WELCOME TO BLOOMINGTON!
A letter from your provost The first time I saw IU, I marveled, “This is what a college campus should look like.” I have never lost my appreciation of the beauty of the campus, and I am absolutely delighted to be able to share it with you. But the physical beauty of the campus is only the start of its treasures. This guide will open windows throughout the campus and community. It will give you a taste of the history, traditions, people and places that shape IU and Bloomington, our home. I invite you to wander the paths of our campus and discover IU’s famous limestone landmarks — from quaint Beck Chapel to the grand and sprawling Indiana Memorial Union; from the historic buildings on the Old Crescent to I.M. Pei’s modernist IU Art Museum. As you walk, take advantage of the many tempting places for a brief respite: Showalter Fountain, the Rose Well House and the
IU Arboretum. If you have time, take a moment to sit by the statue of IU’s legendary president Herman B Wells and read about his remarkable legacy in Source. Source also showcases several of our world-renowned campus gems — some decades old and some quite new. The IU Cinema, one of our newer gems, is a gorgeous place to see a contemporary or classic film. The cinema combines the glory of the moviehouses of old with state-of-the-art technologies to create one of the best film-viewing experiences in the country. Artistic creativity and diversity abound at IU and in Bloomington. While you are here, I hope you will be able to take in a worldclass concert performed by our superbly talented Jacobs School of Music students and faculty; enjoy a production at one of the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center’s venues; see a national
touring show at the IU Auditorium; or watch a student dance performance at the downtown Buskirk-Chumley Theatre. Less tangible on your visit, but fundamentally vital to the nature of our community, are our nationally ranked and internationally acclaimed academic programs. Source will give you a glimpse of a few of those. We would be delighted to share more information about our outstanding academic programs. If your visit allows, we hope you will take time to explore the town. Take a bike ride down the B-line trail. Stroll through the Bloomington Farmers’ Market on Saturday morning. Enjoy a meal at one of our wonderful restaurants along Fourth Street or Kirkwood Avenue. As you do, you will be surrounded by our remarkably distinguished faculty and the highly promising students who come to IU from all over Indiana,

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, selected from a poll run by an honorary upperclassmen’s organization in the Indiana Daily Student. While 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 only raised $37.27 of the $75 necessary to purchase a pedigreed pooch. Hoosier Schoolmaster, debuted 1951 Then-sophomore Dick Albershardt came 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 a warm one. The article said, “In fifty 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, Source • Campus Visitors Guide
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. 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. 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.

1867 The University admits its first female student, Sarah Parke Morrison, making IU one of the first state universities to admit men and women on an equal basis. Morrison went on to become the first female professor at IU. Morrison Hall is named for her. The Indiana Daily Student (originally called The Indiana Student), a free daily newspaper produced by IU students, is founded. 1883 The University’s original campus in Seminary Square burns to the ground in a fire thought to be caused by a lightning strike. The trustees estimated the loss at more than $100,000. Some wanted the school moved to Indianapolis, but the trustees voted to rebuild on a 20-acre site called Dunn’s Woods at Bloomington’s then-eastern edge. 1885 Biologist David Starr Jordan becomes school president. At age 34, he was the nation’s youngest university president. Although IU was secular, Jordan was the first non-clergyman president. He later became president of Stanford University. The Jordan River and Jordan Hall are named after him. 1889 The Hoosiers join the prestigious Big Ten Conference. IU teams have won or shared 157 Big Ten Conference championships. National team titles now total 25 — 24 NCAA, one AIAW.

1838 The legislature changes the school’s name, for the final time, to Indiana University. The name went from State Seminary to Indiana College to IU.
1951 IU puts on the first Little 500 bike race. Howdy Wilcox Jr., executive director of the IU Student Foundation, founded the Little 500 bicycle race. Wilcox modeled the race after the Indianapolis 500. Every April, IU puts on the race at the Bill Armstrong Stadium. The 1979 Academy Award-winning film “Breaking Away” featured the race. 1976 The undefeated men’s basketball team wins the championship under the coaching of Bob Knight. No other team has won undefeated since. Knight’s volatile personality often got him into trouble during his time at IU. He once memorably threw a chair across the court. He was fired from his coaching position in 2000 after grabbing the arm of a student who he felt had been disrespectful to him. 2007 Michael A. McRobbie is named the 18th president of IU. 2011 Kappa Alpha Psi, the first black fraternity at IU and one of the first of its kind in the country, celebrates its 100th anniversary. It was founded in 1911 in Bloomington. In July, nearly 4,000 members traveled to Bloomington to celebrate to fraternity’s centennial. 2012 IU trustees approve new School of Global and International Studies. In 2013, the University hires former U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, the longest-serving senator in Indiana’s history and the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and former U.S. Rep. Lee Hamilton as faculty for the new school.

IU ICONS From a tree to an arc, here are some facts you need to know.
IDS FILE PHOTO
HERMAN B WELLS STATUE WHERE Located on the benches in the middle of the Old Crescent. FAST FACT The life-sized statue was dedicated during IU’s Homecoming weekend in 2000. What most students miss, however, is the inscription on the underside of the brim of Wells’ hat, which reads, “IU vs Minnesota Oct. 12 2000. Go Gophers.” The inscription was written by artist Tuck Langland, an alumnus of the University of Minnesota.
ARBORETUM WHERE Located on Tenth Street near the Wells Library. FAST FACT The tree-filled Arboretum was built in 1982 where the old Memorial Stadium once stood. The “Old Oaken Bucket” made its first appearance during the IUPurdue football game when the stadium was dedicated in 1925.
SWEETHEART TREE
WHERE Located inside the Chemistry Building. FAST FACT The Chemistry Building was built on property donated by the Dunn family, but the family had three stipulations, one being that the “sweetheart tree” could not be cut down or moved. The family wished to preserve the tree because two men in the family proposed to their girlfriends near the tree and carved their initials in it. The tree is showcased in the building’s center.

THE LEGEND OF DUNN CEMETERY BY JOHN BAUERNFEIND jogbauer@indiana.edu
Between the Indiana Memorial Union and Ballantine Hall lie two landmarks of IU lore and tradition. Beck Chapel and Dunn Cemetery stand adjacent to one another, prominent figures on a campus flooded with icons of the past. Allison Sparks, event manager at the IMU, said Beck Chapel was constructed in 1956 and draws mostly wedding ceremonies. “We do not have a waiting list, contrary to many peoples’ beliefs,” Sparks said. “You could get married in the chapel tomorrow if you wanted to.” Sparks said the chapel can hold up to three weddings in a day, and in the months of May through July, each Saturday is
typically fully booked. The chapel is also home to some fraternity and sorority initiation rituals, as well as study and prayer for all faiths. The building, made of Indiana limestone, is a non-denominational haven for students practicing any religion. In 1956, Frank and Daisy Beck presented the chapel as a gift to IU, their alma mater. Frank Beck, an alumnus from the class of 1894, wished to provide the campus with a place in which students could meditate and worship. Just next to the small chapel lies Dunn Cemetery, a small graveyard filled with worn grass and slowly eroding tombs. “Some people call it ‘God’s Little Acre,’” said Thom Simmons, associate executive director of the IMU. “It’s about an acre in size.” Unlike the chapel, the his-

tory of Dunn Cemetery is obscure and convoluted, evoking more legend than fact. What is known is the cemetery was named after the Dunn family, which previously owned a farm across the land on which most of the campus now stands. When the University sought to buy the farm, the Dunn family agreed to sell it to the school on one condition: the cemetery would remain untouched. The first burial was conducted in 1814, two years before Indiana became a state and six before the school’s founding.
Dunn Cemetery is still active, though only relatives and spouses of the Dunn family are to be buried there. Simmons said Edward Hutton, the namesake of IU’s Hutton Honors College, was married to a descendent of the Dunns. When he died in 2009, his ashes were buried in the family cemetery. The histories of Beck Chapel and Dunn Cemetery are intertwined with that of the University, histories in the heart of campus.

The legacy of Herman B Wells Wells lauded as visionary for IU’s modern age BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu
Before Herman B Wells took charge of IU as president in 1938, the University was a small midwestern college with just 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,” James Capshew, associate professor of history and philosophy of science and author of a Wells biography, said. “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 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,” Chancellor Emeritus Ken Gros Louis said. “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, and they were all done in a similar, nontraditional fashion. “He didn’t rustle feathers,” Capshew said. “He found a way to remove barriers.” During the early part of his presidency, The Gables, a restaurant originally located on Indiana Avenue, did not serve black students. Wells called the owner of the restaurant and asked him to serve blacks. The owner re8 • Fall 2013

fused. “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, Bill Garrett. He stood up against powerful figures, such as the governor, in defense of Alfred Kinsey, whose controversial research into human sexuality drew criticism from big name leaders locally and internationally. 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 ought to 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 had 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 from other countries and teach at IU. “Indiana University built the strongest foreign language program of any university in the nation,” Capshew said. “That really got started with Wells after World War II.” But beyond providing for its future, 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, when he was not able to do that anymore, his assistants helped him.
“The most recently hired custodian was as important to him as the most distinguished professor.” Ken Gros Louis, Chancellor Emeritus
“He really led through that empathy, that fellow feeling that he had for students and faculty,” Capshew said. Today, Wells is still 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 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 LIFE STORY OF IU’S LIMESTONE BY MARY HAUBER mhauber@indiana.edu RABI ABONOUR | IDS
“I call architecture frozen music,” German playwright and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said. If this is so, IU’s campus is a concert and limestone is the melody, IU vice president emeritus Terry Clapacs said. Clapacs was one of the longest-serving vice presidents in IU’s history and supervised the development of over two-thirds of what is now IU. “It’s not only a tie that bonds buildings on campus, but a tie that bonds Monroe County and Bloomington and IU together,” Clapacs said. The uniform look of IU is one of the reasons everyone likes the campus, Clapacs explained. There are two factors which create this consistency. First is the landscaping, which is consistent throughout campus in its beauty. Second is the building vocabulary, Clapacs said. The majority of IU’s buildings around campus are limestone, and if they aren’t, limestone has influenced the design and appearance of the building. Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate. There is an abundance of limestone in southern Indiana because the area was largely unaffected by glaciers. Source • Campus Visitors Guide
“For the most part, it was never glaciated, which was fortunate for us,” Clapacs said. Kathryn Shaffer, minerals statistician at the Indiana Geological Survey, said Indiana is one of the biggest suppliers of limestone in the nation. “Indiana usually ranks first in the nation in dimension limestone production,” Shaffer said. “It is considered a premier building stone that has been used extensively in construction of many of our nation’s best-known buildings.” Famous buildings bearing Indiana limestone include the Pentagon, the National Cathedral and the Empire State Building. Salem limestone, referred to as Indiana limestone, has been locally quarried in Monroe and Lawrence counties since 1827 and was accessible for building on the IU campus. But before IU became known for its limestone campus, there was Seminary Square. Serving as the IU campus for 60 years, the Seminary Square campus met its end in a fire. Science Hall, which housed the school’s library, was struck by lightning. People took this fire as a sign that campus was in the wrong place, Clapacs said. This area is now located on South College Avenue, and has been memorialized with a park
in Bloomington. When the Board of Trustees had to decide whether to move the campus to Indianapolis or stay in Bloomington, Bloomington received the majority of the vote, and the trustees purchased 20 acres on which to rebuild the campus. IU’s first limestone building, Maxwell Hall, was built in 1890. Clapacs said this building is his favorite, and he is commissioning a painting of the building which will include his dog. “I think the University got it right the first time out of the box,” Clapacs said. A detail that connects the previous campus with the current one is the Rose Well House. The Rose Well House had originally been a part of the Science Building from the old campus and was kept in storage for many years, Clapacs said. It was intended to be where the Sample Gates are today, but did not allow enough free flow of students. It now sits slightly away from the Sample Gates and Kirkwood Avenue. Two buildings on campus are not quite as favorable to Clapacs as the rest. Ballantine was described by President Herman B Wells as one of his three mistakes, Clapacs said. “Ballantine is limestone, but completely out of style with the rest of campus,” Clapacs said.
“It’s not only a tie that bonds buildings on campus, but a tie that bonds Monroe County and Bloomington and IU together.” Terry Clapacs, vice president emeritus
The IU Art Museum also stands out to Clapacs. “I’ll tell you what I think about the Art Museum,” Clapacs said. “I love the building itself. As it stands alone, it’s lovely in many ways.” However, he said in conjunction with the other buildings around Showalter plaza, it does not fit so well. “The Showalter Plaza centerpiece is the IU Auditorium, and the angle coming out of the art museum distracts the eye of someone coming into the circle,” Clapacs said. However, these buildings do not take away from IU. “The beauty of this campus is not something that’s new,” Clapacs said. “It’s a place that’s easy to love and it’s a lot of what we all have spent our lives trying to do.” —Sarah Boyum contributed to this report.

Jim Canary holds up a book of hours -- a type of prayer book -- written and illustrated by hand in 15th century Netherlands. He plans to resew the binding, and the entire repair process will take about 10 hours of uninterrupted work. 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 Lilly. 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 gall ink or hand-colored illustrations, which are especially susceptible to fading. A footcandle 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. Source • Campus Visitors Guide
INSIDE THE LILLY LIBRARY 450,000 number of books, plus 7.5 million manuscripts, stored at the Lilly Library. 6,400,000 number of bound volumes the Ruth Lilly Auxiliary Library Facility can hold. 16,000 number of miniature books housed in the Lilly’s collection. 24 maximum number of hours it takes for any book to be retrieved from the ALF. STORAGE Any books that seem loose or fragile are kept in a handmade box or “clam shell.” Anything less than half-an-inch thick is kept in an envelope. PAGES To clean stains, a book can be de-acidified, or alkalized, by either 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 two key values in the library’s functionality. “We still are a functioning library,” Canary said. “Books are meant to be used.” Fall 2013 • 11

Cinema Director Jon Vickers
Life in the movie business IU Cinema director Jon Vickers brings films to campus
BY BRIAN WELK bwelk@indiana.edu
Building a movie theater is not a good business venture. It requires starting from scratch, working long hours, juggling numerous responsibilities and meeting a lot of people. It is an all-consuming endeavor. But IU Cinema Director Jon Vickers wants to change your life and the lives of others. This is the job for him. Vickers put out a similar manifesto before selling his privately owned theater, the Vickers Theater, in Three Oaks, Mich. He warned potential buyers that although the theater was profitable, running it meant heavy lifting in service to the community. For several years, IU lacked an on-campus movie facility. In three years and five seasons, Vickers has worked tirelessly to build a film-loving community in Bloomington. In the IU Cinema, he’s created something from nothing and done all he can to add to an already thriving arts scene. “If sometimes my job is allencompassing, it’s because, plain Source • Campus Visitors Guide
and simple, I want it to be great,” Vickers said. “I want this to succeed, and I’ll do whatever it takes to reach our goals.” FORMING RELATIONSHIPS The IU Cinema is equipped with two digital projectors — a 16-millimeter projector and a 35-millimeter projector running reel to reel — and a total equipment build-out exceeding $2
million, enough to trump any multiplex in the country. But one of the most important pieces of the IU Cinema is pinned to the wall of Vickers’ office: a list of contacts. Even before his time at the IU Cinema, Vickers learned the movie theater business is built on relationships. Film prints are constantly delivered to the foot of his of-
fice door, so Vickers knows his bookers, distributors and FedEx delivery man. He knows his audience, too. Vickers’ open door spills right into the cinema’s downstairs lobby, and signed posters of past film series provide a welcoming face for the public. “If they have enough trust in you, it doesn’t matter what’s playing,” Vickers said. “They’re going to come. I guess that’s as long as you don’t blow it by completely offending them or start showing garbage.” It’s a mission statement he might have borrowed from his family company, Vickers Engineering: “Quality is something that should be assumed, not applauded.” Born in Kouts, Ind., and raised in Lakeside, Mich., Vickers developed a love for film watching “Jaws” and other monster movies at the Lee Theater near his home. “Movies were escapism for me, purely entertainment,” Vickers said. “Kids like myself around the neighborhood just went and

Taboo topics Kinsey Institute upholds legacy of controversial researcher BY RAVEN CARPENTER ravecarp@indiana.edu
Sex is usually a pretty taboo subject, but at IU’s Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction, the bedroom is their business. The Kinsey Institute, while sometimes controversial, has become one of the top places in the world for sexual research. The institute’s primary focus is to provide research about and analysis of sexuality to researchers and the public. Alfred Kinsey, a biologist and zoologist, was the founder. He was curious about human sexual behaviors and relationships. He researched his theories using face-to-face interviews, which, especially during the initial stages, caused quite a commotion. From this, he developed the Kinsey Reports, two books featuring human sexuality — one for males and
14 • Fall 2013
one for females. The institute was brought to IU in 1947 to provide a stable and secure location for Kinsey’s research. “It’s one of the treasures of Indiana University,” said Jennifer Bass, communications director for the Kinsey Institute. “There are many students who are interested in human sexuality, and there are not very many academic sources for studying topics related to sexuality.” Today, the institute includes artwork, books, films and other resources. It has even branched out to create Kinsey Confidential, a questionand-answer blog for students to learn more about sex and relationships in a straightforward and objective fashion. Undergraduate and grad students are encouraged to volunteer, intern or work with the institute, often for credit hours toward their degrees.

The history of one of IU’s most recognizable landmarks is housed inside the IU Archives. The Sample Gates have become one of the most recognizable places on campus, said Krista Timney, senior associate director of marketing and communications for the IU Office of Admissions. Images of the Sample Gates appear in the main admissions brochure sent to prospective students, Timney said, as well as other pamphlets and emails. Carrie Schwier, an assistant archivist with IU Archives, said she first conceived the idea of a Sample Gates exhibit in 2010, but the bulk of the work was all done in about a month in 2012. “I came to Bloomington to come to graduate school with the
image in my head that the Sample Gates had always been there,” Schwier said. The Sample Gates, located on Indiana and Kirkwood avenues at the edge of campus, were dedicated in 1987 and will turn 27 this June. “It’s such an iconic symbol of campus, and to realize that something so recent is so iconic, I wanted to learn about it,” Schwier said. Initially, IU’s graduating classes of 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1902 had the idea for an entrance to campus from Kirkwood Avenue. The landmark wasn’t always as well-received as it is today. Among the other documents displayed in the IU Archives’ exhibit is a column from a 1972 issue of the Indiana Daily Student titled “I.U. needs education, not gates.” The University considered

Looking ahead at Hoosier Nation Fans have a lot to look forward to in fall, winter sports BY ROBBY HOWARD robhowar@indiana.edu
Hoosier fans watched multiple sports achieve success in 2012-13, starting with championships in the fall and winter. The men’s soccer team won its eighth National Championship. The men’s basketball team advanced to its second consecutive Sweet 16 and won its first outright Big Ten regular season championship in 20 years. The football team saw the first Big Ten wins of the IU Coach Kevin Wilson era, and signed its highest-ranked recruiting class ever with the 2013 class. The women’s basketball and volleyball teams both upset Purdue. With the start of the 2013-14 season, Hoosier fans are looking for more success. All eyes will be glued to the men’s basketball team once again as the departures of Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller, Christian Watford and Jordan Hulls to professional basketball leave a large hole in the Hoosier roster. Oladipo and Zeller were drafted No. 2 and No. 4 overall in the 2013 NBA Draft, marking the first time IU has had two players taken in the top five of the draft. IU Coach Tom Crean secured one of the top freshmen classes in the country, headlined by 6-foot9-inch Noah Vonleh, to fill the void. Graduate student guard Evan Gordon, brother of former IU guard Eric Gordon, transferred 16 • Fall 2013
to IU for his final year of eligibility to help bring experience to the roster. Sophomore guard Yogi Ferrell and senior forward Will Sheehey enter the season after competing in the 2013 World University Games for Team USA. IU’s only team national champion also looks to continue its success this season. The men’s soccer team watched Eriq Zavaleta and Luis Soffner go to Major League Soccer after capturing the eighth star for the program. The team enters 2013 looking to replace both its top scorer and goalkeeper and make another run to a national championship with returning senior midfielders A.J. Corrado, Nikita Kotlov, Harrison Petts and Jacob Bushue. The team also returns sophomore forwards Femi HollingerJanzen and Andrew Oliver, who combined to score six goals in their freshmen campaigns. At Memorial Stadium, Wilson will look to use the best recruiting class in IU history to immediately help a team that has won five games in the last two years. IU returns three quarterback options who all played last season in sophomores Tre Roberson and Nate Sudfeld and junior Cam Coffman. Senior running back Stephen Houston enters the season at No. 6 on IU’s all-time career rushing touchdowns leader list with 20 and seventh all-time with 24 total touchdowns as a Hoosier.

VISITOR’S GUIDE TO THE IMU BY JACLYN LANSBERY jlansber@indiana.edu
The Indiana Memorial Union is more than just a hotel. It’s the go-to spot on campus for pretty much everything. When completed in 1932, it was the world’s largest student union. We’ve broken down three of the floors to keep you from getting lost.
FIRST FLOOR SOUTH LOUNGE The South Lounge, a brief walk from the IMU Starbucks, is a frequented stop for students looking for a cozy place to study. Students can sink into the large leather couches or read at a table near the windows. TUDOR ROOM The Tudor Room is a great place to take your family to lunch. They even have delicious Sunday brunches. For more information about dining in this beautiful setting, visit imu.indiana.edu/dining/tudorroom.shtml.

Kirkwood Observatory looks to the skies BY DIANNE OSLAND dosland@indiana.edu
Nestled on the edge of campus near the Sample Gates, the Kirkwood Observatory makes stargazing accessible to the general public. Astronomy graduate student Maria Cordero gives the details on this round-topped piece of history. The observatory is named for Daniel Kirkwood, a professor of mathematics at IU from 18561886. His name also graces nearby Kirkwood Avenue and a lunar crater, due to his significant research in comets, asteroids and meteors. Dedicated in 1901 and used for research on binary stars, the observatory now serves only as an educational facility. A 111-year-old, 12-inch
refracting telescope sits on the upper floor. On public viewing nights, the top of the observatory opens up for the scope to peer out at the skies. The best time for viewing is in the summer, but December brings events like the opposition of Jupiter, when the planet shines from opposite the sun. This means Jupiter and some of its moons will be visible through Kirkwood’s telescope. Public viewings are Wednesday nights March to November. Viewing times vary based on the season, check their website astro. indiana.edu/kirkwood.shtml.

» CINEMA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 had a good time, but it wasn’t an addiction.” His dream then was not to own a theater but build a community centered around the movies for a new generation. So, when the Lee Theater went up for sale, Vickers and his wife, Jennifer, made an impulsive decision and bought it within five days. They renovated the building and opened Vickers Theater in 1996. STARTING FROM SCRATCH When they first purchased the Lee Theater, Jon and Jennifer wanted to live a bohemian lifestyle. “It was pretty naïve,” he said. “We put our hearts and souls into this project, making it into a romantic and elegant space. When we set up our theater, we set up our entire booth ourselves. We didn’t have equipment three months before we opened and didn’t know anything about it. One thing I’ve learned is that if you’re willing to have patience, common sense and put in the time, you can do anything.” Living a bohemian lifestyle would be no easier for him at Source • Campus Visitors Guide
the IU Cinema. Jon Stante, one of the cinema’s house managers, said Vickers simply doesn’t know the 40-hour workweek, as he greets patrons at the door, introduces films on stage and, finally, watches everyone leave. “Just as anyone who is passionate about anything, Jon likes to have his hands in everything, from the technical aspect to promoting and marketing,” Stante said. Communication and Culture Professor Greg Waller was the chair on the search committee for the IU Cinema director, and he said Vickers knew precisely the complications of building a campus theater having operated one at Notre Dame. “Immediately with Jon, it was apparent how enthusiastic he was and how experienced he was,” Waller said. “He had done it. That was crucial. You know, in an interview like that, that they know to ask the right questions. They know the budget they’ll need. They know the tech support. If they don’t ask those questions, they’re naïve, and they’re going to get swamped when they take the job.” Waller said no one, including
Vickers, realized the sheer complexity of constructing the theater, programming a film schedule and dealing with its constituents in such a short amount of time. “What was a challenge, but was an exciting challenge, was building something from scratch,” Vickers said. “Building every protocol, policy, every piece of infrastructure that you need to run a business from scratch, with a small staff and not doing it on a minor scale but on a major scale where hopefully we can make an impression and make a reputation. It’s a super exciting challenge, but it is almost all-consuming.” In 2010, Vickers took the IU Cinema job, embracing the opportunity to create something special. CHANGING YOUR WORLD “A line that I repeat often is from a song from the ’80s by a band called The The. ‘If you can’t change the world, change your world.’ Vickers said. Vickers started by changing his job in Michigan and ended up changing his neighborhood. At Notre Dame, he changed his perspective and found a new di-
rection for the entire arts scene there. In the last three years, his change has been a radical relocation, a completely fresh position and a new family of people. His effect can be seen in those who work most closely with him. “This has been a life journey for him,” Stante said. “His goal is to encourage the discovery of life through film.” Now Vickers’ goal is to grow the cinema’s national reputation until it is driving enrollment at IU and attracting A-list talent to stay in Bloomington. Vickers hopes to one day touring each of the 50 states with the American Film Institute’s Top 100 films. He even hopes to make a movie inspired by the ancient Chinese poet Dogen’s thoughts about impermanence. “Being a couple of years into this, I have the ability to be a little more casual here than I was at Notre Dame,” he said. “I love music, love the arts, love seeing plays, love seeing the opera and I love being outside sitting with nothing to do. I just like enjoying what’s around us, and Bloomington’s a great place to do that.”

Thirty-seven 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 seat. They tried to defy gravity, turning corners as sharply as humanly possible. They rejoiced. They were champions. Thirty-seven 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. Before that, 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 the women said they never felt slighted by riding tricycles because it was still a competitive event. It wasn’t a bike race, but they didn’t feel like they were treated unfairly. “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 on the bikes with the guys?’” The race consisted of three teams on the court at once, racing up and down the court at Assembly Hall, making hairpin turns at the end to try to conserve time and stay within the boundary lines. Get outside the lines, and it was a scratch. That team was disqualified. Teams competed in a bracket-style tournament, with the winner of each heat advancing on to the next round, while the other two were eliminated. 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. “It was like you put one foot off,” said Joni Blattner Friese, a member of the 1980 Delta Delta Delta team, “and you threw the trike forward and the other person would grab it and jump on.” 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 in the event. Each sorority was paired with a fraternity, and the women said the men coached them. “The key was the exchanges,” Knox said. “The track for the tricycles races was just really 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?’” Long said. 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 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. “I remember, (IU President John Ryan) was asking me something about the race,” Knox said. “And it was so loud, I was leaning down going, ‘I can’t hear anything you’re asking me.’ Everybody was going nuts.” The members of team said they have only 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. They all smiled and nodded in agreement when reflecting on the year. “Especially winning,” Long said. Source • Campus Visitors Guide
“World’s greatest college weekend” Little 500 full of tradition, history BY STEPHANIE KUZYDUM skuzydym@indiana.edu
T
o 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 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 around a quarter-mile 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 “Cutters” after the phrase was used as an insult to stone cutters who worked at Bloomington limestone quarries. It’s also an experience that 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 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 so much bigger than yourself and much bigger than just a bike race in April.”

Throw a stone from the Sample Gates and you’re bound to hit at least one restaurant, shop or café on Kirkwood. Here, we point out some of our B-town favorites. NICK’S ENGLISH HUT 423 E. Kirkwood Ave. Few Hoosiers have left Bloomington without setting foot in this establishment. With old newspaper clippings, IU decor and televisions always set to that day’s big game, Nick’s epitomizes the IU spirit. Try the pizza or burgers, and for those over 21, be sure to play a round of Sink the Biz (don’t forget the fries!). THE BOOK CORNER 100 N. Walnut Ave. Located right on the square, The Book Corner is a cozy shop for book lovers. The staff is more than willing to help you find what you’re looking for, place a special order or recommend a good read. THE POURHOUSE CAFÉ 314 E. Kirkwood Ave. The Pourhouse is more than your typical coffeeshop — 100% of the tips and profits are given to charities around the world. Oh, and it also serves killer espresso drinks, pastries and gelato.

RUNCIBLE SPOON 412 E. Sixth St. For weekend brunch, the Runcible Spoon is the best. Try home fries to cure a late night out or any of their omelets. The funky atmosphere fits with Bloomington’s college-town vibe, and the coffee is better than any Starbucks. CACTUS FLOWER 322 E. Kirkwood Ave. Bloomington’s one-stop shop for vintage lovers, this store has the latest trends on the first floor while the upstairs looks like your hip grandmother’s attic (just not as dusty). ANYETSANG’S LITTLE TIBET 415 E. Fourth St. Bloomington’s Fourth Street plays host to a spread of ethnic restaurants, but Little Tibet is one known for its traditional mo-mo dumplings. Don’t forget to ask for extra ginger soy sauce. BUFFALOUIE’S 114 S. Indiana Ave. Source • Campus Visitors Guide

DAYTRIP DESTINATIONS Did you somehow explore all of campus and town? Meet some of Bloomington’s neighbors. BY BEN SIMMONS | benrsimm@indiana.edu
INDIANAPOLIS 70 minutes northwest Follow State Road 37 north out of town to reach this bustling metropolis, the capital and largest city in Indiana. The Circle City might be best known for its passion for sports, with the Colts (NFL), Pacers (NBA) and Indians (Triple-A baseball) calling downtown home. On the west side, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway plays host to The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, the Indianapolis 500, in addition to NASCAR’s Brickyard 400 each year. Indianapolis has plenty to offer outside of athletics, however. Those looking to shop will find a welcoming place, with malls scattered throughout the city — perhaps none more chic than the Fashion Mall on the city’s north side. For those in search of a younger, more hip crowd — or simply some awesome food — the near-north side’s Broad Ripple Village is perfect. The closest thing to Bloomington in Indy, Broad Ripple has garnered a reputation for being artsy and fun with fairs and bars all around.
NASHVILLE, IND. 30 minutes east Art enthusiasts will find Nashville to be a small slice of heaven — the Brown County Art Gallery, Brown County Art Guild and T.C. Steele State Historic Site all house paintings past and present by top artists from around the state. The town’s artistic spirit draws inspiration from nearby Brown County State Park, which offers some of the most spectacular views and plentiful wildlife in the Hoosier state — which may be explored by foot, mountain bike or even by horse, all on the park’s extensive trail system. If you’re a music buff, catch the Lloyd Wood Show at Mike’s Dance Barn just outside town or the world’s oldest continuous running bluegrass festival at Bill Monroe’s Music Park every June.
FRENCH LICK, IND. 80 minutes south Nestled in the rural stretch of land between Bloomington and the Ohio River, French Lick might seem an unlikely spot for a resort town. However, the historic settlement, once a French trading post, boasts luxury hotels, a large casino, three golf courses and Big Splash Adventure Water Park, making it a perfect family getaway. Nearby Pakota Lake, especially popular during the summer, provides a picturesque backdrop for aquatic activities of all types. For a change of pace and mode of transportation, try the French Lick Scenic Railway, which takes passengers well into Hoosier National Forest and even features mock “train robberies” on select weekends.
COLUMBUS, IND. 60 minutes east Widely renowned for its bold architecture, Columbus makes for an off-beat destination as unique as it is inspiring. While the south-central Indiana town of 40,000 might not seem like an ideal location for architectural innovation, it has a global reputation. The Chicago Tribune has referred to Columbus as “a small town architectural mecca,” and Smithsonian Magazine similarly complimented it as a “veritable museum of modern architecture.” Whatever name visitors choose to assign to the town, they can explore it and judge for themselves on a guided bus tour — but those with limited time should be sure to check out First Christian Church, North Christian Church and Mabel McDowell Adult Education Center, all of which have been designated National Historic Landmarks.

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.

Bloomington Hardware Bloomington Hardware has been a part of Bloomington since the late 1880’s. It has been owned and operated by Äve generations of the Temple family. The current owner, Vickie Temple Davison, and her late husband John Temple moved from their downtown location on the southside of the square to the current location on College Mall Road in the 1980’s. Their daughter Kristi was a baby then. Kristi now brings her baby daughter to work with her, so there are three generations “working” under the Bloomington Hardware roof. The current location has great parking; easy access from the IU campus by car, bike, foot or bus line. It is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. There are two Bloomington Hardware websites – .com and .net! This way customers can access two diɈerent warehouses and Änd whatever they need. Of course the folks in the bricks and mortar location can help with special orders too! The very nature of a hardware store is to help people, whether novices or professionals, to be successful on any and all of their projects. Just like the old days downtown, we still climb up ladders or dig around in little boxes to Änd a part needed or a string of Christmas lights to decorate a dorm room. Repair, reuse, repurpose, reduce and recycle is what all those little gadgets and gizmos are for! It was nice to be known for solving problems then; it’s even better to have that same reputation in this day and age.
Our Paint Department is great ... whether you are the contractor painting an entire complex or if you are an art student ~ come in. Our paint is highly ranked by Consumer Reports and our customers. We mix the most beautiful colors ... turquoises, teals, taupes and corals for a summery or southwest feel on their kitchen or bedroom walls or for a vibrant statement piece of furniture. Whether an apartment, a mobile home, a bungalow restoration or vacation retreat ... people want their personality to show through. Color is powerful! That “special” paint color inside or outside, can do just that ... show oɈ “you”. Paint is a cheap way to get a BIG change. We love being a part of someone making their space their home. Of course, that feeling is true when you need help with a leaky toilet or stopping bugs in the kitchen or killing those weeds in the lawn... we just love helping people be successful. People garden, recycle and repair because of the economy, their health and their conscience. We believe it’s the right choice to do this as well. We even have how-to links on our Facebook page. We carry a wide variety of tools, plumbing repair parts, energy eɉcient light bulbs, shower heads, organic soils, natural fertilizers and non-chemical pesticides, because we care about the environment too. We are proud to be your local hometown hardware store with competitive prices and friendly, knowledgeable employees. Thanks for choosing us and making Bloomington Hardware “your” hardware store.
