What is a Hoosier?

IU has had a number of mascots through the years, but none have stuck

By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu

What is a Hoosier?

Many IU fans have obsessed over that question and throughout the past century, many have tried to answer that question by creating a mascot for IU. From the 1920s to now, different mascots have been chosen to represent IU. The athletic department has used live animals and even commissioned Walt Disney to design a mascot.

But nothing has stuck and after many attempts, IU still lacks a mascot.

The first recorded mascot for IU appeared in the 1920s, when the Hoosiers used a Navy Billy goat as their mascot. In what would become a trend, the goat did not catch on.

Dogs seamed to be the next phase of mascots that students wanted. In the 1930s, a collie was selected as IU’s mascot by an election. The collie was supposed to be presented to the head football coach at halftime, but they didn’t have enough money for the collie.

In 1952, the Hoosier Schoolmaster became IU’s mascot, but it didn’t last long.

In the late 1950s, a bulldog became the new IU mascot. Theta Chi’s bulldog, Ox, became the mascot in 1958 and the dog would wear a red sweater with an “IU” on it in the center.

The longest running and most successful of the mascots was the bison. In the 1960s, IU adopted the bison as its mascot after a groundswell of support from students. The bison was chosen because the animal appears on the state seal of Indiana.

In October of 1965, the bison was voted on and approved by the Student Senate and became the first official mascot. At first, the students wanted to keep a live bison that would attend the football games. However, the state did not want to purchase the animal for the school.

The students turned to a bison costume as the alternative to having an actual bison. At first the costume was a full bison but, over time, the costume became just a bison’s head.

Dave Thompson was one of the students who would wear the bison costume.

“The job has all the benefits of being a regular cheerleader,” Thompson said in a 1967 Indiana Daily Student article.

In 1979, Mr. Hoosier Pride became the face of IU football. The mascot was instituted on a trial basis and it was a husky cowboy that had a red beard and a large cowboy hat.

“We needed one character to identify with the University,” thenAthletic Director Ralph Floyd said in an IDS article in 1979.

The mascot was divisive among the fans because Mr. Hoosier Pride was supposed to look like a hick and that rubbed some fans the wrong way. Mr. Hoosier Pride was active in his one season as it traveled to the Holiday Bowl and wrestled with BYU’s cougar mascot at the game.

The mascot did not attend basketball games and was not brought back after the 1979 football season.

In 1980, a contest was launched to find a new mascot for IU.

The Student Athletic Board had a drawing contest to come up with the ideas that could potentially become the mascot. The ideas that stuck were a rooster, a dragon, a gargoyle, Tasmanian devil and Henry Hoosier.

None of the ideas stuck and were never brought to life beyond a simple drawing.

Since 1980, there hasn’t been a real push to find a new mascot and no new mascot has been designed. However, that doesn’t mean the conversation around a mascot has stopped.

“I think it’s very important that we disagree on what a Hoosier means so that we continue to have this conversation,” IU professor of Indiana history James Madison said in a 2010 IDS article.

That’s the central question of the mascot conversation — from the collie, to the bison, to Mr. Hoosier Pride, what’s a Hoosier?

Though there hasn’t been a mascot instituted in many decades, IU Athletic Director Fred Glass said it could still happen.

“Ultimately that’s a university decision, and my belief is that if it bubbles up, it will be more a grass roots effort from students and fans,” Glass said in a 2011 Indianapolis Star article.

Former IU student Botti brings jazz back Award-winning trumpet player returns to perform, teach Jacobs School of Music ensemble homecoming weekend

By Mallory Haag mjhaag@indiana.edu @MalloryHaag

Jazz ballads and crooners’ tunes will play at 8 p.m.

Saturday night in the IU Auditorium when Chris Botti makes his homecoming return. As a Grammy award-winner and former IU student, he will return to campus for one night to play the jazz and ensemble numbers that have brought him national acclaim.

The trumpet player has received awards for his work both in the classical and pop genres including a Grammy Award in 2010 for Best Classical Crossover Album for his work with Yo-Yo Ma’s album “Songs of Joy & Peace” and Best Pop Instrumental Album in 2013 for “Impressions.”

“Chris Botti’s performances are awe-inspiring,” IU Auditorium Director Doug Booher said. “It’s perfect for both jazz enthusiasts and popular music lovers alike.”

Botti, who left IU in 1984, will receive the Distinguished Alumni Service Award for 2016 this homecoming weekend. The award is granted to former IU students who have become leaders in their field and contributed to their community in a significant way.

Botti will also conduct educational sessions with Jacobs School of Music students during his stay in Bloomington. The opportunity will be a great addition to the student’s learning processes, IU Auditorium managing director Maria Talbert said.

“We are thrilled that Mr. Botti and his ensemble will be engaging with IU students in activities leading up to their performance,” Talbert said. “Connecting our visiting artists to IU stu-

dents and members of our community is one of the major ways we are able to expand and enrich the student experience.”

Throughout his career, Botti has worked with a variety of musical artists from Michael Bublé to Paul Simon.

He has sold over 3 million albums and has become the largest selling jazz instrumental artist since the release of his album “When I Fall in Love” in 2004.

Botti’s experience has contributed to a performance that engages audiences, Booher said.

“He and his ensemble create a concert experience that is both engaging and intimate,” Booher said. “It is an honor and a privilege to welcome Chris back to IU and to have the opportunity to share his incredible talents with the Bloomington community.”

Both Talbert and Booher said they happily anticipate Botti’s performance and introducing students to his talent.

“It’s a testament to IU that we are able to attract and present world-class artists like Chris Botti,” Talbert said. “Providing the IU community the opportunity to see performances like his, which are commonly available only in much larger markets, greatly adds to the culture of the IU Bloomington campus.”

Talbert said Botti’s performance at IU has been anticipated for many years and that his return to Bloomington has become an event she is proud to experience.

“We have watched him perform alongside artists from Frank Sinatra to Sting over the breadth of his career, and couldn’t wait to bring him back home to IU,” Talbert said.

Watch-list quarterback to lead Nebraska

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman

It’s no secret Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett was the key to defeating the Hoosiers last week.

He accounted for 59 percent of the Buckeyes’ yards, and IU Coach Kevin Wilson called him the best quarterback in the nation after the game.

Now IU faces a similar threat in Nebraska senior quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr., Armstrong a dual-threat quarterback with a strong arm and experience.

“Anytime a quarterback can run it and throw it effectively, it creates challenges for any defense,” IU defensive coordinator Tom Allen said. “He makes it go just like Barrett makes Ohio State go.”

The similarities between the quarterbacks is as visible as the number of wins each of their teams have.

Armstrong averages 58.6 yards on the ground going into the matchup with the Hoosiers on Saturday, while Barrett averaged 51 going into last week. Armstrong averages 230 yards through the air, and Barrett averages 196.

Both quarterbacks have defeated top-25 teams — Armstrong and Nebraska beat then-No. 22 Oregon, and Barrett and Ohio State defeated then-No. 14 Oklahoma.

Both lead top-10 teams.

Nebraska is ranked 10th.

So what’s the difference between the two quarterbacks?

It’s how each quarterback runs within his offense’s system, Allen said.

“I’d say that Armstrong’s a little faster, a little more explosive type of guy,” Allen said. “Any time you run the

quarterback — and the way Ohio State runs their quarterback — they’re designed, it’s not like he’s scrambling around.”

Ohio State ran the ball up and down the field against IU, and Barrett was responsible for 26 of its runs, the most of any Buckeye during the game. When he got the call, Barrett knew he would have the ball.

It’s different for Armstrong. Nebraska’s system is more open-ended.

Armstrong can drop back and then decide what to do with the ball, Allen said. He has more options, and his coaches open the door for his own creation.

“He definitely has quarterback runs, but not to the volume, by scheme, what Ohio State has shown in the past,” Allen said.

On average, Armstrong averages 288.8 yards per

game for the Cornhuskers.

That’s 61 percent of their total yards per game.

He’s on the Davey O’Brien Award watch list and the Maxwell Award watch list for the best player in the nation.

He owns the career records at Nebraska for passing touchdowns and passing yards. He’s second in career yardage from scrimmage with nearly 8,832 yards, and he has recorded the most 300-total yard games in Nebraska history with 11.

After IU faced the best offense in the conference in Columbus, Ohio, Armstrong leads the second-best offense in the Big Ten into Bloomington on Saturday.

“He’s that extra guy that you have to account for at the point of attack,” Allen said. “You can’t play with twelve, so to get that extra guy there.”

Love IU?

THE HUSS NETWORK

Top game day traditions to remember during Homecoming

By Andrew Hussey | aphussey@indiana.edu | @thehussnetwork

1. Hep’s Rock The best IU football tradition is the most symbolic and profound. Former IU Coach Terry Hoeppner found a limestone boulder on the practice field in his first season in Bloomington.

He had it moved to its current location in the north end zone where every player would touch the rock before each game. After his death from a brain tumor, the rock now serves as a memorial.

Today, players touch the rock before running onto the field. The rock will always have a special place with the IU program because anything tapping into emotion and legacy makes for a distinctive tradition.

Be ready to sing

2. Uniforms and Helmets IU isn’t Oregon when it comes to crazy uniform combinations, but IU’s uniforms are always terrific.

The team doesn’t change it up when it comes to jerseys and pants because the Hoosiers have a few sets that really work.

The helmets are awesome.

From the chrome to the state flag, they really draw you in and set IU apart from most other teams. When you don’t have a traditional look, it’s fun to make being different a tradition.

Come and join in song together, Shout with might and main.

Our beloved Alma Mater, Sound her praise again.

Gloriana Frangipana, E’er to her be true.

She’s the pride of Indiana, Hail to Old IU!

There are some songs that any Hoosier fan should know, or at least be able to hum along with, during the football game.

IU FIGHT SONG “Indiana, Our Indiana” Indiana, our Indiana Indiana, we’re all for you We will fight for the cream and crimson For the glory of old IU. Never daunted, we cannot falter In the battle, we’re tried and true.

Indiana, our Indiana, Indiana, we’re all for you!

ALMA MATER “Hail to Old IU”

IDS FILE PHOTO

3. The Fight Song Every school has a fight song, and IU’s is one of the better ones out there. It sparks passion and pride into the fanbase, while uniting IU fans past and present.

Best of all, it is played after every IU touchdown, so if you hear it, you know IU scored. It’s quintessential college football.

Bonus points for the fists and blades at the end of the song, which sets it apart from other fight songs.

4. Raise the Flag After an IU victory, a giant IU flag is raised above

Memorial Stadium to proclaim a Hoosier victory. The crimson flag is massive and can be seen from far away on campus.

What’s better than seeing this sign that IU has won, especially after a big victory?

“Raise the flag” also doubles as cool motivational slogan.

5. Third Down Shark Chomp Whenever the Hoosiers are on the defense and need a stop on third down, IU fans are prompted to make noise and do the shark chomp.

While it might resemble Florida’s gator chomp, the Jaws music and the arm motion create an intense atmosphere inside Memorial Stadium. It would be higher on the list, but it’s a shark chomp, which has zero direct ties with the state of Indiana or Hoosiers.

Q&A with the 2016 homecoming queen and king candidates

Maggie Gelon Major Journalism and Political Science Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

My chapter sent out a notification that this was going out and thought it would be a really cool opportunity to be a part of something so iconic to IU. What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

First of all, I just think the atmosphere in general on campus throughout the whole week is really cool.

People are really excited and to have all of these visitors of people who have been here before is really cool.

The parade is probably my favorite specific thing, just to see a sea of red on Kirkwood last year. It was very, very cool.

What’s your favorite IU memory?

Probably all of my late night trips to Baked! and Jiffytreat.

I like to tell people that I’m minoring in Jiffytreat.

Because those are the moments I’ve had with my friends, so that kind of binding has been the stuff that I’m going to remember.

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? The most rewarding moments have been the moments I’ve spent tutoring kids. When they get it, it’s really rewarding, whatever you are teaching to them.

Even if you’re not doing something that’s school related, just being a support system for them and when they see you and they’re like, “Maggie’s here!” that’s so rewarding.

Lexie Heinemann Major Cinema and Media Arts Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

I had always wanted to be a part of homecoming in some way. As a senior, I thought it was really fitting to want to round out my last full year here as a part of a really big tradition. Knowing that I’m going to be an alumni come May, I already can’t wait to come back for homecoming.

So while it’s bittersweet that I will have to leave, I know it will be a really great way to get me amped about the opportunities I’ll have when I’m not a student here to still be involved with my alma mater. I always think it’s really nice when you get to meet other student leaders that have a really big affect on their community that you otherwise wouldn’t have had

the chance to meet. So even though it’s a small selection of us, it’s still a lot of people that I haven’t met before.

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

My favorite homecoming activity is the game. I know usually my parents will come down for it and it’s just everyone’s bustling at once. There’s so much going on. I mean, yes ,the traffic is pretty terrible, but it just brings everyone together in one place. Children, parents, grandparents, friends, people from everywhere come to experience it with us. It’s hard to describe how exciting it is. I mean, gameday it’s just amazing when you are in the stadium with thousands of other Hoosiers just in a sea of red cheering together.

Tashia Roberson

Elaina Wilson

Major Human Development and Family Studies

Major Journalism and Political Science

Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

I applied for several reasons.

One being I remembered Michelle Whitley. She was an African American female and just seeing her apply for the homecoming court, seeing her service around campus really just motivated me, give me drive to really know that the sky is the limit to anything I want to achieve. Also, I have younger siblings that I just always want to remind them that they are a queen. IU has just given me the opportunity to serve and lead in places that I never thought I would. Just knowing competitive the court is and the standard that the court is held to, I really wanted to be a part of that.

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

It has to be the tailgate. I just love seeing everyone come around, come together and just talk to people I’ve never talked to but we all have the common love of IU. What’s your favorite IU memory?

My favorite IU memory is being able to work with Pi Lambda Phi with their week of elimination of prejudice.

Being able to come together as a historically black sorority and work with someone that is completely opposite of us and bring the community together to eliminate prejudice, to bring awareness to mental illness, that really helped me find SEE ROBERSON, PAGE 11

Kathryn Szymanski Major Psychology B.A. with business minor Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

At first, we got this email that said “This is your year” and I thought yes it is. And then I was filing out the application and I was writing all of my qualifications and thought I could be homecoming queen, and ultimately that’s why I applied.

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

I love the football game, mainly because I’m in the band. I like being in the band because it’s, I don’t know what it’s like being in the student section, but the band always wins. We’re still always excited even when we’re losing if we score a touchdown we’re still happy, no matter what.

What’s your favorite IU memory?

Probably my freshman year, when our floor was just starting to get to know each other and we decided to go to a fall festival. This hot air balloon made a crash landing in the arboretum and we got to go and look at it They had the fire to blown air into it, and it was just a really cool experience that you never really get to see.

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? Over the summer I served as vice president of a national organization (National Senior Classical League) and getting through that week was really tough, but the fact that I got through it and I was able to serve on the board as a vice president was so rewarding, that would be my moment.

Whether you’re hitting the books or sinking the shots, continue this school year seeing your best. The Atwater Eyecare Center offers a wide range of professional eyecare services and a huge eyeglass selection at one convenient location.

Now accepting applications for Fall 2017

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

I love football, so definitely the game. I love the sport and I love the fact that during the homecoming game there is such a large amount of alumni that come in and fill the stands.

What’s your favorite IU memory?

I studied abroad in Chile last year, in May so after the school year ended, but

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? I am a peer mentor for a service on campus and I would say my favorite IU memory is all of last year just seeing the six proteges that I mentored throughout the year really bloom and become more confident in themselves, more involved, and come to really love IU and their time here.

Sara Zaheer Major Political Science major, also in the Liberal Arts & Management Program Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

It is my senior year and I thought that it would be a really cool tradition to get involved with. So this summer I told all of my friends it would be fun if we all applied for it and then I ended up getting on. So a nice turn of events.

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

I would have to say the football game just because it’s always packed and there’s such a sense of community in Memorial Stadium. It’s really cool to see everybody get rowdy about our team.

What’s your favorite IU memory?

I’m student body president, so getting the phone calls saying that my team got the most votes was kind of amazing. Everyone was screaming so I didn’t hear at the time how many we got, but it turned out.

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? Just being a leader at any level on campus because there are so many things that you can do with it. I like bringing people together and I like showing them if there’s something that I’ve learned that they can use. I love passing it on.

Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

I applied because I’ve really taken advantage of all of the things that IU has to offer in terms of getting involved, and there is a very wide array. So I thought that I could take my experiences of being involved and represent IU and try to get other younger students here at IU more involved.

throughout the year I was enrolled in a Media in Latin America course in which we had the opportunity to learn about the different media platforms in South America and Chile specifically. So the entire semester just taking a closer look at that and preparing for my time in Chile and then just the fact that IU has those opportunities to dive deeper into another culture and gives you the opportunity to learn about other cultures.

Pete Arnold Major Biology Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

I got an email from the race director, I work with her on Rider’s Council, and she was like “Hey, I think this would be a great opportunity.” And I thought why not? It’d be a great chance to represent IU and stand on the football field.

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

I’ve enjoyed the parade in year’s past. I think it’s always fun seeing the different bikers, like Sig Ep or Rider’s Council people roll through.

So seeing the bikers and seeing them follow everybody in, just the whole procession of it all.

What’s your favorite IU memory?

Last year during the Little 500, just standing, watching them sing “Back Home Again in Indiana” and right at the end they release, like, thousands of balloons up

Julian Batts

in the sky. So stands are packed, “Back Home Again in Indiana”, the balloon release, it’s just that specific, but Little 500 overall is just great.

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? There’s been a lot of good experiences and moments and to say one is more than another is tough. I have to go back to Little 500. Just getting to ride in it and we didn’t do as well as we wanted to but, of course 32 teams will say they didn’t do as well because they want to be the one that won, but even just getting to ride and do it.

And last year my brother was on the steering committee and so he’s standing on the stage in the middle and every time I’d come around I’d hear his voice just cheering and going and that kind of helped me keep going. Even though we didn’t win, just getting to participate in that and just stepping away and realizing that race has been happening since 1951, 1952.

Just a small blip in it’s history.

Major Marketing and Professional Sales, minor in Spanish

and campus groups that are part of the parade so it’s a great time.

Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

I applied for homecoming court to hopefully bring awareness to my peer group and those around me that the IU Alumni Association is a very powerful resource to take advantage of both as a student and a soon-to-be alum. So I know that, as a senior, I’m about to graduate and go out into the real world and I know how powerful the word alumni can be. So I felt that I could get a glimpse of that exposure through being a part of homecoming court.

What’s your favorite IU memory?

I think my role as an R.A. I have had the privilege of getting to meet several hundred students that have gone through living on campus and have been able to get to know them and they’ve gotten to know me. And from that I have just been able to be a much better individual and wore that with a lot of pride.

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

My favorite activity is definitely the parade. It just brings a lot of energy to the city of Bloomington, to the campus.

I think everybody kind of gets together and brings a lot of energy to the floats and to the different community groups

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? I would say being able to just be a part of a variety of different organizations in the Kelley School of Business, the Office of Scholarships, through residential Programs and Services. I can’t really narrow it down to one, but just the wide range of experience that I’ve been able to get from my range of involvement.

Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

It’s my senior year and I said, “You know what, try something new.” It’s something that I’d never really considered and, up until last year, I didn’t really know much about homecoming to be honest. I just thought it’s senior year and it’s time for me to make the most of the year. And homecoming is a time where Hoosiers from all around the country, all around the world come home.

It’s a chance to really kind of

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

The game because I think the game is what everybody associates with IU, with the sports. It just brings back all of those memories of tailgating or hanging out with friends and interacting with people.

So the football game is more than just a game, it brings back all of those memories.

What’s your favorite IU memory?

The day I figured out I was

going to be an R.A. I got the email and that day kind of confirmed for me that this is the beginning, the true beginning, of being able to expand the impact tenfold of making it more so than I ever thought possible.

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? My first year as an R.A. I had a resident that struggled with mental health issues and she had always issued with that since high school and hated college. She didn’t want to be here. She hadn’t told this to a single person all year, so one night she went to my room

and she was sobbing and she wanted to go home. That night I got her talking about something she was passionate about, which was Disney, which is a shared interest. So this girl who had connected with anybody all year, she dominated this conversation and was talking all about Disney and her connections and the rewarding part happened afterwards. We were walking back to her room and I had two male residents sitting in our lounge area and an empty aquarium.

She pointed at the tank and looked at the two boys and said, “We should get some fish.” And it was one sentence,

just one interaction, but that was my most rewarding experience ever because in that moment I was reminded why I wanted to be an R.A. in the first place. Because you get to impact people in a way that’s very unique to that position. You never know how far reaching your impact can be. Your words, your actions.

In that moment, I think I had shown her something that she had forgotten about herself which is that ability to find something she’s passionate about. To talk to people, to interact, and it was inspiring to watch.

Ryan Dietrich Major Finance Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

First, I found out about it sophomore year in one of my professor’s classes, he’s actually one of the judges, Professor Craft talked about it. But I felt like being on the homecoming court would be a really cool platform especially just within the community of Bloomington.

Getting to be in the parade and getting to be on the field, just kind of having a platform for younger kids to look up to and to be able to spread love and just to be a smiling face and a representative of IU. I thought it was a really unique opportunity.

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

I love the tailgate. It’s such a tradition of IU in general how everyone’s families come into town and you can all just cook out together and have a community before the game.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 don’t expect something just by standing there rooting for your team to affect you in certain way but it really puts into perspective how much everyone in this community loves their school. When I’m there, I can’t imagine being anywhere else.

What’s your favorite IU memory?

Being a T.A. for Intensive Freshman Seminars. I’ve done it for three years in a row so I wound up being a T.A for the first class I ever took here, which is The Critical Issue,

What’s your favorite IU memory?

Me and my friends all went caving together, went spelunking, in the Bloomington area and just got off campus, put on our head lamps and swim trunks and went and explored the caves together. We just explored the nature side of Bloomington. That’s one of my favorite memories.

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? It’s hard to say just a moment, but just getting to invest in our underclassmen and see in people who are younger than me who I have been able to mentor grow and become better people and understand life better and have a better perspective on their life and their future. It’s been a rewarding thing for me, just watching people grow and watching people become better people as they get older. IU has been really rewarding just watching people improve and get older.

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? Just being eligible for graduation in May, being able to be a part of Homecoming Court, just

being able to serve, and just being able to be here.

I’m very grateful for the opportunities that I’ve had at IU.

Philosophy, Film and Music.

So I was exposed to a lot of academic material that I hadn’t learned about before. It inspired me to start studying film, I ultimately wound up a film student. I met a great deal of my lifelong best friends in that class.

me. You’ve given me good resources to go off of.” Where it’s building a community in areas that maybe community has been lost or wavered in slightly. Where getting a leadership position in that and getting to meet the vice provost or talk to administrators about what I think would help the school perform better in some ways. Having that avenue for student feedback is a really unique experience and a lot of people don’t get that opportunity so I’m not only grateful but excited about it and that’s what makes it the most rewarding is knowing that when you are gone you will have some impact.

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? When I was became cochair of Culture of Care.

Where being a part of an organization that really cares about students is, I think, the most rewarding thing that I’ve experienced. Where I’ve talked to people that say, “This has really helped

Andrew Guenther Major Law and Public Policy Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

This is my third year on IU’s Homecoming Court and I really love representing the University because IU has given me a lot and I like to think that, in my time at the University, I’ve given as much as I can. I love serving on homecoming court because I get to meet all of these great students who have done the same and truly express to the community how much I really love this university.

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

The parade. I work with the city, and county as well as IU so I really like seeing the Bloomington community and the IU community come together to cheer on the team.

Too often I think there’s a divide there and I like how the parade brings us together.

What’s your favorite IU memory?

It would definitely be working with student governments to get reforms passed to help the LGBT community here, specifically in regards to allowing transgender students to put their preferred name on their ID rather than their legal name. That was a great initiative that a lot of people worked on and the fact that it was implemented and made IU better for those students means the world.

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? It would be when I met students who were affected by that action and they were so much happier and they felt more secure and safe at the University because of it.

Just that fact that we made someone’s life better by passing those reforms, it really meant a lot.

Nathan Sands Major Business Management and Marketing, International Business Why did you apply to be on homecoming court?

I applied because one of my friends sent me the link and I was an orientation leader over the summer and so our Twitter account, the First Year Experiences, kept retweeting it and my friend was like “Yeah, you should apply. You could potentially make it on there.”

So I just thought okay and applied just to see what would happen and I’m excited that I got on.

What’s your favorite homecoming activity?

Probably the parade.

What’s your favorite IU memory?

During Traditions and Spirits this past year, I got to shoot the T-shirt cannon into the incoming class and that was really fun. It was so much fun.

What was your most rewarding moment at IU? I would say, as an orientation leader, at the beginning of the day, one of the students came up to me and she said, “Yeah, so I’m basing my opinion of IU off of today so I’ll let you know how it goes.” So inside I was freaking out because it’s all on me, but at the end of the day she found me at Late Night and she told me that she was going to stay at IU and give it a shot. I was excited because my orientation leader did that for me and so that was my goal to do it for someone else as well.
