For me, it was when I joined the IDS and committed myself to a career in journalism. For you, it could be something completely different.

Herman B Wells was the president of IU for 25 years, from 1938 until 1962, and expanded the University from 11,000 students to more than 31,000 at the time of his retirement. After his retirement, he became the chancellor of the University, a position created expressly for him, which he held until his death in 2000. Wells fell in love with the University during his college career in the 1920s, said James Capshew, IU faculty member and Wells biographer. “He wanted to dedicate his life to the University,” Capshew said. Wells’ legacy is still intact, present in legend and in the campus he helped build. “He would walk all the pathways at night with a book,” said Jeric Tumang, IU alumnus and former campus tour guide. “And wherever he couldn’t read, he would mark the spot with a stake and a light would go up within a week.” Wells was often seen walking around campus and interacting with students and faculty, Tumang said. “He would meet them on their own level and challenge them,” Capshew said. “He had a feeling for how people worked and how they responded.” He personally signed the diploma of every single student who graduated from IU in his 25 years as president, 62,621 diplomas total,
according to “Herman B Wells: The Promise of the American University,” written by Capshew. In his final speech as president, Wells said, “In the act of signing I felt some individual participation in the joy and satisfaction of each graduate.” Wells believed in the “brotherhood of humanity” and social justice, advocating for equality across campus. “He created living spaces to include minorities,” Tumang said. “And he fought for equality in the residence halls.” In addition to his human legacy, Wells’ influence can be seen on a walk across campus. “Wells looked at the campus as a work of art,” Capshew said. “He was the architect of the modern university.” Wells’ influence can also be seen in the spacious design of the Tudor Room, the preservation of green spaces on campus, and particularly in the Fine Arts Plaza, Capshew said. “The Fine Arts Plaza was his baby,” Capshew said. “He built it all between 1940 and 1982, he had this vision for IU from his presidency to his chancellorship.” Wells planned ahead for the University, Capshew said. “IU was 167 acres at the start of his term, and at the end it was 1800 acres,” Capshew said. “He was looking ahead for future expansion.” Through it all, Wells stayed dedicated to IU. “He felt that the University didn’t belong to him, he felt that he belonged to the University,” Capshew said.

The statues of campus Learn about some of IU’s statues and their history By Robert Mack rsmack@iu.edu
Sundial A remnant from the original IU campus at Seminary Square in downtown Bloomington, the sundial, which now lies in the crescent between Maxwell Hall and the Frances Morgan Swain Student Building, was erected in 1868. It was used to mark time according to where the sun was. It was moved to the Dunn’s Woods campus in 1896, 13 years after much of the Seminary Square campus burned down. The sundial is where Mathilda and Otto Klopsch, both graduates of the class of 1896, met. They were married in 1896, the year the sundial was finally moved. In remembrance of where they first met, they were given permission by former President William Lowe Bryan to spread their ashes on the Old Crescent timepiece. A plaque by the sundial reminds visitors where the couple began its romance. Ernie Pyle by Harold Langland Harold “Tuck” Langland’s statue near the Sample Gates of IU alumnus and noted World War II journalist Ernie Pyle was commissioned in 2013 for the inauguration of the Media School. It was dedicated the following year on
homecoming weekend. Langland, an IU-South Bend professor, portrayed a bronze, life-sized Pyle at his typewriter wearing a bomber jacket, helmet and goggles. A coffee cup is nearby. According to “Indiana University Bloomington: America’s Legacy Campus,” the statue is meant to “convey how Pyle worked alongside foot soldiers at the front during World War II.” Just before finishing his degree, Pyle left IU to pursue a career in journalism, eventually becoming a war correspondent. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his first-person stories about infantry soldiers on World War II battlefields. He died when he was hit by machine gun fire during the Battle of Okinawa in Japan. When speaking about Pyle, former U.S. President Harry Truman said that, “No man in this war has so well told the story of the American fighting man as American fighting men wanted it told.” Indiana Arc by Charles Perry The giant, red 21-foot Indiana Arc, situated by the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art, was dedicated in 1995. It was commissioned to stand aside of architect I.M. Pei’s art museum and to honor the presidency of Thomas Ehrlich, according to “Indiana University Bloomington: America’s Legacy Campus.” Perry, whose work can be seen around the world including Singapore, Saudi Arabia and the National Air and Space Museum in

June,” according to McAuley’s own description. McAuley unveiled his statue of Carmichael at the Indy Jazz Fest in Bloomington in 2007. After obtaining his law degree from IU in 1926, Carmichael became a key figure in the American music scene. Among the Oscar winner’s notable compositions are “Georgia on my Mind,”“In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening” and “Chimes of Indiana,” which was inspired by the ringing bells from IU’s student building, according to “Indiana University Bloomington: America’s Legacy Campus.”

An introduction to the IU Police Department IU Police Department chief Laury Flint offers tips on how to be safe and keep others safe during your time at IU. BY CAMERON DRUMMOND cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97
It's important you feel safe and are safe during your time here at IU. The IU Police Department operates on campus with a fleet of 13 vehicles and 40 full-time officers, in addition to around 60 part-time officers and cadets. Plenty of resources are also available from IU to help keep you safe. The Indiana Daily Student spoke with IUPD Chief Laury Flint to learn more about the department and how students should stay safe.
Q: What is IUPD? We are a police department, so 24/7, 365, we will respond. We have the typical emergency line, 911, we have an administrative line for non-emergencies if they have a question (812-855-4111). I would want them to know that regardless of where they came from, we are a university police department. Our population is mainly between the ages of 18 and 22, and the challenges that presents, we understand that. We also understand that a lot of people are on their own for the first time without any parental supervision or guidance, and
we know that they're going to make mistakes. We are not here to make arrests and fill quotas. We have no quotas. Basically, what we're here for Laury Flint is to make sure they safely get from point A when they arrive to point B when they leave campus to go out in the real world and do great things.
Q: What are the most important safety options for freshmen to know since they will be living on campus for the first time? Probably our most common crime on campus is theft. Theft is a crime of opportunity and when you have a lot of people in a condensed area. I think the important thing to remember is to keep your things with you. Make sure — you and your roommate — when the room is empty, the door is locked. If you're going to be gone, leave your property locked up.
Q: What are the most important resources from IUPD freshmen should know about?
We offer a lot of classes, a lot of training. Probably one that’s pretty popular right now is our active aggressor training. We would like to encourage people to look at that, but if there are any questions or they want something a little more in-depth, we’d be more than willing to come in and do training for active aggressor. We also have self-defense classes, anywhere from one hour to the 12-hour rape aggression defense class. We want to be a resource for them. If they have questions, feel free to approach us. We have live-in officers at most of the dormitories. We want to be approachable.
and we’ll respond. You can also make phone calls from those and it doesn’t cost you any money.
Q: What are the blue lights?
I want to make sure that people stay in control. We understand that they are 18- to 22-year-olds, typically unsupervised for the first time in their lives, making their own decisions, and some of those decisions are not going to be good ones. We understand that. But staying in control and taking care of each other. The Culture of Care is a huge student initiative on campus and it’s taken very seriously. If you could take care of each other, and if it gets to the point where you can’t take care of someone, do the right thing and make the phone call.
The blue lights are scattered around campus, we try to have some coordination with this being in or near areas that are a little more remote, but there are a lot of them that are in frequented areas too. All you have to do is press the large red button and it rings directly to 911. Our officers will respond and our response time in an emergency typical averages less than three minutes. We can get to places really fast. If you press the red button, you don’t even have to say anything, the location rings directly to 911
Q: What is the safe ride program? The safe ride program is offered from on-campus to on-campus locations and off-campus to on-campus locations and viceversa during specific hours, which goes into the wee hours of the morning. It’s free and there’s always a male and a female driver-passenger combination.
Q: Do you have any advice or guidance for ways for freshmen to stay safe?

Packing: What freshmen need to know WHAT TO BRING Picture frames Always being able to look at a picture on your desk of your family or high school friends may be the boost you need while studying for classes and exams.
Mattress pad You might find that the mattress in your new dorm is uncomfortable. Using a mattress or memory foam pad may help you get a better night’s sleep.
Alarm clock The horror stories are real. Yes, many people in college use their phones as alarms and sometimes they choose to not go off the morning of a huge midterm exam. Don’t take your chances. Setting a backup alarm clock is a good idea.
Laundry bag Most laundry rooms are in the basement of the dorms. Make sure you have a laundry bag or basket to transport dirty laundry. Fans
There are usually no ceiling fans in dorm rooms, and if you’re moving into a dorm without air conditioning, it can get very hot in the early Fall and late Spring. Be prepared.
Powerstrips There might not enough electrical outlets in each room, and they might be in inconvenient spots. Having an extension cord and power strip will ensure everything is plugged in and ready for your first day.
First aid kit & medication Advil and Dayquil will save you when you are sick. Make sure you stock up on basic overthe-counter medications before move-in day. You will find it impossible to get out of bed when you’re sick to go shop. IDS FILE PHOTO
Shower caddy & shoes
WHAT NOT TO BRING
Use shower shoes to stay hygienic, and bring a shower caddy to transport any toiletries you need to the shower.
Fancy Clothes
Desk lamp If your roommate is going to sleep and you need to stay up late to study, a desk lamp will come in handy.
Closet space is valuable, and most evenings spent with friends will not call for formal wear. A single set of nice clothes will be enough.
necklace to go to finite in the morning.
Candles Candles, as nice as they are, aren’t allowed in dorm rooms. They are a fire hazard.

Know what to do in downtown Bloomington When you need a break from homework, downtown Bloomington has plenty to offer. Here are just a few options. BY BRYAN BRUSSEE arts@idsnews.com
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Buskirk-Chumley Theater One of the busiest community theaters in the country, the Buskirk-Chumley plays host to film screenings, live music performances, standup comedy, dance and community events. A downtown attraction since 1922, it’s especially lively in the fall when it welcomes international musicians as part of Bloomington’s Lotus World Music and Arts Festival.
The Comedy Attic Located at the corner of fourth street and Walnut street, The Comedy Attic brings comedians from around the country to Bloomington to perform standup routines. The venue also is used by comedians during the Limestone Comedy Festival in Bloomington during the first weekend of June. Comedy-lovers will also find a food menu available.
The Bishop A great place for reasonably priced shows, plenty of which are open to anyone 18 and older, the Bishop books an impressive variety of local and national artists. Past performers include drone metal pioneers Earth and emo darlings the Appleseed Cast. For those with deep record collections and shallow wallets, there’s no better place for live music.
RESTAURANTS King Dough Your friends will tell you Mother Bear’s has the best pizza in town. Others will say Pizza X or a host of other places. Pizza fiends yearning for Neapolitan pizza need look no further than King Dough. Its thin-crusted, artfully-topped pizzas are among the best in the Midwest.
IDS FILE PHOTO
Village Deli This diner located on Kirkwood Avenue is known for its massive pancakes and plentiful portions of eggs, waffles and everything in between. The Village Deli is known as a weekend breakfast tradition for Bloomington residents, as well as IU students. IU fans usually pack the restaurant prior to home football games.
BuffaLouie’s Established in 1987, BuffaLouie’s is regarded as the go-to place for wings among IU students. Located just outside of the Sample Gates along Indiana Avenue, the restaurant moved to its current location after starting out on 17th street. The burgers, fries and wings offered at BuffaLouie’s are favorites for many IU students and faculty members, and its proximity makes it the ideal lunch spot.
SHOPPING Vintage Phoenix While your intro to American literature course will probably have you slogging through the classics, make some time to enjoy what you read at Vintage Phoenix Comic Books. It’s a haven for students looking to supplement their college-regimented diets of Herman Melville with Grant Morrison.
Cactus Flower Used and vintage clothing enthusiasts should check out Cactus Flower. Make an afternoon out of the trip with a stop by Laughing Planet for burritos and Soma for a cup of coffee, both located in the same building. I reiterate: Clothes, burritos, coffee. What more could you want?
Landlocked Records Money is always tight in college, but you shouldn’t let that stop you from checking out the outstanding selection of new and used vinyl and CDs stocked at Landlocked Music. This great record store is also a hub for music fans, frequently scheduling listening parties and in-store performances in support of new records.
The Book Corner For more than 50 years, The Book Corner has been a convenient location for locals and IU students alike to indulge themselves in the world of literature. Located on North Walnut Street, the store sells a variety of books spanning countless genres, and also features a wide selection of greeting cards and magazines.

Campus through the year IU is known for its lush scenery and limestone architecture. It’s ranked among the most beautiful college campuses in the country. Here’s a sneak peek at the seasons to come from the Arbutus yearbook.
KATIE FRANKE/ARBUTUS
Fall Changing leaves fill the Old Crescent area of campus behind the Sample Gates in 2016. Autumn months are marked by cooler temperatures and colorful foliage.
Winter The Jordan River runs through a snowy Dunn Meadow in 2018. Average high temperatures during the winter months are in the upper 30s and lows are in the 20s — but they go lower and higher. It’s important to wear hats, gloves and layers of clothes for long walks through campus. ANDREW WILLIAMS/ARBUTUS
Spring Trees blossom outside the Wildermuth Intramural Center in 2013. The IU Arboretum, on 10th Street between the Wildermuth Center and the Herman B Wells Library, is a relaxing place to take in the campus scenery. During March, April and May, high temperatures can range from the 50s to the 70s.
ANDREW WILLIAMS/ARBUTUS
Summer Students Leah Allison and Brandon Myers share a moment amid the greenery by the Showalter Fountain in 2016. The Campus Site and Landscape Services Division maintains the grounds which features wooded areas, a changing display of flowers and an expansive range of trees throughout campus. Trees can be donated and planted on campus with a plaque featuring the donor’s name or the person being honored. For information on tree donations, visit indiana.edu/~landscap/tree-donor. Summer months in Bloomington can be hot and humid with average highs in the 80s.

Sticker statements
The Arbutus yearbook asked students about their favorite laptop stickers PHOTOS BY ANDREW WILLIAMS AND KAYLEIGH DANCE
WHERE DID THE FEATURED STUDENTS GET THEIR STICKERS?
DEVIN TURNER Sophomore “I really like my Muhammad Ali stickers because he’s my idol, and I thought these ones matched really well and looked cool. I put them on my laptop for self-expression, and because some of them are really funny.”
SARAH DOLAN Sophomore “My laptop was plain, so I decided to decorate it. They all keep the same theme, which I think is cool. Obviously, it’s food.”
SARAH KAWAMLEH Sophomore “I actually got them from SGIS (School of Global and International Studies). They had a booth at the beginning of the year, and were handing them out. I speak Arabic and I can relate to it. It’s just really cool for IU to hand out stickers like this.”

IU sports to watch during the 2018-19 season Here are three Hoosier teams to watch for on the courts and fields. BY MURPHY WHEELER jonmwhee@iu.edu | @murph_wheelerIU
Women’s Basketball A banner will be raised in honor of the IU women’s basketball team during the 201819 season. In front of a record-breaking home crowd of 13,007 fans, the Hoosiers defeated Virginia Tech in the 2018 WNIT Championship game on March 31. It was the first championship of any kind for the program and will give Coach Teri Moren and her team plenty of momentum heading into the future. Despite the graduation of two of the greatest players in program history, Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill, the Hoosiers should have plenty of firepower coming back for next season. Leading the way will be two young budding stars in sophomore guards Jaelynn Penn and Bendu Yeaney, both of whom finished last season on a strong note. Penn was selected for the Big Ten AllFreshman team and was IU’s third leading scorer at 10.8 points per game. Meanwhile, Yeaney averaged 8.4 points of her own. Both are players that can dominate on both the

offensive and defensive sides of the floor. IU will also be bringing back a third starter in senior forward Kym Royster, who averaged 10.2 points and six rebounds this season. They’ll also be bringing in two talented transfers in senior Brenna Wise

tournament. There, they lost in devastating fashion in a 1-0 double-overtime thriller to Stanford. IU will look to bounce back in 2018 as it brings back a number of key contributors to last year’s team. Headlining that group will be the likes of sophomore goalkeeper Trey Muse, sophomore midfielder Griffin Dorsey and senior defender Andrew Gutman. The 2018 regular season will begin Aug. 24, when the Hoosiers will travel to WinstonSalem, North Carolina, to take on Wake Forest in their season opener.
While the women’s basketball team will be riding high off of its championship season, the men’s soccer team will be looking for redemption. After a successful regular season that the Hoosiers finished with an impressive 18-1-6 record, 2017 ended in heartbreak for Coach Todd Yeagley’s squad. The Hoosiers advanced to the NCAA Championship game in Philadelphia on Dec. 10 after taking down Old Dominion, New Hampshire, Michigan State and North Carolina in the first four rounds of the
Do you have global vision? Then learn the language and cultural skills to match! IU has one of the top German programs in the nation. Germanic Studies is your passport to a future with the planet in mind. New Combined BA/MA Become A German Pathway Student The German Studies Pathway to a five-year B.A./M.A. degree will provide students with options for careers in the private or public sector. Advanced competence in the language, history, and culture of German-speaking Europe will make students highly competitive for employment in the global economy, green technology, teaching, the military or foreign service. Alone or combined with College programs such as LAMP, PACE, or coursework in the School of Global and International Studies, students will be positioned for jobs in U.S.-based multinationals as well as industries, banks, and research and cultural centers in German-speaking Europe. The combined degree is also ideal preparation for advanced degrees in international law or schools of public policy and business.
Dutch, Norwegian, Yiddish We have one of the oldest and largest Dutch programs in the US. As global models for healthcare, education, and economics, Scandinavian countries inspire policy-makers and global leaders. As a major American heritage language, Yiddish is a cornerstone of Jewish Studies and American Cultural Studies.

IU celebrates after junior midfielder Cory Thomas scores a goal in the first half against New Hampshire in the third round of the NCAA tournament at Bill Armstrong Stadium. IU defeated New Hampshire, 2-1, to advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament. IU lost the National Championship game to Stanford.
Men’s Basketball There’s a lot of national buzz surrounding the IU men’s basketball program after the commitment of five-star recruit Romeo Langford out of New Albany, Indiana. Langford will join an IU squad that finished last season with a 16-15 overall record and 9-9 in Big Ten play. It resulted in the Hoosiers missing out on postseason play in Coach Archie Miller’s first year in Bloomington, after he took over for former Coach Tom Crean, who was fired after the 2016-17 season. Langford is the biggest name in Miller’s heralded first recruiting class at IU, which also features guards Robert Phinisee and Damezi Anderson and forwards Jerome Hunter and Jake Forrester. They’ll also be joining a returning group of players that features some of IU’s most
productive contributors from last season. Senior forward Juwan Morgan was named Second Team All-Big Ten after leading the Hoosiers in scoring and rebounding, averaging 16.5 points and 7.4 rebounds. Meanwhile, junior center De’Ron Davis averaged 9.6 points and 4.3 rebounds before going down with a season-ending injury midway through the year, and sophomore forward Justin Smith came on strong by the end of the season, averaging 6.5 points and 3.2 rebounds. Miller should have plenty of depth on his hands, as he’ll also bring back senior guard and defensive specialist Zach McRoberts, junior guard Devonte Green and sophomore guard Al Durham, who all received major minutes in 2017-18.

How to get involved with student groups IU’s campus is huge, and the sheer size of the undergraduate population can be intimidating. If you’re trying to find your “people” in the masses, checking out some of IU’s more than 750 student organizations might be the way to go. Student groups range from language circles to professional interest groups and draw on subjects like politics, service, religion, academics and sports. And you’d be surprised how specific they get — look into the Harry Potter Society or the Obstacle Course Racing Club. Even if you don’t find a group that suits your style, you can always create one yourself. As great as having hundreds of student organizations is, the number can be overwhelming. These are some of the ways you can find your place on campus.
The Student Involvement Fair
IDS FILE PHOTO
The Student Involvement Fair takes place each fall for student organizations in Dunn Meadow.
North & South Indian Cuisine
Every fall, student organizations flood Dunn Meadow to represent their groups and attract new members. The open field transforms into a maze of tables to navigate, ask questions and interact with current members of organizations. Peer Involvement Mentors and Student Life and Learning staff will be available to help you, and call-out meetings throughout the week will give you a taste for what a group is like.
beINvolved If you missed the fair or are just looking to try something out mid- or late-semester, sign in to beINvolved.indiana.edu with your IU username and password and sift through some of their featured opportunities. The site is an easy way to stay updated with campus activities and manage the organizations you’re a part of.
Sidewalk chalk Rain or shine, warm or below freezing, students advertise their meetings and group events with sidewalk chalk. Look down any time of the year to find every inch of the pavement covered with bright messages during Welcome Week.
Bulletin boards There are boards all across classroom buildings, outside and even in local restaurants that will advertise activities throughout the year.
Start your own It’s easy to create your own student group at IU — just fill out the Student Organization form on beINvolved through the “Organizations” tab. If it interests you, it probably interests others, too.

It doesn’t have to be scary: Freshman year tips BY ANICKA SLACHTA news@idsnews.com
A completely new environment is tough to adjust to, and trying to navigate a college lifestyle for the first time is bound to come with some mistakes. Below are some rules to stick to if you’re looking for a smooth transition.
Have an agenda system, and stick to it. Don’t be that person who shows up for class and has to ask for paper and a pen every day. Nobody likes that person, and there are only so many times you can pass your irresponsibility off as a quirky personality trait. You never know when your professor is going to drop deadlines on you, and not all important dates are always on the class syllabus. Whether you pick up an agenda at Barnes and Noble or use an app, keep it close and keep it updated. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re searching through scraps of paper in your backpack to find out where you
scribbled the due date for your sociology term paper.
Find your people. Friends are a lifeline when you’re trying to balance class work, homesickness and some kind of social life. They understand calling at 3 a.m. when you’re pulling an allnighter — your little sister probably doesn’t. They won’t judge you (too harshly) for eating nothing but cereal out of the box that entire night. Finding your people can be easy, especially with such a big campus. Talk to someone next to you in class, try to be civil with your roommate, actually talk to people at your floor meetings. Student organizations are one of the best ways to meet new people who share your interests, and there’s a surplus of them on campus.
ing deadlines. If you want to plan ahead for finals, it’ll be a lot easier if you aren’t surprised when suddenly they’re only a week away. And don’t forget your days off : Labor Day is Sept. 3, fall break runs from Oct. 5-7, and you have the entire week of Thanksgiving off. Having the bigger dates in your planner can help you better manage your time throughout the semester.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Use a campus map if you have to (you will). Bus routes and tracking and campus maps are all available on IU’s phone app, so you don’t have to look like a tourist when you’re lost in Swain East. It’s always helpful to figure out where your classrooms are before classes start, anyway. And Hoosiers are generally on the kinder side, so asking someone on campus for a little guidance isn’t embarrassing.
Plan, plan, plan. Leave time to have a little bit of fun. Remember that agenda? Try to use it to look ahead for bigger dates, not just upcom-
THE BEST WAY TO FINANCE YOUR TEXTBOOKS
Freshman year of college hits you with
a lot of responsibility. You’re living on your own, fumbling through your first solo loads of laundry and suddenly you’re responsible for feeding yourself three times a day, not to mention trying to pass all of your classes. Make sure you give yourself some breathing room. Overloading yourself with study sessions and student organization meetings might look good on your transcript, but that transcript won’t be worth anything if you’ve burned yourself out by sophomore year. Be a little reckless, stay up late with your friends, go out dancing and don’t be afraid to have some fun. Balance is key.
Take care of yourself. Freshman year is stressful at times, and it’s important to look out for your mental and physical health. If you’re having trouble balancing all the new parts of your life, IU’s Counseling and Psychological Services is always a great resource for on-campus counseling. But if you’re looking for more minor stress reducers during the semester, try exercise or actually getting eight hours of sleep.

Decor contest judges share tips on dorm room style By Mariah Lee leemm@iu.edu | @MariahPariah5
How do you design the coolest room? How do you set your room apart from the rest? Some judges from the Cool Room Contest think they may have the answer. Residential Programs and Services judge entrants in the contest to find the most creatively decorated room. A cool room must be original and show residents’ personalities, Ryan Clark, an interior designer for RPS, said. Clark is one of three judges for the room contest. “To me, the rooms I love seeing in the Cool Room Contest are ones where you can really see the student’s personality and feel like you can get a sense of who they are and what they’re interested in just by looking at their space,” Clark said. Many students decorate their dorm rooms by using posters. The most popular poster sold at the TIS bookstore depicts all of the pubs found in Bloomington, manager Rhonda Crouse said. But having a room that looks like everyone else’s won’t win the contest, said Marie Shakespeare, a judge for the contest. She is the design
director for Shakespeare Lighting Design, a company that creates lighting projects including the Eskenazi Art Museum light totem on campus. Shakespeare said a cool room has a design theme, a creative use of color and is original. Some department store pieces can become too congested with the same patterns, and copying something from Pinterest isn’t very creative, Shakespeare said. “Everything matchy-matchy from the décor department of a recognizable store — not so creative,” Shakespeare said in an email. “Use your imagination. The room should be functional, fun and say something about you.” Last year’s winner, sophomore finance and accounting major Garrett Dederichs, also said having an original room is key. He added that it is important to have light sources and cover the more unsavory parts of a dorm. Clark also said a room can be made instantly cooler with creative uses of light, different textures and some plants. “There is no sure formula to make a cool room,” Dederichs said in an email. “Everyone has a different vision of what a perfect room is to them.”

A short history of the Little 500 race and weekend Naomi Farahan nafaraha@iu.edu | @naomifarahan
The Little 500 race has a history dating back almost 70 years. Here’s a look into what has happened at IU in the past several decades during one of the University’s main events. 1950s In 1950, residents of Hickory Hall participated in a marathon bike race on campus. The race was short-lived, but Howdy Wilcox, the then-executive director of the IU Foundation, was inspired. Wilcox was no stranger to the spirit of racing — his father won the Indianapolis 500 in 1919. He brought that racing spirit to the IU campus in 1951, establishing the Little 500, which was then nicknamed as the “World’s Greatest College Weekend.” Roughly 7,000 people gathered on May 12, 1951, to watch the first Little 500 race. The winners of the first race were the South Hall Buccaneers. In the first five years of the race, one fraternity — Sigma Nu — finished first, in 1954. Fraternities began a winning streak in the race in 1956. According to the IU Student Foundation website, an independent team did not place first again until 1984, when the Cutters won. The Cutters are made up of non-greek racers.
1960s The promotion sub-committee for the Little 500 race designed Beanie, a cartoon mascot, for the race’s 10-year anniversary in 1960. Beanie wore a Little 500 jacket, rode a bike and appeared in various advertisements and newspapers, including the Indiana Daily Student. In the same year, 1959 Miss America, Mary Ann Mobley, was honored as the “Sweetheart of Indiana University” at the race. She posed for pictures and interacted with students prior to the race. According to a newsletter published by the IU Student Foundation about the Little 500, she was one of the most popular women to ever be named Miss America. “For our weekend, I believe she will be the finest all-around girl that we have ever had,” William Armstrong, the IU Foundation Executive Director, wrote in the newsletter. “I feel we are most fortunate to have Mary Ann as our guest to celebrate our tenth anniversary.” In 1968, the race was delayed a day because of bad weather and a non-violent protest. Around 50 black students took part in a three-day sit-in at the first Memorial stadium. According to an IU Libraries Archives exhibit, they protested discrimination within the Greek system, specifically discriminatory clauses in the national charters of the fraternities at IU. The students barricaded

themselves at the stadium, demanding the fraternities eliminate the clauses. The Phi Delta Theta fraternity did not comply with the demands and was disqualified from participating in the race.
Dennis Quaid, was released, which depicted the Little 500 race. In 1986, "MTV's Ultimate College Weekend with John Cougar Mellencamp" brought 43,000 people to Memorial Stadium for a Little 500 concert.

Orienter 2018 1990s According to the Herald-Times, a riot took place at the Varsity Villas apartments during the Little 500 weekend in 1991. A car was turned upside down, and riot-goers threw miscellaneous items at police, including bottles and chunks of concrete. When an ambulance was called and showed up, it was overtaken and shaken by the riot. The police made more than 400 arrests. Many of those arrests involved people visiting for the weekend from out of town. The IUSF began publishing new slogans for the Little 500, including "Cycling, Scholarships, Tradition," instead of "World's Greatest College Weekend."
39 2000s and 2010s Barack Obama, then-senator of Illinois, paid an unexpected visit to the women’s race in 2008, stopping to shake hands with screaming fans in the crowd. More than 50,000 people signed a Facebook petition to bring Lil Wayne to perform in 2011. He performed in Bloomington during the Little 500 weekend. His lineup included Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj. In 2019, the 69th men’s Little 500 will take place and the 32nd women’s Little 500 will be contested.

Top social video games to play in the residence halls Clark Gudas ckgudas@.iu.edu | @This_isnt_clark
Video games are a great way to connect with new people and form friendships over common bonds. When moving into a new living space, this media form can be an easy way to break into conversation about shared interests and find something entertaining to do with a group of people from the same residence hall floor or apartment. Different video games are better for different social circles and interests, whether it be competitive gaming, sports or casual beat-em-ups. Here are some popular games that are great for any social occasion — ice breakers, parties or casual hangouts. Super Smash Bros. The ruler of fighting party games, “Super Smash Bros.� first hit the Nintendo 64 in 1999, and has resulted in three sequels since. Up to four players and computer-controlled users — up to eight in the most recent version of the game — choose characters from the Nintendo universe and engage in fast-paced, brawl-inspired combat. Win by sending opponents falling off the main stage or flying off the screen. “Super Smash Bros.� revels in its nostalgia and absurdity, which make it appealing to groups of people who play games for casual entertainment rather than serious competition. That doesn’t mean the games don’t have anything to offer to serious groups of gamers. Smash at IU is a local gaming community that meets on a biweekly basis for a competition called “Btown Beatdown,� which is free for anyone to attend. On the off week, the group holds a tournament called “Hyperbolic Time Chamber,� a friendly session for less competitive players. Last spring, Smash at IU partnered with Union Board to put on the largest “Super Smash Bros.� tournament in Indiana’s history. On a national scale, the game franchise has such a large esports following that top players can walk away with $10,000 cash prizes from tournament events, according to Red Bull’s website. Looking for a casual, easily accessible game to play with new friends? Have a dispute in the residence hall? Take it to the proving grounds in “Super Smash Bros.� Mario Kart If there’s a game as fun to play in college as it was as a kid, it’s “Mario Kart.� The banana-flinging, shell-launching racing game is the second most popular video game franchise in history, with more than eight games and 110,770,000 copies sold since 1981. Characters from the Mario franchise race on themed courses, such as castles, mountainsides and farms, as they use pow-
er ups to outdo the competition. With varying levels of difficulty, customization and tweaking, Mario Kart offers the ability for anyone living in a residence hall to come together over a common bond. Looking for a competitive floor event that everyone can participate in? “Mario Kart� is the game to go with. You might consider ordering a local favorite, Baked! of Bloomington, to keep the energy — and the sugar levels — high. Wii Sports Swing rackets, throw bowling balls and try not to hit your hand on the top bunk in “Wii Sports.� The 2006 release is a friendly gaming experience focused on motion-controlled virtual sports. The game features five of them — tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing — fully controlled by the player’s movement. Packaged with the original system, “Wii Sports� is a game many current IU students would have played if they owned at Wii when they were younger. Though it can be played by a single person, it’s relaxed, competitive nature shines in social situations, such as in a residence hall with friends or floormates. Because of the activity and energy required in each motion-controlled swing and punch, the game raises the spirits of those playing and leads to a fun and excited atmosphere. Though it may not be best to play “Wii Sports� in a residence hall because of the limited space and amount of necessary player movement, many residence halls have common rooms where consoles, such as a Wii, can be hooked up to a television. Make sure to wear the wrist strap. Fortnite The survival game “Fortnite� swept the nation in 2018, with college campuses included. The video game is set in contemporary Earth, with a storm causing the disappearance of most of the world’s population. Zombie-like creatures are dispatched to try and attack the remainder of Earth’s population. The game allows up to four players to cooperate on missions on randomly-generated maps to collect resources, build forts around defensive objects that are meant to protect against the storm and to construct weapons. A popular standalone mode for the game is “Fortnite Battle Royale,� which came out in September 2017. The standalone mode features up to 100 players, playing alone, in duos or in squads of up to four players. Each player attempts to be the last player alive by either evading or killing the remaining players. “Fortnite� allows roommates to play against one another, different floors to compete head-to-head, and even friends across campus to do battle within the popular video game.

Words of Wisdom Leaders from across campus offer advice on how to prepare for your first year at IU.
Melanie Payne, Director, New Student Orientation
Ceci Jerry, President, Indiana Memorial Union Board of Directors
“Don’t assume that just because someone is not at all like you in beliefs, experiences or culture, that you can’t be friends. Find that exact person and be friends.”
“My one word of advice for incoming students is to learn. Learn as much as possible about Indiana University, its resources, the people you live with in your residence halls, and even finding your niche on campus. Gain as much knowledge in your time here both inside and outside of the classroom. Our university has so much to offer and sometimes it may be overwhelming, but it will ultimately make your college experience worthwhile. I find myself learning something new every day, which has been the pinnacle of my own time at Indiana University. By utilizing my friends and staff members on campus I have now created my own sense of community at such a large institution. Ask questions, gain experience, improve your thinking, and be kind always. The true Hoosier way.”
Dave O’Guinn, Vice Provost for Student Affairs and Dean of Students “Get involved. In fact, you are more likely to graduate in four years if you make connections with peers and mentors within your first semester on campus. I encourage you to attend the Student Involvement Fair on Monday, August 20 from 3 to 7 p.m. in Dunn Meadow, and to use the beINvolved online system to find an organization and track all your campus involvements. If you are ever struggling to find your place on campus, reach out to me and the Division of Student Affairs staff. My team and I are always here to help.”
Lillian Casillas-Origel, Director, La Casa/ Latino Cultural Center “Students must be their own strongest advocates and take an active role is seeking support or help immediately when things become challenging.” Alex Wisniewski, President, Indiana University Student Association “All people are created equal, some just work harder. Find your passion then work towards it.”

James Wimbush, Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs “To all incoming students, congratulations and welcome! I’m so thrilled you chose Indiana University for this next stage in your journey and I look forward to your renewing presence on campus this fall. As you begin to acquaint yourselves with Bloomington, I hope you’ll enjoy the promising experiences and budding relationships in front of you. I encourage you to take full advantage of all IU has to offer. Enjoy the campus. Get involved. Participate in the array of opportunities happening throughout the year. Above all, know you are supported and encouraged to broaden your horizons and do your best work.”

Doug Bauder, Director, LGBTQ+ Culture Center
Rabbi Sue Silberberg, Executive Director, Helene G. Simon Hillel Center
“Starting your IU experience? Promise yourself that you’ll not just eat at one of Bloomington’s great ‘ethnic’ restaurants, but that you’ll get to know some international students as friends; that you’ll not just read about the research of Alfred Kinsey, but that you’ll hang out with some students who identify themselves as ‘gender fluid, gay or queer,’ that you’ll not just spend time with friends from high school, but that you’ll drop by the First Nations Cultural Center, or La Casa or the Black Culture Center and participate in the programs they have to offer. Promise yourself that you’ll open your mind to new experiences and I promise YOU that your days at IU will be rich and rewarding in so many ways.”
“You are on the brink of an exciting, new beginning at an excellent and caring University. As you prepare to open the doors to a new chapter of our life, you have a wonderful opportunity to shape your future and change the world. You will be challenged and have the privilege of building a community, learning from your professors and textbooks in the classroom, but more importantly, learning outside the classroom, from your friends, from the celebrations and happiness that you find and, also, from the challenges that you will inevitably face and overcome. As you build your future over the next four years, may you integrate into your life the values of social responsibility, caring, and compassion. May you strive to do good every day and to make our campus and our community an even better place.”
Melanie Castillo-Cullather, Director, IU Asian Culture Center “Transitions in life can be exciting and challenging at the same time. My advice to freshmen is to keep things cool and easy. Remember there are many opportunities in front of you and this is a good time to explore them. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Get to know the people whose academic work you admire and learn from, be involved in one or two organizations whose missions align with your values, and most of all, enjoy meeting new friends. If you ever feel alone or need someone to talk to, you are always welcome to come and hang out with us at the Asian Culture Center.”

Textbooks
Men, Interested in Greek Life at IU? Visit IUIFC.org and create a profile to get involved with the process
Helping you decide where and when to buy or rent After your bursar bill is paid and you’re settled into your dorm with furniture and snacks, there’s still one expense left: textbooks. Textbooks seem to get pricier every year and always come at an unexpected cost to many students. However, there are many ways to save money on textbooks through the options available in Bloomington and online.
to buy books are the IU Bookstore in the Indiana Memorial Union and TIS Bookstore on Third Street across from Jordan Hall. Between these two retailers, you can usually find all of the books you need for just about any class. But before you buy from these stores, compare their prices online at websites like Chegg or Amazon. There are many online textbook vendors that buy books nationwide, which allows them to offer books at a lower rate. The only downside is waiting for them to ship to you.
Should I buy or rent?
When should I buy books?
There are only a few reasons why you would need to buy a textbook. First, if you plan to use it past one semester. There are some textbooks that can be good resources as you take classes in your major area of study. Holding onto these after one semester may be worth the larger ticket price. You could also buy the book if you plan to take large amounts of notes in the book itself. Rental agreements generally don’t allow you to heavily mark the books, so it would be better to buy. Other than keeping the book or wanting to take copious notes, you should always try to rent books to save the most money. Rental prices are usually much cheaper than the cost to buy it.
All IU students have the ability to order every book listed on their syllabus before classes even begin. However, you may want to wait until after the first day of class to order. Sometimes professors make last minute decisions and change the required reading or drop a book. And don’t worry about being ill-prepared on your first day. Professors usually give you ample time to order books and will post the readings online for the first week or two. You could also split the cost of a textbook between a friend by only purchasing one for the both of you. Some books are only required for homework and it would be easy to share one. The best advice for buying textbooks is to compare prices and be smart. There are many ways to save money if you only take the time to research.

Dunn Meadow: A special gathering place In 1962, the IU Board of Trustees designated Dunn Meadow as a space on campus for spontaneous free speech. Through the years, it’s become a gathering place for students. Different groups have used the meadow — each expressing their own wishes and remembrances in a single, historical space. In the past, Dunn Meadow has been used as a concert venue, the site of various festivals, a place where memorials and vigils occurred and the location of protests by students and Bloomington residents.

Campus traditions make Bloomington, IU home By Lauren Rearick news@idsnews.com
College life is filled with traditions old and new. Part of coming to IU might mean embracing some of IU’s past traditions — or creating new ones of your own. Whether it’s singing the fight song at basketball games or raising money at the Indiana Universities Dance Marathon, these Hoosier traditions run deep. Here are a few of the customs that Hoosiers enjoy together. SPORTS Many college traditions center around sports teams and events. At IU, one of the oldest traditions takes place each fall when in-state football rivals IU and Purdue battle for the Old Oaken Bucket trophy. The game dates back to the 1920s. When IU faces Michigan State, they compete for the Old Brass Spittoon. The Hoosiers

captured the spittoon for the first time in 8 years in 2016. IU was one of the first universities in the nation to adopt a homecoming tradition. The annual October celebration ends with a football game. Homecoming isn’t just about sports, though. Hoosier alumni return to campus to join in on the festivities, which include a parade, pep rally and fireworks. First performed in 1912, “Indiana, Our Indiana” is the IU fight song, and played at every IU football and basketball game. Each fall, Hoosier Hysteria marks the official kick-off to the basketball season. The event features slam dunk and three-pointer contests and is an opportunity for fans to meet the men’s and women’s teams. April’s Little 500 race is one of the definitive traditions at IU. The cycling race dates back to the 1950s. Over the years, the race and related events have been dubbed, “The World’s Greatest College Weekend.” Learn more about Little 500 and its history on page 38.

PHILANTHROPY IU’s Dance Marathon is a year-long fundraiser that ends with a 36-hour event. Thousands of students participate in IUDM to help raise money for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. Each year, Zeta Tau Alpha presents Big Man on Campus. Fraternities compete in a talent show for the BMOC crown while raising money for breast cancer research. In 2017, the event brought in $182,000. Each year before homecoming, students participate in the Nearly Naked Mile where scantily-clad students run a mile around campus. Money or donations of fall and winter clothing are collected and given to a local organization in need. JUST FOR FUN Feeling romantic? According to IU lore, couples who kiss in the Rose Well House on Valentine’s Day are destined to stay together.
Feeling lucky? In 2000, a bronze statue of past IU President Herman B Wells was placed in the Old Crescent area of campus to honor his contributions to shaping IU. Freshman and their parents often shake Wells’ hand for luck. Alumni and students also stop by for a quick picture and to pay their respects. Read more about Herman B Wells on page 9.

Learn the words to IU’s school songs From freshmen to seniors, every Hoosier should know the words to IU’s most iconic songs. These are two tunes you are sure to encounter during your time at IU. IU fight song “Indiana, our Indiana”
Alma mater “Hail to Old IU”
Indiana, our Indiana Indiana, we’re all for you We will fight for the cream and crimson For the glory of old IU. Never daunted, we cannot falter In the battle, we’re tried and true. Indiana, our Indiana, Indiana, we’re all for you!
Come and join in song together, Shout with might and main. Our beloved Alma Mater, Sound her praise again. Gloriana Frangipana, E’er to her be true. She’s the pride of Indiana, Hail to Old IU!
Lyrics by Russel P. Harker Music from “The Viking March” by Karl L. King
Lyrics by J.T. Giles Music from an old Scottish song
Looking for a major that can lead to a fulfilling career helping others? Explore Speech & Hearing Sciences. IU’s graduate programs in Speech & Hearing Sciences are ranked #12 and #17 in the US — most of these same outstanding graduate faculty teach our undergraduates. Most of our graduates go on to graduate programs for training in speech-language pathology (2-yr Master’s degree) or audiology (3-yr or 4-yr Professional Doctorate, AuD). Our major is interdisciplinary with considerable coursework in psychology, development, anatomy & physiology, linguistics, and acoustics.
DID YOU KNOW? The US Department of Labor (2012) reports that…
• The median annual salary for speech therapists is $69,870 and job growth is projected at 19% from 2012-2022 (“faster than average”). • The median annual salary for audiologists is $69,720 and job growth is projected at 34% from 2012-2022 (“much faster than average”). • Clearly, an SPHS major offers the opportunity to “do well” for the foreseeable future. Speech-language pathologists and audiologist diagnose and treat communication disorders in people ranging from newborns to older adults — our majors have the chance to enjoy a life-long fulfilling career in which they also “do good” by helping their fellow human beings.
To start your journey, register this fall for SPHS S-106 or SPHS S-108 Audiology & Speech Therapy: works of the heart

First-year habits to avoid We all have bad habits, but these are some of the worst to start during your freshman year of college.
2
By Rachel Wisinski rlwisins@indiana.edu
As a freshman, you'll take on a number of unfamiliar responsibilities. With them come some challenges you'll look to avoid at all costs. Don't fall into these bad habits, and it'll get easier. Here are some suggestions on how to stay on the right track.
1
Procrastinating It’s easy to choose Netflix instead of your econ textbook on a Monday night. But you can’t wait until the week before an exam to break the binding and still expect an A. Procrastination is a bad habit most students engage in. “I procrastinate sometimes, but I try not to,” student Michelle Bouillon said. If you can find the motivation to complete your assignments, you’ll be well on your way to overcoming this bad habit. “I think about if I have my work done, I’ll be able to do what I want to, like hanging out with friends or watching TV,” Bouillon said. “The sooner I get my work done, the faster I can relax later.”
Skipping class You’ve hit the snooze button one too many times and missed class. No biggie. But for classes with a strict attendance policy, skipping too many can become a death sentence for your grades. Alex McCormick, associate professor in the IU School of Education, said classes are set up a certain way to expedite learning through more than just reading. “When students skip class, they miss out on whatever experiences the instructor has designed to facilitate learning, such as organized class discussions, Q&A, demonstrations, debates, guest lectures, group work, etc.,” McCormick said. He also said it’s a financially unintelligent decision because tuition is paying for the education, which doesn’t happen when the student is not present. “Students who skip class are effectively wasting part of what they’re paying,” McCormick said.
3
Eating habits Between work for classes and student organizations, not to mention the financial burden, eating a decent meal can be tough. Katie Shepherd, registered dietitian at the IU Health Center, said students often don’t plan their meals, which causes them to look for convenient foods that are often processed. They also skip meals, which leads to overeating later, or they do not get enough rest and they turn to caffeine and sugar instead of a healthy meal. In order to change these habits, Shepherd said setting a goal, writing it down and telling a friend can help you be more accountable. Planning meals and packing lunches for long days on campus can be most helpful. Additionally, Residential Programs and Services has instilled an Eat Right option in most dining locations. Looking for these options can alter your outlook on healthy living.

Spending too much money Having a social life has a price. You and your roommates get Starbucks every other day. A friend you haven’t seen for a month wants to meet for lunch. It’s your other friend’s birthday, and you promised her dinner and a night out. Plus, you need a new outfit for your date. Though not essential, these expenses are part of the college experience. However, while in school, you should try to manage your personal finances. Joseph Fitter, director of IU’s Strategic Finance Academy, recommends tracking every expense through a budget. “You can’t control what you don’t measure,” Fitter said. Todd Roberson, a professor in the IU Kelley School of Business - Indianapolis, suggests students prepare a monthly budget comparing their expected versus actual spending. If those variances are repeatedly positive, either find a way to make more money or accept that you cannot spend as much as you would like, Roberson said.
