EDITOR’S NOTE
PAGE 15
Fall reminds us even more that Bloomington is a special place. With the changing of leaves, alumni return to the place they called home for four years and current students celebrate the rich history of a campus that is one of the most beautiful in the nation. We’re not the first, and won’t be the last generation of students to recognize the qualities that make this place so memorable. That’s why we’ve decided to run the following unsigned editorial, originally published on Sept. 5, 1922, in the Indiana Daily Student. It was most likely written by 1944 Pulitzer Prize winner Ernie Pyle in his time as editor. Enjoy. Nearly everyone who has ever attended Indiana University will tell you there is no place in the world like Indiana. They sometimes attempt to explain that statement but they cannot. Strangely enough, in their attempt to explain, they fail to mention the assets of the school usually mentioned by its boosters. They have nothing to say about the remarkable professors whose fame seems so much greater in the outside world than it does to the students who work under them. They do not mention the buildings or equipment or the many advantages carefully compiled in the school catalog. They do not gather together and present facts which a logical speaker would use in convincing folk that this is a great school. Ex-students recognize the value of all these things, recognize their argumentative value. But when they ejaculate
that there is no place in all the world like Indiana, they are thinking about something else. They are thinking of spring days when the campus is bursting with fragrance, vivid with the color of blossoms and new leaves, and when the moon is bright—it is undeniable that spring is nowhere in the world as it is at Indiana. They are thinking about the autumn evenings when dusk has settled and the last cheers have died out over Jordan Field and another football game has become a memory, another football game which may or may not have been a victory but which was a courageous fight by Indiana men whom everyone in school knew and liked. They are thinking of “pep” meetings and mass meetings and pow-wows in which Indiana men sounded the ancient battle cry, where sheepish football captains tried to make speeches before a howling crowd of students and equally
wild old grads, and where the old songs gave at the same time a sudden impulse to tears and an electric thrill down the backbone. They are thinking about hundreds of wholesome, pleasant people, who were their friends. They are thinking something about Indiana which none of them could ever express in words. These persons who make such broad unqualified statements about Indiana say that they have since tried out living in many other places but that somehow the tang is missing. Other schools can contain nothing after such moments. Other schools seem to lack the facilities to produce those thrills which certainly can come within but four years of a lifetime. These are the feelings of those who have been here and have left. Perhaps it is foolish and sentimental but they will affirm it is the truth.
Established in 1908, IU’s Homecoming has a deep history. Take a look at some significant celebrations from the past.

‘Lights, camera, action’ 2012 theme brings new spin on tradition for Homecoming festivities BY MINA ASAYESH-BROWN minaasay@indiana.edu
There is more to IU Homecoming week than getting nearly naked. Though the Nearly Naked Mile, now in its fifth year, has become a popular tradition, the IU Student Alumni Association wants to remind everyone that homecoming festivities have plenty more to offer. This year brings an unexpected change, since the IU Alumni Association decided not to have the homecoming parade, opting to put on a free concert instead. The 2012 theme “Lights, Camera, Action!” ushers in three new events and four alumni from the entertainment industry. “We want to up the wow factor to

the events,” said Kara Brooner, IUSAA vice president of Homecoming. Brooner and her team of directors have been working since spring to put together this year’s lineup, organizing everything from the Nearly Naked Mile after-party to the number of trashcans needed on Seventh Street during the concert. By channeling the glamorous theme, IUSAA’s goal is to increase Homecoming awareness and maintain consistent interest in all events, not just the better-known ones, she said. “A lot of people think the Nearly Naked Mile is its own entity, but it’s kind of the kickoff to Homecoming week,” Brooner said. “We want to continue that spirit throughout the week.”
This initiative began with “Paint the Town Crimson” on Sept. 30, a new event in which participating student organizations went to 15 local businesses to paint windows and decorate the town. The IUSAA wants to involve more student organizations in homecoming in the future, hoping to raise spirit through collaboration. Victoria Culver, graduate adviser for the IUSAA, served as the director for the event. She encouraged residence halls and fraternity and sorority houses to decorate their windows as well. Following “Paint the Town,” the Nearly Naked Mile took place on Oct. 1. This fundraiser for United SEE EVENTS, PAGE 8

For the first time in 54 years, the Friday of Homecoming week will not be celebrated with Marching Hundred members performing on Kirkwood Avenue. “We’re taking a step back this year to re-evaluate what Homecoming looks like,” said Emili Sperling, IU Alumni Association alumni programs officer for recent graduate and student enrichment. The IUAA and IU Student Alumni Association decided to take a break from parade planning this year. Sperling said other schools have extravagant homecoming parades, and IU’s parades in the past few years have been “light” in comparison. “Because we’re expected to create such a spectacular experience, we wanted to step back and look at how to make the parade the best possible experience,” she said. In its place, the Oct. 5 festivities will include a free concert in Dunn Meadow. This event was organized by the IUAA and IUSAA in conjunction with Union Board. “This new approach to Friday night gives returning and Bloomington-based alumni, and their families, the perfect way to be a part of Homecoming as they soak in the campus atmosphere,” J. T. Forbes, executive director and CEO of the IUAA, said in a press release. “We’re looking forward to a great crowd.” Pop-rock band South Jordan, which has Bloomington roots, “This is Indiana” duo Brice Fox and Daniel Weber and local singer and songwriter Zach Majors will perform at 7 p.m. Oct. 5 Concert-goers can purchase food and drink from food trucks and local vendors. IUAA hopes to bring back the homecoming parade in the future with a little revamping, Sperling said. “We want to create something wonderful and memorable for everyone,” she said.

Hall said. “You feel like you’re doing something really good, and if we can keep people awake during the hour that we’re playing, we’re doing our job.” MOVING TO THE MUSIC Other than last year’s IUDM and the Oct. 5 performance, South Jordan rarely has the chance to play in Bloomington. The group relocated to Nashville, Tenn., in 2011 to collaborate with other songwriters and producers such as Nathan Chapman, a country music producer who has worked often with Taylor Swift, and songwriter Josh Kear, who wrote Lady Antebellum’s Grammy-winning hit “Need You Now.” Hall said the group has had a busy year touring with indie pop band He Is We and recently opening for the Parachute concert at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. “It was really cool for us because we’ve been crossing paths with them for a while, and to finally meet them and play a rockin’ show is sweet,” Hall said. South Jordan is currently gearing up for another opening performance for Andy Grammer next month. “It’s awesome to share the stage with amazing performers like that,” he said. “I’ve never seen him live before, so I’m excited to see that as well.” As far as new music goes, Hall said the band is currently working on releasing a slew of songs, including a music video titled “Love Like Suicide.” “We’re looking forward to the future and especially to our new video, which we will be pushing within the next month or two,” Hall said. “Our new music is a big departure from our old music, and we’re sort of rebranding our style. We hope to gain lots of new fans from this.”

IU ALUMNI ADDED TO CONCERT LINEUP FROM IDS REPORTS
YouTube sensation
Early last week, IU alumni Brice Fox and Daniel Weber were added to the lineup for the Oct. 5 concert. The duo, made famous for YouTube sensations “The IU Anthem,” “This is Indiana” and “iLL 5,” are scheduled perform at 6:45 p.m. as an opener for South Jordan. B97’s Zach Majors will also perform an opening act at the concert. Fox and Weber met behind the scenes during the fall 2009 Zeta Tau Alpha philanthropy event, Big Man on Campus. Following the event, they began making music together and performing at various campus events including GLOWfest in 2011. The pair relocated to Los Angeles earlier in 2012 to continue producing music.

Heater Bofia, another IUSAA volunteer, said she hoped younger students will notice the paintings. “I didn’t know anything about Homecoming when I was a freshman,” Bofia said. “This helps them learn about
Homecoming.” Marketing purposes and awareness generation aside, many participants said they liked seeing school spirit around Bloomington. “It has a small-town feel,” Way said.

BLOOMINGTON BEGINNINGS IU graduate Bobby Campbell, South Jordan’s keyboardist, said that when the group started out, dance marathons were popular venues that provided a way to spread its sound. “How we got started originally as a band was playing at a lot of the dance marathons around all the colleges in the Midwest, and it was just a great way to get in front of people and start making fans,” Campbell said. South Jordan played a set at last year’s IU Dance Marathon. Hall said performing at the event is always a positive experience. “It’s always such an awesome event to be a part of,”

The opportunity to perform with his band members in Bloomington is a big deal for South Jordan lead vocalist Michael Hall. “We’re super excited to come back here,” he said. “It’s weird when you come back to IU because you’re not really ‘in the loop,’ but it’s a great experience coming back because we haven’t had many opportunities to do so.” This pop group, originally from Bloomington, will play a free show at 7 p.m. Oct. 5 in Dunn Meadow as part of the week’s IU Homecoming events sponsored by the IU Student Alumni Association in conjunction with Union Board. Senior Kara Brooner, IUSAA vice president of Homecoming, said she is happy to showcase South Jordan. “I’m really excited to present the South Jordan concert as the finale of Homecoming Week 2012,” Brooner said. “I’m hoping we can start the tradition of a Homecoming concert similar to the Little 500 week concerts. I think this is going to appeal to a variety of people, and I think it’ll be a special event for students, alumni and the Bloomington community. We also want the concert to pump the IU community up for the Homecoming game on Saturday.”

Students painted local storefronts on Sept. 30 in an attempt to spread school spirit and raise awareness for an IU Student Alumni Association event during Homecoming week. The event, “Paint the Town Crimson,” involved more than $300 worth of painting supplies for 16 businesses on Kirkwood Avenue and downtown Bloomington. Participants advertised the Homecoming football game, IU vs. Michigan State, and other IUSAA Homecoming events scheduled during the week. IUSAA volunteers were aided by members of seven other student organizations, some of whom worked in their own logos and themes. Jennifer Lynch and Sam Hill, members of Collegiate 4-H, added the 4-H logo to a window at BuffaLouie’s on Indiana Avenue. “It’s free publicity,” Lynch said. “We know everyone is going to come here after the Nearly Naked Mile.” Members of Kappa Kappa Psi painted a movie camera and director’s clapboard outside of Campus Candy on Kirkwood Avenue. Victoria Culver, a graduate adviser at IUSAA and director of the event, said the event was meant to unite the Bloomington community with IU students for Homecoming week. “I’m pleased,” she said. “We’re going to reevaluate the events, but we plan to do this every year.” Culver worked with Bloomington to reach agreement with the local businesses. Cameron Hammel, an IUSAA volunteer who was painting the Indiana Shop, said they haven’t had much feedback from the businesses. “They haven’t actually said anything,” Hammel said. Some volunteers said they were hopeful the event

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Alumni return to speak at ‘Lights, Camera, Action’ career panel, revisit favorite local spots BY SARAH BOYUM sboyum@indiana.edu
Crisp fall weather, football and tailgating before the game are all part of the Hoosier Homecoming experience. The week leading up to the big game is packed with events, including the Nearly Naked Mile and concerts performed by local artists. To many returning alumni, however, the significance of Homecoming is returning to a place they once called home. IU alumni Dave Neustadter and Larra Overton returned to Bloomington to speak at the “Lights, Camera, Action” Alumni Career Panel on Oct. 4, an event highlighting four alumni that have careers in the entertainment industry. DAVE NEUSTADTER Neustadter is the vice president of production at New Line Cinema in Los Angeles. Neustadter graduated from IU in 2001 with a bachelor’s degree in theater and minors in Spanish and film studies. He began a graduate program but dropped out and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a screenwriting career. “I really didn’t know what I wanted to do, and Indiana had many classes to choose from,” Neustadter said. “When I got my liberal arts education, I learned a little bit about a lot,” This broad education helps Neustadter in his current career writing screenplays for movies. After he made the decision to leave graduate school, Neustadter was working one last shift at Scotty’s Brewhouse before moving out to Los Angeles. During the shift, he met and talked to a customer who had a son that worked as a screenwriter in the Los Angeles area. Neustadter was put in contact with the customer’s son, who worked at New Line Cinema, scored an internship and has been working there for the last nine years.

Upon returning to Bloomington for Homecoming festivities, Neustadter is looking forward to eating Scotty’s loaded waffle fries and visiting Nick’s English Hut on Kirkwood as well as “hopefully shaking Tom Crean’s hand,” he said. LARRA OVERTON Overton is a Big Ten Network correspondent and freelance reporter who was also a member of the panel. She is the web editor for the National Sports Journalism Center based out of the IU School of Journalism at IUPUI. The website keeps track of top trends in sports journalism for professionals. Overton is also an analyst for Fox Sports, reporter for the Fox 59 morning show and ingame host and emcee for the Indianapolis Pacers.
LARRA OVERTON | COURTESY PHOTO
“Having a background in sports really drove me to have a career in the sports network,” Overton said. “I combined my passion for journalism and sports.” A “born and raised Hoosier,” Overton attended New Albany High School in New Albany, Ind., and, upon graduating, considered many colleges based on track and journalism programs. “IU had a well-respected journalism program as well as a sports program,” she said. “I could get my feet wet in the field as well as exploring my potential in track.” Overton attended IU for her undergraduate and graduate education and ran track and cross country. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism. An injury during her junior
year resulted in Overton redshirting a season, allowing her to run a fifth year of track while earning a master’s degree in sports communications through the School of Public Health. “I was in no hurry to leave,” she said. Having only had time to return to Bloomington for work, Overton is looking forward to spending Homecoming weekend visiting her favorite haunts. A particular stretch of the outdoor track, the 100-meter backstretch out by the 200-meter mark, has fond memories for Overton, she said. Stone pillars stand along this stretch, and Overton would stand beside them before she started a workout or began a 1,500-meter race. “There were days that the leaves were falling, there were
days that snow was covering the ground around the pillars,” she said. “It is the most gorgeous view to me.” Overton vividly remembers when the basketball team beat Duke during a NCAA Sweet Sixteen game in 2002. She was a freshman that year and was watching the game at a teammate’s house with other members of her track team. When the game ended, Overton and her friends heard a thunderous noise outside. People were out on their front porches celebrating the win. Overton remembers people standing around Showalter Fountain, shoulder to shoulder, celebrating the Hoosier win together. “I was so proud to be a part of Indiana, a school that is so passionate not just about sports but about tradition,” she said.

IUSAA members drove around on golf carts handing out IU swag as usual, but they also set up spirit stations outside Ballantine Hall, the Arboretum and the NealMarshall Education Center. “We’re just hoping to get people excited for Homecoming and hoping to build

To make it more convenient for donors, the blood drive added a mobile unit outside Ballantine Hall in addition to its main location at the DeVault Alumni Center, offering multiple opportunities for students to literally bleed crimson.

things up with a concert presenting South Jordan, a band originally from Bloomington. Faced with the challenge of finding a suitable replacement for the Homecoming parade, Brooner and Mike Hammersley, director of the concert, aimed to make this event more of a homecoming festival. Along with the concert, IUSAA is having food trucks and vendors along Seventh Street during the show. Though IUAA says there might still be a parade in the future, Brooner is open to the idea of a Friday night concert next year, perhaps with a major artist. Hammersley acknowledged that South Jordan “isn’t glitzy” like the theme. “We’re bringing back more

traditional stuff because they’re from Bloomington,” he said. Homecoming week comes to a close with a familiar tradition, the IUAA-sponsored tailgate before the IU vs. Michigan State football game. While the tailgate and the Nearly Naked Mile anchor both ends of the week, Brooner and company hope students and alumni don’t forget what’s in between. Homecoming 2012 might recall some old favorites, but there are changes and fresh opportunities for the IU community to show its spirit. “Homecoming brings people together,” Hammersley said. “I think it’s a great thing for our campus.”

Then-sophomore safety Brandon Mosley prepares to spit into the Old Brass Spittoon after the Hoosiers' 46-21 victory against Michigan State in 2006 at Memorial Stadium. IU's win marked its first against the Spartans since 2001. IU looks for another win against Michigan State during the Oct. 6 Homecoming game.
Battle for the brass IU to face tough Michigan State team on Homecoming
BY AARON SIEGAL-EISMAN amsiegal@indiana.edu
The Hoosiers (2-2, 0-1) will have no easy test on Oct. 6 Homecoming against Michigan State (3-2, 0-1). They return home after being defeated by now-No. 24 ranked Northwestern, 44-29. The Spartans bring in a team that was just recently knocked off the top-25 rankings. Their two losses of the season came in the third week against then-No. 20 ranked Notre Dame and this past weekend in their first Big Ten matchup against then-No. 14 ranked Ohio State. One of the main reasons for both losses was the winning
team’s ability to keep junior running back Le’Veon Bell to under 80 rushing yards. Bell is currently ranked No. 6 in the nation on rushing, with an average of 131 yards per game and five rushing touchdowns. The Michigan State offense runs through Bell and his ability to make plays, as seen in the first three wins so far. He has rushed for 210 yards and 253 yards against then-No. 24 ranked Boise State and Eastern Michigan, respectively. If Bell has a good running day for the Spartans, then the Hoosiers will need to do the same with their four running backs and pass attack. The Big Ten Conference is
known for being one of the best defensive conferences in the nation. “They are very aggressive, they are big, they are strong, they are everything you would expect in a Big-Ten-level defense,” Kevin Johns, IU assistant offensive coordinator, said. The Spartans are ranked 12th in the nation on points allowed per game, with 12.8 on average. “They are a pretty solid team, but I feel like we can get after them pretty well,” sophomore wide receiver Cody Latimer said. Junior linebacker Max Bullough and junior safety Isaiah Lewis lead MSU with 38 and 32 tackles, respectively. Lewis, who played for Ben
“We just need to make plays. Also, play really fast out there,” he said. Overall, playing against one of the nation’s top defenses will be a test for the Hoosier offense, but the team has been preparing in practice for success on the field, Johns said. “They present a lot of challenges, but our kids are excited and ready for it. It will depend on our ability to execute and come through for us,” he said. Latimer is confident with the coaches’ game plan and hopes for their first Big Ten win at Memorial Stadium. “Our coaches are preparing us well, and we are looking forward to getting a win,” Latimer said.
Davis High School in Indianapolis, also adds an interception with a 40-yard return to his stats. Not just those two players on the defense, but all around the team presents a challenge for the Hoosier offense. When Johns was asked if one of the MSU defensive areas can be exploited, he responded by saying, “I don’t know. They are good all over the place. We are going to try and do the best we can, but I don’t know if there is one area that we need to go after.” Wide receivers junior Kofi Hughes and Latimer both made major catches for the team in the last game, and Latimer said they need to do the same again this Saturday.
HISTORY OF THE OLD BRASS SPITTOON In the past the Hoosiers and Spartans have faced off 54 times. History favors the Spartans, who have won 41 games against the Hoosiers. The last time IU prevailed against Michigan State was in 2006. See the winning spread from each matchup below. 31 26

Then-wide receiver Terrance Turner catches his breath after scoring a touchdown at the 2010 Homecoming football game at Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers beat Arkansas State, 36-34.
HOMECOMING MATCHUPS OF IU’S PAST 4 SEASONS 2008 Hoosiers force late fumble to secure homecoming win The IU defense recovered three fumbles and two interceptions en route to a 21-19 victory against Northwestern in Memorial Stadium, snapping a fivegame losing streak. After both teams traded scores during the first half, the Hoosiers used a trick play as senior running back Marcus Thigpen handed off to then-sophomore wide receiver Mitchell Evans, who threw a touchdown to then-freshman wide receiver Tandon Doss. Later during the half, with fewer than two minutes left and Northwestern with the ball, IU forced two fumbles from quarterback Mike Kafka, recovering the second and sealing the victory. “It was a great team win for us. I thought the defense hung in there all day, and they got some turnovers, and that was something we talked so much about. When we were struggling, we were turning it over and not creating any turnovers, and that was the difference in the game today was the turnovers. The defense did a great job in forcing fumbles and getting interceptions. The offense didn’t turn it over, and that was huge,” former IU Coach Bill Lynch said. 2009 Indiana ends losing streak in win against illinois Junior quarterback Ben Chappell set two career
highs with 333 passing yards and three touchdowns, and IU defeated Illinois 27-14 to end the Hoosiers’ threegame losing streak, as well as their five-game losing streak in the Big Ten. Chappell capitalized on two fumbles from Illinois’ Isiah “Juice” Williams into second-half touchdowns to help lead the Hoosiers to the Homecoming victory. “Well, that was obviously a great win for our football team and one that we needed. I was really proud of how they bounced back from a tough couple of weeks. Those of you that have been around know that we challenged them pretty good on Monday, and they really responded, and I think that’s a real credit to the leadership of the kids and the entire football team,” Lynch said. 2010 Hoosiers hold off Arkansas State to stop losing streak As the IU football team and Arkansas State traded scores in Memorial Stadium, the Hoosiers appeared to be near their third loss in a row, which would allow the Red Wolves to secure their second-ever win against a BCS school. But with 47 seconds left, Arkansas State attempted an onside kick that trickled out of bounds, allowing the Hoosiers to run out the clock and ensure a 36-34 victory. “It was a good win for our football team. I say that, and I wish it didn’t get quite as crazy at the end, but we
knew going into this game that this was a good football team that we were playing,” Lynch said. 2011 7 freshmen on defense can’t stop wildcat attack IU Coach Kevin Wilson, in hopes of jumpstarting his team, started seven freshmen on defense, the most of any Football Bowl Subdivision team at that point in the 2011 season. Yet even they couldn’t stop the Northwestern offense, which scored nearly 60 points in a 59-38 victory against the Hoosiers in Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers began the game with a rushing touchdown from thenfreshman quarterback Tre Roberson, but the Wildcats scored 24-straight points after just more than 15 minutes of gametime, and Indiana wasn’t able to mount a comeback from there. “There might be some matchups, but at the same time, you’ve got to challenge guys. We could play soft and vanilla, bend but not break. I think sometimes we actually play it a little too base and a little too standup where they get targets on us. I would like to see us be a lot more multiple than we are because I think with our skill set, if we kind of line up and people get a beat on us, it’s a little easier to pick apart, but with young guys, the more you do the more mistakes you have,” IU Coach Kevin Wilson said.

Q&A
2012 HOMECOMING COURT NOMINEES
Wyatt Jackson a freshman, I’ve watched this now, like the whole Homecoming week for three years, so getting to be a part of it was something really special. I know for me, when I first arrived at IU, I was kind of a shy and not very outgoing kind of guy. This just kind of shows that I grew as a person. IU is the testament to that.
IDS What made you want to apply for Homecoming Court? JACKSON I guess since I was
the interviews and judges. “This year we had two members from the Kelley School of Business, a member from IU Athletics, [football] Coach [Kevin] Wilson’s wife and someone from the IU Alumni Association,” Slawson said. “It’s a really good mixture of all the organizations that are really a part of
and I just fell in love with the campus. I didn’t really believe that stuff about falling in love with campuses, but it happened for me.
IDS Why did you decide to come to IU? THOMAS It really was a tight race between Butler and IU. I drove down here one more time, alone, and it was a really pretty autumn day
IDS What made you want to apply for Homecoming Court? THOMAS I actually didn’t know there was court in college, but a friend told me about it and I thought it would be kind of neat to be a part of Homecoming my senior year, to get to see different parts of the school come together. A lot of times, being in a fraternity, you don’t see some of those events. There’s so much going on that week, and
a great role model for me. He’s always pushing me to do the best I can in school and be social and take leadership positions, so he’s kind of always had my back and is someone I look up to. Hopefully I can end up being somewhere near his caliber.
Homecoming.” The SAB helps get the court ready for Friday evening, but other than that, members of the court are left on their own. This year’s court consists of five senior men and five senior females that have been selected for leadership qualities they have displayed in the community.
George Thomas, Jr. you’re not really part of the official IU sanctions.
IDS What do you think makes you a contestant? What do you do that makes you stand out? JACKSON I mean, there are a lot of great leaders on
campus, so finding a group of men and a group of women on campus who stand out is a hard thing to do. I think, you know, a lot of it comes down to the dedication you offer. Not only to the organizations you work for, but it comes down to what you give back to the community. So leaving behind something that’s gonna help other generations, like my work at 21st Century Housing Project and kind of working on re-structuring the dorms or creating new programs SEE JACKSON, PAGE 13

Leadership, scholarship, personality and poise. These are only a few of the characteristics five judges will look for in each Homecoming Court nominee before they select the 2012 King and Queen. Neely Slawson, vice president of the IU Student Athletic Board, said the SAB was involved in marketing the event as well as organizing

IDS Name something or someone in your life that has greatly influenced you. RIZKALLA I would probably say my dad. I really look up to him, he’s always been
IDS Do you have any specific plans after graduation? THOMAS Yeah, my major is broadcast journalism and my concentration is business, so I’m trying to look at the business side of media. I worked for a media company this past summer in New York. They kind of combined a commentary and the business side of things in terms of the way media is becoming. Like a one-stop shop, Fox News would have everything — SEE THOMAS, PAGE 13
IDS What would you say your biggest goal in life is? RIZKALLA I guess, from a career standpoint, I’m planning on going into medicine, so it’s kind of a long and tedious route. I’m kind of excited about it, but at the same time nervous for what I’m about to get myself into. So, from a goal standpoint, just completing
all that and ending where I would want to be. I’d be pretty happy about that. IDS What is your favorite memory from IU? RIZKALLA I didn’t get season tickets last year for basketball, but when Watford, the Wat shot, when he hit it, I was in my fraternity. I was in a room with like 30 people, and we were all standing on our chairs when he went to shoot it, and right when he shot it we all went crazy. But something happened and the power went out, like someone pulled the plug or something. All of a sudden SEE RIZKALLA, PAGE 13
Adam Friedman IDS Looking back, did you ever see yourself as being part of Homecoming Court? FRIEDMAN Sure. I used to be very spirited in high school. I was actually the Spirit King, so I’ve always been into school spirit and things of that nature. I guess I could see this as the natural progression. I was junior Spirit King, but now I’m in the Big Ten Spirit King kind of, in a sense. D1 spirit.
IDS How would you describe your IU experience? FRIEDMAN I would say I’ve just been trying to lead the quintessential Hoosier experience, whether it’s going to Big Ten football or basketball. I decided to become involved with a fraternity, which a lot of people view as kind of a pretty fun part of college. As I’ve reached the end of SEE FRIEDMAN, PAGE 13

IDS What do you think makes you a contestant? What makes you stand out? PORT I think it’s my love for the University. Wherever I go, I’m a constant ambassador. I’m from West Lafayette, so I’m always trying to convince people to come to IU. Ninetyfive percent of the people go to Purdue, but I enjoy it. IDS What would being crowned Homecoming King mean to you?
Megan Suchoff PORT It would mean a lot, but it’s not just for myself. It’s for all the people who have helped me get to where I am. There’s been a lot of support through the University, advisers, people in the organizations I take part of. It would mean a lot to them as well as me. IDS Outside of jobs and organizations, what is your favorite hobby? PORT Playing basketball. Me and my roommates go to HPER all the time. We play as long as we can until we get worn out.
IDS What made you decide to apply for Homecoming Court? SUCHOFF Well, originally one of my roommates
Amanda Malkowski was a group effort to do research about what students want out of the University. There were student leaders from all over campus involved.
IDS What are some of the things you’re involved with on campus? MALKOWSKI I was a Union Board director on the 2011 board. I was the public relations and marketing director for a year. Before that I was an assistant director for the Canvas committee on Union Board. I’ve interned at WTIU-WFIU here in Bloomington for two semesters. I volunteered at The Pourhouse Cafe and Hoosier Hills Food Bank. I was on the VOICE Report, which
IDS What made you decide to apply for Homecoming Court? MALKOWSKI A very good friend of mine won last year, actually. She was a Union Board alumni as well. Caroline (Shurig) was the Live from Bloomington director who did a lot of awesome stuff, and I really admire her. She’s in law school now in California and I thought, ‘You know, she was a good candidate, and she’s someone I admire a lot. It would be good if I could try to be like her in that way.’ IDS What made you decide to come to IU? MALKOWSKI The journalism school is what made me come. It’s a great school. I
2012 HOMECOMING GUIDE
loved that the program was small. IU has 40,000 kids, but the journalism program has like 800 or something. It’s a lot smaller, and the honors college is very small as well. I got to have a little bit more of a small class size at a giant university. I think that Bloomington is truly like a quintessential college town. You really get a true college experience that I don’t think you could have at a lot of other schools in the country. IDS What do you think will be running through your mind Friday before they announce the King and Queen? MALKOWSKI Oh, quite honestly I’m not too concerned about who wins. I think that all 10 people are people who have given a lot to the University, and I think that’s really what it’s all about. I think it’s kids that really
came to me, showing me the application on the computer, and she’s like, ‘You need to apply for this.’ I read into it and saw there was leadership, poise, scholarship and other characteristics I thought I really did exhibit. And for me, being Homecoming Queen is more about being a role model for other people at IU. I have had a lot of different experiences that made me the person who I am today, and so I really think that that role model position is special.
IDS Who or what would you say has been the greatest influence in your time here at IU? SUCHOFF One of my best friends — she’s a year older. She was just this amazing person. She was really a go-getter, very driven and very involved. She was one of the greatest people to be around, so funny. I really look up to her and she’s inspired me to do so much more. IDS Where do you see yourself in 20 years? SEE SUCHOFF, PAGE 13
Meredith Torch TORCH Yes, definitely. I’ve been well prepared by Kelley, and I’ve been interning summers, so I’m ready to graduate, go to the real world.
IDS What is your dream job? TORCH I’m not sure if I have a specific dream job, but definitely something combining technology and creativity. IDS Do you feel prepared for life outside of college?
IDS What do you feel is the most valuable experience you have gained from your time here at IU? TORCH Gosh, it’s hard to pick. It’s probably a toss-up. Being in my sorority, Alpha Delta Pi, has been a very meaningful experience here. It’s been a great leadership opportunity, philanthropy and has introduced me to a lot of really neat people whom I wouldn’t have met otherwise. Also, I would say being involved in IUSF has
been really fun. I’ve been able to help put on the Little 500. Not many people can say that. IDS If you could change anything about your time here at IU, what would it be and why? TORCH Honestly, I can’t think of anything I would change. If I changed something I wouldn’t be who I am today. I’m happy with all the experiences I’ve had here, good and bad.

I was just so focused on my classes that I wasn’t as involved, like I didn’t have as much fun with my friends and stuff. I think I would have rather done that a little bit more freshman year at the beginning of college. IDS What would you say your ultimate goal in life is?
COOK I want to be a genetic counselor. They diagnose and treat medical disorders and work with fertility treatment, things like that. I guess my ultimate goal would be to be able to help people have healthy children and try to eradicate as many genetic diseases as we could. I guess it’s kind of a career and personal goal. IDS Is there something that not many people know about you? COOK I think that maybe some things people don’t really know about me is I like to have fun. I’m really kind of goofy and bubbly, but actually have pretty conservative morals. I kind of picture myself as a small-town girl.

Mary Kate Doherty IDS What is one goal you hope to accomplish by the time you’re 40? DOHERTY I am hoping to get into recruiting, so I’m really hoping by the time I’m 40 that I will have a really strong network and client base and that I’ll be based near my family in Chicago. I would love, professionally, to be in that spot. IDS If you looked at two pictures of yourself, one from your first year here and one from yesterday, what changes would you see? DOHERTY I guess I would say I’ve gotten a lot more comfortable, both here and with myself. My freshman year I was kind of on the fringe. I didn’t necessarily get involved in a ton of stuff heavily and now like, you name it, we’ll get there. I love being involved. I love the things that I’m doing. I’m just a lot more established now.
IDS Who or what has been the biggest influence in your life? DOHERTY Well, you’ve got my parents, my mom and my dad. My dad tells me to take every chance I get. My mom is like the voice of reason. She says take every chance, but make sure that you’re being realistic about your goals and what you hope to get out of them. My dad’s the “jump in and don’t look.� My mom is the “let’s think about this for a second.� They’ve been really solid balances in my life in terms of what I’ve done in college and what I hope to
do. Another huge influence in my life has been Sarah Booher, the director of the Office of Scholarships. She has just really shaped me professionally into someone that can do things and can be professional about it. She has just helped guide me on a path of what I want to do in my life, and I can’t thank her enough for all her help. IDS Where is your favorite place to hang out on campus? DOHERTY Soma Coffeehouse, hands down. You go, you buy a Top O’ the Morning and you sit there. You drink it, you take in the people because the range of people that come in and out of there, it just cracks me up. You can take a good book because it’s always cozy. I’m ashamed to admit that one day I spent five hours there writing a paper and spent about $20 on coffee.
 FRIEDMAN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 my experience, I’ve realized that it’s about two things, at least for me. One is looking forward. I’ve met a lot of alumni from IU, and it’s really exciting to see successful people from IU out in the real world. Also, through being an IU tour guide, I’ve met a lot of potential Hoosiers and, trying to pass the torch on, show them how coming to IU will be the best four years of their life.
 MALKOWSKI CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 wanted to make the school a better place and got the most out of their experience, and I admire all of them, so I’m not too concerned about who wins or who loses. I’m really flattered just because I think that IU has given me a lot, and this is just a little bit of recognition that I’ve made even a slight difference. And that really means a lot to me.
Âť TORCH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12
Âť THOMAS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 internet, radio and TV, all that kind of stuff, all kind of in one. But definitely a business focus, and if not, I want to get my MBA and come back to IU.
Âť JACKSON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 within them. IDS What would being crowned Homecoming King mean to you personally? JACKSON Personally it
 RIZKALLA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 we were just speechless. We didn’t know if he’d hit it on time or if it counted so we were all running around our fraternity trying to find a TV
IDS Could you tell me a little bit about your favorite spot on campus? THOMAS There’s a lot of favorite spots. It would probably be when you first drive in on Kirkwood, when you see the Sample Gates.
I’d also probably say, in that older area of campus, where the Herman B Wells statue is. The statue is so lifelike, it’s almost as if he’s really there. You can really feel the history in that spot. It’s a great welcome to campus.
would, you know, mark a lot of growth for me. When I first came here I just kind of sat in my room. IU was a really scary place. I graduated with 150 students, so stepping out into 40,000 students was outrageous. Originally I wanted to go to a really
small school, the kind where you could learn everybody’s name, but my parents pushed me to apply to IU. I decided I’d give it a semester and realized you can make a large campus small. Its’ definitely what I’ve tried to do.
to catch up on exactly what we’d missed. Once we found out he’d made it, we all ran to Kirkwood. It didn’t matter how cold it was or what we were doing. We sprinted to Kirkwood and watched
the madness unfold. It was awesome. I wish I could’ve gone to the game, but I couldn’t have pictured a better way to watch it otherwise.
a superpower, but I think they are, and I really like Harry Potter. I think it would be cool to cast a spell or transform something. So wizard skills, definitely.
IDS What advice would you give incoming Hoosiers? FRIEDMAN I think, far and away, getting involved. The number one concern I hear on the tour is it’s a 40,000 person school, how’s my student gonna fit in? The dorm floor is the first way to break it down. But through getting involved in activities you definitely break it down into a smaller unit. You meet people you wouldn’t organically meet through your classes or the dorm.
 SUCHOFF CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 SUCHOFF I see myself reaching towards that executive position in a company because I do really want to do great things. IDS How does that affect the decisions you make now? SUCHOFF Well I’m currently a finance and international business major. I really enjoy finance so I’m looking for a job within the finance area of a company and hopefully that will allow me to gain a lot of experiences. Gaining all that experience in different departments will allow me to get a better understanding of the company and that industry as a whole and then,
IDS What’s your favorite thing to do on campus? FRIEDMAN Well I love going to the concerts. One of my favorite memories was the Lil Wayne concert. Originally I didn’t have tickets, but my friend and I scalped tickets at the last minute and actually, for $20, got like an $80 seat, so that was pretty great. I’ve been to at least one or two Little 500 concerts every year amongst others. Looking forward to going to some more good concerts this year.
hopefully, I’ll eventually work up to that executive position. IDS What is your favorite memory from your time at IU? SUCHOFF I would say my trip to Santiago, Chile. I went with the Emerging Economies program at the Kelley School of Business and it was just a great experience. I was able to see companies who were entrepreneurial and large, multi-national companies and how they operate on an international basis, which is important going forward in any career because there are opportunities for travel, opportunities to expand the markets and stuff. From a learning perspective, that was my favorite memory.

Homecoming establishes history through the years PHOTOS COURTESY OF IU ARCHIVES

IU LOGO CIRCA 1908
In 1909, Gala Day was moved to the same weekend as the IU-Purdue football game. Alumni were encouraged to attend the game between the budding rivals, and in 1910, the word Homecoming became the official title of the event.
Homecoming originated in 1908, with an event in June called Gala Week, according to the IU Alumni Association’s website. Even though there was no football game, it was the first time an event had been planned for alumni to return to campus. The event was focused on the dedication of three buildings and was celebrated with a circus on Jordan Field, the football stadium at the time.
The first Homecoming parade took place in 1958. The original parade route ran from the train station into town to greet returning alumni.

1969 In 1969, the IU Homecoming Queen contest was cancelled for the first time since 1930, according to the Indiana Alumni Magazine. That same year, 14 AfricanAmerican football players staged a boycott for alleged discriminatory practices by the coaches.
This year marks the first time since the inaugural parade in 1958 that the school will go without a Homecoming parade. 1973 HOMECOMING BISON MASCOT
