Parade to bring IU generations together

By Helen Rummel hrummel@iu.edu

Homecoming Weekend begins on Oct. 11 this year.

The parade will kick off the weekend festivities at 6 p.m.

Oct. 11 before the home football game against Rutgers at 12 p.m. Oct. 12.

The Marching Hundred, cheerleaders and participating organizations

will commence from the 17th Street and Woodlawn Avenue intersection and travel along Woodlawn until the parade concludes in front of the Indiana Memorial Union.

The alumni association accepts some local groups to participate in the Homecoming parade under certain categories. The types of parade participants are

separated into four categories: floats, decorated cars and walking or musical groups.

The top three student organizations will be awarded a prize based on several factors: cars and floats will be judged on theme, creativity and construction, then musical and walking organizations will be judged on attire and choreography.

The Marching Hundred has been preparing for the event by testing different drum cadences and working on high-step choreography, according to freshman and Marching Hundred trumpet player Parker Studer.

One of the many organizations participating in the parade is the Indiana Canine Assistant Network at

Daily Specials

IU (ICAN). Club member and sophomore, Miranda Hoffer plans to attend in support and finds the tradition to be helpful in publicizing club opportunities.

“It connects a lot of different parts of the campus and gets the word out about whatever club or program you have,” Hoffer said.

She also noted the

atmosphere that the parade can add to the environment of Homecoming weekend.

“I think it’s a really cool way to strengthen the Bloomington community because a lot of alumni are coming in and people from all over are coming to the football game and they will probably all see the parade,” Hoffer said.

@EVILBYTHENEEDLE

And then, as if from nowhere, up and down the river there began the plaintive shrieks of evening I knew so well, rising slowly from a soft cry to a muffled scream — a primeval Krieeee. . . ..Krieeee, echoing thru the woods, eerily impossible to locate. It was a cry so mournful it seemed to say "Why?. . . ..Why?" — the cry of a babe lost in the chasms of time, the reincarnation of a longing so deep that it could find no name for its ancient grief.

IU is not on good side of recent Homecoming tradition

SAM HOUSE | IDS

Sophomore defensive back Marcelino Ball attempts to tackle senior Iowa wide reciever Nick Easley during the homecoming game Oct. 13 at Memorial Stadium. IU players wore the No. 44 on their helmets in memory of former IU football player George Taliaferro, who died Oct. 8 at the age of 91.

By William Coleman wicolema@iu.edu | @WColeman08

IU football has its fair share of Homecoming wins, but in recent history the Hoosiers have struggled to win on that random weekend in October.

In eight consecutive homecoming weekends since 2011, seven different Big Ten teams have entered Bloomington and defeated IU.

The Hoosiers’ most recent homecoming win came Oct. 16, 2010. IU erased a halftime deficit and defeated Arkansas State University 36-34 to bounce back from consecutive losses to Michigan and Ohio State.

IU won its last homecoming game against a Big Ten opponent Oct. 17, 2009 when it edged out Illinois 27-14.

Former IU head coach Bill Lynch lead the Hoosiers to

three homecoming wins in four seasons from 2007 to 2010, but since his departure they have failed to do it again.

Not only is this year’s game an opportunity for the program to give a homecoming crowd a win for the first time in almost a decade, it’s also a chance for IU to get a much-needed win following a loss.

A blowout at the hands of Ohio State and a nail-biting

loss to Michigan State on the road dropped IU’s record to 0-2 in Big Ten play. The losses overshadow the progress the Hoosiers have made since last season, but they match up nicely with their third Big Ten opponent as they look to get that first conference win.

IU and Rutgers had not played before 2014 but have played every year since. The Scarlet Knights won the first two meetings, including a

55-52 win over the Hoosiers — one of IU’s recent homecoming losses. The Scarlet Knights, however, have lost three straight games to the Hoosiers.

Rutgers won its first game of the season but has lost each game since, two of which were shutouts on the road. The Hoosiers have good odds to extend their win streak over the Scarlet Knights and pick up their first

homecoming win since 2010, but a change in Rutgers’ personnel could cause problems.

“You have to look at it with a different lens now, with a new interim head coach and a new person calling the plays,” IU head coach Tom Allen said. “I don’t know if I’ve seen it where the coordinator is replaced in these situations. Usually, it’s just the head coach. It definitely creates some unknowns.”

From Homecoming king and queen to Homecoming royalty

By Lyndsay Valadez lvaladez@iu.edu | @lynds_val

For the first time at IU, there will not be a king or queen of the Homecoming court.

Changing the labels of Homecoming court from king and queen to royalty has been in senior McKenzie Mauer’s mind for more than a year.

Mauer is chair of the Homecoming steering committee for the IU Student Alumni Association. She and the rest of the association officially made the decision to change the court’s name last spring. It is being implemented for this year’s court.

The decision was based on feedback the association received from previous Homecoming court members, who wanted a more inclusive court label, which is now non binary.

“It’s entirely a student-led initiative because of the feedback that we’ve gathered from prior Homecoming court members,” Mauer said.

She said the association felt it was the right time to implement the change as they have to evolve with what students want since they are a student association. She said she hopes students realize the committee is listening to them.

“We heard them loud and clear,” Mauer said.

To Mauer, this change is part of IU’s ever-changing landscape. For senior and president of the Student Alumni Association, Kirsten Stenger, the change shows even though IU is an institution built on a lot of history, it is also an institution for students.

“The change is really all about inclusivity,” Stenger said.

Purdue recently decided to make this change, too.

Although the association had been considering it before Purdue announced its change, Mauer said it was nice to have people to talk to about instituting the change.

She said the process of

nomination and selection of the court is still the same. Students still have to be passionate and involved at IU, Mauer said. The only change is that it is more inclusive.

“It’s still two students who are most qualified from the court to become our Homecoming royalty,” Mauer said.

Cream and crimson and Hoosier spirit, but make it fashion

By Ally Melnik amelnik@iu.edu

It’s Homecoming at IU, and you know what that means: time to bust out all the cream and crimson you own like your life depends on it.

If there’s any time to get into the Hoosier spirit, Homecoming is that time.

But for those of you who may be lacking in the spiritwear department, here’s how to stock up on a budget or rock what you already own.

For starters, if you’re a typical broke college student, your saving grace for purchasing new spirit wear will be Goodwill. It’s at Goodwill where the hipsters flock to find old shirts that say things like “IU Equestrian Team” or old sweater vests depicting our basketball team actually winning a game, and all for under $10.

If you’re looking for something a little more mainstream but not absolutely bank-busting, take a visit to Tracks on Kirkwood Avenue. They have a good selection of IU and Bloomington T-shirts that aren’t just a white Gildan tee with “Indiana University” printed across in red block letters. This is also perfect for those who want to get into the spirit but want to be a little more subtle about it, since a lot of their shirts come in colors outside of cream, crimson and gray.

If you plan on using your parents’ credit card to make your spiritwear purchase but don’t want to sport logos such as Nike or Adidas, a few doors down from Tracks is Greetings, the next best place to go — this is where the iconic “Hoosier Daddy?” tee, as well as candy-striped overalls, can be found. While their products may be a tad overpriced, the softness of their T-shirts will comfort you in the fact that you just spent $20 on it.

Each IU store also offers accessories such as face tat-

toos, scrunchies and socks that can make an outfit go from good to so great the statue of Herman B Wells will want to get up and shake your hand.

But for those of you who maybe don’t want to go and buy a whole new outfit, there are ways to use what you already own to get into the Homecoming spirit.

Ladies, if you own them, slap on a pair of white shorts or pants with a red shirt to color block your Hoosier spirit. If that isn’t available, a white-and-red shirt with some blue jeans or skirt is always a viable option.

Guys, the same structure can apply to you. Break out your salmon colored khakis — I know you own a pair — and pair that with a white shirt. As long as you pair the

colors red, white, gray and black together, people will assume you’re invested in the Hoosier culture.

And if none of that works, dig down to the depths of your drawer and wear that free shirt you got from Recreational Sports during freshman orientation. It’ll give off the appearance that you love IU and exercising.

As you can see, there are a wide variety of ways to dress like a Hoosier, so don’t be afraid to go all out for Homecoming weekend with your candy-stripes, to tone it down with your color-blocking or to dust off the cobwebs from a free shirt that doesn’t even apply to you anymore.

Any spiritwear is good spiritwear when it’s for the glory of old IU.

And in my final year I decided I wanted to do something where I could lead students and be a part of bettering the environment at IU.

tivity at IU? I love being a student ambassador. It is very rewarding giving tours to prospective students. It’s magical seeing campus through their eyes.

What is your favorite IU memory? It was probably when I was in Washington, D.C. as a part of the Washington Leadership Program.

At the end of the experience, all of the IU students and alumni came together and they shared their experiences of the program with us and how they’re furthering their careers in D.C. It was amazing to see the stretch of this school, where it all comes from, how we all have connected over this experience and how we can all go forward with IU on our backs.

Molly Miner Senior from Fishers, Indiana, majoring in speech and hearing sciences and Spanish

Meet the 2019 homecoming court Gabrielle Cantor Senior from Denver majoring in intelligence systems engineering Why did you apply for Homecoming Court? I applied to be on Homecoming Court to show off what being a Hoosier means to me and to have the chance to give back to the IU community.

What is your most rewarding activity at IU? I am a part of SICE student ambassadors. We help recruit prospective students,and I work with high school students and parents to see if IU is right for them. It’s great to give back and help guide them through the journey of seeing colleges and then to see them enroll at IU. I’m also a third-year RA and having some of them on my floor, it’s so cool to see them develop as students.

Haley Sample Senior from Jasper, Indiana, majoring in marketing What is your favorite IU memory? I would say it was the spring concert for the Singing Hoosiers my freshman year. My dad was in the group when he was at IU

and at the spring concert all the alumni are invited back on stage, so just to be able to share the stage and do something I'm passionate about with my dad and also my new friends at the same time was a unique and awesome experience.

What is your most rewarding activity at IU? When I was a freshman I founded the Royal Encounters club. The members dress up as characters, and we host monthly events at the children’s hospital.

We started with 20 people and now we have over 200 people applying, and we actually have to turn some people away. It’s really cool though to see that it started as this small thing and it’s grown so much. It’s been very rewarding just to see the kids' smiles.

Alexandra Richardson Senior from Indianapolis majoring in environmental management Why did you apply for Homecoming Court? I wanted to be a student leader in the community, and through my different experiences, I haven't really been able to be a leader in an organization.

Susan Szymanski Senior from Crown Point, Indiana, majoring in mathematics Why did you apply for Homecoming Court? I was inspired by previous members of the court, like my older sister. I’ve always admired the ways that the court gives back to IU. What is your most rewarding ac-

Why did you apply for Homecoming Court? I am involved in a lot of organizations on campus, and I applied to Homecoming court because I wanted to be involved in the spirit and traditions of IU in my last year. I have grown to love IU so much.

What is your favorite IU memory? Well it was actually before I was a student here, but my senior year of high school, when I got accepted to IU, my dad took my two triplet siblings and I down to IU, and we saw the IU/Wisconsin game. We won by a buzzer-beater moment and just to see that was crazy.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 Danielle Pacholski Senior from Libertyville, Illinois, majoring in speech and hearing sciences What is your favorite IU memory? I’m gonna have to say the dance marathon. I’ve been involved with it since I was a freshman, and each year just gets better and better. I’m on the morale committee and so I make the line dance and so one of my favorite memories was last year, being up on stage with everyone during the line dance and then the total reveal when you realize this year of hard work has come to something incredible and amazing. It’s a feeling I'll never have again, well hopefully this one.

What is your most rewarding activity at IU? One of the most rewarding ones is that I am an It’s On Us: Alcohol and Consent facilitator, and I've only done it for a few months, and it’s really hard because most of my leadership positions are with people who want to be there and this is the first one I've done where people don’t really want to be there, but it’s definitely the most rewarding because it’s an important topic that needs to be talked about, and there are students that do care about it and seeing it click with them and understand that safety is the most important thing is the most rewarding thing I’ve done here.

Nathan Sands Senior from Ada, Michigan, triple majoring in marketing, international business, digital and social media business applications systems Why did you apply for Homecoming Court? I wanted to get involved some more. Throughout my time at IU I’ve always thought it was important to get out there and help make an impact at IU. Now I’m taking my final lap here, and I feel like I have been able to do that through being involved in IUDM and being chapter president of my fraternity. The key word is impact because just to know that you have made a difference is the best thing.

What is your favorite IU memory? That’s really hard.

I would say, not to be cliche, but it’s the dance marathon.

I would say it’s the most rewarding thing I’ve done in my life so far, and my favorite IU memory is just standing there with all my friends and seeing the total lifted, when we hit four million for the first time a few years ago, and seeing that was just insane.

IDS FILE PHOTO BY MATT BEGALA | IDS

From left, homecoming court sophomore Andres Ayala and seniors Maggie Hopkins, Olivia Malone and Angela Perez look at the crowd during the Homecoming parade Oct. 12, 2018, on Woodlawn Avenue.

Neha Srinivasan Senior from Louisville, Kentucky, majoring in international studies and Spanish What is your favorite IU memory? It would probably be the Raas Royalty competition that happens every year at the IU Auditorium. It’s an Indian dance competition that IU hosts.

I’m the captain of an Indian dance team here on campus, and we don’t compete in the competition, but we do perform as an exhibition act. And it’s always a blast having our friends and family cheer us on and watching other university teams hosted at our campus.

What is your most rewarding activity at IU? The most rewarding would also probably be my dance team. We put a lot of hours in creating a community around campus that's based on our culture and pushing each individual to being the best they can be. It’s adding something to the narrative to Indiana University that hasn’t been around for that long but is becoming very important.

Noah Scibbe Senior from Crown Point,

Indiana, secondary social studies education Why did you apply for Homecoming Court? I applied for Homecoming court because everyone who applies and all 12 of us who were picked are all from different backgrounds and different IU experiences, and I really wanted to apply and show people another really good IU experience that is, in my opinion, an ideal one.

What is your favorite IU memory? My sophomore year I got to be a part of the Martin Luther King civil rights immersion trip. We got to go to D.C. and meet with a lot of people and talk about civil rights. I remember we spoke to a D.C. representative of the Black Lives Matter movement and to hear what they’re going through, their cause, and how someone from a position of privilege, like white straight men, can be an ally.

I was able to take all this back to the students I RA’d at the time, and I’ll get to take it to countless students too.

Lauren Meadows Senior from Fishers, Indiana, majoring in political

science, history and Spanish What is your favorite IU memory? I think my favorite IU memory is living in Teter my freshman year.

Mostly because everyone from my floor I still consider really good friends, and living on my floor created this little community, which I feel started off my IU career really strongly. I’m still currently living with two people from my floor freshman year.

What is your most rewarding activity at IU? I serve on the Board of Aeons, which is a student advisory and research board that serves IU President McRobbie, and that has been really rewarding. We produce these recommendations and reports on how to improve student life at IU, and it’s really important to be because it creates a lasting effect I can leave behind.

Ophelia Luu Senior from Warsaw, Indiana, majoring in nutrition science Why did you apply for Homecoming Court? I applied because my scholarship adviser was on the court last year, and there

was a guy in my group who wanted to win something big. That’s when my adviser said he should run for Homecoming and he said he would but only if I ran as well. So we both applied, and here I am.

in studying really had an impact, and I’m glad to turn that around and give it all back to our school.

What is your favorite IU memory? The first day, when I went to Read Hall.

I come from a very small town, so coming to a university with 40,000 people is kind of scary, but as soon as I got there and put my stuff down and my roommate ran in to hug me, that was such a great day, and it was the start of a great career here.

What is your most rewarding activity at IU? I would say being the social media intern for the Walter Center, the career development center for the College of Arts and Sciences. I post a lot about jobs and career fairs and networking events. I love to see students come in and say “Oh my gosh, I have a job because of this, it really reached out to me,” and I just love to see that.

Janai Weeks Senior from Indianapolis majoring in journalism with a concentration in public relations

Haley Begay Senior from Pittsboro, Indiana, majoring in sports journalism and Spanish

Why did you apply for Homecoming Court? It’s something I've wanted to do since I was a sophomore year in high school. Senior year is a great time to do that because it’s my last year, really time to go big or go home.

Why did you apply for Homecoming Court? I wanted to be able to represent the university because being on the court is kind of a way to have a makeshift megaphone and say ‘if I can do this, you can too’. It kind of signifies all the hard work that I’ve put in. It’s a really thorough application process and so it’s nice to know that all those nights

What is your most rewarding activity at IU? I served in Campus Ministry and helping people in their time of need, giving them support and mentoring people really touches my heart.

Forty years have passed since IU last sported a mascot

By Doug Wattley dwattley@iu.edu | @dougwattley

In a conference with Brutus Buckeye, Bucky Badger and plenty of furry faces, IU still lacks a recognizable mascot.

In fact, it does not have one at all. Out of the 14 universities in the Big Ten conference, IU joins Illinois and Michigan as one of only three schools that does not sport a mascot.

Every other school, whether it be a live animal or an extremely energetic student in a costume, has one.

This has not always been the case for Indiana.

Realistically, it has have attempted numerous ideas to symbolize a Hoosier.

In the early 1900s, Indiana had mascots such as an owl and a raccoon. In 1912, it was the toddler son of a former athletic trainer.

That was followed by a bald eagle and a goat, thought of by the Indiana Daily Student, class of 1923, according to the IU website.

After giving a bulldog and a border collie a shot in the middle of the 20th century, the university could not find one that stuck.

Despite many failed attempts, IU continued on the search for its Hoosier mascot.

Finally, in 1965, a unanimous decision by the student senate named the bison the official mascot of the Indiana Hoosiers.

Influenced by the Indiana state seal, the school felt like the bison was the appropriate choice.

Students campaigned to have a live bison run around the recently created Memorial Stadium during football games.

Due to a high price the state did not want to pay, that idea was crossed out quickly.

The first attempt of a bison costume seemed to be a rough draft, as it lacked holes for arms and did not include hind legs. It was a pain for the student to wear, so after four long years, they switched to plan B. According to a 1969 IDS article, the school approached Walt Disney for assistance on creating a bison costume. Disney was busy at the time, but he suggested reaching out to a Los Angeles firm that brought many of his movie characters to life. They responded with the newest bison design.

The firm’s costume was put into action for a year, but students encountered problems once again.

This time, there was trouble breathing and horrible vision from the inside. After this, the idea of a bison mascot joined the physical costume in the dumpster.

After a decade of mascotless athletics, IU picked the route of a human mascot, tagged as Mr. Hoosier Pride. He would have a red beard and cowboy hat, almost looking like a little brother of Oklahoma State’s mascot, Sooner State. After eliminating the popular bison, the new mascot was the center of conversation across campus for the

This image appears on page 233 of the 1966 Arbutus yearbook. A portion of the caption for the Student Athletic Board reads: "To end the football season, IU's new mascot, the Bison, carried Jawn Purdue off to a fiery death at the Purdue Pep Rally 'Protest'." Apparently, this version of the bison mascot was only used during the 1965 football season.

The Bison mascot with cheer captain Sandy Vavul. In the 1960s, the Bison became the first official mascot because the Student Senate selected it in an official vote. The university attempted to purchase a live buffalo twice, but were foiled by safety concerns.

Theta Chi’s house dog, Ox, made the transition from fraternity pet to school mascot and served for several years beginning in 1959. He could be found around the football games wearing a red sweater with a white IU logo sewn on.

Mr. Hoosier Pride, a costumed cowboy, had to be played by two students in the course of one football game because the costume was so heavy, hot and difficult to maneuver in. One of Mr. Hoosier Pride’s most memorable moments was tackling the Brigham Young University cougar mascot when IU made an appearance at the Holiday Bowl.

Richard Albershardt (aka Dick Albers) was a star gymnast at IU. In the 1950s, he played a mascot character where he dressed up like an old Hoosier schoolmaster, removed the costume and entertained the crowd with feats on a trampoline.

wrong reasons.

“Mr. Hoosier Pride is the most asinine and ridiculouslooking character anyone could have ever dreamed up to be IU’s mascot,” IU student Ben Blair said in a 1979 IDS letter to the editor.

Mr. Hoosier Pride was cut at the end of the school year, marking the last time IU has had an official mascot.

Now, 40 years later, IU runs into the same problem that it has dealt with from the beginning: trying to find the

right one.

Will IU ever bring back the bison, or maybe even try a new costume? Or will the university continue to be the mascot-less Hoosiers?

Who knows. We’ll have to Big Red the Rooster was one proposed mascot submission after a contest searched for a new symbol, to no avail. wait and see.
