IU mascots are ever-changing, still not yet settled

By Hannah Reed hanreed@umail.iu.edu @hannahreed13

What is a Hoosier? A quick search on Google says that a Hoosier is a “native or inhabitant of Indiana,” but it means more than that to IU, although the school hasn’t quite figured out how to represent it yet.

IU has been through several mascots. In the 1920s, a Hoosier was a navy billy goat. In the ’30s, it was a collie dog. In the late ’50s, it was a bulldog, and in 1958, it was Theta Chi’s bulldog, Ox. In October of 1965, a unanimous decision by the student senate elected a bison to be IU’s new mascot, inspired by the bison on the state seal of Indiana.

The bison managed to be the most successful and longest-running Hoosier depiction, though it did not hold on until present day.

IU students originally wanted a live bison to run around on the field, but purchasing a bison is expensive and the state wasn’t willing to fund it.

So the students settled on a costume.

Unfortunately, though realistic and detailed, the 1967 bison costume had a very poor design.

The students who were inside the costume didn’t have holes for their arms, and the bison only had two front legs. The back legs were missing, and the bison body cut in half created a gruesome, slaughterhouse effect.

“Probably because it was such a problem to wear it, people just didn’t want to do it,” James Capshew, IU historian and 1979 alumnus, said in an interview. “You have to get somebody to do it. If it’s nasty and not very comfortable, you couldn’t get a volunteer.”

In a message to the athletic director in 1967, Phillip J. Badell, a Varsity Club Chairman, detailed his distaste for the bison costume.

“For several years now, I have silently suffered untold agony while watching our “Half-a-Bison” at our home football games,” Badell wrote.

“It was plausible, when we had what some called “Half-a-Football-Team,” that we should have “Half-a-Bison” and this wasn’t too bad. Now, it appears we have a whole football team and we now need a complete, whole, 100 percent bison.”

According to a 1969 IDS article, IU reached out to Walt Disney for help with the costume. Disney, busy and unable to help design it himself, recommended a Los Angeles firm responsible for bringing many of his movie characters to life. The suit cost $1,400, which was more than a live bison would have at the time.

Though expensive, the costume had many downfalls. Cheerleaders and students wearing the costume were unable to see through the mask.

They needed assistance to get around on the field and were led by cheerleaders holding a rope like a leash, according to the journal, “The Rise and Fall of Campus Mascots at Indiana University” by Jennifer Nailos.

Dave Thompson, a student who wore the costume, said in a 1967 IDS article that the bison costume held in a lot of heat, and that he had to hold

his head in a specific position for the mask, making the job painful.

His greatest fear was tripping in the costume, and the only opening for the students in the costume to see out of were holes in the nostrils of the bison’s face.

Between the costumed students stumbling around the fields and many debates between the students and the administration, the bison was laid to rest as IU’s mascot in 1969.

The next attempt at a mascot was in 1979, introducing a man with a red beard and a large cowboy hat called Mr. Hoosier Pride. Many people took offense to it, including some IU students who voiced their negative opinions.

“Mr. Hoosier Pride is the most asinine and ridiculous-looking 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. “Last fall, the Daily Student reported that the character was created because IU had no mascot or symbol to represent it. That’s not true. Even during the time I have been at IU, a bison served as the symbol to the Hoosiers.”

“We have a tradition of not having a mascot.”

James Capshew, IU historian

Mr. Hoosier Pride was retired after one football season, but the bison had made a lasting impression and still had one hoof in the door. In 1980 the Herald-Times, then known as the Herald-Telephone, reported that some people argued to bring the bison back.

“My son suggested we just revert back to the bison,” reader Karen Johnston wrote. “After all, its picture has already appeared on the hundreds of IU memento and souvenir items in past years. It was always a healthy-appearing ‘winner.’”

“No need to be without a mascot,” wrote reader Harry Orchard. “You have one already. The American Bison.”

But it wasn’t just the readers of the Herald-Times who wanted the bison back — there were articles in the IDS about bringing the animal back as well.

“Even though our teams are the ‘Hoosiers’ and not the ‘Bisons,’ a Big Red Bison would be a tremendous improvement over Mr. Hoosier Pride,” classical studies assistant professor Betty Rose Nagle wrote in 1980.

In a 2011 Indianapolis Star article, IU Athletics Director Fred Glass said he still receives support to bring back the bison. However, despite the pleas to bring back the bison, both the suit and idea were laid to rest, as was the big IU mascot debate.

“We have a tradition of not having a mascot,” Capshew said. “We have a lot of pride in our school and our athletic teams and things like that, and these mascots are about focusing that pride and that spirit. We haven’t had it for 37 or 38 years, why do we need it?”

The Village Deli on Kirkwood Avenue is expecting a rush of customers this Homecoming weekend.

Village Deli prepares for Homecoming

By Hannah Reed hanreed@umail.iu.edu @hannahreed13

Servers walk from the kitchen to the tables and back again in the Village Deli, sporting colorful Tshirts and trays full of pancakes and drinks.

Located on Kirkwood Avenue, the Deli opens at 7 a.m. during the week and 8 a.m. on weekends and is always open until 6 p.m. Students, parents and Bloomington locals crowd their way through the double doors of the restaurant for breakfast and lunch and, most often, brunch.

Homecoming weekend is one of the busiest weekends in town and on campus. It brings parents and students alike out onto the streets of Bloomington, and walking down Kirkwood is a classic Homecoming activity. So is stopping in to eat at the Deli,

manager Thomas Jack “TJ” Ruzga said.

“The Village Deli has always been a Bloomington staple, especially for parents weekend,” Ruzga said.

“When parents come down, this is one of the places they like to visit.”

The number of servers at the Deli doubled during busy times like Homecoming weekend in comparison to the slow summer months, Ruzga said. Quick service is one of the Deli’s specialties, and when they get extremely busy, they still offer their full menu, but servers will recommend quick dishes for people who are on a time crunch.

“Generally we tell customers that anything with eggs comes out faster, rather than pancakes and French toast which take a little bit longer,” Ruzga said.

The pancakes at the Deli are made from scratch ac-

cording to the Deli’s website, and long-time server Jared Cleaver said they’re one of the things that pleasantly surprise people from out of town.

The pancakes fill the entire plate on which they are served and can be made with up to three toppings from the list on their menu.

So although the servers let people know that other dishes will be ready to eat faster, people are always willing to wait for the colossal cakes.

During busy weekends like Homecoming, there’s not much the servers can do to get themselves prepared other than acknowledging that they’re going to be busy.

“I just make sure to wear IU gear because that’s always fun, and I feel like the parents really appreciate that,” server Addison Rump said.

Cleaver, who has been serving at the Village Deli for seven years, said he doesn’t believe there’s a typical day at the deli in terms of the people that walk through the doors of the restaurant.

“Every customer we get is different, and every experience is different,” Cleaver said. “I would say the only thing that is different between a regular weekend and, say, Homecoming weekend, is that it is exponentially busier.”

So, when looking for a place to drink coffee and eat huge pancakes, the Deli may be the spot. Getting there early may help, but the servers and management all said that big weekends are busy from the second the door is unlocked. They say it’s worth the wait, though.

“Have you actually been to Bloomington if you haven’t taken a trip to the Village Deli?” Cleaver said.

IU cheerleaders at the 2016 Homecoming parade. The Cream and Crimson teams are preparing for this year’s Homecoming.

Cheerleaders focus on embodying Hoosier spirit

By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford

Matt Coffman, a senior cheerleader, is already planning to come back to Bloomington next fall for Homecoming.

He remembers his sophomore year at IU when two of of his friends on IU’s Crimson all-girl cheerleading team returned after graduating the previous year. They stayed at his house and made him even more excited for when

he could “come home to IU” after graduating.

“It’s always fun to see how the campus comes alive with all the traditions we’re passionate about,” Coffman said.

Coffman said IU’s cheerleading teams try to deliver the best experience at every event they attend, and Homecoming is no different.

Both the Cream squad, which is co-ed, and the Crimson team cheer during football games and try to hype up the crowd.

Even though the teams’

preparation doesn’t change much in the week before the Homecoming parade and game, Coffman said it’s even more important during this week to deliver the spirit of IU to the fans and alumni.

IU cheerleading Coach Julie Horine said the teams remain consistent in the amount of preparation they put into each game.

“We’re like the football team,” she said. “You get out there, you do what you have to do, and our goal is to get them to win.”

Senior Alaina Delgado grew up in Naperville, Illinois, and said she did not know a lot about Bloomington before coming here. During her first Homecoming week, she said she enjoyed seeing everyone come together at the parade.

“It was really cool to feel like you were part of a family your freshman year,” she said.

Delgado took a year off from cheerleading during her junior year before returning this year to join the Crimson team as a senior.

In her year off, she got to

attend her first tailgates while not in uniform and experience Homecoming as a regular student.

She said both as a student and a cheerleader, the Homecoming week atmosphere is unreal because everyone is so friendly and involved in Hoosier spirit.

During Homecoming week, the cheerleaders are scheduled to appear at different events. They walk in the Homecoming parade on FriSEE CHEER, PAGE 7

» CHEER

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 day and participate in the game on Saturday.

The cheerleading teams will arrive Saturday three hours before kickoff. They will be part of “The Walk” with the IU football team and will make an appearance at the IU Alumni Association building, as well as other tailgates.

The teams have their own tailgate for friends and family, too. For this year’s game, the teams have been working on new stunts and structures to show off in the stadium.

At the beginning of the year, before an earlier IU football game was canceled and a new game scheduled for last Saturday, the Homecoming game was planned as the only IU football game in Bloomington in October.

Because of this, the game was used as a benchmark for the teams to show off new stunts and structures.

More than anything, though, Horine said she wants her cheerleaders to embody the spirit and tradition of IU athletics for others and for themselves.

“I don’t want them to come here just to cheer,” Horine said. “I want them to come to cheer, but I want them to come and cheer, and I want them to want to be a Hoosier.”

Sophomore quarterback Peyton Ramsey throws the ball toward the goal line during the first quarter of the game against Charleston Southern on Oct. 7. Ramsey will make his second career collegiate start for IU this Saturday against No. 17 Michigan.

IU eager to end Homecoming losing streak Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@indiana.edu | @cdrummond97

The annual Homecoming game hasn’t been kind to IU in recent years.

For the past seven seasons, including 2017, the Hoosiers had to face a Big Ten Conference opponent on Homecoming. Those last six Homecoming games against conference foes have all been losses for IU. The losses have come in all shapes and forms. Blowout de-

feats like a 56-17 beating by Michigan State in 2014 have come alongside closer losses, like a heartbreaking 55-52 defeat to Rutgers in 2015.

Last year’s Homecoming game saw the Hoosiers play competitively against then-No. 10 Nebraska, before ultimately losing 27-22.

“We’re close to playing good football,” then-IU Coach Kevin Wilson said after the loss. “We’re competing, but we’re not playing good football yet.”

A lot has changed since last year’s Homecoming game.

Changes have come at both head coach, with Wilson replaced by Tom Allen, and at quarterback, as freshman Peyton Ramsey took over the starting job from Richard Lagow just a week ago.

Ramsey was able to ease into his new role with a three-touchdown performance this past Saturday in a 27-0 win against FCS opponent Georgia Southern.

“I felt like I did good,” Ramsey

said. “It was a huge confidence boost to go out and get a win.”

But No. 17 Michigan will pose a much more difficult challenge for Ramsey and his IU teammates. The Wolverines, fresh off a 14-10 home loss to rival Michigan State, will be eager to impress after falling 10 spots in the newest Associated Press Poll.

The occasion will also mark Ramsey’s first start against a conference team.

IU cheerleaders cheer during “The Walk” prior to IU’s football game against Georgia Southern on Sept. 23. “The Walk” is one of the top game day traditions enjoyed by IU football fans.

Game day traditions to remember during Homecoming

By Cameron Drummond and Andrew Hussey cpdrummo@indiana.edu @cdrummond97 aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork

Hep’s Rock IU football’s signature tradition carries a lot of symbolism. Former IU Coach Terry Hoeppner discovered a limestone boulder on one of IU’s practice fields during his first season as head coach in 2005.

Hoeppner had the boulder moved to behind the north end zone of Memorial

Stadium, where it still resides today.

The rock was an object each IU player would touch before entering the playing field.

Hoeppner told the team it symbolized the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, as opposing teams would “do hard time in the rock” when they came to Bloomington.

Hoeppner died from a brain tumor in June 2007, and the rock, now known as “Hep’s Rock,” serves as a memorial to him.

The rock will always have a special place with the IU program because anything tapping into emotion and legacy of the football team makes for a distinctive tradition.

Raise The Flag After each IU victory, a giant IU flag is raised above Memorial Stadium to proclaim to all of Bloomington a Hoosier victory occurred. The crimson flag is massive and can be seen from far away on campus.

What’s better than seeing the flag as a giant signal that

IU has won, especially after a big victory? “Raise the flag” also doubles as a motivational slogan used by the football program.

The Walk Almost every college football team around the country has a version of “The Walk,” but IU’s remains a special tradition for its fans nonetheless.

Just over two hours before each home football game, IU’s players and coaches will make a pregame walk into Memorial Stadium, giving fans a chance to gather around them and

show their support.

The Marching Hundred and IU cheerleaders are also present at “The Walk” and lead fans in the signing of “Indiana, Our Indiana” and “Indiana Fight.”

The Fight Song Following every IU touchdown, a rendition of the school fight song is belted out around Memorial Stadium.

It’s a way to spark passion and pride into the IU fanbase, uniting fans across multiple generations.

The fists and blades at the end of the song help

distinguish it from others as well.

Postgame Team Song It may be a new tradition under IU Coach Tom Allen, but it has quickly become a fan-favorite.

Following each IU win so far this season, the coaches and players have gathered together in the IU locker room to sing a rendition of “Indiana, Our Indiana.”

The sing-a-longs have been posted online on the IU football team’s Twitter page, and have proved to be a hit with fans.

Switch up your school spirit wear this Homecoming

By Noelle Snider nmsnider@umail.iu.edu @snider_noelle

Game day rolls around, and it’s time to get ready to represent your favorite school. You grab sneakers that have the dirt stains to show your dedication to the day, throw on your candystriped overalls and you’re ready to tailgate.

While I love this classic look as much as the next Hoosier, throwing something on that represents your own personal style is even better. Step up your IU pride and wear something extraordinary and different than the rest. This homecoming, try something different with these four spirit wear ideas.

Accessorize your hair Sometimes wearing four different articles of clothing with IU emblazoned on the fabric can be a little overwhelming. If you are someone who likes to subtly show your school pride, try spicing up your hairdo instead. A cream and crimson headband, bow, ribbon or scrunchie can be found at almost any store on Kirkwood Avenue.

Dress it up Dressing up for games needs to become more of a tradition. I love putting on a bright red skirt with a dressy white top for games, because whenever you wear the IU logo and colors you are representing our school. Dressing up can show passion and pride for our colors.

In the fall, pair a crimson dress with a jean jacket and some booties and you’ll rock the stadium. When Thanksgiving rolls around and it starts to snow, wear a large sweater dress paired

with leggings and boots and you’ll be cozy and cute at the same time.

Shoes Whether you choose a shiny pair of boots or dirty canvas kicks, you can support your school through footwear as well.

Converse sneakers and boots are perfect for tailgating and football games because they are rugged and easy to clean.

Boots are made for the rain and cold, and muddy Converse can be thrown straight into the wash and be as good as new.

Converse are offered in a rainbow of different colors, are customizable and also have a pair with IU’s logo already on it. A fun pair of red boots would make a loud and proud statement, but if you have neutral colored ones there are still ways to have them represent IU. Make them schoolthemed by threading a cream and crimson striped ribbon through the laces, wrapping the shoes in ribbons, or wearing a pair of knee-high IU socks.

Watch these IU movies before Homecoming weekend With IU Homecoming around the corner, it’s time to turn on some classic Indiana movies to get into the Hoosier spirit. Here are some picks from the Media School faculty, staff and students.

“Breaking Away” If any two things could define Bloomington, it would be cycling and limestone. This 1979 classic reveals the dichotomy between town residents and University students in Bloomington through the lens of the classic bicycle race, the Little 500. A group of 19-yearold “townies” race in the Little 500 against IU students who belittle them for being “cutters,” a term for people who work in southern Indiana’s limestone industry.

Pallavi Rao, a doctoral student in the Media School, watched “Breaking Away” for the first time in a class called “Seeing Whiteness,” she said.

Rao said the movie was interesting to her because it depicted characters who were responsible for the labor that built IU but couldn’t afford an education at the University.

Rao said the class difference portrayed in the movie was evident to her when she rode the three bus to the west side of town.

“It’s a very different type of American life,” Rao said. “It’s not wealthy college-going kids with their own cars who are able to party all night Thursday and Friday. That’s not what west-side Bloomington is about.”

Another reason Rao said she liked “Breaking Away” was because of its Bollywood remake called “Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.” The movie portrayed class differences in India, which Rao said she thought paralleled class differences in Indiana.

Hollywood or Bollywood, “Breaking Away” is a comingof-age classic that every visitor in Indiana should watch.

Hoosiers” “Hoosiers” is just an “Indi-

ana thing.”

Marilyn Behrman, undergraduate administrative services coordinator at the Media School, said the movie represents not just IU but all of Indiana and “the idea that high school basketball is a thing for all Hoosiers.”

Behrman saw the Bloomington premiere of the movie at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, which was then the Indiana Theater. The town premiere was organized because native Hoosiers Angelo Pizzo and David Anspaugh were the screenwriter and director, Behrman said.

A native of Tipton County, Indiana, Behrman said she noticed a mistake during a scene in which the basketball coach and a teacher are outside during either sectional or championship season.

“They’re standing in front of a farm field, and there’s still corn standing in the field that should have been harvested in the fall,” Behrman said. “To me, that’s one little mistake that some people wouldn’t even think about, but I’m a farm girl.”

“Kinsey” When sexologist Dr. Alfred Kinsey formed the Institute for Sex Research, now the Kinsey Institute, in 1947, he started what is now called a “sexual revolution.” The 2004 movie is the story of Kinsey’s struggle to break through social norms with his research on human sexuality.

Kristin Martindale, assistant to the associate dean of the Media School, said the movie excelled in portraying the support of Herman B Wells, a former president of IU. Martindale said Wells was one of the very few people who could embody IU and that portraying his support for Kinsey was the right way to tell this story.

“It was not everybody here that was being supportive,” Martindale said. “He had to fight for it, too ... I don’t think anything like that is super smooth sailing anywhere when it starts out.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 “Big Ten play is not easy, so I think it was good to play a team like Charleston Southern,” Ramsey said. “It was good to try some things and get a game under my belt.”

Saturday’s meeting between the Hoosiers and Wolverines carries a litany of historical implications, as well.

Michigan owns a 56-9 alltime record against IU.

It’s been 30 years since IU beat Michigan, and the Hoosiers have lost 21 straight games in the series.

Then there’s IU’s recent run of form on Homecoming at Memorial Stadium, where IU last won a conference Homecoming game in 2009.

Michigan’s visit allows IU to change the narrative around these issues.

Last week’s win over Charleston Southern wasn’t anything special for IU, but it may have helped plant the seeds for a big performance

against Michigan.

Furthermore, Saturday is an opportunity for Allen and Ramsey to begin their tenures at IU with a signature win, something IU hasn’t had in a long time.

“Always want to take every win and enjoy it and realize that it takes a lot of work to get those,” Allen said. “It was a team we were supposed to beat, and we did, and so we just realize what we have and watch the film tomorrow and get ready for the Wolverines.”
