What is a Hoosier? BY MICHELA TINDERA mtindera@indiana.edu
OK, we get it. No one knows what a Hoosier is. But that hasn’t stopped the student body throughout the last century from defining what it could mean. From a fluffy Collie dog to a live, raging bull, here are some of IU’s mascot attempts and failures. WHITE COLLIE, debuted 1935 Sororities and fraternities raised money to purchase a white Collie, which was selected from a poll run by an honorary upperclassmen’s organization in the Indiana Daily Student. Though there were plans to unveil the Collie at the Nov. 23, 1935, IU-Purdue football game, it is unclear whether the mascot ever came to fruition. In the last known report, students had raised only $37.27 of the $75 necessary to purchase a pedigreed pooch. HOOSIER SCHOOLMASTER, debuted 1951 Then-sophomore Dick Albershardt would come out at the beginning of games dressed as an old man, sporting a grey wig and glasses. He would throw them off and perform a gymnastics routine to get fans riled up for the game. But according to an IDS article from Feb. 19, 1952, the audience’s reception of the Schoolmaster was not always warm. The article said, “In 50 years from now, if we keep the tradition, the Hoosier Schoolmaster, like the University of Illinois Indian, will arouse spirit just by walking onto the floor and will carry a fervent significance for all students and alumni of IU.” Unfortunately, the Schoolmaster went the same way as the Illinois Indian and faded into the tomes of mascot history. OX THE BULLDOG, debuted 1959 Theta Chi’s house dog, Ox, made the transition from fraternity pet to school mascot and
served for several years of his life. He could be found around the football games wearing a red sweater with a white “I” sewn on. And in 1966, he was even walked by Mary Travers of folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary when she visited IU for a game. BISON, debuted 1965 This was known as the school’s first official mascot because the Student Senate selected it in an official vote. And though the University attempted to purchase a live buffalo for the second time — the first attempt was in 1946 — the plan was foiled yet again by safety concerns for both the bull and the crowd. Instead, Disney helped create a $1,400 costume. Despite the high costs, they forgot to cut out eyeholes in the bull’s head, making mascot performances especially difficult. The buffalo head was eventually hung up for good in 1969 due to criticism from fans and alumni.
ARBUTUS FILE PHOTO
Student Athletic Board members pose for a photo with one of IU’s many failed mascots, the bison. This early version of the bison was only used for one football season in 1956.
MR. HOOSIER PRIDE, debuted 1979 Probably one of the most strongly disliked mascots of Hoosier history, this costumed cowboy had to be played by two students in the course of one football game because the costume was so heavy, hot and difficult to maneuver in. One of Mr. Hoosier Pride’s most memorable moments was tackling the Brigham Young University cougar mascot when IU made an appearance at the Holiday Bowl, but students and alumni alike supposedly hated this mascot. One student wrote to the IDS, saying, “Mr. Hoosier Pride is the most asinine and ridiculouslooking character anyone could have dreamed up to be IU’s mascot.” In addition, several alumni sent letters demanding the mascot’s removal. Mr. Hoosier Pride eventually hung up the costume after only a couple of seasons.

Students participate in the Indian Holi festival in Dunn Meadow. Concerts, protests and cultural events are all a part of Dunn Meadow’s long history on campus.
MULTIPURPOSE MEADOW Dunn Meadow has been home to a wide variety of activites and events over time BY JAKE NEW jakenew@indiana.edu
It often plays host to games of Frisbee and intramural Gaelic hurling matches. In warm months, it is filled with sun bathers and students reading and studying in the shade of trees. It is Dunn Meadow, and rain or shine, IU students and Bloomington residents enjoy it for what it is — a meadow. But throughout the past century, this meadow has been many other things. A RUNWAY In 1911, an airplane drove across Dunn Meadow and took off into the sky. Well, almost. Former IU-Bloomington Chancellor Ken Gros Louis said it was the first airplane flight in Monroe County. “It crashed into an apple tree,” Gros Louis said.
A MUSIC FESTIVAL Small concerts and music festivals are common in Dunn Meadow. In 1998, a concrete stage was built to better facilitate musical performances and speakers, replacing the old wooden one that had to be repaired or rebuilt every year. In October 2009 Victoria’s Secret erected a massive steel stage in Dunn Meadow as part of the lingerie company’s BTown Bash — a festivalstyle celebration that IU won through an online contest. The concert featured performances by artists Girl Talk and Cobra Starship and raised $5,000 for Middle Way House. The wet, fall weather did little to curb the turnout — which turned Dunn Meadow into a muddy, grassless mess. Victoria’s Secret picked up the tab for its repairs.
A SOAPBOX On Sept. 13, 2000, about 6,000 people crowded into the meadow, its surrounding sidewalks and roofs of nearby buildings to hear Bob Knight’s farewell address. The men’s basketball coach was fired earlier that week after he grabbed and shouted at then-freshman Kent Harvey. During his speech, Knight took a few subtle jabs at the administration, but mostly thanked his supporters and urged students to leave Harvey alone. “Let that kid be a student,” he said. “Let that kid get on with his life. This thing — believe me — it happened a long time before that situation took place. Believe me.” A TENT CITY Since the 1980s, Dunn Meadow has been home to numerous tent cities, peace camps and shanty towns.
Sometimes lasting weeks or even months, these encampments were created by students and local demonstrators responding to world issues. In 1986, a shanty town was assembled to send a message to University officials about segregation in South Africa. At the time, students believed IU was investing in companies that supported the apartheid. Another shanty town was organized in 1988, this time as an anti-rape center. When America became involved in the Persian Gulf War in the early 1990s, a tent city was erected that lasted two months. A year later, 10 campers rebuilt the city for a one night remembrance of the two-month protest. The bombing of Afghanistan and rising concern about the treatment of Muslims in Oct. 2001 led to the erection of another camp. There hasn’t been a peace camp in Dunn Meadow since.

Elvis might have stayed in that building 50-year-old Poplars one of many campus structures repurposed throughout decades BY LILLY JUDGE lgjudge@indiana.edu
On the west side of campus, overshadowed by a large parking garage, stands an unassuming gray building with an odd, geometrical awning. The Poplars building, a nondescript edifice on the corner of Dunn and Seventh streets, has been an object of local lore, provoking controversy since its beginnings in the 1960s. Because it required the razing of several historic homes, initial construction of the building was very unpopular with neighborhood residents. Originally named the Poplars Midtown Motor Hotel, the building’s first incarnation included a swimming pool and sauna. Local legend rumors that it housed both Elvis Presley and Patty Smith when they visited IU. However several years of lackluster business and consistent losses catalyzed the conversion of the hotel into a sorority house and later, a dormitory. Today, the pool has been drained and the space renovated as Poplars has been converted into office space for a myriad of Indiana University administration departments. Throughout IU’s history, buildings like Poplars have housed many different departments and have served many different functions. Swain Hall, located in the southwest corner of campus, was originally built as a biology building but has since become
IU ARCHIVES
the center of the astronomy and physics departments. Rawles Hall, which currently houses the math department, even has the words “Social Sciences” chiseled into the face of its limestone structure. Early function changes predominantly occurred due to fires but as time wore on many buildings in the historic core of campus were readapted for practical purposes as well. This strategy of adaptive reuse, or the adaptation of buildings to address the evolving needs of the University, has
become an embedded IU tradition that persists to this day. It encapsulates the vision of illustrious former president of IU Herman B Wells, who worked hard during his tenure as president to assure that IU did not sacrifice the trees and open green spaces that lent it its woodland character in order to serve an expanding student population. Today, current administrations continue to honor IU’s natural beauty by efficiently utilizing all available buildings. The 2010 IU master plan cre-
ated by IU Presdient Michael McRobbie’s administration includes a proposed renovation of Ballantine Hall, a large building that currently houses numerous classrooms and offices. The plan is seeking to reconfigure the building to increase lab space for the science departments, which are currently at capacity. Additionally the plan suggests considering adaptive reuse of the Bryan House, which traditionally has been the home of the president of IU but is currently vacant. Inevitably, new buildings outside the historic core of IU will continue to be built as the University expands; the new School of Global and International Studies currently under construction in what used to be a parking lot is one example. However, through adaptive reuse IU has been able to honor the natural beauty that attracts students from all over the country. To this day IU continues to assure Wells’ wish in his speech for the graduating class of 1962: “I hope that our alumni will always insist on retention of our precious islands of green and serenity — our most important physical asset, transcending even classrooms, libraries, and laboratories in their ability to inspire students to dream long dreams of future usefulness and achievement — dreams that are an important and essential part of undergraduate college experience.”

Legacy of Herman B Wells One man’s effect on IU still prevalent across community BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu
IDS FILE PHOTO

IU ARCHIVES
Then University President Herman B Wells wears his graduation gown June 10, 1957. Wells signed every diploma issued during his Presidency, about 62,621 diplomas.
Before Herman B Wells took charge of IU, the University was just a small Midwestern college with 11,000 students. By the time he died in 2000, it had become a world-renowned institution with more than 90,000 students on eight campuses. “He put Indiana University on the map,” said James Capshew, associate professor of history and philosophy of science and author of a Wells biography. “Not just in the Big Ten, but nationally and internationally.” Wells served as the 11th president of IU from 1938 to 1962 and as University chancellor from 1962 until he passed away in 2000. He came here as a student in 1921 and fell in love with the campus, Capshew said. “When he became president, he was determined to offer students a similar experience to what he had,” Capshew said. Wells is known for making some of the most substantial changes to the University that helped make it what it is today. “He created, I think, a very extraordinary culture in Bloomington,” said University Chancellor Emeritus Ken Gros Louis, who knew Wells. “The most recently hired custodian was as important to him as the most distinguished professor.” There are many stories about Wells’ successful desegregation efforts in Bloomington and on campus. “He didn’t rustle feathers,” Capshew said. “He found a way to remove barriers.” During the early part of his presidency, a restaurant originally located on Indiana Avenue, the Gables, did not serve black students. Wells called the owner of the restaurant and asked him to serve blacks. The owner refused.
“Wells said, ‘I understand, but I hope you will understand if I make the Gables off-limits to all students,’” Gros Louis said. “The owner started serving black students.” Wells was also the driving force behind IU recruiting the first black basketball player in the Big Ten. He stood up against powerful figures in defense of Alfred Kinsey, whose research into human sexuality drew criticism. As president and chancellor, Wells kept in mind the future growth of the University and realized because the institution would far outlive him, he should provide for its future. The first building Wells constructed as president was the IU Auditorium. “He said he built it because he wanted to tell students, especially students from rural Indiana, that the world was available to them,” Gros Louis said. Wells genuinely cared about the University’s students, Capshew said. Wells developed a reputation for remembering people’s names, even if they had only met once, and he frequently took strolls around campus to meet students. In his old age, his assistants helped him. “He really led through that empathy, that fellow feeling that he had for students and faculty,” Capshew said. Today, Wells is remembered on campus. The main library is named in his honor, and a bronze statue of him sits on a bench in the Old Crescent looking over Dunn’s Woods, an area he banned the University from developing. “He’s the one that made what I think is a very special culture,” Gros Louis said. “The time will come when nobody living will remember him, but he’ll still be remembered because of what he did for this University.”

Science of cinema
PHOTO COURTESY OF IU CINEMA
IU Cinema uses new technology to screen variety of films, old and new BY HANNAH FLEACE hfleace@indiana.edu
It’s about the experience, the art and the honor. For the team behind the plush seats and red curtains, it’s about the science of presentation. Brazilian director Walter Salles said the IU Cinema rivals the best cinemas in the world. For Director Jon Vickers world class is the standard. “When the University decided to build the cinema, a goal was to make it one of the best cinemas in the country,” Vickers said. After the equipment was installed, Vickers said the cinema became THX certified. For a cinema to be THX certified its equipment and presentation must meet standards to provide consistency to the movie-viewing experience. Vickers said the equipment at the cinema is becoming rare in the industry. “Over 35,000 theaters converted to digital cinema in 2013,” Vickers said. “When conversion takes place theaters abandoned film projection equipment.” This means most movie
theaters cannot screen traditional films, which are on film stock or film print. “This is important because there are tens of thousands of films that are no longer available,” Vickers said. “The IU Cinema has more access.” The cinema is equipped for film in its traditional and modern forms. It can play celluloid film prints and tradition film reels, of 16 millimeters and 35 millimeters. Vickers said the presentation of a film requires a lot of preparation, done by the cinema’s very own scientists. Manny Knowles, assistant director of cinema systems and operations, and his team of graduate students prepare all the film before it is ever screened. Traditionally, film comes to the cinema in cans usually five to eight reels long. Knowles and his students lay the film on an inspection table and examine it by hand one inch at a time. Vickers said that last year the cinema inspected more than one million feet of film. Perhaps the most strenuous part of the process is during the movie presentation. “In the booth we run
reel-to-reel change over projection,” Vickers said. “We turn the film through two different projectors that hold six reels each.” One film reel is on the first projector and the next reel is on the second projector. The students manning the projector must look for signals to change the reels. “This is often called the last stage of film making,” Vickers said. “Because it can ruin the presentation.” Vickers said usually graduate student interns are in charge of this part of the presentation, but only after plenty of training. “We hire about two grad students each year,” Vickers said. “They begin in August and train with Manny for about a month and a half.” The intern program is just one of the few ways the cinema interacts with University students. The cinema also shows student work from the Department of Telecommunications, the School of Journalism, the Department of Communications and Culture and the School of Fine Arts. The cinema plays host to other projects with students including a collaborative film with film students and

composers in which a student production is presented with a live orchestra score. Vickers said the students and community are an important part of the cinema’s mission. “Our program is trying to accomplish things,” Vickers said. “We want to be Bloomington’s art house cinema.” The cinema screens international films, documentaries and indie films with this goal in mind. “We want that film festival feeling,” he said. “An ongoing film festival that draws in film maker interaction.” Vickers said he tries to bring film makers to the cinema to honor their work and provide the opportunity for interaction with Bloomington. “We hope to develop a unique and interesting program that is different from that of any other in the country,” Vickers said. “I think we are accomplishing that.”

With his left hand perched atop his piano and his right hand playing the keyboard, the Hoagy Carmichael Landmark Sculpture rests in a comfortable spot next to the IU Cinema. Passersby often see a flower in the bronze statue’s hand. The flower is not a part of the sculpture. Rather, a real one is placed through the statue’s slightly open hand and on its fedora. “Generally, it’s IU patrons that walk along and pick one off, like our mums or our petunias, and puts it there,” Mike Girvin, campus division manager of the IU Physical Plant, said.
Girvin said his first year at IU was the same year the sculpture found a permanent home in Bloomington. Still, Girvin said his department had no role in the placement of the flowers and maintains he has never personally placed a flower on the statue. The flowers and the people who place them on the sculpture often change. “I’ve seen every different flower that we’ve grown in his hands at one time,” Girvin said. During his time at IU, Carmichael led IU’s band, appropriately named Carmichael’s Collegians, and went on to become an acclaimed jazz composer.

Storm and his wife are also original co-owners of Mother Bear’s Pizza and Bears Place, an ale house near Mother Bear’s. He said the city nicknamed the street “Restaurant Row” after it became a magnet for restaurants. “I say this very modestly, but there’s a certain amount of pride when I see (Fourth Street),” Storm said. Storm said some of his friends jokingly refer to him as “the mayor of Fourth Street.” “We changed the whole character of Fourth Street,” he said. Follow reporter Lyndsay Jones on Twitter @lyndsayjonesy.
SIAM HOUSE
TASTE OF INDIA
During the early 1980s, Fourth Street was merely a collection of run-of-the-mill residences.. Today, many of the houses on Fourth Street are renovated and successful ethnic restaurants, serving Indian, Tibetan, Italian, Turkish and Thai food, among others. Jan Rosenburg was an IU student during the 1970s when Fourth Street was still residential. She said she left in 1981, but returned in 2009 to a very different Fourth Street. Rosenburg said she thought the change was remarkable. “I was really kind of blown away,” Rosenburg said. “Bloomington’s personality had changed.” The metamorphosis of Fourth Street belongs to two people — those who pioneered the successful restaurants and the man who paved the way,
realtor Bruce Storm. Storm was originally a Mooresville, Ind., resident, but moved to Bloomington after his service in the Navy ended to be closer to his family, he said. Storm said he bought his first house during the 1970s. There were no building codes in those days, and all of the houses needed renovation. Storm said he restored every house he bought. “We had a vision,” he said. It was a trend that he would continue for more than 30 years. He built the glass entrance for Puccini’s La Dolce Vita, tore down enclosed porches and painted the houses with new colors. If only indirectly, he was responsible for the existence of Taste of India, Siam House, Puccini’s and My Thai Cafe, and this is just a taste of the international flavors found on Fourth Street. Storm said his wife’s help was invaluable. “Shannon has been my copilot through all of this,” he said.

IDS FILE PHOTO Lilly Library Head of Conservation Jim Canary shows a 15th century book he will repair.
Preserving Lilly Library’s treasures BY MICHELA TINDERA mtindera@indiana.edu
On the sixth floor, in a room that is precisely 68 degrees Fahrenheit with 47 percent humidity, Jim Canary is bent over a book of hours — a type of prayer book — hand-written and illustrated in the 15th century, cleaning two 600-year-old pieces of leather. As head of conservation at the Lilly Library, Canary has worked for 26 years fighting the decay of the 450,000 books and 7.5 million manuscripts stored at the library. Here are just some of the techniques and tactics the Lilly Library takes to restore these books. LIGHT The UV component of light can cause books’ fibers to become brittle
or their dyes and inks to fade over time. Five “foot-candles” is the ideal amount of lighting the Lilly uses for documents in iron fall ink or handcolored illustrations, which are especially susceptible to fading. A foot-candle is a unit of measurement equal to the light produced by one candle from one foot away. RE-BINDING Japanese tissue is a thin paper that is dyed using acrylics or watercolors and pasted on the outer and inner binding depending on what’s necessary. It can be used on leather, cloth, paper or vellum. STORAGE Any books that seem loose or fragile are kept in a handmade box or “clam shell.” Anything less than halfan-inch thick is kept in an envelope.
PAGES To clean stains, a book can be de-acidified, or alkalized, by applying an alkaline solution to a dry page or submerging it in an alkaline solution bath. WHEN IN USE Books must be kept in the designated Reading Room. Inside, they are placed atop cushions that support each tome’s spine and binding. Instead of having patrons hold down a page with their hands, strings with weights on them are used. Preservation and access are key values in the library’s functionality. “We still are a functioning library,” Canary said. “Books are meant to be used.”

AN AMERICAN TREASURE
Thomas Hart Benton murals BY KATIE HOGUE kkhogue@indiana.edu
Visitors walking into the Hall of Murals in the IU Auditorium are surrounded by massive paintings depicting the history of Indiana, in both its light and dark moments. These murals, along with the murals in Woodburn Hall 100 and the IU Cinema, were painted by Thomas Hart Benton for the state of Indiana’s exhibit in the World’s Fair in 1893. The murals were brought to
IU by Herman B Wells in 1939. Benton painted his murals in a way he felt spoke to the average American, according to a booklet on the murals by the IU Art Museum. “He had an interest in doing American art in a style he felt would be understood by the American public,” Nan Brewer, Lucienne M. Glaubinger curator of works on paper, said. Benton was a regionalist painter intent on rediscovering archaic materials, Brewer said. She explained this is why he used
egg tempera in his paint. “They had dozens of fresh eggs every day that came in,” Brewer said. “The egg tempera is made from mixing the egg yolks into the paint.” Benton’s painting depicts lively and brightly colored figures in motion. The murals are overwhelmingly noticeable because they are 12 feet tall. “I would describe them as, well, large,” junior Braden Cleary said. Brewer described the murals as a narrative story that flows

Thomas Hart Benton’s murals are still controversial decades after their creation. One mural in Woodburn Hall (above) shows members of the Ku Klux Klan. Many people have expressed concern that these are displayed in an academic setting, but the message is made clear when viewed in context. Flanking the painted clansmen are a group of journalists who reported on a scandal that led to the Klan’s demise in Indiana.
through time in an unbroken progression. “I have spent a lot of my career studying these,” Brewer said. “What really attracts me is the complexity of the narrative and the formal organization of the works.” Benton intended his murals to follow the progression of the history of Indiana culturally and industrially, Brewer said. At the World’s Fair, when someone walked into the exhibit, the cultural history would be on one side of the room matched up with the industrial history on the other side. Two other murals once existed at the very end of the hall by the door. Unfortunately, these two panels have been lost to history, Brewer said. She said she
only knows what they look like in black and white from a booklet passed out at the fair. The majority of the panels are now located inside the IU Auditorium, but they are out of order because they were too large to all fit inside, Brewer said. Cleary said he likes seeing the murals in the auditorium and thinks they are important historically. “I know they were installed during the depression when the building was built, which was a feat because money wasn’t being spent on the arts then,” Cleary said. Panels in the auditorium depict the native inhabitants of Indiana, the pioneers, farmers and industrial expansion, among other themes. The murals that went
to the IU Cinema depict leisure activities. The panels that have received the most attention recently hang in Woodburn 100. These panels were placed there because they were thought to have business themes, and at the time of their installation, Woodburn was a business building, Brewer said. In the past few years, there have been some students who have spoken out against the mural in Woodburn 100, titled “Parks, the Circus, the Klan, the Press,” because they said they feel uncomfortable since the mural depicts the Ku Klux Klan, Brewer said. However, she said she believes these students are led to feel this way because they see the mural out of context with the
larger history. “Benton said, ‘I can’t talk about Indiana in the ’20s without talking about this subject,’” Brewer said. “It was big political news, and he understood the potency of the Klan and wanted to make a statement for tolerance and against bigotry.” Brewer said the museum is trying to help the audience understand the KKK mural better by placing plaques outside of the entrance to Woodburn 100 explaining the importance of all the murals. “They are one of the most important mural projects in America in the 1930s,” Brewer said. “They are a treasure for IU, Indiana and also an American treasure.”

More than a pastime IU Baseball Ba riding high expectations after its best-ever season
Spring/Summer 2014 BY JOE POPELY jpopely@indiana.edu
The IU baseball team’s storybook 2013 season was quite the tale. After decades in obscurity, the Hoosiers were finally Omaha-bound. IU clinched its first appearance in the College World Series with an 11-6 win over Florida State on June 9, 2013 at Dick Howser Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla. It was a season of “firsts” for the Hoosiers, but this first — a spot on college baseball’s biggest stage — was perhaps the most important. IU swept the mighty Seminoles, a perennial power from the ACC, in two games. The Hoosiers had made it a point not to stage onfield team celebrations after several monumental wins — the Big Ten regular season and tournament titles, and the Bloomington regional — having
Campus Visitor’s Guide • 23 repeatedly said those accomplishments were just steps along the way to the ultimate goal. When Tim O’Conner caught DJ Stewart’s fly ball to left field for the final out, they finally enjoyed a welldeserved dogpile. “I join the entire University community in congratulating the IU baseball team for continuing its historic season with its first-ever trip to the College World Series,” IU President Michael McRobbie said in a press release. The Hoosiers (48-14) were unfazed going up against one of college baseball’s Goliaths in its home ballpark. Florida State has been nothing short of dominant since the current super regional format began in 1999. The Seminoles’ six straight super regional appearances is the longest active streak in the nation. They have appeared in the
College World Series 21 times. IU was the first Big Ten team to reach the College World Series since Michigan did so in 1984. IU Coach Tracy Smith, the 2013 Big Ten Coach of the Year, inherited a lastplace team when he took over in 2006. He labored through a 19-44 Big Ten record and 41-69 overall record his first two seasons, with IU finishing dead last both years. The Hoosiers played .571 ball (201-151) before going to the College World Series, and 87-64 (.576) in Big Ten play during that span. “It is fitting that the baseball team’s season for the ages would coincide with the opening of our superb new facility, Bart Kaufman Field,” McRobbie said, “and we are all immensely proud of the team’s accomplishments this year and the positive attention it has brought to the University.”

“WORLD’S GREATEST COLLEGE WEEKEND” Little 500 race full of tradition, history and excitement for riders and fans
BY STEPHANIE KUZYDYM skuzydym@indiana.edu
To IU students, it’s not just a bike race. It’s the Little 500. Each spring, hundreds of students turn into athletes in the largest collegiate cycling race in the country and the biggest intramural event at IU. Modeled after the motor race that takes place 56 miles away at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Little 500 sends fourperson teams around a quartermile track in separate races for men and women. Howdy Wilcox, former executive director of the IU Student Foundation, founded the Little 500 race in 1951, 32 years after his father won the Indianapolis 500. The race was featured in the 1979 movie “Breaking Away,”
which tells the tale of an underdog team of locals who win the race. The team acquires the nickname the “Cutters” after the phrase was used as an insult to stone cutters who worked in Bloomington limestone quarries. It’s also an experience former Cutters rider Eric Young will never forget. Young, a four-year rider for the historic team, crossed the finish line first during each of his years riding in the Little 500 — a feat no other rider had achieved before. He had never heard of the Little 500 before coming to IU, but four championships and one contract later, Young became a professional cyclist. “I did not think I would be earning money to race until my senior year,” Young said. “I
learned a lot from Little Five ... a lot about teamwork and perseverance. It definitely defined my college experience.” Coordinated by the IU Student Foundation, the Little 500 helps to raise money for working student scholarships. The race has raised more than $1.5 million in scholarships since its inception. And though it is an intramural event, former student and Wing IT Cycling rider Abigail Legg said most teams don’t treat it like one. “We train about six days a week,” Legg said. “We change our diets around Little Five. We change our class schedules around Little Five. “You’re part of something bigger than yourself and much bigger than just a bike race in April.”

Ann Knox, Bobbie Florea, Ginger Levandis and Michele Borror show Mini 500 victory smiles. BY ROBBY HOWARD robhoward@indiana.edu
Thirty-eight years ago, the crowd inside Assembly Hall roared for the girls in green. The women raced up and down the court. They flew off their seats. They tried to defy gravity, turning corners as sharply as humanly possible. They rejoiced. They were champions. Thirty-eight years ago, the women of Delta Delta Delta won the Mini 500, a tricycle race that took place in Assembly Hall the day before the men’s Little 500 race. Michele Borror Long, Bobbie Florea Alspaugh and Ann Knox were three members of this winning 1976 team. Women didn’t have a bicycle race until 1988. Instead, they had a trike race inside Assembly Hall. “It was more of a fun thing,” Knox said. “We took it seriously, but it was all about having a good time and the competition.” The team said the bike race wouldn’t have been interesting anyway. The members liked doing the trike race. They liked being in Assembly Hall. “I had no desire to go out and ride on a cinder track, personally,” Long said.
All of the women said they never felt slighted by riding tricycles, because it was still a competitive event. “We had a lot of fun,” Knox said. “I remember laughing a lot and just having a good time. It wasn’t like, ‘Why can’t we get to race on the bikes with the guys?’” The race consisted of two laps across the long track. At about half court sat a start-finish line where the four racers would perform a required exchange. Each rider pedaled for half of a lap. The team practiced as soon as spring break ended for the late April race. Despite it being a recreational event, training still played a large role for the event. “The key was the exchanges,” Knox said. “The track for the tricycles races was really just turning, doing a half loop. You had to go fast enough to get enough speed up to have a smooth exchange. It’s almost like a relay at a track meet. That’s what we worked on.” They practiced outside Ballantine hall and in parking lots where they drew lines to simulate the lanes. A week before the ’76 race, Knox said she sprained her ankle jumping off of a ledge. The team almost went into a panic. “All the practice, all the timing,
it was kind of like, ‘What are we going to do?’” But by the time the lights went on inside Assembly Hall, Knox was good to go. The team said the entire lower bowl of the stadium was full of people cheering them on. “It’s just such a frenzy,” Long said. “You’re in Assembly Hall, and there’s 11 others out there on the floor and at the same time. And you think, ‘They play basketball down here!’ It’s kind of, you’re the center of attention. It was different than being out in Ballantine.” For winning the race, each team member received a 12-inch black-and-white TV and a dozen roses. Knox said during the trophy presentation she couldn’t hear anything. The members of the team said they only have been back to a handful of Little 500 races, and weren’t aware the women didn’t have a trike race anymore. For them, it’s just not the same. But looking back on 1976, the year that IU also went undefeated in basketball and won the NCAA Championship, they said the year was one of their favorite collegiate memories. “Especially winning,” Long said.

Mother Bear’s Pizza Mother Bear’s pizza has been synonymous with awards. It has won the best Pizza in Bloomington eight times, Best Local Restaurant in Bloomington twice, 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. 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.” 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.” 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 that is unique for its Gold sh cracker topping instead of croutons. The restaurant is always busy and packed with patrons, but you are guaranteed that your long wait will be rewarded.
