Welcome to IU, incoming freshmen. We’re excited to have you here.

In the next few months, you’ll have the chance to explore new ideas and new places, new classes and concepts and you’ll have your fair share of new experiences.

College can be a scary experience.

It’s a journey that has perhaps the most intimidating beginning but the most bittersweet of endings.

I remember being in your shoes almost four years ago, when I was fresh out of high school and determined to take on the world. I thought I was a force to be reckoned with.

If I thought my two days at freshman orientation went by quickly, the next three years passed even quicker.

Someday you’ll be in the same situation I’m in, looking back on orientation like it happened only yesterday, when in reality you’re just two semesters away from graduating, at the end of the journey that just a few short years ago had you worried you walked into the wrong classroom.

You’ll be looking back and thinking, “Where did the time go?” And you’ll be passing on this bit of advice: Don’t let a single second of this opportunity pass you by.

Embrace the challenge of sitting in a classroom in which you know no one. Or of striking up a conversation with a stranger while eating lunch at

120 Ernie Pyle Hall 940 E. Seventh St. Bloomington, IN 47405

the Indiana Memorial Union. Or of conquering your first bout of homesickness. Don’t take the next four years for granted.

I know I’m waxing poetic and I’m not the only person who is giving you this advice right now. But there must be something to it if you’re hearing it from everyone and their grandmother.

We have been in your shoes before.

To help get you started on this journey, we’ve put together some helpful tips on learning and living at IU, like how to contact UITS if your laptop is on the fritz, or where to study, where to eat or what freebies to take advantage of.

There’s so much more we could tell you about IU, but that would ruin the fun for you.

See for yourself what IU has to offer.

Campus traditions bring IU experience to students Learn the words to these IU classics From freshmen to seniors, every true Hoosier should know the words to these tunes.

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 IU 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. Although Purdue has won the trophy more times, IU has retained it for the last two years.

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, fireworks and concerts.

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 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. This cycling race dates back to the 1950s. Over the years, the race and related events have been dubbed, “The World’s Greatest College Weekend.” For more on the Little 500, see page 18.

Philanthropy IU’s Dance Marathon is a year-long fundraiser that ends with a 36-hour dancing event. Thousands of students participate in IUDM to help raise money for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

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.

“He wanted to dedicate his life to the University.”

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 Jerik Tumang, IU student and 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.”

His commitment to all IU students was not just a story.

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 insisted on integrating the University and Bloomington, going toe-to-toe with city barbers and restaurants and winning.

Wells attends the inauguration of IU President Elvis Stahr, Jr., on Nov. 19, 1962.

“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.”

This illustration of Wells was drawn by Arbutus yearbook arts editor Sue Johnson in 1946.

Through it all, Wells remained dedicated to IU. “He felt that the University didn’t belong to him, he felt that he belonged to the University,” Capshew said.

Wells remains at the University in the form of a bronze statue in the Old Crescent, and his name adorns the largest library on the IU campus.

“Pretty much everything he touched he had an impact on,” Cashew said. “He built an institution and became one himself.”

Notable landmarks and legends on campus

By Nicole Montella nmontell@indiana.edu

Bryan House Where Next to Ballantine Hall, behind Delta Gamma.

The legend 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 protect the grounds.

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

Dunn Family cemeteries Where Adjacent to Beck Chapel and in front of Foster Quad.

The legend When IU bought the land from the Dunn family, there were a few stipulations.

The first was that their family plots could not be moved, which is why there are two cemeteries on campus. There are no burials anymore, and most of the plots are marked with 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 must be planted. Additionally, the “Sweetheart Tree,” which currently stands inside the Chemistry Building, was not to be touched.

Herman B Wells statue Beck Chapel Where Across from Ballantine Hall and the Chemistry Building.

The legend Beck Chapel is IU’s nondenominational chapel on campus, and it was completed in 1956. It houses copies of the Bible and Torah and is open 24/7 during finals.

The chapel has been known to be booked for longer than a year.

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

The legend Herman B Wells was one of the greatest presidents in IU’s history, and the main library is named after him.

At freshmen orientation, parents are told if they shake Wells’ outstretched hand, their student will graduate in four years.

“Under Wells, ‘Go Gophers’ is carved because the architecture is from Minnesota,” former IU student Kyle Roach said. “IU has so

many quirky things all over campus. You just need to go looking.”

The Rose Well House Where In the Old Crescent near Wylie and Owen halls and Dunn Woods.

The legend Built in 1908, the Rose Well House was originally part of the old College Building. Legend states that an IU woman is not an official co-ed until she is kissed in the well house at the 12 strokes of midnight.

Another myth is that a couple will be together forever if they kiss at the 12 strokes of midnight on Valentine’s Day.

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

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

The fish slowly started turning up in random places on campus. One fish remained missing (with some saying IU wouldn’t win another championship until it was returned), but it was recast in spring 2011, and all the fish are finally back together.

The bucket list

By Amanda jacobson aj56@indiana.edu

You’ve heard about nightlife at IU, but what happens during the day? Here are some suggestions on how to spend your time.

Freshman and sophomore years Dip your toes in Showalter Fountain The Showalter Fountain is a monument to IU’s arts history, but it is also a major symbol of campus culture. First designed by the late IU faculty member Robert Laurent in 1954, the fountain was inspired by bronze fountain groups in America and other fountains Laurent saw while on sabbatical in Rome.

The sculpted fish surrounding Venus are stolen almost annually. However, a dip in the fountain will suffice as a form of rebellion.

Visit the tailgate fields The tailgate fields are often synonymous with drinking and loud music, but they're the place to be during football season. Wake up early, wear an old pair of shoes because they'll get muddy and watch out for excise police.

See “Rocky Horror Picture Show” at the Buskirk-Chumley

11 Street and Kirkwood Avenue, Soma Coffee House and Juice Bar sports some colorful and amusing bathroom décor, which changes every so often. The toilet sits upon a stage-like platform, a pair of upside down mannequin legs holds toilet paper rolls, and a mosaic decorates one wall.

Go to the Quarries As a tribute to Bloomington’s limestone history and “Breaking Away” nostalgia, many people choose to visit the old quarries, now filled with water, sunken construction equipment and utility vehicles.

Although jumping from the rooftop ledge — whose location can be disclosed solely by word of mouth — is popular, it is also very dangerous. A history of injuries, diving deaths and arrests is tied to this secret location, but the quarry is also a popular hangout and party spot during the summer.

CAMPUS BUS Tip #1

How to Safely Ride the Bus

Eat breakfast at the Runcible Spoon The Runcible Spoon is famed for its commitment to locally brewed and sourced coffees, fresh food and eclectic atmosphere, but the breakfast menu is its specialty. The range of options includes eggs, sausage, corned beef hash, mimosas and chai lattes.

Go here to cure a hangover, study with friends or enjoy the patio on a spring day.

IU Campus Bus Service provides public transportation for the IU Bloomington campus.

For your SAFETY: •

Wait at designated bus stops only. Buses may only board or alight passengers at designated stops.

•

Board at the FRONT door only.

•

Move to the rear of the bus after boarding so that as many as possible may board the bus.

•

Do not stand forward of the white line in the front of the bus. This is a federal safety regulation to allow the bus driver a clear field of vision.

•

Pull the stop request cord to signal the driver you would like to exit at the next stop.

•

Exit at the REAR door. This will expedite the boarding of passengers.

•

Do not cross in front of the bus after exiting. Wait until the bus has pulled away from the bus stop and you have a clear field of vision in both directions before crossing the street.

Junior and senior years Play “Sink the Biz” at Nick’s Nick’s English Hut is notorious for its food, sports bar atmosphere and the infamous game, “Sink the Biz.” The main objective is to keep a small beer glass — the “Biz” — afloat in a bucket full of beer, while each person takes turns pouring a small amount of beer into it.

The first one in your group to sink the “Biz” into the water has to drink his or her entire beer. Be sure to order a side of seasoned Biz fries to enjoy as you play.

Try a signature drink Every bar has its signature drink. Whether it’s the Upstairs Pub, Bear’s Place or the Bluebird Nightclub, there’s something to try at each bar on your list.

Each year around Halloween, the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” is performed at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. This tradition offers costume contests, interactive performances and an all-around fun time. One suggestion: Don’t mention it’s your first time, unless you want to be brought on stage for a special “initiation” ceremony.

Go to a Hoosiers game You’ll always remember your first IU basketball game. The roar of the crowd in Assembly Hall, the fast pace of the game and the IU fight song will inspire you to become a lifelong fan. Buy an IU T-shirt, pick a favorite player and let your Hoosier pride shine.

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 a new musical opportunity. Here are a few options.

Rachael’s Cafe 300 E. Third St. Type of music Owner Rachael Jones said

people looking to soak up music at Rachael’s can expect to hear punk, folk, Irish and hiphop, as well as plenty of local independent acts.

The Rachael’s Café scene “We are so many different things,” Jones said. “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, 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 Bishop Bar 123 S. Walnut St. Type of music “We’re not too genre-specific,” owner Stephen Westrich said. “(We’ve 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.”

The Bishop scene “In terms of places that regularly do live music, we only do original music,” Westrich said. “We definitely embrace

331 S. Walnut St. Type of music: “We’re very open-ended,” assistant director David Britton said. “We do everything from national and international touring bands to local high school bands.

We do metal, hip-hop, rock, folk music and really a lot of everything, but we do try to concentrate on local music.”

The Rhino’s Scene: Britton said what sets Rhino’s apart is that it’s an entirely all-ages club. He said he also likes to take the risk of booking younger bands that can’t get booked at other places because of age restrictions.

“We’re also a bigger venue compared to some of the other places,” Britton said. “So we can bring in bigger name artists.”

Before you go: Students from the local Harmony Education Center started Rhino’s in 1992. Since then, the venue has offered a variety of non-music programs for youth.

Going greek?

IU is home to one of the largest greek communities in the nation. But with four major councils, which one’s right for you?

Here’s a rundown of the nationally recognized greek organizations on campus.

IDS FILE PHOTO

Panhellenic Association

Interfraternity Council Minimum 2.7 GPA Follow @IUBIFC

Minimum 2.7 GPA Follow @IUBPHA More information iubpharecruitment.com PHA is composed of 22 sororities that focus on leadership, scholarship, philanthropy and sisterhood. Freshman or sophomore women may seek membership by attending a greek informational meeting. After registering for the PHA recruitment process, each woman will be assigned a recruitment counselor known as a Rho Gamma.

IU PHA recruitment does not begin until second semester. This allows women to adjust to college life and develop good study habits before joining sorority life.

Rush officially begins Jan. 8 with Open House, or “22 party,” where recruits will visit all 22 PHA chapters. After 22 party, potential members meet with their Rho Gammas and rank their favorite chapters.

Women will go through three more stages as they get to know the personalities and values of each chapter. Recruitment finishes with Bid Day, when women are invited into a sorority. Upon accepting the bid, they begin initiation.

Former PHA president Anjulia Urasky said there are many benefits to going greek.

“You get lifelong friendships, leadership opportunities and a supportive community,” Urasky said via email. “Members of a sorority or fraternity join for life. It’s not just four years.”

IFC is composed of 30 chapters and three colonies, or new greek organizations awaiting official approval by their national fraternity.

IFC fraternities are based on brotherhood, leadership, scholarship and service.

“Our mantra is if you want to join greek life, we can a find a frat for you,” former Vice President of Recruitment Tom Ault said.

After meeting with the Bro Gammas, Ault said it’s their hope that men will come to Dunn Meadow with a short list of fraternities to meet so they can maximize their time at the event. Once potential members sign up with a number of fraternities they’re interested in, they can attend open events, where they’ll go on house tours and meet brothers in a sober setting.

Fraternity chapters then extend bids, and once a potential member signs a bid to a specific house, he’ll begin member education, or the pledge process. Men may also choose to rush in the spring.

Former IFC president Sean Jordan said he got a lot out of his decision to join a fraternity.

“For me, it’s a lot of leadership development, making a big school feel small, finding your niche with a great group of guys and providing a solid foundation to grow as a human being throughout your college career,” Jordan said.

National Pan-Hellenic Council

Nine chapters, one colony Requirements Minimum 2.5 GPA, letters of recommendation, letter of interest, community service hours Follow @IU_MCGC More information contact senior assistant director Lindsay Echols, lechols@indiana.edu.

Requirements Must have completed at least 12 credit hours with a minimum 2.5 GPA, letters of recommendation, letter of interest, community service hours Follow @NPHC_IU More information contact senior assistant director Lindsay Echols, lechols@indiana.edu

MCGC is composed of nine sorority and fraternity chapters and one colony. The chapters identify with a specific race, sexual orientation or religious preference, but students may join any chapter regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.

All MCGC chapters commit themselves to academic excellence, leadership development and community service.

To join a MCGC chapter, interested students can attend an informational session at the beginning of the semester. They will then fill out an application to seek membership to a specific sorority or fraternity. Each chapter runs its recruitment process differently.

MCGC senior assistant director Lindsay Echols said there is a distinct benefit to joining a MCGC sorority or fraternity.

“MCGC chapters are able to delve in and celebrate other cultures in a predominantly white campus, so members are able to learn about themselves and others,” Echols said. “It’s a wonderful learning opportunity.”

NPHC is composed of nine historically black national sororities and fraternities.

However, like MCGC, members do not have to be of a certain race or ethnicity to join.

The chapters are founded in philanthropy and service, and they work in the community at local nonprofit organizations like Middle Way House and the Boys and Girls Club.

The time frame for rush varies by specific chapter, but those seeking to rush will receive an application and submit for membership after the first informational meeting. The process will repeat in the spring.

In addition to the friendships and networking opportunities, Echols also said joining a chapter means making a lasting pledge to the sorority or fraternity.

“The thing that sets NPHC apart from other councils is the life-long commitment,” Echols said. “My grandmother is 91-years-old and still a financial member of her sorority.”

More than a bike race

Meet the man responsible creating the country’s greatest college weekend.

By Courtney Robb crobb@indiana.edu

It’s known as the greatest college weekend in America, and it all began on a spring day in May 1950.

The founder of the Little 500, Howard S. “Howdy” Wilcox, who was the IU Student Foundation executive director at the time, was wandering around campus when he heard the roars of crowds from a few yards across campus while a couple of students were holding a bicycle race.

After he discovered these students, Wilcox had an idea.

At that time, he was in charge of overseeing fundraising ideas for the foundation. Inspired by the students racing, and his father’s win at the Indianapolis 500, he came up with the idea to hold a bike race.

This wasn’t just any normal race. Students would race bicycles to the rules and regulations of the Indianapolis 500. The first race would be held in 1951 and called the “Little 500.”

Wilcox, who attended IU as an undergrad in the 1930s, later came to be known as the Father of the Little 500. With more than 60 teams, the race is just as popular now as it

“It’s unique because it’s an event where all the students come together for one awesome activity, and it’s an awesome connection from students to alumni.”

Jordan Bailey, Little 500 race director

was in 1951.

Little 500 started off with more than 60 teams — adding 38 women’s teams in 1988 — and although we don’t have quite as many today the spectator numbers have exploded from 500 to about 6,000 since 1951, said Jordan Bailey, Little 500 race director.

The most important idea about the Little 500 was the money it made for the student foundation, John Schwarb, author of “The Little 500: The Story of the World’s Greatest College Weekend” said.

“This sounds hard to believe now, but when Wilcox first took over as IU Foundation executive director, it wasn’t pulling in that much money,” Schwarb said in an email.

“He wasn’t sure alumni understood what the Foundation was all about. Maybe he couldn’t change his current alumni base, but he could mold the current students so they could be-

come more active later as adults.”

Throughout the years, the race has evolved into the weekend that every alumnus and IU student waits for with the help of important faculty Wilcox members.

“I credit Bill Armstrong for fine-tuning the Little 500 into the star-studded, full weekend that it later became, but the origination was all Howdy Wilcox’s,” Schwarb said.

The Little 500 isn’t something that is planned overnight. The Student Foundation puts a large time commitment into planning Little 500. The riders don’t take it lightly, either. They practice riding from the fall all the way up until the ride in April.

“When I was a student, I was amazed at the time riders and IUSF people put into the event. It’s not just a party you throw together a month ahead of time,” Schwarb said.

It’s not just a bike race, but something that allows students and alumni to really come together and connect, Bailey said.

“It’s unique because it’s an event where all the students come together for one awesome activity, and it’s an awesome connection from students to alumni,” Bailey said.

Sports to watch IU Athletics has a sport for every kind of fan. Here are some of the sports you should keep an eye on this year.

By Brody Miller and Michael Hughes sports@idsnews.com

There are many sports to pay attention to during your time here at IU. We have everything from field hockey to water polo, not to mention the University’s football and basketball programs.

Here are some of the sports we think will be important to watch in the coming year.

Men’s Soccer The quest for a ninth star. That is what IU will be starting this August after a season in which the Hoosiers entered the NCAA Tournament as the fifth overall seed, but exited in the second round.

IU’s nine national titles are the second most of any soccer program in the country, the most belonging to St. Louis, who haven’t won a title since the Hoosiers started playing the game.

Current IU Coach Todd Yeagley is the son of “The Godfather” of college soccer, Jerry Yeagley, who was the coach for six of IU’s eight national titles. Todd, who played as a Hoosier for four seasons, was the coach for IU’s last national title in 2012.

The Hoosiers return midfielders Tanner Thompson and Femi Hollinger-Janzen, the two best Hoosiers going towards the opponents goal last season.

IU also returns its man in goal, Colin Webb, who was one of the best goalkeepers in the Big Ten last season.

The Hoosiers figure to start the season in the top 10 nationally, making the already raucous Hoosiers Army even crazier at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

Baseball In recent years, the one of the most successful IU teams has been baseball. After years of futility at the bottom of the Big Ten,

the Hoosiers visited Omaha for the College World Series for the first time in program history in 2013.

In 2014, the Hoosiers entered the tournament as a national seed, but lost on a walk-off home run in the regional tournament at Bart Kaufman Field in Bloomington, the beautiful new home for the Hoosiers.

This spring, the Hoosiers reloaded after losing multiple player to the Major League Baseball Draft, and figure to make some noise again in 2015’s NCAA tournament.

Next season, the Hoosiers should once again be nationally prominent in IU Coach Chris Lemonis’ second season in Bloomington, with many talented players returning at both the plate and on the mound to couple with a strong incoming freshman class.

Women’s basketball Less than a year ago, IU Coach Teri Moren was inheriting a young team without the benefit of time to get to know her players much before the season.

Four transfer departures later, Moren is attempting to put her own stamp on this program. She will bring in some much needed size with incoming freshmen Danielle Williams and Kym Royster, and already has three transfer players joining the team.

There is Marquette guard Tia Elbert, who will have to sit out a year due to transfer rules, and junior college transfers Victoria Kemokai and Tyshee Towner, who will be available right away.

With the return of IU’s young core players like rising sophomore guards Tyra Buss and Jess Walter and rising junior Alexis Gassion, the Hoosiers will have plenty of talent. The issue may be that last year’s lack of experience will ring true once again.

This year we will begin to see more of how Moren wants to run this team with a full offseason of preparation.

IU Art Museum Director Heidi Gealt said she has a few favorite exhibits that she thinks “speak to the human condition.”

“On the third floor, you will find an Olmec Vessel from Santa Cruz, Mexico, in the form of an Old Woman which was made well over three thousand years ago.

It is an unforgettable image of old age and suffering. On our second floor we have a sculpture made in Japan about a thousand years ago which shows a little boy, Prince Shokotu Taishi, age 2, who was venerated as the reincarnation of the Buddha. Here is a 2-year-old in perfect composure and peace — so endearing. On the first floor, you will find a small, tenderly painted likeness of a lady by Gerard ter Borch, the Dutch 17th century master. This middle-aged woman is so honestly described that you feel like you are meeting one of the Dutch citizens who

IU Cinema Director Jon Vickers encouraged seeing a film at the cinema, which has seen a good deal of praise from some notable visitors over the years.

“If you’ve seen a big movie at the Cinema, then take a chance on something that you’ve never heard of — especially if a filmmaker is in attendance.”

Let’s talk about sex Browse the world-famous Kinsey Institute

By Hannah Alani halani@indiana.edu

PHOTOS COURTESY OF IU ARCHIVES IU ARCHIVES Alfred Kinsey with research assistants Clyde Martin, Wardell Pomeroy in 1947.

The year was 1938, and Dr. Alfred Kinsey engaged a packed auditorium of anxious students in conversation about a taboo topic: sex.

Decades later, Kinsey’s devotion to studying human sexuality and shattering the silence on sexual health is illuminated in the halls of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction and continues to inspire and inform IU students, the Bloomington community and the world.

The Kinsey Institute is the world’s leading sexuality and sexual health research center Jennifer Bass, Kinsey Communications Director, said.

“As you go around the world, people might know the Kinsey Institute and might not even know Indiana University,” Bass said. “It takes time for some students to know that we’re even here.”

In addition to its research and educational programs, the Institute has rotating art exhibits that change in theme each semester.

&HUWLÀFDWH Fall 2015 course, open to all interested students: Leadership & Public Policy PACE-C 250 General Education requirement: S&H. 3 credit hrs.

Health care? Immigration? Climate change?

Same-sex marriage? How do decisions on these and countless other major public issues get made in America? Students will be introduced to the skills of effective engagement in political and civic discussion, deliberation, advocacy, and action as citizens and leaders.

Orienter 2015 In addition to her class at Kinsey, the art is another reason for junior English and gender studies major Susannah Beckman to visit the Institute.

“I love going and looking at it,” Beckman said. “I think I’m always surprised by something I see just because you see things produced more than a hundred years ago that you never thought about existing then.”

Studying the portrayal of sexuality throughout history helps students and researchers better understand sex, Bass said.

“There’s only so much you can learn from talking about sex, and there’s only so much you can learn about emotions from words,” Bass said. “If you look at artwork from different times about sensitive topics, you get to a different understanding of where you are now.”

Studying erotic art throughout history is helpful for society when thinking about modern pornography, Kinsey Art Curator Catherine Johnson-Roehr said.

“Artists have been interested in depicting the human body and images of a sexual nature in almost forever,” Johnson-Roehr said.

“The fact that they continue today is not surprising.”

One of the spring 2015 print exhibits even included a print by Rembrandt called the French Bed. “It’s very interesting to realize, ‘Wow, there was a lot going on before you were born,’” Bass said. “It helps put things in perspective about our world and as us as humans that books cannot do.”

Bass said the Institute began showcasing its archived art as thematic exhibits in 1996.

Beckman enjoyed seeing the fall semester’s exhibit, which displayed art that showed the relationship between sex and food.

“I love going and looking at it. I think I’m always surprised by something I see just because you see things produced more than a hundred years ago that you never thought about existing then.”

Susannah Beckman, junior gender studies major

“There’s so much amazing art at the Kinsey Institute that you won’t get to see anywhere else,” Beckman said. “It’s a great opportunity to see the new shows and to see as much of it as possible.”

Visitors can be assured that there will always be art for them to see when they come to Morrison Hall.

“The unique thing is that our shows change,” Johnson-Roehr said. “Somebody who came here last year will see something different when they come back.”

The Institute has recently shifted its research focus to studying the biology of sex and relationships, Bass said.

“The focus has been on sexuality and why people make decisions on what they do with their sex lives,” Bass said. “Now, it’s getting more to the biological basis of love and nurture.”

Other topics being explored by current research at the Institute includes studying sexual assault on campus, hormonal contraceptives in various environments and long-term relationships versus “hookups,” Bass said.

“It’s a scholarship all on its own and a language all on its own,” Bass said. “It’s really profound.” For more information, visit kinseyinstitute.org.

Talking campus safety IU Police Department chief offers tips on staying safe during your time at IU.

By Holly Hays hvhays@indiana.edu

What’s the difference between IUPD and BPD?

It’s important that 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 39 full-time officers plus around 70 part-time officers and cadets.

It’s also important to remember that you have many resources at IU that work together to keep you safe.

We caught up with IUPD Chief Laury Flint to get the 4-1-1 on when you should dial 9-1-1.

IUPD’s primary area of jurisdiction is the IU campus, while Bloomington Police Department’s primary area of jurisdiction is the surrounding city.

Who should I contact first in the event that I feel unsafe?

Please contact IUPD first and immediately if you feel unsafe for any reason.

What options do I have to get a safe ride home on campus?

Safety Escort (safety.indiana.edu) is a student-run transportation service for IU Bloomington students and staff as an alternative to walking alone at night. Safety Escort is funded through IU Parking Services, so there is no cost to ride.

Hours are Sunday through Thursday from 8 p.m. to 1:45 a.m., and Friday/Saturday 8 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. Call (812) 855-SAFE (855-7233) for a ride. While summer classes are in session, hours are 8 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. seven days a week. The service stops taking calls before closing time if its call capacity is reached for the night.

Last spring the service went mobile by allowing Android and Apple device users to arrange for rides using the TapRide app. There are also several taxi services in Bloomington whose rates vary depending on the distance travelled.

What are those blue lights I see spread across campus?

The blue lights have a (red) button that can be pressed to immediately call 911 in the event of an emergency.

The location of the blue light is automatically communicated to the police.

Blue lights also have the capability of allowing a caller to dial a local number in a nonemergency situation.

What is IUPD? IUPD is Indiana University’s very own police department that operates all day, every day.

WE WANT YOU

Laury Flint

Do you have any suggestions for how I can stay safest on campus?

If you see something that makes you feel uneasy or you consider to be unsafe, call 911 immediately. IUPD would rather respond and find that there is no problem than not receive a call.

IUPD offers several safety programs and group presentations, including the Rape Aggression Defense course. See indiana. edu/~iupd/communityPrograms.html for more information. Students are also encouraged to talk to police officers anytime, not just when there is a problem.

Part-time officers are full-time students at IU Bloomington who also completed the IU Police Academy to become fully sworn Indiana law enforcement officers. Many of them live in and/or work at the campus dormitories.

TO M E E T

Are there social media accounts to follow to stay on top of campus safety?

It is important to keep contact information current for the university’s IU Notify emergency alert system. Students can do this by logging into one.iu.edu and conducting a search for IU Notify. IU Notify is used for two types of notices: emergency notifications warn students when they need to take immediate action to avoid danger, and crime alerts warn of ongoing threats or concerns of which students should be aware such as a sexual assault.

Texts are the quickest way to receive the time-sensitive emergency notifications, so students should include their cell phone numbers with their IU Notify contact information.

The Bloomington Police Department has a Facebook page (Bloomington Police Department) and Twitter account @BltgINPolice that students, especially those living off-campus, might find useful.

WELCOME TO REAL COLLEGE LIVING.

Where is IUPD located and how can I contact the department?

IUPD is located at 1469 E. 17th St., west of Jordan Avenue. Non-emergency calls can be placed to 812-855-4111. Call 911 in case of emergency.

Anatomy of the freshman

By Griffin Leeds gmleeds@indiana.edu

Ah yes, freshmanus sapiens. Of all of the class standing creatures of college, this species is the easiest to point out in the field. During your first weeks at IU, you’re going to stand out.

A lot of people will make you feel like there’s a stigma to being a freshman, that it’s something you should be ashamed about.

I say scrap that mindset. Every single student at IU was a once freshman.

1

Freshmen get called out for being freshmen because they haven’t figured out college yet. Not looking like a freshman is about looking confident instead of incompetent.

There will be some telltale signs of the freshman that indicate you haven’t quite got the hang of campus yet.

If avoiding those giveaways will make you feel more at ease, feel free to review the anatomy of the classic freshman.

2 3

7 8 4 6

1

The school and its many organizations will try to drown you in free stuff. Let them. Free stuff is great. However, exercise some moderation and don’t deck yourself in said free stuff until a few weeks into classes.

2

You’re no longer under the watch of your legal guardians. That said, being showy with a cig perched behind your ear and a tragic smattering of patchy peach fuzz across your face advertises that you don’t quite yet know how to handle your freedom.

3

The map thing is tricky. There’s no more blatant indicator that you’re trying to not get lost, but foregoing one means you might end up looking lost because you are actually lost. Keep a map on your person and find a bathroom stall to re-orient yourself when necessary.

4

Many new students are also new laundrydoers who fall victim to mishaps. Don’t panic.

There’s statistical certainty that there’s at least one laundry wizard on your floor. Find the laundry wizard.

Let the laundry wizard teach you their ways.

5

5

Part of the drastic lifestyle shift that is part of moving to the IU campus is that you will be doing a lot more walking than you did in your former life. Your favorite pair of ratty canvas shoes?

No. Footwear with ankle and arch support for long, humid cross-campus treks? Yes.

6

Unless you are heading to a sporting event or the Traditions and Spirit of IU rally, leave the candy-stripes in their glass shrine in your room.

8

7

Being proud of your alma high school is charming, but wearing your high school class ring says that you peaked early. In the same way that everyone at IU was once a freshman, just about everyone was once in high school.

This guide would be inadequate without addressing the keys and student ID on a lanyard around your neck. Keeping the lanyard will save you stress and money if you’re prone to losing things. But for the love of Herman B Wells, do not wear it around your neck. Keep it in your backpack.

Worst-case scenario survival guide: IU edition

By Dianne Osland dosland@indiana.edu

Welcome to the wild, er, college. Whether you’re navigating the halls of Ballantine Hall or the tables of Wright Food Court, you’re bound to come across dangerous, disappointing and downright awkward situations. Here’s how to survivee — and prevent — three common scenarios narios you may face in your first year.

Housing You had your heart set on McNutt because your sister told you it was the only place to live if you wanted a social life. Your housing assignment arrives: Forest. est.

What to do Don’t immediately think your freshman year is ruined. There’s not one specifically “social dorm,” there are just social people. And they’re not housed in only one building — they’re your neighbors down the hall.

Find the good in each neighborhood.

Forest, Read and Rose are all on Third Street near major academic buildings so you’ll have a shorter walk to class. Central dorms are by the Wells Library and the SRSC, and

Northwest residents have quick access to the stadium and Assembly Hall.

If you’re lucky enough to land in one of the three dorms without air conditioning, don’t sweat it. Just remember, you can always bring fans, and summer doesn’t last long in Indiana.

Take advantage of AC in your dorm’s center building or make fast friends — there’s no small talk like complaining compla about the weather. wea Give it a G few months. m you’re still If you unhappy with unhap housing, your h have the you hav opportunity opport at the end of first submit a semester to sub housing change request form. If you must call Fee Lane home, RPS does allow residents to move rooms before winter break if there is available space.

Preventative measures This could very well be the one and only time you’ll live in the close quarters of a double dorm room on a floor of 50 other

people who might become your family away from home. Enjoy it.

Scheduling You’ve painstakingly picked out the perfect class schedule for your first semester. Hello, three-day weekends and History of Rock ’n’ Roll Music. But as you log onto OneStart to click “enroll,” you’re faced with MWF 8 a.m. classes and 20-person deep waitlists.

What to do That rock ’n’ roll class has already enrolled the maximum number of students. But don’t stash away those AC/DC albums yet — check the “waitlist” option.

If students decide to drop out during the first week of classes and you’re high enough up on the waitlist, you’ll automatically be enrolled.

Just remember you’re not guaranteed a spot even if

you’re wait-listed, so have a back-up class in mind.

Remember you have four (or five, or six) years at IU. Just because you couldn’t enroll in a certain class this fall doesn’t mean you won’t graduate in time or have the chance to take a yoga class for credit.

Set several alarms and make a friend. If you couldn’t avoid the dreaded 8 a.m. finite math course, get to know your classmates.

They’ll keep you accountable for showing up and keep you updated in case you hit that snooze button one too many times.

Preventative measures There’s not much you can do to change this first semester, but it’s a different story come spring.

You won’t start scheduling until late October or November, but make sure you visit your adviser before that time.

Many schools won’t let you enroll in spring classes until you’ve had an advising meeting.

You might be surprised what some of our graduates do

Remember when Fall Out Boy’s comeback tour sold out in nine minutes? Instead of competing for a ticket, you’re competing for that final seat in Psych 101.

Don’t miss it.

39 It’s easier to control your emotions when you’re looking right at your roommate instead of your computer screen.

Stay away from talking about sex and focus on talking about the real issue: respecting shared space.

Avoid calling your roommate anything derogatory. Even if you do think he or she is trashy, judging his or her actions only makes the situation worse.

Sexiling Your last class just ended, and you’re heading home to study for your A215 exam. Opening the door to your dorm room, you hear heavy breathing coming from your roommate’s bed.

Turns out he or she is already studying some basic human anatomy.

What to do Make a swift exit. Find shelter until it is safe to return to your residence.

Having a conversation while your roommate is occupied probably isn’t the best idea. Wait until the next day, when you’ve cooled off and your roommate isn’t as ... distracted.

The next day, have a conversation face-toface — not through texts or Facebook chat.

Preventative measures Create a communication system with your roommate.

Symbols like a tie on the door invite your neighbors to know your business. Be more cryptic with a coded note on the door that says something like “I’m studying” to keep the rest of the world out of the loop.

Schedule times in advance you and your roommate can have private time in the room, though that isn’t always a solution for last-minute hookups.

Real talk: from a former RA

By Griffin Leeds gmleeds@indiana.edu

Let’s cut to the chase. You’re going to have a resident assistant, but you don’t know what to expect. Every RA is going to be different, but you’re worried that they’re strict and out to get you in trouble.

Speaking as a former RA with some experience under my belt, here’s what I can tell you.

We know so much more about what you’re up to than you think we do. The RA position is one of the most competitive student jobs at IU. They take a class about being the best RA they can be before they even start interviews. Some people get cut from consideration before stepping foot in the RA class.

So many people apply, which allows RPS to be very selective. Consequentially, dummies don’t slip through the cracks easily.

Your RA is probably busier than you.

That isn’t to deter you from approaching your RA for advice or help. What it does mean is that they don’t have time to be the floor police 24/7.

We don’t go looking for reasons to write you up. Sometimes you get a

God-complex case, but it’s uncommon.

Your RA is probably not one of those.

The paperwork we have to do after writing someone up is tedious and detailed and we’re often filling them out after incidents taking place at the wee hours of the morning.

We aren’t going to write you up unless we have to. So when do we have to?

RA’s rarely do the job exclusively for the money, but it’s a major selling point to the job. So, we’re not going to turn a blind eye to something if it means risking losing our free room and board, meal plan and $1,500 stipend.

If you’re being written up, you must have done something incredibly stupid.

Here’s the secret. Don’t be a disruption or a danger to yourself or others.

And if you do get in trouble for doing something dumb, your RA won’t suddenly hate you.

Your RA probably wants to like you.

The job is easier that way. An RA is living with and in charge of several dozen strangers. Liking their residents is going to make it more worthwhile. RAs will go the extra lengths to like their residents.

So, as long as you aren’t disrespectful and excessively disobedient, you and your RA are going to get along great.

Feeling under the weather? IU’s health center can help

By Alex Rast amrast@indiana.edu

Get tested

The IU Health Center offers many services for IU students who need medical assistance, such as full service appointments, a walk-in clinic, a pharmacy, lab tests and x-rays, physical examinations and allergy shots.

Here is a list of services that could be beneficial to you.

Full service appointment or walk-in clinic The medical clinic is staffed with physicians and nurses, and scheduled appointments or walk-ins are available.

Appointment services encompass the full range of family practice medical care, including physical examinations.

Appointments can be scheduled up to two weeks in advance.

Students are asked to cancel appointments no later than two hours prior.

The walk-in clinic is available for students with emergency medical needs. Such typical needs include fevers, sore throats, coughs and injuries. Students will be seen in order of arrival or based on the severity of the problem.

Learn Italian your way!

Fall 2015

The IU Health Center Laboratory is the only local location where counseling and HIV testing are performed on-site. Results for the HIV test are available the same day.

It also offers testing for common STIs such as chlamydia, which is often asymptomatic and can go undetected. The test used in the lab is quite sensitive and can detect infection early. If you want to be tested for chlamydia or other STIs, set up an appointment by calling 812-855-7688.

Pharmacy The IU Pharmacy is located within the Health Center. It accepts many prescription cards. The pharmacy also has three full-time pharmacists who are always available to answer questions. As well as giving discounts to students for some services, the pharmacy also stocks over-the-counter medications like cough drops, cold medicine and eye drops.

Immunization/allergy The Health Center offers a variety of vaccines, often at reasonable prices.

Influenza vaccinations are made available prior to flu season. In order to encourage all students to get flu shots, the flu shots are priced as low as possible.

Words of wisdom

“Campus life might present challenges for both domestic and international students.

At IU, students can find a number of resources that will assist them with those challenges and help ease the transition. It is important that students make the most of their experience by reaching out and becoming involved.

There are hundreds of student organizations on campus that students can join and seek leadership opportunities that will help them grow professionally and personally. By finding a balance between academics and getting involved, students can enhance their experience as IU students.”

Leaders from across campus offer advice on how to prepare for the first year at IU. From the practical to the philosophical, they’ve got you covered.

“I would encourage students to be open in healthy ways to discovering their own sexuality, but also to value and respect the differences they encounter among their peers. Getting to know new people and understanding their identities makes for a full and rich college experience.

Don’t assume everyone is the same and don’t be afraid to ask questions in a respectful way. When people are approached in such a manner, they are most often delighted to tell their stories.”

“One, always remember why you are here — to learn and grow. That should be a priority and guide what you do the next four years. Two, surround yourself with people that will support and have a positive influence in your life. Three, never be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help. You are not the only one who will seek help, and that is why faculty and staff are here. Four, never be afraid or embarrassed to go beyond your comfort zone. College is the best place to be challenged and explore the unknown.”

“Take the time to really think about this experience.

Don’t get so caught up in the day to day that you forget to FEEL the history and culture of the IU campus. Take advantage of the unusual and unique opportunities that you will never get elsewhere.

The students who clearly get the most out of their college experience have seemed, to me, to be those who have variety in their life: in academics, in involvement, and in their social lives. They explore.

They challenge themselves.

They ask questions. And they are happier for it.”

MEET THE ADMINISTRATION IU’s big three, redefined Lauren Robel, provost and executive vice president

By Katie Dawson | katdawso@indiana.edu

T

he IU administration is made up of more than 100 administrative offices and services, each of which carries out a different task. With so many departments, sometimes it’s hard to remember who does what.

But who runs the University? Here’s a brief introduction to the University’s top three administrators.

Robel was officially appointed to the provost position on July 1, 2012. The provost serves as the University’s Chief Academic Officer, overseeing and advancing the interests of undergraduate, graduate and professional education.

Robel is the Val Nolan Professor of Law, and she served as dean of the Maurer School of Law from 2003-2011. Robel graduated summa cum laude from Maurer Law and earned her bachelor’s degree with honors from Auburn University.

The provost office is located in Bryan Hall Room 100.

Her email address is provost@indiana.edu.

Michael A. McRobbie, president McRobbie was appointed as IU’s 18th president by the IU Board of Trustees on July 1, 2007.

As president, McRobbie is responsible for each of IU’s eight campuses, which has an approximate total budget of $2.7 billion, more than 16,000 faculty and staff and about 100,000 students.

McRobbie, a native of Australia, received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Queensland and his doctoral degree from the Australian National University.

To contact the Office of the President, call 812-855-4613, email iupres@indiana.edu or visit indiana.edu/~pres/.

The textbook dilemma: rent or buy?

IDS FILE PHOTO

By Caitlin Ryan ryancj@indiana.edu

Buying at a bookstore tends to be the most expensive option. Although there are a variety of alternatives, some students still prefer the traditional way.

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

Should I rent?

Renting textbooks is a fairly recent trend among university students as a cheap alternative to purchasing books. Both the IU Bookstore and TIS offer this option, in addition to local retailer TXT Book Rental and websites like Chegg.com.

PROS Renting a textbook is cheaper than purchasing one, and you don’t have to keep a book that you don’t want. According to TIS, renting textbooks usually saves you 60

percent off the list price of the book.

CONS Rental books have to be kept in good condition, so you can’t write in them as much.

Should I buy online?

Buying online can also save money, especially with popular websites like amazon. com. They advertise big discounts on new and used textbooks, and they even offer free shipping for students.

PROS You can do it from the comfort of your own living room, and it might save you some money.

CONS If you order your books online, you have to wait for them to arrive.

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

Your ur source for everything Apple is now at College Mall.

e-books, which can be read on a portable device, such as a Kindle or a NOOK. However, most of the e-books are formatted to be read on a computer screen.

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.

How can you save money?

Go to class before you buy your books.

You’ve heard this one before from your upperclassman friends and everyone else who has ever suffered through a lecture with an expensive, but thoroughly unopened, book.

“Everyone gets mad as sophomores because the books are seen as a bad investment,” TIS textbook manager Tim Lloyd said.

Don’t do that to yourself. Besides trying to buy used and rent books, here are some other tips.

Split the cost. If you can, try to take those basic, big lecture classes with a friend or roommate so you can split the cost on those big-item books. And also to survive the boredom, of course.

Use the library. We have one of the most extensive library systems in the country — use it. Especially if you need fiction or nonfiction books for literature or other liberal arts classes.

Consider an older edition. A lot of students get slammed because the department recently adopted the newest edition and require all students to buy it.

A lot of times, especially with history and science books, the new editions have very minimal changes, so you can get away with an older one. Be careful with this one, though, and watch out for different page numbers or changes in homework problems.

Your college experience, captured in one book.

The new friends you meet, the teams you cheer for, the concerts you attend, these are the moments at IU that define who you are for years to come. The Arbutus yearbook covers it all.

BEST STUDY SPOTS

By Jeff LaFave jlafave@indiana.edu

Choosing where to study in Bloomington means knowing how you like to study.

Group thinkers don’t have much fun in quiet locations, and wallflowers can be terrified by the sheer size of the Herman B Wells Library.

Knowing who you are, or just how you like to absorb information, will make life easier when crunch time rolls around.

The dorms Your humble bedroom is the “square one” of freshman year. Everything you do — eat, sleep, get into arguments — will happen in this cubic room. It takes a perfectionist to study here without distraction.

Pros If you’re the sort of left-brained, organizational wizard who can’t be distracted, no matter what, then crack open a soda and get going. You don’t have to travel far, and you’re always near snacks in your dorm room.

Cons Your neighbors might not always be so courteous. It might be study time for you, but it could always be Metallica time for them.

like the Statue of Liberty: “Bring me your tired, your huddled masses...”

The Wells Library, which stretches to the skies near 10th and Jordan streets, is the standard in IU academics. It’s not uncommon to see this place filled during midterms.

Group projects flock here as a central campus meeting point, yet there are hundreds of computers for individual students in need of software resources, 24 hours a day.

Pros There’s a food court, air-conditioning and one of the largest library stacks in the nation ready to facilitate your learning.

Cons It’s a booming, brutalist building filled with strangers. Come with caffeine and a can-do attitude.

Local coffeeshops Bloomington has its fair share of local coffeeshops stocked with Wi-Fi and great music. What each shop will provide you, however, can vary. Some patrons might be there solely to gawk or play music.

Pros Great organic coffee, supporting local business, a caffeine buzz like you wouldn’t believe.

Cons The off-chance your study night is “Bohemian Music Open Mic Cavalcade.”

and Grant streets, this library is significantly quieter and easier to navigate than Wells. It’s also a short walk from the Sample Gates.

Pros The clandestine “reading room” is an introvert’s paradise.

Cons Located far away from dorms

Monroe County Public Library

Herman B Wells Library It is the Ellis Island of study time. Herman welcomes his students to the library lobby

The MCPL is an often under-utilized resource of the Bloomington community.

disappear.

Dunn Meadow is a place for socializing and discussion, but the Arboretum can easily be mistaken for a Shangri-La. Grab a towel and your textbooks, because this campus is a giant study lounge under the sun (winter excluded).

Pros Working on a suntan, vitamin D, improved mood Cons Wasps, errant frisbees

Homesick?

B LO O M I N G T O N ’ S M O S T D Y N A M I C A PA R T M E N T C O M M U N I T Y

RESERVE YOUR SPOT EARLY FOR 2016!

We put together some tips and tricks on how to fight the homesick blues.

By Holly Hays hvhays@indiana.edu

You’re in a new place. You’re on your own. For the first time ever, you’re getting to call the shots and make the decisions about what you’re doing with your time.

This exciting, new-found independence comes as a perk of being a freshman in college.

But what happens when you’re sitting alone in your dorm on a Friday night and you realize you’re sitting in your dorm alone on a Friday night?

This is where homesickness creeps in. It hits. And it hits hard.

Making the adjustment from high school to college is difficult. Not just academically, but socially and emotionally, as well.

Not only are you adjusting to a new class schedule, academically challenging classes and are perhaps outside of your comfort zone, but you have to be away from your family, too.

Maybe you’re missing your mom, your dad, your sibling or your pet and you’re feeling a little down and out.

The first thing you should know is that homesickness is perfectly normal.

There’s a good chance you’re experiencing things now that you’ve never had to experience before, so wanting to go home is a natural reaction.

Homesickness is all part of the adjustment process.

The second thing you should know about homesickness is that it’s absolutely temporary. Homesickness lasts as long as you let it.

Who says you should stay in your dorm and worry about what’s going on back home when there’s a whole world of possibilities out there for you to explore?

Melanie Payne, director of New Student Orientation, said homesickness is more common among freshmen than students might think.

Even the most seasoned traveler or independent student will experience homesickness at some point during their freshman year.

“Most students think they’re not going to go through it,” she said.

But when it finally hits them, she said, it can be a little hard to combat.

When the homesickness hits, it’s important that students are able to hit back.

We put together a list of some tips and tricks on how to combat homesickness during your freshman year.

Clean your room Okay, so this sounds boring. But cleaning and doing laundry helps me keep my mind off things, so it’s worth a shot. Put on some music (not too loud!) and dust, do your laundry or clean your desk.

Get out So you’ve realized you are alone in your dorm on a Friday night. You don’t have to be alone in your dorm on a Friday night.

Take a walk over to the Union and see what’s going on. Play pool or go bowling. If there’s a movie showing at the Whittenberger Auditorium, take your ID and go watch it for free.

If going out by yourself doesn’t float your boat, maybe you can move your Netflix party of one to your floor lounge at your residence hall. Sure, it can be a little intimidating to go sit in a lounge with people you don’t know, but you can make friends that way. Plus, you can sit in the corner and people-watch, which is the ultimate time-passing activity.

It’s a win-win-win situation.

Join a club If you find that there’s a specific time of the week or day during which homesickness hits you the hardest, find something to do to distract yourself. One way of doing this is by joining a club to fill that particular time.

Now, I’m not saying you should go out and fill every second of free time you have, because you should definitely allow yourself time to decompress.

There are countless student organizations here at IU for you to get involved in that require varied time commitments. There are service-based organizations that allow you to explore Bloomington while completing community service.

There is also a wide selection of club sports from ballroom dancing to basketball. Join a team and work off some of the stress from your finite class or get your mind off of how much you miss your stubborn-but-lovable little sister.

I know this is easier said than done because it’s not always easy to put yourself out there in social situations. But what’s worse? Being stuck in your dorm alone all evening or having to make small talk?

Phone home If you’re missing a specific person, whether it’s your mom, your dad, your sibling or your pet, give them a call.

Sometimes you just need to hear someone tell you everything is going to be OK. It’s nice to hear that reminder.

Skype or FaceTime Sometimes it’s even nicer to see their smiling faces. If you have the option, try talking to your family via FaceTime or Skype.

Sometimes you can use this as an excuse to show your roommate how cute your dog is.

I met my friend’s dog, Teddy, over FaceTime, which was pretty great.

Fighting the freshman 15

By Anthony Broderick aebroder@indiana.edu

While freshman year is considered the year in which all students gain 15 pounds, no one at IU has an excuse to let this happen.

With the resources available to you on IU’s campus, you can fight the freshman 15.

There are two large fitness facilities found on campus in convenient locations for students to attend to before or after class.

The Student Recreational Sports Center Where 1601E. Law Lane The Student Recreational Sports Center (SRSC) is the main gym on campus. The SRSC works to inform and inspire others to lead active and healthy lifestyles, according to the center’s website. It also strives to be the most competitive and progressive recreational sports program in the country.

The gym serves many different fitness functions and offers a variety of recreational areas, including strength and cardio areas, group exercise, yoga and Pilates studios, seven racquetball/wallyball courts, two

Orienter 2015

squash courts, table tennis and badminton, an indoor track and a pool and diving well.

Wildermuth Intramural Center Where 1025 E. Seventh St., across from Indiana Memorial Union The Wildermuth Intramural Building (WIC) is IU’s first recreational sports facility.

Habits to avoid

We all have bad habits, but these are some of the worst to have during college.

By Rachel Wisinski rlwisins@indiana.edu

3

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.

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,” junior 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, says 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.

4

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.

“If you are taking care of your body, you will feel energized, rested, and more focused,” Shepherd said.

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 at the bars. Plus, you need a new outfit for your date. Though not essential, these expenses are part of the college experience.

Daniel Spore, adjunct lecturer in the Kelley School of Business finance department, said students may be able to save money if they compare prices of products and services across different stores and shops.

“If you can walk a block and save $3 on a transaction, then do so,” Spore said.

Other unnecessary expenses include parking, fast food and replacement policies on electronics, including cell phones.

“There are lots of local newspapers that have coupons that students can benefit from if they take the time to look and clip,” Spore said.

Students create their own majors with IMP

By Claire Aronson cearonso@indiana.edu

Animated movies by Disney and Pixar took on a new meaning for Sydni Gregg.

Gregg created her animation major through IU’s Individualized Major Program.

Her focus was 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 had two sponsors instead of 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 the 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 at IU. “Originally, I came to IU as a biochemistry major, and after my first semester freshman year, it was just really clear that wasn’t what I wanted to do forever,” she said.

All IMP students have to make a final project as a culmination of what they have been doing during their time at IU, Gregg said.

“Hopefully by that time, I will have the skill set to make a short animated film,” she said.

Get to know IMP Interested in potentially exploring your own individualized major? Here’s some information about the program and how you can get started.

control their education.

How do I get involved?

Many students apply during their sophomore and junior years, according to the program’s website, but students may apply as early as second semester of their freshman year.

The process The first step is to set up a meeting with the IMP assistant director. After that, students identify faculty sponsors and secure their approval, design a four-year curriculum and participate in an admission interview.

Then, they continue working on their majors and B.A. requirements. The program culminates in a final project meant to show the skills they’ve gained.

What is IMP?

Past majors

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 students to

Zoology, animation, enigmatology (the study of puzzles), 2-D and 3-D film and television direction, peace and conflict resolution studies, intercultural arts programming and performance, Scandinavian culture and language and magic (yes, magic).

CORINNE LAMBERT

Class of 2011 graduate Joe Masek stands with one of his pieces featured in the Candy-Coated Chaos exhibition as his final project of the Individualized Major Program at the McCalla School. Masek, who studied pre-art therapy, created some of the pieces in the show with children from the foster home where he grew up as a way to demonstrate how art is helpful in healing emotional wounds.

The Certificate in Islamic Studies, offered by the School of Global and International Studies, is ideal for those who wish to broaden their cultural knowledge and to develop linguistic skills and international credentials for careers in different areas of the Muslim world.

University Information Technology Services provides tips for computer security S

By Lindsey Erdody lerdody@indiana.edu

Moving onto 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 figure out how to keep their laptops safe.

Problems and Solutions Rondot suggests students run Get Connected, getconnected.iu.edu, before coming to campus, so that it only takes a few minutes to set up once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here. He said doing this will also set up a wireless connection.

Charles Rondot, former 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 he offered more advice for students learning how to use campus Internet.

Printing Procedures

Computer Safety

Still need help?

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.

Rondot suggests running anti-virus software and OS updates and being sure not to click suspicious links or give out your username and password.

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

Find 24-hour support at 812-855-6789, or at ithelplive.iu.edu or email help at ithelp@iu.edu. Find walk-up help at the UITS Support Center in Herman B Wells Library.

Hours for the support center are 8 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, noon to 5 p.m.
