Letter from the Provost, Lauren Robel Welcome to Indiana University-Bloomington! Whether you are in town for a campus visit or conference, a sporting event or lecture, or for one of the many arts events and festivals for which IU and the city of Bloomington are known, I hope you’ll take the time to explore our campus, which in February 2017 was named one of the most beautiful campuses in the U.S. by Travel & Leisure Magazine. Stroll through our tree-lined grounds, surrounded by majestic buildings made of limestone from quarries in Bloomington and the surrounding region. You’ll find plenty of open walking paths and green spaces, such as the IU Arboretum next to the historic Herman B Wells Library and the Global and International Studies Building, or Dunn’s Woods, adjacent to the Media School in Franklin Hall, just through the iconic Sample Gates at the intersection of Kirkwood and Indiana avenues.
While you’re here, take some time to see the many beautiful pieces of public art throughout campus. Take a selfie with bronze sculptures of important figures in IU Bloomington’s history, starting with famed World War II journalist Ernie Pyle outside Franklin Hall. Next along the path is the statue of former IU president and chancellor Herman B Wells outside of Maxwell Hall, followed by Hoosier singer-songwriter Hoagy Carmichael, whose bronze form sits at his piano outside our renowned IU Cinema. Also look for a 10,000-pound limestone brain sculpture in front of our Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and the iconic sculpture of Venus in Showalter Fountain in front of the IU Auditorium. I invite you to enjoy our many cultural centers, museums and performance spaces. Each year the IU Auditorium brings world-famous performers and Broadway productions to Bloomington. The IU Cinema is one of
the Midwest’s premier venues for independent films and has drawn such filmmakers and actors as Ava DuVernay, Glenn Close and Jonathan Banks. The Jacobs School of Music and the Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance present student-run performances year-round, including the collaborative Hammer & Nail concert each spring. The Grunwald Gallery is the region’s top venue for contemporary art, and often features student-curated exhibitions, while the Mathers Museum of World Cultures is one of the world’s leading anthropological museums. We are so proud of our beautiful campus and our place in the vibrant, diverse Bloomington community. For nearly 200 years, IU has called Bloomington home, and we hope you feel at home during your time here. Lauren Robel, Provost and Executive Vice President

HOOSIER? WHAT IS A HOOSIER?
By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor
The bright crimson trident that represents IU is symbolic of the Indiana Hoosiers, but for many, it is hard to pinpoint what a Hoosier is. There is no consensus on the word’s origin, and its meaning still provokes debate today. According to the University’s website, a Hoosier is not a mascot, animal, a bird or a mythical creature of any description. “A Hoosier is a proud member of the IU family,” the website said. On campus, the Hoosier identity encompasses anyone and everyone, from athletes to professors to musicians. While IU’s campus is composed of many people from around the country and world, the Hoosier identity is the common factor among students and faculty alike. Indiana natives have referred to themselves and their neighbors as Hoosiers for decades. However, just this January, the U.S. Government Publishing Office officially declared Indiana residents to be Hoosiers. The name Hoosiers was selected instead of previously used terms such as Indianans.
“I’m glad that the federal government has agreed to our change and will now call us what we call ourselves, Hoosiers,” Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Indiana, said in a video about the name change. “It’s been a long time coming.” On Jan. 12., Donnelly and Sen. Todd Young, R-Indiana, announced the new official name to the public. Young said the Hoosier identity is who we are, not just the title of a classic movie or a name for IU athletic teams. However, the idea of a Hoosier and where the word came from is unclear. Hoosier first became a part of the vernacular around the 1830s, according the Indiana Historical Society, and in 1848 Hoosier was defined by Bartlett’s Dictionary of Americanisms as someone residing in Indiana. Jeffrey Graf of the Reference Services Department at Herman B Wells Library compiled a report titled “The Word Hoosier” detailing the history of the term Hoosier. Hoosier used to mean “hick” or “unskilled fellow,” according to Graf’s report which was last updated in July. Graf points to Jacob Piatt Dunn as an early expert on the
Hoosier namesake. Dunn served as the secretary of the Indiana Historical Society and published three articles in the early 1900s. In Dunn’s studies of the etymology of “Hoosier,” he found three common characteristics of it, Graf said in “The Word Hoosier.” Hoosier was used to describe unsophisticated people, had a Southern origin and was intended to be applied to the people of Indiana, though there is some conflict over the third point. “The third characteristic, he finds, is true for many of the explanations, but untrue of the word itself, for it had long been used in the south as a derogatory term for a rough countryman,” Graf wrote in the report. “His correspondents assured him, too, that the term continued in its use and meaning at the time of his research, without reference to Indiana.” While there may not be a definitive conclusion anytime soon on where “Hoosier” is from and what it truly means, students will continue to cheer “Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoosiers,” at basketball games, football games and many other sporting events. Hoosier pride, too, will likely remain unchanged.
WHAT IS AN IU HOOSIER? From a fluffy, white collie dog to a live bison, IU has seen a variety of mascots over the years. 1935 - White collie 1951 - Dick Albers dressed as a Hoosier schoolmaster debuted with a gymnastics routine to rile the crowd up for games. 1959 - Theta Chi’s house dog Ox served as a Hoosier mascot for several years. 1965 - The first official school mascot, a bison, was selected. When attempts to use a live bison failed, the school turned to using a costume. 1979 - One of the most disliked mascots, cowboy-ish Mr. Hoosier Pride, only lasted a couple of seasons.

Get to know the
IU Visitor Information Center By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@umail.iu.edu | @achryssovergis
Across Indiana Avenue and to the left of the Sample Gates, there’s a small office called the Visitor Information Center at IU-Bloomington. Its staff gets asked all kinds of questions from all types of people — sometimes it even gets asked where to buy a prom dress. The IDS sat down with the director at the center and some of the students who work there and asked them about the place and their experience there. Do you think a lot of people know about this place? Nicole Griffin, director — I think some people know about it. I think at times there’s definitely some confusion as to where it is and maybe what all we offer. I think a lot of times when you think of a visitor’s center, you think of a place for visitors. I think because we are a visitors and information center, obviously we’re here for visitors but we also have additional information. So I think what we try to do is make sure people understand that yes, there might be visitor in the name of our office, but it doesn’t mean that people can’t come even when they’ve moved past the stage of being a visitor. Do people often come in who aren’t visitors? What kinds of things will they ask about? Collin Pellettieri, junior studying economics — They’ll ask where certain things are on campus. Every once in awhile I’ll get a question about, like, where’s the best place to park for free. I tell them that there’s not really much to park for free on campus. There’s this one small spot that I located by Smallwood that’s hidden. That’s the only free parking place on campus without a permit required. It’s super hidden, it’s kind of a sketchy lot. I called to make sure, and they were like, ‘yeah, it’s fine
to park there.’ Griffin — We also have a lot of returning alums who will stop in because they need to get the lay of the land, because, you know, obviously if you haven’t been here for 20-30 years, things have changed. We get a lot of random questions as well. I know we had a time where someone came in looking for a prom dress, and it was really quite amusing because the student working hadn’t had to buy a prom dress so he suggested Target. Do you guys give tours, too? Jessica Eilks, senior studying finance and operations management — Usually at least two a week if not more. It’s dependent upon if we have special tours. But we give an international scholars tour and we give a prospective student tour at least every week, almost. Griffin — I would say as far as tours, one of the things that makes us different from the office of admissions is that our tour that we give on Sundays, which is a traditional campus tour, is open to prospective students, undergraduate students, but it’s also open to anyone else. We also do a lot of tours for middle school students. We have a scavenger hunt for elementary school students. The nice thing about having the variety of students that we have is that they are able to cater the tours to different audiences. We even did some tours this past fall for Themester. It focused on the theme, which was beauty. We have a golf cart we can use for VIP tours or people who are experiencing physical challenges What are your favorite places to show people on your tours? Joe Glauber, sophomore studying media advertising — I’d say the new Franklin Hall because I’m a media student here and it’s brand new. Kaleigh Howland, sophomore studying journalism and

theater and drama — I love the arts circle, like the fountain and everything in that area. I think it’s really indicative of IU’s campus and how busy it is but also how serene the fountain is. Do you guys have any funny stories from tours or anything? Eilks — I would definitely say that a lot of funny stories come out of the international scholars tour, just because there’s a lot of cultural differences. I know for a fact I have a ton of selfies with random tourists and scholars. I’ve had people ask me what rain boots are and why you need them. Griffin — We had a group of students who had not seen squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks. It was really funny because on the spot, [a tour guide] was able to describe and explain the different attributes of these animals, but quickly and clearly. Do you have any fun facts
about IU that you like to tell people? Joe Glauber, sophomore studying media advertising — The chemistry building, how each window is dedicated to a different element of the periodic table. That’s always a good one. Is there anything that people are ever really surprised about? Shassberger — How much green space there is and how pretty the campus is. I’ve only been on three tours, but I feel like every time, somebody has pointed out the other campuses they’ve been to, they just haven’t looked as beautiful as ours. Eilks — Or how big it is too. Especially because as a senior, I’ve become accustomed to how big it is, but then I remember back to when I was in high school and saw the campus and the classrooms, and I thought, ‘oh my God, this is huge, I’m gonna get so lost.’

A GUIDE TO
EXPERT COLUMN
THE FINE ARTS PLAZA The Fine Arts Plaza Opening With a flat topography, the Fine Arts Plaza, located in the heart of campus, was planned to be symmetrical. The Fine Arts Building, the Lilly Library and the IU Auditorium create edges of a square framing the circular Showalter Fountain. Meanwhile, four old trees are located at four corners of the fountain zone. Eskenazi Museum of Art The Eskenazi Museum of Art is not in the shape of normal cube, like most of the other buildings. Instead, the structure of the museum is a combination of two triangular pyramids. This interesting pyramid was designed by a modernist architect, I.M. Pei. Pei is world-renowned for designing the Louvre Pyramid, the John F. Kennedy Library and the National Gallery of Art. Some describe Pei’s design style as modernist with cubist themes, which means he turns traditional architectural elements into simple geometric patterns. “An individual building, the style in which it is going to be designed and built, is not that important,” Pei said in the 1982 American Architecture book by Barbaralee Diamonstein. “The important thing, really, is the community. How does it affect life?” This art museum is located on East Seventh Street. This street, coupling with the expansion of museum’s building, plays the role of a visual cue to lead viewers to the Fine Arts Plaza. The Eskenazi Museum of Art’s collection is of an international scale and guides can provide tours for students to engage with the culture behind the art. The museum received a donation from Sidney and Lois Eskenazi in May 2016, and the museum will use this money to expand its space into the old Fine Arts Library, which will move to Wells Library. The museum will close to the public in May 2017 for renova-

tions and reopen in the spring of 2020. Showalter Fountain Fish As a center, connection and landmark of the Fine Arts Plaza, the Showalter Fountain fish are both global and local. The centerpiece of Showalter Fountain was designed by Robert Laurent, who was a professor of fine arts at IU. His design is a rendition of the myth of the birth of Venus. The birth of Venus symbolizes the meaning of beauty and connects four limestone buildings which represent music, studio art, drama, culture and art. The concept of beauty summarizes the core of various art forms. This bronze sculpture also has a sense of exoticism. Because Laurent left IU for vacation in 1954, the design and construction of this sculpture was finished in Rome. This greatly influenced the art. Laurent fell in love with the lost wax process, a traditional Italian technique of bronze casting at that time. Thus, he changed his original plans about creating
the sculpture in marble. The fountain was completed in 1961, at which point the IU Auditorium and Lilly Library were completed and the Fine Arts Building was in its final planning stages. The funding for the completion of the Showalter Fountain dolphins was contributed by Grace Showalter. She gifted this fountain to IU in memory of her husband, Ralph W. Showalter. A must-see landmark at IU, the Showalter Fountain fish provide students and visitors a great spot for viewing the Fine Arts Plaza. Fine Arts Building The establishment of the Fine Arts Building was a dream of former IU President Herman B Wells and realized by Henry R. Hope, who served as the director of the museum until his retirement in 1971. Their dream came true in 1962 but started small. When Hope arrived, the School of Fine Arts had just two faculty members.
Before having its own building, the fine arts program caused frustration with the fragmentation of the program and the absence of a secure place to exhibit artwork. Hope’s dream, however, was realized after 19 years. In 1939, when the IU Auditorium was completed, it was proposed to locate the future School of Fine Arts on the site north of the plaza. The design of the building represents the general plan of campus landscape design. The columns on the face of the Fine Arts Building were designed to complement the auditorium, which has columns on its face. The fine arts program at IU has become a top-50 program in the United States. The Lilly Library Opposite to the Fine Arts Building, this building is modern Greek architecture. Architects designed this building to be in harmony with the auditorium and the other buildings on campus. At the very beginning, the

south of the Fine Arts Plaza was proposed for an open-air theater to form a sort of cultural center. However, the idea changed when Josiah K. Lilly gave IU his private collections of rare books, first editions, manuscripts and paintings. Lilly was the original the owner of Lilly Pharmaceuticals in Indianapolis. People described Lilly as the United States’ quiet collector, who was
first noticed by the public when he presented his collection to IU in 1956. With these valuable collections, the Lilly Library was built for three purposes. First, playing the role of a museum, the library dramatizes the book and exhibit material of intellectual worth. Second, the library will give the best physical care and conservation for the collections. Third,
the establishment of the Lilly Library aims to provide working space for scholars and students to use these primary resources effectively. With these purposes and designing by Eggers & Higgins, the Lilly Library corresponds to the other structures in the Fine Arts Plaza dedicated to culture and art. The Lilly Library also has a strong collection of paint-
ings and more than 100,000 volumes and 1.5 million manuscripts. They illustrate significant development of Western civilization. Additionally, the Lilly Library has the largest collection of mechanical puzzles in the world.

Herman B Wells
remembered as legend

E
ighty years ago, IU appointed its 11th president. Those who knew him say he was a joyful, innovative man who evolved IU much into what it is today. This new figurehead would be much more than just a University name — he would become a legend and an inspiration for students, staff and faculty years down the line. In his time as president, Herman B Wells signed more than 62,000 diplomas for IU graduates, according to online IU archives. “But whether I recognized the name or not, in the act of signing I felt some individual participation in the joy and satisfaction of each graduate who had won his degree with conscientious work and application,” Wells said in a 1962 commencement speech. Wells was born in 1902 in Jamestown, Indiana.
He had a normal upbringing. Wells’ notoriously gracious and accepting personality could be detected even at a young age, as he was nominated “Funniest” and “Best All-Round Boy” in high school, according to online IU archives.
was not the last the University would see of Wells. After years of work and continuing education in pursuit of his master’s degree, Wells returned to IU to teach economics. In 1935 he became dean of the business school. Just two years af-
“There are larger universities in America. There are older universities in America. There are none, however, more typical of the American ideal of educational opportunity for all youth and cultural leadership for all citizens.” Herman B Wells, former IU president
Although Wells initially attended college in Illinois, during his sophomore year, he returned to his home state of Indiana in 1921. He was active in the IU greek community, as a brother of Sigma Nu fraternity. In 1924, Wells graduated with a degree in business with a specialty in economics. Although his time as a student had come to an end, this
ter this promotion, Wells became president of the University after the sudden resignation of William Lowe Bryan. While Wells only wanted to be acting president, he was in this position for 25 years. During his presidency, Wells brought innovation and life to the University. He worked toward putting an end to the segregation-
ist era at the University. He consistently tried integrating students of different backgrounds together in dining services, living accommodations and athletics. Wells encouraged the vibrancy of new educational ideas as well. His adamancy about human discovery and the freedom to pursue personal interests is what led to the continuance of the Kinsey Institute, an organization dedicated to the research of human sexuality and relationships, which was deemed controversial decades ago. Consistently voted as one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States, IU’s plethora of landscaping and greenery were also inspired by Wells. IU historian Jim Capshew said the Wells administration was primarily responsible for the growth of the IU campus from a little more than 130 acres to that of almost 1,800. “The current campus is rough-
Spring/Summer 2017 ly 2,000 acres, so the Wells administration is largely responsible for acquiring the IUB footprint,” Capshew said. This growth in physical land is what allowed the campus to expand and support over 45,000 students who today call IU home. To Wells, a college campus was more than just a place of academic discovery but one of personal discovery. He believed the campus environment, in its entirety, should be welcoming to students, staff, faculty, visitors but also to ideas, innovations and dreams. “There are larger universities in America,” Wells said at a special opera performance at the
Source Visitor’s Guide IU Auditorium, “There are older universities in America. There are none, however, more typical of the American ideal of educational opportunity for all youth and cultural leadership for all citizens.” After years of service to the University, Wells died in 2000 at his home here in Bloomington. Despite his death, the university continues to uphold his passion for diversity and culture in campus life. Located on campus near the Rose Well Fountain, just beyond Sample Gates is Wells’ statue— hand outstretched to meet new Hoosiers, his smile gleaming in the sunshine, in the heart of campus, his forever home.

The return IU’s baseball program has been growing since its historic 2013 season By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @TaylorRLehman
When the IU Board of Trustees approved the $19.8-million proposal to build a new IU baseball stadium in August 2011, it didn’t realize the boom that was about to rattle IU sports. Standouts Dustin DeMuth and Joey DeNato were just freshmen. Current big leaguer Micah Johnson was a sophomore. World Series Champion Kyle Schwarber hadn’t worn an IU uniform yet. Construction began in 2012 and ended in 2013, as Sembower Field was replaced with Bart Kaufman Stadium just in time for the program-altering season that was 2013. “Like most historical events, it wasn’t just one thing,” IU associate athletics director Jeremy Gray said. “When you marry together an improved stadium, the best Indiana team in 30 years and the four best players in 140 years, it was bound to happen.” Gray, who broadcasted for IU baseball between 2009 and 2013, said he remembers the days when “around 200 people” would attend IU baseball games. Those days were even after the four consecutive seasons — 2004-2007 — the Hoosiers finished 10th in the Big Ten.

The 22-year reign of former IU Coach Bob Morgan came to an end, and Tracy Smith took his place in 2005. IU hadn’t won a regular season Big Ten championship since 1949, and it had never made a College World Series appearance. Then came the 2013 boom. DeMuth hit .377, Schwarber hit a team-high 18 home runs, and Scott Donley and Sam Travis led the team with 61 and 57 RBIs, respectively. Starting pitchers Aaron Slegers, Kyle Hart and DeNato combined to go 28-6 on the season. The Hoosiers won the most games — 49 — in a single season in program history and advanced to the College World Series, where they were defeated by Oregon State in the second round. The thought of IU in the College World Series was merely in jokes about the program and false hopes in most preseasons, but suddenly, Kaufman Stadium was selling out, and people in Bloomington were talking about the IU baseball team.
“Now I have people following me on Twitter just for the connection I have and used to have to IU baseball,” Gray said. “When you look at northern destinations, IU is becoming one of the best for baseball culture.” Three years removed from the historic season, Tracy Smith has taken a job to coach Arizona State, the Hoosiers have hired current IU Coach Chris Lemonis, and Schwarber has become a national representation for IU baseball after he helped the Chicago Cubs to their first World Series Championship in 108 years. Schwarber has become one of the most identifiable IU alumni. He was an honorary IU basketball captain at the IU-North Carolina game, featured on the scoreboard at IU football games as an IU graduate and pictured on a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune that IU funded to congratulate him on his World Series. At the same time, Lemonis and the Hoosiers are in
Bloomington trying to reclaim the prestige they had in 2013. In Lemonis’ first season, IU finished sixth in the Big Ten and then third in 2016. 6. Both seasons came me after IU won the Big Ten in back-to-back ack seasons for the first time since the tournament urnament began in 1981. With the Big Ten Tournament coming to Bloomington for the first time in n May, Lemonis and the Hoosiers iers are seeing some of their labors bors produce fruits since the 2013 013 season. “We inherited d a really talented group,” Lemonis said. “The goal was to keep the program moving forward, rward, which we feel like we have.” ve.”

It was 1950, and Wilcox, the founder of the IU Student Foundation, wanted to find a way to build a sense of community within the University. “He was really looking for a way to engage students within the University,” IUSF Steering Committee President Anne Broach said 67 years later. “He wanted to help them feel like they were part of something and giving back to the University.” That fall Wilcox came across an informal bike race of students living in Hickory Hall, Broach said. They had a crowd
cheering them on. Wilcox, the son of a racecar driver who’d won the Indianapolis 500 in 1919, had his idea. The next year, according to the IUSF’s website, 7,000 students attended the first Little 500 race. Since then, Broach said it’s become a cultural event that regularly draws 25,000 attendees and has raised millions of dollars for scholarships. The race — the largest collegiate bike race in the country, according to the website — pits teams of four against each other in a miles-long race around Bill Armstrong Stadium’s quarter-mile track. The men’s race is 200 laps, or 50 miles long, and the women’s is 100 laps, or 25 miles. The Little 500 has grown in
both scope and cultural capital over the past half-century. The 1970s and 1980s in particular saw a handful of events now considered milestones in the race’s history. In 1979, the film “Breaking Away,” which depicted a fictionalized version of the race, was released to box office success, critical acclaim and, eventually, a slew of Academy Award nominations. Steering Committee Vice President Brad Yu said the first independent team — that is, one not associated with a fraternity — participated in the race in 1984. Broach said the majority of teams are still affiliated with greek life, but the balance has shifted. Of the 77 teams registered for the 2017 race, 54 are greek-affiliated, two are affiliat-
ed with residence halls and 21 are independent, she said. Two thousand seventeen is the 30th anniversary of a particularly significant update to the race, Yu said: the women’s bike race, which will take place April 21 this year. The men’s race will be the following day. Broach said the race has gained a reputation as the center of a party weekend. “Someone who’s not involved in the student foundation would probably call it the greatest college weekend in the country,” Broach said. However, she said she hopes people also realize the race’s other significances. Its ticket sales fund student scholarships, with a total of more than $2 million raised since the

IU ATHLETIC FACILITIES Basketball: Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall 1001 E. 17th Street
Originally opened in 1971, Assembly Hall has been considered home to the IU men’s and women’s basketball teams for nearly 50 years. Inside the hall is Branch McCracken Court, named for IU’s coach through most of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. In 2013, alumna Cindy Simon Skjodt donated an Athletic Department-record $40 million to the renovation of Assembly Hall. In 2016, construction was completed and the building was renamed for her. Also in Assembly Hall is the new Mark Cuban Center for Sports Media and Technology, comprised of state-of-the-art sports media technology for athletes, students and staff, the “Spirit of ’76” Club and Ken Nunn Champions Plaza.
Baseball: Bart Kaufman Field 1878 N. Fee Lane
Construction on the 2,500-seat stadium began in 2012 and was completed for the 2013 season. The field is entirely turf, so there’s no grass or sand to maintain. It was host to the NCAA Regionals in 2013 and 2014 and will be host to the Big Ten Tournament this spring. It was named for former baseball player and principal donor Bart Kaufman, the chairman of Kaufman Financial Corp. Football: Memorial Stadium 701 E. 17th St. The home of IU football isn’t just a home for Coach Tom Allen’s boys but also the entire athletic department. As part of the “For All” bicentennial campaign, Memorial Stadium will lose its space structure and the south end zone will be enclosed to complete the “Circle of Excellence.” The new facility will contain the Memorial Stadium Excellence Academy with resources for student-athletes. Volleyball, Wrestling: University Gym 2721 E. 10th St. The University Gym is home to IU’s volleyball and wrestling teams. Though built in 1963 as part of the School of Education, IU Athletics seized it as its own for the gym and other facilities inside. The gymnasium saw improvements throughout the 1990s and 2000s but will soon become obsolete as a plan for a new indoor arena for the sports was announced with the “For All” bicentennial campaign. Tennis: IU Tennis Center 1873 N. Fee Lane The IU Tennis Center features both indoor and outdoor courts for the teams to practice on regardless of the weather outside. The outdoor facility has 10 courts and seating for more than 600, while the indoor facility has eight courts, locker rooms and seating for 300. FOR MORE, SEE ATHLETICS, PAGE 26

After being designated a free speech space, the open field has been home to decades of marches, concerts, protests and historic moments. This is the history of
Dunn Meadow.
In 1962, the IU Board of Trustees designated Dunn Meadow as the only space on campus for spontaneous free speech. The trustees might have tried to do students a favor by giving them a space to express themselves, but by designating free speech, they also limited it. This timeline shows just a glimpse of how different groups and cultures have used the meadow from 1962 to the present and how each expressed their own wishes and remembrances in a single, historical space.

Ernie Pyle remains a campus icon By Jamie Zega jzega@indiana.edu | @jzegss
Though the School of Journalism has dissolved and Ernie Pyle Hall is vacant, the legacy of the World War II journalist still lives on in Bloomington in the form of a bronze statue in front of the newly renovated Franklin Hall. Pyle, born in 1900 in Dana, Indiana, was a foreign correspondent who gained notability through his ability to tell stories of these faraway lands at war. Before he became Scripps-Howard’s most famous product, he was a student at IU. Journalism wasn’t an available major at the time, but Pyle took journalism classes because a friend told him they’d be easy. Luckily for Pyle, he was good at it. He was one semester away from graduating from IU when he received an offer to work at the LaPorte Herald in LaPorte, Indiana. Rather than graduate, Pyle started work. He worked at various newspapers, and, in 1940, he went to London to cover the Battle of Britain. He reported throughout the European theater and North Africa and eventually wound up in Normandy for the D-Day invasion in June of 1944. That same year he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for war correspondence. In 1944, Pyle was invited to campus to receive IU’s first-ever honorary degree of humane letters. This was his last visit to Bloomington, and that spring he went to cover the Pacific theater. On April 18, 1945, Pyle was killed by machine gun fire on the Japanese island of Ie Shima. Seventy-two years later, Pyle still has an ever-changing presence on the Bloomington campus. Perhaps most notable is the sculpture of Pyle just inside IU’s most notable landmark, Sample Gates. After the announcement of the Media School merger and disintegration of the School of Journalism, many alumni were concerned about the state of the program. When it was announced that the Media School
would be housed in a refurbished Franklin Hall rather than Ernie Pyle, Pyle’s legacy came into question. So, in October 2014, a sculpture of Pyle by Harold “Tuck” Langland was installed in front of Franklin Hall. Though the Media School would not move out of Ernie Pyle Hall for almost two more years, a bronze version of Pyle had found a home on campus. However, two days before the sculpture was to be dedicated, a misspelling was found on Pyle’s patch on his left arm. “Correspondent” was spelled “corespondent.” The mistake was later corrected by Detroit artist Giorgio Gikas. Within the Media School, his legacy lives on in the Ernie Pyle Scholars program, the journalism’s honors cohort for the top students in each class. The scholars take advanced journalism classes throughout their four years and learn about and study the works of their namesake. Learning about Pyle is not limited to EPS, though. One of the Media School’s many travel courses carried over from the old journalism school is J418: In The Footsteps of Ernie Pyle, a course in which students study Pyle and other World War II journalists for an entire semester and spend spring break abroad in Pyle’s “footsteps” — London, Normandy and Paris — touring the places Pyle reported from during the war. Those places include St. Bride’s Church in London and Omaha Beach in Normandy, France. One of most treasured items of Pyle’s legacy in the Media School sits in the offices of the Indiana Daily Student, the newspaper Pyle worked for as a student. Now known as Ernie Pyle’s desk, the old brown desk sits in the newsroom in honor of Pyle and all other editors-in-chief to come through the IDS. Pyle was editor-in-chief in summer 1922. Editors-in-chief now have a tradition of signing the desk their last night of production. Editors as far back as the 1940s have signed the desk.

THE FIRST
WELCOME By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford
A physical and symbolic entryway to campus, Sample Gates stand at the crossway of Kirkwood and Indiana avenues on the west side of campus. However, the gates are a relatively new addition to campus and at one point that entry was not as welcoming. Edson Sample, who the gates are named after, said a one-way exit road was originally in front of Franklin Hall rather than the pathway and gates that are there now. Traffic signs reading “Do Not Enter” stood on either side of the road. Now the gates are more welcoming than the deterring traffic signs, Sample said. According to an article from the IU Library Archives by Carrie Schwier, the process of erecting a gateway at the Kirkwood Avenue entrance to the campus began with a University Arch Fund, established by the classes of 1899-1902. However, after finding out that Theodore F. Rose, an IU alumnus and trustee, was interested in a similar project, the classes redirected funds to the purchasing of chimes for the Student Building. However, Rose found the design of the arches would further block the entrance to campus, so he eventually gave up the idea and directed his attention to the Rose Well House, a stone gazebo built as a major water source for campus, the article said. Newell Sanders proposed another gateway at Kirkwood in 1931 and submitted
various designs for a possible entrance. However, the Board of Trustees wanted to wait a little longer to create a gateway that would match other buildings on campus architecturally once the campus program developed more. “The campus is really integrated in the terms of the aesthetics,” said James Capshew, university historian and professor in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine. “There are really nice buildings, paths and things like that.” After different designs were submitted from Sanders and university architects Granger & Bollenbacher, Sanders withdrew his proposal for the gateway because a consensus could not be formed, according to the article. Others showed interest throughout the years in creating a gateway, including Theodore Skinner from the Indiana Works Progress Administration and university architects Eggers and Higgins. However, it was not until 1962 that the trustees approved a contract with Eggers and Higgins. This contract agreed to close off the traffic entrance at Kirkwood and Indiana Avenues and change the previous street into grassy areas with walking space. In 1966, Benjamin H. Long expressed an interest in erecting the gateway in memory of his parents. Eggers and Higgins also created a new, modern design, steering away from the original Gothic proposals. This new design created criticism from the donor, the trustees and Chancellor Herman B Wells, the article said. In 1968,
the current design of Sample Gates was settled on. However, the building of the gateway created opposition from students, staff and community members who believed funding the project was wasteful. Wells wrote to Long expressing his regret for the criticism, and Long responded with a letter two weeks later saying he understood the gate could not proceed under the circumstances of criticism, the article said, with excerpts from the letter. The project was once again halted. Once criticism of the project settled down, Sample came forward with an interest to fund the gates and dedicate them to his parents, Louise Waite Sample and Kimsey Ownbey Sample Sr., in the 1980s. The gates were dedicated June 13, 1987. Sample’s parents were both present at the dedication ceremony, Sample said. Sample, now residing at Meadowood Retirement Community in Bloomington, did not grow up in town. He attended five different grade schools in four states, two schools in Memphis, Tennessee; one in New Orleans; one in St. Louis; and one in Fort Smith, Arkansas. However, Sample worked at the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aids at IU for 29 years. He started as the assistant director for a few years before becoming director. He estimates he had the director position for 22 or 23 years. Sample said his desire to donate the gates came from the fact that the administration throughout his time at the University had been extremely
supportive, and he wanted to give something back to the school. “He bleeds cream and crimson,” friend and member of the Media School Alumni Association Mary Dietz said. Even though students protested the gates up until, at and after the dedication ceremony, Sample said he committed to not withdrawing his money like Long did before him. He said one of the things that he likes most about the gates is that they are welcoming and bring people in instead of keeping them out. “The campus is this wonderful repository of associations,” Capshew said. “It’s a beautiful place, you can explore, you can meet people, you can have experiences in this place of beauty and memory.”

Swim and dive teams produce Olympians By Jamie Zega jzega@umail.iu.edu | @jzegss
IU Athletics has had 223 Olympic berths for athletes, coaches and judges, and 130 of those have come from the men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. In the 2016 Olympics, 17 Hoosiers represented seven countries in seven sports. Eleven of those athletes represented their various home countries as well as the IU swimming and diving program — James Connor, Amy Cozad, Kennedy Goss, Marwan El Kamash, Lilly King, Michael Hixon, Ali Khalafalla, Cody Miller, Jessica Parratto, Blake Pieroni and Anze Tavcar. Their coaches, Drew Johansen and Ray Looze, also had spots on the Team USA coaching staff as head coach and assistant coach, respectively. Their representation only continues the history of IU swimming and diving’s contribution to Olympic teams for not only the U.S. but 16 other countries as well. Of the IU Olympians’ 55 gold medals, 39 were from swimmers

and divers. Ten of 17 silvers, as well as 20 of 32 bronze medals, were from Hoosier swimmers and divers. Seven of the Hoosiers’ gold medals came from Mark Spitz in the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, when he won seven events. Spitz had the record for most gold medals won by a single athlete in a single Olympic Game until Michael Phelps won eight medals in the 2008 Beijing games. Most recently, Lilly King nabbed two gold medals in the
2016 Rio de Janiero games before starting her sophomore year at IU, and alumnus Cody Miller grabbed a gold and a bronze with Team USA. On the coaching and judging side, swimming coach James “Doc” Counsilman, who coached the Hoosiers from 1957 to 1990, and diving coach Hobie Billingsley, who coached the Hoosiers from 1959 to 1989, both led Team USA to Olympic titles. Counsilman coached both the 1964 and 1976 U.S. Olympic
teams. In that time, he coached 48 medalists, with 17 of them earning gold medals. Billingsley not only coached the 1968 and 1972 U.S. Olympics teams but also the Austrian teams in 1976 and 1980 and Danish teams in 1980. In the 1992 and 1996 Olympics, he was a judge in the diving competition. Today, the aquatics center in the Student Recreational Sports Center is named for coach Counsilman and coach Billingsley.

What’s your favorite thing to do there? I like walking around and seeing all the students in the building. I think that’s very exciting. I have to say Sugar and Spice is probably a favorite of mine. I went to IU and when I was on campus, we always had to stay at the Union hotel. It was just something we had to do. I just like being in the building. There’s a lot going on. There’s a lot of vibrant activity. People that come here, you have so many coming. We’ve had famous people stay here, and I have had the opportunity to meet some of them. It’s just a good place to be. There’s no other place like it on campus.

Kick your feet up.
2
Dip your toes. If you happen to be exploring campus on a warmer day or night, make a stop at the Showalter Fountain, located in the heart of campus. The fountain was created by the Robert Laurent and the Nicci Foundry in Rome and shipped to Bloomington in 1958. Upon completion, the fountain was dedicated in 1961. So, go ahead dip your toes in the water on a warm day.

Snap a picture.

Just steps from the entrance to the Eskenazi Art Museum is the Light Totem, an iconic sculpture that projects a dazzling display of colorful lights onto the exterior of the museum. Lie back onto the ground, kick your feet up onto the wall and watch the lights dance across the stone. The installation began as a temporary display but was kept as a permanent fixture after students were upset by its removal.
Before heading off campus, take a picture in front of Sample Gates, the iconic entryway into IU’s campus. IU was named the most Instagrammed place in Indiana in 2016, so be sure to Instagram your new memory and geo-tag it. Read more about the gates on page 20. Play “Sink the Biz” Nick’s English Hut, located on Kirkwood Avenue, is an English-style restaurant where you will find a staple for students, alumni and residents. “Sink the Biz,” Nick’s signature drinking game, requires players to pour beer into a small cup floating in a metal bucket. The person that sinks the cup drinks it. The game has a long standing history that dates back to the 1970s. Have a picnic. Grab a blanket and a couple sandwiches or some takeout food from Kirkwood or Fourth Street and have yourself a picnic in Dunn Meadow along the Jordan River. While Dunn Meadow has been the stage for rallies, festivals, demonstrations and much more, it offers the perfect backdrop for an afternoon snack or lunch.
6
See the stars. If you happen to be visiting on a clear Wednesday night, be sure to visit the Kirkwood Observatory. You will have the opportunity to view stars and planets through the large telescope that peers out of the domed retractable roof. The observatory reopens to the public March 22. Before visiting, check their Twitter, @iuastro, or their online schedule, as viewings may be canceled due to weather.
7
Meet a legend. Scattered across campus sit three bronze men important to IU. Just off Jordan Avenue you will find Hoagy Carmichael playing a note on a large piano. Throughout the year, he may be adorned with flowers or scarves. Sit with Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Ernie Pyle while he works on his next story just steps from Sample Gates and Franklin Hall. Finally, shake hands for good luck with former IU President Herman B Wells, located in the Old Crescent near Owen Hall.
8
Take a hike. Bloomington is neighbored by a handful of prime hiking locations. Located about 3.5 miles from campus, Griffy Lake Nature Preserve is a 1,200-acre nature preserve with nine trails of varying lengths and difficulties. Around 10.5 miles from campus, Lake Monroe is Indiana’s largest lake and offers five hiking trails as well as swimming areas, picnic areas and boat rentals. Lake Lemon, 16 miles from campus, has one half-mile long trail. Though short, the trail leads hiker to an overlook of the lake.
9
Eat local. Take a walk down Kirkwood Avenue or around the courthouse to find a multitude of local restaurants serving delicious entrees. Grab breakfast from The Runcible Spoon, a gyro from the Trojan Horse or a plate of chicken tikki masala at Amrit India Restaurant. There is something for everyone.
10
Order dessert. After you eat, stop in or place an order at Baked! Of Bloomington, a popular bakery on Third Street that sells customizable fresh cookies with pints of milk. While most bakeries require you to pick up your sugary treats, these warm cookies can be delivered straight to your door.

Various types of Asian food are sold in the International Market on Fourth Street.
Want information about local food? Source focuses on the IU Bloomington campus, but there are many great things to discover in Bloomington, especially its diverse food options. For detailed information about dining, flip to the dining directory on page 34. Interested in trying something new? Lined with a variety of ethnic restaurants, Fourth Street has become one of the most diverse areas to get food in Bloomington. However, during the 1980s, Fourth Street was not the collection of successful ethnic restaurants that it is today. Instead, the street was merely a residential area. Since then, houses have been renovated to serve as the restaurants Fourth Street is now known for. For detailed descriptions of some of the restaurants on Fourth Street and recommended meals to order, head to idsnews.com/source-sp17.
Football: Mellencamp Pavilion 1800 N. Dunn St.

Rowing: Dale England Rowing Center 7730 North Lakeview Dr., Unionville
Soccer and Little 500: Bill Armstrong Stadium 1606 N. Fee Lane
Basketball: Cook Hall 1051 E. 17th Street
Bill Armstrong Stadium is host to facilities for the soccer teams, Jerry Yeagley Field and the Little 500 race each year. The field is named for longtime coach Jerry Yeagley, whose son, Todd, now runs the eight-time national champion men’s soccer program. The stadium was opened in 1981 and underwent renovations in 2000, 2001 and 2005, and will receive more renovations as part of the “For All” Bicentennial Campaign.
Major funding for Cook Hall came from the “For Glory of Old IU” campaign, the first comprehensive capital campaign launched by the Athletic Department. The facility for the basketball programs was named for $15 million donors Bill and Gayle Cook of the Cook Group based in Bloomington. The hall houses practice facilities for the men’s and women’s basketball teams and coaches’ offices.
Golf: IU Golf Course 1350 N. SR 45/46
Swimming, Diving and Water Polo: Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center 1601 E. Law Lane
Unconventionally 10 miles away from campus is the home to the rowing team. The team practices and has its boathouse on Lake Lemon, a man-made body of water. In 2015, the team unveiled a brand new boathouse for the team to store boats and equipment. Track and Field: Robert C. Haugh Complex 1601 N. Fee Lane The outdoor track is named for E.C. “Billy” Hayes, a longtime track and cross-country coach. The track was resurfaced in 2010. It features nine lanes and more-than-adequate facilities in the center for field events. It’s played host to numerous Big Ten and NCAA events and the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s state meet. Track and Field: Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse 1101 E. 17th St. The indoor track and field facility features eight lanes of track and numerous areas for field events including pole vault pits, jumping pits and throwing areas. The track is a Mondo Super-X surface identical to that

Built in 1957, the IU Golf Course will undergo major renovations by 2020 as part of the “For All” Bicentennial Campaign. The golf course is open to the public, but the University teams have their own center, the Cecil W. Weathers Golf Team Center. Inside are various amenities for the teams and their staff. It was built in 2009 but got an addition in February 2016. Field Hockey: IU Field Hockey Complex 1606 N. Fee Lane IU Field Hockey finally got a home of its own in 2007 after playing its first seven seasons in
Mellencamp Pavilion. It was one of the only field hockey teams in the country to play indoors. In addition to the turf field is the Ireland Family Fieldhouse, which was added in 2009 and has team locker rooms and meeting rooms.
The aquatics center inside the Student Recreational Sports Center was opened in 1996. The facilities are home to the swimming, diving and water polo programs at IU. It includes an Olympic-sized pool and one of the country’s few indoor diving towers, which has both springboards and platforms of varying heights. Lining the walls of the aquatics center are photos of IU swimming and diving legends. Swimming and diving have produced the most Olympic athletes from the University.
Mother Bear’s Pizza Mother Bear’s pizza has been synonymous with awards. It has won the Best Pizza in Bloomington ten years in a row and Best Local Restaurant in Bloomington twice as voted by the IU community through the IDS Best of Bloomington poll. It has also received the Best Pizza in Indiana according to USA Today and one of America’s Top Nine Pizzerias according to People Magazine. Ray McConn, an IU graduate, has prided himself on keeping Mother Bear’s close to the heart of both the Bloomington and Indiana University communities. It has been serving the students and the public since 1970. Mother Bear’s has recently opened a new restaurant located on the West side of town in order to further serve the Bloomington community. Some of the reasons why Mother Bear’s is famous are its specials and specialty pizzas. The most popular, especially among students, is the “Munchie Madness.â€? This special includes pizza, breadsticks or cheese bread, two home-made brownies and a two liter bottle of soda. The most famous specialty pizza is the “Divine Swine.â€? This meat lover’s fantasy has every pizza topping imaginable; pepperoni, sausage, ham and bacon. If you are feeling more on the healthy side, try the house salad [OH[ PZ \UPX\L MVY P[Z .VSKĂ„ZO JYHJRLY [VWWPUN instead of croutons. The restaurant is always busy and packed with patrons, but you are guaranteed that your long wait will be rewarded.
