is still not perfect and IUSA still needs improvements, this is a step in the right direction. IUSA is moving toward becoming a legitimate student government once again, and we applaud this transition and those who support it. opinion@idsnews.com @IDS_Opinion

ZIPPER UNZIPPED

#Narcissismprobs I, along with IU Bloomington’s other 40,000-plus students, received an email from the provost the evening of Jan. 27. She informed us campus will maintain normal operation for that Monday, but we should take precautions because of the expected bitterly cold weather. I was not surprised or angered by this message, as cold weather alone is usually not enough to warrant the closing of an entire campus. But, upon opening my Twitter feed about one minute and 30 seconds after reading said message, I encountered tweet after tweet “criticizing” IU’s decision to keep campus open. Why did I put “criticizing” in quotes? Because it wasn’t criticism. It was whining. We live in the information generation, the era when virtually anything and everything we will ever want to know in a thousand lifetimes is available at our fingertips. And it’s turning us into

complaining narcissists. We can learn about the Beat Generation of writers, the life of Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman or the very short history of The NeXT Computer with just a Google search. Instead we choose — myself very much included — to Instagram a picture of our once-weekly healthy lunch or to tweet something vague and ambiguous directed at my cheating ex-boyfriend who doesn’t even follow me anymore. The thing about social networks is that 99 percent of the people that follow you, or are friends with you, don’t care about 99 percent of the stuff you talk about on said social network. We use social networks so much because it gives us the illusion of importance. The hope is that we’ll get a couple favorites or likes or retweets to stroke our egos. It makes us feel better about ourselves for one fleeting moment out of an otherwise monotonous and soul-sucking day, and it is too scintillating to pass

up. You see, social networks aren’t really about being “social.” Actually, they’re quite the opposite. They’re about the self. They don’t involve any kind of face-to-face social interaction. All they involve is a smartphone or a computer and our own agenda. That agenda is usually self-centered. It involves a complaint, something we think is funny or interesting, some inside joke involving a friend — usually meant as a bragging tool to imply to our followers that we have friends outside of the Internet — or a meaningless and unnecessary observation. Very rarely is anything we share on a social network actually beneficial to the greater good. And in many cases, even if what we share may be constituted as beneficial, the reasoning for our sharing of it is self-absorbed. An example would be a retweet from the Trevor Project to show how liberal and tolerant we are.

RILEY ZIPPER is a sophomore majoring in English.

I realize this is a very cynical interpretation of social networking. It probably speaks to my own narcissism. Which is, in fact, a delicious irony that I am very much aware of. The writer carries with him or her an inherent narcissism. We’re all writers, but social networking brings the writers in us to the foreground in ways past generations never would have imagined. In some ways, this is good. It’s good to have the ability to be creative and to instantly share it with others. But, I think I speak for most of us when I say I don’t care that you’re having a “much-needed chill night in with Netflix.” zipperr@indiana.edu.

Everything is wonderful. You’re loving trying new things, meeting new people and being exposed to new thoughts and opinions. You’re excited, and it shows. Culture shock You may feel alienated and helpless. Perhaps your work will start to pile up, and it seems impossible that you will ever figure out this “college” thing. If home is close, you’ll be tempted to visit frequently. Assimilation Slowly but surely, you’ll work your way out of that feeling. You’ll start calling your dorm room “home,” and you’ll have weekly “family dinners” with the kids down the hall. The campus starts to become yours, and you feel justified as a true Hoosier. You’ve got a handle on the culture and traditions. You blend in with the native population. Reverse culture shock When you go home for Thanksgiving, what was once familiar and comfortable is foreign and awkward. Your family dynamic feels weird. Let’s hope, your old room doesn’t feel like home anymore, even though all your old posters are still on the walls. It’s like you’re driving on the wrong side of the road. As you work your way through these stages, you will be tempted to do everything just because it’s new. Even if you know you will hate it and be angry at yourself later. For example, in Japan, they sell a bright green drink called melon soda. I know, it sounds delicious and fun. While I was there, I quickly figured out that I hate melon soda, but I kept ordering it anyway. I would see the words “melon soda,” and my brain immediately registered that this is something new, unique and unavailable in the United States. Of course my next thought was, “I must drink this immediately.” Certain things about college life will feel the same way, especially for your first couple of months. Like my melon soda, you should try new things. But unlike my melon soda, don’t keep doing new things just because you can’t do them at home. Be aware of your motivations. Are you doing something because you genuinely enjoy it, or are you doing it just because you can? If your answer is the latter, then maybe you should stop doing it. And remember, you have at least four years to try new things. You don’t have to knock everything out in your first week. casefarr@indiana.edu @casefarr

Singers in IU’s opera, “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh,” perform at the Musical Arts Center. The world premiere of the opera took place Feb . 7, 2014 at IU.

Birth, enlightenment, nirvana ‘The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh,’ world’s first opera transcribed from Vietnamese story, opens at IU BY AMANDA ARNOLD acarnold@indiana.edu

The orchestra laced together a soft melody that reverberated up to the stage, where Mang Ong, alone, called for his daughter. He turned his body and awaited Thi Kinh’s emergence through two panels of bamboo. The composer, various directors and photographers waited, too, at the first full dress rehearsal for “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh,” the world’s first opera transcribed from a Vietnamese story. When Sarah Ballman, one of two IU doctoral students cast as title role Thi Kinh, weaved through the bamboo panels with her magenta, yellow and olive green dress flowing behind her and an opened fan to her face, composer P.Q. Phan said he saw magic. “When you have the right song, movement and light, it’s almost like you’re putting the two dimensions to the third dimension,” Phan said after her first appearance. But the opera wouldn’t materialize completely for him until its world premiere Feb 7. With David Effron conducting, students from the Jacobs School of Music condensed hundreds of hours of work

into a 115 minute-long piece at the Musical Arts Center. Everyone from opera magazine editors to troupes was there to see how “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh” will add to IU Opera Theater’s 66-year-long history. Among the attendees was Phan, sitting with his wife as he anticipated what he was bringing into the world. “The moment I see people walk in and the curtain open, I’ll think, ‘Wow, I can’t believe this is happening,’ like when a baby is being born,” Phan said. “At the end, I’ll know if it’s a boy or a girl.” THE OVERTURE When Wilfred C. Bain left Denton, Tex., for Bloomington in 1947, his main goal as the new dean of the IU School of Music — now the Jacobs School of Music — was to push opera to the school’s forefront. Bringing in conservatories, orchestras and opera houses from Europe and the United States, Bain spent 26 years garnering international acclaim to the opera program. With the installation of the MAC in 1972, IU Opera Theater served as the only fully-functional company within a 200-mile radius from Bloomington, attracting attention from around the region.

Since the program’s inauguration in 1948, it has presented more than 20 world premieres, the most recent being Bernard Rands’s “Vincent” in 2011. Tonight, Phan’s “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh” will claim that esteem. A pursuer of folktales and fantasy stories since the age of 5, Phan didn’t know he’d one day spend six years of his life bringing one of his favorite stories to life in America. Phan, 52, was born in Da Nang, Vietnam, where he grew up around hat chèo, a style of satirical musical theater that families perform during the off-season of farming to make extra money. One of the performances he loved was of the folktale “Quan Am Thi Kinh.” It tells the story of “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh,” a young woman who endures multiple struggles before making an extreme decision that leads her to Nirvana. It wasn’t until he came to the U.S. in 1982 and started studying Western opera that he truly appreciated hat chèo. “The farther you go away, the more you want to look back where you originally came from,” Phan said. He had hesitated to translate “Quan Am The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh” for almost 30 years since the idea came to him, but in April 2008, he finally felt ready.

Lotus Festival celebrates 20th anniversary BY ASHLEY JENKINS ashmjenk@indiana.edu

If Lotus Dickey’s spirit was in Bloomington in late September, he was happy. That’s what Nan McEntire said about the Lotus World Music and Art Festival’s 20th anniversary, celebrated from Sept. 26-29. Close friends with Dickey until his death, McEntire said what the festival has grown into throughout the years would have astounded Dickey. “Since 1994 our job has been to keep this remarkable man alive,� she said. “If only he could see it now.� That weekend’s Lotus in the Park featured a workshop on Dickey’s music. McEntire said it was crucial people learn his story. “Not enough people know about him,� she said. “People think the word ‘lotus’ just refers to the flower when it’s really the name of an amazing man.� There weren’t enough seats under the tent where McEntire and others gave a workshop on Dickey’s original songs. People flooded into the sun outside the tent, sing-

ing along. Some read from a handout. Others knew the words by heart. Once upon a time, Dickey didn’t even know what a workshop was, McEntire said. “‘Do I bring a toolbox?’� she said he asked concerning the first one he was ever invited to. “‘What are we making?’� She laughed. “He was so talented but so humble,� she said. As always, nighttime brought louder music. It caught volunteer and IU graduate student Frances Winfrey off guard. She’s from a town in Arkansas with fewer residents than IU has students. She had lived in Bloomington for only two months at that point. “I thought it would be a small street fest,� Winfrey said. “I had no idea it was this huge. I’m just amazed, watching the people. There’s so many from all these different places.� She said the 20th anniversary was good timing for her first taste of the Lotus Festival. “It’s great to be part of something so special,� she

said. “People get really into this.� Powered by 500 volunteers, September’s festival had more helpers than ever. The first festival in 1994 had only 30 volunteers, volunteer coordinator Tamara Loewenthal said. Loewenthal said Lotus would be impossible without them, and they always exceed expectations. “They produce astounding results that leave me and many of our patrons in awe,� she said. At Kirkwood and Washington streets, where Winfrey was volunteering that Saturday night, a crowd waved flags and giant, glittering tribal masks in the Lotus Parade. Nearby, street performer and magician Jimbo Yaya entertained the crowd by shouting a narration of card tricks. His connection to Lotus comes after a long and winding road. Four years ago, he let his son throw a dart at a map, and it landed on Bloomington. He uprooted his family in Delaware and they ventured into town. It was his 38th move. The

World’s Fare showcases culture BY SANYA ALI slali@indiana.edu

Cultures of the world met and mingled during the IU World’s Fare Nov. 7. The seventh annual fare featured 19 of IU’s cultural organizations and groups in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Alumni Hall. Groups represented include the Pakistani Students Association, the African Student Association and the Thai Student Association, among others. Groups provided native dishes, performances and insights into the many cultures represented on campus. Sandy Britton, associate director for International Student Life and one of the main planners of the event, said international student groups are at the heart of the event. “The goal is to bring all of the international student groups together to collaborate in a way that they can showcase their countries, foods and performances,� Britton said. One change to the event this year was the addition of a stand for the United States, a change inspired in part by collaboration with the Indiana

Memorial Union Board. “This country is, after all, part of the world,� Britton said. Kelsey Padgham, junior and the cultural events director for the Union Board, said the fare serves the IU student community in many ways. “It gives students the opportunity to explore different cultures, learn more about groups, and, most importantly, have fun,� Padgham said. Gulhayo Kobilova, an exchange student and member of the Uzbek Students and Scholars Association, talked about her culture while adorned in a traditional wedding dress. “Our booth is unique with showing all parts of culture, not just weddings, not just clothes,� Kobilova said. Kobilova said in Uzbek weddings, the bride and groom are not separated, and there is an emphasis on their friendship and existence as a pair. She said the bride receives an uncut piece of silk from her mother, which will be passed on to future brides of the family for generations to come. Padgham said another major change from the previous year’s event was the move

from Assembly Hall back to its “home� in Alumni Hall, the place where the fare originally took place. The students attending made the event possible, and Britton said steady streams of students attended throughout the evening. A ticket to the event entitled the spectator to eight food items from the various stalls as well as the chance to see a few of the groups perform live. Each group participating in the event submits recipes ahead of time to the Union Board, who passes it on to

the caterers at the IMU. The caterers then prepare large amounts of the dish for the fare. The performers at the event often spend months preparing for their respective acts. Luo Rong, a junior and member of the Malaysian Students Association, has been in the club for three years and said he extensively practiced his dance. Rong said he hopes students take away the Malaysian culture from his organization’s booth.

The Comedy Attic welcomed some new talent to its stage Sept. 5-7. Winners and semifinalists of the Bloomington Comedy Festival performed their original acts every night as part of the fifth annual Best of the Fest. The event kicked off Thursday, when a crowd of about 50 people showed up to check out the budding comedians. Although Thursday’s audience was small, Comedy Attic owner Jared Thompson said he expected to reel in bigger crowds Friday and Saturday. “We’ll have more student turnout during the weekend for this,� he said. Annie Lorenzano, a newcomer to the Comedy Attic, was there Thursday to cheer on Jon Hancuff, winner of Bloomington’s Funniest Person contest at the festival and her coworker from Cook Medical. “Everyone at work was really supportive of him doing the contest,� she said. “I’m excited to finally see him on stage.� Lorenzano said seeing Bloomington’s best all in one night was a good way to start going to comedy clubs. “I’ve never been before, but I want to go more,� she said. “It’s cool that my first time here is at an all-local show.� Each night of the show, Hancuff performed along with the five other top finishers — Josh Cocks, David Britton, Melinda Kashner, Jonas Schrodt and Stephanie Lochbihler. Thompson said Hancuff dominated the competition, and although the winner is usually determined

“I don’t have to see it. You can tell by the rhythm of the room how good someone is, and he got some pretty loud responses at key times.� Jared Thompson, Comedy Attic owner

by the comedian’s previously earned popularity, Hancuff seemed to have no trouble rounding up some new fans. “He brought friends and family, but from the general feeling of the audience, I knew he was going to win,� Thompson said. Thompson said he doesn’t watch the competition. He said because he’s friends with some of the competitors, he’d rather leave the decision to an unbiased crowd. “I don’t have to see it,� he said. “You can tell by the rhythm of the room how good someone is, and he got some pretty loud responses at key times.� And timing is important. Thompson said it’s especially so for the host, who’s responsible for keeping pace with the show throughout the set. Because all of the weekend’s performers had braved that task before, Thompson said the comedians learned from the headliners that had performed at the Comedy Attic in the past. “Students get to see a much better opening here than in any other city,� he said. “In Bloomington, we get a lot of comedians who have made a name for themselves, and all six of these folks have worked here on the weekend to set the table for bigger stars. This is their turn.�

» THI KINH

CONTINUED FROM PAGE B1 tale, Phan served as the librettist, even though composers often hire someone else to write the script. Waking up at 3 a.m., 15 days in a row, Phan translated the folktale and added original material to help it better suit an American audience. “When you love something so much in the original form, you have tremendous respect for it,” Phan said of “Quan Am Thi Kinh.” “I waited until I knew I wouldn’t put shame to the original version.” The end result was a 49page libretto, a more than 300-page music score and a 115 minute-long opera, featuring five minutes of Vietnamese singing. He worked to preserve Vietnam’s hat chèo culture, but also adapt the piece to Western opera traditions, wanting the piece to be appreciated for its universal messages of love, compassion and selfishness — not because of its exoticism. “The story has a universal meaning,” Phan said. “The Vietnamese essence is only a bonus.” THE ACTS After IU approved the production in December 2011 and Phan made his final changes, he could relinquish the lead. But just as he was able to relax, the stage, costume, light and various other directors got to work. Both stage director Vince Liotta and conductor Effron had been to Vietnam before, and because of their admiration for the country’s culture, they were both enthusiastic about the opera from the start. But more than the opera’s story line, Effron said he was excited to work with something new. He has conducted more than 100 operas around the world, including a majority of the classic operas, and to him, the most exciting operas are those that have never before been done. “Conducting something new brings a sense of excitement because it’s a whole different experience,” Effron said. “There’s no tradition behind it.” Just as Effron will be the first conductor to lead the opera, Ballman will become the Western world’s first Thi Kinh. When Ballman emerged through the bamboo panels for the first time at the dress rehearsal, where Phan saw magic, Liotta saw a small error. “Let’s do that again,” Liotta called out in the middle of Ballman’s aria. “Let’s not get lost back there.” She turned around and passed back through the panels to redo the scene, familiar with the drill. Ballman, a mezzo-soprano, received her bachelor of music in voice from South Dakota State University, completed her master’s in music and voice at IU and is currently working toward a Ph.D. She has played parts in more than 10 operas and performed a small part in a small-scale world premiere of a children’s opera, but the Feb. 7 performance would be her first major premiere. When she got the role in September 2013, she said she was excited at first. But

once she started looking into the music, she realized it was very different from that of Western operas. She said she realized the score would be “the most difficult music to learn in her entire life,” especially because the opera has never been done before. “Its daunting to be the first, because I don’t have anything from the past to go on,” Ballman said. “You don’t have something solid to grasp on — it’s kinda your own baby. With nine other cast members, four “friends,” 37 choral members and 60 students in IU’s Philharmonic Orchestra, Ballman is among a large group of music students working together on what is one of many of their first world premieres. Though IU opera directors today have many talented students from whom to choose, it hasn’t always been this way. When Bain found himself lacking musicians for his first opera production, Jacques Offenbach’s “The Tales of Hoffman,” in 1948, he commissioned his wife to seek orchestra members and choristers from the local A&P supermarket. During the first few years of the program, it wasn’t uncommon for faculty to play roles. Much has changed in the past 66 years. Ballman is one of 190 students pursuing a degree in voice in the Jacobs School of Music, a school that has sent 35 alumni to the roster of what is considered the most prestigious opera house, the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. The most any other institution around the world has sent is about 25. Though Ballman has been singing since her dad started giving her voice lessons at a young age, she said she still gets the jitters before performances. But when the curtain rises tonight, she said she knows she’ll be ready. “I’m not going to lie — I’m freaking out about it,” Ballman said a week before the performance. “I’m not ready right now for the curtain to go up, but I know by Friday, I’ll be fine.” The Finale At the end of the dress rehearsal, after all 51 cast members laced together a gentle harmony of “Nam Mo A Di Da Phat,” a Vietnamese phrase that roughly translates to “Halleluljah,” Phan stood up. The performers hesitated with uncertainty as to what to do, some bowing and others exiting the stage, but Phan stood still, the only one in a room full of about 50 people, giving his cast a standing ovation. He didn’t sit down until well into the encore. When students, locals and opera critics funneled into the MAC that night, Phan said he’d be watching them through the doors — he didn’t think anything about the experience would feel real to him until then. As for what he hoped audience members felt after the event, he said he wasn’t asking for a lot — he thinks expecting the audience to admire his work is too much. “I don’t think it’s my job to write an opera to impress people,” Phan said. “I want people to find one charac-

The IU Auditorium was alive with sound and energy Oct. 24 before anyone even stepped onstage. Row after row of plush red seats were packed with groups of diehard fans of “The Price Is Right,” which stopped by Bloomington on its current live stage tour. Some hopefuls were decked out in bright, matching shirts and bandanas, some had homemade signs and foam fingers, and others shook pom-poms. The one similarity that tied all the fans together was the iconic yellow nametag sticker, representative of the fact that they could be big winners in a matter of hours.

People were lining up before 3:30 p.m., said Heather Farmer, design intern at the IU Auditorium. She said she loved the energy present in the room, from the personalized shirts to the “flashing headpieces” that she had seen throughout the day. Prior to the start of the show, host Pat Finn wandered through the audience, prompting roaring applause and standing ovations from fans. Classic sing-alongs such as “Sweet Caroline” and “Don’t Stop Believin’” blared from the speakers. The energy had audience members on their feet, excited for what was to come. SEE GAME SHOW, PAGE B6

WIUX students compile first album BY AUDREY PERKINS audperki@indiana.edu

Music played softly in the background at the WIUX station house. It came from the station’s first album. The house resembled a dorm room, with students lounging and random furniture sprinkled through the rooms. The smell of fried chicken pervaded one of the rooms — remainders from WIUX’s latest fundraiser. Joe Heath, the station manager, sat in the office with eight years of radio experience under his belt. An IU senior, he was proud to say the radio’s latest project, “WIUX Presents: Live from the Black Box,” was entirely student created. “It was a team effort between everyone that was involved,” Heath said. Initially inspired by the work he has seen in other university radio stations, Heath said he wanted to create a massive multimedia package. The new album, which was released Oct. 10, was part of that package. “The idea was we wanted to present some sort of multimedia performance,” Heath said. “And then be able to put it on the web or put it up and show people what happened.” The package features a live performance, an album utilizing the concert’s re-

cordings of rough rock and soft indie music and a video. Two bands featured are Charlie Patton’s War and the Broderick, both local bands. “Everything that you hear was done in one take,” he said. “I really think it captures the magic that radio wants to capture, which is live performance.” Heath said he could not have done it himself. To help, he brought in WIUX General Manager Bari Finkel along with the entirety of the WIUX crew. Also an IU senior, Finkel said her initial thoughts for the project were enthusiastic. “I totally want to be in-

volved with that,” she said. Finkel said the key to the album’s success is the ability that went into the work. Agreeing with her, Heath said three types of people went into the project — theater students, music majors and radio enthusiasts. “It was really fun,” Finkel said. “These students are unbelievably talented.” Looking back on the concert, she said despite the long process of getting the concert planned, it all happened in a concentrated, short amount of time — almost like a delayed chain reaction. Heath said the album was a way for him to give back to

Whether it is the two bands that both frequently appear on WIUX airwaves or the sheer amount of work the students put forth, Heath said he wants others to hear how hard everyone worked. “The fun story about it is that it’s 40-plus college kids all coming together not ever doing this,” Heath said. “It was really rewarding seeing how hard people worked. And the coolest thing WIUX has done in the last few years — even in the last decade.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE B5 When “The Price Is Right” theme song sounded its opening notes, the audience was up again. A brief video on the history of the show was aired. Following the clip, announcer Andy Martello stepped onstage. “You all came here to win prizes, right?” he asked, and the deafening applause answered the question. He went through a short tutorial on how the audience should act during the show. The tutorial showed audience members how to “come on down” in the proper fashion and how to correctly “ooh” and “aah” at the prizes as they were announced. People watched and listened intently and demonstrated when Martello prompted them. Finally, it seemed like everyone was ready. When host Pat Finn walked onstage, he introduced himself and made a reference to Indiana. “There are two things I know about Hoosiers,” he said. “One, you know how to win. And two, you know how to have fun.” Rounds of contestants were called and brought up to “Contestant Row” for the chance to win big prizes. Potential prize winners included IU students and a current professor at the University. During the show, several contestants had the chance to correctly guess the prices of several varied items for

the opportunity to win big prizes. Prizes included a brand new iMac computer, a car and a $5,000 cash prize, among other possibilities. Finn led the contestants through classic games from the 41-year-old game show, including “Cliff Hanger,” “Hole in One” and “PunchA-Bunch.” The stage was complete with flashing lights, grand displays of prizes and a model in a flashy dress. Although most people who went up on stage were not ultimate prize winners, all won cash prizes of some sort. At random, several people were picked to win $25 Subway gift cards, though they weren’t given the chance to play any games. The audience went wild when one woman won a trip to Las Vegas, one of the biggest take-homes of the night. Another peak in the energy of the room came when the grand showcase prize was announced — a new car. The greatest excitement, though, seemed to come when Finn announced that, straight from Hollywood, the “Big Wheel” event had come to IU. Sure enough, the iconic structure was unveiled, and three contestants at a time were able to spin for a chance at $1,000. The tension that hung in the air between price guesses was palpable, and the relief and excitement when someone won could be felt throughout the auditorium. “I love it,” Farmer said.

Sisters bring talent to Bloomington BY ALEXANDRA MAHONEY almahone@indiana.edu

When a former IU Jacobs School of Music student taught her two daughters to sing and play music together, a power sister duo emerged. On Sept. 28, the folkalternative sister duo Lily and Madeleine Jurkiewicz performed at the 20th anniversary of Bloomington’s Lotus World Music and Arts Festival. Lily and Madeleine were raised in Indianapolis, where their mother taught them to sing and play piano at a young age. Madeleine lived in Bloomington in the fall, following in her mother’s footsteps as a freshman at IU. “Our mother sang a lot in high school and in college here at IU,” Madeleine said. “She knew piano and guitar as well, so she just loved music her whole life and taught us to love music as well.” Madeleine said that is why music has naturally and always been a part of her life. “People are born with different talents,” Madeleine said. “I was never very athletic, but I always loved music and have always been able to sing. I continued to do this as I grew up, and my mom supported both of us and helped us to develop our skills.” Besides singing, Madeleine, 18, plays the piano and Lily, 16, plays the piano, guitar, ukulele and banjo. The girls were raised on music including the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel. They said these bands influenced their style and sound. As for modern-day musicians, Lily said she and her sister have often been compared to other folk-alternative sister duos such as First Aid Kit and Tegan and Sara. “We love Tegan and Sara and First Aid Kit, so it’s an honor to be compared to them,” Lily said. “I think we differ from them in that we can’t create their sound. It’s hard to write a song that sounds like Tegan and Sara without ending up with a song that sounds like Lily

and Madeleine. It’s just natural for us to be how we are.” Lily and Madeleine gained popularity after releasing a video on YouTube of their first original song “In the Middle,” which now has more than 300,000 views. The video for “In the Middle,” done entirely unplugged in black and white, has no added instrumentation or flare. “We didn’t want to sugarcoat it or make it seem like it’s something that it’s not,” Madeleine said. “We wanted to keep our music as it is — no gimmicks.” Because of this instant success, the girls sold out the first two live shows of their career. After receiving tremendous feedback from YouTube audiences, Lily and Madeleine were signed onto Asthmatic Kitty Records, an independent label co-founded by singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens. “Madge and I have been obsessed with Sufjan for years, so we were absolutely freaking out when we got the call from our manager that he wanted to sign us,” Lily said. “We’re so lucky to have been taken under the wing of Asthmatic Kitty.” Lily and Madeleine released their first EP called “The Weight of the Globe” in

January, produced by Paul Mahern with the songwriting help of Kenny Childers from Gentlemen Caller. Many of the songs in Lily and Madeleine’s EP discuss the difficult transition from adolescence to adulthood. Because of their age, the sisters said they struggle to find balance between school, their music and their relationships. “We’re trying to go about it one day at a time,” Madeleine said. “At times, yeah, it freaks me out and makes me feel uncertain. It’s so normal for kids at my age to be in college and just study, get a degree, get a job and that’s your life. “Lily and I are taking a different route, and at times it can be a little odd for us. It’s important for me to continue my education now, but I hope that in the future I can dedicate all my time to my music.” The sisters are planned to release their first full selftitled debut album Oct. 29. “The new album focuses on many different emotions,” Madeleine said. “Some people say the EP is kind of sad. I don’t want to seem dark, but at the time we wrote it, it just happened to be that a lot of my influences were kind of sad.” But Madeleine said the

album isn’t all dark. “It has a lot to do with the opportunity we received and how amazing our career has been so far,” she said. “It’s more positive lyrically. Lily and I were also a lot more involved with the production side. “We had some experience with the EP and still don’t know how to fully produce an album on our own, but we went into the studio knowing what we wanted it to sound like.” Lily and Madeleine have upcoming tours in New York and Chicago, and they will be traveling to London, Berlin and Paris in October for their first time performing abroad. “I’m not familiar with the music audiences in Europe, so it will be cool to see how people react and just to share our music with another part of the world,” Madeleine said. As opposed to performances in major cities around the U.S. and performing abroad, Madeleine said they enjoy performing locally at places such as Lotus Fest. “We like playing local shows, because it’s the scene where we grew up,” she said. “We’re really excited to go to other big places, but there’s something about being local. It’s familiar and comforting.”

» STREEP

CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 then.” Streep received her undergraduate degree from Vassar College and decided to apply to drama school at Yale. She signed up for law boards in her third year, because she still didn’t believe she had the right to be an actress, Streep said. “Many of my friends woke up at 3 years of age and said, ‘I have to be on stage,’” Streep said. “I never had that. I’ve always been an omnivore, and I actually fell into the profession that fed all my appetites.” Streep said she slept through the law boards, because she had a performance the night before, and the rest was history. She graduated and quickly got work. She said the day she paid off her student loans was the happiest day of her life. After graduation, Streep appeared in several theater productions and later made the transition to film. She said every role is different and requires something new. “The whole movie happens in a moment between you and who you’re working with,” she said. “You have no idea what they’re going to bring, so the preparation only goes so far. You have to throw away all your preconceived ideas.” One way she connects with her characters is by being empathetic for the person she is playing. “It is possible for people of very diverse backgrounds to feel the feelings of someone not remotely like them,” Streep said. “Even crossing the gender line and the age line, even all the things that divide us. You can still feel what that person feels. That’s such an interesting, underused quality human beings have.” That gender line has been clouded in more recent times, Streep said. Now, women lead big corporations like Sony and Universal. “The business is changing,” Streep said. “That’s a

really big difference from when I started. There was almost an impenetrable line of suits.” Her advice for women acting today is to not worry too much about their weight. “Girls spend way too much time thinking about that,” she said. For all actors, Streep advised finding the thing that’s weird about them and using it to their advantage. Directors pick up the people who are different, Streep said. This coming year, Streep will appear in three different films — “The Giver,” “Into the Woods” and “The Homesman.” Despite all of the fame and awards, Streep said she feels lucky for her opportunities. “I feel very, very guilty when the litany of my awards is trotted out, because I feel like there are many women my age, in our industry, who are plenty capable of the work I’ve been doing,” Streep said. “The only reason I have a career at 64 is because I had hits late in life.” The event ended with a discussion of Streep’s role in the 2015 movie, “Suffragette,” about the heavy violence that occurred during Britain’s women’s suffrage movement. Streep watched the only video available of her character, Emmeline Pankhurst. Because she had never seen herself on camera or video, Pankhurst’s movements were not self-aware. “She has a demeanor you will never be able to achieve,” Streep said. “You’ve all been photographed and know what you seem like. You’re used to your outer performance.” Streep found the video interesting because nothing was designed about Pankhurst’s movements. “You could see the difference between people now who are so used to seeing themselves as objects and the people who are so in the gestalt of their bodies,” Streep said. “It taught me something about how to strive for unselfconsciousness.”

Cupcakes from Rainbow Cafe were for sale at Big Red Eats Green Sept. 10, 2013, outside the IU Art Museum.

Local shops serve samples at Big Red Eats Green BY RACHEL OSMAN rcosman@indiana.edu

Local food and music invaded the front of the IU Art Museum Sept. 10 as part of the Big Red Eats Green food festival. Organized by the IU Office of Sustainability, Big Red Eats Green brought local restaurants, food growers and speakers to teach guests about the benefits of eating locally, while they sampled some of Bloomington’s sustainable food options. Many students stopped by the festival between classes and bought food from the various vendors, including Lennie’s, Laughing Planet Cafe, Sweet Claire’s Bakery, BLU Boy Chocolate Café and Cakery and Upland Brewing Company. Student groups also promoted their sustainabilityfocused initiatives. “Vegan and vegetarian food is sustainable and environmentally friendly,” IU junior and VegIU treasurer Becca Polk. “We’re trying to spread the word about these types of foods on campus.”

Senior Erin Kilhefner is the membership and publicity director of the Student Sustainability Council, which brings together representatives of several student organizations on campus to advance issues of sustainability. “We try to pass initiatives as a collective community and work together to promote and accomplish projects,” Kilhefner said. Kit Gambill served as cocoordinator of Big Red Eats Green. She said she grew up on a small farm near Terre Haute and was raised on local food. “When I got to Bloomington, I was so impressed by the amount of local food that was available, and it was great being able to eat food that I grew up on,” Gambill said. However, she said she realizes many students did not have an upbringing like hers, and they lack knowledge about the subject. “They know about restaurants, but they don’t know that a lot of these restaurants get their food from

local farms and that a lot of their ingredients come from people who live 20 minutes away,” Gambill said. “They don’t know the importance of eating locally and what their options are, and Big Red Eats Green helps reveal that.” In addition to eating food, guests were given an opportunity to listen to three presentations from IU faculty members. Christine Barbour, a senior lecturer in the political science department, discussed the importance of knowing where food comes from, and she presented ways to eat more sustainably. “It matters where our food comes from,” Barbour said. “Food tastes better when it’s thoughtfully produced.” She also said food has a bigger effect than many people think. “The way that we eat, the way that we nurture ourselves, feeds more than just our stomachs,” Barbour said.

Bloomington’s Waffle House is demolished Sept. 19, 2013. It was the second oldest restaurant in Bloomington, and it closed after 46 years of operation.

A bittersweet end Regulars say goodbye to Waffle House, Bloomington’s second-oldest restuarant

BY JESSICA CONTRERA mjcontre@indiana.edu

On the final morning, before the waffle irons went cold and the pictures came down, before the lock refused to lock, before the claw crashed through the roof, the old man paced. Tap, tap, tap. Bud Powell’s aluminum cane led the way as he circled the floor of Bloomington’s Waffle House. His Waffle House. That Wednesday last September, the owner didn’t know what to do with himself. The smell of frying oil, the same greasy perfume that had greeted customers for 46 years, wafted into his nose as he wandered past the vinyl booths. He sat down, then stood up again. Bud — everyone called him Bud — checked on the dwindling supply of breakfast sausage, peered into the nearly empty freezers, tried to explain to his regulars why it had to be this way. “It’s time,� he said again and again. At 79, Bud was tired. Except for Christmas, the restaurant was always open, day and night. Now a developer wanted to replace it with

another apartment building for college kids. The offer was too good to pass up. “Where are we gonna eat?� the old-timers kept asking. “I don’t know,� Bud said. “Where am I gonna eat?� This had been his place for 16,767 mornings. None ever felt like this. The weariness showed in his eyes, behind the wire rim glasses and in the hunch of his shoulders. After the Waffle House was torn down, he knew he wouldn’t see most of his customers again. Tap, tap, tap. Bud plodded past the grill, where the last of the eggs sizzled. The ever-dependable waitresses whizzed by, balancing plates, like today was no different. Most of the students had stopped visiting years ago. The smoking ban forced out the puffers. Many of the regulars grew so old that they died or went to nursing homes. Once Bud decided to close, it all slipped away even faster. Some of his staff had taken other jobs. The gumballs emptied out of the shiny red machine. No one bothered to mark the white board with the daily special.

They would close at precisely 3 p.m. Bud checked his watch, ignoring the broken wall clock, its hands frozen for more years than he could remember, stuck in time. It suited the place. *** The Waffle House was the second oldest restaurant in Bloomington, established only after Nick’s English Hut. Bud Powell and his wife Myra opened the restaurant, one of the first Waffle House franchises in the country, on Oct. 10, 1967. Its first year of business saw IU football’s first and final trip to the Rose Bowl, Nixon’s successful run for the presidency and the death of Martin Luther King Jr. It was the kind of place you could come alone and still end up talking to a dozen people. Students stumbled in between late-night bar stops, and senior citizens rolled their walkers in before doctor appointments. Cops hung out there so often, it seemed no coincidence the place was never robbed. The legends showed up from time to time — Bobby Knight,

Woody Hayes — but it was the regulars who received special treatment. Everybody knew everybody. Senior night was Tuesday. You could bring your girlfriend, your kids, your mother-in-law — everyone was family. You’d scoot into a scuffed booth, turn your well-worn mug right side up and look over the laminated menu, but you already knew what they were serving. At all hours, you could order waffles. Or strip steak. Or corn dogs. But it didn’t really matter, because going to the Waffle House wasn’t about the food. It was about walking into a place where the fastest moving thing would be the coffee pouring into your cup. No matter what was going on in the world outside, no matter how your life was changing, the Waffle House would be there — the smell, the fake plants, the ceiling cracks — always open, always the same. *** A week before the final day, the food was already running out.

Senator, liquor stores team up BY MARY HAUBER mhauber@indiana.edu

Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis, partnered with Big Red Liquors of Bloomington to help raise awareness of Indiana’s Lifeline Law. After the first home football game of the season of Aug. 29, all 13 Big Red Liquors in Bloomington placed flyers in customer’s bags about the Lifeline Law, and informational posters hung from walls in their stores. The Lifeline Law provides immunity for crimes of public intoxication, minor possession, minor consumption and minor transportation of alcohol to people who reveal themselves to law enforcement while seeking medical assistance for a person suffering from an alcohol-related emergency. Merritt said Big Red came to him with concern about where the alcohol goes once it leaves their stores. Merritt said officials at Big Red said they felt they have a connection with the community and wanted to be partners for raising awareness of the Lifeline Law. The Lifeline Law is made to encourage people call for help in alcohol-related emergencies when it is needed. However, the law does not provide legal protection to the individual in need of medical attention. “I am so pleased Big Red Liquors is willing to help in this important cause,” Merritt said in a press release. “Obviously they are con-

cerned about the community they invest in and where the legally purchased alcohol goes once it leaves their stores. “I’m confident this new push will have a positive impact and increase awareness of the Lifeline Law on campus.” Matt Colglazier, Big Red media and promotions director, agreed. “Big Red has a really unique platform to speak directly to the audience that needs to know about the Lifeline Law, and we felt like as a responsible business that it was the right thing to do,” Colglazier said. Colglazier said as Big Red started this Lifeline awareness process, they discovered people did not really know about it, and if they had heard of it, they were not sure about the details. Alcohol is against the law for minors, and they should not be consuming it, Merritt said. However, he acknowledged the fact that people do make mistakes and people do binge drink. “Keep calm, call 911 and save a life,” Merritt said. In order to raise awareness across the state of Indiana, Merritt has traveled to 15 high schools and numerous college campuses within the past year to talk about Indiana’s Lifeline Law. Merritt said the evidence the law has been successful is in the stories he hears. “I do believe it’s working,” Merritt said. “That’s why I continue to get up every morning — to figure out how to spread the word.”

HJR 3 debate finished for now BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu

INDIANAPOLIS — When this all started, the halls of the Statehouse were full of citizens shouting, singing and chanting, trying to make their voices heard. Thirty-five days later, some of the activists had stopped coming. There were fewer calls for “liberty for all Hoosiers” or to “let citizens vote.” The Senate vote passed with a smaller audience, a few dozen onlookers, compared to the more than 100 who had been there in the past. That vote, a 32-17 affir-

mation of House Joint Resolution 3, ended the samesex marriage debate in the Indiana General Assembly for this session, but there could be more to come. The version of the constitutional amendment passed by the Senate Feb. 17 and the House of Representatives Jan. 28 must be passed by the legislature in 2015 or 2016 before Hoosier voters will see it on the ballot. Supporters of HJR 3 have been motivated by court cases throughout the country that have overturned laws banning same-sex marriage. SEE HJR 3, PAGE C4

City votes to override mayor’s deer veto BY KATE STARR kastarr@indiana.edu

Deer in the Griffy Lake Nature Preserve had a brief moment of relief when Mayor Mark Kruzan vetoed an ordinance that would allow limited sharpshooting in the area, but it didn’t last long. The Bloomington City Council voted to override Kruzan’s veto by a margin of 7-2 with no abstentions. After more than 10 hours of deliberation on the ordinance, the council thought its job was done. It was in the early hours of April 10 when the council passed the ordinance by a margin of 6-2 with one abstention. Council members Dave Rollo and Andy Ruff suggested sharpshooting as the most humane and effective way to deal with the adverse effects deer overpopulation is having on the Griffy Lake Nature Preserve. “This can over time result in a permanent alteration of the woodland, and this state may be irreversible,” Rollo said. But the deer debate was not finished yet. Kruzan returned Rollo and Ruff ’s ordinance April 11 without his signature. He refused to support a piece of legislation that involved “the killing of animals,” Kruzan said in a letter to the council. Kruzan said he was not convinced of Rollo and Ruff ’s logic. “I fully understand a sufficient number of votes were cast to overturn a veto, but I can’t lend my name to the passage of a pro-hunting

law,” Kruzan said in the letter. Ruff pointed out that the venison from the deer killed would go to Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry, a benefit he said he thinks the city should take into serious consideration. Bloomington’s municipal code does not allow any use of a firearm within city limits unless it is discharged by a law enforcement officer or used in self-defense. The ordinance proposed by the council would amend the code to allow professional sharpshooters to cull the deer population at Griffy. As was the case for previous council meetings, public comment was split. However, a majority of the comments came from opponents of the ordinance. “I want to praise the council for passing this last time it came up, and encourage those who voted yes for it last time to vote yes again, those who voted no to vote yes and even those who abstained to vote yes,” said Cathy Meyer, Naturalist of Monroe County Parks and Recreation Department. Bloomington resident Scott Wells agreed, and showed a Power Point presentation explaining why the deer are not just a Griffy problem, but a county-wide problem. Wells’ biggest concern was deer “munching on trees,” he said. “I’ve actively pursued Bambi. I said, ‘Bambi, no, no, don’t eat my trees,’” Wells said. “We’ve got to get this balance back, and, unfortunately, we need to take the

emotion out of it.” Bloomington resident Bruce Bundy said he was in favor of the ordinance. Deer overpopulation is a serious problem in Indiana, he said, and the city needs sharpshooting to fix it. Because there are no predators to moderate the deer population at Griffy, humans have a responsibility to protect the environment, Bundy said. “Humans are the only apex predators left,” Bundi said. Costs to the city for hiring professional sharpshooters was estimated to be about $30,000 annually. Bloomington resident Timothy Baer said he was disappointed and saddened by the council’s vote. He also pointed out that sharpshooters will target pregnant does and fawns. “Problem-solving by killing is flatly wrong,” Baer said. “There is nothing ‘humane’ about killing healthy, innocent, sentient deer.” Bloomington resident Laramie Wilson, who lives in the southern portion of the Griffy neighborhood, asked the council to override the ordinance. She argued vital information, including the number of deer in Griffy as well as the number of deer that will be killed, must be verified before sharpshooting can begin. “The council should not amend the firearms code until these questions are answered,” Wilson said. Council member Darryl Neher said he appreciates everyone who participated in

the public comment, but he still intended to vote to override the ordinance. Council member Marty Spechler also said he would vote for the override, because Kruzan didn’t address the potential environmental effects of allowing the deer to live peacefully at Griffy. “I don’t want to put deer against flowers, but I view the birds, and I value the birds, and I value the flowers every day, and we will continue to value the deer when they’re reduced to a number that are healthy,” Spechler said. Sandra Shapshay, assistant professor in the IU Department of Philosophy, and Anne Sterling, Midwest regional director of the Humane Society of the United States, agreed and also argued no legitimate evidence has been provided to suggest there is an “ecological catastrophe demanding immediate legal action,” Shapshay said. Maria Heslin, former Bloomington deputy mayor, provided a slightly different perspective, suggesting the ordinance goes against the city’s mission to “promote, preserve and enhance Bloomington, Indiana’s distinct identity and vibrant quality of life.” “I have total faith in our community to develop an innovative plan that would prevent us, at least right now, from needing to sharpshoot deer,” Heslin said. Heslin added she hoped the community would arrive at a solution “that is truly Bloomington.”

» HJR 3

CONTINUED FROM PAGE C2 That’s why they want it in the constitution — it’ll be harder to overturn. “It began when unelected judges started interpreting the people’s statutes and changing what they said,” Sen. Michael Young, R-Indianapolis, said before voting for HJR 3. “I’d rather have 6 million people decide this than one judge.” Opponents have used economic arguments and emotional stories to drive their point home. But in their final pleas to vote no, Democrats argued the issue is about more than job benefits or a positive business environment. “This is the United States of America,” Sen. Jim Arnold, D-LaPorte, said. “We open our arms to everybody, whether we agree with their opinions or not.” The session on Feb. 17 brought out another unexpected no vote for HJR 3 — Sen. Mike Delph, R-Carmel, one of the General Assembly’s staunchest opponents to same-sex marriage. Delph announced in a press conference that he would not support the watered-down language presented to the Senate. The original version of HJR 3 included a second provision, which would have banned civil unions and any other legal status similar to marriage for those who are not married. The House of Representatives eliminated that sentence, which had caused controversy and was one of the chief arguments used by opponents, including IU and other major employers. This change is why Hoosier voters won’t see the amendment on the ballot in November. The 2011 legislature had approved the old language, but this version is too different. “The can keeps getting kicked down the road while the culture changes and opponents grow,” Delph said. “The State of Indiana needs to bring this issue to closure once and for all.”

THE 10-YEAR BATTLE This fight didn’t start this year or even last session. It stretches back through 10 years of failed attempts, dozens of votes and hundreds of expert witnesses. Before this fight began, marriage was something for one man and one woman, by definition of Indiana law. That law is still on the books today, Indiana Code 31-11-1: “Only a female may marry a male. Only a male may marry a female.” But a court decision hundreds of miles away called everything into question. On Nov. 18, 2003, the Massachusetts Supreme Court struck down a state law defining marriage as between only one man and one woman. Within three years, 23 states had passed constitutional amendments like the one the Indiana Senate approved Feb. 17, for a total of 26 constitutional bans nationwide. Massachusetts was still the only state where gay and lesbian couples could legally marry. Hoosier lawmakers argued that a constitutional amendment would help prevent judges from redefining marriage and keep the state in line with its history. “This bill will allow Indiana to stay in line with other states that want to preserve traditional marriages,” Sen. Brandt Hershman, R-Wheatfield, said in 2005. “With malice toward no one, this bill would be in keeping with history.” In the time since then, the tide of public opinion has started to turn. As of February, 29 state constitutions still banned same-sex marriage, but 16 states and Washington, D.C., perform them. Meanwhile, in Indiana, the General Assembly has played legislative pingpong, sending joint resolutions back and forth in what have proven to be futile efforts to amend the state constitution, which requires overcoming three steep barriers: passage by the legislature twice, with an election in between and support from a majority of voters. “As far as how easy or dif-

ficult it is and how lengthy it is to amend the constitution, Indiana is on the far end,” said Steve Sanders, associate professor with the IU Maurer School of Law. “That’s a pretty rigorous set of hurdles to get over.” They came close twice, in 2007 and in January. The first time, a resolution that had been passed by the 2005 General Assembly and the 2007 Senate stalled in a House committee. This year, a drastic language change on the House floor means this is the first consecutive legislature to approve the amendment. “For a while, the people who were controlling the various branches of state government didn’t see it as a high priority,” Sanders said. “A year ago they didn’t even bring it up. Now this year they decided it’s important we do it.” Yet Sanders said the urgency could be short-lived. He thinks the U.S. Supreme Court could have resolved the same-sex marriage debate nationwide by 2016, the next time the legislature will be in the this position.

“I’d say it is highly likely this issue is going to return to the Supreme Court this year. When it gets to the Supreme Court, I think the court is going to strike these laws down. I think they’re going to say same-sex marriage is a constitutional right,” Sanders said. “If not this year, then certainly by the 2015-2016 Supreme Court term, the court’s going to have answered this question, and we’re going to have moved on to other things.” PARTIAL VICTORIES When the Senate convened after an hour and a half of delays caused by lengthy party caucus meetings, those present in the chamber stood up for a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Out in the hallway, the few dozen activists who had gathered to watch the vote through windows said the Pledge quietly. As the familiar phrases drew to a close, their voices rose in unison. “With liberty and justice for all,” they shouted,

the sounds reverberating through the Statehouse. Volunteers with Freedom Indiana, a group devoted to defeating HJR 3, had turned up at the Statehouse for every hearing and every vote. Sometimes, pro-HJR 3 activists affiliated with a variety of groups came, too, and little arguments cropped up in the crowded hallways around the windows to the House and Senate chambers, but not Monday. Anti-HJR 3 activists cheered and yelled throughout the debate, but when Senate President Pro Tempore David Long, R-Fort Wayne, announced the final vote, no one spoke. The crowd dissipated, and the Senate moved on with its business. Freedom Indiana didn’t accomplish its primary goal of defeating HJR 3, but the group’s leaders don’t view the session as a complete loss either, Megan Robertson, campaign manager, said. “We’re excited the second sentence was taken out and we’re not going to referendum,” she said. “If you’d asked me a few months ago,

I’d have said we’d have a referendum in 2014.” While Freedom Indiana gathered on the top floor of the Statehouse to celebrate a partial victory, some legislators who support a marriage definition amendment were doing the same in the Senate. Sen. Delph and the socially conservative organizations whose leaders joined him in the Feb. 17 press conference weren’t the only supporters of HJR 3 who expressed concerns about voting for language that didn’t include the second sentence. Other Republicans, including Sen. Scott Schneider, R-Indianapolis, said they went back and forth about whether or not they could support a constitutional amendment that didn’t ban civil unions and couldn’t be on the ballot in November. “I’m a big fan of oneman, one-woman marriage, and I’m a big fan of the language we voted on in 2011,” Schneider said before voting yes. “Sometimes you have to learn to take half a loaf instead of the whole loaf.”

Event raises awareness about child abuse, neglect BY EMILY ERNSBERGER emelerns@indiana.edu

Cool temperatures and light rain did not stop more than 70 people from gathering on the Monroe County Courthouse lawn for a Child Abuse and Neglect Awareness event April 8. The annual event, sponsored by the Monroe County Department of Child Services, brought people together to raise awareness about helping

abused children. “What we’re doing today is very simple but effective,” Monroe County DCS director Harmony Gist said. Organizations tailored to children — such as WonderLab Museum of Science, Health and Technology, Magic Inc., Community Partners for Child Safety, Youth Services Bureau of Monroe County and Safe Place — gave information to attendees about how to help abused children.

Bloomington fire and police departments were also present. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, instated by President Ronald Reagan in 1983 to raise awareness about the issue. Speakers at the event included Bloomington resident Tiffany Coleman, who dealt with a lifetime of foster care,

abuse, molestation and abandonment. She spoke about how being abused as a child affected her adult life. “Sometimes I catch myself asking a lot of questions at work,� she said. “Sometimes I catch myself questioning my parenting choices.� Coleman said many people in her school helped her survive her abuse, such as her teachers, her principal and her guidance counselor. “I encourage you to be an advocate for your kids and support your kids,� Coleman said. “You can be that person in your child’s life.� Monroe County Circuit Court Judge Steven Galvin also spoke at the event. He pushed for reform, challenging where money is spent to treat child abuse. “We spend millions of dollars on consequences,� Galvin said. “Every day, we spend money on what happened to children instead of focusing

on preventing that abuse and neglect.� Galvin advocated for investment in early-year development of children and families. He said if the community focused on those problems, other issues in their lives would be avoided later on, such as health problems, premature mortality, low educational achievement, mental illness, crime and substance abuse. “If this community can’t do it, no one can,� Galvin said. Speakers were followed by a candle-lit procession and a performance by the St. Charles Catholic Church Children’s Choir. This past year, more than 25,000 cases of child abuse or neglect were reported in Indiana. “People say, ‘Oh, these things won’t happen here,’� said Kelli Shannon, Resource Development Coordinator for the Court Appointed Special Advocates. “But they do.�

Dick Leyda slid into a booth for a meal he ordered a few times a week – sandwich and soup. He kept it simple. “Chicken salad sandwich, please,� he told Mary, who had been working there for 24 years. “We’re out of that, dear,� Mary said. “Ham salad?� “That too.� Leyda settled for egg salad. He was one of the few people at the restaurant who wasn’t called by his first name. But mostly he’d be called “dear� or “honey� anyway. A few years before, he had rarely been seen at the Waffle House, or anywhere else, without his wife Carole. When Carole started needing a walker to get around, they still came to the restaurant. She’d order French toast and bacon from Hootie, one of their favorite waitresses. Always French toast and bacon. At home, Carole wasn’t so predictable. Without Leyda ever really noticing, his wife had begun filling up their children’s old bedrooms with newly bought items. Shoes still in their boxes, beautiful shirts and dresses from Talbots in the closet, never worn. Carole had never been a big shopper, and certainly not a hoarder. “Dad,� said their daughter. “I think Mom is having problems.� Carole was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Slowly, she forgot how to walk. When they went to Waffle House, Leyda brought a caregiver who could help her inside. Leyda read the menu out loud. Carole ordered French toast and bacon. Then two years ago, Carole moved into Garden Villa, a senior center. She and her husband still ate together each morning, usually popsicles or chocolate bars. They sang together — �Amazing Grace,� “God Bless America� and “A Bicycle Built for Two.� Carole used to sing with him. Now, she mouthed the words. He always kissed her goodbye, and she always kissed back, except for when she wasn’t ready for him to leave. When Leyda drove away, he headed straight to the Waffle House. “How’s Carole doing this week?� Mary always asked, coffee pot in hand. “Oh, good, good,� he said. “She lights up when I come in the room.� Sometimes Leyda ate with Bud, sometimes with an insurance salesman, from whom he never bought insurance. Often he ate alone, but with so many waitresses who knew him, it wasn’t really like being alone at all. Today he sat with Rose Thomas, his neighbor on Covenanter Drive. “He comes in here nine days a week,� Rose said. So did she. Other than her church, the Waffle House was about the only place Rose felt comfortable going alone since Stan, her husband of 65 years, passed away this past year. They used to eat at the restaurant together. From time to time she’d retell how the two of them met, a long and winding story involving a Ouija board and a flirtatious secretary rival. Now going on two years without him, Rose still talked to Stan’s picture on the wall above her piano. Her meal of choice was a Reuben and cobbler. Usually she lingered to chat and joke with Mary the waitress about how old the two of them were getting. “You remember when Martha Washington lent me her dress?� she said. “I’ve never been able to use it here. You know, the red one with the white lacy cuffs?� When she found out Waffle House was closing, Rose asked Bud if she could buy the restaurant’s dishware to donate it to her church. He told her she could have it for free. *** On the final morning, Leyda kissed Carole goodbye at Garden Villa. He was pretty sure she understood he was headed to their old place. “Well, this is gonna be the last time,� he said. She smiled. He arrived at the restaurant to find Rose already inside. He had eggs, toast and ham. She had peach cobbler. Bud continued his circling,

waiting for his watch to read 3 p.m. The freezer was empty now, except for one lonely cardboard box on the bottom shelf. John the dishwasher loaded each dish carefully into the industrial washing machine. “Those are clean, John,� Bud said. “I know, I know,� John mumbled. “Just doing it one more time, just to be sure.� Bud’s son Eric came through the kitchen door. “Are you ready to take the photos down?� Bud asked him. “No, let’s just wait.� A customer had brought a white sheet cake, decorated with yellow icing letters that read, “Waffle House, 19672013.� Bud snagged a piece, found a booth and leaned his cane on the burgundy tabletop. For years he had sat in these booths, looking out the window and watching the world change in ways he never could have imagined. The A&W drive-in across the street, the bus station one lot over, the pizza shop next door — one by one, all of them had been knocked down to make way for more apartments for college students. Within a year, the new five-story apartment building would rise right where he was sitting now. He glanced down at his watch again. Finally, 3 p.m. had arrived. This is it, he thought. He helped himself to a heaping spoonful of cake. And a few more. “Bud, the door won’t lock.� He looked up. Larry, the day’s manager, stood at the booth. After taping up handwritten “We are closed� signs, he had just spent five minutes fumbling at the door. The place hadn’t been closed since Christmas, and now the key wouldn’t turn. “The north door,� Larry said again. “It won’t lock.� Bud almost smiled. *** That evening, some volunteers from St. Charles Catholic Church helped Rose pick up the dishware. Once the boxes were unloaded, she stopped in a pew to pray. For Bud, for his wife Myra, for Stan. By the time she reached home, she was already imagining the donated dishes gracing a proper after-church coffee gathering. Some people might think paper cups were acceptable, but she knew better. She looked up at the framed portrait of her whitemustached husband in the corner. “Isn’t that right, Stan?� *** The next morning, Leyda and Carole started the day with mini Hershey’s bars on the patio of Garden Villa. They watched the residents move slowly in and out of the rehab center doors. Some of the residents waved to Carole. Leyda kissed her goodbye and pondered where to go next. Panera? Or Cheddar’s? McAlister’s? Maybe Bob Evans. He liked Bob Evans. Not the food. But Hootie, his favorite old Waffle House waitress, worked there now. *** Rain drizzled on a small cluster of witnesses. John the dishwasher and his girlfriend’s cousin. Bud’s son Eric in a pinstripe suit. They ignored the squishing in their shoes. Bud wasn’t there. Eight days into retirement, a pain in his right hip had sent him to the hospital. He’d been determined to see this, but was still recovering from hip replacement surgery. There was no eulogy or final words. The claw of a yellow CAT excavator dug into the corner of the Waffle House roof. With a crunch muffled by the rain, it all crashed down — the walls, the support beams, the fluffs of pink insulation. The claw rose again and took its next bite. Chunk by chunk, the Waffle House became rubble. “Maybe it’s better,� Eric said. “Maybe it’s better that he didn’t see it like this.�

Indiana attorney general Zoeller launches campaign against meth BRIANNA MEYER brilmeye@indiana.edu

This story originally printed Sept. 9, 2013 Indiana’s attorney general wants state residents to stop smurfing. Smurfing refers to the purchase of popular cold and allergy medicines containing pseudoephedrine for secondary sale to a methamphetamine producer. These medicines include Advil Cold and Sinus, Allegra-D, Claritin-D, Mucinex D and Sudafed. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller helped launch the State’s new anti-smurfing public awareness campaign Sept. 3. Separate from the public awareness campaign, Indiana law requires pseudoephedrine purchases be

limited to 3.6 grams per day, 7.2 grams per month and 61.2 grams annually. Pharmacists are required to record the name, address, ID number and signature of the purchaser. Zoeller joined representatives from the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, the Indiana Pharmacists Alliance and other organizations to launch the campaign, which involves posting flyers in pharmacies warning of the consequences of smurfing. The campaign was launched in Evansville because Vanderburgh County leads the state for the number of methamphetamine labs found so far in 2013, according to a press release from Zoeller’s office. Monroe County ranks third in the state for methamphetamine labs seized in 2012.

Zoeller said this initiative is aimed at stopping home production because of the great environmental and public health risks of the chemical exposure involved in methamphetamine production. “Home meth labs pose a health risk not only to the cookers, but also to the police who will inevitably have to clean them up,” Zoeller said. “Another big risk is explosion.” The Consumer Healthcare Products Association has also been spreading awareness. “Indiana now joins Kentucky, Missouri and Alabama in having this program in place,” said Elizabeth Funderburk, CHPA senior director of communications and public affairs. The initiative required the cooperation of the drug producers and retailers.

“The retailers participated and are very supportive of this voluntary initiative,“ Funderburk said. “The makers of these medicines are in the business of making people feel better and never want to see their medicines illegally diverted to manufacture methamphetamine.” Funderburk said CHPA researched poster ideas to find the balance of educating potential smurfers about consequences without alarming law-abiding people who want cold and allergy medicines. Zoeller said these posters will serve as fair warning to potential smurfers who cannot claim ignorance of the law once they are apprehended. He also said the posters are on display in Evansville and Terre Haute, and they are in distribution to pharmacies around the state.

A rider for the Black Key Bulls waves the team’s flag after having just won the Little 500 bicycle race April 26 at Bill Armstong Stadium. In the women’s race on April 25, Kappa Alpha Theta edged out Teter Cycling in a sprint to the finish, winning by just 0.132 seconds.

Black Key Bulls survives crash, wins men’s race BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu

The ingredients of a perfect storm were there. Seven teams were packed tightly together in the closing laps of the Little 500, seemingly headed for a historic seventeam sprint to the finish line. Each rider was biding his time, trying to determine when to make his sprint and break away from the pack. But there was no sprint to the line — only carnage — and Black Key Bulls emerged from the wreckage as champions of the 64th men’s Little 500 at Bill Armstrong Stadium this April. “It’s very satisfying,” Black Key Bulls rider Jacob Miller said. “I would be extremely disappointed with any other result, knowing we had a team that could win.” Black Key Bulls rode on the inside of Beta Theta Pi at the lead of the pack, or group or riders, with five teams riding directly behind. As the pack exited Turn 3 and entered Turn 4, contact ensued at the front of the pack. Beta’s Chris Craig lost control of his bike and crashed. The five riders behind Craig had nowhere to go as he and his fallen bike blocked the track, causing a six-team pileup. Black Key Bulls’ Miller was left unscathed on the inside line. Miller didn’t see the crash. As he checked behind his shoulder on the front stretch, he realized he was the only lead rider still up. He took the white and yellow flags simultaneously and

was able to coast the final lap of the race, giving Black Key Bulls its first ever Little 500 victory. “Craig caught a surge there before the barrier on Turn 3, so I just wanted to hold my line,” Miller said. “But at some point, I was like, ‘I’ve got to burst out my sprint now.’ “But I was like, ‘I gotta hold my line.’ So, he was kind of riding on the outside and had half a wheel on me, and we just kind of touched handlebars, and he fell. I didn’t see what happened behind me. I didn’t see everyone else went down.” Black Key Bulls’ winning time was 2:09:35.419. Phi Delta Theta came in second place, and Delta Tau Delta came in third. Delta Tau Delta’s Paul Smith credited a strong headwind and a dry track for making for tricky riding conditions. The looseness of the track combined with the intensity of the riders had part in prompting the crash. “It’s tense in there when there’s that many people,” Smith said. “You know something’s going to happen. I wouldn’t have expected a crash.” Black Key Bulls was nearly not in the lead pack to begin with. With about 10 laps remaining in the race, a bad exchange in a busy pit area left senior captain Steven Gomez with some distance to make up. He said he had to push harder than he had wanted, but he quickly caught up to the leading cluster of riders. Gomez would hand the

bike off to Miller, who joined the rest of the sprinters where the crash would eventually decide the fate of the race. “It was a hell of a race,” Phi Delta Theta’s Rob Lee said. “It’s part of Little Five. There’s a lot of luck that goes into winning this race. We did everything we could. “We controlled the race, controlled the pace out front, attacked and pushed the pace. It just didn’t play out for us at the end. A few of us went down and BKB pulled away.” Black Key Bulls entered the race as one of the favorites after capturing the white jersey with a win in Spring Series. The team finished in the top 10 each of its first eight years since the team formed, finishing as high as third in 2007, but the self-proclaimed “People’s Champs” were never able to get over the hump and win the coveted Borg-Warner Trophy. Miller was the only returning rider with race experience. His teammates — Gomez, Spencer Brauchla and Jimmy Rosati — all trained with the team, but the depth of the independent Black Key Bulls team meant they would need to wait their turn. For Gomez, a senior riding in his first and only Little 500, the wait was worth it to be crowned a champion of the Little 500. “This whole team, we made sacrifices for three years,” he said. “We put everything into it. It’s validation that it was worth it. It’s a good day, and it’s a surreal feeling. Just happy.”

Sophomore Nick Ramos catches a throw from junior Sam Travis during IU’s game against Purdue at Bart Kaufman Field. The Hoosiers finished the 2014 season as Big Ten champions and started postseason play in late May.

Baseball sweeps series with rival Purdue BY ANDREW VAILLIENCOURT availlie@indiana.edu

IU baseball players remember the brawl that occurred the last time IU and Purdue met, a game in 2012. Junior pitcher Luke Harrison said the Hoosiers wanted to put Purdue in its place this season after Purdue had beaten the Hoosiers in 2013. Other players echoed similar thoughts, saying they wanted to make it known who was the best team in the state of Indiana. From May 2-4, the Hoosiers got their revenge, sweeping the Boilermakers. They took the first game 6-0, the second game 7-3 and the third 12-3. No. 15 IU improved to 32-

12, 16-2 on the season, while Purdue dropped to 12-32, 5-13. As of May 5, the Hoosiers had a three-game lead on both Nebraska and Illinois for first place in the Big Ten. “We just don’t look at it like it’s Purdue,” IU Coach Tracy Smith said. “It’s another team in the Big Ten, and I thought we handled what we needed to handle this weekend to keep ourselves in contention to nail down a championship.” With the sweep, the Hoosiers had won 20 of their past 22 games. On Friday of the series, senior pitcher Joey DeNato picked up his 10th win of the season. He lowered his ERA to 2.06 with the shutout. Sophomore pitcher Christian Morris started and got the

win Saturday, his third start of the season. His ERA dropped to 2.25 after allowing only one hit in five and a third innings. Senior pitcher Brian Korte went 2-0 with the win Sunday, pitching five scoreless innings to lower his ERA to 1.78. “The weather, the atmosphere, the whole old school thing, it was pretty cool,” Korte said. “Looking back I’ll definitely remember this game.” IU had an old school theme for Sunday’s game. The team wore its throwback uniforms and hired an organ player, and the umpires were dressed in old-fashioned uniforms. The players put on a show for two record-setting crowds, with 3,661 attending the game Saturday and 3,862 Sunday,

setting the all-time record for an IU baseball game and breaking Saturday’s record. The series marked the first time IU had drawn more than 3,000 fans in each game of a three-game series. “We are proud of that,” Smith said. “This is what we thought it could be. I love that we give the people of Bloomington and the surrounding community, and maybe other people drove in from greater distances, something to enjoy at this time of year. I was very excited to see that, and it’s nice that we have the support.” The Hoosier offense was firing on all cylinders yet again, with 25 runs and 42 hits in the series. Senior third baseman

Dustin DeMuth went 3-for-3 with two doubles, six RBI and a walk. He boosted his batting average to .381, the highest on the team. “I think everyone was locked in today,” DeMuth said. “We wanted to come out and get the sweep, especially against Purdue. I thought we got off to a good start.” Junior catcher Kyle Schwarber also had a good series, with seven hits, two of them doubles and one a rocket of a home run, to increase his average to .348. “I got some pretty good barrel on it,” Schwarber said. “It was one you just watch.” With the win, the Hoosiers had seven of their nine starters hitting at least .298.

Sophomore pitcher Will Coursen-Carr, who was an important part of last year’s team, has struggled this season and came in to pitch in relief Sunday. He was pulled after hitting a batter and walking the next on four pitches. “We want to get him on track,” Smith said. “He is one of the best pitchers in this conference, whether he believes it or not. He’s just has to get his confidence back.” Schwarber said in his freshman year there were probably 50 to 100 spectators. “Now you have over 3,000,” Schwarber said. “It’s great to have people looking forward to coming to watch baseball and cheering us on. It adds an extra element to the game.”

Hoosiers lose to Illinois, fall from Big Ten Tourney BY JOHN BAUERNFEIND jogbauer@indiana.edu

His team had just lost in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, and a reporter asked IU Coach Tom Crean what he wanted to tell his players. Crean paused before answering. “Bottom line is we can play better,” Crean said. “You have to match the toughness and the competitive spirit every time that you play.” Illinois (19-13) beat IU (1715) 64-54 March 13, its third consecutive loss. “Really what I want to do is try to find a different way to say that message, because I’ve given it a few times,” he said. Despite going 0-for-10 from beyond the arc in the second half and turning the ball over 16 times, the Hoosiers found themselves down only one point late in the game. Sophomore forward Austin Etherington had just hit a layup off an assist from freshman forward Noah Vonleh to cut the Illini’s lead to 53-52 with 3:13 left. In the span of 58 seconds, the Hoosiers had gone on a 4-0 run, prompting Illinois Coach John Groce to call a timeout. Illinois hadn’t made a field goal in more than three minutes. The only thing helping it to maintain its lead were three made free throws from junior guard Rayvonte Rice. With one less timeout, Rice found himself driving to the rim for an open, yet off-balance layup. Illinois’ leading scorer’s attempt rolled off the rim and into Vonleh’s hands, his fifth rebound of the game. On the ensuing IU possession, Vonleh got the ball and without hesitation drove toward the rim with Illinois junior forward Nnanna Egwu on his hip. With two minutes 32 seconds to play, Vonleh and Egwu rose up at the same time, Egwu getting a piece of

Yogi Ferrell goes for two during the Hoosiers matchup against the Illini March 13 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Illinois won 64-54.

Vonleh’s shot. Jon Ekey grabbed the rebound, and the score remained 53-52 in the Fighting Illini’s favor. On Illinois’ next possession, the Hoosiers matched up man-to-man, but as the shot clock wore down switched to a 2-3 zone. In the midst of this, junior guard Tracy Abrams dribbled to the left side of the court behind the 3-point line. Rice stood in the corner. Abrams picked up his dribble. Rice slashed to the hoop on the baseline. Abrams faked a pass Rice’s way. With only sophomore guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell there to defend, Ferrell followed Rice as Abrams faked the pass. With Ferrell now out of his sight, Abrams pulled up for an open 3-point attempt. Ferrell tried to recover,

but his attempted contest of Abrams’ shot was too late. Abrams hit the shot, his 19th point, with two minutes six seconds left. “It was a defensive mistake,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “It’s something that we practice. It was just a mistake.” Abrams made six free throws during the final minute and 19 seconds of the game to put away Illinois’ 64-54 victory against IU in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. Those two plays, Egwu’s block of Vonleh and Abrams’ 3-pointer, proved to be the deciding factor. After the game, Etherington said he would want Vonleh taking that shot in that situation every time. “I thought it was a great drive, and give him another drive I bet he finishes it,” he SEE HOOSIERS, PAGE D6

#ROBVIOUSLY

Seniors end season with well-earned victory ROBBY HOWARD is a senior majoring in journalism.

The Hoosier football team’s fastest sprint Nov. 30 came at the end of the game. The clock expired on IU’s 56-36 thumping of Purdue, and the Hoosiers collectively ran to the Boilermakers sideline to collect their prize — the Old Oaken Bucket. In a season filled with disappointment, IU’s season ended as perfectly as it could. In that moment, no one was thinking about the failures of this team. Instead, the final moment people will think of for IU’s 2013 season is a moment of pure, unbridled bliss. And for the seniors, particularly wide receiver Kofi Hughes, tight end Ted Bolser, safety Greg Heban and kicker Mitch Ewald, it ended just as it should have. These seniors deserved the Bucket. They deserved that victory sprint. They deserved to take silly pictures with the Bucket. Take a minute to think about what they have had to go through: It’s the last group that was coached by former IU Coach Bill Lynch. They had to endure the process of adapting to a new coach as sophomores — a change several players didn’t survive. “There were so many other guys before Wilson that have now quit, whether they got kicked off or not,” Hughes said. Then there were the growing pains of adjusting to Wilson. IU won just one game in 2011. Times were tough. “There’s a lot of stuff behind the scenes that a lot of people don’t know about, and it wasn’t always easy to be a Hoosier,” Hughes said. In the 2012 season, IU made a small jump forward but still lost the Bucket Game, and the season ended on a sour note. That wasn’t the case for the

2013 campaign. After grabbing the Bucket from the Boilers, Bolser ended up with it and was instructed to carry it to the student section to sing, “Indiana, Our Indiana.” Somewhere in the swarm of singing Hoosiers, Bolser ended up handing off the Bucket to Hughes. He was happy to give it to his teammate. Hughes said he was happy to finally hold what he had been working for dur-

ing the past four years. “Holding that bucket and being in that moment is a great statement — a great ending for this long journey that me, personally, that I’ve been on and with everything that has happened and this team and everything we’ve fought through,” Hughes said. “The adversity that IU football has had to go through is really tremendous.” After the game, players took pictures with the Bucket.

At the center of one of the pictures sits Bolser, Hughes and Heban, grinning. “Being around all those guys at the end of the game with the Bucket, it’s just memories. Just building memories,” Heban said. While the three are some of the only players on the team who know what it’s like to win the Bucket, this one was different. Hughes said as a freshman he was on the outer edge of the

picture. His time with the Bucket was brief. Nov. 30, he was the one hoisting the Bucket above his head because he knew all that it represented. “The last four years I’ve been able to really know what the meaning is behind the Bucket, especially as a senior,” Hughes said. “I don’t think you can really understand how significant the Bucket Game is until you are a senior, until

you’re in those shoes.” This group that has been through so much finished with a sweet win, and the seniors left the program in better shape than when they came in. Now, the program has direction. The program has discipline. They know what they want, and they have set out a way to achieve their goals. SEE BUCKET, PAGE D6

Hoosiers’ WNIT run ends BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu

The IU women’s basketball team’s historic season came to an end March 30 in Brookings, S.D., as South Dakota State defeated IU 76-64 in the quarterfinal round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. The Jackrabbits ended the Hoosiers’ run in the WNIT by building an opening half lead and converting on timely shots in the second half. They spoiled IU’s comeback hopes every time IU began to make a run. Despite shooting well — IU shot 44.4 percent from the floor and 8-of-18 from beyond the arc — IU could not match offensive spurts and defensive stops long enough to regain the lead. “The stats are nearly identical,” IU Coach Curt Miller said. “The big difference was we just couldn’t get to the foul line like they did. We said coming in here that we had to be 10 points better than them to win the game, and we weren’t.” In the early half of the game, the Hoosiers (21-13) and Jackrabbits (26-9) exchanged baskets. After being tied at 13-13 with 13:28 left in the first half, the Jackrabbits made a 6-0 run to pull ahead. They quickly added a 12-3 run shortly after to build a 25-16 lead. The Hoosiers responded with a 10-0 run to go up 26-25 with 4:39 remaining in the first half, but that would be the last time IU would lead. South Dakota State used an 11-3 run to close the opening half to take a 36-29 lead into halftime. Freshman guard Alexis Gassion began to heat up during the second half and cut the deficit to 54-51 with 7:33 remaining, but South Dakota State senior Steph Paluch would convert on a 3-pointer on the following possession. Shots like Paluch’s 3-pointer were common in the second half, stymieing IU’s comeback hopes. IU’s final push came as senior forward Tabitha Gerardot cut the deficit to five

points with 3:21 remaining, but senior forward Hannah Strop nailed a 3-pointer during South Dakota State’s next possession. Down by 10 points with two minutes remaining, Brooks threw a crosscourt pass to freshman Taylor Agler, who wasn’t paying attention. The ball went past Agler and out of bounds, much to the delight of the 3,792 fans packed into Frost Arena. Gassion finished the game tying a career-high 22 points. Her emergence as a scorer down the stretch of the season has impressed Miller, he said. “She’s really come on offensively,” Miller said. “She’s had a great second half of the year. She’s got more and more confidence, so it’s really exciting how young we are.” IU’s 21 wins tied a program record for most wins in a single season. The Hoosiers also scored 2,369 points — the

second most in a single year — thanks in large part to making a program-record 259 3-pointers this year. Miller said multiple times that he was excited about his team’s success and that the Hoosiers are ahead of his schedule. He said he believes the Hoosiers have set a framework for a program that can become a contender in the Big Ten in upcoming years, crediting the seniors who played their final games for helping rebuild the program. “I can’t thank them enough,” Miller said. “They had a lot of adversity and, frankly, not a lot of success. They’re listening to a new coach coming in after they’ve won six games ...They were the biggest believers, and they helped us start something that we think has a chance to be special.”

Women’s soccer wins first NCAA Tournament game BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu

In the 69th minute of IU’s first-round NCAA Tournament game Nov. 16, 2013, against DePaul, freshman midfielder Veronica Ellis subbed in. Seven minutes later, she found herself at the bottom of a dog pile of overjoyed teammates. She had scored what would prove to be the lone goal of the game — the game-winning goal. With Ellis’ goal, IU (15-6-1) defeated DePaul (13-6-2) 1-0 at Jerry Yeagley Field to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament where it would face top-seeded North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C. It was the biggest goal of her career, her third game-

winner of the season. And it came less than 24 hours after the death of her grandfather. “It made me think he was just watching over me tonight,” Ellis said. In the 74th minute, senior midfielder Lisa Nouanesengsy sent a corner kick into the box that was cleared out by the DePaul defense. Junior midfielder Tori Keller gathered the cleared ball and chipped it back into the box. Senior forward Rebecca Candler gathered the ball and settled it. She drew the DePaul goalie Alejandria Godinez toward her. Candler flicked the ball toward Ellis. With the DePaul goalie out of place, Ellis got to the ball. “I saw the keeper coming out,” Ellis said. “I knew that I just had to beat her to it and put it past, just get anything

on it.” Her touch was just enough to send it rolling into the goal. The goal came at an opportune time for IU. The Hoosiers dominated possession the entire second half, out shooting DePaul 132, but IU could not find a way to get on the scoreboard until Ellis’ goal. It was the Hoosier defense that was the story for most of the game. After struggling throughout the Big Ten Tournament, the IU defense was almost perfect that Saturday. Senior goalie Shannon Flower recorded a school-record setting ninth shutout of the year while only needing to make two saves. “I think the defense made my job really easy tonight,” Flower said. “ I didn’t really have to do too much tonight,

which is great.” Flower made a crucial save in the 86th minute when a DePaul forward found space and had a chance to tie the game. Flower made a step to the left, got in position and made a diving save of a ball seemingly destined for the back post. “I don’t think your typical goalkeeper saves that,” Berbary said. “We ask our goalkeepers to make one big save a half, and that sure was a big one for us.” After the game, Berbary was already looking forward to IU’s game against North Carolina. “Absolutely thrilled, it’s amazing,” Berbary said. “We’re going to their place to play the reigning national champions. HALEY WARD | IDS “If you would have told me Members of the IU women’s soccer team pile onto freshman Veronica that last February when I was Ellis after she scored the game-winning goal against DePaul Nov. 16, hired, I would have told you 2013, at Bill Armstrong Stadium. you were nuts.”

To storm, or not to storm? That is the question for which people thought it was their responsibility to voice their opinion after IU upset No. 3 Wisconsin Jan. 14. Consider me one of those people. Should the storming of the court be chalked up as a cathartic release of joy? Or should IU remember its place in the college basketball pantheon and not subjugate itself to behavior fitting lesser, desperate teams? My answer: storm, baby, storm. I loved the court storming, and I was shocked at the vitriol in response on the Twittersphere. One of my favorites came from ESPN radio host Doug Gottlieb. He tweeted at 2:46 a.m. after the IU win, “IU rushed the floor versus Wisconsin ... seriously IU you got 5 banners up there, get a hold of yourselves” You’re not going to believe this, but I have some opinions. First, how can we expect 18-, 19-, 20- and 21-year-old students to make the snap decision of whether this would be considered ‘proper etiquette’? I remember when I was 21. Well, because I am 21. I can’t make a rational decision about what to eat for dinner. I cannot blame my peers for being shortsighted, since that is the only vision college students have. Secondly, a practice as chaotic as storming the court shouldn’t have such strict rules and regulations. I must have missed the press release on that. There are no rules on when to storm the court. That is the point. It is a practice of pure pandemonium. The argument my friend brought up was, “You’d never

While it didn’t happen in 2013, the program is closer than ever to turning the corner. And it was the work ethic of Hughes, Bolser and Heban that helped change that. When Hughes reflected on the game, he sounded like a proud father. He sounded like the senior leader he is. “The biggest thing that I wanted today was just the whole team playing as one, because that’s something that we really haven’t done the whole season,” Hughes said. “...Tonight we put it all together versus our rival, and I was really proud and happy to see that.” A couple years ago, no one

see a Duke, Kentucky or Kansas do that.” My response is it shouldn’t matter in the slightest what Duke does when it wins a basketball game. A program should not look to other programs to determine what is best. I guarantee none of the students were thinking, “Wait, wait, wait, guys. What would Lawrence, Kan., do?” And they shouldn’t. They are different programs with a different set of fan practices. The argument could be made it hurts the reputation of a basketball institution with such prestige as IU. I say the contrary. IU Coach Tom Crean admitted after the game the fans were instrumental in taking down Wisconsin. “I never take them for granted,” Crean said of the crowd after the game. The atmosphere Hoosier nation created added more prestige to the program than the so-called “faux pas” of running onto Branch McCracken Court and Snapchatting their buddies. Seriously, if you were watching that game on ESPN as a prospective college student, I’m sure the thought: “Wow, that Bloomington place sure looks fun,” would go through your mind. IU fans, you were extremely important in willing your team to victory. The players will get their quotes in the paper, have their picture plastered all over the city and become household names. So have your day. Celebrate. And don’t let people take away what separates college athletics from the professional ranks — pure, unbridled, irrational passion. Storm the court, order Mother Bears and have a picnic on the hardwood for all I care. You earned it. ehoopfer@indiana.edu

Etherington said despite the loss, the Hoosiers will play with passion and exuberance, wherever their next game might be. “Hopefully we get the opportunity to keep playing,” he said. After the game, Crean was asked how he would define IU’s season up to that point. He said he wouldn’t define his teams’ season just yet. “I wouldn’t, because I hope it’s gonna continue to keep going,” he said. on the team talked like that. Hughes has made the program better not just by his jaw-dropping catches, but by the way he has carried himself the entire season, including waiting for his chance at the Bucket. Hughes never had to ask for it. The team called for the Bucket to be given to him. He — and the entire senior class — had earned it. “I think everyone else, they know the adversity that I’ve faced and the issues I had to fight through and the good times and the bad times,” he said. “I think they all knew how much it meant to me personally just to end on a good note and finish where we’re finishing.”

IU men’s soccer defeats Michigan, advances to NCAA Tournament Late in the first-round of the Nov. 13 Big Ten Tournament game against Michigan, the IU men’s soccer team stared into the face of a situation that had burned them repeatedly in the 2013 season: overtime. The Hoosiers fell behind early in the game but equalized in the second half, sending the game into suddendeath overtime. Next goal wins. IU had faced the same situation six times in the regular season, with only a meek 1-1 draw with UC Irvine and five heartbreaking losses to show for their efforts. Junior midfielder Dylan Mares said the Hoosiers were ready for the challenge of another overtime period. “We just put what’s happened in the past and concentrated on the present,” Mares said. “I think our team was very motivated. We knew our team had been doing well.” A once-promising season hung in the balance, with both teams searching for the game-winning goal while remaining cautious of making a mistake that could end their tournament. The Hoosiers, determined to make a postseason run in spite of the program’s first-ever losing season, pressed forward. Six minutes into overtime, pandemonium struck the Hoosier bench. Freshman forward Tommy Thompson weaved through the defense and left the ball for

Mares in front of an open net. Playing in his first Big Ten Tournament since transferring from Louisville in the spring, Mares carried the hopes of a season on his foot. He flicked Thompson’s pass on goal, wheeling to celebrate before the ball came to rest in the back of the net. Mares’ goal gave IU a 2-1 victory against the Wolverines and kept the Hoosiers’ postseason dreams alive. “The ball got flicked on, and Tommy was able to start running at the guy, and he got one-on-one,” Mares said. “He did everything to get me the ball.” IU played the majority of the first half from a deficit, as Michigan struck early. The Wolverines jumped out to a 1-0 lead by way of senior defender Ezekiel Harris’ 11thminute goal.

Each of them started all 12 games this season. During their four seasons, the program went a combined

15-33 (.313 winning percentage). Twice they came within a victory of bowl eligibility, their freshmen and senior years, only to finish both seasons 5-7. Heban, the senior leader, feels responsible for the defense’s struggles this year. Despite not playing in January at any point in their careers, IU Coach Kevin Wilson

thinks the group of seniors laid a strong foundation, starting with setting the tone for this Purdue win. “In all my years coaching, this is probably as much fun and as much respect I’ve had with a group of players,” he said. “They’re going to be great Hoosiers.”
