AMY KRACH

Greenfield, IN Senior, outdoor recreation, parks and human ecology and tourism, hospitality and event management majors IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? DARNELL When the application announcement was made, I was curious about what the qualifications entailed. Once I realized how much of an emphasis it had on leadership and loyalty to IU, I knew I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity. IDS What is your favorite Homecoming activity? DARNELL The Homecoming Parade. It is always exciting to see the eclectic group of students, clubs and organizations come together and support our school so passionately. IDS What has been your favorite IU memory? DARNELL As a Trip Leader at IU Outdoor Adventures, I am fortunate enough to lead fellow students

in to the backcountry through adventure trips and courses for credit. From canoeing on the Rio Grande River, to skiing in Michigan, to paddling in Everglades National Park, these experiences were all with students and would not have been possible without IU. IDS What has been your most rewarding moment while at IU? DARNELL It is difficult to pick one moment because facilitating experiences and my sharing my passion for the outdoors is always rewarding. Every single trip that I have lead has brought new challenges and continues to increase my passion for this field. Sharing those experiences with others and watching them step out of their comfort zone and learn is incredibly fulfilling.

Fort Wayne, IN Senior, biology major with a certificate in nonprofit management and a minor in Spanish IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? KRACH I have always tried to take full advantage of the countless opportunities to get involved and the many unique experiences IU has to offer, and I figured this would be an especially awesome addition to my IU experience during my final year here. I also felt it would be great honor to represent this school that has enabled me to grow so much. IDS What is your favorite Homecoming activity? KRACH I’m excited for the Nearly Naked Mile! IDS What has been your favorite IU memory? KRACH Oh man, I have too many enjoyable memories to pick a favorite! But I will say that my friends and I used to convince everyone on our dorm floor to do crazy and maybe a little strange things such as hiking down the Jordan

river during a rainstorm or playing “tackle tag,” a game better demonstrated than explained, in the snow, and those experiences were always quite memorable. IDS What has been your most rewarding moment while at IU? KRACH Again, I am not sure I can pinpoint one memory that was the most meaningful. However, I am sure that the most rewarding moments have been those that I felt I was more than just a student, and that I was truly contributing to the good of the world in some small way. Many of these experiences have been through the Best Buddies program. Sandy, my buddy for all four years and IU basketball’s number one fan, has been one of the truest friends I have made during college and the time spent with her always reminds me of what’s most important: bringing joy to others.

Students gear up for homecoming parade By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy

Of all the student groups preparing for the homecoming parade Oct. 17, the students at Collins LLC might be the most excited. Aimes Dobbins, the campus involvement director at Collins, said the group has been meeting for three weeks, hoping to create an entry that will win first place. “I’m very passionate about homecoming,” Dobbins said. “Everyone thinks Collins is strange and weird and doesn’t have school spirit.” Last year, Collins had enough school spirit to place first for its float in the Residence Life Division. Dobbins pulled a large red a gold trophy from a shelf and held it up. “I’m really proud of this,” Dobbins said. Last year, the group drove Dobbins’ IU-themed Jeep down Kirkwood Avenue, with some people walking behind and hand-

ing out candy. Dobbins wouldn’t say what the group’s float idea is for this year because it wants to win again. “We are bringing out Collins artifacts from the depths of the Smith attic,” Dobbins said. “But that’s all I can say.” Dobbins said it was possible that Collins came first in its category last year because few residence halls participated in the parade and all entries participate in different categories. Collins hopes to see more residence halls out this year. Isabel Hale, a student fellow at the IU Alumni Association said a lot of student organizations register floats, but the number of organizations participating this year is undetermined. “People wait until the last minute to register,” Hale said. “There’s no cap. However many we get we try to fit in.” Hale said groups like ROTC, La Casa Latino Cultural Center and the Athletic Board would be returning this year. The Alumni Association also tries to get an IU

sports team to participate in the parade, but so far no one has been confirmed. “Last year we had the softball and baseball teams,” Hale said. “IU Athletics always does some sort

of fireworks as they walk and that’s really cool.” La Casa administrative assistant Leticia Gonzalez said the center is planning a cultural entry for this year. “We’re trying to do some-

thing based on a quinceañera,” Gonzalez said. In a way, Dobbins said they are trying to change the perception of the Collins culture for the IU community.

“We’re dedicated to bringing people together for IU,” Dobbins said. “It’s important for us to prove that we’re passionate about IU. I think people were excited for Collins to come out.”

Students run Nearly Naked Mile for a cause By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu @sarahhhgardner

A group of runners wearing far less clothing than usual meet in Dunn Meadow and race around campus Wednesday night of Homecoming week each year. The homecoming tradition of the Nearly Naked Mile is in its eighth year, said Mike Mann, director of alumni programs with the IU Alumni Association and one of the event’s organizers. “It’s a fun event, and just a really good way to kick things off for homecoming,” Mann said. But the event is for more than just fun, Mann said. To register, students can either donate $10 or two items of clothing. In 2014, the run raised $2,528. These donations go to United Way of Monroe County, one of 1,200 local United Way offices. United Way is a nonprofit organization that focuses on advancing education, income and health in communities around the country. The initial idea behind the Nearly Naked Mile was running without a shirt to symbolize a clothing donation, said Angel Flowers, program advisor for the Union Board. “Its purpose really is a philanthropic event, and so we’re trying to get it back on track with that mission,” Flowers said. Part of this effort involves bringing a representative from United Way to speak to participants after the run. The Union Board and the IU Alumni Association have begun to coordinate the event together in the last few years, Flowers said. “We wanted to start doing more student-related activities and we wanted to be able to give the event greater purpose,” Mann said.

The run begins in Dunn Meadow, takes students around Showalter Fountain and finishes at the Sample Gates. The event also features live music, with the band 800 lb Gorilla playing in Dunn Meadow after the run this year. Student organizations, including Culture of Care and OASIS, set up tables and activities after the run. “We realize that when students are running nearly bare, it’s important to make sure people feel comfortable and safe,” Mann said. “We want to be a responsible organization and pick good campus partners.” It was not expected to become so popular, Flowers said.

The run is now part of the IU Bucket List the Office of First Year Experiences gives to new students. “Part of it has to do with it being during Homecoming week, which really pulls the student body together and unifies them,” Flowers said. “And another thing is that it’s just one mile. It’s super simple, which makes it more fun for people.” This year, a points system was introduced for students and the organizations they represent to make the run more competitive, Mann said. “We really want students to get into it,” Flowers said. “It’s become such a big IU tradition, and what student wouldn’t want to be a part of that?”

Local restaurants expect crowds By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu @Anne_Halliwell

As homecoming weekend approaches, local dining spots prepare for an influx of alumni and visitors to town. Ron Stanhouse, the manager and owner of Crazy Horse Food and Drink Emporium, called Homecoming a “fantastic, busy” weekend for restaurant owners. “A lot of people use it as an excuse to come back to Bloomington ... and relive the best years of their life,” Stanhouse said. For Stanhouse, general prep for the weekend of Oct. 17 involves stocking up on key ingredients, scheduling many staff members and keeping an eye on the weather. “(People) go to the stadium, they get cold, so they go to the bars and restaurants to warm up,” Stanhouse said. “Sometimes the weather changes the script.” With such a rush of customers on game day, Stanhouse said Crazy Horse usually also creates a “speed menu” — two pages instead of the usual four, with some favorite items prioritized and basic dishes that can be made quickly in large quantities. “Within an hour after the game ends — holy cow,” Stanhouse said. “It’s pretty bonkers downtown.” Every weekend is chaotic, Jordyn Fox of FARM Bloomington said, so preparation for homecoming weekend shouldn’t be much worse. “These busy weekends are really great for us, since we’re going to get into that slower season after Thanksgiving,” said Fox, the public relations and special events manager. Since many students go home during Thanksgiving break and visit relatives during Christmas, the usual rush of family members into Bloomington tends to slow down during the holiday season, Fox said.

Staff picks for local eats Many Bloomington eateries have homecoming menus. Here are our staff picks for what to order at these three.

FARM Bloomington specializes in local foods with global flavors that change with the seasons. Jordyn Fox of FARM Bloomington said it will likely put out an east-coast themed special for Homecoming to relate to Rutgers being from New Jersey.

In terms of preparation, Fox said servers will fold about 1,000-1,500 napkins ahead of time for the weekend. Because IU is playing Rutgers from New Jersey, Fox also thought it likely that the restaurant would put out an east coast-themed special. Jeff Finch, the chef and owner of Finch’s Brasserie, said his restaurant would add staff during the weekend. As Finch’s is a slightly more expensive dining option, Finch said he anticipated parents and alumni in town for Homecoming would make up most of their clientele. The Brasserie, which uses local food will also serve seasonal specials homecoming weekend using fall produce like greens, squash and sweet potatoes, Finch said. “We can’t really have ‘local’ seafood, (but) seafood, like everything else, is seasonal,” Finch said. “One of

the things we’re really excited about is (that) it’s getting into Nantucket Bay scallop season.” Finch said he’d just ordered some of the small, sweet scallops for homecoming weekend. Stanhouse said some of the customers who come through his restaurant that weekend might miss some of Bloomington’s other events. “Homecoming is more than just a football game,” Stanhouse said. “I never really get the impression that (alumni) pay attention to activities other than the game.” Stanhouse said one of his favorite activities is the Homecoming Parade down Kirkwood Avenue, but alumni might not remember to keep an eye out for the other activities slated for the weekend. “(Alumni) want to hit Nick’s, they want to head down Kirkwood and see the Sample Gates,” Stanhouse said. “Most of our visitors aren’t really looking for that agenda.”

Sporting your spirit A guide to wearing your IU pride By Kathrine Schulze schulzek@indiana.edu | @kas_schulze

Homecoming is more than a football game, a competition for homecoming court or an opportunity to raise a little hell. It’s a chance to show your love for this University. It’s a day where you can push the limits of fashion and, as long as you’re sporting cream and crimson, no one will judge. If you’re trying to hide from an ex-boyfriend, ex-friend — ex-anything really — all you need to do to blend into the crowd is throw on a tailgate shirt. They’re everywhere and, on a normal game day, a great go-to. Homecoming calls for a little something extra, though. So it’s time to leave the tailgate shirts at home and go just a little crazy. A perfect way to stay warm and stand out from the crowd is to hunt the vintage stores (there are many in this town) and find yourself a nice knit, red and white baggy cardigan to throw over a white T-shirt. Everyone and their brother has a white Tshirt. So, if you’re struggling for time or money it is the simplest option come game day. Don’t just use red as an afterthought this year, but make it your main color. Candy striped pants are always a good way to go, but if you don’t have the means to shell out $50 for pants that are only acceptable to wear on game days, don’t be discouraged. You can always find great, slightly tacky

red pieces at Goodwill. Bonus if you can find a pair of red, long overalls. Roll up the bottoms to show off the high tops you’ll inevitably wear and cheer your heart out. Don’t forget to keep your socks in Hoosier colors. If you are really getting into the homecoming spirit, buy some temporary red hair paint and color a strip (or your whole head) crimson. Because, let’s be honest, the most spirited people at homecoming aren’t just wearing cream and crimson, but have the colors everywhere. While I suggest leaving the face paint at home — it can smear pretty easily and fade throughout the day — a temporary tattoo on your cheek is always acceptable. For girls, this is the perfect time to bring back the scrunchy and embrace the red lip. Grab Mardi Gras beads from the dollar store and go to town. Have at least two possible outfits in mind for Homecoming for different types of weather. It’s finally fall, and we’re all incredibly happy to be able to walk to class without being sweaty messes when we get there. But October can be unpredictable, and though we’re all hoping for 65 and sunny, there’s always a possibility of dreary weather. So layer well and leave the shorts at home. Homecoming is for celebrating — celebrating that our football team isn’t completely terrible this year, but also celebrating just how nice it is to be a Hoosier. Our school is pretty great, now let’s show it.

The Hoosiers get pumped up before their game against the Buckeyes on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Memorial Stadium. IU lost to No. 1 Ohio State, 34-27.

Bouncing back IU cornerback, secondary look to contain Rutgers star receiver By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu @BrodyMillerIDS

IU defensive coordinator Brian Knorr said he noticed a special focus in Rashard Fant’s eyes when the sophomore cornerback was watching Rutgers receiver Leonte Carroo play then-No. 4 Michigan State last weekend. In Carroo’s first game back from a two-game suspension, he compiled 134 yards and three touchdowns on seven catches as the Scarlet Knights nearly upset the Spartans. Fant was watching intently because he is expected to match up with the All-Big Ten receiver for much of this Saturday when IU plays Rutgers. “He will get tested this week,” Knorr said. But the IU defense is no stranger to Carroo. In the third quarter of the matchup between IU and Rutgers in Piscataway, New Jersey, last fall, Carroo caught a pass near the sideline that would have accounted for 16 yards. But as IU cornerback Tim Bennett leapt toward him from behind, Carroo shook him off, tip-toed along the sideline and stayed in bounds to take the ball an extra 18 yards for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, he also beat then-junior linebacker Zack Shaw and went untouched for a 56-yard touchdown. Carroo finished with 125 yards and two touchdowns. IU Coach Kevin Wilson remembers Carroo. “They’re throwing it to maybe one of the better players in not only the conference, but in college football,” he said. “The young man Carroo, a tremendous and very talented receiver. It’s a threat to score every play he’s on the field.” Knorr said Carroo is a guy that is skilled in many areas

IU (4-2) vs. Rutgers (2-3) 3:30 p.m., Saturday Memorial Stadium — physicality, route-running, ball skills — and will be as talented as any receiver IU will face all year. While Fant and the other cornerbacks have a large test in front of them, Knorr was pleased with what he has seen from Fant lately. Fant came into IU as one of the higher-rated recruits in the 2013 class. The athleticism was there, but coaches pushed him to gain weight so he could contend in Big Ten football. So when Fant was named IU’s co-defensive player of the week for his performance against Penn State, it could be viewed as a sign of progress. He is the fastest guy on the defense “by far,” Knorr said, but Knorr was primarily impressed with what Fant did physically by bringing down Penn State receivers when they got the ball outside. “Rashard is a great competitor,” Knorr said. He leads the team with 11 pass breakups and has 23 solo tackles this season. Fant will not be the only player covering Carroo, though. Knorr said he has been happy with freshman cornerback Andre Brown, Jr. and that many people will be involved in containing him. “Certainly he is a guy who everyone will have to know where he is,” Knorr said. In only three games this season, Carroo has 315 yards and six touchdowns. Nearly half of his 14 receptions have ended with six points. So Saturday, at IU’s homecoming game, Fant will have an opportunity to display any progress he has made. “I believe he is up to the challenge,” Knorr said.

Hoosiers, Scarlet Knights meet for 1st Homecoming game Saturday By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @trlehman_IDS

With Homecoming weekend quickly approaching Saturday, IU football is preparing for a new opponent. In the wake of an age-old tradition in which the Hoosiers have played 102 games going on their 103rd, the team won’t be playing its rivals Purdue, Michigan or even Michigan State. They will be playing the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. “I think it’s a big opportunity,” IU associate athletics director Jeremy Gray said about IU’s match-up with Rutgers. “Both programs are looking to build, and it should be a good game.” Since joining the Big Ten in July of 2014, IU and Rutgers have played headto-head one time, the first meeting in both programs’ histories. The result? A 45-23 Scarlet Knights victory. Saturday, IU (4-1) and Rutgers (2-3) ignite a new series within the Big Ten East, despite the newest member of the conference being from Piscataway, New Jersey. “They are a great addition to the conference,” Gray said. “They’ll be a divisional rival, and, with New York City being the fourth-largest IU alumni community, it works in reversal too when we go to play there.” With a Homecoming football record of 44-52-6, IU has not seen the success that many teams find during the tradition, despite the larger crowds that arrive at Memorial Stadium. “It’s always one of our bigger games, no matter who the opponent is,” Gray said. “There’s usually always a bigger crowd there, and the atmosphere is always great. The crowd really helps in creating what Homecoming is.” Last season against Rutgers, former Hoosier running

back Tevin Coleman ran for 307 yards and a touchdown, as the Hoosiers were without quarterback Nate Sudfeld. Rutgers finished last season 8-5 under third-year coach Kyle Flood, and they were 11-2 in 2006 while under Greg Schiano for 11 years. The program reached a height of seventh in the nation under Schiano before he left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL. Since Kyle Flood took over in 2012, the program has changed conferences from its original Big East, to the American Conference and then to the Big Ten. It also has gone 27-18 under its new coach, won just one of its three bowl games and kicked five players off the team due to home invasions and assaults cases. IU is a program of near symmetry to the Rutgers program, in terms of suspensions and building, as it dismissed safety Antonio Allen from the program due to drug charges and suspended nine players in week one of the season due to undisclosed reasons. Now both schools are trying to work back to winning ways, as IU has a record of 4-2 and Rutgers a 2-3 record. Gray said a tradition IU attempts every season on Homecoming weekend is to reunite teams or other groups with significance to the football program and provide a ceremony during a break in the game. This season, IU will reunite the 1945 team that went 9-0-1 under head coach Bo McMillin, and they will shade the 45 yard line a different color in honor of the year the team went undefeated. “It’s a really great tradition to have every year,” Gray said about Homecoming. “We always try to make it special, and regardless of the opponent, it’s going to be a great game and a great time.”

Cheerleaders rally in front of the Sample Gates during the Oct. 17, 2014, homecoming parade.

Cheerleading spirit shown at homecoming By Courtney Robb crobb@indiana.edu | @CourttyKayy

On an afternoon in early October, a sell-out crowd dressed in red and white filled the stands of Memorial Stadium waiting for IU football to play No.1 Ohio State. It was a game where IU spirit would be needed the most as the unranked Hoosiers played the defending national champion Buckeyes. That’s where IU cheerleading comes in. “We’re a very traditional squad and we take a lot of pride in them with the school,” senior cheerleader Kori Boe said. “We want to make the alumni and the current student body proud. We’re the spirit and tradition of IU and I think we do a good job keeping those traditions alive.” IU cheerleading consists of 58 students split into two teams. The crimson squad is the all-girls team of 32 members, and the cream squad is co-ed and made of 26 cheerleaders. Both teams hold three-hour practices three days a week. This is all on a voluntary basis. “One of the biggest pieces of information that everyone should understand is these kids are 100 percent volunteer,” IU Coach Julie Horine said. “They don’t get financial aid, books or their school paid for. These kids are extraordinarily dedicated and they love it.” An average day of practice for cheerleaders consists of practice set up, stretching, warm ups, tumbling, stunting, game practice, new skills and conditioning.

The crimson team’s practices start around 5:45 p.m., beginning with “cheer chat” in the locker room, where the team discusses its plans for the week. Then the team rolls out the mats and has a group dynamic stretch. Once the team stretches it lines up in four rows and practices tumbling, followed by a stunting warm up, which consists of seven fundamental stunts. From there the team practices all its game material such as stunts, pyramids and timeouts to ensure all the cheerleaders are in-sync with each other during the performance. Afterward, the team practices new skills before conditioning and stretching. For the Hoosiers this is all in preparation for the multiple games they attend and perform at, including volleyball, football, women’s basketball and men’s basketball. Horine said there’s no time to mess around during their practices. Since they practice three days instead of the whole week, the limited time forces them go into practice with focus. “Practices are pretty demanding,” Boe said. “We go in, we go to work and you have to be on your game. We need to be prepared for anything and we’re expected to perform at our highest level.” This high level requires a lot of dedication and sacrifice each week. Not only does the team go to games, but it also attends meetand-greets where it walks into the tailgating fields to talk to alumni and families to get them excited for the

upcoming game. Boe said things are different during homecoming. The team performs “spirit patrol,” where it marches up and down Kirkwood Avenue with the IU marching band each Friday before a football game. The cheerleaders also perform in the homecoming parade on Kirkwood Avenue with the goal to excite everyone for the football game. The dedication was what junior cheerleader Conner Montgomery said went unnoticed for him when he played high school football. Now as a cheerleader, he has a newfound appreciation for the sport and the dedication within it. “I never realized what cheerleaders go through,” Montgomery said. “I was blind to it. Blind to the amount of effort put into everything and how little was actually seen at games. When I played football I was aware of cheerleaders, but I had no idea what they were trying to do and people just glanced over them. The time they put in and the effort translates into what the fans see at every game.” What the fans saw at the Ohio State game was a full student section of more than 11,000 students who, at one point, detached the bleachers from the concrete and swung them overhead. It was an atmosphere Montgomery took personal pride in helping create. “Most football games people are just there to observe,” Montgomery said. “They’re not always trying to cheer. The Ohio State game had fans who where ready to do whatever to promote players the best they could.

We help to create that atmosphere for the fans that puts pressure on the visitors.” This is all a part of the “believe” motto IU cheer follows. The motto sets the standard for IU as it performs at every game where, Horine said, it whole-heartedly considers it a privilege to wear the IU logo. “I think the cheer program is 100 percent part of the game day experience,” Horine said. “They’re a part of pageantry. I’m a 100-percent believer that the crowd helps depict the finish of a game and they contribute to that. When 17,000 people yell with you, it feels like you are a part of something bigger than yourself.”

Excluding the crowd’s reaction, no matter what it is, Boe considers it to be their job to defend their teams and bring the positivity along with them. In the end, IU cheerleading wants to represent the University and what it truly means to be a Hoosier, Boe said. “I think the definition of a Hoosier is someone who is going to support and be involved in all aspects of Indiana University,” Boe said. “They’re fans who are there for the good, the bad and they keep a positive outlook. We realize this school has so much tradition and passion with the spirit of IU. It’s something bigger than us and it’s our job to carry on the tradi-

tion, take all the history and everything the school has to offer go out on the field and represent that.” During the fourth quarter of that mid-October day, the morale in the stands began to diminish as Ohio State pulled seven points ahead of IU. Even when some fans lost all hope, IU cheer continued its support and cheered on. “We’re going to be positive and defend our teams no matter what,” Boe said. “We need to bring that support and positivity to represent the University. We’re going to be the ones to stay positive and create that good vibe. We represent what every Hoosier fan is deep down, we’re just the ones wearing the uniform.”

Marching band cymbal section led by freshman By Nyssa Kruse nakruse@indiana.edu | @nyssakruse

As a freshman and someone who had never played cymbals before, Toby Smith seems like an odd choice for cymbal section leader. But when the Marching Hundred section found itself with a line of rookies and no leader this fall, Smith was chosen to take over. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibilities as section leader include leading practices for the cymbal players and keeping them on track. He also clarifies questions or confusion among players and helps polish their movements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on practicing parts and making them clean, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the guy who will stand out and watch and tell people what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing well but at the same time what they can improve on,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. Anastasia Williams is a senior on the cymbal line, but she played piccolo for the past three years. Because she is a returning member to Marching Hundred she said she sometimes helps Smith manage the section. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kind of been working together,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is the section leader, but I am the one with the experience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been kind of a team effort.â&#x20AC;? Williams said their roles in managing the section differ. She said he takes the reigns during practice, making sure they work on what they need to, whereas she works more on the logistics, such as getting everyone to practice on time and making sure their members are in the right place. Williams said the dynamic of their section differs from others because of the atypical leadership situation and because they are all new to line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely kind of

strange, since everyone is kind of coming from the same place,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like because of that, everybody feels a little more free to give their opinions about different things and work on building the section ... Even though he is the leader, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all there working towards the same goal.â&#x20AC;? Beginning his musical career in sixth grade, Smith started out on the tenor saxophone. After his first year, he moved to percussion and then began doing drum line in high school. His freshman year of high school he played the bass drum and for the last three years of high school he played the quad tenor drums. Only when Toby started at IU this fall did he start learning to play the cymbals. He said he enjoys the visual aspect of the cymbals most and the level of performance required because the instruments do not block playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faces, like trumpets and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attached to their bodies, like drums. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visually, we can have a lot more interaction with the audience,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That also means we have to project a lot more ... a cymbal player has to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting into it.â&#x20AC;? Toby intends to stay in Marching Hundred next year as a cymbal player and said he thinks he will be section leader again. Although he enjoys marching and music, a part of his enjoyment of Marching Hundred is the social aspect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 250 people in Hundred, so one thing I thought was really cool when I first got into it was thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s automatically 250 people on campus that I knew,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be a good way to start a conversation, and they could be another friend I could make.â&#x20AC;?

STEPHANIE MARTINELLI

ASHLEY MARTINEZ Henderson, NV Senior, entrepreneurship and corporate innovation, international business and marketing major

Hinsdale, IL Senior, elementary education major with a reading license addition

IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? MARTINEZ My roommate and best friend, Jessica Grimes, encouraged me to apply. A fellow Scholarship Advisory Committee member, Amyra Asamoah, had been on Homecoming Court last year and raved about the experience. For me, it’s an opportunity to give back to IU as a whole and thank the university for making me feel welcomed, respected, and appreciated for who I am.

IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? MARTINELLI I decided to apply to be on the Homecoming Court because I wanted a fun way to commemorate my four years at Indiana University. I believe that homecoming is such a wonderful way to recognize both the students who attend the university as well as our amazing alumni.

IDS What is your favorite Homecoming activity? MARTINEZ Paint the Town Crimson. I’ve always wanted

to paint the windows of store fronts. IDS What has been your most rewarding moment while at IU? MARTINEZ My sophomore year I had the privilege of being the keynote speaker at an incoming scholars luncheon. A majority of students I spoke to decided to accept their invitation to attend IU. Many are now my mentees and have gone on to win two National Diversity Case Competitions! Watching these students develop over time and knowing I was able to inspire them is by far my most rewarding moment at IU.

IDS What is your favorite Homecoming activity? MARTINELLI I believe that my favorite Homecoming activity will be going to the football game and cheering on the Hoosiers! I love the environment of game day and being surrounded by so many people that have

MAKAYLA JORDAN Indianapolis, IN Senior, neuroscience major with biology and French minors IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? JORDAN I applied to Homecoming Court for multiple reasons. First, this was something new that I have never done before. I just thought it was definitely worth a shot, especially considering I won’t have another chance to do this. Secondly, I truly love IU. I have had such a great and robust experience here. I feel like being Homecoming Queen is just a great way to truly sum up my time here and all of the things I have been involved in. IDS What is your favorite Homecoming activity? JORDAN Thus far, my favorite Homecoming activity has been the parade. It’s just a really fun time and it’s amazing to see the whole town become involved. Besides, the Marching 100 makes it even better. They

re-

the same pride and spirit for IU that I do. IDS What has been your most rewarding moment while at IU? MARTINELLI My most rewarding moment that I have had at Indiana University occurred this summer when I was working as an Orientation Leader. There were multiple occurrences throughout the summer when I had students approach me and tell me that I was their tour guide for their Admissions tour and I was a huge reason for why they wanted to come to Indiana University. It is so rewarding to know that I had a positive impact on a student’s decision to attend the University.

NATALIE SPAARGAREN

make me reminisce on my days of marching band in high school! However, I’ve yet to do the Nearly Naked Mile and am really hoping to cross that one off my list.

Granger, IN Senior, finance and international business major and French minor IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? SPAARGAREN As an underclassmen, I saw some of my mentors become a part of the Homecoming Court. I thought they embodied the spirit of a leader at IU through their passions for giving back and mentoring others. I am humbled to be a part of the Homecoming Court, and give a small part back to the school I love, by serving as a mentor and role model to others.

IDS What has been your most rewarding moment while at IU? JORDAN This summer, I decided to begin pursuing my undergraduate honors thesis. As a result, I spent much of my summer in Bloomington starting my research project so that I wouldn’t be behind once school started up again. While I accomplished a lot over the summer, I know that I still have a long ways to go. However, I am truly excited to see where this is going to go! My work has a lot of implications for how stress affects the brain, particularly in cases of Depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

IDS What is your favorite Homecoming activity? SPAARGAREN Definitely the Nearly Naked Mile. It’s

a fun event full of energy. IDS What has been your favorite IU memory? SPAARGAREN One of my favorite memories was spending a semester abroad in Rouen, France. I had the opportunity to travel around Europe and improve my French language skills. It was an unforgettable experience. IDS What has been your most rewarding moment while at IU? SPAARGAREN Meeting many of my best friends and roommates on my freshman year floor. I’m lucky to live with ten of them this year!

ANDREW GUENTHER

SAHAND EMAMIAN

Valparaiso, IN Junior, law & public policy major with a certificate in political & civic engagement and a minor in political science IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? GUENTHER I served on Homecoming Court last year and had an amazing experience. As the only student on the Court who was not a senior, it was amazing to celebrate how much I love IU with thousands of students, parents, alumni, faculty, and staff. IDS What is your favorite

Homecoming activity? GUENTHER My favorite activities last year were the Homecoming Parade and, of course, the game itself. The Parade brings together the Bloomington community and students to get everyone excited and pumped for the upcoming game. IDS What has been your most rewarding moment while at IU? GUENTHER The most

rewarding moments I have experienced have been the ones where I know I have made a change to better this institution. Primarily, I would point towards the passage and implementation of a “preferred name policy” that I sponsored that would allow students, staff and faculty to use their preferred name on their student ID. This way, international and transgender students can use the name that they feel most comfortable with.

PATRICK HOLBROOK Bloomington, IN Senior, economic consulting and public policy analysis major IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? HOLBROOK I was involved with planning Homecoming my sophomore year and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my college career. It’s amazing to see students and alumni come together underneath a passion for IU, and I wanted to be a more direct part of that. IDS What is your favorite Homecoming activity?

HOLBROOK I have always loved the Homecoming Parade. It’s so cool to see the different student and community organizations come together, and being a lifetime fan of IU athletics, I love that it culminates in a pep rally for the football team. IDS What has been your favorite IU memory? HOLBROOK Standing in line for General Admission seating to watch the IU basketball

team beat #1 ranked Michigan my freshman year. IDS What has been your most rewarding moment while at IU? HOLBROOK Facilitating my first Step UP IU bystander intervention training and having the opportunity to work with students and educate them on the specific ways they can prevent their peers from falling into dangerous situations.

OWEN HOEPFNER Mount Prospect, IL Senior, economic consulting and public policy analysis major and geography minor IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? HOEPFNER I applied to be on the Homecoming Court because it seemed like the most quintessential senior thing to do. Most of my college experiences have occurred within smaller communities, whether it be in Kelley or in one of my organizations, but being on the Court encompasses all the best that IU has to offer – amazing school

spirit, an involved alumni network, our unique Bloomington community, and philanthropy. IDS What is your favorite Homecoming activity? HOEPFNER I have planned on running the Nearly Naked Mile multiple times but have bailed at the last second due to poor weather or other obligations. This year I hope to run in it and enjoy myself.

I have not figured out what I am going to wear yet, though. IDS What has been your favorite IU memory? HOEPFNER Within a 12-hour time frame my junior year, I performed in my first improv show with Awkward Silence Comedy, celebrated with friends, got a little sleep and then gave a final presentation for a brutal 8-week course.

Fort Wayne, IN Senior, physics major with minors in linguistics, mathematics and chemistry IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? EMAMIAN I applied to the court to continue representing Indiana University positively, now more to alumni than to incoming students, and to help fund about 2% of a semester of med school. IDS What is your favorite Homecoming activity? EMAMIAN The parade! Seeing student groups show their pride is what I love about IU. IDS What has been your favorite IU memory? EMAMIAN Although it’s hard to choose, it would probably be my trip to China and Korea with IU2U. Seeing the world and helping out students-- two of my favorite things!

IDS What has been your most rewarding moment while at IU? EMAMIAN The most rewarding thing has been seeing the residents I helped as an RA and the Orientation Leaders I have trained become leaders in their own right.

ANDREW BRADEN Elkhart, IN Senior, policy analysis major with theater political science and economics minors IDS Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? BRADEN I applied to be on Homecoming Court because I have had several friends go through the process and it seemed like a new and exciting experience for my last year of undergrad at IU. Plus, the glory will last forever. IDS What is your favorite Homecoming activity? BRADEN My favorite Homecoming activity will be the Nearly Naked Mile. I did it my freshman year and was separated from my friends, running a disappointing, sad mile in solitude. If I run this year, my goal is to not be abandoned by my “friends” and to make some

memories! IDS What has been your favorite IU memory? BRADEN My favorite IU memory was performing in my first improv comedy show. The support and love all of my friends provided was unforgettable.

MOHAMMAD ISSA Carmel, IN Senior, chemistry major and biology and Spanish minors with a certificate in the Liberal Arts and Management Program IDS: Why did you apply to be on Homecoming Court? ISSA: It’s senior year. I figured I should do it big, nothing bigger than Homecoming Court at Indiana University. Plus, I wanted to prove the doubters, mainly Andy Braden, Sahand Emamian and my parents, wrong.

IDS: What is your favorite Homecoming activity? ISSA: Definitely the Nearly Naked Mile, I love showing off what I got...on the race course that is. I am currently training for a marathon so the Run Club better be watching out for me. We may have the first ever double of Homecoming King and Nearly Naked Mile winner.

IDS: What has been your favorite IU memory? ISSA: Obviously when we beat #1 Kentucky and stormed the court! Just kidding, I was still in high school. I would say my last day of the summer program as an Orientation Leader was my favorite memory. It was an amazing summer working with some of the best people I have ever

met, and it was capped off with a small, but awesome group of incoming freshman who I hope have enjoyed their IU experience as much as I enjoyed that day. Additionally, Last spring, our executive board for Youth Advocating Leadership and Learning, or Y’ALL received the Dean McKaig Legacy Award by the Student Life and Learning Office which is the

most prestigious award they give to student organizations. Y’ALL is a service organization that makes two trips to New Orleans every year to assist with disaster relief, and we had to cancel our 2014 Spring Break Trip because of a lack of interest. So, to go from canceling a trip to two very successful trips and the McKaig Legacy Award just one year later was very special.

Homecoming bucket list By Feyi Alufohai omoalufo@indiana.edu

Homecoming weekend. A weekend when Hoosier spirit is at an all time high, strangers smile to one another, the excitement fills the campus and radiates from Hoosier to Hoosier. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun-filled and eventpacked weekend. Here are some things every Hoosier shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss.

IDS FILE PHOTO

HOOSIERS COME HOME Members of the 50 Year I-Men smile and wave as the crowd cheers for them at the homecoming parade Friday, Oct. 17, 2014. More than 100 alumni will return to campus for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homecoming celebration.

IU alumnus returns to campus By Alexis Daily aledaily@indiana.edu | @AlexDaily1

More than 100 IU alumni will return to campus this week to celebrate and participate in homecoming activities. Among them is senior judge on the Indiana Court of Appeals Ezra Friedlander. Friedlander attended IU as an undergraduate from 1958-62. He majored in history and minored in government. He said he spent the first two years as a pre-med major before switching. He attended the Maurer School of Law from 1962-65. Friedlander is a member of the law schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy of Law Alumni Fellows, the highest honor the school can bestow upon its graduates, and previously served as the president of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alumni Board. This weekend, he will be

honored with the Distinguished Alumni Service Award, IUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest accolade for alumni. Indiana Daily Student: What were you involved in on campus during your time at IU? Friedlander: I was president of the student bar society during law school. During my time as an undergrad, I was a member of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity and was a manager of the basketball team my freshman year. I sold programs at the football games and played intramural football and basketball. One year, we actually won the football campus championship. IDS: What was one of your favorite memories at IU? Friedlander: I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a specific memory, but my favorite thing was the people I met during my seven years there. They are the people

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still close with today, and they remind me of the memories I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember. IDS: Following graduation from IU, what have you gone on to do? Friedlander: I practiced law in Gary where an IU trustee also practiced. I moved to Indianapolis, where I practiced law for 27 years at a number of firms. I was appointed to the Indiana Court of Appeals 22 1/2 years ago and retired last month. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a senior judge on the court, which basically means I work part time. IDS: What are you planning on doing in Bloomington during Homecoming? Friedlander: I plan on doing everything. There are events related to the Distinguished Alumni Service Award, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also my 50th law school class reunion. So Friday Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in the homecoming parade, Saturday Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll attend

the reunion luncheon and, of course, go to the football game before Ezra going Friedlander to another reunion event that night. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a season ticket holder for IU football and basketball for a number of years. IDS: So as a supporter of IU programs for quite some time, what does it mean to you to receive this award? Friedlander: I have a number of scholarships for athletics, law and the history department, as well as endowed a scholarship at the law school. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always valued education and everything I learned at IU and all the university did for me. I hope that I can return the favor and help students in the same ways I was helped when I was a student here.

Relive your campus Along with the general vibe, the physical appearance of the campus changes during homecoming weekend. Take a walk around campus, specifically to the Sample Gates. Many alumni visit IU during this time. Take a walk down memory lane. Admire the cream and crimson. Inhale the Hoosier air and take pride in IU. Hit the bars This option is limited to the 21-plus crowd, but the bar scene is always the go-to choice for a Friday night outing. Get a good group of friends and go bar crawling. Meet some new people and expand the group with each bar you go to. The best stories almost always start in a bar.

The homecoming court will be presented and the king and queen will be announced. The atmosphere is thrilling and contagious. Tailgate This is the charging up and refueling before the game. A time of relaxing and hanging out with your Hoosier family. Tailgating is eating good food with great company. Something fun and unexpected is always happening around you. People park outside the stadium, bring out their best burgers or hotdogs and jam out to music. The game This year IU will play Rutgers and the game is the tipping point of the weekend. Everything has been a build up to that moment and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss it. From the tempo of the band to the roar of the crowd, all the way to the players on the field, Hoosier spirit will be booming. Regardless of the scoreboard, when Hoosiers gather together itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bound to be an exciting night.

Homecoming parade The twirls from the dancers, the rhythm of the band, the high kicks from the cheerleaders and the cheers from the crowd. A part of homecoming weekend is the parade, which welcomes our alumni home. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a display of Hoosier pride at its finest. The parade showcases the various organizations on campus and the wonderful talent of our band and cheerleaders.
