Welcome to the Bloomington community and Indiana University!
I
President Michael McRobbie
I extend warm greetings on behalf of the more than 40,000 students, 5,000 full-time faculty members and the thousands of staff of IU-Bloomington. In his book, “The Campus as a Work of Art,” Thomas Gaines listed IU-Bloomington as one of the five most beautiful campuses in the nation. “Indiana University is exciting,” Gaines wrote. “You never know what is coming up next.” In this campus visitors guide, produced by our awardwinning student newspaper, the Indiana Daily Student, you’ll discover 20 people, places and features that make
IU-Bloomington an exciting place. Exploring the campus is the ideal way to experience this excitement and to discover the many other extraordinary features that contribute to the distinct character of the campus. You might choose to begin your explorations in the Old Crescent, the oldest part of our campus. The Old Crescent is home to historic buildings that feature local Indiana limestone and also to Dunn’s Woods, a 9-acre wooded area that has been at the heart of our campus for more than 100 years. Nearby, you will find the Indiana Memorial Union, one of the largest student union buildings in the world. You will also want to visit Legacy Court in Cook Hall, where you can see IU’s five basketball national championship trophies and learn more about IU’s storied basketball history through interactive displays. The Bloomington campus of Indiana University is also noted
for excellence in the arts. The Jacobs School of Music, one of the world’s finest schools of music, hosts thousands of performances by faculty and students each year. Among the school’s faculty are multiple Grammy-winning musicians. Our IU Auditorium hosts performances by the world’s top performers and lectures by leading thinkers from around the globe. The Auditorium is also home to one of the masterpieces of 20th-century art: the Indiana murals of Thomas Hart Benton. Our Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center, home to a program that was recently ranked among the 10 best in the nation by the Princeton Review, presents engaging theatrical performances. The IU Art Museum, designed by I.M. Pei, a master of modern architecture, is home to treasures from around the world, including pieces by Picasso, Monet, Degas, Pollock and countless other artists.
The Lilly Library, IU’s rare books library, is home to treasures that include Shakespeare’s First Folio and George Washington’s letter accepting the presidency of the United States. The IU Cinema recently completed a very successful first year of operation. In its first year, 231 film titles and short programs were presented to public audiences. The Cinema is, without question, one of the finest university cinemas in the nation, and it has very quickly become one of the jewels of the Bloomington campus. Wherever you look on the Bloomington campus, there are other jewels waiting to be discovered. All of them combine to make IU an exciting place. We are delighted that you are here to share in the excitement. Sincerely, Michael A. McRobbie President Indiana University

WHAT?
No one knows what ‘Hoosier’ means BY LISA TOMCKO lmtomcko@indiana.edu
Merriam Webster dictionary defines “Hoosier” as a native or resident of Indiana. But what does it really mean? Steve Haller, senior director of the Indiana Historical Society’s collections and library, wrote the article “The
Meanings of Hoosier — 175 Years and Counting,” which examines the word’s origin and usage. He cautions those searching for a cut-and-dry background. “When you boil it all down, you will not find a decisive meaning or origin,” Haller said. Although the etymology of Hoosier is unknown, several

theories live on. One of the more likely explanations comes from former IHS Secretary Jacob Piatt Dunn. After extensive research, Dunn concluded the word “Hoosier” likely derives from the word “hoozer,” which in the Cumberland dialect of England meant anything large, such as a hill. When Cumberland immigrants came to North America, their descendants applied the word to those who settled in the hills of southern Indiana. Haller said Dunn’s theory has stood the test of time but isn’t well-known. “There’s a lot of folklore not supported by historical fact,” he said. Senior Gretchen Krumwiede said she’s heard multiple stories about the word’s origin. “I think the one I heard most often was that at a basketball game, someone’s ear fell off, and they held it up and said ‘Whose ear?’” Krumwiede said. Former Indiana Governor Joseph Wright had another theory. He said “Hoosier” came from a Native American word for corn — “hoosa.” The theory is doubtful, though, as no such word has been found in any Native American languages. In any case, Haller said the word’s linguistic origin is not as important as its 1800s usage. During that time, Indiana was the Western frontier, and Haller said “Hoosier” carried
mainly positive connotations. It was a way for Indiana residents to refer to themselves and for others to refer to them. By the 1840s, Indiana government officials were calling their state the Hoosier state. IU’s adoption of the Hoosier nickname for its athletic teams has given the word further meaning for those at IU. “From an athletic standpoint, it’s not a tangible thing,” IU Deputy Athletics Director Scott Dolson said. “It’s more of a feel and a way that you believe. It’s the way you carry yourself, the way you treat people, the way you show support for your school.” Junior Ryan Diefenderfer said he agreed. “Bloomington in general is a great cultural place, so that ties in with the school spirit and what being a Hoosier is for me, at least,” he said. Krumwiede said being a Hoosier is about taking pride in one’s self and school. “People are always really proud to say that they’re a Hoosier, that they’re from IU,” she said. Dolson said the pride extends throughout the whole University. “In general, whether you’re in IU athletics or the Kelley School of Business or what have you, everyone takes pride in the fact that they’re part of the Hoosier nation and they’re Hoosiers,” Dolson said. spring / summer 2012 / 3

The biggest little race For fans, riders and IU community, Little 5 weekends are always unforgettable BY STEPHANIE KUZYDYM skuzydym@indiana.edu
To the students of IU, 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 when they ride in the Little 500. Modeled after the motor race that takes place 56 miles away at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Little 500 sends four-person teams in separate races for men and women around a quarter-mile track. Howdy Wilcox, then-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 has since been featured in the 1979 movie 4 / spring / summer 2012
“Breaking Away,” which tells the tale of an underdog team of locals who work to win the race. The team acquires the nickname “Cutters” after the phrase used as an insult to stone cutters who worked at Bloomington limestone quarries. As the traditions of kissing the sidewalk and drinking cold milk accompany the Indy 500, the Little 500 is full of the traditions of mounting Schwinns and crashing on turn three. But it’s also an experience, one that former Cutters rider Eric Young will never forget. Young, a four-year rider for the historic Bloomington team, crossed the finish line first each of his four years riding in the Little 500. It’s a feat no other rider had done before. The Cutters rider had always planned to go to graduate school for neuroscience

following his time in Bloomington. He had never heard of the Little 500 before his first year at IU, but four championships and one contract later, Young became a professional cyclist for Bissell cycling.
“I did not think I would be earning money to race until my senior year,” Young said. “I learned a lot from Little 5, a lot about teamwork and perseverance. It definitely defined my college experience.” source / campus visitors guide

From past presidents to Greek mythology, these are the public masterpieces you shouldn’t miss
BY DANIELLE RINDLER | danrindl@indiana.edu
M
ost of the iconic pieces of art on campus today are relatively new, and many actually caused a bit of controversy upon their installation. At the 1961 dedication of Showalter Fountain, President Herman B Wells said, “IU has long been outstanding in the sciences and in the professions. Yet it remembers its ancient foundation upon the classics ... we proudly reaffirm our belief in the importance of the arts and the life of the spirit.” Today, as students watch the lights dance on the side of the IU Art Museum, take a dip in the Showalter Fountain or snap a picture with Wells’ statue, the art seems like a natural part of the landscape. Sherry Rouse, the curator of campus art for all of IU’s campuses, said she is in charge of a database that contains about 30,000 pieces of art, all of them important to the IU environment. “I think, in fact, all the artwork that students come to live and work around ... helps their IDS FILE PHOTOS educational process,” she said. “It becomes the curator for the “Showalter back to the U.S. on a boat. part of their lives. Almost every student, every Fountain: The Venus of Indiana In doing this, Laurent was graduate that I’ve ever talked to has a favor- University.” “Ballantine was influenced by famous Italian of the first buildings where artists, such as Botticelli, and ite piece. ... It not only beautifies the world one the humanities were going on utilized an Italian bronze-castaround us but is also meaningful.” ... there were a lot of things ing technique in the creation of ‘THE BIRTH OF VENUS’
According to the IU archives, in 1939, IU’s primary architects, Eggers and Higgins, proposed a fine arts plaza that would bring together the four art forms of music, sculpture, painting and drama. Herman B Wells, who was president at the time, and Ward Biddle, the first director of the Indiana Memorial Union, 6 / spring / summer 2012
advocated for a fountain in the middle of the plaza that would represent the role of the arts and humanities on campus. The first plan for the fountain included four seated figures made out of limestone. “They were trying to unify that area ‘cause it really was where the arts and humanities kind of originated,” said graduate student Bethany Fiechter,
they wanted to connect.” In the 1950s, fine arts professor Robert Laurent went on sabbatical leave two different times to Rome to build the “Birth of Venus.” The first time, he constructed a miniature version of the piece that went on display at the IU Art Museum. Laurent returned to Rome to create Venus and the five dolphins and shipped them
the piece. Additionally, by making “The Birth of Venus” in Rome, Laurent was able to do so for a fraction of what it would have cost in the U.S., Fiechter said. Despite its origins in Greek mythology, Laurent’s piece was too provocative for many. “People thought that having a big, naked woman in the middle of campus was pretty risky in the ‘50s when they put source / campus visitors guide
it up,” Rouse said. LIGHT TOTEM
Built as a temporary fixture to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the IU Art Museum, a renowned structure by architect I.M. Pei, the Light Totem paints with light, using the museum’s wall as a canvas. “It’s fun having a palate that’s the size of a building,” said Robert Shakespeare, a professor of lighting design in the Department of Theatre and Drama, who designed the piece. Even though it’s only 3 years old, the Totem has quickly become a campus fixture. “What bemuses me is when I walk down that section of campus at night ... there’s typically a small gathering of students ... It seems to be a place where if somebody’s walking by, they’ll pause for a minute or two. Like a campfire,” Shakespeare said. The Light Totem was only planned to be in place for a few months. A few months grew into a full year and then, as it won charm, it stayed even longer. Rouse said when the piece was first erected, there were some people who questioned the environmental impact of a giant pole of light. However, it uses LED light sources, so the entire system uses no more energy than the street light that stood in the light sculpture’s place prior to 2007, Shakespeare said. Shakespeare, who also programs the lighting sequences for the piece, said the programs are based on source / campus visitors guide
two- to three-minute segments, each of which are in a particular sequence to tell a particular story. Shakespeare said he thinks the mesmerizing jewel tones of the piece make the campus beautiful, even at night. A few days before the grand opening, Shakespeare said a man came by with a little girl as he was testing the piece out. “She just stood there staring at it, and all her comment was: ‘It’s magic, Daddy, it’s magic,’” Shakespeare said. “I think people enjoy a little sparkle in their lives.”
HERMAN B WELLS MEMORIAL STATUE
The origins of many of IU’s works of art can be traced to a single person: Herman B Wells. Thus, it seems fitting that Wells himself has become immortalized on campus in statue form. “There was a group of people ... and they wanted a Dr. Wells presence on campus that was friendly and approachable,” Rouse said. “They wanted him to be seen because of his greatness. It’s
interesting today how much people touch him and sit with him and talk to him. “I can’t tell you how much interaction there is with that sculpture. It keeps me busy keeping his finger re-patinated.” What could be more lighthearted than a statue of the beloved Wells? Just look under the brim of his hat. The artist, Tuck Langland, did his undergraduate work at the University of Minnesota, so when he created the statue, he included a hidden message. On underside of the brim of Wells’ hat is the inscription “IU vs Minnesota Oct 12 2000. Go Gophers.” Rouse said the University didn’t know about the inscription beforehand but that it just adds another dimension of lightheartedness to the jovial statue. “I questioned his wife about it, and she said, ‘Yes, Tuck thought Dr. Wells would get a kick out of it,’” Rouse said.
‘PEAU ROUGE INDIANA’ INDIANA ARC
Built to honor former IU President Tom Ehrlich and his wife, Ellen, the Indiana Arc uses the basic shape of an equilateral triangle, the same shape upon which architect I.M. Pei based the IU Art Museum, Rouse said. According to his website, the Indiana Arc falls in line with most of Charles O. Perry’s works. He often blends the complexities of math and science with the beauty and grace of art. Although it uses a triangle for its basis, the Indiana Arc is curvilinear and utilizes the artful interplay of solids, voids, edges and planes. Perry’s modern views about art were not always appreciated within the Bloomington community. “Anything that’s as modern as ‘Peau Rouge Indiana’ or the Indiana Arc had many critics,” Rouse said. “And yet, now, they have become quite beloved.”
Don’t let the French name fool you. When translated, the name of this piece becomes “Indiana red skin,” which artist Alexander Calder intended as a jab at the state of Indiana. “He named it that pretty much to poke fun at the (idea of the) Indiana red skin because we don’t have any Native Americans here anymore,” Rouse said. “So we decided, when it got here, to keep it in French so nobody would really know that he was making fun of us.” Although the piece was designed specifically to go in front of the Musical Arts Center, it was actually built thousands of miles away, in Paris. The sculpture was then disassembled, shipped to Bloomington and reassembled in its current location. “Peau Rouge” was the last stabile Calder ever designed. He died in 1976. According to an IU press release from 2008, in the 1980s,
then-IU President John Ryan sent a plane to pick up paint for the sculpture, which was in the process of being restored. The reason? A dinner was scheduled at the MAC before the Oaken Bucket game, and the primer on the statue was too close to Purdue gold for Ryan’s comfort.

IU theater department ranked in Princeton Review’s top ten college programs BY RAVEN CARPENTER ravecarp@indiana.edu
A good theater program is about more than producing good actors and stage producers. “You start with the faculty and the strength that they have and how they train students,” said Jonathan Michaelsen, chairman of the IU Department of Theatre and Drama. According to the recently surveyed crowd of the Princeton Review, IU’s theater program corresponds with these objectives. The department was recently ranked one of the top 10 college programs. For aspiring Neil Patrick Harrises and Idina Menzels on campus, knowing how the IU theater program stacks up to other colleges might be a 8 / spring / summer 2012
wise idea. However, the Princeton Review’s studies rely on student opinion rather than strictly statistical data. They are peer reviews of the topics at hand and do not always reflect the actual quality of a program. John Kinzer, director of audience development, said many of the other colleges in the ranking are smaller schools, causing IU’s honor to be proportionally a good thing. For a large school such as IU, Kinzer said it is an amazing feat to be capable of drawing large amounts of its student body to partake in the viewing and producing of productions. “We try to consistently produce at a very high level,” Kinzer said. “I think if you were to travel around the country and see other theater
productions, you’d notice that.” Kinzer said the production selections are carefully taken into consideration prior to the season. “Play selections are driven by the academic mission and also try to challenge the directors,” Kinzer said. In addition to paying close attention to the plays produced, the program also tries to prepare actors and stage technicians for the real theater world by providing proper training in various areas. “What I like about the Department of Theatre and Drama is the broad-based education and the variety of each year’s productions,” sophomore Rachel Fernandez said. “All theater and drama students are required to take an introductory script analysis, production, lighting,
costuming and acting class. That way, you have a solid foundation in multiple theatrical disciplines.” Drew Bratton, arts administrator of the theatre and drama department, said program directors try to give students a full perspective. “The program is not just focused on the student,” Bratton said. “What we’re trying to do is teach them about the craft in its full variety. The students hone the skills that they want, but they can express it through the entire medium of theater.” Kinzer explained that the program consists of diverse professors who each teach in their own ways to provide different perspectives to the students. “We are not sending performers into the world without proper training,” Kinzer said. source / campus visitors guide

IU’s African-American Arts Institute strives to give students an opportunity to not only earn school credit, but also to obtain a cultural education. The Arts Institute promotes African-American culture and offers three distinct ensembles for students to participate in — IU Soul Revue, African American Dance Company and the African American Choral Ensemble. Dr. Charles Sykes, executive director of the Arts Institute, said it is unique because it the first program to specialize in AfricanAmerican music and also offers
course credit for performance. “You can’t find another one like it, as far as I know,” he said. “It’s the only of its kind.” Sykes said this is appealing to students because they can take part in something that they are interested in, such as music or dance, and the credits count toward graduation. He said the Arts Institute employs a number of both graduate and undergraduate students to work with the ensembles. “Each one of the ensembles has one or more associate instructors that help with musical arrangements,” Sykes said.

in various studies, including music, arts administration, telecommunications and journalism. Sykes said the Arts Institute is a way for an IU student to delve deeper into something he or she is interested in, even just for the joy of performing. “We’re living in a world with the opportunity to interact across racial boundaries,” Sykes said. “For students not planning to be-
come performing artists but want to continue performing in school, they can have this opportunity but don’t have to be concerned with their degree.” While many students go on to finish their degrees in an area unrelated to the performing arts, some Arts Institute alumni have become extremely successful SEE PERFORMANCE, PAGE 24

David Baker Distinguished jazz musician finds a home at Jacobs School of Music BY MAKENZIE HOLLAND | makholla@indiana.edu COURTESY PHOTO
IU jazz legend David Baker received a late birthday present in January from IU President Michael McRobbie — the President’s Medal for Excellence. “David, in recognition of all you have done for this University and for your many contributions to the arts, it is my great pleasure to present you with the highest honor a president can bestow, the President’s Medal for Excellence,” McRobbie said. The crowd roared as McRobbie made his way to Baker, who was sitting in the crowd, and placed the medal around his neck. A stunned Baker raised his arm to the crowd and smiled before bowing and returning to his seat. A number of people braved the frigid air and ice-coated roads to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of IU’s most distinguished professors of music. Baker, a virtuoso performer on multiple instruments and top in his field in several dis10 / spring / summer 2012
ciplines, has taught and performed throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, yet he has chosen to make his home in Bloomington. After 45 years of teaching at the IU Jacobs School of Music, Baker was honored as numerous faculty members and alumni put together a show. The show included guest speakers, video greetings and jazz bands in Jacobs playing Baker’s own compositions. Tom Walsh, one of the main coordinators of the event, as well as an associate professor of saxophone and jazz studies in the Jacobs School of Music, made the introductory speech at Baker’s birthday celebration. “We started celebrating David’s birthday sometime back in November,” Walsh said. “David’s actual birthday wasn’t until December 21, so one day David looked at me and said, ‘Tom, I’m not even 80 yet, and I’m already tired of being 80.’”
The night was filled with laughter as Baker’s colleagues and former students told stories about the time they had spent with Baker. “I’ve had a number of different experiences with David Baker,” said Jamey Aebersold, an internationally known saxophonist, jazz educator and lifelong friend of Baker. “One of the most memorable experiences, though, is when we went on a trip out of the country. We were put into this dormitory, and when we went in to get set up, David came running out of the room, saying, ‘There’s roaches in my room!’ That night, David spent the night in the Hilton while we all slept in the cold with our clothes on and the roaches under our feet.” During the event, the Jacobs School of Music also announced it had established the David N. Baker Jazz Scholarship in recognition of his contributions to the world of jazz. Deputy Mayor Maria Heslin
came to present a speech by Mayor Mark Kruzan, who could not attend the event. “It is such an honor to be here to recognize David Baker,” Hesslin said. “We are truly honored that he has chosen Bloomington to be his home. Whereas David Baker has left innumerable impressions on this city and has changed the lives of so many, I, Mayor Mark Kruzan, do hereby proclaim this day, January 21, as David Baker Day in the city of Bloomington, Ind.” Once again, the crowd rose to their feet in applause. Another gift Baker received was the dedication of a renovated house in the Arts and Entertainment District of Bloomington, formally known as the Baker Place Guest House. Ron and Liz Stanhouse dedicated the house to Baker in honor of the musical inspiration Baker is to their daughters. “David, we just wanted to let you know how much you and your family mean to us,” Ron source / campus visitors guide
Stanhouse said. “We also want to present you with this piece of artwork by Joel Washington, which is the centerpiece of the Baker Place Guest House.” Bloomington artist Joel Washington came out to present Baker with a vivid painting of Baker doing what he loves: playing jazz. The final gifts David received that evening were a bowl from Tiffany’s and a bag of peanut brittle on behalf of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. The night continued with more stories about Baker and musical pieces such as “Screamin Meemies” and “Terrible T,” both written by Baker. At the conclusion of the ceremony, everyone in the crowd rose to their feet and joined the IU Jazz Ensemble in singing “Happy Birthday” to musical inspiration David Baker, who will forever remain, as McRobbie said, a “cool cat and one of the greatest professors to ever teach at IU.”

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 how different groups and cultures have used the meadow from 1960 to the present, each expressing their own wishes and remembrances in a single, historical space.

Remembering an
IU giant With humor and humility, legendary leader Herman B Wells redefined IU BY MICHAEL AUSLEN | mauslen@indiana.edu
IU ARCHIVES
“The time will come when nobody living will remember, but he’ll still be remembered because of what he did for this university.” Ken Gros Louis, former Chancellor
14 / spring / summer 2012
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 IU 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 chancellor from 1962 until he passed away in 2000. He came to the University 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 former Chancellor 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 origi-
nally 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 that because the institution would far outlive him, he should provide for its future. The Board of Trustees criticized Wells when he bought the land upon which Assembly Hall now rests, Gros Louis said. “That’s the kind of vision he had,” Gros Louis said, “And it’s why IU’s campus is so centralized.” The first building Wells constructed as president was the IU Auditorium. “He said he built it because he wanted to tell students, especially students from rural Indiana, that the world was available to them,” Gros Louis said. That same spirit of global education was what led Wells to find instructors who could come SEE WELLS, PAGE 24 source / campus visitors guide

At nearly midnight, freshman Zach Jones walked into his girlfriend’s dorm room and told her to put her shoes on right away. Becca Foote, also a freshman, was already in bed, wearing her pajamas. She looked at him and asked if she could wear her flip-flops. “No, put on real shoes,” Zach said. “We’re trekking through the snow.” Once they were outside Collins Center, Zach knew they needed to hurry, so he started running with Becca close behind. The snow had started to fall about an hour before, and there were fewer than 10 minutes until Valentine’s Day. Becca didn’t know what her boyfriend was planning, but as she saw the gazebo on the edge of Dunn’s Woods, she realized the tradition unfolding. Midnight at the Rose Well House is a more-than-centurylong campus tradition of romance and a single kiss. While the tradition lives on, dating in college has changed.
“People don’t know how to express romance,” said Justin Garcia, a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute who studies topics such as uncommitted sex and hook-up culture in emerging adulthood. For college students, first dates of dinner and a movie are rare, and the media glorifies casual sex, making it look funfilled and without consequences, Garcia said. Nationally, more than twothirds of college students have had at least one sexual hook-up, meaning anything from kissing to sex, yet most walk away with a negative reaction, Garcia said. They walk away, yet the desire for love, one of the strongest in the world, still lingers. Garcia has found in his research that 50 percent of college men and women admit they are looking for a relationship. In June 1998, Brian Boyle, then about to start his senior year, wanted to propose to his girlfriend. She had just graduated and was moving to Atlanta for work while Brian finished school.

From this, he developed the Kinsey Reports, two books about human sexuality, one for males and one for females. “Kinsey was a revolutionary of his time, and we get the

IU offers gender-inclusive housing BY MAKENZIE HOLLAND makholla@indiana.edu
Ethan Jackson is a 19-yearold freshman and a direct admit to the Kelley School of Business. He is from Bluffton, a small town in northern Indiana, where he has lived his whole life. Jackson is also a transgender male, a distinction that the University attempts to honor through its housing assignments. Born female, Jackson decided to transition last summer after a trip to New Zealand, where he lived with relatives. He had not decided anything previously, but the trip to New Zealand helped him make his decision to change. “Through growing up, sometimes gender is complicated, and you just figure things out as you go along, and I decided adamantly that I wanted to do this,” Jackson said. “I decided it in New Zealand, but I really already knew what was going on. I just didn’t know how I wanted to pursue it publicly.” After making the decision to transition, Jackson said he was fairly surprised at the ease with which the University allowed him to change. “What caught my eye first was the gender option when I signed up for housing,” Jackson said. “There was, of course, the male and female option, but then there was a ‘transgender and other’ option as well, which was very interesting to me.” 18 / spring / summer 2012
Sara Ivey Lucas, assistant director for housing assignments for Residential Programs and Services, is responsible for helping students locate places to live. “I make sure that the housing applications students fill out online have all the appropriate options, including what we call ‘self-reported gender,’” Lucas said. “There is a drop-down box where students can clearly say that they are a transgender student.” When students apply to IU,

ferred to be called on campus. The University allowed Jackson to transition without having his name legally changed. RPS recently implemented a new category in the housing application that allows students to enter a nickname they would prefer to go by while on campus, Lucas said. The nickname box functions as a go-between for students so they don’t have to go through the arduous process of legally changing their names. They are allowed to go by their nick-
“When a student lets us know that he or she is transgender, we let them know that someone from housing will contact them to make the process a little easier. We try to figure out where people are at in the transition process so that we can provide them with the proper support.” Sara Ivey Lucas, RPS assistant director for housing assignments
gender is not a factor, but it is required information for housing so RPS can place individuals in locations where they feel comfortable, Lucas said. “When a student lets us know that he or she is transgender, we let them know that someone from housing will contact them to make the process a little easier,” Lucas said. “We try to figure out where people are at in the transition process so that we can provide them with the proper support.” While going through the housing process, Jackson had to give his name for legal purposes and was asked what he pre-
names on campus, but their legal names are not changed on their University IDs. “In order to change my ID card, I would have to legally change my name,” he said. Jackson said he plans to do that in a year or so. Lucas said RPS locations are currently housing five transgender students. “It is impossible to tell the total number of transgendered individuals enrolled at IU because there are obviously students who choose not to find housing through RPS,” Lucas said. Being in a minority group
makes doing different things on campus difficult sometimes, Jackson said. When introducing himself to people, Jackson said he is often asked to repeat his name because his voice does not completely sound masculine yet. “People are often taken aback when I am introduced, because, as queer-friendly as this University is, it is just not something that people run into every day,” Jackson said. At the beginning of the school year, when Jackson was going through the housing process, he did not check the transgender option and was placed on an all-girls floor. “I go by Ethan, and I go by male pronouns, and I am on an all-girls floor, which has been kind of interesting, but everyone has been surprisingly nice about it,” he said. Besides having to worry about fitting in at college and studying, Jackson said the actual transition process pressing down on him. The process takes many years to complete and requires a lot of money, Jackson said. “It is a very medicalized process, which is very annoying, actually,” Jackson said. “I took a gender studies course last semester, and it’s just kind of appalling how the process is. It is a very in-depth process, which takes a lot of time.” If able to receive testosterone, Jackson will be required SEE RPS, PAGE 25 source / campus visitors guide
International studies IU attracts students from around the globe
BY ALEX JIN aojin@indiana.edu
IU has never been more internationally recognized, according to a recent report about more than 1,200 U.S. universities. It is among a number of schools in the United States that have contributed to a continuing growth in international enrollment nationally and abroad. The annual Open Doors study released this month, conducted by the Institute of International Education in coordination with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, has shown an overall growth for the past five years
source / campus visitors guide
in both U.S. students studying abroad and international students enrolled in U.S. universities. In the Open Doors report reflecting the 2010-11 school year, IU ranked eighth in number of students studying abroad and 11th in on-campus international enrollment, which is close to the school’s goal of being in the top 10 for both categories. “These latest rankings confirm IU’s standing as a truly world-class institution of higher education,” IU President Michael McRobbie said in a press release. The growth reflects a commitment from IU to offer students a modern global perspective.
“In particular, we are extremely pleased that more and more IU students are studying abroad, which, over the past two or three decades, has evolved from a luxury to virtually an essential college experience, since nearly every career IU students will pursue will have an international dimension to a greater or lesser extent,” McRobbie said. IU has been working to diversify the international dimensions in Bloomington. International enrollment on campus grew 13.5 percent from fall 2009 to fall 2010, most of which consisted of Chinese students. As for these students’ experiences on campus, administrators seemed optimistic.
“International students report high levels of satisfaction with their IU experience, and they are our best recruiters,” said Christopher Viers, IU associate vice president for international services. “At a time when talented, globally minded students have a vast array of educational options to consider, we are particularly pleased that the exceptional quality and value of an IU education is increasingly recognized and appreciated worldwide.” Junior Stephane Seo, an international student from South Korea who has dual citizenship with the U.S., said the reasons to SEE INTERNATIONAL, PAGE 24

for Ray Charles. Soul Revue Director Nathanael Fareed Mahluli said the group performs a wide range of black popular music. He said the group performs a lot of Motown and music from artists such as Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Natalie Cole and Ella Fitzgerald. Mahluli said it is important for people to realize that being in this type of ensemble takes a lot of time and dedication. “It takes an amazing amount of discipline to keep up your ability to perform,” Mahluli said. “It’s challenging to try social interaction and keep up the teamwork and entertain a goal.”
Senior Terrilyn Dennie, president of IU Soul Revue, said she likes the family connection that comes with being in a close-knit group. “This is what we are the most passionate about,” Dennie said. “You know how there are some days when you just don’t want to go to class? Well, I will never miss this class.” Junior Troy Thomas, vice president of the group, said when he joined the ensemble, he gained confidence in his singing voice. “I never trusted it until I joined this group,” Thomas said. “It’s a professional and emotional experience.

Each week, the market provides entertainment, including art fairs and music. Gift certificates for the farmers’ market can be purchased at the market or at the Department of Parks and Recreation main office inside the City Hall-Showers building. “I knew it was large and local,” Graessle said. “This is fantastic.”
choose IU were clear, though he quickly found there was much more to the American college experience. “I’ve been to several different universities, and Indiana definitely has a certain understanding of international students in general, but they could do better,” Seo said. “They should be more open with the different opportunities on campus. Most international students come here for our business school, but they don’t know how many other great programs and activities there are.” IU continues to find ways to improve its presence in international countries. The Institute of International Education has seen an increasing trend of international students and predicts it will continue to grow in the coming decades. “Every decade, there are one or two countries driving the numbers,” said Peggy Blumenthal, senior counselor to the president of the institute. In the 1990s, Japan and other parts of Asia dominated. However, in the next decade, Vietnam, Turkey, Indonesia and Brazil were among the countries to watch, Blumenthal said. The institute, which has been the leading nonprofit educational and cultural exchange organization in the U.S. since 1919, sponsors the Fulbright and Gilman scholarships and creates programs for study and training among students in all professional and academic sectors.
World War II.” 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.”

The system makes it difficult for transgender individuals to get their letters, Jackson said. “Only some states and doctors perform certain surgeries, and it takes a lot of time,” he said. “Five years from now, nothing else might be changed about me besides my legal name.”
Within a few years, Jackson plans to potentially go on hormones and legally change his name. He is considering top surgery, in which female breast tissue is removed to create a male-appearing chest, but it requires a lot of time due to the two-week recovery period. Though Jackson does not
claim to be a transsexual, he is still considering the procedure. “I would eventually like to blend a little bit more, be a bit more masculine by the time I am seeking employment,” Jackson said. “The transition process takes a really long time, but through it, I am becoming more self-aware than I ever was.”
must be kissed by an upperclassman in the well house at midnight. The kiss must continue until the Student Building clock has chimed 12 times. The well house, built in 1908, was named for then-member of the Board of Trustees Theodore Rose. He had it built over an old cistern as a way to save limestone portals from a building on IU’s first campus. The house became a popular spot to give fraternity pins or engagement rings. As a fourth-generation IU student, Zach grew up hearing about the tradition of taking someone important for a kiss at the well house. But when he made his plans, he didn’t tell
his family. He said he’d rather wait and tell them the story in person. When Valentine’s Day neared its last hour, the snow had melted and crows peered down from the treetops at the few couples in the well house. The air filled with the sound of wings flapping and crow poop splattering on the sidewalk. But the night Zach and Becca were there, the ground was covered in a layer of white, and the air was quiet. Six other couples were in and around the well house, quietly talking and playing in the snow. It was Zach and Becca’s first Valentine’s Day together, and Zach had plans to make it special.
On a college campus, casual hookups can be acceptable because obligations are few. Becca said some of her friends are happier single because they think they might be missing out on someone else. But for her and Zach, it’s about simple things — hanging out in a dorm room, watching “The Big Bang Theory” and having a first date at Collins’ brunch. Inside the well house, they found a spot and watched Zach’s phone for the countdown. As the clock changed to midnight, the chimes of a clock tower didn’t toll. But as the snow fell, seven couples stood kissing. Tradition lived. And Zach and Becca shared a kiss.

Mother Bear’s Pizza Mother Bear’s pizza has been synonymous with awards. It has won the best Pizza in Bloomington seven 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 GoldÄsh 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.
