Students display their school spirit during the annual Welcome Week event "Traditions and Spirits of IU" held at Memorial Stadium.

EDITOR’S NOTE

F Caitlin Peterkin, Special Publications Editor

our years ago, I waved goodbye as my parents pulled away from my dorm after helping me move in. I remember feeling butterflies thinking about living with my roommate whom I just met, the first day of classes, making smart decisions at parties.

I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to stop worrying.

I wish I could have known that I would meet lifelong friends, make lifelong memories, have life-changing experiences. I wish I had someone telling me what to expect for the next four years.

RON JOHNSON Student Media Director

That is what we hope to accomplish with this publication. From where to eat to where to study, The Orienter outlines helpful information and tips we would’ve like to have known as freshmen. So read through and soak in the knowledge.

But first, some parting words of wisdom: Go to class. Attend a basketball game. Don’t swing your lanyard. Keep your dorm door open.

Finally, enjoy it — these next four years are what you make of it, and where you truly find yourself.

Oh, and one more tip: Don’t laugh at cliches. hey exist for a reason.

LEARN THE WORDS 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 faulter In the battle, we’re tried and true.

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

Campus landmarks add to Hoosier history

BY NICOLE MONTELLA | nmontell@indiana.edu

DUNN FAMILY CEMETERIES Where Adjacent to Beck Chapel and in front of Foster Residence Center The legend When IU bought the land from the Dunn family there were three stipulations. Their family plots could not be moved, which is why there are two cemeteries on campus. There are no live burials anymore, and most of the plots are recognizable IU names.

The second stipulation was that for every tree IU cut down to construct a building, one had to be planted in its place. Herman B Wells later said for every tree cut down, two trees must be replanted.

The final stipulation was that IU could not move the Dunn family’s “Sweetheart Tree,” which currently stands inside the chemistry building.

“All IU landmarks are terrific because they are our most direct connection to the Hoosiers that have come before us. They remind us that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves.”

Ryan Short, 2011 IU grad

THE ROSE WELL HOUSE

BRYAN HOUSE

Where In Old Crescent, near Wylie and Owen halls and Dunn Woods

Where Next to Ballantine Hall, behind Delta Gamma

The legend Built in 1908, the Rose Well House was originally part of the old College Building. Legend states that an IU female is not an official co-ed until she is kissed under the house for the twelve strokes of midnight. Another myth is that a couple will be together forever if they kiss under the twelve strokes of midnight on Valentine’s Day.

The legend The Bryan House is typically the home of IU’s president.

President Michael McRobbie and his wife, Laurie Burns McRobbie, use the house as an office. A house cat, Hermie, is known to be a protector of the grounds.

The Bryan House also hosts a reception for incoming freshmen and outgoing seniors to talk to the administration about their IU life. The landscape around the house reflects the theme of the president at the time. President McRobbie’s theme is sustainability.

HERMAN B WELLS STATUE

SHOWALTER FOUNTAIN

Where Sitting on a bench on the west side of campus, near the Sample Gates

Where In the Fine Arts Plaza, in front of the IU Auditorium and between the Lilly Library and School of Fine Arts

The legend Herman B Wells was one of the greatest presidents in IU’s history. At freshmen orientation, parents are told if they shake Wells’ outstretched hand, their student will graduate in four years.

Because the sculptor was a University of Minnesota grad, under the brim of Wells’ hat is inscribed “Go Gophers.”

The legend The fountain depicts the Birth of Venus. On the night of IU’s last NCAA championship in 1987, students came to celebrate at Showalter Fountain and stole all of the fish that surround her.

Four of the original fish were found, and although another one was recast in spring 2011, the fifth original fish continues to elude the IU administration.

IDS FILE PHOTO

The sun sets above Showalter fountain. The statue is a representation of the birth of the Greek goddess Venus.

BECK CHAPEL Where Across from Ballantine Hall and the Chemistry Building The legend Completed in 1956, Beck Chapel is IU’s nondenominational chapel on campus.

It holds copies of the Bible, Quran and Torah, and is open 24/7 during finals week.

Many IU sweethearts marry inside, but the wait list is one year, according to Allison Williams, reservationist at the chapel.

Beck Chapel sits between Ballantine Hall and the Indiana Memorial Union. The non-denominational chapel is a popular place for IU alumni weddings.

GET LOST

BY HANNAH WALTZ hanwaltz@indiana.edu

The Indiana Memorial Union can seem like a labyrinth, but there’s much more mystery and history riddled within its walls than its confusing passageways.

The next time you’re standing in line at Starbucks, consider that about 50 years ago, you would have been ordering from the Biddle Hotel’s front desk. Or the next time you’re by the “Fire of Hospitality” in the South Lounge, think about how it’s been burning since 1939.

The Union is full of secrets, and Thomas Simmons, IMU associate director, is one of its keepers. These are just a few of them.

1. KP WILLIAMS DINING ROOM Named for the distinguished mathematics professor and founder of IU’s formal ROTC program, the Kenneth Powers Williams Dining Room is nestled within the Union’s third floor. Because it is so tiny and compact, the room’s antique table seats only 10 guests.

Orienter 2012

The IMU houses more than cozy chairs

2. FEDERAL ROOM Hidden behind a nondescript, closed door is the Federal Room, an ornate colonial dining room and parlor. Instead of wallpaper, the parlor is lined with woodblock prints of French origin that depict early scenes of American history. On the wall hangs the “Unfinished Portrait.”

It is a painting of Mary Burnet, who is known for her contributions to the art movement in Indiana during the early 1900’s, Simmons said. She received an honorary master’s degree from IU in 1933.

3. THE BURIED RIFLE RANGE Directly beneath Dunn Meadow Café is the now dormant rifle range of the IMU, complete with a gun vault and targets. It was formerly used by students, especially those in the ROTC. 4. ALUMNI HALL DRESSING ROOMS In the 1930s and ‘40s, this home to IU’s theatrical performances.

The stage in Alumni Hall is just the front door to the maze of outdated

6. THE STUDENT ACTIVITIES TOWER, EIGHTH FLOOR The eighth floor of the Student Activities Tower, the summit of the Union only accessible via stairs, is home to the Fletchall Room and the Bryan Room. The Union Board used to conduct meetings in the Fletchall Room in the 1930s, but they can now be rented out to any student organization willing to make the trek.

dressing rooms and neglected stairwells.

5. MEMORIAL ROOM The room outside Starbucks, which many students surely mistake for a chapel, hosts the two oldest artifacts in the building: two stained glass windows, one of which dates back to 1920 and was donated from Hoosier novelist Booth Tarkington’s home. At the heart of the Memorial Room is the Golden Book that records the names of the men and women of IU who served in the wars of the Republic.

DORM DINING As a freshman with a meal plan, you’ve got tons of options — some are just down the hall. Still, the closest RPS food court only holds its allure for so long. So start off the year in an adventurous fashion. Break out of your neighborhood’s eateries and start wandering onto other turf. Here’s a sneak peek at all the goodies RPS dining halls have to offer.

NORTHWEST NEIGHBORHOOD Gresham Food Court at Foster Open 7:00 a.m. to10 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to10 p.m. weekends By far the main attraction of dining in the northwest neighborhood, the Gresham Food Court has more than 10 food counters ready for dinein or carryout. You’ll love Taco John’s Potato Oles and a smoothie from Cream and Crimson Creations.

Hoosier Den at Foster Open 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily A late-night bakery, pizza joint and sausage grill all rolled into one, The Hoosier Den is a smaller, relaxed atmosphere made to grab a slice and maybe even a game of pool.

Crimson Creamery at Foster Open 1 to11 p.m. Monday

through Friday and 5 to11 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday Yet another late-night favorite where students can order a hot breakfast, burger or pizza, this is a great place to chill after a study group finishes its meeting or to take a mini-break of your own and chat with friends.

Hoosier Cafe & Store at McNutt Open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday Like little mini-markets, these places have tons of non-perishable foods as well as bread, milk and ice cream. You’ll also find cough syrup, tissues or a stick of deodorant to replace the one you lost. There’s also a cafe that serves up hot subs or sandwiches, soup and salad —an excellent lunch spot. Or, breakfast is

Explore • Experience • Excel

served with a bagel or muffin and cup of Starbucks coffee made just for you by the barista.

Edmondson Dining Room at Collins Open for brunch 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner 5 to 7:30 p.m.

Monday through Thursday. There is also a Friday brunch 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a Sunday brunch 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

People say the Edmondson Dining Room looks like IU’s version of Hogwarts. And while we see some resemblance between Collins’ gnome mascot and Professor Dumbledore, you should probably just come see for yourself. Collins serves two buffet-style meals per day and is perfect for the days when all you want is something homecooked. Vegetarians and vegans will also love eating here for its many dishes made without meat or animal products.

Deli at Collins Open 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday If you live in Collins, the deli is your one-stop breakfast joint. If you’re around for lunch, you’ll love

the sandwiches made to order. But maybe the best secret of the Collins deli: the lunchtime grill. The kitchen staff will cook you up a burger, grilled cheese or fries on order.

Cool Beans at Eigenmann Open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday Let’s face it, college students rely on caffeine to make it through the week. This small coffee shop brews Starbucks coffee, and the barista there will make you whatever fancy espresso drink you choose.

CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD Wright Food Court Open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekends As the biggest food court on campus, the Wright Food Court can get pretty busy, especially at peak meal times, so plan accordingly. You’ll love the Flamingo Grille’s spicy chicken sandwich or Pacific Rim’s stir fry, made to order.

Hoosier Cafe & Store at Wright Open 10 a.m.-midnight weekdays ,noon - midnight weekends Each RPS convenience store varies slightly, so if you can’t find something in one place, try another. Also, if they have them, eat a pizza pretzel.

You won’t regret it.

Hoosier Cafe & Store at Eigenmann Open 7 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, 9 a.m. to midnight Sunday.

SOUTHEAST NEIGHBORHOOD Landes Dining Room at Read Open for lunch 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, dinner 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday The traditional dining room at Read is a lot like the home-cooked experience at Collins, but with a different menu. Read doesn’t emphasize vegetarian or vegan dishes quite as much, either. Carnivores, rejoice.

El Bistro at Read Open 8:30 a.m. to midnight weekdays, 9 a.m. to midnight weekends Where else could you get a waffle topped with ice cream and a freshly wrapped burrito during the same meal? The food is made to order and is definitely worth the wait —especially for the burritos. Eat your heart out, Chipotle.

COMMON SENSE

BY ALYSSA GOLDMAN goldman6@indiana.edu

IU does a lot to keep its students safe, but students must do their part as well.

The residence halls at IU have many safety features designated to help freshmen.

After 12 a.m., the entrances to the residence halls are locked, and students can only enter the building with a key card.

Some people wish to enter the building during late hours but don’t have a key card with them.

Students might want to be helpful, but they should not allow those late-comers in, Bill Shipton said, director of student residential programs and services and judicial officer for the campus judicial system. The key-card system is very high-tech. Swiping a key-card can determine when a student has entered the residence hall or room. “This may seem Big Brother-ish,�

Shipton said. “But it really helps to keep track of missing students.�

Cameras in and around the residence halls serve the same purpose, Shipton said.

Resident assistants and police officers go on rounds to ensure that students are being safe late at night and during the early mornings.

Many students think rounds are meant to get them in trouble, but it is really to benefit them, Shipton said. Students, however, will get in trouble if they are found participating in illicit activities.

The campus is well lit around the residence halls and parking lot, Shipton said.

If students are having a bad experience while walking around campus — during the day or at night — they can get the IU Police Department to come their way without even calling them.

Emergency stations around campus contact the IUPD and flash a blue light when a student pushes the button, Shipton said.

Students can also make use of the safety escort, a service meant to provide students with an alternative to walking alone at night. The service is free and can transport a student anywhere on campus and from campus to an off-campus location. Students simply must provide their 10-digit student ID number to the dispatcher and show their student ID when entering the vehicle. The number is 812-855-SAFE.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE THAT RED PARTY CUP We won’t talk you out of drinking on a Friday night. No one else will, either. College is about making decisions for yourself. We just want you to be safe.

Here are a few things you should know if you do choose to attend that first big kegger.

You probably think it would never happen to you, but drinking can be dangerous. According to 2007 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 23,199 alcohol induced deaths, and some have occurred on this campus.

People who are new

to drinking typically have low tolerances for alcohol, so don’t overdo it. When you drink too much and pass out, your gag reflexes (which prevent choking) and your breathing can be suppressed. People who have drank enough to pass out are at risk of choking to death on their own vomit or suffering from alcohol poisoning, which results in emergency room visits or sometimes, death.

It’s important to know that if you see a friend who is showing signs or symptoms of alcohol poisoning, don’t hesitate to call 911. You won’t get in trouble for saving someone’s life.

THE RISK Another issue that can come with college parties is sexual assault. As many as one in four college women experience unwanted sexual intercourse in the United States, and many of these incidents happen at or after parties. The danger comes from a difference in expectations between men and women, said Elizabeth Armstrong, an

still the best security at IU

IU assistant sociology professor, in a 2006 press release. The majority of sexual assaults involve alcohol. Here are some tips to help you out.

CAMPUS BUS Tip #1

Âť Watch for people who pressure you to drink or seem overly enthusiastic about getting you drunk.

Âť Be careful with mixed punches or “Jungle Juice.â€? Their contents and alcohol volume are often a mystery. Âť Don’t leave your drink unattended. Âť Never leave a friend alone when she or he has had too much to drink. Âť Make arrangements with friends to stick together and agree on when to intervene if things look like they’re getting out of hand. Âť Stay in a public place, like the dance floor or seating area, and stay out of private rooms. Âť Know where you are and how to get home.

Always at least have cash for a cab and don’t rely on someone you don’t know to give you a ride.  Trust your instincts. If you think someone is a creep, that person is most likely a creep.

DID YOU KNOW... ...that the IU Health Center has a Sexual Assault Crisis Service (SACS)? This service offers crisis intervention, individual and group counseling and educational programming. It is available for any member of the IU community for free. The service has a 24-hour telephone line, which will put you in touch with a specially trained counselor who can answer your questions and further assist you. The phone number is 812-855-8900.

If you are in immediate danger, don’t hesitate to call 911.

How to Safely Ride the Bus IU Campus Bus Service provides public transportation for the IU Bloomington campus.

For your SAFETY: s 7AIT AT DESIGNATED BUS STOPS ONLY "USES MAY ONLY board or alight passengers at designated stops. s "OARD AT THE &2/.4 DOOR ONLY s -OVE TO THE REAR OF THE BUS AFTER BOARDING SO THAT AS MANY AS POSSIBLE MAY BOARD THE BUS s $O NOT STAND FORWARD OF THE WHITE LINE IN THE FRONT OF THE BUS 4HIS IS A FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATION TO ALLOW THE bus driver a clear ďŹ eld of vision. s 0ULL THE STOP REQUEST CORD TO SIGNAL THE DRIVER YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXIT AT THE NEXT STOP s %XIT AT THE 2%!2 DOOR 4HIS WILL EXPEDITE THE BOARDING of passengers. s $O NOT CROSS IN FRONT OF THE BUS AFTER EXITING 7AIT UNTIL THE BUS HAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE BUS STOP AND YOU have a clear ďŹ eld of vision in both directions before crossing the street.

The legacy of Herman B Wells controversial research into human sexuality drew criticism from big name leaders locally and internationally.

As president and chancellor, Wells kept in mind the future growth of the University and realized that because the institution would far outlive him, he ought to provide for its future.

The board of trustees criticized Wells when he bought the land upon which Assembly Hall now rests, Gros Louis said.

“That’s the kind of vision he had,” Gros Louis said, “And it’s why IU’s campus is so centralized.”

The first building Wells had constructed as president was the IU Auditorium.

“He said he built it because he wanted to tell students, especially students from rural Indiana, that the world was available to them,” Gros Louis said.

That same spirit of global education was what led Wells to find instructors who could come from other countries and teach at IU. “Indiana University built the SEE WELLS, PAGE 17

Before Herman B Wells took charge of IU, the University was just a small midwestern college with 11,000 students.

By the time he died in 2000, it had become a world-renowned institution with more than 90,000 students on eight campuses.

“He put Indiana University on the map,” James Capshew, associate professor of history and philosophy of science and author of a Wells biography, said. “Not just in the Big Ten, but nationally and internationally.”

Wells served as the 11th president of IU from 1938 to 1962 and as chancellor from 1962 until he passed away in 2000.

He came here as a student in 1921 and fell in love with the campus, Capshew said.

“When he became president, he was determined to offer students a similar experience to what he had,” Capshew said.

Wells is known for making some of the most substantial changes to the University that helped make it what it is today.

“He created, I think, a very extraordinary culture in Bloomington,” Chancellor Ken Gros Louis, a man who knew Wells, said. “The most recently hired custodian was as important to him as the most distinguished professor.”

There are many stories about Wells’ successful desegregation efforts in Bloomington and on campus, and they were all done in a similar, nontraditional fashion.

“He didn’t rustle feathers,” Capshew said. “He found a way to remove barriers.”

During the early part of his presidency, a restaurant originally located on Indiana Avenue, The Gables, did not serve black students. Wells called the owner of the restaurant and asked him to serve blacks. The owner refused.

“Wells said, ‘I understand, but I hope you will understand if I make The Gables off-limits to all students,’” Gros Louis said. “The owner started serving black students.”

Wells was also the driving force behind IU recruiting the first black basketball player in the Big Ten. He stood up against powerful figures, such as the governor, in defense of Alfred Kinsey, whose

Study abroad

IU students travel the world for academic credit

BY LAUREN MCCONNELL ljmcconn@indiana.edu

When former IU student David Kerner was watching hippopotamuses on a camping safari in Botswana, he didn’t know he would be woken up at 4 a.m. by one outside his tent.

Kerner went on this camping safari and other trips while studying abroad in Cape Town, South Africa.

The IU Office of Overseas Study facilitates more than 250 administered, co-sponsored or autonomous programs on all eight IU campuses to more than 2,500 students and gives more than $100,000 in need- and merit-based scholarships annually.

With so many options, the Office of Overseas Study provides guidance for interested students with a staff in Bloomington for advising, student services, financial and budget.

While IU offers 250 overseas study programs in 17 languages in 52 countries, fluency is not required, according to the IU Overseas Study website.

Kerner graduated in 2011 with a degree in psychology and was in Cape Town for the spring 2010 semester.

“The best thing about IU study abroad programs is there are so many destinations,” he said.

For students considering studying abroad, Kerner gives this advice: “Get your major out of the way quickly so you can take electives abroad. Making friends with teachers always helps for those letters of recommendation,” he said.

Because he didn’t have many major requirements to fulfill, Kerner said he was able to take classes he wanted to while abroad, like a course in African politics. He also had advice for when students are abroad.

“Try everything,” he said.

“Take risks.”

The “First Step” section at the IU Overseas Study website provides information on choosing a program, financial aid, alternative overseas experience and profiles of students who have studied abroad.

IU programs and non-IU programs are both offered, but prospective students need to keep

IU programs offer direct IU credit, grades count in grade-point average and most financial aid is applicable. However, students should check that credits earned in non-IU programs are transferrable and that financial aid can be applied. Grades for non-IU programs are not calculated in the GPA and it does not count toward senior residency.

Kinsey Institute brings radical sex research to IU

BY LAUREN MCCONNELL ljmcconn@indiana.edu

KARLY TEARNEY | IDS

The Erotic Art Show at the Kinsey Institute offers a variety of art, including photography, sculptures and paintings. The show can be viewed at the Kinsey Institute in Morrison Hall 2-4 P.M. Monday through Friday.

How men make decisions about sexual partners, how mood affects sexual arousal in women and what prevents couples from using condoms are only some of the topics on sex being researched at IU’s ground-breaking Kinsey Institute.

The Institute has been a source of research and information about issues in sex, gender and reproduction since 1947.

The Institute is named for Dr. Alfred Kinsey. Kinsey gathered histories of sexual behavior in thousands of interviews, which culminated in his book “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male,” published in 1948.

This was followed by his “Sexual Behavior in the Human Female” in 1953. The volume “surprised everyone when it became a bestseller,” according to the Kinsey website.

The Kinsey Institute offers a library, art collections, events, an active research program and the Kinsey Confidential Website. For example, Kinsey has 250 original prints by Wilhelm von

“We are the recorders and reporters of facts - not the judges of the behaviors we described.

Alfred Kinsey, sex researcher

Gloeden, who is known as the first photographer of the male nude.

Open Monday through Friday, 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., the Gallery showcases selected pieces from the Institute’s collection of art, artifacts and photography.

Self-guided tours are available Monday through Friday, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and guided public tours are offered on certain Fridays. Reservations are required for public tours and can be made by calling 812-855-7686 or emailing kinsey@ indiana.edu.

Have questions about birth control, sexual dysfunction, condoms, orgasm or sexual assault? Kinsey Confidential is a blog and podcast website from The Kinsey Institute that provides information on sexual issues for college students.

Questions can anonymously be submitted on the website.

NAVIGATING through IU

BY JACKSON CALDWELL jaccaldw@indiana.edu

There are a lot of great things about our campus, but it is understandable how some students have trouble navigating from home to class, around campus and back home.

For those not yet acquainted with their way around Bloomington, the following are a few tips you may not know that could help you cut down on your travel time and energy.

BUS SERVICE The University tells us that the buses are free, but the cost is really already included in tuition.

You are paying for the bus, so it is worthwhile to use it.

For students living near the stadium, the A and X buses can be a huge help. The X bus goes directly from the stadium to the Union, and the A goes down Fee Lane, around campus and back to the stadium.

If you live on North Jordan, the B bus can help you out, going all the way from the Jordan extension around campus.

For students living near Union Street or on the south side of campus, the D and E buses are convenient. Bloomington Transit also has buses to get around the city.

Students frequently use the 6 and 9 routes, with 9 running out to College Mall, where students can fulfill any shopping needs.

A full list of campus bus services are listed at www.iubus.indiana.edu/campus_bus/index.html, and city bus services are at www. bloomingtontransit.com

DRIVING If you own a car, you won’t have much luck getting from class to class with it. Most freshmen will only be able to get an E permit, which cost $105.60 last year. The E permit allows for parking in E spots, mostly located at the stadium. So, if you do decide to bring a car, plan to park far away or deal with the dreaded yellow ticket underneath your windshield.

For more information on parking on campus, visit www.parking.indiana.edu/parking_operations/default.aspx.

WALKING This is the main mode of transportation for a lot of students. It is not bad, especially if you know all the places to cut through.

If you are coming from North Fee, cutting through the Arboretum helps. If you are at Eigenmann, walk through the apartments to reach Seventh Street.

As you familiarize yourself more with campus, you will find shortcuts of your own.

But, just walking fast with some headphones on can be a breeze.

BIKING If walking is not your thing and you do not have a car, go for a bike. They are cheap, but you must buy a one-time $10.00 bike permit.

One permit is valid for as long as you own that bike.

The Bloomington Community Bike Project is a great source for bikes, some costing as little as $40 to $50. Volunteering is also an option for those who wish to hone their bike repair skills, and it can earn you a bike for free.

NEW Great for that new book smell.

» WELLS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 strongest foreign language program of any university in the nation,” Capshew said.

“That really got started with Wells after World War II.” But beyond providing for its future, Wells genuinely cared about the University’s students, Capshew said.

Wells developed a reputation for remembering people’s names, even if they had only met once, and he frequently took strolls around campus to meet students.

In his old age, when he was not able to do that anymore, his assistants helped him.

“He really led through that empathy, that fellow feeling that he had for students and faculty,” Capshew said.

Today, Wells is still remembered on campus. The main library is named in his honor, and a bronze statue of him sits on a bench in the Old Crescent looking over Dunn Woods, an area he banned the University from developing.

“He’s the one that made what I think is a very special culture,” Gros Louis said. “The time will come when nobody living will remember him, but he’ll still be remembered because of what he did for this University.”

The IU Auditorium opened in 1941 after it was constructed as part of the Works Progress Administration program. Built entirely of Indiana limestone, it was the first building completely planned and constructed under Herman B Wells. With more than 3,000 seats, the auditorium is home to off-Broadway shows, guest speakers, comedians, orchestras, concerts and more, with acts appealing to every demographic.

The Grunwald Gallery of Art is an exhibition venue for both professional and student artists to display their work. Free to the public, the gallery “frequently collaborates with artists, scientists and scholars to produce exhibits that interpret visual art in a broader scientific or humanities context,” according to its website.

OUR PICK The auditorium opens its 2012-13 season with the Broadway hit “American Idiot,” inspired by alt-rockers Green Day. Following the story of three lifelong friends who have to choose between chasing their dreams or staying in the life they’ve always known, it is told through the music of the band, including songs such as “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,”“21 Guns” and “Holiday.” When: Sept.

Make memories with your own Bloomington bucket list GO TO A BASKETBALL GAME AT ASSEMBLY HALL IU fans believe that Hoosier basketball is the best, no matter the team’s record.

And as an IU student, it’s an obligatory move to also believe this. So, go to a game and marvel at the power of IU fans in Assembly Hall. Plus, games can include big head posters, entertaining cheers and indoor (yes, indoor) fireworks.

VISIT THE IU ART MUSEUM AND LILLY LIBRARY That building with the red circular sculpture and multicolored lights at night is the IU Art Museum. Check it out at night when the lights are beaming into the night sky. Then during the day, go back to see the floors of artwork.

Follow that with a short walk to the Fine Arts Plaza to also see the student work at the School of Fine Arts gallery and the rare books and treasures at the Lilly Library.

DISCOVER ANOTHER SPORT Speaking of sports, IU has many free sporting events, so go to a baseball game, swim meet or tennis match. Or for athletes (and non-athletes) who aren’t Division I, join a club sport or intramural team. There are various levels, from serious competition to just having fun, along with a slew of sports to try, with everything from cornhole to dodgeball to water polo.

LIVE AT THE INDIANA MEMORIAL UNION Seemingly large and confusing at first, the Indiana Memorial Union can become a second home. Eat lunch at the fancy-looking Tudor Room (with a student discount, of course).

Print homework in the computer lab. Sleep between classes in one of the lounges. And best of all, use the union to pull the classic college all-nighter to study or write a paper.

LOOK UP TO SOMEONE

TRAVEL ABROAD Although a little counter-intuitive to a bucket list for IU, it’s a great way to not only appreciate what is possible in Bloomington, but also to explore or find a passion as well as bring back a new perspective.

EXPLORE BLOOMINGTON As a freshman, it will be really easy to stay on campus where food can be bought with meal points, your friends are down the hall and there is plenty of stuff to do.

But Bloomington as a town is amazing too. Start the exploration small and venture through the Sample Gates to Kirkwood Avenue, which is technically off-campus, but close. For food, try an ethnic restaurant on Fourth Street.

There’s cuisine from all around the world for you to expand your taste buds.

Then move even farther outward, and explore your new home and all it has to offer. It’s only four years, and it will be over before you know it.

With more than 40,000 students plus faculty and staff, finding someone on campus to look up to won’t take long.

Maybe it will be a favorite professor or a student leader in one of IU’s 650+ clubs and organizations or maybe someone totally different.

Regardless, college includes building connections, and finding someone to help through the stress of classes and celebrate the victories is crucial.

VISIT CULTURE CENTERS There are several culture centers on campus, and they are places to meet and connect with people on campus who share similar traditions and viewpoints.

The centers also serve as resources for information about different cultures and a home for various student groups related to the center. Check out these centers to learn about culture from peers and venture outside the classroom.

Traditions allow students to get involved in IU legacy

BY LAUREN REARICK lrearick@indiana.edu

Welcome to IU! Traditions are an important aspect of any school’s pride and legacy. With that in mind, make sure to embrace every IU tradition.

Here at IU, you will find yourself face-to-face with a wide array of situations and opportunities unique to Hoosiers.

IU traditions help to bring together people of all races, cultures and personalities, as well as open doors for shy people to emerge from their shell and stand confidently alongside their fellow Hoosiers. Here are a few traditions we celebrate at IU. Whether it’s a football game or a Straight No Chaser (IU’s men’s a capella group) concert, Hoosiers always like to celebrate school pride. Football games are a great way to cheer on the Hoosiers as well as a perfectly good excuse to paint your face and fist bump a stranger.

Homecoming is not just a time for football: It also brings a celebratory parade and the “Yell Like Hell” spirit competition. Not only is Homecoming a tremendous event, but it is also a legacy that Indiana University helped to popularize, as IU was one of the first universities in the nation to adopt the celebration. So come to the festivities, warm up those vocals and don your best red shirt.

One of the great traditions celebrated at IU sporting events is the singing of the fight song. First performed in 1912, “Indiana, Our Indiana” is the fight song played at every IU football and basketball game.

Basketball games are another opportunity for those sport enthusiasts out there (or any IU enthusiast) to really get excited about IU. Even those who are new to IU recognize the power of the school’s traditions. In fact, one of our 2011 basketball recruits made his decision to come to IU, in part, for the great traditions.

“It’s a great school with a lot of tradition,” Louisville, Ky., native and guard Remy Abell said. “Coach Crean, he’s a future Hall of Fame coach. I’m trying to bring the tradition back. Putting on that jersey, those candy-striped pants, it’s more than playing.

It’s tradition.”

Athletics are not the only tradition here at IU. Make sure to get down and dance at IU’s Dance Marathon in the fall, an event that helps raise money for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. Participants dance for 36 hours, throwing caution and sleep to the wind in order to support the cause. Of course, exhaustion afterward is expected, but the feeling of doing a good thing as well as par- “It’s a great ticipating in a memo- school with a rable event makes lot of tradition. it all worthwhile Coach Crean, to students.

IU traditions are a big part of school pride, and the events that bring Hoosiers together are very memorable for most.

The proof is in the audience of any sporting event, concert, festival, performance or musical you attend.

If you take a look around, make sure to note that along with your fellow students, there are plenty of proud alumni clapping and chanting along with you. That being said: Sing, chant, clap and dance for your school at every opportunity.

It’s tradition.”

The “World’s Greatest College Weekend”

LITTLE 500

BY KENNY BRUNS | kenbruns@indiana.edu

Most people would assume the Tour De France is the biggest bike race in the world. Those people have never been to IU. Now going into its 63rd year, the Little 500 race is the biggest college bike race in the world. Thousands of visitors pour into Bloomington to be a part of the weekend.

The inspiration came in 1950 when Howdy Wilcox watched four students race bikes around a dormitory. Now, the Little 500 race has become the largest intramural event at IU. The race is put on by the IU Student Foundation, and the proceeds are used to grant scholarships to working students.

The women’s race takes place the Friday of Little 500 weekend and has up to 33 teams, who race 100 laps around the cinder track.

The men’s race takes place on Saturday and also consists of 33

teams which are determined by qualifying time trials. The first team to complete 200 laps around the quarter-mile cinder track wins.

The teams typically represent fraternities, sororities, residence halls and independent groups.

The race achieved such popularity throughout the years that celebrities such as Barack Obama, David Letterman and Lance Armstrong have been known to attend.

The race also inspired the Oscar-winning movie “Breaking Away.” The film prompted a group of riders to break from their fraternity and name themselves the Cutters.

The most recent Cutters team won the race for the fifth straight year in 2011, a feat never before accomplished in the race’s history.

The race, however, is not the only fun event by any means.

Festivities kick off early in

the week as fraternities sponsor concerts that have featured artists such as Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa.

The IU Auditorium usually plays host to a concert, too. Flight of the Concords played to close out 2009’s Little 500 weekend.

A plethora of outside events also take place, like pudding wrestling competitions. Students should be warned, though, classes do still continue to follow their regular schedule.

The bike race is not the only race during the week either. The Little 50 is the runner’s equivalent to the Little 500 race. The Little 50 consists of 25 teams of four running in a 50-lap relay race and typically takes place Thursday of Little 500 week.

One thing is for sure, Little 500 is an experience IU students never forget. So mark your calendars because this is one weekend you will not want to miss.

ibby Lienhoop was born to be in a sorority.

Her parents met while they were in the greek system at IU, and her brother, aunt and grandparents also spent their college days in IU fraternities and sororities.

As a freshman, Libby wanted the same thing.

Libby was one of about 1,500 women to go through sorority recruitment in 2010.

Rush began in December with 19 Party and ended in January with Bid Day. IU has one of the most competitive rush processes in the country.

This is Libby’s story.

FIRST INVITE, DAY ONE Earlier in the day, Libby was handed her First Invite list, with all 14 houses back that she ranked during 19 Party.

“My Rho Gamma was like, ‘That doesn’t happen,’” Libby said of her recruitment counselor.

Libby visited eight sororities and tried to keep an open mind.

“You hear stigmas and stereotypes of all the houses, and you try to erase them before you go in,” Libby said.

“It makes it a lot better if you don’t think about it.”

FIRST INVITE, DAY TWO The women begin yelling, clapping and banging on the doors.

The potential new members are led away to chat with some of the sisters, while others set up the multipurpose room to look like “Movie Night with the Zetas.”

The Zetas act out movies, each emphasizing a different ideal.

“Kappa Kappa Gamma presents ... ” one woman reads, followed by a name.

DECADE ON THE BRINK How IU slipped from a men’s basketball powerhouse to one of the worst teams in the college game — and back

BY SEAN MORRISON sm72@indiana.edu

This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen.

Indiana bills itself as a basketball state, and nowhere is that more apparent than in Bloomington, home of the Hoosiers.

Five NCAA titles. Eight Final Four appearances. Twenty Big Ten Conference championships.

The Cream and Crimson had won at least seven games in every season since 1915, during the era of 13-game seasons. In 2008, one of the most turbulent moments in IU basketball history sent the Hoosiers crawling back into that cellar again. This time, they were 6-25 by the end of the season instead of 6-7.

IU coach Tom Crean and his 2011-12 squad were tasked with getting Indiana back to where it once was. Its collapse from that pedestal, however, took much longer than the three years he’d spent in Bloomington.

THE END OF AN ERA The straw that broke Bob Knight’s back fell on Sept. 8, 2000.

The then-IU basketball coach learned about allegations of assault, spearheaded by alleged victim Kent Harvey. In May 2000, Knight had been put under a “zero-tolerance� policy by the University and its president at the time, Myles Brand. Two days later, at 3:15 p.m., the University administration announced its decision to fire the winningest coach in its history, the man who earned three of the Hoosiers’ five national championships and 11 Big Ten titles.

Rioters swarmed throughout campus and marched on the Bryan House, the on-campus home of IU’s president, following the announcement. They would leave and return later, bringing with them anger and, according to reports by journalists from the time, violence.

The groups burned effigies of Brand and Harvey, tore through the Showalter Fountain and battled with riot squads. Then Knight, known by fans as “The General,� returned.

He told the crowds this wasn’t the way to show their support and to disperse. Days later, he gave a speech sponsored by the Indiana Daily Student, telling his side of the story and giving them one final message. “Don’t let the student body, the energy, the enthusiasm that the student body has had for basketball — please don’t let that change,�

Knight told the gathering of fans that often drowned out his words in applause. “If you want to do something to remember me by, do that. Continue the same energy, the same enthusiasm that the students before you have given to basketball.�

THE SHADOW OF KNIGHT Mike Davis, an assistant under Knight, took over after Knight’s 29 years at the helm. IU administrators named Davis the interim coach for the team until they agreed upon a proper course of action.

On March 22, 2001, after a 21-13 season and postseason berth, Davis had the “interim� dropped from his title and became the Hoosiers’ head coach. He led IU to a Final Four appearance in 2002 but was criticized throughout his time at Indiana and admitted to feeling unappreciated by fans and the administration.

After just six seasons, Davis could take no more. He resigned Feb. 17, 2006, a season his team finished at 19-12.

The shadow of Knight, along with the expectations, was too much.

Kelvin Sampson coached at a well-known Oklahoma program and was considered one of the elite coaches and recruiters in the nation.

His resume, in terms of accomplishments, was rock solid.

However, Sampson brought something other than his abilities, championship mentality and Final Four experience on March 29, 2006. He brought a smudge of 550 impermissible phone calls to recruits, considered an NCAA rules “Don’t let the violation. Then-IU student body, Athletics Directhe energy, the tor Rick Greenspan shrugged off enthusiasm the infractions. that the student In early 2008, the body has had NCAA found Sampson and IU Athlet- for basketball ics guilty of “major — please don’t let rules violations� that change.� involving the impermissible calls to Bobby Knight, former IU coach recruits. On Feb. 22, 2008, he resigned.

Sampson’s resignation wasn’t the only blow to the team. IU lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to Arkansas after boasting a top-25 ranking all season long. The team selfregulated and forfeited two scholarships in an effort to curb NCAA penalties. Greenspan, too, resigned after bringing in IU’s next head coach — former Marquette dynamo Tom Crean. The Hoosiers lost commitments from several highly regarded prospects and many of their own players along the way. ‘IT’S INDIANA’ Despite it all, Crean came.

He left Marquette, a Final Four contender and a school where he’d found much success, and came to a soon-to-be bottom-feeder. He didn’t do it for the money or championships or fame. “It’s Indiana,� he said at his first press conference. “It’s Indiana. It’s the absolute pinnacle, and that’s to be the head basketball coach of Indiana University.�

Crean said he never doubted his decision, and now, with the pieces in place for the first time in his tenure, the future seems more “normal� for his self-proclaimed basketball school. The violations, the losses and the SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 39

In a college town with one of the top music schools in the nation, there is bound to be local music talent. Throw in a variety of bars and live music venues, and almost every day of the week offers an opportunity to catch a listen.

We talked to the owners of three all-ages live music venues around

town to see if there are any unifying characteristics of the bands and performers making music in town.

Is Bloomington a bluegrass town?

Is it an indie rock town? Maybe a hip-hop town?

It turns out it’s more of an everything town. But from what we gathered, each venue manages to offer its own assortment of “everything.”

Get your music fix at these all-ages venues RACHAEL’S CAFE 300 E. Third St. Type of music Owner Rachael Jones said the restaurant has had every genre of music except country. Jones says people looking to soak up music at Rachael’s can expect to hear punk, folk, Irish and hip-hop, as well as plenty of local independent acts.

The Bloomington scene “I feel blessed with how many places there are to go,” Jones says. She also says the Jacobs School of Music has a positive influence on the talent and musical diversity of many of the bands that play in Bloomington — especially when the bands are made up of students.

The Rachael’s Café scene “We THE BISHOP 123 S. Walnut St.

MAX’S PLACE 109 W. Seventh St. Type of music “Basically anything that’s off the beaten path,” says owner Travers Marks. “We don’t really go for big cover bands. We like classic rock, but we don’t usually book it. We don’t like top 40, but bluegrass, reggae, blues, jazz, any weird combination thereof, singer-songwriters, that’s Max’s Place.”

The Bloomington scene: “It’s a breeding ground,” Marks says. “It’s a place where you are not likely to

make much money playing, but you’re going to be able to find the people you need to start the band you always dreamed of.”

The Max’s Place scene Marks says two simple words sum up the restaurant’s niche within the Bloomington music scene: Hirsute (meaning shaggy) and liberal.

Before you go Don’t eat before seeing a band at Max’s Place.

Grab a table with your friends, share a pizza and stay a while.

Type of music: “We’re not too genre-specific,” says owner Stephen Westrich. “(We have had) everything from rock bands, indie rock bands, alt-country, hip-hop.

But if we lean towards one thing it’s an indie rock environment, I guess.”

The Bloomington scene: “I guess I would say that we’re lucky to have an abnormally productive music scene,” Westrich says. “I grew up in a town the same size of Bloomington, and there was nothing going on. It’s unusual the amount of quality coming out of here.”

are so many different things,” Jones says. “We are a coffee shop in the daytime and a music venue at night. We also are not limited to people 21 and over. Any age can come. In fact, we had a women’s music night recently, and there was a girl playing that was younger than 10.”

Before you go While Rachael’s Cafe can fill the place to capacity at night with its live music and DJ events, don’t forget that it’s also a great place to study or relax during the day. The place is adorned with bizarre sculptures, stimulating artwork and loaded bookshelves for customers to enjoy. And even though the tables and chairs are removed for dance parties, the couches are always there if you need to take a breather.

The Bishop scene: “In terms of places that regularly do live music, we only do original music,” Westrich says. “We definitely embrace local bands like nobody else does and we really solely concentrate on original music.

We’ve turned down things we know would bring us 200 people, but we don’t do them. There’s an audience for those kinds of things, but we brand ourselves as something different.”

THE BLUEBIRD NIGHTCLUB 216 N. Walnut St. Type of music “A huge variety,” says owner Dave Kubiak. “That’s probably the most unique thing about it.”

The Bloomington scene “Because of the music school, there is a uniqueness to play different types of music because the students are a little more cultured and have a broader scope of what to play,” Kubiak says. “You get a lot of students down here who are musically inclined.”

The Bluebird scene “It’s really a hybrid of different things.” Kubiak says. “Most clubs try to stick to one type of music, and largely because of the size of the Bluebird, it’s a more unique place in that we have to keep it entertaining.”

Before you go: People over the age of 21 can go directly to the bar area after checking in at the door, but anyone younger will be directed to the stage area to hang out until the band gets on.

The Bluebird Nightclub, located at 216 N. Walnut, sees many major national acts from a variety of music genres.

In 2010 the Bluebird featured performances by Yeasayer, Bone Thugs n' Harmony and Ingrid Michaelson, just to name a few. Besides well known artists, the nightclub also features shows from lesser known and local acts.

Tribute bands often make apperances at the 'bird.

Recreational sports help to give students an outlet

BY JUSTIN SHOCKEY jnshocke@indiana.edu

Students can be seen running and participating in sports in between classes throughout the school year. Campus Recreational Sports provides a unique opportunity for students to maintain or start their fitness routines while in school.

Steve Heeter, service director for Member Services, said they are committed to helping students and staff.

“Our first priority is serving the Indiana University-Bloomington students, followed by faculty and staff,” Heeter said in an email.

Kim Gray, service director for Marketing and Sponsorship, said students hold a very important role in the deciding stages of programs and activities with the Recreational Sports organization.

“We offer a variety of

programming and facility spaces that meet (student) needs because we ask students up front what they want,” Gray said in an email. “The students have a voice through the Student Recreational Sports Association.”

In addition to intramural sports offered (flag football, basketball, indoor soccer, kickball, softball, volleyball, whiffleball and tennis), Campus Recreational Sports also offers other various programs.

“Throughout the school year we still offer a full complement of RS programs, including group exercise, yoga/Pilates, cycle fit, circuit strength, informal sports, personal training, lap swimming, swimming sessions and some club sports,” Kathy Bayless, director of Campus Recreational Sports, said in an email.

According to Chris Arvin, program director for Fitness and Wellness, participating in healthy

activities should be a high priority year round.

Heeter said the students have already paid for their service membership if they are enrolled in classes.

Chris Geary, director of Programming and Research, said students are better off sticking to their normal workout schedules.

“If they want to come in and get a quick workout in with minimal interruptions, then mornings and early afternoons are still best,” Geary said in an email. “If they are coming to work out and they want to meet people or get in a pickup game, then late afternoon and evenings are still best.”

Arvin said students should use these unique opportunities to start a workout schedule that will last into the fall and winter. This could possibly start a full-time healthy lifestyle for students while at Indiana, he said.

“I felt totally relaxed,” Libby said. “When I was waiting for the round to start, they tell you to look around at the girls because they could be your future pledge class. I loved all those girls.”

The women begin to hum in unison as potential new members are introduced one by one.

Later, the Fireside Chat is performed. Each sister holds a note card or slip of paper in hand and reads it to a specific potential new member, highlighting parts of a conversation they’ve had or aspects of the woman’s personality that they like.

» BASKETBALL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31 ridicule seem a bit dulled as the Hoosiers approach prominence again.

Still, the team must work to remove the blemish put on it by the events of the past 12 seasons.

Regardless of the challenge, Crean said he loved his job and every aspect of it, and that it was a joy to him to be a part of the tradition at Indiana. The third-year Hoosier coach grew up knowing what IU basketball was in the 1970s and ’80s, only to watch what it became two decades later.

5.6 SECONDS This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen.

IU fans expected vast improvement in the 201112 season. They expected a tournament berth of some kind — the NIT, maybe even the NCAA tournament if the Hoosiers got lucky.

“The Movement,” a moniker coined for Crean’s stellar recruiting class set to hit Bloomington in 2012, was supposed to be the turning point. But somehow, some

“They always say you’ll have a feeling and you’ll know ... and I was like, ‘That’s not going to happen to me,’” Libby said. “I’ve never been into the whole fate thing, but I kind of feel like that now.”

Even though Libby said she has a good feeling, there’s no sure thing in sorority recruitment.

way, that momentous pivot came a year early.

On Dec. 10, 2011, Indiana proved it was on its way back for 39 minutes and 54.4 seconds against then-undefeated and thenNo. 1 Kentucky. The Wildcats were one of the favorites to win the NCAA Title at year’s end. They were more athletic, more talented, better in nearly every conceivable way.

And yet, the Hoosiers were only down two points with 5.6 seconds to go in the game. The crowd at Assembly Hall — 17,472 fans whose voices combined to be louder than a jet engine at times — was as boisterous and excited as many had seen in decades, let alone Crean’s past three seasons.

It was not a perfect game.

The Hoosiers scratched.

They clawed. They battled.

And in the dying seconds, IU had the ball and it had a shot.

It was a whisper from the past. The days of Knight, hanging National Championship banners, the time when saying “It’s Indiana” was more than a call back to tradition.

Senior guard Verdell Jones, often questioned for his decision-making by fans, made the most veteran play of his career on a brilliant drive-and-kick pass.

Junior forward Christian Watford, criticized early in the season by some for his sloppy play coming off of an injury, fired off a 3-pointer Crean could only describe as “perfect” after the game.

The ball spun through the air, cutting through a decade of defeat, humiliation and squalor. Watford held his shooting hand to the sky, leaving it hanging because he already knew.

The shot sank. Assembly Hall rose to its feet. Within a minute, Branch McCracken Court was no longer visible from above. The years of longing for Knight, aching for redemption and pleading for a miracle were over.

After more than a decade on the brink of irrelevance, Indiana basketball was back. *SOURCE: The 2011-2012 Arbutus Yearbook

A MAJOR ALL YOUR OWN Individualized Major Program offers students chance to study specialties, earn customized degrees

BY CLAIRE ARONSON cearonso@indiana.edu

Animated movies by Pixar and Disney have now taken a new meaning for sophomore Sydni Gregg.

Gregg created her animation major through IU’s Individualized Major Program, IMP. Her focus is on 2-D animation.

“As a kid, you don’t realize that it is an art form, and it’s something I still love,” she said. “I am a huge geek for Pixar and Disney and all of those traditional big-name

studios, so I just figured that this is what I wanted to do.”

Because animation draws from both the Department of Telecommunications and the School of Fine Arts, Gregg has two sponsors instead of the required one.

“You find your sponsors and with their help, you start planning your curriculum because you actually have to plan out four years,” she said.

After presenting her major proposal to a committee, Gregg received approval.

“It all built up and then it was, ‘Thank goodness, they

accepted me,’” she said.

While IU doesn’t have specific animation classes, digital art classes and telecommunications production classes are offered and teach necessary programs, Gregg said.

“There is a lot of self-exploration and self-teaching,” she said. “The stuff I learn in those classes, I can really apply directly.”

Gregg wasn’t always planning on studying animation

How NOT to look new to campus

BY JUSTIN SHOCKEY jnshocke@indiana.edu

As new students are filtering through campus this year, it can be certain that among all of the hustle and bustle they will notice a sea of red lanyards worn around the necks of students typically carrying maps of campus.

These students, as upperclassmen will most likely point out, are freshmen.

After unpacking their cars, meeting up with new roommates and saying goodbye to their crying mothers, freshmen make their way into IU campus activities, classes and culture.

This can be a hectic time in the life of a freshman. Most have never cooked their own meals, lived on their own or found themselves alone in a crowd of more than 30,000 peers.

Every upperclassman at IU dealt with these issues at some point in their college experience.

Some provide much needed advice for the incoming freshmen looking to start their new Hoosier lives.

SOAK IT IN You should try new activities, and don’t keep a closed mind.

College is an opportunity for a new start. You can be anyone you want to be, and you can do different things than you did in high school.

Junior Jason Garcia said when he came to IU, he was amazed at the activities the school offered.

“There is a lot of stuff here that usually wouldn’t have been offered to you in high school,” Garcia said. “I would definitely tell freshmen never to keep a closed SEE FRESHMAN, PAGE 49

Textbook shopping 101

BY CAITLIN RYAN ryancj@indiana.edu

Campus bookstores maintain an important role at universities across the nation.

Even with its popularity, buying at a bookstore tends to be the most expensive option. Although there are a variety of alternatives, for some students, buying books the traditional way is the way to go.

“I generally buy my books from the IU Bookstore,” senior Eric Burns said. “I like being able to give them my schedule and they can tell me everything I need. It’s a little more expensive, but I like the convenience.”

However, with the help of the Internet, students now have the option to rent or buy books online, and can even purchase them in the form of e-books.

cheap alternative to purchasing books. Both the IU Bookstore and T.I.S. offer this option, in addition to local retailer TXT Book Rental and websites like Chegg.com.

TO PACK OR NOT TO PACK? 5 THINGS TO BE SURE TO PACK

Advice on what to bring and what to leave with your parents 5

1. DRY ERASE BOARD FOR YOUR DOOR Your board is a fun place for friends to leave notes to come home to.

“My birthday was the second day of Welcome Week and everyone on my floor wrote messages on my door,” senior Hillary Simon said. “It was really special. ”

2. FLASH DRIVE It might be tempting to rely on emailing yourself, but carrying around this extra storage makes you better safe than sorry.

“It’s such a hassle to email yourself all your papers,” senior Ryan Bays said. “Having a flash drive was an easy way to keep track of your saved work.”

5 THINGS TO LEAVE AT HOME

3. STAPLER AND THREE-HOLE PUNCH These two items are helpful tools in keeping organized and avoiding lost paperwork.

“Stapling your papers goes a long way,” senior Nate Troscinski said. “It keeps you organized, and a lot of professors won’t take work if it’s not stapled.”

5

4. RAIN BOOTS

5. A NICE DRESS-UP OUTFIT

Rubber rain boots come in a wide variety of styles, patterns and colors. They are valuable additions to a college student who depends on their feet as a primary mode of transportation.

“The weather changes on a dime here,” senior Alex Schenk said. “I was glad I had cute and comfortable rain boots to save the day.”

Maybe you’ll apply for a part time job or have an interview for a scholarship. In either case, having a nice outfit on hand definitely wouldn’t hurt. “I had to go to Target for a pair of black pants and dress shoes the night before a speech,” senior Ben Backes said.

“I could have spent that time practicing if I had brought it with me in the beginning.”

1. PRINTER

“I brought all my favorite hoodies and T-shirts and ended up wearing the same two or three. You’ll get a bunch of free T-shirts at events too,” senior Brooke Nianick said.

Scoring a free printer with your MacBook is a great deal, but a huge perk of living in the residence halls is line-free access at the printing stations conveniently located in your building or quad.

“A bulky printer will take up room in your room,” senior Hannah Waltz said. “Plus, you can take advantage of the free 650 page print allowance you get each semester.”

3 1

2. YOUR ENTIRE DVD COLLECTION Though preserving your childhood by re-watching “The Little Mermaid” and “The Lion King” is always a great time, create new favorites by exploring the free DVD and CD rentals available in the residence halls.

“I loved being able to rent all five seasons of Dexter,” senior Cassi Kirk said.

3. SWEATSHIRT AND T-SHIRT OVERLOAD

4

Even though the dorm rooms have quite a bit of storage space, excess clothes can be a hassle.

4. HIGH SCHOOL LETTERMAN’S JACKET Though it may be tempting to show off what a stud you were in high school, college is a chance to start over and leave the high school gear at home.

“Joining the IU family gives you an chance to start fresh and wear cream and crimson,” senior Sarah Kusisto said.

5. THINGS YOU’RE NOT LIKELY TO USE Carefully consider which items are necessary and which could become dust collectors.

“I thought bringing my telescope down was a good idea but quickly figured out I was wrong,” senior Jory Kleemann said. “It took up way too much floor space, and recreationally learning astronomy was one of the first things I sacrificed.”

The sweet smell of (academic) success

IU provides students with opportunities to prepare for courses

BY CAITLIN RYAN ryancj@indiana.edu

Between the time freshmen attend orientation and the time they begin classes in the fall, is there anything that incoming students can do to prepare for college academics and the courses that await them?

INTENSIVE FRESHMAN SEMINARS Intensive Freshman Seminars (IFS) are a three-week program that takes place in August.

Through this program, students have the opportunity to take a college course and become acquainted with the campus before

thousands of other new students move to Bloomington.

“Anything students can do to start setting boundaries before the semester will be helpful for maintaining some discipline and a reasonable lifestyle when on campus,” said Dr. Lisa Thomassen, who teaches an IFS course.

OTHER RESOURCES Students may go to their resident assistant (RA), professors and advisers for help with the transition to college academics.

“To be successful academically, people need to be in charge of what they are doing and know how to do it,” University Division adviser Joyce Miller said.

“Don’t be afraid to ask ques-

tions. When you’re new, it’s important to ask enough questions to figure out what it is that you need to do.”

JUST RELAX “Frankly, I don’t think there is any way for incoming students to prepare for the remarkable adventure that awaits them at Indiana University,” telecommunications professor Michael McGregor said.

“My recommendations would be something like work hard, have fun, spend as much time with your friends in high school as you can.”

WHAT IS IMP? IMP is the Individualized Major Program. It allows students to pull from the major classes of multiple departments to create a custom course of study and a personalized major. Students have faculty and department sponsors, as well as IMP advisers to guide them, but it ultimately allows you to control your education.

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED? Many students apply during their sophomore and junior years, according to the program’s website, but you may apply as

early as second semester of your freshman year.

THE PROCESS The first step is to set up a meeting to discuss your ideas with the IMP assistant director. After that, you identify faculty sponsors and secure their approval, design a fouryear curriculum and participate in an admission interview. Then, you continue working on your major and B.A. requirements. The program culminates in a final project meant to show the skills you’ve gain.

Tips on how to have the best class schedule...ever.

BY LINDSEY ERDODY lerdody@indiana.edu

Listening, listening and more listening.

During day one of orientation, incoming freshmen hear from Residential Program Services, the Office of the Bursar and University Division, to name a few.

But day two is where it gets tricky.

Students have a onehour advising appointment and then are responsible for creating a schedule from the list of classes complied during this meeting.

It’s up to the students to make their schedule a successful one, but University Division advisers are there to help. “It’s a ‘step up’ moment,�

Joyce Miller, an assistant director of advising for UD, said. “We want to see kids get off to a good start.�

Miller shared several ways students can schedule for their classes with ease.

helpful if students have an idea about what they are interested in and what they want to study. “This needs to be a twoway conversation,� she said.

TAKE THE PLACEMENT TESTS AND THE RESULTS SERIOUSLY The tests are created by departments at IU and are good indicators about how well a student will do in a class, Miller said.

WAITLISTING A CLASS IS AN OPTION Miller said students should keep this in mind but warns that this doesn’t guarantee a spot in the class. “When you waitlist, you have to have an alternative plan in mind and in place,� she said.

DON’T SKIM THE READING DURING ORIENTATION It’s important for students to read the screens carefully because of the tiny differences between course numbers, Miller said.

BE FLEXIBLE WHEN SCHEDULING Miller said students need to realize they are taking classes full-time and their schedule might not turn out exactly how they wanted it.

SCHEDULES AREN’T SET IN STONE Students can make changes to their schedule if something isn’t working or interesting to them. Miller said she doesn’t encourage it, but it’s an option if necessary.

WALK YOUR SCHEDULE Make sure there are no surprises your first week by walking through your schedule before classes start, Miller said. This way, students will realize if 15 minutes is enough time in between classes or not. “Work that out before classes begin, so you know what you need to do.�

self,� Williams said. “Even if you’re not so social, it is very easy to make friends because so many people are trying to do the same.�

BE SOCIAL As you leave your high school, you remember the good times you had with the friends you made in your hometowns. However, coming to college provides you with the opportunity to meet new people and make new memories. Do what you can to meet new people. Who knows, maybe the friends forged here will become lifelong companions.

Junior Zachary Williams said it is important to use the dorm experience to meet new people. “Just go down your dorm hallway and introduce your-

DON’T FORGET, THIS IS SCHOOL Remember, college is meant to be as much a learning experience as it is a social experience. Spend just as much time studying as you do having a good time, and your experience will be great.

classes,� Burroughs said. “I had a different mindset that I wasn’t here just to socialize.�

Senior April Kline said the main problem she faced as a freshman was procrastination. “Don’t procrastinate and don’t party too much because it will just ruin your GPA,� she said.

JUST REMEMBER Freshman year can be difficult with tougher classes and adjusting to the college life. However, according to Burroughs, it can all seem easier by just blending in with the rest of the college population. “Just blend in. Don’t look so overwhelmed by everything,� Burroughs said. “Everything is going to be OK.�

Money: 6 TIPS TO FOLLOW TO KEEP LINCOLN AND JACKSON YOUR FRIENDS

1 Get a job. It’s a resume booster as well as a steady source of funds.

2 Check out psychology experiments and the Kinsey Institute for a chance to be a participant. Most pay a small sum.

3 Eat for free. Many meeings and programs offer free food at first, and you could find something you’re interested in.

4 Check online and in the paper for coupons and specials at local restaurants.

5 Ignore impulse shopping.

Wait a day or more to make a big purchase.

6 Use cash. Having something physical to hold in your hand allows you to easily keep track of how much money you are spending.

The college student’s most elusive item

BY KEVIN KNIGHT kevknigh@indiana.edu

In the famous words of Frank Hubbard, “The safe way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket.”

That might be one way to ensure that you are saving money, but these words might be lost on incoming freshman who have never had to care for their own personal finances. So how can a poor college student make it work? We have some tips to help you manage.

BUDGET Budgets are one of the most effective ways to plan how and where you are spending your money. Coming up with a plan and dividing your money among the things that you want to spend on is essential.

“Budgeting and self-control [are the best ways to keep yourself from overspending],” junior Luke Majors said. “Like knowing that you don’t always need that nice new shirt because you have to pay for books. Personally, I keep a set amount in my saving account in case of emergencies and never touch it.”

One suggestion is to split up your money using an envelope system. This means you could have five envelopes and put a category for spending on each — such as food, clothes, fun, books and savings.

SAVE ON CLOTHES Those expensive jeans or that new dress can be a drain on your bank account, but there are ways to get around this without breaking the bank.

“I shop at Plato’s closet and Goodwill,” senior Sarah Weaver said. “It’s cheap, and they usually have a lot of good stuff.”

Clothes that people don’t want or can’t have anymore usually end up at these two stores. Using a little creativity, you can use these clothes to put together that outfit that will get you noticed.

EAT CHEAP All those new restaurants can be tempting. Once you get sick of RPS, you’ll probably want a taste of Bloomington and want to go out to eat. Buying your own groceries can help satisfy this craving and save money.

“Going out gets really expensive really fast, and there are tons of really easy and cheap foods,” senior Joshua Jaffe said.

Buying in bulk helps tremendously as well. Each residence hall has a kitchen, so grab a couple of friends and put together a big meal and plan for leftovers.

“Buying your own groceries is expensive, but you get a lot more for your money out of it, including lunches for the next day,” sophomore Rita Cripe said.

“If you do go out though, try to save at least a little food, so you can have part of another meal or another meal with it. Eating out is really expensive and can add up quickly.”

SEE THE FREE ENTERTAINMENT The entertainment and shows can really make a dent in your savings too, but going to events, shows and programs doesn’t have to hit you where it hurts.

“For entertainment costs, cut them by using free stuff IU provides, such as a gym, plenty of space for sports, free shows, etc,” Jaffe said.

IU and Bloomington provide many free or discounted student events. There are programs sponsored by the IU Health center, RPS and various other campus organizations.

Even the IU Auditorium’s usher corps program is a good idea.

If you serve for a few hours as an usher, you can see most shows for free. The IMU also has free movies, comedy and improv shows.

RABI ABONOUR | IDS

FREE THINGS WE WISH WE KNEW ABOUT SHOWS While the IU Auditorium headliners aren’t free, plenty of student and community shows are. To see a list of free events, visit the Auditorium’s website. If you just have to see a headliner or traveling Broadway act, volunteer as an usher and see it for free.

COMEDY Student comedy troupes - Full Frontal Comedy, Awkward Silence Comedy, HoosOnFirst Improv, All Sorts of Trouble for the Boy in the Bubble and University tWits perform improv and sketches at the IMU. ART Opening receptions for exhibits in the School of Fine Arts are free to the public and include finger foods like cheese and crackers.

DVDS The IU libraries house approximately 20,500 DVDs. To search for titles and find out where the item is located, visit iucat. iu.edu.

MOVIES Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, the IMU shows a recently released film. Showtimes begin at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

HEALTH The Health Center offers a free session witht a dietician, free sessions to kick the smoking habit and best of all, free condoms.

YOUR RESUME Get a little help with the job search and resume writing at the Career Development Center. Visit the website for tips and examples or drop in between 12:30 and 4 p.m. at 625 N. Jordan Ave. SOFTWARE Visit the UITS website to download free versions of popular and usually pricey software such as Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office.

NEWS All student publications are offered free on campus, as well as the New York Times and USA Today. You can also stop by the Kelley School of Business for a free copy of the Wall Street Journal.

WORKOUTS If you’re bored of the treadmill, check out free Zumba and kickboxing sessions, just a couple of the many free workout classes offered at the SRSC. CONVENIENCE You paid for it with your student fees, but we think of the bus system and print quota, 650 pages for undergraduates and 1,000 for graduates, as free luxuries.

MUSIC The Jacobs School of Music presents about 1,100 performances each year, most of which are free. This is a great way to impress a date at no cost. *SOURCE: INside Magazine , a quarterly IU Student Media Publication

Welcome to IU from your Dean of Students

Dr. Harold “Pete” Goldsmith came to IU as the Dean of Students in 2009.

In this position, he is responsible for the Division of Student Affairs, which is dedicated to enriching students’ educational experiences. Dr. Goldsmith received both his Bachelor of Arts degree and a Doctorate in Higher Education Administration from IU. As a Hoosier alumnus, here is his advice on excelling at IU.

Dear New Student, As you begin at IU, you will be challenged as never before. College is not a spectator sport. The more effort you put into it, the richer and more meaningful your education will be.

There are many people here to help you; there are many opportunities to get involved. Choose to become involved with those people who can add to your education and become involved in those things that will take you toward your goals.

Do not be afraid to ask questions or to ask for help.

Most of all, enjoy the IU experience.

ADD THESE ITEMS TO YOUR DECORATING LIST

We talked to IU students who have lived in the residence halls to hear their suggestions on decorating.

Here’s their advice.

GIRLS DEVYN BRADY, junior Major Interior design Tip Picture frames “The greatest décor I had was pictures of my family and friends since the first year is the hardest.”

Where to find it Brady suggests going to Bed Bath & Beyond for the best deals and to Urban Outfitters or IKEA for unique styles.

NAOMI GEMMELL, senior Major Music Tip Lights “Lighting is key in the dorms because otherwise it’s depressing with the florescent lights all winter” Where to find it Gemmell suggests Target or anywhere cheap.

AMANDA CORMAN, senior Major Elementary education Tip Bulletin board “A bulletin board for pictures and reminders.”

Where to find it Target. She also suggests making your own by putting material over some kind of backing.

GUYS KELLEN MURPHY, senior Major Exercise science Tip Be original “Everyone usually goes for the Bob Marley theme, but I like to go more original and just find the most interesting yet confusing design poster.”

Where to find it Murphy suggests checking Greetings on Kirkwood for ideas.

COREY GROVE, junior Major Marketing Tips Cool lighting “I would say the best thing to get is lights. Black lights, strobes, whatever. And get some posters, specifically ones that would look sick in their lighting.”

Where to find it Spencer’s DAVE HARTMAN, senior Major Business economic consulting and public policy Tip A TV “At least one of the roommates should either bring a TV from home or spend some money on one. I dropped a lot on a nice TV.” Where to find it Target or Walmart — somewhere with good deals.

» STUDY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 56 “I like to study at Starbucks because it’s not too quiet and it’s not too loud,” Green said. “In my (dorm) room I get too distracted, and the library is too quiet. It seems kind of tense in the library. But in Starbucks, there are people moving around and talking, but they are not necessarily people you know who you’re going to talk to.”

Unlike some of her classmates, Green said she enjoys background noise and wasn’t easily distracted by the sounds of coffee being made, the chatter of the students and music. She said the atmosphere relaxed her and allowed her to concentrate on her work without being anxious or stressed.

“Some people need absolute silence to study, but I don’t really need that,” Green said.

CAMPUS LIBRARIES Just as Green needed noise to loosen her up as she did her homework, 2010 graduate Robert Barnell preferred the solitary space and quiet ambiance of libraries, choosing to study mainly in the Wells and School of Public and Environmental Affairs libraries. Barnell stopped in several times a day between and

after classes, valuing convenience and absolute silence when he was working, he said.

“Between classes, I’ll go to whatever library is nearest,” Barnell said.

“A lot of people seem to not go (to the SPEA library), so it’s not super crowded. I like how they have windows, and it’s an interesting building.”

While Barnell enjoyed the SPEA library, he would switch locations if he was working on a larger assignment.

“I go to SPEA just for day-to-day things,” Barnell said. “When I have a really big paper, I’ll go to Wells to the second floor of the West Tower.”

DORM ROOMS While some students prefer to leave the distracting space of their own dorm rooms, other students favor the convenience and companionship of studying with friends.

2011 graduate Leah Myhre said she dislikes areas with constant noise, such as the Starbucks in the IMU, and the quiet atmosphere of the library. Rating convenience as a main priority, she said she would stay in her dorm to study in the company of friends.

“If it’s something small that has to be completed for the next day and doesn’t require a lot of focused

Orienter 2012

attention, then I like to study with friends,” Myhre said. “I think it creates a fun, energetic atmosphere that keeps me awake to do my homework.”

However, if she had an upcoming paper or project that required more consideration than her daily work, then Myhre said she would leave her dorm to visit the library.

“If I have to work on a paper or do a huge project, then I like to do it alone or maybe with one other person who’s doing the same work in the library so I’m more focused and concentrating,” she said.

OTHER STUDY SPOTS AROUND CAMPUS The Arboretum This is the perfect spot when the weather is nice to study solo or work on homework with a group of friends.

The South Lounge Located next to the Starbucks in the IMU, this lounge, nicknamed “The Quiet Room,” offers a quiet atmosphere that’s not the library.

Residence hall lounges Studying in your residence hall lounge gets you out of your dorm room while maintaining the convenience of studying where you live.

Upperclassmen give tips on living with a roommate LEFT Nicole Jakubowicz takes a picture of her roommate at Teter Quad.

IDS FILE PHOTOS

Whenever senior Sarah Leavesley would walk into her room, her roommate would be working out in the middle of the floor. The whole place smelled like body odor.

It might sound like a horror story, but roommates and the interesting stories that they provide us are part of the college experience. Though most stories are funny and can be laughed at later, they can also be hard to handle.

Don’t worry, though. Most situations can be handled with a little adjustment, and we’ve got the tips below.

One important tip is to set guidelines and boundaries from the beginning. This sets the

tone early and gives you something to fall back on if things go awry. It can also help ease differences.

Senior Michelle Ross has these kinds of issues with her roommate.

“She lived 3 hours away and didn’t go home much,” Ross said.

“When I would come back to school after going home for the weekend, I would find all of my stuff messed with. One big difference and another breaking point for our roommate issues was the religious, alcohol and smoking differences.”

At the residence halls, you are required to fill out a roommate agreement form that takes care of this step, but this form must be taken seriously or it won’t help you when conflict arises.

It’s also important to keep your

emotions in check and remain level-headed. Seeking revenge, like junior Chris Parr, can only escalate the problem.

“My freshman roommate would have his computer play music all night,” Parr said. “I asked him several times if it could be turned off or turned down because I couldn’t sleep with it on. He said he would put it on a timer, but he never did, so I deleted his sound drive. The best part is that he thought his brother hacked onto his computer from home and messed with the settings.”

Like in any good relationship, communication is key. Keep in mind that it is a two-way street. You have to listen when they talk, and they need to listen when you talk.

If things do get really bad, however, use your resources. Junior

Kate Olsson had a roommate involved with IUPD. “My roommate ... missed a payment or wasn’t paying for housing or something like that, but RPS representatives and even IUPD would stop during the day asking where she was,” she said.

Each floor has a resident assistant and each center has a manager. If things get bad, request a meeting with your RA. He or she can sit in on a discussion with your roommate and help mediate. This is part of the job description.

Still, most roommate issues aren’t as serious as you think and can even be funny.

Right before she moved out, senior Alicia Smith and her roommate had everything cleaned.

the room was all my stuff packed in a pile on the floor,” she said. “My roommate comes in with a 12 pack of ginger ale and was wondering what to do with it. One by one, the cans come rolling out of her arms and onto the floor, where they each begin to explode one by one. Everything got splattered by ginger ale — ceiling, walls, mirror, all my stuff, us, literally everything.”

They had to start the cleaning process all over again.

Most RAs say roommate issues can be solved by one thing: respect.

“Big issues among roommates that cause conflict are shared spaces like fridges and such, different cultures and being sensitive to that, and sleep times and noise levels,” Luke Majors, a McNutt RA, said.

“These are some common stories that I hear.”

CONS Finding free books online often only works for novels or classics. Also, if you order your books online, you have to wait for them to arrive.

STUDENTS SAY “Most of the books I need are novels, so if I can find them online for free using the Gutenberg Project or something, then I don’t buy them,” senior Betsy Stout said. “If I can’t, then I buy them in person at T.I.S. or a regular bookstore so that I can have them in my hand right away.”

SHOULD I GET E-BOOKS? Once you’ve decided whether you want to buy online or rent, you can also choose whether you’d like traditional books or e-books, which can be read and treatment of a musculoskeletal injury with the goal of resolving pain and restoring function so the student can return to his or her highest function in school or any other kind of physical activity.

on a portable device, like a Kindle or a NOOK. However, most of them are formatted to be read on a computer screen.

Bicycles are a common form of transportation for the IU community. Bicycles operated or parked on the IU Bloomington Campus must be registered with Parking Operations and display a registration permit. For more information please contact parking.indiana.edu.

PROS Having an eTextbook on your computer saves some space and weight in your backpack.

CONS Looking at a computer all the time can be a bad habit, especially for your eyes.

STUDENTS SAY “I always use eTextbooks,” graduate student Dhairya Gala said.

“I download the PDF and I can take it anywhere with me. The only con that I see is that sometimes when you want to refer to another section in the book, you have to scroll up and down instead of flipping the pages, which can be irritating.”

Depression, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, sexual issues, substance abuse and problems of academic functioning are some of the concerns students often address through counseling.

CAPS is located on the fourth floor of the health center.

The IU Health Center is located at 600 N. Jordan Ave. Hours of operation are Monday and Thursday 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Health Center is also open on some select Saturdays during the fall and spring semesters from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

An after-hours telephone service is also available Monday through Friday 5-11 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

UITS provides tips to keep you, your computer protected

BY LINDSEY ERDODY lerdody@indiana.edu

Moving into to campus involves more than putting clothes away and setting up the mini refrigerator.

Students also need to set up the Internet on their computers, learn how and where to print those upcoming assignments and know how to keep

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS Rondot suggests students run Get Connected (getconnected. iu.edu) before coming to campus, so then it only takes a few minutes once getting to campus. He said doing this will also set up a wireless connection.

HOW TO

PASS YOUR HONORS SEMINAR

KEEP YOUR COMPUTER SAFE Rondot suggests running antivirus software and OS updates and being sure not to click suspicious links or give out your username and password.

Go to keepitsafe.iu.edu for more information about safe computer habits.

...or that 8 a.m. Finite class, that lecture from your dry professor, or Organic Chemistry. Let’s face it, there are some difficult courses at IU. Here are some tips to guarantee good grades in any class.

GO TO CLASS This is the easiest thing you can do to improve your grade. While some professors post lecture slides online, many important details and facts (that usually show up on exams) are only discussed in class. Attending class also allows you to ask any question you had over the material. Many professors also use class attendance as a factor in final grades.

SIT TOWARD THE FRONT Although the average class size at IU is 36 students, some classes are pretty darn huge (Woodburn 100 can seat up to 420 students). Rather than strain to hear what your econ professor is saying from the back of a 100-student lecture, choose to sit in the first three rows. Not only will you be able to hear the lecture better and take more accurate notes, but the professor will be able to recognize your face in the sea of students.

FIND A FRIEND This could be your roommate or someone you see only twice a week in class. But having a study buddy is another easy resource to hold you accountable for doing your work and to talk about what you learned in class.

their laptops safe.

Charles Rondot, manager of University IT Communications, offered a variety of tips and important information for incoming freshmen.

He suggested visiting the custom portal first at nu2it.iu.edu/iub and offered more advice for students setting up their computers and learning how to use campus Internet.

PRINTING PROCEDURES In addition to the printing quota every student gets, UITS asks all to only print 50 pages at a time, to not reuse paper in the printers and to not use special paper, labels or transparencies.

For a list of computer labs on campus, visit: stcweb.stc.indiana. edu/framework/apps/public/SiteRes/LabInfo.cfm.

STILL NEED HELP? UITS provides support 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 812-8556789, or at ithelplive.iu.edu or email help at ithelp@iu.edu. Walk-up help is available at the UITS Support Center in Herman B Wells Library.

Hours for the support center are 8 a.m. to midnight Mon. through Thurs., 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fri., noon to 5 p.m. Sat. and noon to midnight Sun. For other answers to technical problems, visit the UITS Knowledge Base at kb.iu.edu.

REVIEW YOUR SYLLABUS The first week of classes is when these handy papers are passed out outlining grade structure, attendance policy, class projects and weekly topics. Make sure to review each class syllabus and put important exam and due dates in your calendar so you don’t forget about a project or skip class the day of a test.

KNOW THYSELF Do you like silence or noise when you study? Do you need convenient access to coffee or snacks? Do you study better alone or in a group?

Do you focus more early in the day or late at night? Figuring out what environment you work best in is key to efficient study sessions. Read p. 56 for our favorite study spots around campus, or discover your own.

GET ACADEMIC SUPPORT There are three Academic Support Centers located around campus in Teter, Forest and Briscoe residence halls. These centers provide group and individual tutorials, study groups, study tables and Writing Tutorial Services, as well as offer academic advising and workshops on study skills. Best of all, these services are free.

GO TO OFFICE HOURS Every professor is required to hold weekly office hours, but many students forget to take advantage of this resource. Who better to go over material for that upcoming exam or ask questions about that lecture than the person who is teaching it to you? Professors are also a prime resource for letters of recommendation when you’re applying for internships and jobs. Establishing a good relationship with a professor in your field will come in handy not just for academic success, but for your future career as well.
